" The Alchemist did not hurry to refine the medicine; instead he set the compounded ingredients aside and said, "When I treat the dao wounds upon you, it is highly likely I will alert those who left them.
Better to examine all the dao wounds first, and then treat them all together.
" The Moon Heavenly Venerable's heart stirred faintly, and she smiled: "If the five Heavenly Venerables — Hao, Fire, Dawn, Lang, and the Ancestor — attack together, I will not be able to hold them off. " The Alchemist frowned and looked at Shen Mu. Shen Mu pondered for a moment, then said, "First explore every wound, so that we know what we face; then we shall see how they are to be healed.
" The Alchemist nodded. "Little Shen, the wound at the Moon Heavenly Venerable's heart and the wound upon her face were taken at the same moment and must be treated at the same moment. Can you see through them both?
" Shen Mu urged the vertical eye at his brow to its utmost, his gaze resting upon the dao wound the Hao Heavenly Venerable had left: "The Great Way of Guixu and the Innate Primordial Qi — in these I am no whit inferior to the Hao Heavenly Venerable! " "And what of the Fire Heavenly Venerable's sacred fire?
" The Alchemist studied the Moon Heavenly Venerable's face and asked.
Shen Mu's heart sank, and the corner of his eye twitched.
The Alchemist noticed the look upon his face and frowned slightly. He knew that Shen Mu was not omnipotent.
In Yincan Village, only the village headman and he knew that the Hegemon Body was but a kindly lie. Shen Mu said in a grave voice, "I have studied heavenly fire, but I have made no study at all of the Fire Heavenly Venerable's sacred fire.
However, I am well versed in the divination arts of the Dao and in the Buddhist way of entering the Dao in dreams; and I possess a Sacred Pupil stronger than Blind Grandpa's.
It will not take me long to see through his sacred fire!
