Today is the last day of August. I thank all my friends for their support and kindness this month. Thank you so much!
========
The air in the room seemed to have solidified, making it impossible to breathe.
The midday sun refracted through the tall, wide glass windows, appearing so cold, devoid of the warmth of early autumn, but rather like a sudden onset of winter, making one's heart tremble and filled with despair.
Sun Woxing suddenly felt old.
A week ago, he felt he was in his prime. He didn't take the age of eighty-one seriously, and he even looked like he was only in his fifties. As a master of the Heavenly Realm, he was confident that he could live for another twenty years and surpass the age of one hundred.
But at this moment, he felt that he was old, truly old. Twenty years, thirty years, this number no longer meant much to him, because the Sun family had no more reserve Heaven-level experts. Perhaps starting with his generation, they would perish and never recover, falling into the ranks of second- or even third-rate families, just like the Yi family of Yanji had experienced over the past few decades.
The Yi family was very fortunate to have found Lin Yao, a highly skilled physician with miraculous medical abilities. Sun Woxing was very envious, even jealous, of Yi Potian's good fortune.
But the Sun family is different. Once they fall from their status as one of the four great families, they will never be able to make a quick comeback like the Yi family of Yanji. Sun Woxing is very certain of this because the Sun family cannot withstand the retaliation of their enemy families. Once there is no Heavenly Realm expert to protect them, if several families with grudges or ulterior motives unite, the Sun family will be finished. Even the most powerful defensive technique in the world will be of no use.
The Yi family of Yanji is a very special family; all of them are crazy and cruel.
They were cruel not only to their enemies but also to themselves. That's why the Yi family was able to stand strong even after losing the support of the Fan family's medical skills. Although they had fallen to the status of a third-rate family, they were still not to be underestimated by the four great families.
The Yi family's fearless and resolute character is something that no other aristocratic family can learn or imitate. This may be closely related to their practice of the "Yi Jin Jue" (Muscle/Tendon Changing Technique). It is precisely because of this character that no aristocratic family is willing to exterminate the Yi family. If they do, the aristocratic family that attacks the Yi family will also suffer heavy losses. If the Yi family manages to escape, there will never be peace again.
The sheer number of Yi family members is their greatest deterrent. Even the Jiang family, their former mortal enemy, dares not easily launch an attack. The few large-scale operations they have undertaken to exterminate Yi family members have relied on various circumstances and social situations to deliver a fatal blow, but each time they have ended hastily due to the intervention of other powerful families.
The intervention of other powerful families was one reason, but the main reason was that the Yi family had not yet used their desperate measures. The suicidal counterattack had not been carried out on a large scale. Once it came to the final moment, the three high-level human-rank Yi family members would be 100% confident in killing the mid-level earth-rank members of other families, and would still have the strength to kill the next mid-level earth-rank martial artist.
Once a member of the Yi family at the Human level 8, 9, or 10 sacrifices his life, he can advance to the early Earth level in a short time. The "Yi Jin Jue" is the most powerful attack technique in the world, allowing one to challenge opponents of higher levels. Once you encounter such an opponent, it is the nightmare of all martial artists.
"Elder..."
Sun Shangqing, the head of the Sun family, appeared at the entrance of the hall. Earlier, because the eldest elder, Sun Woxing, wanted to privately beg Lin Yao to help save people, even he, the head of the family, stayed outside and only brought Sun Miao, the most talented member of the third generation, to meet Lin Yao.
But when Elder Sun Woxing released his Heavenly-level pressure, Sun Shangqing knew that something had changed. He quickly rushed to the gate, but dared not go in. He then saw Elder Sun Woxing looking dejected and depressed.
Sun Shangqing, as the head of the family, was well aware of how important Sun Yitian was to the Sun family, even though he himself was at the peak of the Earth level. However, at the age of 76 and lacking in talent, he himself absolutely could not break through to the Heaven level. In twenty or thirty years, the Sun family would have to rely on Sun Yitian, a Heaven level expert, to hold the line. All other members of the Sun family would find it difficult to advance to the Heaven level. Although there were eight people at the peak of the Earth level, only Sun Yitian had a chance to break through.
The scene before him clearly showed that Sun Yitian could not escape it. The head of the family, Sun Shangqing, felt the responsibility on his shoulders become extremely heavy, making it hard for him to breathe.
"That's enough, that's enough..."
Sun Woxing, looking old and frail, muttered in a low voice, "The Sun family has protected the Yi family for decades. This time, it's time for them to repay the favor. It's also time for the Yi family to protect the Sun family. Bring Elder Yi Potian to Yanji. You stay here and take care of Yi Tian's matter. I will explain to Yi Potian on your behalf."
"Yes, Elder."
Sun Shangqing bowed and agreed, his eyes quickly glancing at Sun Miao, who was still kowtowing incessantly, and he felt a deep sense of sorrow.
"Elder, wait a moment."
Lin Yao's sudden voice startled the three people in the hall. Sun Miao forgot to kowtow, letting the blood flowing from his forehead seep into his eyes, staining the world a blood red.
Unable to contain his excitement, Sun Woxing's body trembled slightly. He turned to look at Lin Yao with longing, saying nothing, his eyes filled with hope.
"I can give it a try. But there's one condition."
Lin Yao's voice was low and deep. Even after Xiao Cao's explanation, he was still unsure. After all, different families had different cultivation methods and different true qi attributes. No one could guarantee whether the "Creation Pill," which directly enhanced the Yi family's true qi, could allow Sun Yitian to quickly enhance his true qi after dispersing his cultivation. His own healing true qi could not be enhanced by the "Creation Pill." It could only be replenished in a state of deficiency, but it could not enhance his cultivation.
Sun Woxing's obese body vanished instantly, reappearing fifty centimeters away from Lin Yao. He involuntarily used the energy of heaven and earth that only a Heaven-level expert could mobilize, but he dared not reach out to grab Lin Yao any longer. At this moment, Lin Yao's status in his heart reached its highest point.
"Elder Lin, please speak! I will agree to any condition you set!"
"No matter what method I take, no one is allowed to object, and no one is allowed to see my treatment process. Of course, Mr. Sun Yitian cannot say anything about it afterward, including you."
Lin Yao's tone suddenly became very serious, "Also, I can't guarantee 100% that he will fully recover his strength. If it fails, I can only guarantee that he can start practicing again, but he will have to start cultivating from scratch. I can only provide some help."
"If you accept these conditions, leave immediately and do not let anyone disturb me. Unless we come out on our own, you will bear all the consequences!"
"Elder Lin, we'll do as you say. The Sun family owes you a favor!"
As soon as Sun Woxing finished speaking, he clasped his hands together and bowed to Lin Yao. Then, with a wave of his arm, Sun Miao, who was still kneeling on the ground staring blankly at everything, disappeared. He also swept the approaching Sun family patriarch, Sun Shangqing, out of the hall.
The hall doors closed. Only the sunlight filtering through the windows remained bright and clear.
"Little Grass, how confident are you? We're now in a tough spot, so don't mess things up."
Lin Yao's voice was full of hesitation. If he couldn't cure Sun Yitian this time, even if he saved his life and allowed him to continue cultivating, the Sun family might still not be satisfied. After all, Lin Yao knew too little about this family and didn't know their character. Just seeing how much the Grand Elder Sun Woxing paid attention to it, he knew that things were not simple.
If the special conscription order were to be issued to Min Hong, even killing Yue Bufan wouldn't be able to bring it back, unless Lin Yao were willing to go against the entire country. But in that case, Min Hong's ideals and goals would be nothing but a bubble, and the final result would likely be that the whole family would emigrate abroad, which is what Lin Yao finds most unacceptable.
"It should be fine, Yaoyao, don't worry. Let's begin. Do you think everyone else's true qi is as high-grade as your medical true qi? At most, it's about the same as the Yi family's true qi. Our 'Creation Pill' is definitely effective."
Xiao Cao reassured Lin Yao with certainty, and took the lead in moving Sun Yitian from the single soft couch to the ground and laying him flat, urging Lin Yao to start the treatment with her actions.
"good!"
Without wasting words, Lin Yao took out three gold needles from his bag and instantly shook them until they became as hard as iron. He slapped Sun Yitian's forehead with his left hand, knocking him unconscious, and quickly inserted the three gold needles into the other man's body with his right hand.
Two needles are inserted into the lower abdomen (Dantian) and one needle is inserted into the chest (Tanzhong acupoint).
The chaotic true energy surging within Sun Yitian's body seemed to have found an outlet, rapidly dissipating from the three golden needles. The entire hall was as if it had been hit by a tornado, with everything being severely damaged by an invisible and intangible aura. Even the nearby soft couches turned into dust, the wooden blocks into wood chips, and the sponge face into shredded cloth.
"I'll do it."
