Chapter 197. A Divine Treasure That Even Huaxia Does Not Have. How Did You Just Take It Out So Casually?
“Take him away!”
Director He gave the order. The two law enforcers behind him locked Zhou Yu’s hands in special silver shackles, each one gripping one of his arms.
Zhou Yu’s expression was dazed. As he felt himself being dragged slowly out the door, it was as though he were walking toward an abyss. The fear in his heart reached its peak.
The military rank he had worked so hard to obtain over the years, and the foothold he had finally established in the military district, had all turned into bubbles and vanished because of this single miscalculation.
Artificially triggering an SS-Rank Beast Tide already counted as a serious threat to Huaxia’s safety. Once the charge was confirmed, there was no escaping the death penalty.
At that moment, the panic in Zhou Yu’s heart left him somewhat at a loss.
What should I do? What exactly should I do?
Jiang Feng, you madman! What benefit does mutual destruction bring you?
Zhou Yu looked back at his office and sighed deeply.
A flash of regret passed through his eyes. Not only had he failed to break up Jiang Yichen and Su Linyu, he had instead helped Jiang Yichen obtain the military district’s highest honor.
As for himself, he was about to face judgment in a Huaxia court. He had truly tried to steal a chicken only to lose the rice.
Now, the only thing he could place his hopes on was his family.
And his father, who had broken through beyond the Martial God realm. He would absolutely not stand by and watch Zhou Yu be sentenced to death.
The two law enforcers dragged Zhou Yu, whose legs had gone weak, out of the office.
“Director He, I hope you can judge Zhou Yu fairly and impartially, and give everyone in East China an explanation,” Qin Feng suddenly said.
Director He saluted Qin Feng. “This is my duty!”
“By the way, where is Jiang Feng? I need to bring him back to the bureau to cooperate with the investigation.”
Qin Feng pondered for a moment. “Come again tomorrow afternoon. He has something to do.”
“This…” A look of difficulty appeared on Director He’s face. As Zhou Yu’s accomplice, Jiang Feng should have been arrested immediately.
However, when he saw Qin Feng’s expression, he could only nod. “Very well. I will come again tomorrow.”
Director He walked out of the office.
Qin Feng sighed deeply and looked at the watch on his wrist.
Jiang Yichen and the others should have gone to the military district hospital to visit Chu Xingchen. As their instructor, he should go take a look as well.
Military district hospital, Ward 101.
“Doctor, how is his condition?”
Outside the door, when Tang Long saw the doctor in a white coat come out of Chu Xingchen’s ward, he immediately stepped forward and asked.
The doctor shook his head. “His condition is very bad. The meridians on the left side of his entire body are severely damaged. The fact that he survived is already a miracle.”
“However, in the future, I am afraid he will no longer be able to be a martial artist.”
The meridians were the foundation of a martial artist. They were the basis for the circulation of Blood Qi, the absorption of Spiritual Energy to temper the body, and everything else.
Once the meridians were damaged, it was equivalent to injuring one’s martial foundation. In mild cases, one would be unable to advance any further for the rest of one’s life. In severe cases, one would be reduced to an ordinary person.
Those words made Tang Long and Su Linyu look deeply troubled.
“Is there no way to repair his meridians?” Su Linyu asked.
Tang Long also nodded anxiously. “That is right. There must be a way, right? Not being able to be a martial artist is no different from killing Old Chu.”
The doctor sighed deeply, understanding how the two of them felt.
“There is, but the effect is very limited. Commander Xu has already helped Chu Xingchen apply to headquarters for medicine that can repair meridians.”
“However, that medicine can only repair meridians slowly. Given Chu Xingchen’s condition, if he wants to continue cultivating, he would have to take it for at least five years.”
“Moreover, it cannot repair them completely. The repaired meridians would also be unusually fragile.”
The hope that had just ignited in Tang Long and Su Linyu’s hearts was extinguished again.
Five years! That was far too long.
“Is there truly no other way? Huaxia has so many outstanding doctors. There should be a way,” Tang Long asked unwillingly as he looked at Chu Xingchen lying in the ward.
The doctor shook his head with a smile. “I am one of Huaxia’s Five Great National Physicians. Commander Xu personally invited me here.”
“If even I have no solution, the other doctors will likely be the same.” He pointed at the name “Yan Zhongjing” on his chest.
Tang Long and Su Linyu froze, and their hearts sank even deeper.
Huaxia’s National Physicians possessed the most top-tier medical talents. If they said something was impossible, then it was basically a death sentence.
“Is there really no way?” Tang Long randomly grabbed at his hair and sat down on the bench in the corridor.
Doctor Yan sighed and said, “Unless there is a divine treasure in the ruins that can completely repair meridians, anything else is simply impossible.”
This…
Tang Long became even more despairing. Obtaining a divine treasure from the ruins was basically a matter of nine deaths and one survival.
Su Linyu, meanwhile, looked toward Jiang Yichen, worry in her eyes.
Chu Xingchen was Brother Yichen’s brother from childhood. Now that he had become like this, Brother Yichen must feel terrible, right?
She stepped closer to Jiang Yichen and held his hand with both of hers. “Brother Yichen, there will definitely be a way. Do not be sad.”
“My brother often enters and leaves ruins. I will ask him to help Chu Xingchen search for a divine treasure that can repair meridians.”
Huh?
Jiang Yichen froze and touched his own face. Do I look very sad?
He looked at the concern in Su Linyu’s eyes and smiled. “There is no need to trouble him. It is only a divine treasure that repairs meridians. Simple.”
??
Doctor Yan, Su Linyu, and Tang Long were stunned, confusion appearing on their faces.
What did he mean by “only” a divine treasure?
Even all of Huaxia had no way to obtain a divine treasure from the ruins that could repair meridians. How could that be simple?
Under the three puzzled gazes, Jiang Yichen took out the Nine Revolutions Soul-Reviving Pill from the System Space.
He slowly opened the ancient, plain box. A burst of deep-blue light bloomed, making the three of them unable to open their eyes for a moment.
When the light faded, waves of refreshing pill fragrance drifted out. Just inhaling the fragrance made their entire bodies feel incomparably comfortable.
Astonishment appeared in the eyes of all three. Their gazes fell on the pill inside the ancient wooden box, which was glowing with a faint deep-blue light.
“This is a pill that can repair meridians. Doctor Yan, please have him take it.” Jiang Yichen handed the Nine Revolutions Soul-Reviving Pill to Yan Zhongjing.
The latter froze. He stared at Jiang Yichen for a long time before slowly accepting it.
“Are you certain this pill can repair meridians?” he still asked doubtfully.
Jiang Yichen nodded slightly.
Su Linyu and Tang Long’s mouths opened slightly. While they found it hard to believe, they also felt that it somehow made sense.
Previously, Jiang Yichen had casually displayed things that were beyond anyone’s understanding, such as keeping a Divine Beast as a pet and scattering talismans like candy.
Could this pill truly be a divine treasure that could repair meridians?
Su Linyu pressed her palm against her cheek and gazed at Jiang Yichen.
She felt that she understood Brother Yichen less and less, or rather, she understood less and less just how powerful the Jiang family truly was.
No wonder Brother Yichen’s cultivation realm had advanced so rapidly. It turned out that the Jiang family she was going to marry into in the future was actually even more powerful than Huaxia.
Things that Huaxia did not have, the Jiang family directly gave to Brother Yichen.
Ahhh, why does it feel like I am marrying into a wealthy elite family?
Su Linyu felt a little excited inwardly. Her mind fantasized about the kind of television drama plot where a woman married into a rich family and was pampered to the heavens. The corners of her mouth lifted into a sweet smile.
“Damn! Brother Yichen, you truly are my god!”
Tang Long was even more exaggerated. The admiration on his face surged endlessly like a vast river.
Jiang Yichen could not help smiling. Just as he was about to show off a little—
Tap, tap, tap…
A series of footsteps came from the corridor. Hearing the sound, the four of them looked over.
They saw Qin Feng, dressed in a military uniform, slowly walking over. He nodded at Jiang Yichen.
“Elder Yan, how is Chu Xingchen’s condition?” Qin Feng looked at Yan Zhongjing.
The latter lowered his eyes and glanced at the pill Jiang Yichen had given him. After hesitating for a while, he said, “It is nothing serious. With the Jiang family young master’s miraculous pill for repairing meridians, everything is no longer a problem.”
Although he could not understand Jiang Yichen’s pill, the intuition granted by his SSS-grade medical talent told him that this pill was of a higher grade than any pill he had ever seen.
Qin Feng, however, was stunned when he heard this.
What was that? A miraculous pill for repairing meridians?
He looked at Jiang Yichen in shock, his eyes filled with confusion.
You have something that even all of Huaxia does not?
