"Hey, what ti is it? You’re calling now? Do you want to sleep or not?"
After the call was connected, Tang Cha’s dissatisfied voice rang out.
"Master, I’ve been crippled by soone."
Tang Ming shouted with a sobbing tone. In the vast world, he only showed his vulnerable side in front of the old man.
"Hiss, what do you an? Crippled again?"
Tang Cha beca curious and suspicious.
"Yes, this ti I’m really crippled, my dantian has been pierced."
Tang Ming said helplessly. For a martial artist, the dantian is like the engine of a car. Without the dantian, no matter how powerful the martial artist is, he becos a cripple.
"That’s serious, how did you manage that?"
Tang Cha’s tone beca heavy.
"I..."
Then Tang Ming recounted what happened.
"Goddamn, you really know how to stir up trouble, don’t you?"
After listening to the story, Tang Cha complained speechlessly, "I told you to go to Songlan City to get married and have kids, live a good life. How did you end up offending powers like Rainbow Cloud Peak and Netherworld Road?"
"I didn’t expect things to develop like this. Last ti, my ridians were destroyed, and this ti my dantian is crippled. Do you have any way to repair it?"
Tang Ming asked expectantly.
"There’s naturally a way to repair it. You got your dantian pierced while unconscious. As long as you adjust yourself slowly, once the wound heals, the dantian can also recover."
Tang Cha explained leisurely, reminding, "But a person’s dantian is a complete entity. Once it has a crack, it’s like a patched tire. The damaged area becos very fragile, and you never know when it might have issues again."
"Will I still have any cultivation?"
Tang Ming asked nervously.
"Yes, and no."
Tang Cha gave a vague answer.
"What do you an by yes and no?"
Tang Ming asked speechlessly, "In such matters, it either is or isn’t, how can it be so ambiguous?"
"Hey! Let give you an example."
After a mont of silence, Tang Cha explained, "Let’s use the tire analogy. Suppose the limit of a complete tire is being able to hold the air of a full house while staying in perfect condition. When you slice a knife into the tire, leaving a crack on the wall, what happens if you try to fill it with the air of a house again?"
"Will it leak through the crack?"
Tang Ming asked uncertainly.
"Exactly, that’s it. Before, you were an eight-star peak martial master, your dantian’s limit could store the true qi of an eight-star peak, but now even if your dantian recovers, it can’t store that much true qi and energy. How much you can actually retain depends on your recovery condition, and..."
Tang Cha hesitated.
"And what? Don’t leave hanging, Master."
Tang Ming urged nervously.
"And you won’t be able to enhance your cultivation for the rest of your life because the wound on the dantian will scar over, it can’t compress true qi like a normal dantian, or expand through impact. If you try to compress, it will leak."
Tang Cha sighed helplessly.
This is like the barrel principle; how much water a barrel can hold depends entirely on the length of the shortest plank. At this mont, Tang Ming’s dantian is like that, his future cultivation depends on how much the wound can recover.
"Then how long will it take for the dantian to recover?"
Tang Ming’s face looked extrely grim, he really took a hard fall this ti.
"There’s no exact ti, it depends on the constitution of different people, just like a wound on different people will take different tis to heal."
Tang Cha yawned, "A dantian is more complex than a typical wound, it might take ten days half a month, or it might take ten years eight years, depending on your own physical fitness."
"I’m... this is too miserable."
Tang Ming sighed dejectedly.
According to the master, even if the dantian recovers, his cultivation might only restore to an eight-star martial master, but confronting experts like Mo Liuye and Ye Liuxing wouldn’t be possible, what will happen after a year?
"You’re already lucky enough."
Tang Cha snorted disdainfully and said gratefully, "Luckily you were stabbed while unconscious. If you were cultivating, with true qi and energy gathered in your dantian, and got stabbed, you would explode. Not just your cultivation being crippled, you would likely be dead."
"I know that."
Tang Ming nodded. If the dantian was severely damaged during cultivation, the best case would be having ridians completely severed and becoming crippled, the worst case would be exploding to death.
"Alright, since you have a year’s agreent with Netherworld Road, resolve the matters on hand quickly within a year, then co back ho to accompany ."
Finally, Tang Cha said cheekily, "Rember to bring back all the money you’ve earned during this ti, enough for us to live a free and easy life together, and if you happen to bring back a few girls, just give a bunch of grandsons to enjoy family bliss."
"Master, can you be serious for once? If I can’t recover my cultivation, I’ll be killed after a year, and here you are making jokes."
Tang Ming complained speechlessly.
"How is that joking? I’m just caring for you, afraid you’ll get killed, so I asked you to co back for refuge."
Tang Cha said earnestly, "The people from Netherworld Road are very formidable, but your master here isn’t a pushover. As long as you co back, I can definitely keep you safe."
"I understand."
Hearing these words, Tang Ming felt a wave of warmth in his heart. Although the old man was very unserious, he still cared about his safety after all.
"Alright, you judge the importance of things yourself, no matter what, your safety is paramount."
Tang Cha concluded, "Initially, I wanted you to see the world, find a wife, but didn’t expect so many troubles. If I knew this would happen, I wouldn’t have let you go to Songlan City to ss around."
"So can I break off the engagent with Liu ngting now?"
Tang Ming imdiately asked with anticipation.
"No way! There’s no room for discussion on the marriage matter. If you’re coming back, bring Liu ngting back with you too."
Tang Cha shouted decisively.
"Why?"
Tang Ming was extrely frustrated, really not understanding why Tang Cha insisted on pairing him with Liu ngting. Is Liu ngting actually his granddaughter?
"No why, anyhow, your marriage with Liu ngting is set in stone."
Tang Cha commanded unrelentingly, "Even if you have no cultivation, you still have to marry that girl for ."
"Is she really your granddaughter? Otherwise, why do you insist on pushing us together?"
Tang Ming voiced his suspicion.
"Get lost. If I had such a granddaughter, I’d be set for life."
Tang Cha scolded angrily, snorting in displeasure, "If she were really my granddaughter, I wouldn’t need to rely on you for my retirent, her family is extrely wealthy."
