The door to the medicine pavilion was pushed open.

Shangguan Qingyun stepped into the medicine pavilion to look for his Master.

Now, he wholly believed in his Master who had been so very determined to take him in.

It was also time to tell his Master about the trouble he might bring.

It was late at night, but his senior brother said that their Master was still in the medicine pavilion hadn’t slept. He couldn’t sleep either, so he might as well come to his Master to tell him about his situation.
The moment he pushed open the door, he saw his Master sitting in the medicine pavilion with sweat all over his face as a violent aura constantly surged out of his Master’s body.

The violent aura seemed like it was going to send the roof flying!

What was going on?

Shangguan Qingyun was startled, and thought to himself, “Could it be that his Master had cultivated some kind of forbidden technique to advance his cultivation:
He had once seen such a situation in his family’s collection of books. If there was no external force to help the person out of the dangerous situation immediately, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Shangguan Qingyun quickened his pace and tried to get close to his Master, but every time he took a step closer, it was as if there was an additional pressure on his shoulder!

“Shangguan Qingyun! Get out!”

“Master! Let me help you!”

“Get out! I told you to get out!”

Following Jiang Yiming’s angry shout, the surging spiritual energy spread out in all directions with him as the center at this moment!

Boom!

Looking at the mess in front of him, Jiang Yiming thought to himself that the effect of the Hunyuan pill was quite scary. He had tried his best to suppress it, but he still couldn’t do it perfectly!

Damn it, did anything happen to Shangguan Qingyun?!

“Master, I’m fine. What… What are you doing?”

Shangguan Qingyun had just used up all his spiritual energy to block the overflowing energy.

Even with just that, his spiritual energy had been exhausted.

Jiang Yiming was a little embarrassed. This was the first time he had been in such a pinch before his disciple.

“It’s just a part of my cultivation. I couldn’t control it for a while just now. Why did you come to see me?”

Shangguan Qingyun looked at his Master and sighed softly, “Master, do you remember when you insisted on taking me as your disciple back then, I said that if you did take me as your disciple, you would definitely face a disaster?”

“Yes, I remember you saying that.”

Shangguan Qingyun’s expression was also a little ugly. He stuttered but couldn’t manage to say a word.
“We’re Master and disciple, what’s the need for you to hide anything from me? If there’s anything, just say it,” Jiang Yiming smiled and said, “Since you’re my disciple, I won’t ask about your background. If the matter is difficult for you to talk about, you can choose not to talk about it.”
“Master, my surname is Shangguan. I come from the Shangguan Family. You must have heard of it, right?”

“Of course, it’s just a second rank force in the Lancang Region.”

Jiang Yiming had said the words “just a second rank force” calm as ever.

Shangguan Qingyun raised his head abruptly.

It was true that his Master had the ability to kill an Incarnation Realm expert.

However, a second rank force was not something that was only supported by one or two Incarnation Realm experts!

Yet, his Master seemed to always have a trick up his sleeve.

Forget it. If he continued to let his imagination run wild, he would be committing heresy.

“Twas the son of the first wife and my talent was quite good. If nothing had gone wrong, I should’ve been able to cultivate normally and inherit the position of the family head. However, the family is powerful and there has been constant internal strife. My father had long been turned into a puppet and
was only left with the empty shell of his body. Then, my uncle, my blood-related uncle, sent someone to make me drink poison wine, causing my meridians to be completely severed. At the same time, my father had long been persecuted to death then,” Shangguan Qingyun sighed, tears flashing in his
eyes.

“After I was forced to drink the poisoned wine, I was accused of having an impure bloodline and learning other cultivation techniques in secret. As such, I could only run away from the family, which made me seem like a traitor who was feeling guilty, thus making my sins seem worse. So now, the head of
the Shangguan Family is actually my uncle… I have a sister who is still under house arrest in the family. Now, they are trying their best to find me. If they find me and bring me or my body back to the family, they will also accuse my sister of the same crime,” Shangguan Qingyun sighed and clenched his
fists.

“Isn’t it just a small matter? You better not let your tears fall! The Lingyun Sect doesn’t accept cowards!” Jiang Yiming said with a smile.

“The Shangguan Family is a second rank force. We have several elders in the Incarnation Realm! I heard that there is even a Fusion Realm patriarch who has yet to come out from seclusion!”

“You don’t have to worry about this matter. If anyone comes, I will take care of it. Your task now is to connect your meridians and continue cultivating,” Jiang Yiming took out the pill that he had refined today and handed it to Shangguan Qingyun.
“Is this the Juqi pill?”

“This pill is of a relatively low grade, but it’s just right for you.”

How was this “just right”?!

He, Shangguan Qingyun, was merely a cripple in the middle stage of the Qi Meditation Realm whose meridians had all been severed! A first-grade pill would’ve been more than enough for him to absorb.
‘Wasn’t giving him this third-grade pill somewhat wasteful?!

“Lhave already slightly reduced its medicinal properties, don’t worry.”

After Shangguan Qingyun consumed the pill, he could feel that the pitiful amount of spiritual energy in his body was actually mobilized in an instant!

An unceasing amount of medicinal qi overflowed from the pill that had dissolved in his body. The medicinal qi merged into thousands of strands of spiritual energy in his body and circulated around him.
Jiang Yiming, who was right next to him, could already clearly feel the increase in Shangguan Qingyun’s realm!

“Lwill teach you a technique now. Do not be distracted. Breathe freely and allow your heart to contain Heaven and Earth.”

With the help of the Jugi pill, the spiritual energy within Shangguan Qingyun’s body was continuously gathering. However, due to his severed meridians, the spiritual energy was unable to travel through his entire body.
It was time for the Youth Heaven-turning Technique.

Shangguan Qingyun’s eyes were tightly shut as he felt the changes in his body.

The spiritual energy in his body had never been so abundant before. At the same time, he was slowly comprehending the technique that his Master had just taught him.

Slowly, the spiritual energy around Shangguan Qingyun transformed into needles that divided themselves on his eight meridians.

‘What a kid! He was only in the Qi Meditation Realm, yet he was already able to form and divide eight needles to heal eight meridians on his first time learning the technique!

This fellow was definitely a rare genius!

At this moment, the technique’s clarity was increasing in Shangguan Qingyun’s mind!

“Close your mouth and keep your tongue hidden. Breath through your nose and make each breath enter your soul sea. When your breath is sufficient, your spirit will automatically be ample,” While Shangguan Qingyun was muttering to himself, the eight needles that were formed from spiritual energy had
begun to strike his body.

‘What was this feeling?

As the thin needles were inserted, he could feel that the originally broken parts of his meridians were slowly growing!
His meridians, which had been terribly broken, were actually being connected bit by bit.

‘The abundant spiritual energy in his body quickly filled up the space that had just been connected!

His body was like a dry big tree that had finally been watered after a long time, and all its roots grew wantonly!
