Chapter 167: Chapter 170: The One Who Made the Move

“No way!”

Startled by Elder Yue’s question, Beiqing and Feng Yu both paused in surprise.

They found their master had fainted in the Bath Palace due to an injury and immediately brought him back. How could there have been another Alchemist who had seen to their master’s condition?

Besides, other Alchemists couldn’t heal the injuries within their master’s body!

Both of them shook their heads, but Elder Yue stroked his beard in puzzlement.

“That’s strange then. The pulse in your master’s body is stable, and the main meridian is in the process of slow repair! His condition is much improved from when the injury flared up! Someone must have treated his wounds! Moreover, that person’s alchemy strength is even greater than mine!”

As he said this, he looked at Beiqing and Feng Yu with a face full of bluster and eyes wide with anger!

“To have such an Alchemist and still keep it a secret from me! What, are you afraid I will be jealous and treat that person unfairly? Since you have so little trust in me, I’m leaving!”

With that, he lifted his leg to leave, but Feng Yu pulled him back.

“Wait a minute! Elder Yue, can you please clarify what you mean? Are you saying that our master is okay now, that someone has already treated his wounds?” he asked.

“Yes, that’s right! I just don’t know why she only did half of the treatment. If it weren’t for that, your master would have woken up by now! His current unconsciousness is not due to trouble but because the main meridian in his body is self-repairing!”

Yue Old Taoist said, “That’s why I’m saying that person is more capable than me! At least I can’t make your master’s main meridian heal on its own! And…”

He pointed at Ye Qianming, “The strength of the main meridian within your master’s body has increased! If this continues, he won’t have to worry about life-threatening issues in the future!”

“Alright! I have said all that needs to be said! Since you’re so defensive against me, I–the old man–am not an inconsiderate person. I’ll be on my way now!”

Elder Yue was also a man of strong character.

His medical skills and alchemy strength were incredibly powerful, with many desiring his aid but unable to attain it!

If it weren’t for the curious nature of Ye Qianming’s injury, he wouldn’t have even been here!

And yet they were so guarded against him!

They discovered a method of healing and didn’t tell him!

Fine then! In that case, he would leave on his own. No need to send him off!

“Wait, Elder Yue!”

As he lifted his leg to leave, Feng Yu hurriedly pulled him back again!

“We swear, before Heaven and Earth Divine Soul, that before you, we truly did not invite any other Alchemist to see our master’s injuries! I swear upon the Heaven and Earth Divine Soul!”

As he spoke, he raised his hand, pointing his sword finger to the heavens!

There was not a single stir in the sky, indicating Feng Yu was not lying, and Elder Yue lowered his foot back down.

“Really not?”

“Really not!” Feng Yu said with utter certainty.

Just then, Beiqing also came to his senses, quickly adding, “Elder Yue, it’s true! Otherwise, why would I be so anxious?”

This seemed convincing, as Beiqing, who was always straightforward, certainly did not seem like someone who would lie.

After pondering for a bit, Elder Yue sat back down.

“Then, before your master fainted, had anyone gone in? Also, has something similar happened in the past where his injury suddenly healed?”

Yue Old Taoist wondered if Ye Qianming had accidentally done something to cause his injury to improve unexpectedly.

No sooner did he mention this than Beiqing and Feng Yu immediately exchanged glances, both thinking of the same incident!

“Yes! Elder Yue, something similar has indeed happened before! It was on Jiuyu Mountain! The master said, it was a young girl who healed him!”

“Exactly!”

Both spoke at the same time, spilling the details about Luo Qingtong.
