78: Chapter 65: Healing Wounds 78: Chapter 65: Healing Wounds Seeing Zhong Tian giving a salute to him, Li Chen slapped his forehead, “Second Grandfather, are you joking with ?
Seen only once in a hundred years, are you referring to his physique as being rare?”
Indeed, I admit Zhong Tian’s physique is quite special, but even so, it shouldn’t be a once-in-a-hundred-years kind of rarity.
Zhong Tian, seeing no reaction from Li Chen, then foolishly laughed again, “I didn’t expect you to actually be my senior brother.”
“Uh, I didn’t expect you to be my junior brother either,” Li Chen said speechlessly.
How could one have anticipated this, and with that physique, he can still practice martial arts?
Seemingly perceiving Li Chen’s thoughts, Second Grandfather smiled and said, “Cheen, take a closer look at Zhong Tian.”
Second Grandfather having said that, Li Chen could only comply and ticulously sized up Zhong Tian, but after a while, he still couldn’t see anything special.
Second Grandfather was sowhat speechless, “Cheen, I ant for you to pay attention to the concentration of True Qi inside his body, not his appearance.”
“Oh.” Li Chen caught on, “But still, there’s nothing remarkable.”
“How strong do you think Zhong Tian is?” Second Grandfather asked.
“If going by the current international ranking standards, he should be mid-tier on the Earth Ranking, about one-fifth of my strength,” Li Chen thought and responded.
“Then try exchanging a punch with Zhong Tian,” Second Grandfather said with a smile, “full power.”
Since Second Grandfather had thus spoken, Li Chen could only comply.
Watching Zhong Tian standing there, still with a silly grin on his face, Li Chen suddenly threw a punch!
There was nothing fancy about this punch, utterly simple, appearing extrely slow, but it was a punch Li Chen threw with all his might.
Although Li Chen was injured at the mont, not even the Ghost King would dare to catch this punch.
At best, an internal injury—worst, completely disabled by Li Chen with a single punch.
Seeing Li Chen throw his punch, Zhong Tian also lifted his fist and then both their fists smashed together.
In that instant, the massive force from both sides directly clashed together, the surging power transmitted from the other’s body shocked Li Chen!
How could this be?
How could Zhong Tian’s strength be so imnse?
In just a mont, Li Chen and Zhong Tian were separated; Zhong Tian took five steps backward on the ground, while Li Chen couldn’t stop his retreat and ended up taking more than a dozen steps back!
Li Chen looked at the foolish Zhong Tian in shock, “That’s terrifying, isn’t it?”
I am sure he is much weaker than , but why is his strength so formidable?
Suddenly, Li Chen realized, this was innate power, Innate Divine Strength!
To be able to suppress with his own strength, Zhong Tian’s power is indeed strong, but this still shouldn’t be terd as a once-in-a-century encounter, should it?
Seeing the shocked expression on Li Chen’s face, Second Grandfather was very satisfied, “Cheen, don’t look at Zhong Tian’s current strength as weak, but he has only been cultivating for a few days.”
“What?” Li Chen couldn’t hold back any longer; just a few days of practice, and he already had the strength of mid-tier on the Earth Ranking?
Li Chen was stunned.
Holy crap, what kind of monstrous talent is this?
I was freak enough, having managed to strike out on my own at 16 and then becoming the King of the Netherworld, but Zhong Tian in front of seems even more monstrous?
However, it seems like this junior brother’s only flaw is being a bit dumb.
Second Grandfather smiled faintly, “So, do you understand why I call him a once-in-a-century genius now?”
Li Chen nodded blankly, like a wooden chicken.
This kind of talent is monstrous indeed.
“All right, Zhong Tian, go and review what I taught you yesterday,” Second Grandfather said.
“Okay, Second Master.” Zhong Tian gave a salute, then headed off to the back mountain.
“Cheen, you must have co back with so issue,” Third Grandpa said, stroking his beard.
Li Chen turned his head, with a mischievous grin on his face, “Third Grandpa, you really are clever.”
“Humph,” Third Grandpa’s eyebrows and beard tremored, seeming a bit proud, “Of course, you naughty boy.
When you stuck your butt out, did you think I wouldn’t know what you were up to?”
Li Chen’s forehead was full of black lines.
“Give your hand.” Third Grandpa said.
Li Chen hurriedly extended his hand, and Third Grandpa felt Li Chen’s pulse, his brows furrowing.
“That shouldn’t be, you took my Pill, how could the True Qi in your body be such a ss?”
Third Grandpa looked puzzled.
Li Chen felt a bit embarrassed and recounted the events of that day, which had Third Grandpa shaking his head.
“Third Grandpa, is there a chance for to get cured?” Li Chen asked with a hopeful expression.
“If Third Grandpa can’t cure you, then who can?” Third Grandpa snorted, then led Li Chen into the house.
“The situation inside your body is a bit chaotic right now, with several types of energy intertwining.
We need to straighten them out first,” Third Grandpa said, “Start with a herbal bath and then I’ll give you so acupuncture.”
Li Chen nodded and then stepped into a huge dicinal tub, after which Third Grandpa threw various Herbs into it, then poured hot water in bucket by bucket.
Instantly, it seed like every pore on Li Chen’s body opened up; the energy contained in the herbal Potion, entering through the pores, made Li Chen so comfortable he simply wanted to moan.
anwhile, the originally chaotic energy inside him, with the incoming energy of the herbal Potion, seed to gradually calm down.
At that mont, Third Grandpa took out the Silver Needles, pinpointed the acupoints, and inserted them into Li Chen’s body.
Li Chen closed his eyes and began to circulate the Mysterious Technique within him, quickly separating his True Qi and Energy.
About half an hour later, Li Chen opened his eyes, a flash of brilliance passing by, his internal injuries had significantly improved.
“Stinky boy, I haven’t thought of a way to completely remove the energy from your body either,” Third Grandpa said, stroking his beard.
“But I do have a thod to suppress it.”
Li Chen’s eyes lit up.
Suppression was also good.
“You should get up first,” Third Grandpa said indifferently.
Li Chen stood up comfortably, turned to look at Third Grandpa, and couldn’t help saying, “Third Grandpa, the needles on my body haven’t been pulled out yet.”
“Leave them in.”
“But the problem is, I can’t dress properly with them in,” Li Chen complained.
“Oh, then take them out,” ca Third Grandpa’s voice.
What?
Li Chen was speechless; Third Grandpa’s teasing was truly creative.
After removing the Silver Needles from his body, putting on his clothes, and following Third Grandpa, Li Chen left.
It wasn’t long before Third Grandpa handed Li Chen a list.
“This is the thod I found after consulting the Classics,” Third Grandpa said.
“Follow the instructions on this list to gather herbs, then brew the herbs, and in three years, you can suppress the energy in your body.”
“Three years?” Li Chen exclaid in surprise.
“Cheen, don’t be ungrateful,” Third Grandpa said dissatisfied.
“It’s good enough that your internal injuries can be suppressed within three years, and this thod won’t harm your body.”
“I know, I know,” Li Chen hurriedly laughed.
“Third Grandpa is indeed the most powerful.”
“Good, then go gather herbs in the back mountain today,” Third Grandpa said.
Just as Li Chen was about to agree, Third Grandpa added, “Also rember to tidy up the herb garden.”
Li Chen was speechless; Third Grandpa really knew how to be lazy.
…
The next day, Li Chen brewed the second potion following Third Grandpa’s thod.
“Really bitter.” Li Chen picked up the bowl and gulped down the potion.
It was truly bitter, exceedingly so; compared to this, what he had drunk before was nothing.
Feeling the bitterness in his throat, Li Chen almost wanted to vomit, yet Third Grandpa simply said, “Bitter dicine is good for the illness.”
“Yes, Third Grandpa,” Li Chen said, drooping his head.
After tidying up for a while, Li Chen said goodbye to the several grandfathers, the list given by Third Grandpa already morized, and a simple thod had been found for his internal injuries.
He would not have to worry for the ti being.
“Cheen, I have sothing else,” Second Grandfather suddenly said.
Li Chen turned around.
“Zhong Tian!” Second Grandfather’s voice echoed, and before long, Zhong Tian ran back from the back mountain, his face still covered in sweat.
“Second Master, I’m here,” Zhong Tian wiped the sweat off his forehead.
Second Grandfather nodded and pointed at Li Chen, “You should follow your senior brother.”
“What?”
“What?”
Li Chen was stunned, so was Zhong Tian, what was happening?
“Thump”
Zhong Tian imdiately knelt down, “Master, what have I done wrong?
Why are you sending away?”
“Second Grandfather, is it really appropriate for Zhong Tian to follow ?” Li Chen was also curious.
“Zhong Tian, get up, we’re not sending you away,” Second Grandfather said.
“We want you to gain so experience with your senior brother.”
“What?” Li Chen was stunned, was he supposed to take this drag around?
Li Chen was speechless; although Zhong Tian had Innate Divine Strength and was talented, his emotional and intellectual quotient really weren’t sufficient.
“Thank you, Second Master, I will definitely follow my senior brother and learn well,” Zhong Tian was earnestly thanking him on the other side.
“Cheen, taking Zhong Tian with you won’t be a mistake,” Fourth Grandfather chuckled.
Li Chen was taken aback, then agreed.
If Fourth Grandfather said so, it must be right.
Watching Li Chen and Zhong Tian walk away, several of them seed a bit lost, as if they had sothing to say.
And Li Chen, unaware of the grandfathers’ reasons for having him take Zhong Tian along, no matter what, he had to take good care of him now.
