Time Travel: I'm a Flower Thief

Upon hearing this, Xie Daoyun turned around, walked up to Xie Xiaoyi, and reached out to touch his wrist.

After a long while, he hissed and his brows furrowed slightly.

Another half-cup of tea's time passed before he withdrew his hand, his tone somber:

"You took Wang Zijian's angry attack head-on. He pierced through your hidden meridians and even cracked your dantian."

Xie Xiaoyi knew that the damage to the hidden meridians and the crack in the sea of ​​qi could be treated by either guiding true qi or using spiritual medicine.

But right now his meridians are completely empty, and he can't gather even a trace of true energy, which is truly extraordinary.

"Senior, I know that the injuries to my hidden meridians and dantian are not incurable, but now... I can't even mobilize the true energy within my body?"

Xie Daoyun stared at him for a moment, his face full of certainty:

"The true energy you've gained by opening your meridians and nourishing your dantian and sea of ​​qi, you must have obtained it through dual cultivation, right?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Xiaoyi's face instantly turned bright red. After stammering for a while, he finally nodded.

Xie Daoyun grunted in agreement and continued, "That explains it all!"

Your early foundation was not cultivated through your own hard work, but rather forcibly transferred in through the primordial yin of a woman. It may seem abundant, but in reality, it is like a rootless duckweed.

Now that the Qi Sea is shattered and the hidden meridians are severed, external true Qi has lost its support and naturally cannot be raised at all.

"Foreign internal energy... could it be the power of the auspicious beast within me?"

Xie Daoyun nodded, his tone becoming more serious: "Your injuries aren't severe right now, but they won't heal easily."

Prince Jian spent those eighty-one days merely gathering immortal essence and reshaping his mortal body.

Repairing your shattered hidden meridians and dantian is even more difficult than achieving his "Nine Returns to One" technique.

Upon hearing this, Xie Xiaoyi's heart sank, and he quickly asked, "Senior, is there any way to remedy this?"

"There is a way, but we need to discuss this with your many female confidantes first."

Do I need to discuss with them how to treat my injuries?

Xie Xiaoyi didn't dwell on it and immediately called out softly to the outside, "Aunt, Senior Sister, Sister Yaoqin..."

Xie Lingyun and the others, who were already worried about his injuries, were waiting outside when they heard his urgent calls and returned to the wooden house.

Xie Daoyun's gaze then fell on Hua Suwen: "You are the disciple of the peerless physician Hua Tianyi, right?"

Hua Suwen paused for a moment, then nodded slightly: "Yes, Senior Xie, is there anything you need?"

Xie Daoyun then asked, "Do you know that the hidden meridians in the human body follow the directions of the Earthly Branches, hidden deep within the meridians, and are the fundamental hidden meridians for the circulation of true qi?"

Hua Suwen nodded again: "I know. The hidden meridians are ordered according to the twelve earthly branches and belong to twelve hidden acupoints throughout the body."

It is internally and externally related to the twelve regular meridians, but ordinary people cannot perceive it; only those who cultivate a foundation of true qi can sense it.

Xie Xiaoyi, who was standing nearby, was anxious and quickly spoke up:

"Senior sister, I can't access my internal energy in my meridians right now, and I can't detect any trace of energy in these twelve hidden meridians. What's going on?"

Xie Lingyun, Yun Qianxun, and the others were startled upon hearing this and hurriedly asked, "Xiao Yi, have you lost all your martial arts skills?"

Xie Xiaoyi smiled slightly and quickly shook his head: "My cultivation is still there, but my true energy cannot circulate."

Upon hearing Xie Xiaoyi's words, everyone's hearts sank, and they all looked at Hua Suwen, hoping she had some solution.

Hua Suwen thought for a while, but still couldn't understand:

"Junior brother, I am only proficient in the medical theory of meridians. I don't understand the intricacies of cultivation at all, so I can't give you a judgment from the perspective of cultivation."

Xie Daoyun glanced at Xie Xiaoyi's many beauties in the room and slowly spoke:

"He is currently unable to circulate his true energy, mainly because his hidden meridians have been pierced, and the original true energy he previously gained through dual cultivation has long been lost."

Without the guidance of primordial true energy, the power of the spirit beast within his body could not be mobilized at all.

There is no other way to completely cure him; we must refill his twelve hidden meridians one by one.

Everyone was puzzled, but Xie Xiaoyi understood. However, with so many women in front of him, even with his thick skin, he was too embarrassed to say it.

Hua Suwen frowned and looked at Xie Daoyun, asking, "Senior, how exactly is the filling method you mentioned performed?"

Xie Daoyun smiled faintly and explained slowly, "The one who tied the knot must untie it."

Xie Lingyun instantly understood and looked at Xie Xiaoyi: "Xiaoyi, your original true energy in the past was obtained through dual cultivation!"

Now that you need to fill the twelve hidden meridians, do you need someone you once cultivated with... to repair your meridians?

Xie Xiaoyi was embarrassed. He didn't dare to look at Xie Lingyun and could only force himself to say, "What Senior Tian Suanzi meant... is roughly like this."

Xie Lingyun ignored him and turned to Xie Daoyun, asking, "Senior, how exactly should we proceed?"

Xie Daoyun's calm tone instantly silenced the entire room:

"We need to find twelve people and extract the residual energy from their dual cultivation with Xie Xiaozi, one by one."

Then, the energy was injected into Xie Xiaozhi's twelve hidden meridians, using this as a guide to activate the Qi in his Dantian.

Twelve people?

There aren't that many women on Forget-Me-Not Island combined!

Upon hearing this, everyone was surprised and turned to look at Xie Xiaoyi. Yun Qianxun was the first to suppress her astonishment and speak:

"Xie Xiaoyi, when you practiced dual cultivation before, were there as many as twelve people?"

Xie Xiaoyi was instantly thrown into a social disaster. He lowered his head and stammered for a moment before finally nodding slightly.

Damn it, he actually nodded.

If there weren't so many people, Yun Qianxun would have loved to go up there and punch him in the chest right now.

Seeing this, Xie Daoyun chuckled and added, "It would be even better if we could find the twelve people whose birth dates correspond to the twelve earthly branches."

The twelve earthly branches, when paired with the birth chart, have the highest degree of compatibility with the hidden meridians of the other twelve branches, making healing twice as effective with half the effort.

The atmosphere in the room froze instantly, and Xie Xiaoyi felt the murderous aura emanating from all the women in the room.

Fu Yaoqin had been worried about him because he had almost lost his life to save her, but she had forgotten all of that now.

She was both surprised and angry, her tone cold and questioning:

"Xie Xiaoyi, you've actually had dual cultivation relationships with so many people? Do you even know each of their birthdays?"

Xie Xiaoyi?

They're all calling him by his full name...that's scary!

Hearing Fu Yaoqin's question, Xie Xiaoyi didn't dare to look at her and gritted her teeth as she said:

"I...I used to be a womanizer. Who asks about someone's birthdate before doing that kind of thing..."

Xie Daoyun smiled faintly, got up and walked towards the door of the wooden house, saying as he walked:

"The intelligence network of the number one manor in the world spans the entire Nine Provinces. Let the people of the manor handle this matter!"

He walked with unhurried steps, but when he reached the door, he suddenly stopped and turned his head slightly to look at Xie Xiaoyi:

"Give me a complete list of all the women you've had dual cultivation with, preferably without missing a single one..."

After saying that, Xie Daoyun walked towards a large ship on the beach.

On the ship, Shan Wuling, Hai Wuyai, and others were all waiting for this "omniscient" old manor lord to set sail.
