Chapter 589: Xiangcheng in Danger!
These spirit stones, indeed have a problem!
Using them to cultivate is like drinking poison to extend one’s life.
A dead end!
“Crack…”
Method Yu applied slight force with his right hand, crushing the spirit stone in his palm.
The spiritual energy within released, making a faint sound.
To be honest, even if these spirit stones had no other issues, their quality was extremely poor.
Using them for cultivation would not provide much benefit.
Long ago, Method Yu’s master had warned him to absorb spiritual energy existing in nature whenever possible, rather than using external objects like spirit stones.
Because the spiritual energy contained within spirit stones is often impure.
If one’s cultivation method isn’t strong enough, problems easily arise.
Su Lengyun’s current situation precisely confirmed what his master had said back then.
“Method Yu, is Master’s condition serious?” Liu Liansha couldn’t help asking.
“Her life can be preserved,” Method Yu said.
“Her life… but what about her cultivation?” Liu Liansha asked, her face pale.
Though she didn’t know much, she had heard that when practitioners encounter problems during cultivation, the consequences are usually severe.
“The meridians in her body are severely damaged. Whether they can be repaired remains uncertain,” Method Yu answered honestly.
“How could this happen…” Liu Liansha murmured, her eyes reddening.
For any martial artist, cultivation is as precious as life itself.
The disciples had all witnessed how hard Su Lengyun worked on her cultivation.
If Su Lengyun lost all her cultivation… she certainly wouldn’t be able to accept it.
“Whoosh!”
Just as the disciples’ hearts were pounding, Lin Batian’s figure appeared in the secret chamber.
“Cangxi Immortal is quite decent. As soon as I asked, he gave me a bunch of medicinal herbs without hesitation,” Lin Batian said, handing Method Yu a pill that emitted a rich medicinal fragrance.
This was a high-grade Great Recovery Pill.
“It’s a pity the time was so urgent. If I could have found a better furnace, I could have refined a supreme-grade Great Recovery Pill for better effect,” Lin Batian said. “But her injury isn’t fatal, so a high-grade pill is more than sufficient.”
Method Yu placed the Great Recovery Pill in Su Lengyun’s mouth, using his true energy to help dissolve it. The medicinal power quickly entered Su Lengyun’s body.
After about ten seconds, Su Lengyun’s tightly closed eyelids trembled slightly, and she soon opened her eyes.
Seeing Method Yu before her, Su Lengyun’s expression changed subtly.
“Master!”
Liu Liansha and Ru Qing immediately ran forward.
“Master, how do you feel?” Liu Liansha asked.
“I’m… fine,” Su Lengyun’s voice was very weak.
“Alright, you two should leave now,” Method Yu said.
Liu Liansha and Ru Qing’s expressions changed, but they dared not disobey Method Yu’s order. They only looked at Su Lengyun a few more times before retreating.
Su Lengyun looked at Lin Batian standing behind Method Yu, her eyes showing confusion.
“I’m his old friend. My name is Lin Batian,” Lin Batian smiled slightly, introducing himself.
“Hello, I’m Su Lengyun, I’m Brother Yu’s…” Su Lengyun’s words faltered.
“I understand, I understand. You already call him Brother Yu, I know your relationship, hehe,” Lin Batian said with a chuckle.
“I must tell you the truth about your condition,” Method Yu spoke up.
Su Lengyun looked at Method Yu and said softly, “I know, I experienced a cultivation deviation and my meridians are severely damaged.”
“No, this isn’t your fault. It’s a problem with those spirit stones,” Method Yu said, coldness appearing in his eyes.
“Those spirit stones…” Su Lengyun’s expression changed slightly.
Those spirit stones were sent by the Xiangcheng Martial Arts Association. What could be wrong with them?
“We’ll consider the spirit stone issue later. Right now, we need to focus on repairing your meridians,” Method Yu said.
Repairing meridians is extremely difficult, even harder than mending bones.
In terms of modern medicine, the difficulty would be comparable to a head transplant surgery.
But even though it’s very difficult, it’s not impossible.
“I’m skilled at repairing meridians. Let me do it,” Lin Batian spoke up.
“No, repairing meridians requires a massive amount of true energy. You’re already just a consciousness; this would accelerate your…” Method Yu shook his head.
“This isn’t about whether it can be done or not, but that it must be done by me. This young lady is almost at the Yuan Ying stage. Her meridians can’t be repaired conventionally, or they’ll easily rupture again later,” Lin Batian said. “In her condition, the meridians must be repaired and reinforced with true energy…”
“This is something you can’t do… I know your medical skills are no worse than mine, but your realm limits your abilities.”
“So, let me handle this.”
What Lin Batian said was indeed correct.
Method Yu could repair Su Lengyun’s meridians, but it would be like taping torn paper back together—not true restoration.
To truly repair meridians, one must connect with heaven and earth, invoke the power of natural laws, and regenerate the meridian walls.
Method Yu’s current realm precisely limited this ability.
Method Yu looked at Lin Batian, wanting to say more.
“It’s fine. I’ve been to many places recently, seen the scenery, had a few fights—it’s been quite a good experience,” Lin Batian said. “Staying a few more days wouldn’t have much practical meaning anyway.”
Method Yu didn’t say anything more.
Given his relationship with Lin Batian, nothing more needed to be said.
“Go ahead and begin. I’ll stand guard for you,” Method Yu said.
“Yes, I’ll need about ten days. During this time, there can’t be any disturbances, or all efforts will be wasted,” Lin Batian said.
Method Yu nodded and walked outside the secret chamber.
Lin Batian sat down in meditation and said to Su Lengyun, “Young lady, you’ll need to sleep for a while. I’ll wake you when I’m done.”
“Mm,” Su Lengyun responded.
Since Lin Batian was Method Yu’s friend, she had no doubts.
Lin Batian extended a finger and touched Su Lengyun’s smooth forehead.
Su Lengyun slowly closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
Lin Batian formed his right hand into a palm and placed it on Su Lengyun’s forehead.
His palm emitted a white light, and gentle true energy entered Su Lengyun’s body, attaching to her meridians and beginning the delicate repair work.
Method Yu leaned against the door of the secret chamber, deep in thought.
These spirit stones were sent by the Xiangcheng Martial Arts Association.
So, did the Xiangcheng Martial Arts Association tamper with them? Was Zhao Jidao aware?
This seemed unlikely. The current Zhao Jidao wouldn’t dare provoke Method Yu.
The Xiangcheng Martial Arts Association had no reason to target Frost Cold Palace.
The mastermind must be someone else.
Method Yu’s eyes were ice-cold.
He felt that Su Lengyun’s situation was very likely because of him.
Someone wanted to deal with Method Yu but didn’t dare confront him directly, so they targeted people close to him instead.
This was the behavior Method Yu hated most.
He would definitely find the mastermind and deal with them in the most brutal way.
…
Xiangcheng, Martial Arts Association Hall.
The hall was in chaos.
Groups of people were continuously disappearing and reappearing in various parts of Xiangcheng!
In just two or three days, the number of missing people was roughly estimated to exceed twenty thousand!
And this trend and speed were rapidly increasing!
Facing this situation, the Xiangcheng Martial Arts Association called an emergency meeting.
“President, the situation is out of control. Today alone, thirteen regional subordinate associations requested our support… Even our headquarters in Nandu has experienced several incidents… We must report to the Yancheng Martial Arts Association and request assistance now,” Vice President Huang Lin said, his face pale.
“Yes, President, if we don’t request help soon, the situation will become uncontrollable.”
“President…”
All the senior officials unanimously advocated for requesting assistance from the Yancheng Martial Arts Association.
But Zhao Jidao, who usually responded quickly, was behaving very abnormally this time.
As disappearances continued to increase, he insisted on keeping it confidential and not reporting it!
As a result, the situation had intensified in just one day!
Zhao Jidao looked at these senior officials, his expression calm, and said, “I’ve already said, we cannot request assistance yet. As for the subordinate associations’ requests, we’ll reject them and hold our position for now.”
“Why? President, if we don’t do something, the situation will truly spiral out of control! Civilians will soon realize what’s happening around them, which will inevitably cause chaos…” Huang Lin said urgently, sweating profusely.
Zhao Jidao glanced at Huang Lin and said, “You think I don’t want to request assistance?”
