Chapter 447 Using Cody
Paisley stared intently at the Moonlit Artwork.
She never expected it to have hidden secrets, changing when it came into contact with blood, especially Larry's blood.
"This is the secret of the Moonlit Artwork," Larry said, looking at the excited Cody. "I've told you the secret; now you need to protect me."
"No problem. You're part of the Bennett family. As the head of the family, how could I not protect you?" Cody took the Moonlit Artwork and laughed heartily. "Haha, finally, the secret of the Moonlit Artwork is revealed."
But then, the image reverted to its original state.
He was stunned and asked, "What's going on?"
Larry shrugged. "How should I know? Maybe it needs blood to change."
"Why doesn't my blood work, but yours does?"
Larry shook his head. He truly didn't know.
Why was it that his blood could change the Moonlit Artwork, but Cody's couldn't?
"I need some of your blood," Cody said.
"No problem, but I've lost a lot of blood already. I'm feeling weak."
"Then go rest. Paisley, take Larry to rest and take good care of him," Cody ordered, then left with the Moonlit Artwork and the ancient box, laughing.
Paisley helped Larry back to his room.
In the room, she held Larry as they lay on the bed.
"Larry, how did you discover the anomaly in the Moonlit Artwork?"
"It was a coincidence," Larry said softly. "I need some quiet. Please leave."
Larry closed his eyes.
He saw the text on the Moonlit Artwork. The text was profound, and he needed time to understand its meaning.
But he knew it was definitely a method of cultivation, combining with the meridian diagram to practice.
"Okay."
Paisley didn't disturb him further and left the room.
She went to find Cody.
In Cody's study, Paisley walked in.
"Come in, sit," Cody said, in a good mood, his face glowing with pride.
"Grandpa," Paisley called out, then sat down on a chair in the study.
"This Larry is truly a blessing for the Bennett family. He hasn't been here long and has already uncovered the secret of the Moonlit Artwork. Once he recovers, I must take his blood for further study," Cody said with a smile.
"Congratulations, Grandpa," Paisley said with a smile. "Uncovering the secret of the Moonlit Artwork means your skills will reach new heights, and you might become the top master of our time."
Cody waved his hand modestly. "It's not that easy. No one has ever reached that level, but this time, there might be hope. By the way, how did Larry discover this secret? Why does his blood work? Does his blood have some unique quality?"
Paisley shook her head. "I don't know. When I returned, I found him on the ground, covered in blood. I brought him out, and when he woke up, he insisted on going to the underground chamber, so I took him there."
"You've done well. Go rest and take good care of Larry. Keep an eye on him; he surely has more secrets."
"Yes."
Paisley nodded, then quickly left.
Meanwhile, Larry lay in his room, analyzing and understanding the ancient text on the Moonlit Artwork.
Through his understanding, he realized it was indeed a method of cultivating Qi.
However, the method was a bit strange.
Like the meridian diagram, it had many unreasonable aspects.
"Why is it like this? It doesn't make sense. Could Paisley's understanding be correct? That the method and the meridian diagram need to be practiced by two people together?" Larry murmured softly.
Knock, knock, knock.
There was a knock on the door.
"Come in," Larry called weakly.
The door opened, and Paisley walked in, still wearing her white vintage dress stained with Larry's blood from earlier.
"Larry," she called softly as she approached.
"Yeah," Larry responded weakly. "Has your Qi recovered? I need your Qi to heal."
"It's partially recovered, but not fully," Paisley said as she came closer.
Larry said quietly, "I think the Moonlit Artwork requires two people to practice."
"Why do you think that?" Paisley asked.
"Previously, our understanding was correct, but we were missing the method, so it didn't work. And look, the Moonlit Artwork changes with blood. The moon disappears, and the sun appears. According to our understanding, the moon represents yin, and the sun represents yang. This means yang represents men, and yin represents women."
"What about the flower? How do you explain that?" Paisley asked. "The flower suddenly withers. What does that mean?"
Larry fell into thought. After a while, he said, "Maybe it has another meaning. Perhaps we've only uncovered part of it. But this is definitely correct. I saw a method in the diagram. Help me analyze how to split it into two methods."
"What?" Paisley asked in surprise. "You saw a method in the Moonlit Artwork?"
"Yes, get some paper and a pen. I'll write it down for you to see."
Paisley quickly fetched paper and a pen.
Then, she helped Larry sit up in the bed.
Larry was very weak and couldn't sit steadily, so Paisley had to support him.
Larry's arm meridians were broken, and he couldn't exert any strength. He picked up the pen but couldn't write anything.
"It's no use. I can't move. It hurts too much. We'll have to wait until I'm better. Go get Cody for me. I need him to do acupuncture."
"But didn't you say not to tell Grandpa? Wouldn't that be revealing too much?"
"Don't worry. I just need him to use regular silver needles. Besides, Grandpa is a master with great strength, at least at the fifth level. I need to use a special method to utilize his Qi to open my meridians."
Paisley gave Larry a strange look but didn't argue. She nodded, set Larry down, and went to get Cody.
Cody arrived quickly.
Upon learning that Larry needed his help to heal, using his Qi, Cody was curious. Larry's body was in such a state; how could he heal?
Larry instructed Paisley to remove his clothes.
Paisley complied.
Cody asked, "What do you need me to do?"
Larry said softly, "I need you to use your Qi to help me with acupuncture. I'll tell you a point, and you insert the needle."
The Bennett family had a long history of medical knowledge.
Cody had studied it and was quite skilled.
Given Larry's current condition, Cody had no other solutions.
He was curious to see how Larry would heal himself and to gauge Larry's medical skills.
"Okay, tell me," Cody said.
"Start from the philtrum, using Qi to stimulate my acupoints."
Cody followed his instructions.
Soon, Larry's body was covered in silver needles.
"Place your hand on my back and channel your Qi into me."
Cody did as instructed.
At that moment, the silver needles on Larry's body began to tremble.
"What?" Cody was shocked.
Why was this happening?
Then, something even stranger occurred. He could clearly sense a powerful energy gathering and rushing through Larry's Ren and Du meridians and the eight extraordinary meridians.
"Incredible," Cody said in amazement. "You're using my Qi to forcefully open your special meridians. This requires at least a fifth-level master's to achieve."
