Under One Person: I Opened the Age of Mythology

Chapter 189 The Secret of Zhang Huaiyi

moment……

Bang!

The door of the treatment room closed again. The old Taoist priest and Zhang Huaiyi standing outside looked at each other, both of them with worry that could not be concealed in their eyes.

But they knew that everyone has their own expertise, and no matter how powerful they were, they could not solve the problems in Jinzhong. The only thing they could do now... was to believe.

In the treatment room...

"..."

Looking at Tian Jinzhong lying on the bed, Xia Ye's face was solemn. Just as he said, if it was before last night, even he would not be very confident.

After all, Tian Jinzhong's current condition is just like Liu Tianhong's back then. He is already exhausted, and the loss of his innate Qi has reached an irreversible point. He is like a flat tire, and it cannot be saved by simply replenishing the innate Qi.

But now it is different. After embarking on the "road to the top", Xia Ye has a new understanding of everything in the world. Coupled with his own understanding far beyond ordinary people, his own methods have been renewed overnight.

Because of this, many difficult problems in the past were solved in an instant last night. Even though his cultivation was not at its peak as it was last night, all his insights were engraved in his mind.

"Mr. Tian, ​​please lie down and relax. Take a nap first. It will be over when you wake up..."

Without any unnecessary nonsense, Xia Ye walked straight to the medicine cabinet, opened the door, took out a pill and fed it to Tian Jinzhong. Tian Jinzhong soon fell asleep.

Then, his eyes flashed, and he activated "Understanding" to conduct a more detailed inspection. The loss of innate Qi could not be caused by a single problem, but must be the result of multiple situations at the same time, and a comprehensive investigation must be carried out.

"Knew it……"

After some inspection, Xia Ye confirmed the situation. Mr. Tian was now "full of holes". Whether it was his body, soul, or true Qi, there were flaws everywhere and everything was incomplete.

All of this is undoubtedly related to his insistence on not sleeping for nearly seventy years. After all, even in spiritual practice, one must pay attention to the principle of "relaxation and tension in moderation". Although these seventy years can be regarded as tempering his soul, it is also equivalent to extremely excessive asceticism. When everything reaches the critical point and there is no rest, he will begin to consume everything he has.

It can be said that even though Tian Jinzhong originally had crippled hands and feet, he could still continue to practice and stay strong with the help of the Taoist "Inner Alchemy" and the "Golden Light Mantra" of Longhu Mountain. Even when the "Golden Light Mantra" was practiced to a deep level, he could condense his hands and feet with golden light without any inconvenience.

But the problem was that he was afraid that he would reveal his fellow apprentice's secrets in his sleep, so he forced himself not to fall asleep. In the beginning, it was still okay and could be considered as practice, but the more time went on, the more concentration he needed to maintain this state, and he no longer had any extra energy for daily practice.

It can be said that his body was worn out by his persistence over the years, which is really a pity.

but……

"Because of this, this may also be an opportunity for him to make a breakthrough. It is said that 'destruction leads to establishment'. Now that Zhang Huaiyi has returned and he has no intention of dying, if he can solve the problems left over from these years, he may be able to reach a whole new realm!"

Xia Ye observed and analyzed in his mind.

He could see that although Tian Jinzhong's soul was now broken, the quality of the soul power itself was incredibly strong. This was the fundamental reason why he could persist without sleep for nearly seventy years. It could be said that he was still tempering himself all the time, even though it was broken. This was truly a different approach!

"As for this treatment plan..."

Xia Ye narrowed his eyes and pondered for a moment, and determined that the root of the problem still came from the damage and destruction of the true qi of life. Only by plugging these holes first can the loss of innate qi be fundamentally prevented.

Of course, this alone is not enough. After all, acquired complements are always difficult to make up for innate deficiencies, and the best way is to use the innate Qi to reshape the true Qi of life. He could not do this in the past, but it is no longer a problem now.

next moment……

Xia Ye's face was solemn and his expression was serious. He slowly closed his eyes and began to list the needs of this treatment.

Since the breakthrough, he no longer needs to absorb mysterious energy to use various abilities. At the same time, he can also integrate and even sublimate various powers through simulation combinations.

And soon...

Lines began to be drawn in his mind, and a "scroll" was also drawn out. On the scroll were mysterious symbols one after another, representing all the mysteries between heaven and earth.

As his mind moved, all the mysterious symbols of people began to flow, decompose, and reorganize on the scroll, and finally turned into a brand new symbol and integrated into his life.

Wow!
The next moment, a golden light emerged in Xia Ye's palm, and a suction force surged out from his palm, forming an invisible vortex, attracting all the free innate Qi in the surrounding heaven and earth into his hands.

"Ok?"

Sensing the unusual movements around them, the old Taoist priest and Zhang Huaiyi outside also reacted immediately. After feeling it for a while, they both looked towards the direction of the treatment room.

Soon, Zhang Huaiyi showed curiosity: "Has this kid's medical skills reached the point where he can repair the innate qi..."

He was in disbelief.

"Well, I think it was possible after the breakthrough last night. There are all kinds of miracles on this road. Everyone's path is different, so the performance is also different."

The old Taoist priest narrowed his eyes and responded softly.

"Is this the 'Road to the Top'?..."

It has to be said that this really aroused Zhang Huaiyi's desire to seek the truth. Now the problems he was worried about have basically been solved, and he no longer has to hide everywhere like he did in the past. It seems... he can indeed pick up his previous pursuit again.

But that was all later. The most important thing right now was Tian Jinzhong's treatment. The two of them simply exchanged a few words and then fell silent again, their expressions still worried.

And at this moment...

call!
In the treatment room, a ray of fire rose in Xia Ye's palm. Strands of pure white Qi gathered in his palm, and at the same time, mysterious energy also poured in.

There is no doubt that these pure white Qi are the innate Qi that was attracted, and what he wants to do now is to use these innate Qi as the root, integrate the flesh and blood, soul and pure true Qi, and refine the "innate life Qi"!
In Xia Ye's opinion, only flesh, blood, soul and true Qi that have reached the "innate" level can truly repair all the damage in Tian Jinzhong's body. Only in this way can his body be leak-free again and the overflowing innate Qi be blocked...

Soon, under his precise control and rapid refining, a pure white pill appeared in the palm of his hand. To be on the safe side, he refined it a second time using the "Nine Turns of the Universe" method, extracting the essence once again and removing the remaining impurities in the innate Qi. Only then was it finally completed.

Xuandan!

Mysterious Pill!

Without the assistance of any medicine or physical objects, using purely the mysterious things between heaven and earth as materials, this is the pill that Xia Ye is refining at the moment!

At the same time, this is the method of alchemy that he truly mastered after embarking on the "road to the top". All materials are taken directly from heaven and earth, without having to do it as in the past!

Not only that, since the previous process of refining from raw materials was omitted, the materials used this time are purer and closer to the origin of heaven and earth. In terms of quality and efficacy, they are superior...

It can be said that this is the best pill Xia Ye has ever refined, and using it to save Tian Jinzhong and bring him back from the jaws of death is truly the most appropriate thing to do!
Without any hesitation...

Xia Ye immediately walked to the bedside and stuffed the pill into Tian Jinzhong's mouth. As soon as the pill entered his mouth, it turned into three streams of mysterious energy and began to repair Tian Jinzhong's body, soul and true qi at the same time.

During this whole process, he had been observing and confirming the effect of the Xuan Dan. Everything was just as he expected. The defects in Tian Jinzhong's body began to slowly repair themselves, and his vitality began to rejuvenate!
It won’t take a moment…

The powerful medicinal effect swept through Tian Jinzhong's whole body, and a faint golden light appeared around him. This was both the effect of the elixir and the "light of life" condensed by the "Golden Light Mantra" he had been practicing. However, it now looked quite broken, and the surface of the golden light was full of holes and pits.

But at the same time, it can be seen that with the blooming of golden light, these broken places are being filled and gradually repaired at a speed visible to the naked eye. The originally exhausted body is full again, which shows how powerful the effect of this mysterious pill is!
Not only his own life energy, but also Tian Jinzhong's originally severed limbs began to wriggle as the golden light gradually repaired itself. This was specially designed by Xia Ye, who wanted to get it done in one go...

And soon...

Pffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff!

As four sounds of flesh and blood rang out, the broken ends of Tian Jinzhong's limbs exploded at the same time, but one could see that in the gaps between the flesh and blood, the white bones were stretching little by little, and the meridians and muscles were wrapping around them!
It must be said that since Tian Jinzhong's problem was quite serious, it would take a long time to repair it. Time passed little by little, and it was not until half a day later, almost noon, that the early repairs were basically completed.

Looking at Tian Jinzhong lying on the hospital bed, the golden light blooming around his body was already full and flawless. His originally broken limbs had also grown back, and they looked solid and strong, without any problems at all!
So far, Tian Jinzhong's "tire full of holes" has finally been repaired. This is also the biggest difficulty in this treatment. Once this is overcome, the follow-up will be easy...

After a careful inspection and confirmation that all the places that needed to be repaired were perfect without any omissions, Xia Ye raised his hand again and absorbed the innate Qi around him.

This time, since the purpose was to replenish the innate Qi that had been lost by Tian Jinzhong, there was no need to go through the trouble like before. Xia Ye did not add anything mysterious, but simply absorbed the innate Qi and burned out the impurities in it.

After the smelting was completed, he immediately injected all the innate Qi into Tian Jinzhong's body, guiding it to circulate along the running pathways in Tian Jinzhong's body, helping it to refine and absorb all the innate Qi thoroughly.

"not enough……"

Then, Xia Ye checked it again, and sure enough, even after being refined, these newly injected innate Qi could only remain in Tian Jinzhong's body temporarily, and could not truly integrate into his innate Qi and make up for the deficiency.

This is also the situation that will occur when absorbing the innate Qi after birth. After all, it does not belong to oneself and can only be "borrowed temporarily". If one really wants to replenish the innate Qi, one must use special exercises.

"This is easy!"

After finishing the analysis, a smile appeared on Xia Ye's face. He immediately spun his palm and the pill fire started again. After a moment of refining, another pill took shape in his hand.

Into this pill, he added a mysterious power similar to the "Saint Thief" but improved by himself. After taking it, the person who takes the pill can temporarily possess the ability to rival the "Six Treasury Immortal Thief", which is what Tian Jinzhong needs most now!

then……

After feeding Tian Jinzhong the medicine again, the effect of the medicine was quickly stimulated. A huge vortex instantly formed in Tian Jinzhong's body, which began to greedily devour the innate Qi injected before and completely transformed it.

After so many years of overdraft and consumption, the little bit of innate Qi just now was obviously not enough. After the transformation was completed, the suction force of the vortex turned to the surroundings and began to absorb the innate Qi overflowing between heaven and earth.

Wow!
Upon seeing this, Xia Ye immediately raised his hand and waved. A flame barrier formed by Dan fire condensed in an instant and wrapped around Tian Jinzhong, helping him to refine and remove the impurities in the innate Qi so that he could absorb it with confidence.

And just like this, after about half an hour, the absorption of the innate Qi gradually slowed down and then stopped, which meant that the innate Qi that had been lost in Tian Jinzhong's body due to unnatural reasons had been replenished.

At this moment……

Xia Ye waved his hand again and removed the barrier. Then he focused his eyes and began to observe, and soon a smile appeared on his face.

"It's done!" It can be seen that now Tian Jinzhong not only has his life energy completely recovered, but the loss of innate energy has also been replenished. His nearly seventy years of soul cultivation are now all internalized in the Niwan Palace, and his divine light is shining and his soul is clear.

However, this also creates a new problem...

"Um……"

"Now Mr. Tian's spiritual cultivation is too strong, and he is unable to practice physical cultivation due to years of disability, which has caused his life to be out of balance. Although there is no major problem for the time being, it is extremely unfavorable for future cultivation."

Although Xia Ye knew that after he returned to the mountain, the old Taoist priest and Zhang Huaiyi would naturally find a way to help him solve the problem, but since the problem fell into his hands, he might as well do a favor for the three elders of Dragon and Tiger!
So, Xia Ye fiddled with it for a while before finally completing the operation. He then immediately woke Tian Jinzhong up and let him feel his current body...

"Is this, this, this, this... am I really okay?"

And when he felt his hands and feet again, a feeling he hadn't had in nearly seventy years, Tian Jinzhong couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised. He quickly got out of bed and moved around a bit. He felt that his new hands and feet were extremely flexible, strong and powerful, as if he had never been disabled!
"Thank you, little friend Xia!"

At this moment, Tian Jinzhong was so grateful that he could only bow to Xia Ye. After getting rid of the heavy burden of being a junior brother, his only thought was to recover his hands and feet and resume his practice.

There is no doubt that Xia Ye's treatment made up for a great regret in his life and was a great favor. Even if he doesn't know how to repay it now, he will definitely remember it in his heart!

"Mr. Tian, ​​this is not possible. Please get up quickly!"

Seeing this, Xia Ye quickly helped Tian Jinzhong up and immediately smiled.

"The old Taoist priest and the others are so worried, let's get out now!"

As he said this, he immediately supported Tian Jinzhong and opened the door of the treatment room. The old Taoist priest and Zhang Huaiyi, who were anxiously waiting outside, also stood up and stared.

"Tian, ​​Tian, ​​are you okay?!"

Compared to the old master, Zhang Huaiyi, who had always felt guilty, seemed more excited. He immediately rushed forward, grabbed his senior brother's shoulders and checked for a moment, then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"call……"

"It's all right! It's all right!"

"Haha, Huaiyi, what's wrong with you? Why do you make me look like I'm going to die? I'm fine!"

Tian Jinzhong laughed loudly and patted his junior brother's shoulder hard. However, when his palm touched Zhang Huaiyi's shoulder and he felt the long-lost touch, he couldn't help but shudder and his eyes became wet.

However, as a cultivator, his mind was firm, especially in front of his two senior and junior brothers. Tian Jinzhong did not want to be laughed at, so he forced himself to stop the tears in his eyes and grinned at them.

"Don't worry, I'm fine!"

The old Taoist priest and Zhang Huaiyi both grinned and smiled knowingly upon seeing this. The feelings between them no longer needed words, a nod was enough.

At this moment……

"Old Taoist Priest, Senior Huaiyi, although Mr. Tian's health has been cured, there is still a small problem that needs to be solved, and that is the 'balance of life'..." Xia Ye said at the right time.

"Oh?"

After hearing this, the two of them indeed discovered the problem with Tian Jinzhong. With their understanding of cultivation, they naturally understood the reason immediately and nodded in response.

"Um……"

"Jinzhong, I will teach you how to practice after we go back."

The old Taoist priest proposed immediately.

But the next second...

"Actually, this isn't a big deal..."

Xia Ye grinned and started talking again, taking out a porcelain bottle.

"After noticing Elder Tian's hidden danger, I immediately prepared a bottle of elixir that can enhance vitality in a short period of time without any side effects. If you take one pill a day and persist for a month, you should be able to achieve a basic balance of life and death. At that time, practicing in this area will be more effective!"

After saying that, Xia Ye handed the porcelain bottle to Tian Jinzhong and said, "Send it to the Buddha and send it to the west. Just consider it as a little token of my appreciation!"

"This……"

Seeing this kid being so attentive, the three old men suddenly felt embarrassed. Although they could all guess the kid's purpose, the saying still applies - a gentleman judges by deeds, not by heart!

So, Mr. Tian did not refuse, and silently took note of this favor. After putting away the medicine bottle, he took out the check he had prepared long ago:
"Well, thank you, little friend Xia. We also know the rules here. One life is worth 100,000, right?"

"Normally, this is the case, but I have received a lot of favors from the old Taoist priest and Senior Huaiyi over the past few years. This is my way of repaying them, so I won't charge you for the consultation."

Xia Ye refused directly.

"Oh? You knew Huaiyi before?"

Hearing this, Tian Jinzhong immediately became interested and turned to look at Zhang Huaiyi.

"So you're just hiding from us, right?"

"No, Brother, you misunderstood. This guy came to me by himself when he was traveling. It was a coincidence. You know, if I want to hide, I must hide deeply. How could I still show up in the martial arts world..."

Zhang Huaiyi quickly waved his hands and explained immediately.

"So that's how it is. Then, my friend Xia, you and Longhu Mountain are truly destined to be together. If you don't want to accept the consultation fee, then don't accept it. But no matter what, I owe you a favor for what happened today!"

Tian Jinzhong nodded and looked at Xia Ye again.

"If you need anything in the future, you can come to Longhu Mountain to find me. Although I am not a contemporary Heavenly Master, everyone in the Heavenly Master's Mansion still respects me. As long as my Heavenly Master's Mansion can help with something, just ask!"

But at this time...

"Haha, Jinzhong, if that's the case, it will be hard for you to repay this favor..."

The old Taoist priest, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke, walked over slowly, and patted Tian Jinzhong on the shoulder.

clap clap!

"Well, he has recovered quite well, and is stronger than the other disciples in the temple!"

In this way, he was completely relieved and immediately looked at Xia Ye.

"Jinzhong, our friend Xia's identity is quite extraordinary. In addition to his identity as 'China's No. 1 Divine Doctor', he has an even greater background!"

"Oh?"

Tian Jinzhong was stunned and looked at Xia Ye.

And at this time...

"..."

Seeing the old Taoist priest speak like this, Xia Ye's eyes also fixed. He did not feel any hostility from the old Taoist priest, and he had just saved Tian Jinzhong, so it was obviously unreasonable for the old Taoist priest to attack him at this time, so...

"Old Heavenly Master, do you have any advice?"

Xia Ye smiled slightly and saluted to the old Taoist priest.

"Haha, I can't say I'm giving you advice. At our current situation, it's already a rare opportunity for us to confirm each other. Don't be nervous. Everyone present is not an outsider. Even if Jinzhong doesn't know now, he will know when he returns!"

The old Taoist priest also suddenly grinned and smiled.

then……

"Huai Yi, I remember you said last night that you would tell us all the secrets of the past. Now there is one more person... do you mind?"

The old Taoist priest did not explain much, but looked directly at Zhang Huaiyi and asked him.

"This……"

"It's nothing. If you want to listen, Xia Ye, then just join us."

Zhang Huaiyi knew that he owed this kid a lot of favors. Since he had already decided not to keep it secret, it didn't matter if he added this one more person. Maybe it could even help his "career".

"Um……"

In this way, Xia Ye understood what the old Taoist priest meant. Being able to share the secret with him meant that the old Taoist priest had recognized him, which was a good thing.

then……

"Of course!"

Xia Ye smiled calmly and nodded in response.
