123: Chapter 123 Foreign Tribes
"Then what about now? Is there any other way?"
Nangong Wentian was a bit nervous; he was worried about receiving a negative answer.
"Of course, it's just a bit more complicated by comparison, but it's not difficult. Please lie down on the sofa first, and I will treat you right now."
Hearing Xiao Yuchen's answer, Nangong Wentian let out a sigh of relief. He had lived for nearly a hundred years and had long since disregarded life and death, but he could not die. Because once he died, those foreign factions would definitely become even more rampant.
"Good, then I will trouble you, young friend."
Nangong Wentian was a bit excited and lay down on the sofa.
"Please take off your upper garment; I need to perform acupuncture on you."
"Alright." Nangong Wentian did not hesitate at all and took off his upper garment.
Once Nangong Wentian was ready, Xiao Yuchen used the Thirteen Needles for Expelling Injuries. This acupuncture technique was not complicated, but it had a very good effect on treating internal injuries.
Xiao Yuchen took a deep breath, then used his Qi to guide the needles. Very quickly, he inserted thirteen silver needles into the thirteen Acupoints on Nangong Wentian's back.
After leaving the needles in for five minutes, Xiao Yuchen pulled them out one by one.
"Alright, how do you feel?" Xiao Yuchen asked.
Nangong Wentian did not speak, but instead circulated his True Qi. He was surprised to find that his internal injuries had healed by more than half, and there was no longer any feeling of True Qi obstruction.
Noticing the changes in his body, Nangong Wentian replied very excitedly: "Young friend, your Medical Skills are too miraculous. Before this, I saw many doctors, but they couldn't even determine what illness I had. Although the doctors with a martial arts background could see that I had suffered internal injuries, they were unable to treat them at all."
"It's nothing. Your internal injuries have been mostly healed by me, but they still require further recuperation. This is a blood-stasis dispersing pill that I refined. Take one pill every day, and after seven days, you will be completely recovered."
"I have yet to repay you for saving my granddaughter, and now you have helped me treat my internal injuries. This kindness is truly too heavy. These Medicinal Pills must be very expensive, right? How about this, I will just pay to purchase them."
As the actual controller of the Nangong Family, money was just a number to Nangong Wentian.
"Are you making fun of me? You are the guardian deity of the Great Xia Kingdom; how could I take your money? Besides, do you think I am short of money?" Xiao Yuchen politely refused.
"Good, since that is the case, I will not stand on ceremony. In the future, if there is anywhere you need me, just speak up." Nangong Wentian laughed heartily.
"Well, you are too polite. You have done so much for the Great Xia Kingdom, so I should help you. The Great Xia Kingdom needs heroes like you to protect it, so I will give you this youth-preserving pill. You are the first person to whom I have actively gifted a pill."
Xiao Yuchen took out another jade bottle, which contained a Medium Grade youth-preserving pill.
"This is the youth-preserving pill? Does such a miraculous Medicinal Pill really exist in the world?"
Nangong Wentian was a bit excited. Before he came, he had heard of the youth-preserving pill, but he had always been skeptical about it.
"Yes, this is a Medium Grade youth-preserving pill. After taking it, you can restore your youth, and it can also extend your life by two hundred years. Consider this a reward for your protection of Great Xia."
"Is this real? Can it really restore my youth?"
Nangong Wentian was extremely excited, and his voice was even trembling. This trip to Jiangcheng not only healed his internal injuries, but also allowed him to restore his youth, and incidentally, he had found his granddaughter's savior. It was truly a trip well worth taking.
"Of course it is real. Many people around me have taken the youth-preserving pill. Those people outside are the heads of The Three Great Families of Jiangcheng; they are all in their sixties, but they have only become young because they took the youth-preserving pill."
"Good, great kindness needs no thanks. I, Nangong Wentian, will use all my life's strength to protect the prosperity of Great Xia. Those who offend Great Xia, even if they are far away, must be punished."
"Well, with a guardian deity like you here, why should Great Xia worry about not prospering?"
Xiao Yuchen was not flattering him. Although he would definitely be stronger than Nangong Wentian in the future, he was pursuing the path of immortal cultivation and could not stay on Earth forever. Great Xia needed more guardian deities like Nangong Wentian to exist.
"For a young friend to be able to fight against a Martial God expert at such a young age, your future achievements will definitely be higher than mine. Great Xia has successors now."
Nangong Wentian patted Xiao Yuchen on the shoulder, his admiration overflowing.
"Senior Nangong, was your injury caused by people from foreign factions? Can you tell me about these foreign factions?"
Xiao Yuchen had not yet found a way to go to the Cultivation World and certainly could not leave Earth in the short term. He wanted to learn more about the foreign factions; if they dared to harass Great Xia again, Xiao Yuchen wouldn't mind taking action to suppress them.
"Well, you are considered a member of my Martial Arts Association, so I can naturally tell you. Besides, I often need to guard Great Xia, and in the future, if anyone harasses my Great Xia, I hope you, young friend, can help out."
Then, Nangong Wentian told Xiao Yuchen all about the foreign factions.
It turned out that in recent years, the Great Xia Kingdom had developed rapidly and was at the forefront in many fields. This had shaken the status of some hegemonic countries, making them feel uneasy.
In order to ensure their dominant position, some hegemonic countries united to sanction Great Xia and restrict its development.
At first, it was just economic and trade wars, but later it evolved into territorial disputes, especially with Country M and the Wa nation.
The super-powered warriors of Country M and the ninjas of the Wa nation even came to the borders of Great Xia to provoke them.
Some time ago, several members of the Martial Arts Association stationed at the border had a conflict with the ninjas of the Wa nation and were detained by them. After receiving the news, Nangong Wentian went to check on it himself but fell into their ambush.
Ninjas are divided into eight Ranks based on their mastery of the Five Elements techniques: Ordinary Ninja, Low Ninja, Mid Ninja, High Ninja, Human Ninja, Earth Ninja, Heavenly Ninja, and God Ninja.
Because ninjutsu and martial arts are different Cultivation systems, their strength is not equivalent. A Heavenly Ninja is equivalent to the strength of a Martial God, while a God Ninja is equivalent to the strength of a Martial Saint.
This time, ten Heavenly Ninjas and three God Ninjas besieged Nangong Wentian. Although their strength was not stronger than Nangong Wentian's, those ninjas would not fight him head-on; instead, they used techniques to dodge and then launch sneak attacks.
Nangong Wentian was struck by a sword during a sneak attack by one of the Late Stage God Ninjas, causing serious internal injuries. Fortunately, personnel from the Martial Arts Association eventually came to the rescue, allowing Nangong Wentian to escape a disaster.
Hearing Nangong Wentian's words, Xiao Yuchen was also burning with anger. These Wa nation ninjas were too excessive; not only did they violate the territory of Great Xia, but they even plotted to harm the guardian deity of Great Xia. They truly deserved to die.
"If I encounter those guys in the future, I will definitely deal with them."
The combat power of ninjas is mainly reflected in sneak attacks. If it were based purely on strength, I estimate that a God Ninja would only be equivalent to the strength of a Martial God.
Moreover, Nangong Wentian and others might feel that ninjutsu is troublesome, but Xiao Yuchen certainly would not, because he has Divine Sense. In front of Divine Sense, all ninjutsu would lose its effect.
After chatting with Nangong Wentian for a while more, the two exchanged contact information, and Nangong Wentian left. As the guardian deity of Great Xia, he had many things to do.
When Xiao Yuchen arrived downstairs, those people from the Magic City had already left, leaving only Zhou Tiancheng and the others.
However, seeing Zhou Tiancheng and the others looking at him with strange expressions, Xiao Yuchen was also confused.
