The Ethereal Domains

Chapter 68: The Golden Mai Palm!

The Golden Mai Palm! . . .

Indeed, what Cha-Eun Xiao had witnessed was nothing short of astonishing. The sight of golden purple blood, coupled with the name "Golden Mai Palm," sent shivers down his spine. Memories from his previous life rushed back, and he couldn't help but recall the terrifying techniques of the Zi-Yang Mount, a faction that had pursued him relentlessly.

In his previous life, the Golden Mai Palm had been a formidable weapon of destruction, a technique that had struck fear into the hearts of those who faced it. It wasn't just about the physical damage it inflicted, but the insidious way it infected the victim's body, slowly turning their organs into solid gold. It was a technique that spelled certain doom for anyone unfortunate enough to be struck by it.

Yet here was Steward Song, living proof that survival against such odds was possible. It was a testament to his resilience and the measures he had taken to stave off the effects of the Golden Mai Palm. Cha-Eun Xiao couldn't help but admire the man's strength and determination.

However, the revelation of Steward Song's condition brought with it a sense of urgency. It was clear that the steward's cultivation was rapidly deteriorating, and the excessive drinking tonight had only accelerated the process. It was a dangerous gamble with his life, one that Cha-Eun Xiao had unwittingly facilitated.

With a heavy heart, Cha-Eun Xiao decided to take his leave, citing fatigue as an excuse. He couldn't bear to watch the steward's condition worsen any further, and he hoped that Steward Song would find some respite in his absence.

As he left the room, Cha-Eun Xiao couldn't shake the feeling of responsibility for what had transpired. He knew that he needed to find a way to help the steward, to seek out the antidote or medicine that could slow down the Golden Mai Palm's effects. It was a daunting task, but he couldn't stand idly by while someone who had become like family suffered.

The night was quiet as Cha-Eun Xiao retreated to his own room, his mind racing with thoughts of how to uncover the antidote's whereabouts. He couldn't help but feel a growing determination to unravel the mysteries that surrounded Steward Song and his family, all while ensuring that his newfound family member would live to see another day.

Little did he know that the night held one more surprise, as an unexpected intruder entered Steward Song's room, setting the stage for a new twist in their unfolding story.

Indeed, Cha-Eun Xiao stood by the unconscious Steward Song, facing a challenging predicament. The Golden Mai Palm, a deadly technique that had terrorized many, had left its malicious mark on the steward. Despite his newfound cultivation skills and knowledge, he was aware that he couldn't fully cure Steward Song of this ailment, at least not with the resources available in this realm.

His thoughts raced as he contemplated the best course of action. He had already administered a Pei-Yuan Dan Bead, a gesture of goodwill to temporarily alleviate the steward's suffering. But time was of the essence, and Cha-Eun Xiao knew he needed a more long-term solution.

"I have to find a way to obtain the antidote or the rare ingredients required to counter the Golden Mai Palm," he muttered to himself, his brows furrowed in determination.

The Golden Mai Palm was not just a physical affliction; it was a curse that infected the body on a deeper, metaphysical level. Breaking down the golden material within Steward Song's body and preventing further damage to his organs required more than just basic medical knowledge—it required access to unique resources and remedies.

In his previous life, Cha-Eun Xiao had learned the secrets of this devastating technique. He had exposed the Zi-Yang Mount's vulnerabilities and rattled their dominance. Now, he hoped to use that knowledge for a noble purpose—to save the life of the man who had become like family to him.

As he continued to channel his energy, attempting to draw out the scorching power of the Golden Mai Palm, he realized that he had cultivated his own strength to level 3 of the Grade of Diyuan. It was a testament to his determination and the rapid progress he had made since his rebirth. However, even at this level, it would be a monumental task to completely neutralize the Golden Mai Palm's effects.

Nonetheless, Cha-Eun Xiao was not one to back down from a challenge. He was driven by a deep sense of responsibility and a growing bond with Steward Song, whom he now considered a true family member. His determination to save the steward's life burned brightly.

With a steady hand and unwavering focus, he continued his efforts to ease Steward Song's suffering and buy them precious time to uncover a way to counter the deadly technique that threatened the steward's existence. The night was far from over, and their journey to unravel the mysteries of the Golden Mai Palm had only just begun.

Cha-Eun Xiao had unraveled one of the most profound secrets surrounding the Golden Mai Palm. It was not a technique of gold attribute but rather fire attribute, and the golden material was a result of the technique's power burning the Jing and Mai, transforming the victim's blood, vigor, and cultivation into its own motive power. Understanding this crucial distinction allowed Cha-Eun Xiao to devise a more effective method for dealing with the Golden Mai Palm.

His previous life had provided him with invaluable experience, especially when he had been struck by the Golden Mai Palm himself. Through sheer determination and the power of the Pure Yang Martial Art, he had discovered that his martial arts could assimilate the Golden Mai Palm's power. This revelation had changed everything. With the knowledge that the Golden Mai Palm was fire attribute, he had found the key to combating it.

Now, in his current weakened state, Cha-Eun Xiao knew that he couldn't fully cure Steward Song's ailment, but he had a newfound confidence in his approach. Ice and fire, two opposing forces, were the most effective treatment for the Golden Mai Palm. They complemented each other perfectly, with one absorbing and the other digesting the palm's power.

With cautious precision, Cha-Eun Xiao began absorbing a small amount of the Golden Mai Palm's power into his own scorching power, one of his two extreme forces. The process was smoother than he had anticipated, as if the Golden Mai Palm's power was insignificant compared to his own. This discovery filled him with excitement.

As the night passed and dawn approached, Cha-Eun Xiao continued the absorption process, knowing that the power within Steward Song's organs and dantian would remain beyond his reach. He used one of his precious Bone Ablutionary Dan Beads to fortify the steward's condition further. By morning, he had successfully suppressed the elementary power of the Golden Mai Palm deep within Steward Song's dantian, ensuring that the injury would no longer deteriorate.

This outcome was beyond his expectations. Although he hadn't completely cured Steward Song, he had provided a long-term solution that would prevent further harm. The steward's life was no longer hanging in the balance, and Cha-Eun Xiao couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment.

With a silent departure, he left the steward to rest, knowing that he had made a significant difference in the steward's life. The mysteries of the Golden Mai Palm were slowly unraveling, and Cha-Eun Xiao's determination to protect those he cared about burned brighter than ever.
