Through the consumption of Spirit Orbs, I can grow stronger little by little, perhaps one or two digits increase with each Spirit Orb.
I had lost count of how many I consumed because all the people I was helping supplied me with more to use.
I felt like my head was about to explode back then because I was exhausting my own Mana over and over again multiple times and then regenerating it back.
I also constantly used my life energy through my Qi, and gave it to the wounded, healing them, I ended up awakening their Pressure Points and Qi Core at the end to make it easy for them to gather Qi.
I suppose the same happened with my father yesterday, if he awakened Qi and slept through it all, he must slowly feel stronger.
Aside from that, I constantly manipulated Mana and conjured magic, all while also keeping a constant mana supply on Eleanora.
I also found out I gained two new Skills, but I never got the chance to check my Grimoire until now.
The Normal Skill [First Aid: Lv1] and then the Title Skill… [Savior: Lv1].
These Skills… they emerged after I did all of that, and their proficiency was rather high too, perhaps due to all the healing I did.
It is worth checking them now that the three kids were talking with Eleanora, so I had some free time for myself.
Enhances your ability to do first aid on other people. The act of healing wounds of any kind through any method is enhanced by +10% with each level, while also granting a passive buff that enhances passive regeneration of the target by +50% for 24 hours. You have an easier time being able to detect wounds and other problems in a person's body.
A Title Skill given to those that have saved many lives and have put the lives of others before them, even risking their lives for others.
Enhances the usage of [First Aid] and its effects by +10% with each level. Your usage of Healing Techniques and Spells becomes twice as effective. While saving others, your capabilities are enhanced temporarily.
These two Skills were very useful in their own way. I could already detect how I could use them to save other people… I guess. They seem to not work on me, however, so it might be something that I can only use for others.
I don't know how much I will be healing other people though, but maybe I would end up becoming a popular healer in the village. Maybe I could even ask for money in exchange, but at a much cheaper price than the healers and doctors of the village.
I think I might have gotten these two Skills in the middle of helping these people, that might be why they seem to have healed way faster than my father did…
After this entire incident and after reforging my friendship with Chris and Eric, I decided to go look for my father, while Chris and Eric decided to do the same. Erika also went back to her house, as she wanted to go take care of her father.
"Erika, tell your father I am very grateful." I said.
"Sure! I'll come back later to have lunch!" said Erika, as she ran back home.
I went to look for my father, and I found him sleeping in the bed with my mother hugging him.
A faint smile emerged on my lips, as I saw my father alive, breathing, and resting peacefully.
I could notice a strong flow of Qi all around his body, after I forcefully awakened his Qi, and then healed him, he seemed to be developing it rather quickly.
I looked at my mother, she seemed exhausted… I should awaken her Qi while she sleeps now.
I touched her shoulder and quickly infused Qi inside of her body, and like a river of golden energy, I manipulated it into reaching her sealed Qi Core and her Pressure Points.
Because she had them closed for so long, they seemed very tightly shut, this might even wake her up in a bit of pain, but I am willing to just lie about what I was doing.
I quickly saw my mother's body overflow with Qi and Mana. She seemed rather talented, she had to just use and polish such skills.
Although I don't know if my mother would ever be willing to learn Martial Arts, at the very least, I can teach her Mana Manipulation to strengthen her Spirit.
I know that as I grow up, there will be a point where I will walk away from my family to do what I must do.
If that moment comes, I want to see them strong enough to be able to defend themselves and survive…
But there was something else within my mother that I noticed.
There were two more lives within her.
Two hearts, very small, were beating inside her womb.
She was indeed pregnant, and the children ended up having their Qi awakened as fetuses…
I suppose they might be born as innate Qi users in this case. They appear to have suffered nothing bad.
When they're this young, their pressure points and Qi Core are very fresh and new. It is very easy to awaken them, but if I fail, I could have accidentally killed them.
But there is no way for an expert like me to commit such mistakes.
I suppose this is why my mother was overflowing with more Qi than I thought.
It is not only her Qi but that of… my two new siblings.
So I am really going to be an older brother.
I don't really know what to think of all of this.
But I can't help but smile a bit…
I will make sure to be a good figure for the two.
Hah… To think I would get excited about such things…
I am glad I was able to save you, father, you will get to see your other two children grow as well.
