Chapter 439 Ding Ning Treated His Grandma
Ding Ning thought to himself, “Perhaps, I should find some time to visit Grandma.”
He pondered for a moment and decided to visit his Grandma in two days.
“Anyway, Grandma used to be a warrior who had reached the Real Martial Arts Realm, so she must have had a deeper understanding of martial arts than me. Maybe she can answer the questions that I can’t figure out.” Ding Ning thought.
To save Ding Ning, his Grandma used up all her power and became a cripple since then, which made him very sorry all the time. Thus, he planned to check her body carefully to see if there was any way to repair the damage.
After all, as a Warrior, she suddenly lost the power that she had accumulated in the past decades. Even though she was disillusioned with the mortal world, this was not a light blow for ordinary people to bear. Otherwise, Zhai Fang would not risk his life to fight with Ding Ning after Ding Ning removed his cultivation.
Grandma’s present condition made Ding Ning feel very guilty. As a saying went, the grace of dripping water should be reciprocated by a gushing spring. Ding Ning thought that he was so ungrateful because he had never expressed thanks to his Grandma after she became a wreck.
“Tomorrow, I will put everything else aside and go to see her.”
Ding Ning secretly made up his mind. He went out of his room and told his plan to his sister, who just came back from her extra shift.
However, his sister acted very strangely. Her flushed face and bashful look made him feel quite puzzled.
But he didn’t think much about it. After saying hello to her, he went back to his room for he had been very busy recently. Now, he had to practice his external and internal circulation as well as the Sutra of Cultivating Spirit. In addition to that, he should learn the rune doctrine and Matrix Doctrine. Hence, he hardly had time to sleep.
Lucky to him, with the Sutra of Cultivating Spirit, it didn’t matter whether he could sleep or not. He would feel more energetic after practicing the Sutra of Cultivating Spirit through once than after sleeping a whole day.
In a daze, Ding Qianlie looked at his back with a touch of embarrassment on her beautiful face. Then she pouted and grumbled in a low voice, “B*stard! I’ve told you to practice with you at night. Now again, you pretended to be a fool who remembered nothing about that.”
Ding Ning was innocent because he totally forgot about this thing. Otherwise, he would never dare to refuse to practice with her sister because it was a significant thing for him.
Early the next morning, when Ding Ning woke up from his cultivation and went to have his breakfast, he found that his sister had gone to work already.
Ding Ning thought to himself, “Right. Yesterday, her company had successfully shown the effect of its product. And today, she should formally negotiate with the Zhongdong negotiation team. Besides, countless businesses are rushing to give Binghai Refrigeration their orders. Binghai Refrigeration amazed the world with a single brilliant feat and becomes the hottest cake in the global refrigeration industry. As the chairwoman of the group, how can she not be busy?”
After finishing her breakfast, Luoxue greeted Ding Ning and also went out in a hurry. She would go to do market research in all the major hotels to perfect her menu. Luoxue was enjoying her full and meaningful life now!
Ding Ning shook his head and smiled bitterly. Now, everyone around him was busy doing their business. They were all tied up, and only Ding Ning turned into an idler. Although he seemed to live in a relaxed and comfortable life, which was very consistent with his character, this was not a good thing. For Ding Ning, improving his strength as soon as possible was the most important thing.
At 9:30 in the morning, Ding Ning was standing quietly in front of the gate of Biyun Nunnery, waiting for his Grandma to invite him in.
A good-looking little nun hurriedly came in great haste. Smiling shyly at Ding Ning, she said, “Sir, Meditation Master invites you to go in. Follow me, please.”
“Thank you, little master.”
Ding Ning smiled and thanked her.
The nun’s pretty face turned red. Timidly, she led the way for Ding Ning in front, thinking, “This young man looks so pretty when he was smiling. He must have a special relationship with Meditation Master because she rarely receives guests.”
“Tock! Tock! Tock!” The nun knocked on the door.
The Renshou Nunnery was still simple and shabby. There was only a futon, a sandalwood table, and a cushion. Meditation Master slightly closed her eyes. Sitting cross-legged on the futon, she was beating the wooden fish while chanting scriptures.
Ding Ning slightly bowed to the little nun to thank her. After seeing her off, he gently closed the door and looked at his Grandma who was still beating the wooden fish, doing her routine work.
Meditation Master looked much older than she was the last time Ding Ning met her. Her face was full of wrinkles and age spots. It seemed that she had gradually become a torpor. Now that she was an old, lifeless woman who was at the end of her life.
This was all caused by Ding Ning, so how could he not feel guilty in his heart? His nose twitched and he almost burst into tears. Without making any noise to disturb her, he bent his knees and knelt down.
The sounds coming from the wooden fish suddenly stopped and slowly, Meditation Master opened her eyes. A ripple of emotion appeared in her calm eyes. She said bitterly, “Kid, why are you here again?”
“Grandma...”
Ding Ning choked with sobs and kowtowed three times in a row before getting up. While bowing his head with respect, he stood there and said, “I’m here to visit you.”
“You saw me now. Go back. Don’t ever come to me again. Don’t forget that I’m a nun already.”
Meditation Master said softly. She didn’t want to see anyone from the secular world. But after her daughter came to visit her last time, her heart was softened again. After all, she owed her daughter too much.
Now that her grandson was right before her. She’d be lying if she said that she remained untouched in her heart. “In the end, I cannot cut off my connection with this mortal world.” Meditation Master sighed secretly in her heart.
“Grandma, can I examine you?”
Ding Ning looked at Meditation Master and begged.
Meditation Master’s expression froze for a moment. Then she shook her head and said, “I’m not sick. I don’t need a doctor.”
“Grandma, you lost all your power to save me. I want to do something for you.”
Ding Ning looked at her stubbornly.
Meditation Master kept silent for a long time. When she saw that he was immovable, she sighed slightly and stretched out her hand, saying, “Well, since you want to check my health, just do it.”
Looking at her skinny wrist, Ding Ning felt sad again. He stretched out his hand and put it on her wrist, performing his Absolute Touch.
The longer Ding Ning felt her pulse, the more dignified he looked. His Grandma’s condition was awful. Her Dantian was now a ruin, her meridians withered, and her Qi and blood were on the decline. Her life was in danger, and she was actually dying.
Her condition gave Ding Ning a great shock. In general, losing all the strength would not be severe enough to endanger an Ancient Warrior’s life. “How can Grandma have so many severe problems? There must be a reason.” Ding Ning thought.
He closed his eyes and carefully looked for the reason. Seeing him act like this, Meditation Master looked a little surprised. She knew that her grandson had inherited from Chiyou, but she didn’t think he could cure her.
She had helped Ding Ning to open up his eight extra meridians when he just began to practice. As a real master in the Real Martial Arts Realm, she wouldn’t need to sacrifice her life though she had to pay a great price for that.
Her situation was mainly because she had fought with masters from the special departments when she was in Yan Jing. On the surface, they reached a draw. But in fact, she was not good at fighting, and her internal organs were injured a little.
At first, she could recover from these minor injuries in just a few days. But at that time, she was so frustrated that she chose to run far away to Ninghai and became a nun. She ran all the way wildly while trying to stop her wounds from deteriorating. Also, she was very depressed. Finally, her minor injuries turned into serious ones.
After she saw through the vanity of love and thought everything out, she turned to treat her wounds. However, her old injuries had become a rooted illness. If she hadn’t lost all her power, she would have been able to suppress her illness. Thus, she didn’t take her illness seriously at first.
But after all, she could not turn a blind eye to her dying grandson. To save him, she lost all her power. No longer being suppressed by her Spiritual Energy, the rooted illness occurred and became a deadly disease.
In these years, she had been used to live without any desire besides an oil lamp before the statue of Buddha. She left life and death out of consideration long ago. So even if she allowed Ding Ning to check her body, she held out no hope of her recovery.
“The disease seems to be serious, but in fact, it’s caused by old wounds. It can be cured,” Ding Ning said.
He was suddenly relieved after finding out the cause of her disease. On his face, a smile appeared.
“Can I be cured?” asked Meditation Master.
Meditation Master was a calm nun of strong will, but she still opened her mouth wide in shock when she heard Ding Ning’s words.
“Not only can you be cured, but also you can restore your power,” Ding Ning said.
While smiling, he nodded his head affirmatively and secretly felt lucky for this result.
Had it not for the Green Ivy Bead and the Spiritual Crystals of Water, he could not replenish her vitality that was greatly reduced after the wounds had tortured her for years. In that case, she could only survive for a few days, even if he had cured her disease.
But now, everything would be fine. Ding Ning was glad that he had come to see her. If he came a few days later, she would become incurably sick and exhaust all her vitality. At that time, even the almighty immortal could not save her.
Meditation Master’s heart trembled. She knew how serious her injuries were. If Ding Ning saved her, he would have to pay a high price—perhaps even some precious treasures. She felt that she didn’t deserve his help. Thus, she retracted her wrist and shook her head with resolution. “Forget it. Grandma is too old. I am not worth saving.”
“How can you not worth saving? You’re my Grandma.”
Ding Ning said, astounded. But immediately, he knew what she was thinking about, so he chuckled and said, “Grandma, sorry to offend you!”
“You...”
Meditation Master was about to say something, but suddenly, she blacked out.
Ding Ning smiled wryly and helplessly and told her, “I’m sorry, Grandma. In this treatment, I need you to cooperate with me fully. If you resist a little, all my efforts will be in vain.”
Although making her fainted was a little disrespectful, there was no better way. Thus, Ding Ning had to come up with this lousy idea.
After all, both the highest grade Spiritual Crystal of Water and the Green Ivy Bead could be regarded as priceless treasures. He knew very well what Grandma was thinking. First, there was nothing in this world that she felt attached to. Second, she didn’t want him to waste such precious treasures.
If she saw Ding Ning take out the Green Ivy Bead and the Spiritual Crystal of Water to save her during the treatment, she would undoubtedly refuse to use them. Then, all Ding Ning’s previous efforts would be wasted. Therefore, the best way was to knock her out and then cure her.
In Ding Ning’s heart, life was the most precious and priceless thing. As long as he could save Grandma’s life, it was nothing to use merely a Green Ivy Bead.
Ding Ning reached out and picked up his Grandma. He took out a Green Ivy Bead and carefully put it into her mouth. He activated his Absolute Touch. By using his True Qi, Ding Ning led the Green Ivy Bead and slipped it all the way to his Grandma’s Dantian.
From now on, this Green Ivy Bead would stay in Grandma’s Dantian. It could continuously absorb the vitality of the plants outside to replenish Grandma’s excessively drained vitality.
Later, Ding Ning used the Nine Ghosts and 13-needle Technique to treat Grandma’s stubborn disease, and then he consumed his Spiritual Energy to repair her wrinkled meridians and Dantian little by little to refresh them.
Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was already afternoon. Ding Ning’s face turned pale, and sweat broke out all over his body. However, he smiled happily.
Grandma’s injuries had been healed. The next step was to help her recover her power. He took out one Spiritual Crystal of Water at the highest grade and absorbed it’s Spiritual Energy continuously. The energy went through his body, which was used as a transfer station and entered Grandma’s body to nourish her meridians.
After a time, with a “click”, the highest grade Spiritual Crystal of Water turned into powder. Without the least hesitation, Ding Ning took out another one and continued to supply Grandma with Spiritual Energy.
At this moment, the small room of meditation was filled with dense Spiritual Energy of Water, all of which had turned into thick fog. It was caused by the outflow of the Spiritual Energy in the highest grade Spiritual Crystal of Water.
To be honest, Ding Ning’s healing method was extremely extravagant and wasted. Grandma could absorb and use only less than 30 percent of the Spiritual Energy in one Spiritual Crystal of Water at the highest grade, and the remaining 70 percent was wasted. After all, he had just reached the Earth Martial Arts Realm. He transferred the vast Spiritual Energy in the Spiritual Crystal of Water into Grandma’s body through him, and therefore the Spiritual Energy would inevitably overflow.
However, Ding Ning did not care. For him, no matter how precious the highest grade Spiritual Crystal of Water was, it was nothing but a worldly possession. It was far less important than his Grandma’s life and cultivation.
At the worst, when his Spiritual Crystal of Water was used up, he would go to kill those huge jellyfishes under the sea again. In his eyes, the world under the sea was like his private plot.
But it was a pity that the Mermaid Totem had not awakened yet. Without the protection of the bubbles that she blew, Ding Ning did not dare to dive into the deep sea. After all, even a strong practitioner in the God Martial Arts Realm might not be able to withstand the pressure there.
Night fell. After the second Spiritual Crystal of Water at the highest grade turned into powder, Ding Ning finally stopped the treatment. Looking at Grandma’s rosy cheek, he suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief.
It seemed that not only the Green Ivy Bead had begun to work, but also his Grandma instinctively began to absorb the Spiritual Energy on her own. Thus, it was only a matter of time for her to recover.
