Greatest Legacy of the Magus Universe

Chapter 125 Magical

Upon Adam's instructions, Viktor gently lifted Elia from the bed and placed her on the ground. The youth needed more space to maneuver. Operating on the bed would prove to be a hindrance.

Moreover, he also instructed Viktor to remove Elia's upper garments, leaving only the bare minimum. Viktor protested against this; he was not comfortable with it at all. However, Adam insisted.

Of course, his intentions were purely professional.

Berger merely observed from the sidelines and didn't interrupt the youth. Adam, on the other hand, walked around Elia and observed her carefully. He nodded his head from time to time and muttered, "It truly is a miracle that she was able to hold out until now."

"What do you mean?" Viktor asked nervously.

"Nothing." Adam shook her head. "Uncle, your wife is a strong lady. By all means, she should have died long ago. I wonder what kept her going…"

Listening to the youth, Viktor's eyes reddened and tears threatened to fall. "Can you really cure her?"

Adam paused for a while and then nodded. "I'm about eighty percent sure."

"Eighty percent…" Viktor repeated. He didn't care about the uncertainty in Adam's words. The youth's reply was far more genuine than those master Herbalists who had assured him that they could cure his wife and then ended up failing.

The man looked at Adam and solemnly nodded. "I'll leave it to you."

Adam sat down on the ground, a little over Elia's head. Then, he took out his personal kit from his earring. After opening the kit, all sorts of herbalism tools were visible.

The youth then took out a bowl and a type of silver liquid from his earring. He then poured the liquid into the bowl, then grabbed the dozens of needles from his kit, and put them inside the bowl.

"What're you doing?" Berger asked with a frown.

"Sanitizing the needles," Adam replied absentmindedly.

"I can see that," The gnome muttered in annoyance. "What do you need the needles for?"

Adam thoroughly cleaned the needles after drying them and replied without looking, "To pierce the skin, of course."

Viktor and Berger looked at each other incredulously, wondering if they had heard right.

Adam got to his feet and started to infuse the needles with his mana. "There are close to four hundred acupuncture points in the human body, 361 to be precise. The vast majority of them are located in the twelve primary meridians and eight extraordinary meridians."

Suddenly, the youth began throwing the needles at Elia's body at extremely fast speeds. His hand appeared to be a blur as he continued to hurl the needles one after the other.

"Stop! What're you doing?!" Viktor roared and stomped toward Adam. However, his hand was grabbed by none other than Berger.

The gnome looked at Adam's movements with shock. "This technique…"

Adam completely ignored the two and continued to accurately throw needles at specific points on Elia's body. "The twelve primary meridians are related to a person's life force, whereas the eight extraordinary meridians are connected to a person's mana."

After dozens of needles had pierced Elia's body, Adam observed all of their placements and nodded.

Then, he looked at the two dumbfounded men and continued explaining with a toothy grin, "By the way, fun fact, the eight extraordinary meridians are precisely the mana channels that are formed during the Neural Stage of Mana Foundation."

Berger had already stopped paying attention to Adam's 'lecture.' His full attention was on the needles that were on Elia's body. At a cursory glance, they appeared too haphazard. However, Berger's trained eyes could clearly see the orderly structure in them.

This technique is from the Continent of Yen-Lu! Berger thought in shock.

The planet they lived in was huge. Six continents stretched across this vast planet with seven seas separating them. Yen-

Lu was a continent directly on the other side of the world.

Berger realized that the wandering Magus who had taught Adam herbalism when he was a kid was very likely from Yen-Lu!

In his youth, he had visited this continent and witnessed the Way of herbalism there. The technique used by Adam was the same as the one he had seen by the Herbalists in Yen-Lu.

However, Berger had never bothered to learn their techniques because at the time he believed that they were backward. And that the herbalism techniques used in the Ulier Continent as well as another continent were far superior.

But when the gnome saw Adam perform the same techniques, he was in a daze. This was completely unlike the one he'd seen in Yen-Lu. It was far more sophisticated. He felt as if he was watching a master at work. It looked beautiful. It looked… magical!

"…Old man! Old man, are you listening?" Adam called out to him.

"Yeah." Berger snapped back to his senses. "What is it?"

"I need your help with the next step. I don't have enough mana to perform it by myself," Adam stated.

"What do you need me to do?" Berger asked solemnly.

"I'm going to extract the impurities accumulated in all the acupoints in her primary meridians. I need you to remove it after they've gathered. This process needs to be carried out without delay, we can't stop for a single moment, okay?" Adam solemnly said.

Berger nodded. "I'll follow your lead."

"Okay, great." Adam took out a large tub from his earring and placed it beside Elia.

Then, he made a series of hand gestures, following which, most of the needles on Elia's body started to shine with a bright light and were soon covered in Adam's mana.

Elia's body trembled ever so slightly, however, she remained fast asleep. Adam had made sure to give her a small doze of muscle relaxants before he began operating.

Soon, black liquid started to ooze out of the tip of the needles. With the help of Adam's guidance, this murky black substance slowly rose to the top and began accumulating a few meters above Elia.

Viktor and Berger were shocked to see such a development.

The black liquid could be considered to be a type of poison that had been affecting Elia all this while!

About ten minutes later, a large blob of sticky, black liquid had formed over Elia. Adam hurriedly instructed, "Old man, now!"

Berger coated the blob of impurities with his mana and transported it to the tub Adam had taken out. When the black liquid filled the tub, it started to sizzle and emit smoke.

Viktor couldn't help but think in apprehension, All this… was inside Elia?!

And that was not all. Adam was still taking out even more impurities through the needles. After a couple of hours, the last of the impurities had been successfully extracted from Elia through the acupuncture technique.

Adam lifelessly fell down and lay on his back. His mana reserves had run dry and he was profusely sweating.

Berger and Viktor looked at Elia, who seemed to be in the best shape that she'd been in years, and were incomparably shocked. Her skin was no longer pale and her breathing had stabilised.

Viktor couldn't help but ask hopefully, his eyes brimming with tears, "Is Elia fine now?"

Adam weakly looked at him and smirked, "Heh, this was only half the battle."
