Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 1223 (One Thousand Two Hundred and Twenty Three) Leveling

Soon, the colors of the patterns disappeared, and the bearded man told Rao Yanqiao.

Rao Yanqiao asked: "Is the piece of paper you are looking at now complete?"

The bearded man said, "Yes."

"Is it flat?" Rao Yanqiao continued to ask.

The bearded man answered, “Yes.”

"Now please look at the golden incense burner and think about how the parts of your body that were previously injured by the decadent energy should heal as soon as possible." Rao Yanqiao said.

The bearded man nodded and did as he was told.

Rao Yanqiao held the paper up to the bearded man and chanted a spell for a while, then opened his eyes. The paper he saw now had no pattern on it, and there was no hole in the middle of the paper. The whole paper was flat.

He continued to chant the spell and pushed the paper forward with both hands. The paper flew above the three yellow incense sticks. The three incense sticks and the seven red candles were all extinguished in an instant.

Then, the paper flew back into Rao Yanqiao's hands.

Rao Yanqiao stopped chanting the spell, stood up, and said to the bearded man, "The ritual is completed. You can move freely." As he said that, he rolled the paper around the bamboo stick and put it in his bag.

The bearded man did not stand up immediately. He changed his posture and continued to sit on the boulder. He asked Rao Yanqiao, "Is the decadent spirit you mentioned no longer in my body?"

"Yes, it's gone." Rao Yanqiao replied. "Then have the wounds on my body caused by the decadent spirit healed?" the bearded man continued to ask.

"You will recover soon. You should not feel any obvious discomfort at the moment, right?" Rao Yanqiao said.

"What? Not fully recovered yet?! I paid you so much to cure my body, but you didn't just cure it completely!" The bearded man frowned. Although he didn't feel any obvious discomfort at the moment, and felt much better than before, he was still a little dissatisfied.

Rao Yanqiao quickly said: "I really tried my best!"

"Aren't you good at performing rituals? Is this your level? If I had asked another alchemist for help, would I have been cured by now?" said the bearded man.

Rao Yanqiao once again said that he had never heard of anyone other than him being able to cure Beard's symptoms. Then, he said, "From the time the ritual is completed, the parts of your body that were injured by the doomed energy will be healed in twelve hours."

"Twelve hours? So slow?" said the bearded man.

"It's fast enough. Generally speaking, after a body is injured by the deadly energy, the injured parts are difficult to recover. Today I am risking my life to perform a ritual for you to help your body recover. I can see the number of people whose life energy you have sucked away. With the current number of people, I can still do this for you. If there are four more people whose life energy you have sucked away before, even if I want to risk my life to perform a ritual, the injured parts of your body caused by the deadly energy will never recover!" Rao Yanqiao said.

The bearded man said, "Then you won't be able to recover?"

"Yes, this matter involving human life is not something I can do as I please," said Rao Yanqiao.

The bearded man asked, "After I recover, if I absorb the life energy of four more people, my body will be injured by the doomed energy again. Then these four people will not be counted together with the previous ones, right? Will the parts of my body that were injured by the doomed energy never recover because I absorbed the life energy of these four people?"
