Walker Of The Worlds-Chapter 1840 Healing Offer

With the rewards being distributed, Lin Mu's companions were satisfied and pleased that they had all come together.

They also had a certain level of doubt whether they would be able to obtain this, and now that they had, they were feeling relieved too.

"You all can go on ahead, I still have a few things to talk about with Crown Prince." Lin Mu said to his companions.

Lu Xu raised his brows and grasped that Lin Mu wished to have some privacy here.

"Very well, Brother. We'll leave for now." Lu Xu replied.

"Contact us when you're done." Ming Aolian chimed in.

"Yeah, we'll be waiting for you to recover." Luo Liqin stated. "I'll handle the rest of the things in the meantime." He added.

"You all can stay in the rooms here." Crown Prince Feng Shun stated. "The city will be in a state of lock down soon enough, thus it is best you don't wander outside." He explained.

"That will be convenient." Lu Xu didn't mind and went along with it.

"Take them to their rooms," Crown Prince Feng Shun called for a servant who quickly guided them away.

With them gone, the door to the hall closed once more, leaving Lin Mu, Crown Prince and his associates.

"Do you finally wish to talk about your reward?" Crown Prince questioned seeing the way he had asked others to leave first.

"Yes," Lin Mu answered. "I need something to heal my injuries fast." He put forth.

Hearing that both Crown Prince Feng Shun and Crown Princess Shang became serious.

"I didn't get to learn further details, but I can't sense any injuries from the surface." Crown Princess Feng said while extending his Immortal sense.

Lin Mu let the man check his body, knowing that the damage wasn't as easy to tell. Crown Prince went silent for a couple of minutes as he assessed the damage before speaking.

"Now I understand why you didn't ask the Healing Pavilion for help." Crown Prince sighed.

Normally contestants would get healed by the Healing Pavilion, but the injuries that were given by the Slate Grey energy weren't as easy to fix. They were one's that would take time to heal, rather than a strong healing pill.

Plus there was also the burden on the Healing Pavilion already due to the collateral damage to the audience that was watching the fight. Hundreds of people including elders had been injured in it, and they were in a far worse condition than Lin Mu.

As such, even though they had the obligation to help Lin Mu, he also knew that it would not be quick. They had their own constraints which normally wouldn't be there.

But it was a freaky situation and as such he couldn't blame them.

"My injuries were caused due to the Withering Dao, they won't be healed quickly through the use of the healing pills." Lin Mu stated.

It was now that Crown Princess Shang spoke up, "since you've been injured due to our request, I shall also shoulder the burden of getting you healed. As a Crown Princess, it would be wrong of me to use the reward for your healing request." She stated surprising Lin Mu.

"What do you wish to do then?" Lin Mu asked.

"We shall heal you regardless of the reward. You can still ask for something else." Crown Princess Shang answered making Lin Mu stunned.

"This… you do know this won't be easy to heal in a short time?" Lin Mu asked just in case.

"That is something for us to figure out. We've given you our word and we shall follow through on that." Crown Princess Shang said with a hint of dignity in her voice.

Pleasantly surprised by all this, Lin Mu realized that it was a good decision in the first place.

"So do you know how to heal this?" Lin Mu asked.

"I've heard about the Withering Dao before and its decaying effects that can taint others. Your body managed to resist it due to the overwhelming vitality and as such it didn't harm you permanently.

The damage for your body merely needs time to recover naturally. But this process can take weeks if not months, and healing pills are not good for this as they cannot help against Dao Traces." Crown Prince Feng Shun explained.

Lin Mu heard his words and wasn't discouraged, as he didn't think they would say all this without having a potential solution.

"But… We do have a fix for this." Crown Prince finally said making Lin Mu's ears perk up. "One of the methods of healing damage dealt due to Dao Traces is to use other Dao Traces that can counteract it." He revealed.

"That does make sense… but it would also need good control and suitable Dao Traces." Lin Mu replied.

"Which we do have," Crown Prince Feng Shun looked at the princess. "Crown Princess Shang is proficient in Wood Dao and should be able to help you."

"Yes, I can assist." The woman nodded. "I made the bracelet that could target the Withering Dao of Yao Changying after all. It should work on you too." She spoke.

"But that won't be enough." Much to everyone's surprise it was the silent monk that spoke.

"Huh?" Lin Mu looked at the bald man who had opened his eyes and was looking at them. "The Withering Dao is a stubborn one and corrupts others easily. Just Wood Dao won't be enough if we want to do this fast." He explained.

"Do you have a suggestion then Monk Hushu?" Crown Princess Shang asked.

"I do," the monk said standing up. "If you wish to heal damage from something foul like the Withering Dao, a pleasant Dao like the Buddhist Dao shall be needed. That combined with your Wood Dao will be an effective counter." He explained.

Hearing this, Lin Mu raised his brows, as he was able to use the Calming Heart Sutra.

The surprise on Lin Mu's face was picked up by the monk and he already knew that the injured man had questions in his mind.

"I've sensed that you have a great affinity to the Buddhist Dao. In fact, you might have a great chance of embarking upon the Buddhist path if you wish to." Monk Hushu stated, not knowing that Lin Mu already had a skill that belonged to the Buddhist Path.

Of course, Lin Mu didn't reveal that right away and waited for the man to finish up.

"You want to use a Buddhist healing technique?" Crown Princess Shang asked. "But you aren't versed in them, if I recall correctly."

"Indeed, are you confident in this?" Crown Prince Feng Shun knew that Monk Hushu wasn't a man to take risks.

If he had said something, it likely meant that he had great confidence.

"I just so happen to have a skill that would work if I combine my strengths with Crown Princess Shang's." Monk Hushu replied. "It is the Serene Lotus Buddha Veil."

"What's that?" This was first time that Lin Mu was hearing this.

While he knew of a few Buddhist techniques from the memoirs of the Lost immortal and Senior Xukong, he hadn't heard about this name yet.

"It is a healing Buddhist technique that utilizes both the Buddhist Dao as well as the Wood Dao. I cannot use it on my own of course, but Crown Princess Shang's help should make it work." Monk Hushu explained.

"Hmm… if you think it can work, then we can try." Crown Prince Feng Shun said looking at Lin Mu for approval.

"I'm fine with it." Lin Mu was ready.

"Very well, let's get to it right away then." Monk Hushu said before walking up to Lin Mu. "You need to sit down first."

"Alright." Lin Mu sat on the floor in a cross legged position and Monk Hushu sat in front of him.

"Crown Princess, you will have to channel Wood Elemental qi and Wood Dao Traces when I ask you to. You can sit facing his back." Monk Hushu instructed.

"Okay," The Crown Princess did as asked, and waited for further instructions.

"What do I do?" Lin Mu asked wondering if he needed to assist them too.

"You just need to guide my technique's energy to your injured spots. Do not resist or it could lead to a backlash." Monk Hushu replied.

"I understand," Lin Mu said and closed his eyes putting his palms on his thighs.

"I'll start," Monk Hushu said before making a few handseals.

The handseals created glowing illusory images in the air, before Monk Hushu extended his hands towards Lin Mu. He placed them on Lin Mu's chest and started to use the Serene Lotus Buddhist Veil.

~HULAS

The Buddhist technique showed a rather vibrate display of lights, as strings of yellow and golden light floated around monk Hushu.

Lin Mu felt the effects within his body, as a soothing energy appeared within it. The energy felt familial to Lin Mu and his body accepted it readily.

'So this is what true Buddhist energies are like?' Lin Mu realized.
