The moment this question was asked, the door to the room slammed shut. Wei Changkong widened his eyes and asked,
"How do you know!"
Fan Wubing held his breath,
"I think anyone with a nose should know, right?"
"Is it that serious already! Damn it!" Wei Changkong slammed the bed frame hard.
Fan Wubing let out a dry laugh,
"I didn't expect cultivators to get athlete's foot. I thought you guys were clean and pure."
"Shush—" Wei Changkong quickly grabbed Fan Wubing, "Don't say it, Junior Brother Wubing." He looked annoyed, "This athlete's foot has been tormenting me for ages."
"What exactly is going on?"
"Didn't I tell you before? I was running around to gather resources to support my... my flying sword. The quests and rewards from the sect weren't enough for me. The family's support was limited too, so I had to take up odd jobs everywhere." Wei Changkong was both angry and frustrated, "During the sect's selection for blessed spots, I went to a mountain occupied by an evil cultivator, thinking to kill him, remove a threat for the people, and get some resources. But guess what!"
"What?"
Wei Changkong gritted his teeth,
"Other evil cultivators hone in on killing intent, poison breath, fire breath, blood breath, evil qi… but this damned evil cultivator wasn't afraid of being laughed at by others. With all those options, he chose to hone athlete's foot!"
Fan Wubing widened his eyes,
"You can cultivate that too?"
"In the Cultivation Realm, there are all sorts of qi you can cultivate. Breath, sweat… anything you can think of, someone cultivates it." Wei Changkong became even more annoyed, "And that damned athlete's foot evil cultivator was a leg and foot technique user!"
"This is…"
"He was weak, really weak. I took him down in just two moves. But unexpectedly, while I was off guard, he stepped on me! On my toes! Such a childish tactic, yet he, so old, still used it!" Wei Changkong scratched his head, "Then I got hit. At first, I didn't feel anything, but when I sent you to the blessed spot, it started to itch… and this month, it suddenly became very serious! I've tried everything, purifying meridians, changing blood to create qi, nothing works!"
With that, he immediately took off his long socks,
"Junior Brother Wubing, look, it's like this."
His feet… several layers of skin had peeled between his toes, many places were cracked, with waves of athlete's foot odor emanating from them.
"Ew!" Fan Wubing quickly retreated a few steps, "Don't infect me! Disinfect, disinfect! Disinfect now!"
He hurriedly operated the Unwarranted Qi Creation Skill, transformed some blood qi, and condensed Protective Gang Qi to avoid contact with the athlete's foot.
Wei Changkong stepped forward and hugged Fan Wubing tightly, wailing,
"Junior Brother, you must save me!"
"Get off, get off, don't infect me!" Fan Wubing kicked him hard.
He held on tightly,
"Junior Brother! Your family even has a pure-blood skill, as a medical sect, you must solve this athlete's foot problem of mine!"
"My family specializes in the Martial Dao, Martial Dao!"
"Junior Brother… Immortal delicacies, right, make me some medicinal meals, dietary therapy!" Wei Changkong lamented loudly, "Imagine me, a Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator, the face of the Eternal Immortal Sect, a genius senior brother, dashing and spirited… if I go out and people smell my athlete's foot, my reputation is ruined. If Fu Ming finds out, I'd rather die!"
"Alright! I'll try, just stop yelling! And please act like a senior brother!"
Wei Changkong immediately complied, asking expectantly,
"What do we do, what do we do?"
Fan Wubing promptly took out a piece of pastry from his Qiankun Bag,
"Eat this."
"What's this?"
"Foot Odor Powder."
"Isn't that supposed to be applied externally?"
"Eat it when I say eat it!"
Wei Changkong immediately ate it.
Fan Wubing said,
"Give me your hand."
"Hand? Isn't it supposed to be the foot?"
"You!"
"Okay okay!" Wei Changkong quickly stretched out his hand.
Fan Wubing asked cautiously,
"You don't have a habit of picking your toes, right?"
"No. Me, a Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator, a genius senior brother, dashing and spirited, with countless followers, how could I pick my toes!"
Fan Wubing, still worrying, checked that there was no athlete's foot on his hand before proceeding.
Then, the Unwarranted Qi Creation Skill began to operate.
Qi surged along Wei Changkong's hand meridians, transferring to his feet.
The so-called athlete's foot… was essentially the transformation of Yin Sha Qi, consisting of three parts poison qi, three parts damp qi, three parts resentment qi, mixed with one part killing intent, jointly turning into this flesh-corroding, meridian-polluting athlete's foot.
Attempt transformation.
Sure enough, it's harder to transform external qi than transforming one's own internal qi.
Fan Wubing made several adjustments, controlled it… and only after sweating profusely did he manage to transform all of Wei Changkong's athlete's foot into ordinary qi.
If it were any other qi, Fan Wubing would have swallowed it whole.
But this athlete's foot…
Too disgusting!
Throw it away, throw it away now!
Fan Wubing looked disgusted and said,
"All done."
Wei Changkong felt it, conducted Qi Circulation of the Major and Minor Circulation, then opened his eyes with surprise,
"It's really gone! Junior Brother Wubing, you truly are from a medical sect! To have such miraculous medicine!"
Miraculous medicine?
Ha! Fan Wubing thought internally, it was just an ordinary piece of pastry, a placebo.
Wei Changkong instructed with endless words,
"Junior Brother Wubing, that I got athlete's foot, make sure not to tell anyone."
"Wei Changkong, you owe me quite a bit!"
"Heh heh, remember, remember. As soon as senior brother inherits the family business, I'll repay tenfold!"
Fan Wubing shook his hand in disgust, and after leaving Wei Changkong's room, disinfected his entire body immediately.
Too disgusting!
Never expected the first time transforming external qi would be helping Wei Changkong with athlete's foot!
Fan Wubing lost his good mood for the entire day.
