Urban Martial Saint

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Ye Qing in unison, finally understanding why Ye Qing’s meridians were so fragile.

”In medicine, excessive use of drugs is poison!” Bai Li Xi said solemnly, ”Old Ghost Ning used the Regenerative Elixir to easily help Ye Qing mend his broken meridians. However, this also presented a major problem. Repairing meridians requires very little medicinal effect, which means that almost none of the Regenerative Elixir’s effects have been consumed and have accumulated inside Ye Qing’s body. Moreover, if I’m not mistaken, these effects are all sedimented within Ye Qing’s meridians. With these medicines nourishing them, Ye Qing’s meridians are perpetually in a regenerative state, naturally making them incredibly fragile!”

”I see!” Everyone suddenly realized. Shen Tianjun glanced at Ye Qing and said, ”That’s why his meridians appear to be much more fragile than those of a normal person, unable to withstand much power. So, that’s why.”

”Ning Qianshu, you gave Ye Qing the Regenerative Elixir, but didn’t you help him to draw out the excess medicinal power?” Ding Lianshun asked sternly.

”At that time, friend and foe were indistinguishable. Saving him was already a kindness; should I not keep some cards up my sleeve?” Ning Qianshu replied seriously, ”Don’t forget, Ye Qing is very close to the Seven Steering Committees of Hong Alliance. Moreover, he has the entire Inner Strength of Northern Fist King Li Changqing within him. If he releases all this strength, he will become a peak master!”

Although Ning Qianshu said this in front of everyone, no one could refute him. After all, both sides were in a confrontational state, each working for their own interests, which was understandable.

”Why is the elixir refined by Divine Doctor An Shiping so powerful?” Helian Tiehua asked in astonishment, ”It seems like anyone who takes this elixir will have an excess of medicinal effects!”

”The Regenerative Elixir wasn’t originally refined to save severely injured people.” Bai Li Xi shook his head, saying, ”Master refined this elixir with the original intention of resurrecting the dead. To revive a corpse, this kind of medicinal effect might not even be enough.”

The crowd suddenly understood, no wonder the medicinal effect was so strong, because it was not intended for the living.

”Since we know the reason, it makes things easier!” Shen Tianjun said, ”Mr. Ning, now that we are all on the same boat, everyone should be honest. To deal with the Corpse Ghost Dragon, we must infinitely enhance our power. Only then can we be more confident in opposing the Corpse Ghost Dragon. Mr. Ning, why not help Ye Qing draw out the excess medicinal power?”

Everyone looked at Ning Qianshu in unison, who was silent for a moment, slowly nodded, and said, ”To deal with the Corpse Ghost Dragon, I will help Ye Qing, but other matters will have to wait!”

”Mr. Ning, your kindness in helping me, I will remember it.” Ye Qing said calmly, ”If we meet on the battlefield in the future, and you are unfortunate enough to fall into my hands, I will let you go once!”

”I will remember your words!” Ning Qianshu nodded and walked straight to Ye Qing’s side, taking out a pile of golden needles from the small bag he carried.

”To draw out the medicinal effect of the Regenerative Elixir, golden needles must be used to guide them for the best effect.” Bai Li Xi explained while walking to Ning Qianshu’s side, also supervising Ning Qianshu to prevent him from leaving any other tricks in Ye Qing’s body.

At this moment, Ning Qianshu was genuinely focused. Having met Divine Doctor An Shiping previously, his mindset had greatly changed. For the sake of dealing with the Corpse Ghost Dragon, he dared not harbor other thoughts.

”Extend your right hand!” Ning Qianshu ordered and arranged the golden needles, then grabbed Ye Qing’s right hand. After feeling his pulse for half a minute, Ning Qianshu’s expression suddenly changed and he urgently said, ”Wrong! Wrong! Wrong!”

”What’s wrong?” Ning Qianshu’s three shouts of ’wrong’ left everyone amazed, even Bai Li Xi couldn’t help but come over and ask curiously, ”What happened? What’s wrong?”

”Try it yourself.” Ning Qianshu stepped aside, Bai Li Xi approached, grabbed Ye Qing’s right hand, felt it for a while, and his expression also changed, saying curiously, ”How could this be?”

”What on earth is wrong?” Shen Tianjun couldn’t help asking, while Huangfu Ziyu also stood beside Ye Qing with a worried expression.

”The medicinal effect of the Regenerative Elixir inside him, why has it changed?” Bai Li Xi said seriously, ”The effect of the Regenerative Elixir is to regenerate the body. But now, the medicinal effect inside him has become stronger than before.”

”How has it become stronger?” Huangfu Ziyu asked urgently.

”Now, the effect of that Rebirth Pill in his body can even strengthen his physique!” Ning Qianshu frowned and exchanged a glance with Bai Li Xi, both of them filled with shock.

”What do you mean? Strengthen the body?” Shen Tianjun exclaimed in astonishment, ”How does it strengthen the body?”

Bai Li Xi glanced at Shen Tianjun and said softly, ”Everyone present here are all Peak Masters, so I might as well be frank with you. We all know that a Peak Master signifies the pinnacle of human strength, a title given when one’s Inner Strength reaches the highest realm. Beyond the acme, there’s no one else, and this is the origin of the term Peak Master!”

Everyone nodded. As Peak Masters themselves, they naturally understood the meaning. When one’s strength reaches the level of a Peak Master, the Inner Strength is the same; at that point, the focus turns to comprehend the Heavenly Dao. For example, the Secret Techniques left by Patriarch Bodhidharma are manifestations of the Heavenly Dao, resulting in techniques of formidable power.

”But, do you all know why Peak Masters represent the pinnacle of human strength?” Bai Li Xi asked.

The crowd exchanged looks, and Shen Tianjun after a brief moment of silence, said, ”After reaching the peak, no matter how much one trains, the Inner Strength can no longer ascend. Therefore, throughout history, it’s been common knowledge that the acme is the pinnacle of human strength. However, why it can’t ascend further, no one knows!”

”My Master studied this matter,” Bai Li Xi said. ”The reason Peak Masters cannot increase in Inner Strength is that at this stage, the Meridians become the strongest and cannot be further enhanced. The Meridians are the carriers of Inner Strength, and if they cannot strengthen, the Inner Strength naturally doesn’t increase. This is the fundamental reason why there’s no one after reaching the peak!”

The audience came to a sudden realization, and Bai Li Xi continued with a serious tone, ”Now, Ye Qing’s situation is somewhat different. For some unknown reason, the Rebirth Pill’s effect in his body has changed, actually beginning to strengthen his Meridians.”

”Strengthen the Meridians? What does this mean?” Shen Tianjun asked urgently, sensing that Ye Qing had undoubtedly gained some benefit.

”To put it simply, Ye Qing’s Meridians will become even stronger than those of a Peak Master!” Bai Li Xi looked at everyone and said softly, ”As long as his Meridians fully stabilize, his future accomplishments will surpass those of Peak Masters, standing above them!”

”Ah?” The crowd exclaimed in unison, even Ye Qing was stunned. Previously having such strength was already shocking enough. Unexpectedly, Bai Li Xi now uttered such words, truly shaking everyone!

Throughout history, it has been confirmed that beyond the acme, no stronger individual existed. Could it be that this age-old notion, passed down for thousands of years, is about to be completely overturned? Will a master even stronger than peak arise?

”Don’t look at me, I have no idea how this happened!” Bai Li Xi shrugged, ”The Rebirth Pill does indeed work within Young Ye’s body, but the effect clearly changed, seemingly adding another ingredient. What that is, I can’t figure out now. However, it’s certain that it’s best not to trigger the effect of the Rebirth Pill within him now. Otherwise, the enhancement of his Meridians will cease here and cannot progress further. If this effect is fully absorbed by him, I believe that in this era, we will witness someone beyond the pinnacle!”

Hearing these words, the people present were filled with excitement, surprise, and shock. The most shocked was Ning Qianshu, who initially gave Ye Qing the Rebirth Pill with the intent to trick him. Who would have thought such a situation would arise afterward? Is Ye Qing about to become the first Beyond The Pinnacle individual?

Of course, those familiar with Ye Qing were naturally very excited. For Ye Qing to possess Beyond The Pinnacle strength was not only shocking but extraordinarily exciting. If Ye Qing could reach such strength, who in the world could rival him once he rose to power?

”That’s not right!” Ding Lianshun suddenly interjected, ”Mr. Bai Li, if you say Ye Qing’s Meridians are being strengthened, then why can’t his Meridians endure much now? Whenever he endures too much power, his Meridians still break?”

”That question is utterly foolish!” Bai Li Xi scolded, ”His Meridians are indeed strengthening, but there’s a major issue: the Rebirth Pill’s effects haven’t been exhausted. While the Rebirth Pill resides in his body, his Meridians are in a growing state, strengthening but still fragile, naturally leading to them breaking under strain!”

Ding Lianshun appeared embarrassed. He was so shocked by the news of Ye Qing’s Meridians enhancing that his mind was momentarily muddled. Bai Li Xi’s explanation made things clear to him.

”Ning Qianshu, how did you manage to further strengthen one’s Meridians?” Ding Lianshun curiously asked Ning Qianshu.

Everyone promptly turned to look at Ning Qianshu, eager to know the answer. If this issue could be resolved, Peak Masters would no longer represent the barrier of human limitations.

”How the hell should I know!” Ning Qianshu couldn’t help but curse. Had he known the effects, he would never have given Ye Qing the Rebirth Pill. He would have taken it himself to surpass the Peak Masters! Why should such an unprecedented opportunity be wasted on someone else? He also wanted to become Beyond The Pinnacle!
