Chapter 259: Neither Just nor Evil (Combined Chapter)
Liu Yu's eyes regained their calmness as he carefully examined the newly born creature.
The newborn baby had wrinkled skin and an appearance that was quite ordinary, covered in amniotic fluid and placenta, emanating an unpleasant odor.
It needed to be cleaned and grow a bit before its features would unfold.
It? No, he.
His weight was less than six pounds, appearing somewhat frail, standing just over a foot tall, smaller than a house cat.
In such a harsh environment, even though his life force was relatively tenacious, the vitality within him was gradually weakening, with his breathing and heartbeat becoming increasingly faint.
If left unattended, it would not be long before he succumbed to death.
However, this little guy was fortunate.
Thus, he wouldn't have to face death soon, nor would he meet an end right at the beginning of his life.
For the sake of achieving his goals, Liu Yu had no qualms about using mostly righteous or wicked means, nor was he ever reluctant to kill; one could say he could kill without blinking.
But that was only the case when it involved personal interests; normally, he wouldn’t indiscriminately slaughter or take pleasure in killing.
Even in situations where there was no personal interest, he wouldn’t necessarily be willing to help other cultivators or mortals.
Every world has its own hue; regardless of how one arrives, living in that world inevitably leads to being stained by its colors.
However, after completing a satisfying revenge, he did not wish for this newly born life to vanish just like that.
Liu Yu extended his palm, ignoring the dirt and filth, and gently peeled away the placenta from his body.
Then, disregarding the amniotic fluid on the surface, he softly placed his palm on the baby's chest.
The magical power within his dantian circulated, converging in his palm before transforming into pure wood attribute spiritual power, which was slowly infused into the baby's frail body.
Qingyang skill was inherently a dual attribute cultivation technique of fire and wood; although it was not a purely wood attribute technique, converting it to wood attribute spiritual power was quite simple.
Liu Yu meticulously manipulated several strands of wood attribute spiritual power, distributing them throughout the baby's body, with a focus on protecting the heart channels and the internal organs.
Then he withdrew his hand from the baby's body, completing the healing process.
In Liu Yu's keen spiritual perception, he could feel the vitality within no longer dissipating, and the heart and breathing gradually became stable and strong.
Among all the spiritual energies, wood attribute was the most gentle; in a certain sense, the vitality it contained was also the most vigorous and easier to absorb and refine.
These strands of wood attribute spiritual power, having been specially treated by Liu Yu, were in a very gentle state, allowing even a newborn baby to absorb them without issue.
Spiritual power was a great supplement for mortals, and these strands of wood attribute spiritual power would gradually be absorbed by the baby, slowly enhancing his constitution.
For this little guy, it could be considered a blessing in disguise; if he didn't unexpectedly die young, he would naturally be a material for martial arts, living longer than an ordinary mortal with minimal disease.
Looking at the amniotic fluid on the baby's surface, Liu Yu frowned slightly.
He then took out a large piece of thin blue brocade from his storage bag, tore off a small piece, and used magical power to condense a stream of water to dampen it before carefully wiping the baby's body.
In no time, he had wiped it clean, revealing a small, white, slightly wrinkled creature, which he then wrapped up in the blue brocade.
At this point, the little guy had successfully escaped the danger of death, fulfilling the promise of saving him.
Looking at the baby's tightly closed eyes, Liu Yu revealed a slight smile.
