The Modern Immortal

Holy Warrior?

Ultimately, Jin Ning'er was most worried about Jin Dong. She quickly ran back into the garden once she was done settling Daemon.

"Grandpa, why are you up on your feet?"

Jin Dong had been pacing slowly in the garden when he turned around in response to his granddaughter's voice.

"Hehe, don't worry Little Ning, the Nine Heavenly Chakra Needles Technique truly lives up to its name. Right now, my Qi and blood are flowing smoothly and calmly, there's absolutely nothing wrong with me."

Jin Ning'er quickly ran up to Jin Dong's side and gently supported his arms as she helped him back into his seat.

"Grandpa, are you really alright?"

"Mhmm, I'm alright for now. You have wronged Daemon just now, you shouldn't have treated him like that. I want you to apologise to him sincerely later on."

"Grandpa, didn't you say that the Nine Heavenly Chakra Needles Technique can only be executed by someone who has True Qi? Is it possible that Daemon has already entered the Holy Warrior Realm?"

Jin Ning'er stuck her tongue out and made a funny face before voicing her doubts.

Jin Dong slipped into his thoughts, shook his head and said softly, "When Daemon was applying the needles, he did use a kind of Qi, but grandpa is sure that it wasn't  True Qi, but, he may have entered the Holy Warrior Realm after all I saw him defeat a Holy Warrior Realm opponent."

"However, the world is full of wonders, Daemon has a lot of secrets that I can't decipher. Since he is now grandpa's savior, remember to get along well with him in the future, alright?"

Jin Dong told his precious granddaughter this in an extremely serious tone.

Jin Ning'er was unhappy that her grandfather placed that much importance in Daemon. She bit her rosy lower lip lightly and wanted to retort, but finally decided to just nod her head in agreement.

"Grandpa, are you really willing to give him this set of gold needles?"

Jin Dong looked at his own granddaughter in amusement and asked her, "Why? Are you not willing to give it to him? After all he saved my life and he is even your classmate, so why not.

Jin Dong's expression suddenly turned serious as he said to Jin Ning'er, "Tell me, Little Ning, since Daemon saved my life, how should we express our gratitude?"

Jin Ning'er's expression changed too as she looked at Jin Dong in shock. "Grandpa, you've already given him our family heirloom, isn't that enough gratitude?"

Jin Dong calmly shook his head and said seriously, "Little Ning, you don't understand. The reason I gave him the nine gold needles is because he is the only one who can use it! This hardly counts as gratitude!"

"Giving someone who is capable of executing the Nine Heavenly Chakra Needles Technique the nine gold needles is putting the needles to good use. It's similar to an intelligent man using his resources's full potential."

"Otherwise, the nine gold needles would be stuck in this jade box forever. How much more precious would it be then as compared to the gold bars all around the world?"

Jin Ning'er initially nodded in agreement as she listened, but curled her lip later on and said, "But grandpa, you have no idea how petty and greedy he is. What if he takes advantage of this opportunity and makes use of us…?"

Jin Ning'er had experienced Daemon's petty and shameless behavior before. The mere thought of it was enough to grind her gears.

Jin Dong laughed softly as he shook his head. "You're still young, Little Ning, you still do not understand. Think about it, before he carried out the acupuncture procedure, you were worried and suggested that he should leave, how did he react?"

"He turned around and walked off…"

"Well, doesn't that prove something? If it wasn't for grandpa asking him to stay, he would've walked off without turning back and besides that he saved my two times before this. First time on the Black Mountain when we were about to fall off the cliff, second time when I was attacked and now third time by curing me.

"Then, according to you, we're the ones owing him a huge favor?"

Jin Dong nodded his head in silence.

Daemon casually rubbed his face after he was done cleaning up before walking out leisurely.

All it took was one look at Jin Dong's complexion for Daemon to know that the nine streams of spiritual energy that he had channeled into Jin Dong's body had already begun to take effect. Suppressing the heartworm for two months should not be an issue.

"I'm feeling great now, I've never felt this relaxed in decades. I didn't expect to be able to live in such comfort at such an old age, thank you so much!"

Old Jin was feeling refreshed and did not bother to conceal his gratitude towards Daemon.

"Daemon, when are you going to force the Gu Insect out of my grandfather's body?" Jin Ning'er asked with a face full of anticipation the moment she saw Daemon.

It seemed she had not forgotten that Daemon had said that the treatment was just a temporary fix for Jin Dong's cough.

Jin Dong could not help but furrow his brows at his granddaughter's anxiety. Little Ning thinks that he's begging to treat me, doesn't she know that we're the ones begging him?

However, Daemon was completely fine with it as he replied with a smile, "Well, I can't be sure, I think two months later would be good."

"Really?!"

Jin Ning'er was elated as her big eyes brightened up.

Even the experienced Jin Dong got excited when he heard the news and looked at Daemon with a hopeful expression.

"That's great, let me bring you to the shower!" Jin Ning'er was so excited, she ran straight to Daemon and tried to drag him by his hand into the house.
