Chapter 557: Five hundred and fifty-seven ways to achieve the best of both worlds
In the eyes of Qian Sanyuan and Yao Zhiyuan, as well as those high-level Pulse Refining Masters with formidable Meridian Refining Techniques, to cure this middle-aged man of his deficiency in life force and blood, the blood gu must be removed first.
After all, the man’s depletion of vital energy was caused by the blood-colored gu, the chief culprit; yet, this blood-colored gu was the Gu Master’s Lifebound Blood Gu, the two having long since become one. They complemented each other and could not be separated.
Should the middle-aged man die, the Lifebound Gu would also perish instantly, and with the death of the gu, the Gu Master would be drawn into death as well. Their fates were indeed intertwined, for better or for worse.
However, if they simply let the Lifebound Blood Gu devour the middle-aged man’s life force and blood, the likely outcome would be the death of both, which is precisely why Yao Zhiyuan was brimming with confidence.
"Vice Chairman Qian said that your Medical Pulse Technique is astonishing, and you can cure any disease, didn’t he? Then have a go at curing him. Yao Zhiyuan has handpicked this patient.
Plus, Yao Zhiyuan believed that even if he used some underhanded tricks, Vice Chairman Qian wouldn’t blame him. After all, there are countless diseases in the world, and encountering an unseen case might even earn him merit at the Meridian Refining Master Association.
Gu Masters are rare to see, and even rarer are those who have been brought to such a state by their Lifebound Blood Gus devouring their life force and blood. Yao Zhiyuan knew that such a condition was probably unprecedented at the Tenglong Continent’s Meridian Refining Master Association.
"Hehe, it’s just a mere Lifebound Blood Gu, there must be a way!"
Unexpectedly, as Yao Zhiyuan’s slightly smug words fell, Yun Xiao’s voice followed, carrying a hint of ease that everyone could hear.
"Then let us witness young master Yun Xiao’s Pulse Refining skill!"
Despite Yun Xiao’s casualness, Yao Zhiyuan didn’t believe it for a second. He thought the young man was just boasting to save face, and immediately responded with a mix of praise and sarcasm.
"Since I have spoken, I certainly intend to cure him!"
