The wound on Master's chest was rather large and still bleeding.
I needed to apply Black Medicine and temporarily stitch it shut with a suture needle to reduce the bleeding.
Once the bleeding stopped, I would bandage it. Then he could have it disinfected again and properly sutured at the hospital...
With my background in surgery, I worked deftly, though not particularly quickly.
By the time I finished bandaging Master, more than ten minutes had passed.
It was then that I realized Pan Ling had actually broken through.

No wonder Master had called it a "blessing."
"Xiao Jiang, hurry up and regulate your breathing too. Once this wisp of energy disperses, the blessing will be gone."
Master spoke again. Though he was very weak, he seemed to be doing all right.

Almost as soon as I guided it, the energy inside me began surging toward my Vitality Soul chakra.
The surge was tremendous, making the blood vessels all over my body
