I Can See Your Combat Power

It covered his head and facial organs then poured into his neck’s Qianquan, Renyin, Futu, Xinshi, and many other small collaterals (branches of meridians, i.e., the smallest pathways in the meridians) which he couldn’t name, and finally filled his trunk.

The invasion of foreign matter made it incredibly difficult to suppress the spiritual power, but Du Ziteng persisted, unwilling to show weakness. As the heat approached his lower abdomen, his spiritual power became more rampant. When the current arrived near his Sea of Qi, he could no longer suppress his internal spiritual power.

“It’s over!” Darkness clouded Du Ziteng’s vision, but the anticipated violent eruption of spiritual power didn’t occur. The warm current and spiritual power entwined together, much like a sheep encountering a sheepdog. His previously uncontrollable spiritual power had turned immensely docile, now silently controlled in the center of his Sea of Qi.

Not only Du Ziteng, but Du Yixuan and Du Han would also look perplexed. The warm currents from their palms’ Labor Palace had tamed their spiritual power one by one. It felt like a subordinate meeting the king, and the wild energy of the Red Cloud Crystal transformed into softness as mild as cotton.

The Innate Qi circulated through the bodies of the three, enveloping not only their spiritual power but also the violent poison in their bloodlines. Tang Luo gingerly controlled the returning Innate Qi carrying Red Cloud Crystal poison. Even with his impeccable control, this task required his utmost concentration, elucidating the intricacy of the job.

This was why Tang Luo dared to perform it directly in front of them. The Earth-based Innate Qi was not unique to him, many Fierce Realm practitioners cultivating earth-related techniques could awaken this energy that strengthens themselves. However, their control of this primary Qi was pitiable.

If they struggled in controlling it within themselves, how could they talk about saving others?

Tang Luo always harbored many uncertainties about his body. If perfect spiritual power control was due to the Star Core, then the control of human Innate Qi didn’t seem to have anything to do with the Star Core. Yet, he was still able to maintain perfect control.

The more scriptures he read, the more doubtful he became about his body. He had a hunch that when he could understand the mystery of his body one day, perhaps he would solve his problem of not being able to recover Qi. Only then would he truly be in his complete form, with no weaknesses.

The Innate Qi carrying intense toxicity was drawn back into Tang Luo’s body and introduced into his Yin-Yang Grinding. The black and white mill merely stirred slightly, completely disintegrating the Red Cloud Crystal poison and absorbing it as Heavenly and Earthly Qi.

Tang Luo withdrew his palm covering Du Ziteng’s Sky Spirit and turned towards Du Ting and the others. He spoke faintly, “It’s done.”

“Is…Is that it?” Seeing Tang Luo sitting back and starting to drink tea, disbelief showed on Du Ting’s face.

Though the Du Family had been reclusive over the years, their search for a cure had never ceased. Regardless of the school of medicine, physicians could only respond to the Du Family’s question with the statement “incurable,” offering only some comforting remedies and then hastily leaving the situation.

Over time, the Du Family had come to see their condition as an incurable disease. Seeing Tang Luo merely touching their heads and claiming a cure left Du Ting feeling as if he was in a dreamland.

If it was this simple, then what had the Du Family’s previous efforts amounted to?

“You…” Tang Luo’s hand froze in mid-air holding the teacup, feeling awkward. “Do you want me to touch you for a little longer?”

“No, no…” Du Ting shook his head with a wry smile then turned to the three and asked, “How do you three feel?”

They still didn’t understand why they had come here. In response to the elder’s question, they simply exchanged glances, finally pushing Du Han out to answer as he was the oldest among them.

“Reporting to the Great Elder,” Du Han glanced at Tang Luo and replied solemnly, “After the warm current flowed through my body, I only feel relaxed, and even the previously ferocious Red Cloud Spiritual Power has become docile. The feeling of blockage when the spiritual power flowed through the meridians has also disappeared. Apart from that, no other changes were noticed.”

“Hmm… I understand.” Du Ting waved his hand and motioned Du Han to step aside. As soon as Du Han spoke, he realized he had been seeking help out of desperation.

The young men didn’t perceive any problems with their bodies, so how could they explain the situation? They had to wait now for Master Sun to use his diagnostic method of Zhaoshen Jing to inspect the few young men before drawing a conclusion.

Not long after, Sun Jinfang, whom they had met once, arrived at the Du Family’s conference hall. Seeing the crowd, he paused, before being pulled aside by Du Ting, who was pointing at the three young men and anxiously said, “Master Sun, you’ve come at the right time. Please take a look at these three young men and see how their bodies are!”

“Elder Du, do not rush.” Sun Jinfang broke free from Du Ting’s grip, looking indifferent, “Put the people’s issue aside for now. Elder Du, will you accept my new rules for treating patients?”

In recent days, he had obtained all the medicinal herbs he could ask for. However, compared to the epidemic’s spread, it was just a drop in the bucket. The physician, known for his disdain for wealth and honor, had no choice but to violate his principles and increase his consultation fee to fifty medicinal herbs during family visits.

He remained emotionless only to hide his internal panic. Even at normal times, a medicinal herb is worth ten thousand gold, fifty would be five million gold. That much just to check the bodies of three young men. Even with the pressing need for medicinal herbs, Sun Jinfang found it hard to ask for that much.

Du Ting was first taken aback, then recalled the rumor around Red Cloud Mountain about Sun Jinfang becoming obsessed with money. But he was only focused on finding out about the situation of the three from his clan. Not to mention fifty medicinal herbs, even if it was a hundred, he would not hesitate, and promptly replied, “Master Sun can be assured. The fifty medicinal herbs will be delivered to you later, but now I request that you examine the three using Zhaoshen Jing.”

When Sun Jinfang first arrived at Red Cloud Mountain, the Du family had invited him to diagnose their condition. Sun Jinfang’s conclusion from his Zhaoshen Jing examination was that the Du Family’s warriors had blocked meridians and signs of crystalization in their organs. This had only happened less than a month ago, and even the most talented physicians were unable to cure the Du Family’s warriors, who were already seriously ill.

Although in desperate need of medicinal herbs, Sun Jinfang remained a physician with high professional ethics. He directly responded, “Elder Du, I have seen the symptoms of the young lords before. They cannot be cured by ordinary medicine. If the Du Family has any new treatment plan or medicine, please show it to me, and I will be able to ascertain the condition of the young lords.”

Having served as a physician for decades, he had seen many patients resorting to sorcery in desperation. They held some strange prescriptions as lifesaving elixirs, which cost them not only their fortunes but also their lives.

These witchcraft practitioners not only dared to deceive ordinary people, but some also dared to deceive noble families. Upon seeing the rosy faces of the three young men, Sun Jinfang was worried that the Du family had fed them medications to stimulate potential, which would be bad for their overall health..
