"Can you tell me when exactly this began? Was this recent?" Elder Neal asked.
"I don't really know. I saw that it had turned this color only today while I was bathing myself. So I hurried here," she said.
"Hmm… did you eat anything, touch anything, or anything weird happened recently?" Elder Neal asked.
"N-No, nothing of that sort. Is— Am I not treatable, doctor?" she asked worriedly.
"I don—"
"It's treatable," Ning said from the side.
Elder Neal looked angrily after being cut off mid-sentence. "Attendant Ning, please don't talk while I am talking to the patient.
"Okay, Elder Neal," Ning said.
"Yeah, like I was saying, I don—"
"I can be treated?" the woman said with an excited face. She was preparing herself for the worst news possible, and somehow, she got very good news.
Elder Neal got angry once more for being cut off, but let it be since it was the patient. He instead turned towards Ning and asked, "You said she can be healed right? Tell me, how it can be done?"
"Sure, Elder Neal," he said.
"Lady, can you cultivate right now? Please expose your stomach while you do so. We will need to see," he said.
"Cultivate here?" the woman wasn't ready for such a request.
"Yes, please. It's to see if our hypothesis is correct or not," Ning said.
"O-Okay then," the lady said and sat down on the ground and started cultivating. For the first few minutes, nothing happened and Elder Neal even wanted to stop her.
But soon, he saw that there was a dark spot appearing around her stomach that was previously untainted.
"What the… " Elder Neal got out of his seat and went closer to check. "It really is her cultivation technique. Lady stop," he said.
The lady stopped cultivating and asked, "it's my cultivation? Do you know how to fix it now?" she asked.
"This…" Elder Neal still wasn't sure.
"Yes, we do, Miss," Ning said and walked up to her. "I will place my hands on your stomach and treat you now, please prepare yourself," Ning said.
"Huh? You will? Not the doctor?" She asked in surprise.
"Attendant Ning, what are you doing?" Elder Neal asked.
Ning didn't bother with Elder Neal and simply asked the woman, "Who suggested the idea for you to cultivate so we could see?" Ning asked.
"Oh right, you did. Alright then, please heal me," she said.
"Alright, you will hear some loud sound, so prepare yourself," Ning said.
The girl nodded and closed her eyes. Ning placed his hands on the lady's stomach and began the treatment. He used Yin to Sound conversion technique.
A small buzz appeared from where he touched the lady. The buzz soon turned to a small hum, which started to accumulate and get louder.
By the end, it was so uncomfortable that both the lady and the Elder had to close their ears. Ning couldn't do that right now, but fortunately, his body was strong enough to endure such a loud sound.
However, even then, his mind wasn't doing so great. He was starting to get a light headache that was annoying him.
'Damn, just how much Yin Qi did this lady gather?' he thought. For some reason, the Yin Qi was leaving her body very slowly. The previous times he used this technique, all the Yin Qi in the surrounding would gather to his arm within seconds.
Yet, now it was taking more than a few minutes for all the Yin Qi to leave.
Elder Neal was looking at the whole procedure from start to finish and was surprised that she was actually getting healed.
At first, he wondered what the young man was doing after hearing the small buzz, but soon he noticed that the black spot on the lady's stomach was disappearing.
It started off very slow, but by the end, it was leaving her body at an extraordinary rate.
'Just what is this young man doing that is healing her. Did I miss some obvious information? Have I gotten so old that I don't even know what the problem is anymore?' Elder Neal started questioning his own knowledge.
Finally, the black spots were all gone. The intensely loud sound was still there but that didn't stop the woman from nearly crying in happiness.
Ning slowly stood up and backed away to the corner of the room. Yin To Sound conversion technique only converted the Yin Qi to sound energy for the duration of the technique.
If he managed to collect the sound energy during that time, it would disappear, however, if he didn't absorb it all and stopped the technique, then it would immediately turn back to Yin Qi.
And he couldn't let that happen near the lady. After walking far enough, he stopped using the technique. Immediately Ning stopped the technique and let the sound turn back to Yin, as he sighed in relief for a task well done.
However, when he saw that the Yin Qi didn't scatter away like usual and instead made a visible blackish-blue color in the air, he frowned.
'What's going o—'
Before he could even think anything, the blackish-blue floating Qi suddenly attacked the closest body they found, Ning.
They attacked Ning's right arm which was floating in the mid-air and started hurting him.
"Ahh," he grunted as the pain started hitting him. His body was strong enough to be fine at that level of pain, but it still hurt him.
'What's going on? This is not normal Yin Qi. What is this?' he thought. The Yin Qi started destroying his arm, and it hurt him a lot, but Ning wasn't going to let them do that any longer.
He immediately started Yin To sound once more to pull out the Yin Qi. As expected, they left his body and got turned to sound. The rate was still slow, but it was much faster than when he did it with the woman.
But that was only a temporary option, he needed a permanent one.
So, he started dancing.
