The doctor’s diagnosis regarding Ling Chen was revealed only to his imdiate family, not to Ling Chen himself. Knowing his condition would likely deal a heavy blow to him. Right now, the most important thing is for Ling Chen to recover properly; Ling Kun doesn’t want anything else affecting Ling Chen’s mood.
At this mont, Ling Gengqiu walked to the bedside and asked, "Brat, how are you feeling? Are you okay?"
"Alright, not too bad, it’s just..."
"Just what?"
"I feel a sharp pain in my abdon, it has lasted for a long ti."
Hearing this, Ling Kun imdiately said, "I’ll go get the doctor."
"No need, I’ll take a look." As Ling Gengqiu spoke, Ling Kun was taken aback, only then rembering Ling Gengqiu’s abilities.
Ling Gengqiu placed his hand on Ling Chen’s pulse, examining carefully for a while. After a mont, Ling Gengqiu’s face turned grave, and he slightly frowned. Noticing Ling Gengqiu’s change in expression, Ling Kun and the others felt worry in their hearts and hurriedly asked, "Elder, what’s wrong with him?"
"It’s very bad, extrely bad." Ling Gengqiu seed unconcerned about Ling Chen’s perception, directly using two uncomfortable words.
Very... extrely... These words changed the looks on everyone’s faces in the room.
"Elder, what... what exactly is wrong with him?" Ling Kun carefully asked.
"His Dantian was destroyed." Ling Gengqiu said, "His hard-earned Inner Strength is all wasted, now he’s no different from a normal person." Pausing, Ling Gengqiu added, "Given his current physical condition, he might not even be as good as a normal person."
"Dantian was destroyed..." Ling Tao said coldly, "Su Cheng’en and his group are truly malicious; they actually did this to Ling Chen."
"Be content." Ling Gengqiu said calmly, "It’s already miraculous that he’s alive. Lacking strength isn’t a big deal, at most the Ling Family can send more people to protect him in the future."
Ling Kun nodded, "Elder is right, as long as you’re alive, there’s hope for everything."
Due to severe injuries, Ling Chen said only a few words before falling asleep deeply. Afraid of disturbing Ling Chen’s rest, everyone left the intensive care ward.
At this ti, Tong Zhentian and others who received the news rushed to the hospital. Through the glass window, everyone looked at Ling Chen sleeping on the hospital bed, feeling uncomfortable in their hearts.
Just this evening, they were drinking together, and in such a short ti, things have turned out this way.
"Du Kang..." Thinking of Du Kang’s reminder, Tong Zhentian sighed lightly, muttering to himself, "If we were a bit more cautious, perhaps this wouldn’t have happened."
Pausing, Tong Zhentian turned his gaze to Ling Gengqiu who was sitting on a bench in the corridor, seeming to ponder sothing.
"Elder Ling." Tong Zhentian walked up, clasping his fist towards Ling Gengqiu.
"Sit down." Ling Gengqiu gestured to the seat beside him.
"Elder Ling, Ling Chen’s situation is dire, do you have any good ideas?"
"Dantian damage cannot be repaired by anyone." Ling Gengqiu shook his head, "To survive is already his good fortune; we should not hope for too much."
Upon hearing this, Tong Zhentian smiled bitterly, "Looks like it’s really the end for Dragon Tiger Hall."
"Dragon Tiger Hall?" Ling Gengqiu asked puzzled, "What does this have to do with Dragon Tiger Hall?"
"Ling Chen is a candidate for the martial arts association seat, given his identity and past deeds, it should have been assured. But now his Dantian is ruined, martial arts skills are gone, he’s like a normal person. Even if he’s contributed significantly to Martial Arts, lacking basic strength makes it hard to convince others, Heavenly chanism Pavilion will surely use this chance to suppress Ling Chen. By then, Ling Chen might miss the opportunity to get that slot."
Ling Gengqiu responded, "Even if Ling Chen doesn’t work, you can find soone else."
"It’s useless, we initially wanted to trade the Nine Elents Pill for support from a Martial Arts master, however..."
"Nine Elents Pill?" Ling Gengqiu’s eyes lit up, eagerly asking, "Do you have Nine Elents Pill?"
Tong Zhentian nodded, "Yes, it’s sothing Ling Chen got from Heavenly chanism Pavilion in the past, never used it, we intended to use it for trade."
"Luckily your trade didn’t go through, otherwise Ling Chen would really have no hope."
Tong Zhentian, understanding Ling Gengqiu’s implication, excitedly asked, "Elder Ling, do you have a way to help Ling Chen recover?"
"Initially, I had none. But with the Nine Elents Pill, the situation changes."
"Really?" Tong Zhentian appeared very pleased, "Elder Ling, how confident are you?"
"Well..." Ling Gengqiu hesitated a mont, uncertainly said, "About fifty-fifty. Where is that Nine Elents Pill?"
"With , Ling Chen had entrusted it to before, I kept it in a very safe place. But the Nine Elents Pill is in East Sea City, I’ll imdiately head back to East Sea City to retrieve it."
Ling Gengqiu nodded, "Okay, you must handle this personally, it concerns Ling Chen’s future, I’m not comfortable with others."
"No problem." Tong Zhentian responded, after greeting He Ziyun, he imdiately arranged to be driven to the airport.
Throughout the night, everyone waited outside the intensive care ward for Ling Chen to wake again.
Seeing Yang Qingling overly upset, Ling Kun worried about her health, thus arranging a room beside the intensive care ward for her to rest for a while.
"Elder." Watching Ling Gengqiu seated on the corridor bench, Ling Kun walked over, and said, "It’s getting late, do you want to rest?"
Ling Gengqiu waved his hand, "Don’t worry about , I’m fine." After a pause, Ling Gengqiu looked at Ling Kun, indicating him to sit beside him.
"Elder, any instructions?"
"Today Su Cheng’en ca for , his strength is formidable, I am no match in my current state. He pursued all the ti, hence I couldn’t attend to Ling Chen. But although Su Cheng’en is strong, I noticed his weakness."
"What weakness?"
"His body has significant issues." Ling Gengqiu said gravely, "I always felt it odd, now it seems my suspicion wasn’t wrong, Su Cheng’en didn’t achieve immortality through a breakthrough, he must have reached it by other ans."
Hearing this, Ling Kun’s expression changed, asking surprised, "Elder, can he forcibly prolong his life?"
"This is also what puzzles ." Ling Gengqiu said confusedly, "How did that old thing achieve it?"
