"Haha, this is someone Qingmei met on the plane. He's a pretty good young man with exceptional medical skills." Old Chang laughed and said, "Let me tell you, Lao Yu, even if your strength reaches the Celestial Phenomenon realm, people still eat grains and other foods, and it's hard to guarantee that you won't get sick or injured sometimes."
"It's definitely a good idea to be on good terms with this little miracle doctor."
"Heh, a miracle doctor? The only miracle doctor I know in Northeast China is Sai Huatuo, a man who's over ninety years old and has one foot in his coffin. Has this kid even grown up yet? He dares to call himself a miracle doctor?"
Yu Guanzhong was extremely disdainful of Ye Xingchen. He said coldly, "Old Chang, although you are an old hand in the world, I still have to remind you that the tricks of those swindlers who roam the world these days are endless."
"You'd better be careful. Some people might approach you with ulterior motives. Of course, you're rich and powerful, so you're not afraid of being fooled, but you wouldn't feel good about being fooled by such an unscrupulous guy, would you?"
"No way, haha, Lao Yu, I'm serious. Xiao Ye's medical skills are superb. You'd better build a good relationship with him, because you never know when you might need his help." Old Chang laughed heartily.
"Haha, you've been playing with eagles your whole life, don't end up getting pecked in the eye." Yu Guanzhong laughed heartily, his eyes filled with disdain: "I still have a good eye for people, this kid is no good."
Ye Xingchen was somewhat displeased. He had seen plenty of people who acted like they were old and superior, so what kind of nonsense was this?
He stepped forward, about to speak with the old man, but just then, Ye Qingmei gently touched Ye Xingchen and tugged at his sleeve.
Ye Xingchen understood her meaning. After all, this was the Seven Star Tower, and the old man was also at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. She was afraid he would suffer a loss.
"A Celestial Phenomenon Master? Ye Xingchen has killed countless such masters. What are you compared to him?"
Just as he was considering whether to embarrass the old man in public, the old man became unwilling.
He sneered, "Qingmei, don't stop him. Let him come over here, and I'll see what he's up to."
"A junior like you, swindling and cheating everywhere, dares to act presumptuously in front of me? Heh, do you think I'm too old to be subdued by the Heavenly Origin True Qi?"
After Yu Guanzhong finished speaking, a cold glare came over, his hair and beard flying wildly, clearly indicating that he had used his true energy.
The Yu family's Heavenly Origin True Qi is an ancestral treasure. Their ancestors produced a half-step Saint-level expert by virtue of this Heavenly Origin True Qi.
Moreover, Yu Guanzhong is quite talented. After more than sixty years of cultivation, he has almost perfected the Heavenly Origin True Qi. An ordinary person would probably be seriously injured by just one look from him.
Of course, Ye Xingchen was no ordinary person. When Yu Guanzhong glared at him, he shifted the corner of his clothes, then glanced at Yu Guanzhong with a mocking expression.
What kind of level are you? Trying to pull this trick on me? If it weren't for your advanced age, I could have injured you with a single backlash of divine thought.
However, Ye Xingchen's actions still surprised the old man. He stared at Ye Xingchen in disbelief, completely dumbfounded.
The glare he gave Ye Xingchen just now wasn't just a simple look; he used his Heavenly Origin True Qi.
If a normal person were to be glared at by him, they would probably be seriously injured, or at the very least, vomit blood.
But Ye Xingchen was standing there unharmed; he hadn't even moved the hem of his clothes, which was simply unbelievable to the old man.
"Young man, who are you?" Even though Yu Guanzhong was used to relying on his seniority, he now realized that something was wrong. Ye Xingchen was probably not as simple as he seemed. This kid was not only proficient in medicine, but also knowledgeable in martial arts.
"An ordinary person." Ye Xingchen spread his hands. "Didn't Elder Yu just try to test my abilities? Have you figured it out yet?"
Yu Guanzhong's expression was unpredictable. Ye Xingchen did not answer his question directly, and she herself could not figure out the other party's strength.
Especially since Chang Zhen suddenly had such a powerful expert by his side, it wasn't a good thing for him.
Chang Zhen wielded considerable influence in the three provinces. Relying on his family's martial arts, he believed he could stand on equal footing with Chang Zhen.
If Ye Xingchen appears, he will inevitably disrupt this situation. These two old men complement each other. Although they seem to have a good relationship on the surface, they have been fighting each other behind the scenes.
If Ye Xingchen is very strong, then the balance of the black market will be broken.
“An ordinary person would be severely injured and cough up blood with just one look from me.” Yu Guanzhong’s expression shifted unpredictably. “But you were completely unharmed just now. You seem to be more than just a simple person. Heh, is my Heavenly Origin True Qi not enough to make you feel threatened?”
"Do you want to hear the truth?" Ye Xingchen raised his eyes and stared at the old man, who was clearly not convinced.
“Of course.” Yu Guanzhong raised an eyebrow.
"To be honest, your Heavenly Origin True Qi is indeed powerful for ordinary people and general experts, but it's not enough for me." Ye Xingchen slowly shook his head and said, "Moreover, there is a flaw in your ancestral true qi, which causes damage to the heart meridian when the true qi circulates through the eight extraordinary meridians."
"Therefore, this kind of martial art is destined not to be mastered to the level of a master."
"Nonsense!" Yu Guanzhong roared. "My ancestor reached the Saint level with his true qi, and after sixty years of cultivation, I'm already approaching the Celestial Phenomenon level. How dare you say our martial arts are inferior?"
"I don't know how your ancestors achieved sainthood, but it certainly wasn't through normal means," Ye Xingchen said leisurely. "As for you, your talent is indeed quite good; otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to suppress the damage to your eight extraordinary meridians."
"Since I dare to say such a thing, I must have my reasons. Apart from you and your ancestor, does your Yu family have any other experts?"
"You..." Yu Guanzhong was speechless after being silenced by Ye Xingchen's words.
Yes, the Yu family has a great reputation, but only one of his ancestors became a saint a few hundred years ago. Apart from that, he is the only one who has barely reached the celestial stage, which is still acceptable.
As for his descendants, they were all second- or third-rate martial artists, not even worthy of being called experts.
He often admonished his sons and grandsons for not being diligent enough in practicing martial arts, but he never considered that it was because there was something wrong with the martial arts passed down in their family.
"So you should face the problem squarely. Honest advice is hard to hear, and it will do you good to listen to the young people." Ye Xingchen sneered: "You have practiced martial arts for many years. When the Heavenly Origin True Qi circulates, it passes through the eight extraordinary meridians. All twelve of your meridians are damaged, and all eight meridians are injured. So don't try to be strong here."
"Nonsense! If you dare to spout nonsense again, believe me, I won't be polite to you!" Yu Guanzhong roared, taking a step forward and spreading his true energy throughout his body.
With a crack, a section of the floor beneath his feet split open. He raised his right palm upward, vowing that if Ye Xingchen dared to utter another word, he would kill him immediately.
