He endured the pain, a wicked smile creeping onto his lips. His gaze became even more unrestrained, sweeping over Qingyun's body from top to bottom, finally settling on her jade-white ankles, clinging to them as if licking them, until his vision blurred.
Has Qingyun truly reached the point of perfect enlightenment by the day after tomorrow?
Of course not. The original owner's cultivation level was only around the third level of the Acquired Realm, and his dantian was later destroyed. No matter how fast Qingyun's soul could transform the body, it was impossible for him to immediately reach the Perfect Acquired Realm.
Therefore, whether he offered the prescription or did something else, it was all to buy time and allow his physical cultivation to improve further. Once he reached around the seventh level of the Acquired Realm, with Qingyun's control, he could completely compress his internal energy to achieve the quality of the Acquired Realm Perfection.
When Nie Chenyuan woke up, he was only accompanied by two bodyguards.
Several of his meridians have been opened, and a gentle force flows slowly within them, protecting them.
Feeling the power returning to his body, Nie Chenyuan shook his head and smiled bitterly. His body was extremely strong, with his physical strength alone reaching the tenth level of the Acquired Realm. However, ten years ago, his meridians inexplicably developed problems, becoming not only blocked but also fragile.
His robust physique and fragile meridians were out of balance, which aggravated his condition.
Unexpectedly, it was actually Qingyun, this child, who saved him. Nie Chenyuan sighed inwardly, realizing he had always underestimated him.

"Qingyun?"
Lin Yuhao glanced at Nie Chenyuan, who was playing pool to the side, and frowned almost imperceptibly, but his tone remained calm. "Brother Nie, why did you suddenly ask him?"
His mind raced. Why would Nie Chenyuan ask about Qingyun? What was it about Qingyun that attracted Nie Chenyuan? Was it her good looks?
"Nothing, just thought of it suddenly." With a clean sweep of the table, Nie Chenyuan stood up, seemingly nonchalant, but a smile appeared on his lips.
Qingyun has been staying at the Nie family's residence recently, but she really dislikes him. Every time she sees Nie Chenyuan, it's as if she has the words "I despise you" plastered on her forehead.
Nie Chenyuan found it amusing. He wanted to understand him but couldn't find a way, so he ended up contacting Lin Yuhao, who didn't get along with Qingyun.
“I don’t know him very well.” Lin Yuhao smiled. “I haven’t had much contact with him, but I heard that he’s only at the third level of the Acquired Realm at this age. Besides, he’s hostile towards me, and as for other things… I can’t really say.”
Lin Yuhao sighed, seemingly helpless, like a truly caring older brother, but his gaze turned cold. Qingyun? That person will never exist again.
The day after tomorrow, the third level? Nie Chenyuan raised an eyebrow and glanced at Lin Yuhao. It seems he wasn't the only one who had been fooled by that kid.
"Brother Nie, did you take a fancy to a waiter at the banquet last time? What do you think? I happen to know him." Lin Yuhao's face showed a knowing smile that all men understand, but in his heart, he secretly felt disdain.
Nie Chenyuan has taken an interest in Qingyun? Then let's distract him with someone else. Those two in the lounge last time were quite the flirt, aren't they? They're more attractive than Qingyun, whom I've never met before, right?
Lin Yuhao went on and on about the waiter, but Nie Chenyuan's eyes slowly turned cold, eventually becoming terrifyingly gloomy. He was unaware that the waiter wasn't just arranged by the Ancient Martial Arts Association; Lin Yuhao had also gotten involved.
As Lin Yuhao was speaking, his phone rang in his pocket, and his expression immediately changed after he answered it.
"Qingyun is at school? Impossible!"
But Zou Qiyao was not happy. He used to be the only second young master of the Zou family, and could be said to be the only person who caught Zou Minchen's eye. Why did someone suddenly appear and steal his thunder?
He thought about things more deeply. The reason he, the Second Young Master Zou, was so prestigious was because he didn't have any "Third Young Master" or "Fourth Young Master" lineages behind him. If there were more people, he wouldn't be anything special. Although Xiao Chengnuo wasn't related to the Zou family by blood, what did bloodline matter? The Zou family depended on Zou Minchen's whims. As long as Zou Minchen was pleased, everyone had to fawn over him.
Therefore, Zou Qiyao can be said to have a strong dislike for Xiao Chengnuo.
Seeing the thoughtful look in Zou Qiyao's eyes, Xiao Chengzhe lowered his gaze and smiled. He said this to put Zou Qiyao on the guard. But he himself didn't care too much. After all, just because Zou Minchen hadn't had any scandals didn't mean he was truly alone.
If Xiao Chengzhe hadn't mistakenly led his men in, who would have known about Xiao Chengnuo and Zou Minchen's affair? It was just a coincidence. Besides, Xiao Chengzhe didn't think Zou Minchen would be interested in someone as incompetent as Xiao Chengnuo.
"Damn it, this kid is going against you, and I can't stand him either. I don't want this guy to just hitch a ride on the Zou family's coattails." Zou Qiyao spat.
Zou Qiyao was used to being arrogant and always acted impulsively.
Qingyun had just finished attending her grandmother's birthday party when he intercepted her as she drove out.
"Hey, Young Master Xiao." Zou Qiyao said to Qingyun while sitting in the sports car, blowing smoke rings.
Qingyun raised an eyebrow. Originally, his impression of Zou Qiyao was just that he was Xiao Chengzhe's cheat code. The only time he paid attention to him was when this kid plotted to drug him.
Now, however, he has developed some other interests.
After all, in the information this world conveyed to him, Zou Qiyao was Zou Minchen's "only beloved" younger brother. After the accident, Zou Minchen even stubbornly entrusted the vast Zou family to Zou Qiyao, just to ensure his lifelong safety.
pet?
Qingyun chewed on those two words between his lips, then suddenly smiled and rolled down the car window: "What advice does Second Young Master Zou have?"
Zou Qiyao found Qingyun's smile both irritating and tantalizing. He hadn't forgotten his purpose for coming, and said in a deep voice, "Look, although we're both second young masters, there's a significant difference. Everyone should have some self-awareness, right?"
He suddenly leaned closer to Qingyun and said, "I know my brother's personality better than anyone. Don't pretend to be nice and try to get close to him. I'm embarrassed for you."
"Oh?" Qingyun became interested. He even wanted Zou Minchen to come and hear what Zou Qiyao had to say.
“Right now, my brother doesn’t want to deal with you. But once he finds out, he might get upset and you could lose your life.” Zou Qiyao sighed twice as he spoke. “What do you want? Isn’t it just money? I’ll give you five million. Take the money and leave, and give up on this idea.”
Zou Qiyao's thinking was simple: Xiao Chengnuo had been kicked out of the Xiao family, so he was clinging to Zou Minchen's coattails. So what else could he be after besides money?
Qingyun stared blankly at Zou Qiyao, clearly not expecting such a scene to happen to her.
This is just like in an idol drama where the male lead's mother threatens the female lead with money to "leave my son."
Qingyun burst out laughing unexpectedly; perhaps people's sense of humor changes as they live longer. The scene of Zou Qiyao righteously throwing money at him to get rid of him inexplicably tickled Qingyun's funny bone, making him laugh for quite a while.
Qingyun only stopped laughing when Zou Qiyao's face turned extremely pale.
