The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 379: Chapter 379 Diagnosis Chapter 379: Chapter 379 Diagnosis Old Master Zhou, named Zhou Tian, was also a highly respectable figure on the Heavenly Origin Continent.

Even Pill King Ji Yue from Pill Country, who was rather indifferent towards Commandery Prince Zhou Shangyun, held Zhou Tian in high awe.

At that moment, Zhou Tian was smiling warmly, sizing up Jing Yan with great interest.

His gaze seemed to possess a power that could penetrate the heart, rendering Jing Yan too wary to make any rash moves.

Jing Yan stood there, completely honest and still.

“There’s really nothing important here!

What’s there to prevent entry?

Although I don’t recognize this young man, he is a friend of my granddaughter Bai Xue, which makes him my friend,” Zhou Tian said with a laugh.

With Old Master Zhou having no objections, how could anyone else speak up?

However, Zhou Tian’s words were truly exasperating: His granddaughter’s friend is his friend?

What kind of logic was that?

Of course, people like Xu Dong and Lu Ru felt displeasure in their hearts.

That was certain.

Even Commandery Prince Zhou Shangyun must have felt somewhat irked.

After all, he had just personally instructed Jing Yan not to enter, and now Jing Yan was here, which seemed an affront to his dignity.

But given the circumstances, he found it inappropriate to express his anger openly.

“Old Master, shall I take a look at you now?” Ji Yue asked with a smile.

“Sure!

Mr.

Ji Yue, please feel no pressure.

My ailment isn’t significantly serious.

It would be best if you can solve it, but there will be no issue if you can’t,” Zhou Tian cheerfully replied.

“Rest assured, Old Master, I will do my utmost,” Ji Yue replied humbly.

He didn’t claim full confidence, and of course, he didn’t dare speak rashly before Zhou Tian.

If he made grand promises and then failed to solve the problem, it would be terribly embarrassing.

However, Ji Yue had considerable confidence in his abilities.

After all, he was an alchemist from Pill Country.

Although his status in Pill Country wasn’t particularly high, alchemists arriving in a place like Lanqu County from Pill Country would surely be viewed as extraordinary figures on the Alchemy Dao.

Even the President of the Lanqu County City Alchemist Association, Li Xingjiu, aspired to go to Pill Country for further study.

Pill Country was the dreamland for all alchemists.

Previously, Zhou Shangyun had briefed him about the issue: Zhou Tian’s troubles stemmed from his Martial Arts Meridians.

For a martial artist, the Martial Arts Meridians and the Fog Vortex were crucial.

If there were problems in these realms, they couldn’t possibly be trivial and would greatly impact a martial artist.

Ji Yue had a good understanding of the Martial Arts Meridians.

He had seen numerous martial artists with issues in their meridians.

Although he had not yet thoroughly examined Zhou Tian’s condition, Ji Yue already had at least five or six possible solutions in mind.

He knew of many elixirs that had miraculous effects on replenishing martial artists’ damaged meridians.

Ji Yue then began to take action.

Everyone in the room watched Ji Yue, including Jing Yan.

Jing Yan was also curious about what this alchemical powerhouse from Pill Country was capable of.

Ji Yue’s body began to emit a cloud of Foggy Primordial Energy that slowly reached out to envelop Zhou Tian.

Without Zhou Tian’s permission, Ji Yue would not dare to do this.

His Primordial Energy entered Zhou Tian’s body, sensing the state of the Martial Arts Meridians within.

Zhou Tian, at this moment, appeared completely indifferent as if he did not care about the Primordial Energy from Ji Yue.

This calmness impressed Jing Yan.

Being invaded by someone else’s Primordial Energy was not something most people could face with equanimity.

If Ji Yue had malicious intentions, he could take this opportunity to inflict severe damage on Zhou Tian.

Even though Zhou Tian might be much stronger than Ji Yue, with Ji Yue’s Primordial Energy already inside his body, even if he reacted swiftly, it would be very difficult to expel the energy before it could do harm.

Therefore, Zhou Tian’s composure was not an act and could not be easily feigned.

After the time it took to brew a pot of tea, Ji Yue withdrew his Primordial Energy, his brow furrowed.

Clearly, the issue with Zhou Tian’s Martial Arts Meridians was not as easy to resolve as he had hoped.

“Mr.

Ji Yue, how is it?” Zhou Shangyun immediately inquired.

His father could appear as if the problem was of little significance.

But Zhou Shangyun, as a son, couldn’t be so relaxed, knowing full well the seriousness of his father’s condition in his Martial Arts Meridians.

There were over a hundred main meridians in a martial artist’s body, and about a third of Zhou Tian’s primary meridians were already blocked.

What did this mean?

It meant that Zhou Tian’s strength was severely limited.

If it were only a matter of restricted strength, it might not be too serious, but the real concern was the continuous erosion of Zhou Tian’s other Martial Arts Meridians.

Initially, only a few meridians in Central Heaven displayed problems with blockages, but within a few short months, the blockages spread to about a third of them.

It was clear that if the issue could not be resolved, it wouldn’t be long before all of Zhou Tian’s Martial Arts Meridians became clogged.

Then, Zhou Tian’s formidable Cultivation would become entirely unexpressable.

Hearing Zhou Shangyun’s question, Ji Yue’s brow did not relax as he looked at Zhou Tian and then at Zhou Shangyun.

“Prince, it seems that Old Master’s Martial Arts Meridians are congested with a strange force.

This force is extremely domineering and continues to erode the Martial Arts Meridians,” said Ji Yue slowly.

One had to admit, Ji Yue truly was an alchemist of substance.

Hearing this, Zhou Shangyun’s eyes lit up.

He knew that what Ji Yue said was very close to the actual situation.

If an alchemist like Ji Yue could grasp this so quickly, perhaps he might indeed have a way to solve the problem.

The abilities of alchemists from Pill Country were indeed exceptional!

“Mr.

Ji Yue, do you have a solution?” Zhou Shangyun asked, a bit eagerly.

Being a rather straightforward person, Zhou Shangyun may be the Commandery Prince of Lanqu County City and the Controller of its entire region, but his hot-tempered nature hadn’t changed over the years.

“Prince, I won’t conceal from you that although I can sense the strange energy within the Old Master’s Martial Arts Meridians, I cannot discern what this energy is or how it originated.

Therefore, I’m afraid I can’t directly refine an elixir that would resolve the matter permanently,” Ji Yue stated with furrowed brows and a grave tone.

“How about this, let the other alchemists take a look.

Everyone think of a solution, and perhaps we can come up with a better plan,” Ji Yue suggested, glancing at alchemists like Li Xingjiu in the room.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Shangyun nodded.

The reason he had invited the strongest alchemists of Lanqu County City was precisely for this purpose.
