Video - UN: peerless cucumber

[ Shen Qingqiu was glad in his 'event garb' and holding a fan that wasn't quite what he wanted, but beggars can't be choosers.

Still, despite everything being an aesthetic he wasn't that into, he managed to carry the aloof scholar image through it. Alas, it wasn't the best radical revolutionary impression he should be giving at the moment. But that was fine, this was for other concerns. ]

A quick question, before time goes by too much, is there anyone that... has a high amount of internal spiritual power, and... could theoretically push it through another? If you or anyone you know can do this, please respond.

[ He paused a moment as if another concern occurred to him. ]

A doctor or medical professional would also be appreciated.

No urgencies.

...

But more than a week will be an issue.

[ Shen Qingqiu wasn't timing him, so late or quick wasn't too much of a concern. For the most part, he was enjoying his fake identity and trying to indulge in as many creature comforts as he could, so sitting around reading and snacking was what he was focused on.

When the knock came he easily got up to answer it, assuming it was his pushy savior. His clothes too were of the city, with the addition of a fan that he had to settle for.

...

Why were they mad!? You put this on yourself not him!

...

Of course he didn't let on his inner thoughts, instead staying aloof and stepping to the side to let the other in.

Don't take it out on him, ok? He didn't ask you to come right now! You did it on your own!

Though he had to admit, the man was rather good looking on closer look. Cultivators no matter what were always going to be pretty and beautiful weren't they? ]

[He is very pretty...and also rather short by cultivator standards. He was closer to Shang Qinghua's height, though he stood very straight, as if his spine were made of a straight iron rod.

He walked in without anything further and as he passes, Shen Qingqiu might be able to catch the scent of haitang blossoms.]

Explain the reason why you need this.

[So he knows how to help! Not because he's angry though it would be easy to mistake it for that with the way he's looking right now and the clipped way he speaks.]

[ Head patting height....

No, not the right thing to think of right now.

An interesting individual nonetheless. but why do you sound like this? He didn't ask you to come! You invited yourself! Why should he explain!? ]

The qi flow is stagnated....

[Stagnated...

He considers asking the reason...but without understanding more about medicine he probably won't be much help.

So, his frown deepens for a moment then, without bothering to ask if they should sit down, he held out his hand.] Give me your hand then.

[And maybe once that's taken care of, he can ask more questions.]

[ Such a gruff person! It was one thing to be ordered around by your shidi....

Wait, no, that was definitely not supposed to be a thing.

He sighed and stretched his hand out somewhat like a protesting child with no choice. ]

[His frown deepened. What's with that sigh? If you didn't want his help then say so!

All the same, when he took that hand he did it gently, adjusting so their palms were aligned. He didn't specialize in healing but since once of his disciples did Chu Wanning made sure he knew a little of the theory and basics.

So he at least knew how to move his spirit energy into the other man's body to check the meridians first before gradually increasing the amount of energy he was pushing through.]

Is this a chronic condition? [Or is this a one time thing...?]

[ His meridians were in quite good shape, almost as if they had been completely rebuilt after being shattered! Though no fragility remained, they might even be in better shape than any normal person should, almost like someone went through extra care and five years of upgrades.

His spiritual flow had more or less stagnated at this point, when he had said a week might be too long, a few days might have been too long! ]

It is a chronic condition that flares up from time to time.

[ Usually when most inconvenient like fate was giving him a nerf for no good reason! ]

Usually my Shidi tends to it when it acts up like this.

[He can't tell, of course that the meridians had been rebuilt. What he can tell is that this person...is an idiot for saying this wasn't urgent. He can't say well enough how long this could have gone on with no problems but this sort of stagnant flow is definitely no good.]

I hope you weren't waiting for your shidi to appear at the right moment to get this fixed.

[Not urgent his ass!

Still, he patiently works at it. This amount of spiritual energy being expended isn't an insignificant amount but for Chu Wanning it wasn't a problem. Though if he were stuck as Xia Sini it might be.]

How often does this happen?

Of course not. But, a lot of things were going on when I arrived and it started acting up.

[ Did he sound a bit defensive? A little, ok maybe a lot. Give him a break! He didn't get to arrive in the best of situations. ]

Not too often... perhaps once every so many months, perhaps once a week....

[ Really he did feel like it was just, will this moment screw you? Enjoy without a cure! ]

[He might have given you a break if you weren't still insisting it wasn't urgent!

So he only gave you a long, unimpressed look at that defense.]

Then it can happen unexpectedly?

[That doesn't sound good...

Thinking that, he couldn't help but be concerned.]

[ It made him feel better if he pretended it wasn't a big deal. It wasn't as if panicking about it would change anything.

To the question he nodded slowly. Unpredictable at any time. ]

Bit too frequently.

Tch.

[As he continues he wonders what the solution to this could be? Without deeper knowledge of the healing arts he can't deal with the root of the problem. But if the symptoms can be eased with spiritual energy perhaps there's something he can do.

It was a problem to think about later.

When he's finished he pulls back, still frowning, bu, instead of dropping his hand, he turned it so it was palm up. Then a small haitang blossom bloomed in his hand, as if formed from golden light. It is, of course, made of spiritual energy.]

This is a messenger haitang. If you pull out the pistil after giving it a message it will carry it to the person you want. In an emergency, you can use it to find me.

[He says like he's still made about the whole state of affairs.]

[ He was quite impressed, that was the sort of citation that should be expected! That showy sort of thing that can be given as a calling card!

He wanted to be able to do something as cool.

He took it graciously, even if it felt like a gift made out of anger. ]

This master is most appreciative.

[ This man! He must hug his thighs! ]

[All you have to do is ask and he'd teach you.

He looked surprised to be thanked before he turned his head.]

We're all supposed to be working together, isn't that correct? Then it would be troublesome if something happened to you.

[He's not embarrassed to be thanked! That isn't what this is.]

If you end up using it to contact someone else just let me know and I'll give you another one.

[ Somewhere deep inside himself, he had the strongest urge to tease this man and never stop. ]

Of course, if this one had something likewise to give, he would exchange it as well. Though, without a sword perhaps there is not much aid to give if needed.

There's no need.

[He was still looking away and looking a little uncomfortable with the conversation. People don't usually offer him anything in return except, occasionally, payment if it's a job. Even then, the money is usually for the sect.

Though he does look back with a small frown.]

Did you not come here with your sword?

My sword was not with this body, so when I arrived here I only had what was on this person.

[ Luo Binghe no doubt had his sword with him, and might be frantically looking.... But that was another world and there was nothing to be done about it. ]

[That's unfortunate. He was sort of hoping to find someone new to spar...not that he would spar with Huaisha anyway, so they were sort of in the same boat.]

Are there no blacksmiths in this place?

That can make a spiritual sword? I have yet to ask, but I am doubtful.

[ He might as well just use the fan once his meridians were clear than some sort of broadsword or rapier. ]

A spiritual sword? Like a divine weapon?

[He's a little confused here.]

Divine seems a bit more.... This is a sword that has qi and is linked to the user. Sure you can always find substitute or rental ones for basic use, but there is something special about your personal sword, that chooses you, and grows with you.

That sounds like a divine weapon that could be found from Jincheng Lake.

[He sounds grumpy but there's noticeable interest in his eyes. This sort of weapon...if he could find something like it for Xue Meng...]

Though those are not usually available for...renting. [He sounds a little unsure about, what? Rental swords? Weird.]

It's not anything so mysterious and magical. They're simply pulled out of the mountain at Wan Jian Peak, where the best smiths cultivate and reside....

[ Though it is kind of curious they just make swords all the time and randomly and stick, them in the mountain till someone can pull it out. Maybe there was something more to it?

Ha ha ha! Airplane definitely didn't think too hard and just thought it seemed cool. ]

What makes those swords special? Are they weapons that can only be found at this Wan Jian Peak?

[For the first time he's starting to actually doesn't seem to be mad. Weapons are a topic he could talk about at any time and any day...but more importantly, he's still looking for something for Xue Meng.

But it's not like his expression is overtly excited but there's definitely something like anticipation in his eyes.]

They are definitely weapons that can only be found there, and can only be weirded by members of Cang Qiong Mountain sect. Deciples who are ready for a proper sword of their own go there to find their personal sword. The one right for then they will be able to pull out easily.

[ Shen Qingqiu wasn't particularly more animated, but there was a bit of a hint of someone talking about a favored subject. Not because he particularly cared about weapons, but because he was sharing Lore. ]
