Subsequently, she led An Mingji to the bedside and looked at the elderly man lying there. She asked the boy beside her, "Xiao An, can you tell what’s wrong with him?"
An Mingji focused his gaze on the old master Jiang lying on the bed. The man’s face was lifeless; other than appearing close to death, nothing else seed apparent.
He gently shook his head and calmly said, "I can’t see anything; he seems close to death."
Gu Jin patted his shoulder and called back to Yu Shuo, "Co over here."
The latter imdiately jogged over from the doorway.
"What’s up, Master?"
Gu Jin pointed to the elder Jiang and asked, "Do you see any issues with him?"
Yu Shuo looked at the elder master Jiang lying on the bed, whose breathing was gradually weakening. He shook his head lightly after observing for a while, "I can’t see anything wrong."
Neither of them could see anything off about the old master, nor the Evil Qi surrounding him.
Gu Jin confird once again that those with low cultivation levels couldn’t perceive these things. She reached for the jade stone in elder Jiang’s hand, intending to take it.
However, the man’s grip was firm; she had to use so force to pry open his hand and retrieve the jade stone full of Evil Qi.
The mont the jade stone left elder Jiang’s palm, a large portion of the dark Evil Qi surrounding him dissipated, yet quite a bit remained within his body.
Gu Jin lowered her gaze, examining the jade stone in her hand.
The white jade had a beautiful luster; it was round and smooth, very tactile.
Unfortunately, it was a jade stone overflowing with harmful Evil Qi to the human body, and wearing it for long could lead to sudden death.
She casually placed the jade stone on the bedside table and instructed Qiu Qianghai and Yu Shuo, "Help the old man sit up."
"He has no consciousness at all. How can we make him sit?" Qiu Qianghai felt a bit troubled.
However, he didn’t hesitate in action. He went over to elder Jiang and helped his sowhat heavy body sit up, while Yu Shuo stepped in to assist.
"As long as he stays sitting, facing away from the bed and closer to —"
Gu Jin directed Qiu Qianghai and Yu Shuo to move the old master’s body.
When elder Jiang’s back faced Gu Jin, she called for a stop, "Hold him steady, don’t move."
While supporting the old man, Yu Shuo asked his question with curiosity, "Master, what happened to Grandpa Jiang? Why did he vomit blood and beco like this?"
"Oh, it’s because of it."
Gu Jin gestured towards the beautiful jade stone on the bedside table with a nod of her chin.
Following her motion, Yu Shuo saw the jade stone with a beautiful luster that looked extrely valuable.
He didn’t understand why a jade stone could cost elder Jiang half his life.
He turned back, just about to ask again, when he saw Gu Jin placing both hands on elder Jiang’s back, imbued with rich Spiritual Power.
The Spiritual Power stread into the old man’s body, eventually rging into his flesh and disappearing.
Yu Shuo’s slightly open mouth slowly closed.
Next to him, Qiu Qianghai, an ordinary person, couldn’t understand what Gu Jin was doing.
Though, no matter how you looked at it, it resembled the scene in TV dramas like "The Legend of the Condor Heroes," where the heroine heals the hero.
Unsurprisingly, his admiration for Gu Jin rose once more.
You could say that Gu Jin in his eyes had been deified, practically omnipotent.
An Mingji stood at the side, his eyes fixed on Gu Jin’s hands transferring Spiritual Power, his expression shifting from dark to light, with a strong desire to grow more powerful flashing in his pupils.
The room was very quiet, even the breathing of the people inside gradually softened.
Old master Jiang’s complexion slowly regained so color, his face wasn’t as pale, and the deathly aura was gradually fading away.
