Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws

Chapter 566: Curing the Poison, Exchanging Emperor Techniques, Buy One Free One

“Let us begin.”

Chu Kuangren extended his index and middle fingers, gathering the surrounding water qi towards him.

In an instant, the water qi condensed into several tiny needles in the void. Everyone was shocked to see that.

“Condensing water qi into needles… So you’re going with acupuncture?”

An expert in the Medical Dao, Master Daoist Li murmured and smiled contemptuously. “To think you’d use some sort of advanced medical technique. I tried using acupuncture in the past before — the highly advanced Youth Rejuvenation Acupuncture Technique Seventh Form. Despite that, I still cannot get rid of this flame poison.”

“You can’t be more foolish for using that!”

Upon hearing Master Daoist Li’s words, Chu Kuangren could not help but yell at him. “The Youth Rejuvenation Acupuncture Technique is a technique that channels the surrounding wood-based spiritual qi to cure a patient. However, the flame poison inside Sister Leng’s body is a fire-based poison. If you use a Wood Elemental Acupuncture Technique to treat her fire-based injury, aren’t you feeding the flame even more?!”

“It’s all thanks to Sister Leng’s high leveled cultivation and deep foundations that she’s still alive under your damaging treatments. I’d consider her extremely lucky if she could live for another ten more years.”

Master Daoist Li’s expression became incredibly sullen and grim at Chu Kuangren’s remarks.

On the other hand, Chi Yue got so angry that she gritted her teeth and immediately scolded, “You bast*rd, it turns out you’ve been harming my Honorable Teacher all along!”

“Hmph, how can a physician’s matter ever be considered harmful?”

Master Daoist Li snorted. “The flame poison inside Leng Yue’s body is incurable. If I didn’t use acupuncture to suppress it, who knows how many relapses she would have had?”

“You idiot, the method you used is only effective in treating the symptoms and not the root cause of the issue. Besides, I’m sure it burns more fiercely every time after you’ve suppressed her flame poison’s effects.”

Lady Leng Yue could not help but recall the times when Master Daoist Li treated her poison.

Although her flame poison’s relapses had decreased after Master Daoist Li’s help, it would always occur far worse than before.

She initially assumed it was a trait of the flame poison. However, she did not expect it was because of another factor instead.

“You…”

Master Daoist Li’s face flushed with rage. He flicked his sleeves and said, “Hmph, there’s no point in saying that now. Let’s wait until you’ve successfully treated Leng Yue.”

‘As long as Chu Kuangren fails to treat Leng Yue, then everything he said earlier would be meaningless.’

“You don’t say.”

Chu Kuangren grabbed one of the water qi needles in the air and pierced it into one of Lady Leng Yue’s meridian points.

A surge of water qi instantly entered her body.

Repeating the same method, both of Chu Kuangren’s hands moved rapidly. He skillfully grabbed the water qi needles and pierced them into Lady Leng Yue’s other meridian points, one by one.

“Sister Leng, start channeling spiritual power towards the water qi that has just entered your body in this sequence. First is the Great Palace, then Sea of Chi, Violet Palace, Hundred Meetings, Triple Warmer[1]…”

Lady Leng Yue followed Chu Kuangren’s instructions.

She could feel two alternating sensations in her body, one hot and another cold. They were akin to ice and fire.

From the others’ perspective, Lady Leng Yue’s expression was constantly changing within. It was pale in one moment and red in another.

Soon after, a large ball of water qi that contained a dark red bundle of flame was gradually drawn out from Lady Leng Yue’s body.

“Roar!!”

That dark red flame seemingly had a mind of its own as it turned into a poisonous snake-type strange wild beast, which kept on roaring in the ball of water qi.

“This flame is without a source, yet it is still roaring so rebelliously.”

Chu Kuangren pursed his lips before lifting his arm and gathering the surrounding water qi once more. “Know your place!”

The surges of water qi turned into a razor-sharp blade that struck at dark flame!

In a split second, it vaporized into steam and dissipated into nothingness.

“He did it!”

Chi Yue’s face lit up with delight.

As for Master Daoist Li, his face turned pale instead. “How… How can this be? How did he succeed?”

He had never managed to cure Lady Leng Yue despite treating her condition for so many years, yet Chu Kuangren succeeded?

He even used a technique that he had never seen before, right before his eyes!

“T-that’s it?”

Lady Leng Yue also looked at Chu Kuangren with disbelief.

Chu Kuangren had gotten rid of the stubborn illness that plagued her for so many years with such little effort. This was incredible!

“How do you feel now?” Chu Kuangren looked at Lady Leng Yue and chuckled.

“I feel great. I’ve never felt this good before. It’s as if a weight has been lifted off my shoulders,” Lady Leng Yue replied joyfully.

“How in the world did you do it?”

Master Daoist Li asked Chu Kuangren with a look of disbelief.

“Want to find out? Why don’t you kneel and beg me? I might consider it if I’m in a good mood.”

“You…”

Master Daoist Li snorted as he flicked his sleeves angrily and left.

This time, Chi Yue stopped him. “What’s the matter? You’ve been harming my Honorable Teacher for so many years. Aren’t you a bit too naïve to think you can leave that easily?”

“Let him leave, Chi Yue.”

At this moment, Lady Leng Yue said, “However, from this day onwards, the Seven Emotions Sect shall not welcome you and your disciple any longer.”

“Leng Yue, can’t you let this slide for old times sake?”

“You and I have been strangers from the moment you threatened me, so get the h*ll out of here.”

Without further ado, Lady Leng Yue drove both Master Daoist Li and his disciple out of the Seven Emotions Sect.

“Brother Chu, I’m deeply grateful to you for curing my Honorable Teacher’s illness. I shall repay you for the troubles I’ve caused in the past.”

Chi Yue went up to Chu Kuangren and bowed to him.

“Don’t worry. I’ve never taken those things to heart.”

Such trivial matters were not worth Chu Kuangren remembering after all.

Since he saved Lady Leng Yue, he became an esteemed guest at the Seven Emotions Sect, and he was served well during his stay there.

The second day.

Lady Leng Yue summoned Chu Kuangren to the grand pagoda, where several elders of the Seven Emotions Sect were there too.

The people who were gathered there sized Chu Kuangren up. Some of the bolder female elders even whistled at him.

Chu Kuangren calmly greeted everyone with a fist salute. “Greeting, fellow Daoists.”

“Greetings to you as well, Brother Chu. I’ve called you here today to talk about the matter of exchanging Emperor Techniques.”

Lady Leng Yue took out five scrolls. “These are the five scrolls possessed by the Seven Emotions Sect. They are the Heart Tearing Claw, Mighty Cleave of Anger, Seal of Delight, Dreadful Ghoulish Slash, and Strike of Hatred, which corresponds to the emotions of grief, rage, joy, fear, and hatred respectively.”

Chu Kuangren’s eyes lit up upon seeing them. He then took out the three scrolls in his possession. “This is the Heart Piercing Finger, Raging Gods Fist, and Palm of Sorrow.”

Trading five techniques for three? The Seven Emotions Sect seemed to be at a disadvantage here.

However, Chu Kuangren knew that Lady Leng Yue was doing this as a sign of gratitude for saving her life yesterday.

Otherwise, she would never hand out those Emperor Techniques that willingly.

“Brother Chu, you’re free to study these five scrolls within the Seven Emotions Sect. I hope you won’t take them with you when you leave.”

“Of course.”

Chu Kuangren nodded slightly.

Following that, Lady Leng Yue ordered the elders to bring the three scrolls away and leave them alone.

She then looked at Chu Kuangren weirdly.

Her stare gave Chu Kuangren goosebumps. Was Lady Leng Yue going to offer him her body for saving her life?’

However, at a closer look, she was a beautiful, charming, and seductive lady. Otherwise, why would Master Daoist Li keep on lusting for her all these years?’

‘Tsk.’

‘If she really is offering me her body as a reward, should I accept it?’

‘If I do not accept her offer, would Lady Leng Yue resort to taking me by force? After all, I’m so handsome. She may attempt to dominate me too.’

‘If that happens, should I resist her advances then?’

Chu Kuangren’s thoughts started to wander.

“What do you think of Ningyu?”

At this time, Lady Leng Yue suddenly spoke.

‘What?’

‘Why did she suddenly mention Leng Ningyu? Is she offering me… a buy one and get another for free?’
