106: Divine Soul Pill

Seeing Yun Minzi approach, Ouyang Qingcang asked urgently, "Cloud Medical Saint, how is my father's condition?"

His eyes were filled with anxiety and anticipation as he stared intently at Yun Minzi, as if the answer would decide everything.

"Your father's situation is quite unique. He isn't physically injured; rather, his Soul has suffered a heavy blow," Yun Minzi said in a deep voice, his expression serious and his brow slightly furrowed.

"Then does the Cloud Medical Saint have a way to treat the Soul?"

Ouyang Qingcang asked nervously, his voice trembling slightly as fine beads of sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Sigh, though this old man is hailed as having unparalleled medical skills, that is only regarding the Physical Body. Regarding damage to the Soul, I am also powerless."

Yun Minzi let out a sigh, his eyes reflecting a trace of helplessness and regret.

"Father, why not let Yang Lingchen try?"

Ouyang Yunmeng quickly pulled Yang Lingchen over, her eyes filled with expectation and hope.

"Young friend, I heard you can cure the Nine Yin Profound Poison. I wonder if it's true."

When Yun Minzi looked at Yang Lingchen, a kind smile was on his Face. At the same time, he kept his posture very low, not appearing high and mighty at all despite his reputation and status.

"This Junior can indeed cure the Nine Yin Profound Poison."

Yang Lingchen cupped his fists and bowed slightly. He was very respectful toward the highly esteemed Yun Minzi, knowing full well the man's achievements and contributions to the medical dao.

"I have practiced medicine my whole life, yet I alone was helpless against the Nine Yin Profound Poison. I wonder if the technique you used was the Heaven-Defying Yang Restoration Acupuncture?"

Yun Minzi asked solemnly, his gaze fixed on Yang Lingchen as if trying to find the answer in his expression.

"Senior also knows of the Heaven-Defying Yang Restoration Acupuncture?" A hint of surprise appeared in Yang Lingchen's eyes; he hadn't expected Yun Minzi to know of this needle technique.

"I once saw the Heaven-Defying Yang Restoration Acupuncture in a fragmented ancient text. Unfortunately, I was of dull Aptitude and never managed to learn it. It is quite shameful to admit."

Yun Minzi spoke with an embarrassed expression, shaking his head and sighing at his own inability.

"Senior is being modest. You only lacked the Complete Manual of the Heaven-Defying Yang Restoration Acupuncture, which is why you couldn't learn it. If you had studied the complete version, I believe the Nine Yin Profound Poison would not have stumped you either."

Yang Lingchen spoke with a sincere tone, full of respect for Yun Minzi.

"Young friend, I have an audacious request." An embarrassed look appeared on Yun Minzi's Face. He hesitated for a moment but decided to speak up anyway.

"Senior, please speak,"

Yang Lingchen said, his eyes encouraging, signaling Yun Minzi not to worry. "Could you teach me the Heaven-Defying Yang Restoration Acupuncture?" Yun Minzi looked embarrassed, yet he gazed at Yang Lingchen with a hint of anticipation. His heart was very uneasy, not knowing how Yang Lingchen would respond.

"Of course."

Yang Lingchen could see that Yun Minzi was a benevolent physician with a heart for the world. Giving him the Heaven-Defying Yang Restoration Acupuncture would allow him to save even more people. "I am deeply indebted for your great kindness. Please accept this old man's bow." Without hesitation, Yun Minzi knelt directly down, an action that shocked everyone present.

"Revered Master, please get up! He's just a fraud. How old is he anyway? How could he possibly know the Heaven-Defying Yang Restoration Acupuncture?" Ling Tianjun rushed over to support him, his Face full of disdain and doubt.

"You bastard, kneel down for me right now!" Yun Minzi glared fiercely at Ling Tianjun, his eyes burning with anger.

"Revered Master..." Ling Tianjun still wanted to argue.

"Won't you kneel?" Yun Minzi barked again.

"Senior, please get up quickly. This is truly too much for this Junior to bear."

Yang Lingchen hastily helped Yun Minzi up. Then, he took out brush and ink from the haotian jade space and wrote down the key points of the Heaven-Defying Yang Restoration Acupuncture, even including his own insights one by one.

"Senior, this is the complete mnemonic for the Heaven-Defying Yang Restoration Acupuncture, along with some of my personal insights." Having finished, Yang Lingchen handed the newly written mnemonic and key points to Yun Minzi.

"Brilliant, truly too brilliant! Your medical skills are indeed heavenly; I admit my inferiority." After reading the mnemonics and insights Yang Lingchen had written, Yun Minzi was completely convinced.

Yun Minzi could see that the insights Yang Lingchen had written were not something an ordinary person could produce. Even many famous doctors equal to him in reputation couldn't possibly write such profound insights.

At this moment, Ouyang Qingcang was also completely shocked. He hadn't expected that the kid his daughter brought back would actually have medical skills even higher than the Cloud Medical Saint.

"Little brother, I was wrong earlier. Please, for the sake of Ouyang Yunmeng, help take a look at the old man."

Seeing this, Ouyang Qingcang quickly apologized to Yang Lingchen, his attitude becoming very sincere.

"The Old Sect Master's Soul is merely damaged. A single divine soul pill will allow him to recover completely," Yang Lingchen said in a flat tone, as if it were no difficult task at all.

"Young friend, are your words true?"

Now Ouyang Qitian could no longer remain calm. During this period, he had felt increasingly exhausted, and his entire being was nearing the end of its strength.

"Of course." A trace of confidence showed on Yang Lingchen's Face. To him, Soul damage was actually quite simple to handle.

At this point, Yun Minzi asked curiously, "Could it be that you also know Alchemy?" His eyes were full of curiosity and anticipation.

"This Junior does indeed know Alchemy. It just so happens I have all the ingredients for the divine soul pill here; I can refine it for the Old Sect Master right now," Yang Lingchen said, his tone relaxed as if refining pills were as easy as turning his palm.

"Yang Lingchen, are you serious?" Ouyang Yunmeng looked at Yang Lingchen expectantly, her eyes filled with pleasant surprise and disbelief.

"Of course it's true." Yang Lingchen nodded, took the black cauldron out from the haotian jade space, and began refining the pill.

Seeing Yang Lingchen's fluid and natural Alchemy techniques, everyone showed expressions of shock.

Even the proud and conceited Ling Tianjun had to admit at this moment that Yang Lingchen was indeed much more outstanding than him. He stared fixedly at Yang Lingchen's movements, his eyes full of complex emotions.

"This Little Thief is actually quite handsome when he's serious."

Ouyang Yunmeng watched Yang Lingchen with great interest, the corners of her mouth curling up slightly as a ripple of emotion stirred in her heart.

Ouyang Qingcang leaned toward his daughter's ear and whispered, "Yunmeng, this kid is a real talent! Where did you find him?" He kept his voice very low, afraid of being overheard.

"Father, he is a Disciple of my Lingxiu Peak," Ouyang Yunmeng laughed, her eyes full of pride.

"Doesn't your Lingxiu Peak only accept female Disciples?" Ouyang Qingcang asked curiously, his brow furrowed in confusion.

"Isn't the Four Sect Grand Competition coming up? To improve the strength of the Lingxiu Peak Outer Sect Disciples, I had Yuyan take in a male Disciple specifically to serve as a sparring partner and run errands. I didn't expect to pick up such a treasure," Ouyang Yunmeng laughed, secretly celebrating her original decision.

In less than fifteen minutes, a furnace of fragrant Medicinal Pills was produced.

*Hiss.*

Top-grade pills.

Everyone took a deep breath, their Faces showing expressions of shock.

These were top-grade pills! One must know that top-grade pills were extremely difficult to refine, yet Yang Lingchen had succeeded in refining top-grade level pills in a single attempt.

"Young friend Yang is truly a dragon among men. Not only are your medical skills superlative, but you are also a Top-grade Alchemist."

Yun Minzi showed an expression of admiration, his eyes full of praise and wonder.

Yang Lingchen took out one of the top-grade divine soul pills, handed it to Ouyang Qitian, and said, "Old Sect Master, please take it quickly!"

Ouyang Qitian accepted the divine soul pill with a Face full of excitement and swallowed it in one gulp.

"Ah... ah... ah..."

Ouyang Qitian let out a cry of pain, his Face contorted in agony. He immediately sat cross-legged and began refining the divine soul pill.

"Kid, what's going on? If anything happens to my father, this Seat will hack you alive!" Ouyang Qingcang roared in fury, his eyes full of anger and killing intent.

"Sigh... I say, as the dignified Immortal Sword Sect's Sect Master, can't you be a bit more steady? Look at how calm your daughter is; you should learn from her!" Yang Lingchen shook his head in annoyance, looking like he was disappointed in someone who failed to meet expectations. His expression was very calm, not intimidated by Ouyang Qingcang's threat at all.

"Kid, you're looking for death!" Ouyang Qingcang was instantly enraged. As the dignified Revered Master of a sect, he was actually being looked down upon by this kid—how could he possibly endure it?

"Father, look at Grandfather quickly!" At that moment, Ouyang Yunmeng hurriedly pulled back the furious Ouyang Qingcang.

The scene was now deathly silent. They saw that Ouyang Qitian's originally snow-white hair was turning black at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the aura of life on his body was becoming increasingly vigorous.

"Withered wood meeting spring, returning to youth! Old Sect Master Ouyang is about to have a Breakthrough!" Yun Minzi said in shock, his eyes full of pleasant surprise and disbelief.

"Ahem, little brother, I'm truly sorry. I was reckless just now, please bear with me," Ouyang Qingcang said embarrassedly, a hint of a flush appearing on his Face as he felt ashamed of his previous impulse.

"It's fine. This Disciple won't hold it against the Sect Master," Yang Lingchen said with a smile, his eyes full of tolerance and understanding.

"Um, little brother, could you also give me a divine soul pill?"

Ouyang Qingcang asked sheepishly, his eyes full of expectation and longing.
