Chapter 5: A Ray of Hope

What a pity! Looking at Jun Xie, Jun Wuyi sighed deeply in his heart. Unfortunately, Jun Xie's age has already become a disadvantage; even if he could endure hardships, it is hopeless for him to cultivate advanced mysterious energy in this lifetime. Otherwise, given his perseverance, it is likely that the Jun family could indeed produce a powerful expert!

Suddenly, Jun's eyes widened unintentionally, and a layer of hazy yellow light appeared all over his body, majestic and imposing, making it difficult for others to look directly at him. An exceptionally powerful aura emanated from him as he grasped Jun Xie's arm and urgently said: "Mo Xie, do you have a way to cure me?"

Having a glimmer of hope is certainly better than having no hope at all

Although Jun Xie's words were spoken in a low volume, to Jun Wuyi's ears, they sounded no different from a thunderclap in a clear sky

Jun Xie’s arm cracked loudly, almost torn apart by Jun Wuyi’s immense strength, yet his expression remained calm, as if it were not his own flesh, feeling no pain at all. He smiled and said, "The hope is slim, but it is worth a try."

How much pain must one endure in this situation, while being fully aware yet completely unprepared to bear such a grasp, all the while maintaining a calm demeanor! ... This quality of character ...

Not to mention! Almost all the renowned physicians of the empire have come to see me. I have been sealed in my meridians by someone using sinister methods, and secretly poisoned with a very strange unnamed toxin, leaving me in a state of neither life nor death..." The gentleman said resentfully, "My father has tried several times, but he has never been able to unravel that sinister sealing technique. As for that unnamed toxin, there is no remedy; the only thing that can be done is to force it out with the most powerful mystical energy, which may be the only way to cure me.

In the entire Tianxiang City, there are only a few masters at the Earth Profound level! Jun Wuyi, who was able to reach the Earth level at the age of thirty, can already be considered a prodigy! Not to mention that he has serious defects in the meridians of his lower body; had these defects not existed, his strength would undoubtedly have reached an even higher level!

"Third Uncle, just wait for me to shield you from the wind and rain so that I can be a second-generation rich kid, haha..." Jun Xie checked everything and felt reassured; as long as he could recover a bit of his inner strength from his previous life, combined with his unique acupuncture technique, and gather the other two medicinal ingredients for the prescription, he would be able to treat Jun Wuyi's injuries without any difficulty.

You suddenly came to your senses, quickly releasing your grip. Looking at your own hand, a look of confusion suddenly appeared on your face as you gazed at Hetushucomcom, saying: "Aren't you in pain? Why aren't you crying out?"

Seeing the calmness on Jun Xie’s face, Jun Wuyi was taken aback for a moment. He looked at him deeply and suddenly laughed heartily: "Haha, I actually believe a little now that you have the ability to cure me."

"It hurts!" Jun Xie said calmly, "Will calling out make it stop hurting? If it could, I would definitely shout it out loud, but unfortunately, it cannot!"

"How ruthless! To let you know there is hope for treatment, yet it is equivalent to having no hope at all..." Jun Xie shook his head and sighed, "It seems this person harbors an extraordinary hatred for you! Using such insidious methods to torment you! His aim is likely to leave you with no way to survive and an unwillingness to die!" After a pause, he unexpectedly asked, "Is that person an arch-enemy of my Jun family?"

Jun Wuyi's emotions gradually calmed down as he said heavily, "Alright! Mo Xie, I will trust you this once!" His hands slowly formed into fists, and Jun Wuyi continued, "Even if it doesn't work out, I will accept it." There was a sentence left unspoken: even if you are deceiving me, I will still accept it

Although the earlier grasp was executed without full force, how could a strike from a master of the Earth Profound realm be endured by an ordinary person? Even a master of the Gold Profound realm would likely frown at such an attack. Yet, Jun Xie, a character clearly possessing only third-grade profound energy, remarkably withstood it without even resorting to his meager profound energy for defense

The illness of my third uncle has been on my mind day and night. Jun Xie wiped his sweat and said: "I also learned about a folk remedy by chance, and it is quite effective. I just want to give it a try; third uncle, please do not speak of those unorthodox methods. To be honest, I hope you recover soon, and it is also for my own sake. I truly wish to live a stable life under your protection as a second-generation heir. That is just how straightforward I am! Haha."

"Over the years, have you not sought medical help, Third Uncle?" Jun Xie asked, somewhat puzzled. After examining Jun Wuyi, he found that the situation was indeed not optimistic. The entire lumbar meridian had been completely blocked, and it seemed that an evil substance was slowly eroding the meridians within the body. If it were not for the good maintenance, the muscles would have completely atrophied by now, rendering him utterly incapacitated with no possibility of recovery. However, for such a condition, if there were a skilled doctor, even if they could not prescribe the exact remedy, they should at least be able to provide some insight.

What needs to be done now is to have a servant give you a full-body massage three times a day—morning, noon, and night. It is best if the servant has some martial arts background, as they should massage along the meridians and not miss any area. Then, every night, soak in boiling water for an hour without interruption. After a period of time, I will prepare during this interval, and then we can begin your treatment. How does that sound?" Jun smiled mischievously.

You smile bitterly: "Which supreme master would make such a great sacrifice for me? Mo Xie, cultivating to the supreme level is as difficult as ascending to the heavens! Who would cut their own cultivation in half for someone else?"

This nephew seems different from before! Jun silently said to himself

It seems that during these years of unintentional recuperation, Jun has never ceased his cultivation of the Xuanqi mental techniques. This layer of yellow light already indicates that he has attained the level of a Di Xuan master. Although he is still at the initial stage, considering his age, this is indeed a remarkable achievement

The person who plotted against me back then had already become a master of supreme quality ten years ago. To unravel his seal and force out the deadly poison, it is imperative that a master of the highest caliber exert their full strength. However, masters of the highest caliber are indeed legendary beings, rarely seen, akin to a dragon whose head is visible but whose tail is not. Moreover, after treating my injuries, this master, due to the effects of the deadly poison, would lose half of their strength and would never be able to recover.

You, with a glimmer in your eyes, detected the immense confidence in his words and smiled, saying: "Moye, you possess merely a third-grade Xuanqi cultivation. Even compared to an ordinary person, you are not significantly stronger. Yet, you withstood the force of my grasp! Not even a change in your expression. Such endurance is not typical of an ordinary second-generation heir"

You little rascal! You spoke with a hint of mockery, but suddenly your expression became serious as you said: "Mo Xie, regardless of success or failure, my third uncle will always be grateful for your kindness!" This statement was made with great conviction.

"Mo Xie, where did you learn the method to treat me?" In response to Jun Xie’s question, Jun Wu’s eyes flickered with a hint of pain, deliberately avoiding the topic. Instead, he looked at Jun Xie, scrutinizing him from head to toe: "Today, you seem to have changed into a different person!"

Then why? ... ... The gentleman paused halfway through his question and fell silent.

The reason for allowing Jun Wuyi to gradually recover using those methods is largely just an excuse from Jun Xie. Because until now, he has not even a trace of internal strength! However, the use of the golden needle to puncture acupoints requires exceptional internal strength to support it
