“Do not speak for now!” Yun Qinghong forcefully suppressed his excitement. In front of him, Yun Che’s eyes had been closed the entire time. His brows were knitted tightly, and his forehead was drenched in sweat. His current state, showed that he was concentrating with all his might.

  Yun Xiao hurriedly reached out his hand to cover his own mouth. He looked at Yun Che, then looked at Yun Qinghong, and no longer let out the slightest sound. However, the stirring in his eyes had clearly showed the tumbling in his inner heart.

  However, the excitement in his heart, was naturally unable to compare to Yun Qinghong’s by a long margin.

  The warm flow of energy continued to swim in his body. After passing through his sternocostal, those dormant veins were sending out senses one after another, as though they were awakened by a long, deep slumber. As for these veins which were completely wilted, and wouldn’t be exaggerated if they were deemed dead, he had initially thought that it would be impossible to restore them again forever. Those genius doctors whose names could shake the Illusory Demon Realm, had all told him that his meridians could never be restored. However, currently, he was clearly, and incomparably truly, sensing the existence of these veins once again.

  Among these wilted veins, even if only one of them could be restored, it would be sufficient for him to believe that it was an incredible miracle. However, what he was sensing, was one vein after another being restored consecutively. The increasing painful sensations, that were either light or heavy, did not cause him to reject them in the slightest. Instead, they excited him, as though he was in a dream where he was stepping into the heavens…

  Initially, he was merely someone whose body had been completely crippled more than twenty years ago, who had long lost all hope and was even calmly waiting for his death. In order to not worry his wife and son, what he expressed had always been an adaptable, breeze-like calm, as though he was seeing light of everything. However, no one could understand that was merely a form of displaying an unfathomable degree of helplessness, pain and despair. And no one could understand the degree of excitement and ecstasy he was currently feeling at this moment.

  Yun Che maintained the same unmoving posture, and only sweat was flowing in streams from his head. Very quickly, his clothes were completely drenched as well. Yun Qinghong looked at this male youth in front of him who bestowed him this heavenly surprise and boundless hope. An overwhelming surge of feelings fluctuated in his inner heart.

  This youth… Who is he…

  Naturally, senses being restored to his veins did not represent a complete recovery. To completely restore them, even with the profound Great Way of the Buddha, it would still require a considerably long time. What Yun Che was currently doing, was to once again infuse these veins, which were initially completely wilted, back into the source of life. This was the first step he had to take in order to treat Yun Qinghong.

  Having senses being restored to a few of his veins was enough to excite Yun Qinghong to think that it was all a dream. When he realized that this awakening was quickly spreading, and seemed to be awakening all of his wilted profound veins, even with his frame of mind, he felt a very heavy, heavy sense of surrealness. And this miracle, in two hours, had truly emerged within his body… Two hours later, following after the disappearance of that warm flow of energy in his body, all of his wilted veins had been completely awakened. Although it was still impossible to infuse energy into these veins which were just awakened, nor were they able to support his stamina, this was already a miracle among miracles. And, it had even lit up an incomparably bright and glaring hope within him.

  Yun Che heaved a long sigh, and finally opened his eyes. He retracted his arm, and took a step back. Right after, he swiped away the beads of sweat from his forehead, on his fatigue-looking face, he revealed a light smile. “Senior Yun, now… are you able to believe this junior’s words?”

  “Little brother… You…” Looking at Yun Che, he felt that foreign sensation all around his body. This was the first time in Yun Qinghong’s life that he was unable to say anything out of excitement.

  “Brother Yun, you’re really… really too incredible!” Yun Xiao’s pair of eyes glowed. His fists were clenched, and he was so excited, even his limbs were not listening to his instructions somewhat. “Brother Yun, earlier, you said that… you’re able to have my father completely recover in two months… i-i-is… is that true?”

  Yun Che nodded. “Of course it’s true.”

  “How… How confident are you?” Yun Qinghong hurriedly spoke out right after. Currently, his face had long lost the calm and lightness he had earlier.

  Yun Che said with a slight smile. “A hundred percent confident, of course! Senior Yun, don’t worry. Since this junior dares to say it, I will definitely make it possible!”

  “…” Earlier, Yun Qinghong would definitely not believe these words from Yun Che. However, right now, after personally experiencing the awakening of all the veins in his body… and knowing that it even merely took an incredibly short time of two hours, his belief, had now far suppressed his suspicion.

  Yun Che picked up a piece of paper from the table, speedily wrote down two rows of words, and passed it to Yun Xiao. “Your Yun family should have its own medicine storage. According to the amount listed here, go pick out these fourteen medicinal ingredients, and bring back at least a hundred and nine silver needles which are at least three inches long.”

  “Ah… alright!” Currently, Yun Xiao was treating Yun Che’s words as a royal decree. He speedily glanced through it, and realized that all of the ingredients listed were very common medicinal ingredients. Thus, he could not help but ask. “Just by using these ingredients, it’s possible to heal my father’s body?”

  “These are not used for Senior Yun, but for you!” Yun Che said while shifting his eyes over. “Your injuries are not light, and earlier, you were overly impulsive. Now that your blood flow is in a mess, if it’s not kept under control, I’m afraid it can’t be healed even after two months. Only the silver needles are used for Senior Yun… The cold poison in Senior Yun’s body had already invaded his entire body, and even his vitals have been completely invaded. The regular methods of expelling the poison would all have very huge risks, hence, the only choice is to use silver needles to slowly expel the poison from the various parts of his body. Hurry and go.”

  When Yun Che said the words “cold poison”, and looked as though he actually had the confidence and method to expel the cold poison, the glow in Yun Qinghong’s eyes once again stirred intensely.

  “Alright, I’m going now!”

  Yun Xiao jogged out. Just as he reached the door, he once again stopped his steps in an instant, and turned around. “Oh, right! Mother… Where did mother go? Since Brother Yun is able to cure father, then he’s definitely able to cure mother as well!”

  Yun Qinghong said: “Your uncle came over in the afternoon, so your mother followed him back to the Mu family. She should be back very soon. Hoho…”

  Yun Qinghong’s final light laughter at the end, was a laughter filled with ease and comfort. Although his wife’s state was similarly severe, it should be a little lighter than his. Since the youth in front of him dared to say that he was hundred percent confident in healing him completely, then he would naturally be able to treat his wife…

  Just as Yun Qinghong’s words fell, the voice of a rough man suddenly sounded from outside the courtyard. “Brother-in-law, we’re back… Mn? A guest?”

  Chapter 506: Mu Yubai, Mu Yurou

  When Yun Xiao heard that voice, he turned around and shouted “Mother is back!” in a low voice. He did not care about the wounds on his body, and rushed out impatiently with steps as swift as an arrow.

  Yun Che did not follow him out. Instead, his gaze shot past the door that had been pushed opened by Yun Xiao, and he looked at the two figures which had just entered the courtyard. His eyes turned hazy and something seemed to be caught in his throat; it was almost as though he had forgotten how to breathe, as his
entire body started to gently tremble.

  Yun Xiao’s voice quickly came from outside.

  “Uncle…. Ah, Mother! You’re back!”

  As Yun Xiao’s voice fell, a woman’s gentle yet anxious sounded out, “I heard that you were ambushed outside the city and had even gotten injured…. Quick, let Mother see. Where are you hurt? Are your injuries serious?”

  “Eh… Mother, how did you know about my injuries?”

  “Huh!” a somewhat boorish male voice rang out, the man said evenly, “This old man was helping your mother recuperate, when news suddenly came, saying that you and that girl from the Under Heaven Family were ambushed by someone. This almost scared your mother half to death, so she anxiously rushed back home. Kiddo, let me see to your injuries….”

  “Big brother, How are Xiao’er’s injuries? Are they heavy? I heard that the ones who ambushed them were three Overlords. How could Xiao’er withstand any blows from them?” The woman’s voice trembled heavily and she was obviously beside herself with worry and anxiety.

  “…These wounds are not light, but do not worry, they are all external injuries, as long as he rests for a while, he will make a full recovery.” The man’s rough voice rang out once more, and it carried with it a slight undertone of suspicion, “Kiddo, who helped to treat your injuries? Such serious external injuries, yet they were suppressed to this level in such a short amount of time.”

  “My injuries are fine.” Yun Xiao’s heart was filled with joy, and he did not even care about his current state. He said in a hurried voice, “Mother! Come quickly! I have some extremely good news for you! Both your injuries and father’s injuries can be healed! I met this incredible big brother, and he has a way to help your bodies recover completely… it’s true!”

  The voices of the three people crept closer and closer. When Yun Xiao’s voice fell, they had stepped into the room. Yun Che’s gaze regained its clarity at this moment, and his wildly-beating heart had been forced into a calm state. He looked at the two people who had followed Yun Xiao into the room… The man looked to be roughly around thirty years old. He was tall and broad, and his beard filled his face. He seemed to be a person who was unconcerned with his appearance, but his eyes were as fierce as a wild tiger’s; they were forcefully imposing. As his gaze swept across Yun Che, a kind of indescribable pressure suddenly assaulted over…

  A Monarch level pressure!!

  These supreme existences which had only existed in legends; in just one day, Yun Che had met them one after the other. This didn’t mean that the Illusory Demon Realm had numerous super powerful Sovereign Profound Realm practitioners. This was the Demon Imperial City, and it was the core of the Illusory Demon Realm, where the peak of its profound world was gathered. And when Yun Che had initially arrived at this place, the people he had met were all from the Demon Imperial City’s most illustrious families; Moreover they were all peak existences within their respective families…. Greatest Ambition Under Heaven was the current patriarch of the elf clan; he was an individual who could cover the sky of the Illusory Demon Realm with one hand. And the tall and broad man in front of him… Was from the Twelve Guardian Families’ Mu family, Mu Yubai, the well-known Young Patriarch of the Mu family, and the future Patriarch of the Mu family. He was similarly a supreme existence who could shake the entire Illusory Demon Realm.

  But what this clearly entailed was that within the short span of a few years, Yun Che had, under the instruction of Jasmine and his own desperation and hard work, begun to close in on the realm of the mightiest existences within both the Profound Sky Continent and the Illusory Demon Realm.

  Mu Yubai snorted in contempt as he heard Yun Xiao’s words, “Allow your father and mother to fully recover? What kind of nonsense are you spouting?”

  “Uncle, Mother, what I said is completely true! If you do not believe me…. Ask Father!” Yun Xiao continued hurriedly. The miracle that had happened to Yun Qinghong caused him such joy that he felt like blood was rushing throughout his entire body. It could be said that in his entire lifetime, he had never been as excited as he was right now.

  “And this… is?” The woman whom Yun Xiao supported did not seem to hear his words at all. After she entered the room, her gaze fell directly on Yun Che, and did not move at all after that. Yun Che also looked at her, his lips repeatedly closing and opening, yet he did not utter a single word.

  The years did not leave many marks on her body, but it seemed to have left her with many scars. Anyone could see that in her youth, she had been a peerless beauty. Her appearance was gentle and elegant, her disposition, graceful and noble. Yet her disposition was not so much one of excessive nobility, it was more like she exuded an aura of melancholy… A deeply engraved melancholy that seemed to sit between her brows and in her soul. The melancholy was so deep that it seemed like even one thousand years would not be enough to clear it away. Even if an insensitive person saw her, he or she would clearly be able to feel her sorrow.

  Her face showed the same kind of paleness as Yun Qinghong. Even though she could walk, each step showed a noticeable weakness; even her eyes seemed to be covered in with a layer of haziness.

  Her current state might have been slightly better than Yun Qinghong’s… but it was not better by much.

  She… is my… birth mother…

  Mother…

  “Could it be that you are the young man who saved this kid and the Under Heaven Family’s girl?” Mu Yubai measured Yun Che with his eyes. When he felt his profound strength level, his brows making an obvious movement.

  “Mn, mn!” Yun Xiao nodded his head, his expression filled with excitement as he said, “Let me introduce him to you. Mother, Uncle, this person is Brother Yun. When Seventh Sister and I were ambushed by the men in black, he was the one who saved us…. Uh, Mother? Mother, are you alright? Why do you keep staring at Brother Yun?”

  Yun Xiao waved his hand in front of Mu Yurou’s eyes a couple of times. It was only after this that she recovered from her stupor. After which, she gently laughed, “It’s nothing, I am just very grateful. This child seems to feel so close and familiar to me, it is as if…. I had seen him once very long ago. Yun Che… Ah, so your surname is also Yun. I am Yun Xiao’s mother, thank you for saving my Xiao’er.”

  After saying this, Mu Yurou wanted to raise her body slightly, but Yun Che hurriedly stepped forward, “Au… Aunt Yun, please do not salute me. When I first saw Yun Xiao, it was like meeting an old friend. Also we have the same surname, and saving him was as simple as lifting a finger. Moreover, we are preparing to become sworn brothers, so please do not salute this junior in any way whatsoever.”

  “This…” Mu Yurou was slightly startled.

  “Hoho.” Yun Qinghong laughed, and looking at Yun Che, he said, “Yurou, you and I both share this same feeling, like we have seen him somewhere before. Just now, I even said that he looked like me in my youth, or perhaps he really does share some great affinity with our family… Yubai, how did the two of you find out about Xiao’er being ambushed?”

  Mu Yubai sternly declared, “The precious daughter of the Under Heaven family was almost killed. Greatest Ambition Under Heaven would definitely go wild with anger, so this old man quickly learned about this matter, but unfortunately, Yurou also heard it. Hmph…” Mu Yubai’s expression became dark, “Looks like some people think that they’ve been living too comfortably, so they’re in a hurry to court death! This matter has already drawn my attention, and that old dog from the Under Heaven family is definitely even more focused on it. I believe that it will only be a short while before we ferret out these bastards who are clearly tired of living.”

  “I’m just afraid that this current situation is a tad more complicated than what you think it is.” Yun Qinghong said while sighing.

  Mu Yubai’s eyes flashed, “Brother-in-law, did you perceive something?”

  “Let’s turn our minds to other things first.” Yun Qinghong did not want to continue on this topic. His gaze turned to Yun Che an
d he said, “Little brother, is it possible for you to examine my wife’s condition… If you can cure my wife, this Yun will definitely, in this life…”

  “Senior Yun’s words are too serious!” Yun Che swiftly said, interrupting Yun Qinghong mid-speech, “Yun Xiao and I are as close as brothers, Senior Yun and Aunt Yun are like half my family. This junior will definitely put in all of his effort. As for words of politeness or gratefulness, you really don’t need say them.”

  “Yeah, yeah, yeah!” Yun Xiao swiftly nodded his head, “Mother, hurry and sit, and let Brother Yun examine you. Brother Yun is extremely skilled in medical arts. Father’s dead… Pooh! Pooh! I mean Father’s meridians that had been in deep sleep for twenty odd years; Brother Yun woke them all up in less than two hours! Right now, Father is beginning to regain feeling in various parts of his body.”

  “What!” Mu Yubai brows jumped violently, he surged forward and rested his extended hand on top of Yun Qinghong’s shoulder. Quickly, the expression on his face became awash with violent emotions.

  “Big Brother, is it true?” Mu Yurou asked excitedly.

  Mu Yubai released his grip, and slowly nodded his head, saying, “It’s true… His previously dead meridians have completely recovered their vitality. Even though they are still relatively weak, as long as he devotes all his attention to becoming well, in no more than a few years, he can make a full recovery… This is practically a miracle!”

  “This is… true?” Mu Yurou body shook violently, and she was so excited that she nearly fainted on the spot.

  “Hoho. Even though this is my own body, even I myself nearly thought that I was dreaming.” Yun Qinghong slowly lifted both his hands. Although he had calmed down from his previous excitement long ago, his ruddy face still bore traces of it, as it manifested the great waves in his heart, “Right now, I can clearly feel the existence of every single meridian in my body.”

  “All of this is thanks to the efforts of Brother Yun!” Yun Xiao declared with great enthusiasm, “Brother Yun even said that he is confident that he can help father recover not only physically, but also help him recover his profound strength; all within the span of two months.”
