Jun Xie had spoken in a soft voice. However, his words felt like thunderclaps resounding through the skies to Jun Wu Yiās ears.
Jun Wu Yiās eyes were wide open. A layer of brilliant yellow glow emitted out of his body; so much so that no one could dare to look at him. He grabbed Jun Xieās arm with an unusual strength, and asked in an eager manner, āMo Xie, are you saying that you have the means to cure me?ā
Jun Wu Yi hadnāt stopped practicing his Xuan Qi cultivation while he had recuperated. The layer of yellow light emitting out of his body symbolized the strength of an Earth Xuan ranked expert. Jun Wu Yiās achievements were quite rare in correspondence to his age; even though he was only at the early stages.
One could rarely find an Earth Xuan ranked expert in the Tian Xiang Kingdom. Jun Wu Yi had climbed to the Earth Xuan rank in only thirty years; this feat was similar to that of a sky-shaking genius. His strength wouldāve entered a higher stage if the meridians of his lower body werenāt severely defective.
Cracking sounds issued out of Jun Xieās arm due to Jun Wu Yiās powerful grip. However, his face didnāt show even the slightest trace of pain. He remained calm and indifferent. He smiled and replied, āI canāt guarantee itā¦ but I can try.ā
Suddenly, Jun Wu Yi became aware of his surroundings, and retracted his arm. A trace of doubt crept up in his mind as he looked at his own hands. He turned towards Jun Xie and asked, āWerenāt you in pain? Why arenāt you crying?ā
āIt did pain. But, would the pain stop if I cried? If soā¦ then I wouldāve definitely cried out loud. Butā¦ unfortunatelyā¦ it isnāt so,ā Jun Xie replied.
Jun Wu Yi was startled to see the indifferent look on Jun Xieās face. Suddenly, he laughed out loudly and said, āHaha! Now you have at least managed to convince me that you can cure me.ā
[This nephew of mine seems different from before], Jun Wu Yi thought.
āFor nowā¦ your body needs to be massaged thrice a day ā in the morning, afternoon, and evening. If possibleā¦ get servants with a background in martial arts to massage along your meridians. Moreover, you must soak your body in hot water every nightā¦ for an hour. No breaks are allowed in this routine. We can start your treatment when the preparations on my side are done. Is that alright?ā Jun Xie smiled.
Jun Wu Yi controlled his emotions and said, āVery well, Mo Xie! Third Uncle is willing to trust you this time.ā His hands slowly balled-up into a fist as he said, āIāll accept itā¦ even if it fails.ā However, he didnāt say something else that he felt, [Iāll accept itā¦ even if youāre just messing around with me.]
A strand of hope is better than none at all.
However, Jun Xie sensed something wasnāt right. āThird Uncle would surely have consulted many doctors during these years of being restricted to the wheelchair.ā Jun Xie checked Jun Wu Yiās body again, and realized that he wasnāt in a positive state. The meridians at his waist had been completely blocked-off. Moreover, a heretical drug was slowly eroding his meridians. In fact, his muscles wouldāve started to suffer from atrophy if it not for the high level of care and maintenance. That wouldāve made him a cripple in the true sense, and wouldāve left no scope for recovery. How could the high level doctors not detect that?
āThe well-known doctors from all over the kingdom have been invited to cure me. But, none of them have been successful. I was attacked with an insidious skill, and it sealed off my meridians. Moreover, I was inflicted with a highly peculiar and toxic poison which left me with a life worse than death. We didnāt find any drugs that could fight off against this poison,ā Jun Wu Yi replied with a face full of hate. āFather had tried to break the insidious seal on my meridians several times. But, it hasnāt yielded any results. It seems that the only possible way to force out the poison is to utilize an extremely powerful Xuan Qi.ā
āIf thatās the caseā¦ then whyā¦ā Jun Xie asked, but stopped midway.
āI was attacked by Sky Xuan ranked experts. We would need the help of a Spirit Xuan ranked expert in order to unlock their seal and force out the poison. But, Spirit Xuan experts are near mythical existencesā¦ who would only meet with the heads of organizationsā¦ and not the tails. Moreover, a Spirit Xuan expert would lose half of his strength to cure meā¦ due to severe exposure to the poisonā¦ with no chance of ever recovering.ā
Jun Wu Yi smiled bitterly and said, āWhich Spirit Xuan ranked expert would make such a big sacrifice for me? Mo Xie, achieving such high level of cultivation is as hard as ascending to the Heavens. Who in his right mind will throw away half of his lifeās worth of cultivation for my sake?ā
āWhat a fate! This person has thrown you into a state where you know the way to treat yourselfā¦ and yet that method is unattainableā¦ā Jun Xie shook his head. āIt seems that this guyās hatred for you is beyond ordinary. He has used such a sinister method to torment you. His intention mustāve been to neither leave a path of life for youā¦ nor the will to die.ā Jun Xie paused. Then, he asked unexpectedly, āWere these people our familyās blood enemies?ā
āMo Xie, youā¦. where did you find a way to treat me?ā Jun Wu Yiās eyes flickered with pain as he heard Jun Xieās question. But, he didnāt answer him. Instead, he looked at Jun Xie with an evaluating expression. āYou seem to be an entirely different person today.ā
āThird Uncle, your ailment has always been in my mindā¦ day and night,ā Jun Xie broke out into a sweat. āI found this method by accident. It seems promising. So, I thought that I should try it out. We are related by blood, Third Uncle. Itās natural that I wish for you to get better. But, itās also for my sake. I wish to be protectedā¦ and live a stable life as a second generation ancestor. Thatās the kind of person I am. It canāt be helpedā¦ hahaha!ā
āYou stinking brat!ā Jun Wu Yi scoffed. But then, he resumed his solemn expression and said, āMo Xie, your Third Uncle accepts this act of kindness from youā¦ regardless of whether you succeed or fail,ā his voice rang out loud and clear.
āThird Uncle, wait for the day when you can offer me shelter. Then, Iāll become a second generation ancestorā¦ hahaha!ā Jun Xie checked his state again before he made his mind up. He thought that he could use a three pronged treatment to cure Jun Wu Yi by increasing his own internal energy and with his knowledge of acupuncture and medicinal drugs.

Jun Xie had asked Jun Wu Yi to undergo the massages only to buy time. At present, he didnāt have the slightest bit of internal energy. However, the acupuncture treatment required a huge amount of energy in order to work.
Jun Wu Yiās eyes lit-up as he heard Jun Xieās confident words. He smiled and spoke, āMo Xie, your level of Xuan Qi cultivation is only at the Third Level. It isnāt stronger than an average commoner. But, you still withstood my powerful grip without even batting an eyelid. You wonāt be an ordinary second generation ancestorā¦ with such a character and endurance.ā
Jun Wu Yi hadnāt gripped Jun Xieās arm with his full strength. But, how can an ordinary laymen endure the grasp of an Earth Xuan ranked expert? Even a Gold Xuan ranked expert wouldāve wrinkled his eyebrows in reaction. However, Jun Mo Xie had the negligible cultivation of a Third level Xuan Qi. And yet, he had been able to endure it. Moreover, he hadnāt even utilized his own Xuan Qi to resist.
Jun Wu Yi knew the level of pain that Jun Xie mustāve had to endure. Moreover, the pain was inflicted on him when he was the least prepared. But still, he hadnāt even flinched. This level of mindā¦
[What a pityā¦] Jun Wu Yi sighed as he looked at Jun Xie. [ā¦ What a pity that Jun Mo Xieās age is too advanced. Thereās no hope even if heās capable of enduring painful hardshipsā¦ and is to devote his entire life in cultivating Xuan Qi. Otherwiseā¦ the Jun family wouldāve been able to produce another terrifying expert with his level of unyielding toleranceā¦]
