“Elder Sun, the medicine Xu Fan mentioned isn’t just any ordinary medicine; it’s the elixir he personally concocted!” Elder Lin said from the side, stroking his long beard to emphasize his point.

Seeing his old friend awaken from a coma, Lin Yaoshi was exceptionally overjoyed at the moment.

Xu Fan truly was a treasure of a boy. Lin Yaoshi’s intuition had not been wrong, as he managed to rouse the comatose Elder Sun when everyone else was at a loss.

Others might not know the difficulty of this feat, but Lin Yaoshi was acutely aware. Even he, a grandmaster physician, had been at his wits’ end, unable to diagnose Elder Sun’s illness. Yet, when Xu Fan arrived, he promptly forced out the evil spirit within Elder Sun.

“Elder Lin, when will the medicinal ingredients arrive?” Xu Fan asked, holding the Jade Gourd in his hands.

“I’ll urge them again, they should be here very soon,” Lin Yaoshi said as he picked up the phone to expedite his family’s medicine delivery lad.

Xu Fan, holding the somewhat blackened Jade Gourd, walked over to Elder Sun.

“Elder, what kind of person did you fight with to receive your injuries?” Xu Fan asked slowly.

“Are you asking about the injury I sustained in my youth or the one before I fell ill?” Elder Sun propped himself up with a pillow, supporting his frail body, and asked Xu Fan.

“Tell me about both episodes; it will help with my diagnosis,” Xu Fan said seriously.

“Alright, I was injured once in my youth. My opponent back then came from a sect on an island off the East Sea. Although they aren’t considered a major sect in the martial arts community of Yan Country, they were nevertheless very strong.”

“Back then, I was a hot-blooded young man. Having just advanced from the Strong Body Energy to the Conditioning Body Energy realm of martial artists, I was somewhat arrogant, thinking I was the best wherever I went. Looking back, if I had restrained myself a bit more during my youth, I wouldn’t have left hidden injuries in my body that caused my cultivation to stall for so many years, getting severely ill and almost losing my life,” Elder Sun reminisced about his younger years with a touch of regret.

“That martial artist from the East Sea couldn’t even speak the common tongue of Yan Country and carried a strong, unpleasant odor of the sea. When I first encountered him, he had also just advanced to the Conditioning Body Energy realm. Back then, I and my beloved, Li Hua’s mother, were dating, and this country bumpkin from the East Sea, probably never having been to a big city before, dressed in a shabby manner. He bumped into Li Hua’s mother on the street.”

“I was young and impetuous at that time, seeing that fool standing there dumbly without apologizing. Assuming superiority with my higher skill, I went over to grab him, intending to make him apologize to Li Hua’s mother. Thinking back, I realize I was rash. The man had just arrived in the big city and was completely unaware of our urban etiquettes. It wasn’t intentional on his part to bump into someone.”

“But at that moment, I was eager to show off in front of Li Hua’s mother and didn’t think things through. As a result, the two of us clashed. Once violence ensued, he recognized me as a martial artist, and I recognized him as one too. If he had been a properly trained martial artist from Yan Country’s martial arts community, he would have shown some restraint because above us is the Flame Dragon Organization, and martial artists typically seek resolution without resorting to conflict for minor issues.”

“However, this young and naive martial artist from the East Sea had no knowledge of such codes. When I exerted a bit of martial force, he must have felt threatened and immediately fought back. Our strengths were similar, but as a descendant of the Sun Family, I had more techniques and treasures. Just as I was about to win, this dimwit risked heavy injury to land a blow with his Water Dividing Stinger right at my Dantian.”

“Afterward, that dimwit from the East Sea vanished with his serious injuries, and I only suffered minor wounds. The only issue was his desperate attack with the Water Dividing Stinger, which left me feeling cold all year round, even in summer, forcing me to turn on the heating. ”

“My progress in the Martial Dao Realm stalled since. I was once known as a cultivation genius in the Sun Family, but ever since that encounter, my martial strength has grown very slowly. Over the decades, I’ve barely advanced from the early stages of the Conditioning Body Energy realm to its peak, without even touching the threshold of the Qi Drawing Realm, let alone breaking through to it,” Elder Sun spoke with a hint of regret in his voice, clearly remorseful about his past impulsiveness.

“Water Dividing Stinger, coldness… I understand. Go on, tell me about the more recent injury,” Xu Fan nodded, a glint of recognition flashing in his eyes.

Li Hua, standing aside, seeing his father speak so much at once, quickly instructed a servant to bring a cup of thin porridge, placing it beside Elder Sun.

Elder Sun lifted the cup of porridge, slurping several mouthfuls, regaining some strength, and then put down the small bowl to continue speaking.

“This time was even more bizarre. This old man is over seventy now, and my temper has long been worn smooth by the years. I would have no reason to engage in conflict with anyone, yet trouble found its way to me out of the blue,” Elder Sun said with a hint of puzzlement.

“It was about a month ago, I believe. I was doing my morning exercises in a park in Zhonghai when I suddenly encountered a man dressed in black. I could faintly sense that he was a martial artist and I wanted to exchange some words with him. Unexpectedly, without uttering a word, he threw a punch at me. His strength was at most at the Conditioning Body Energy realm, not as strong as mine, but I am old after all, not as robust as the young, and we fought over a dozen moves without a clear victor.”

“Dad, our estate is so vast, I’ve told you many times not to go out for morning exercises, but you wouldn’t listen. Now look what’s happened,” Li Hua said, frowning helplessly at his father.

“Don’t interrupt, I feel stuffy practicing alone at home; outside there’s more vitality. Back to the fight, this man in black seeing that he couldn’t beat me, took out a small contraption, the Storm Pear Blossom Needles, which launched hundreds of needles in an instant. I couldn’t move as fast due to my age, and in the end, one needle struck me, slicing through a layer of skin.”

“Seeing me wounded, the man in black immediately took out a porcelain bottle, smashed it on the ground, and slipped away. The bottle released a puff of black smoke upon breaking, after which he disappeared.”
