Veena sighed at Shamiran's question it had been a few hours since the successful operation of Ryuu and now Shamiran's question caused others to look at her questioningly, "It is as you said there are various medicinal plants and herbs from which life saving medicines could be created but unfortunately Ryuu's condition prevented it from any form of medicine to be useful."
Maheswara frowned at that as he queried of his wife, "What do you mean by that?"
Veena: "There are several reasons which forced my hand to use such archaic methods. Firstly, during his fight Ryuu had consumed various amounts of pills like 'blood formation pills', 'bone mending pills' as well as a few anti venoms, but he was exposed to large amount of death KI as well as 'Corpse Corrosion Poisons'. When it all mixed together it created a very lethal c.o.c.ktail which had tainted not only his bloods but even his cells and organs, because of them even if I gave any medicinal pills it increased the toxicity as more tainted blood was being created and the best part his body itself treated the toxicity as something helpful causing it to be harmed greatly, but I still gave him some blood formation pills, he was bleeding so much that it was required."
At that everyone frowned hard, it was incredible difficult to remove something which the body itself dims as help full while in reality it is harmful is difficult, but not impossible for someone of Veena's skill.
"Secondly, his spirit veins are damaged, whether it is branches or stems, it is damaged and you all know for a medicinal pills to work a we need a working spirit vein system, this also links to my third reason if I used my KI to heal Ryuu, there was chance of not only crippling him but causing the vein to burst causing even more fatal damage to him and as for the fourth reason his soul is damaged."
Nuwa shouted out in disbelief, "What? How did his soul get damaged?"
Veena shrugged as she spoke, "I believe one of his enemies used soul based attacks on him causing his soul to get damage, normally I would have extracted his soul then operated on his body before putting it back but it was damaged and could not dare to help him, and I doubt even with your help it would be difficult to help him."
Celestia sighed as she rubbed her face in exasperation, "Leave it to me I will heal his soul and for other injuries how long will it take."
Veena: "Well the spirit veins need to be healed first and foremost for safely using the pills, if I take account to the therapies and what not it would be within a couple of months for him to heal properly but during the time he is not allowed to use KI at all."
Maheswara stood up as he spoke, "Well then let him rest so many people crowding inside his room is not well, we will take turns to keep an eye on him, Nuwa would you take the first watch."
Nuwa nodded at that as the others left her alone with Ryuu who was covered from head to toe in bandages.
Antariskh spoke with her voice laced with anger, "Father, the people who had attacked Ryuu where are they?"
Maheswara: "Well there being held inside the prison."
As he spoke many from his family gained a dark look on their face as Celestia spoke with a s.a.d.i.s.tic glee, "Daughters it has been a while since we had a mother daughter bonding time would you mind accompanying me to the dungeon."
Shamiran brightened up at that as she spoke, "It really has been a long time since we had a mother daughter bonding time."
Anatriskh: "3rd mother it seems I have been frustrated a lot lately I wish for some method to unwind."
Celestia giggled as she spoke, "My cute daughter do not get your hopes up at the end of the day they are weak so weak I doubt they could even stay alive if you let all of your KI out."
It had been a few days since the incident, and Ryuu had still to wake up, and his teachers and his older sisters were all anxious, currently Antariskh was keeping an eye on him, she did not like how feeble her brother looked.
Suddenly a low painful moan entered her ears along with a very low voice asking for water. She sprung on her feet as she looked at Ryuu who was asking for water, she quickly brought a gla.s.s of water to his lips as she helped Ryuu to drink it.
As the cool water hit his parched lips and calmed his hoa.r.s.e throat Ryuu opened his eyes groggily as he was greeted by the sight of his older sister looking down at him with a smile as she caressed his hair gently.
Antariskh: "Welcome back baby brother, did you have a nice nap."
Ryuu spoke in a hoa.r.s.e voice, "It is good to be back big sister. How long was I sleeping?"
Anatriskh: "You have been sleeping for 5 whole days, brother."
Ryuu: "Ouch, it hurts a lot."
Anatriskh looked at him with concern in her eyes, "I have already called first mother she will be here soon, and you took quite the beating brother."
Ryuu gave a weak smile as he spoke, "Yup my opponent was highly dangerous, I had killed four out of 5 enemies but the last one was not only peak Immortal but also controlling large number of Jiangs.h.i.+s, she was using them to kill me, and I believe she nearly succeeded if it were not for her overconfidence I would be dead."
Before Antariskh could speak anymore, the rest of her family arrived as they stood beside Ryuu.
Veena: "Ryuu how are you feeling right now.", worry evident in her tone.
Ryuu gave a strained smile as he spoke, "My body is aching horribly as well as some parts of my skin is itching very bad."
Veena: "Well that is because your wounds are healing as such it is causing some itch and as for the pain I will give you some pain killers."
Ryuu suddenly remembered something as he asked with a frown, "How did I get here?"
Nuwa: "The words about the demonic cultivators spread outside and one of our men informed us about it, you were rescued soon after in not so ideal condition."
Ryuu was about to use his KI to check his injuries when he was stopped by Sylvana, "Brother don't your spirit veins are damaged if you forcibly use your KI in such a condition it will be bad for you."
Ryuu stopped with a frown on his face, "Oh yup I remember now, it hurt so much when I used the forbidden technique."
Shamiran frowned as she spoke, "If I was able to get my hands on those they would wish they were never born, they hurt you so badly."
Ryuu just gave a smile to her as he yawned loudly.
Veena: "Well Ryuu would need his rest for a little bit more so let him sleep we can talk about it later."
Maheswara simply tousled his hair as they left Ryuu as he drifted onto the land of dreams again.
