"Yes, I'm injured now and have stepped down to the second line." Zhou Fuwen sighed softly, then asked with interest, "Xuanyu Pavilion gathers extraordinary people from all over the world to serve the country, suppress internal strife, and quell enemies from all directions. Young people are born with passion, I wonder if you are interested?"
"I'm used to being lazy, and I'm afraid I won't be able to stand the rules there. Elder Zhou, although you have the Five Dragon Breath to strengthen your body and prevent your eight extraordinary meridians from being completely blocked, the longer it goes on, the more serious the damage to your meridians will be. If this continues for a long time, I'm afraid you will become paralyzed," Ye Xingchen said.
“I know that.” Zhou Fuwen supported his legs and laughed loudly, “I, Zhou Fuwen, have spent my life on the battlefield and died a worthy death.”
Ye Xingchen nodded slightly: "Elder Zhou, in charge of Xuanyu Pavilion, vanquished enemies from all directions. He is truly a hero. A hero should not end up like this. I am not talented, but I am willing to unlock Elder Fu's meridians and reshape them."
After Ye Xingchen finished speaking, he raised his right hand, extended three fingers, and slowly traced them in the air.
As he exhaled his true energy, a beam of light appeared in mid-air. This beam of light suddenly dispersed and merged into Zhou Fuwen's body.
Zhou Fuwen let out a muffled groan. He felt a domineering aura flowing through his body, slowly dissolving his blocked meridians and repairing his damaged meridians.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes and leaped up, his legs, which had been paralyzed, now able to stand steadily on the ground.
"I...I'm healed, my injuries are healed?" Zhou Fuwen was excited. He raised his hands and was momentarily stunned.
His injury was fatal; even the head of the Imperial Medical Academy, the renowned physician Yuan Zhengde, was helpless, and he could only wait to die day by day.
But Ye Xingchen could easily dispel the spiritual energy within him and unlock the eight extraordinary meridians with a mere flick of his wrist. This strength was unmatched in the world.
"I have already opened up the eight extraordinary meridians that Senior had blocked. You only need to rest for three months to recover your energy, and then you can continue your cultivation. With Senior's strength, if you hadn't been injured, you would probably have already entered the fourth realm of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm," Ye Xingchen said with a smile.
"Thank you for saving my life, young friend. You... are surnamed Ye?" Zhou Fuwen looked up at Ye Xingchen. Only now did he realize that Ye Xingchen looked very familiar.
"Yes, my surname is Ye, and my name is Ye Xingchen." Ye Xingchen nodded.
After staring blankly at Ye Xingchen for a while, Zhou Fuwen murmured, "It seems so. If my senior brother Xia Xueming's grandson were still alive, he would be about the same age as you, right?"
"That old bastard from the Ye family in Yanjing, because of a grudge from decades ago, forcibly separated his son Ye Jinyu and my niece Xia Jingyi."
"As a result, their child was separated from his parents at birth. My senior brother was so worried about his grandson that he fell ill and soon disappeared without a trace." Zhou Fuwen recalled his senior brother's family affairs and looked at Ye Xingchen, who was about the same age as the missing child, and couldn't help but feel sad.
Ye Xingchen's heart clenched. Although he was not familiar with the Ye family and Xia family in Yanjing that Zhou Fuwen mentioned, a sense of desolation welled up in his heart.
Thinking about his background, he seemed to vaguely understand something, but he immediately shook his head and put this unrealistic idea out of his mind. The Ye family and the Xia family were both famous and prestigious families in Yanjing. How could he, an orphan who did not know who his biological parents were, be related to these two families?
“Kid, not bad.” Ling Xingyan looked at Ye Xingchen differently: “The person who injured Old Xia back then was not a martial arts master, but the Great Protector of the Brahman of India, a person of the divine path. His power was not ordinary martial arts, but mysterious primordial spirit energy.”
"A person from the Divine Path?" Ye Xingchen frowned.
“Yes, you can think of them as cultivators. In China, they are called cultivators; in the Western world, they are called cultivators; and in India, they are called spirit devotees… These people are above martial arts. Back then, I fought against three spirit devotees and barely won by exhausting all my true energy,” Zhou Fuwen said.
Ye Xingchen remained silent. His Supreme Jade Purity Dao Scripture was a cultivation technique that transcended martial arts.
Martial artists, after reaching the Heavenly Realm, enter the Four Realms of Celestial Phenomena. Breaking through the Four Realms is the entry point to the Eighth Realm of Cultivation. After breaking through the Ninth Realm of the Supreme Jade Purity Dao Scripture, he can officially embark on cultivation.
“You’ve talked too much, kid.” Ling Xingyan stood up and glanced at Ye Xingchen. “Kid, come with me. I want to talk to you alone.”
A moment later, Ye Xingchen and Ling Xingyan were in a refined room.
“Ye Xingchen, my granddaughter is to be married into a prominent family. Compared to the famous families in Yanjing, what advantages do you have?” Ling Xingyan stared at him.
“I have no advantage; I can’t compete with them right now.” Ye Xingchen spread his hands. “Besides, I have no intention of becoming your grandson-in-law.”
"What did you say?" Ling Xingyan glared at him. "Try saying that again? My granddaughter is very fond of you, and you don't even plan to marry her?"
"Elder Ling, I have no intention of offending you. I know I have no family background or connections, and I am worlds apart from Miss Ling. But give me some time, and I will naturally rise above everyone else." Ye Xingchen smiled.
"Fine, you're confident. I've investigated you. You've risen rapidly in a short time, so you're definitely someone to be reckoned with, but you're still far from being able to marry my granddaughter." Ling Xingyan snorted. "I'll give you three years to grow. If you meet my requirements, I'll agree to let you be with Ling Yan."
"What are your requirements?" Ye Xingchen scratched his head.
“At the very least, you’ll be part of a wealthy family.” Ling Xingyan stared at him coldly. “And our Ling family will also give you some help when necessary.”
Ye Xingchen originally wanted to refuse outright, after all, he knew his own limitations and was far inferior to Ling Yan.
But Ling Xingyan's question made him swallow his refusal: "For example?"
"We'll give you some resources and help you solve some problems. Of course, it's not unlimited. If you feel you can't solve a problem, we'll help you solve it," Ling Xingyan said.
"I've assembled a team called Jiaolong, about fifty people. This team is comparable to the Blackwater mercenary company; they can infiltrate enemy lines to carry out various missions, and they can..."
"Wait, is this a special forces team?" Ling Xingyan's expression changed.
"No, no, I'm from a security company, protecting my company's formulas. I've recruited some retired members of the Canglang team." Ye Xingchen chuckled. "I want to get them some equipment and gun licenses. The equipment doesn't need to be too good, just the standard for Canglang will do..."
Ling Xingyan stared at Ye Xingchen with a murderous glare. He gritted his teeth and said, "Retired members of the Canglang organization are not allowed to participate in any non-official organizations."
"You recruited them to build a force, and the equipment of the Azure Wolf is among the top three of the world's special forces, with weapons comparable to Delta Force. Are you crazy? You want me to get you all this stuff?"
