"Save the Qi family...?"

Luo Ruying asked doubtfully.

"Yes…"

"In fact, the Qi family is about to be removed from the capital of Nancheng..."

Qi Yuan lowered his eyebrows and said with a gloomy look:

"In a few days, there will be a Chamber of Commerce competition between the Qi family and the Jiang family."

"The Chamber of Commerce Competition will determine the ownership of the major street chambers of commerce in Nanli City."

"The Qi family and the Jiang family used to each occupy 50% of the street chambers of commerce in the city, but in recent years, the Jiang family has relied on the support of the powerful forces behind them and has begun to expand continuously, forcibly occupying my Qi family's various industries!"

"Now, less than 30% of the street chambers of commerce remain under the jurisdiction of my Qi family..."

"How do you want me to save the Qi family?"

Luo Ruying asked.

"I would like to ask Sister Luo to represent my Qi family in the Chamber of Commerce competition!"

Qi Yuan pleaded in a serious voice.

Conflicts and contradictions often occur between chambers of commerce. Once the contradictions escalate, it can easily lead to rivers of blood or even the annihilation of an entire family!

As a result, the chambers of commerce subsequently agreed upon a new solution to resolve conflicts.

That is the Chamber of Commerce competition!

If an irreconcilable conflict arises between two chambers of commerce, one party may choose to initiate a chamber of commerce competition against the other party.

The two chambers of commerce placed their respective bets and each invited a monk representing their own chamber of commerce to participate in the competition.

The losing party must pay the winning party back.

Such competitions can greatly avoid the situation where chambers of commerce secretly fight each other due to conflicts.

The plan was proposed by a group called Treasures Business Alliance.

The Treasures Business Alliance is a business alliance formed by countless chambers of commerce in the world.

In name, it is for the mutual development of the Chamber of Commerce, but it is also responsible for mediating conflicts between chambers of commerce and maintaining the stability of the Chamber of Commerce.

In order to ensure the fairness of the competition, when two chambers of commerce initiate a chamber of commerce competition, there will usually be people from the Treasure Merchant Alliance present to testify.

This time, the Chamber of Commerce competition was proposed by the Qi family to the Jiang family.

Years of oppression finally made the Qi family decide to risk everything and challenge the Jiang family to a Chamber of Commerce competition, hoping to take back everything they had.

However, the monks who had originally agreed to fight for the Qi family either suddenly refused or died in various accidents...

After witnessing Luo Ruying's powerful strength, Qi Yuan decided to entrust Luo Ruying with the task.

In fact, she didn't want to drag Luo Ruying into the dispute between the Qi family and the Jiang family. After all, there was another force behind the Jiang family.

But she really had no other choice but to ask Luo Ruying for help.

"Okay, I can help you fight on behalf of the Qi family."

Luo Ruying thought for a moment, and finally nodded slightly in agreement.

On the one hand, it was as a thank you for accepting the house, and on the other hand, she felt that if people like Jiang Li from the Jiang family continued to gain power in the city, people in the city might not be able to live a stable and happy life.

That's why she was willing to help Qi Yuan get through this difficult time.

"That's great! Thank you, Sister Luo!"

Qi Yuan bowed in gratitude, and the heavy stone in his heart seemed to be lighter.

"You're welcome."

"I'll just take it as payment for this house."

Luo Ruying shook her head and said.

"Sister Luo! I have another request for you!"

"Can you take me as your apprentice?"

"I can pay you extra!"

Qi Yuan looked conflicted for a moment, but still spoke to Luo Ruying expectantly.

The first time she saw Luo Ruying's gorgeous and graceful figure, she was deeply attracted.

Although her family has been in business for generations, she has a dream of achieving enlightenment through spiritual practice!

Luo Ruying didn't expect that Qi Yuan wanted to take her as his master. She looked at her in surprise and shook her head slightly apologetically.

"Sorry, I don't plan to accept a disciple."

She chose to live here temporarily just to lead a stable life, so she had no intention of taking in any disciples.

Besides, she was still being hunted, so she was even more reluctant to involve other people.

"Okay, sorry to bother Sister Luo..."

After being rejected, Qi Yuan looked very disappointed.

Since she was a child, she has sought out many monks to become their disciples and practice Buddhism, but was rejected without exception.

The reason was that she was injured when she was young, and there were old injuries in her body, which damaged and blocked her meridians, making it impossible for her to practice effectively.

Qi Yuan felt that Luo Ruying must have seen the problem with her and thought that she would not be able to practice and was not talented enough, so she rejected her...

"Sister Luo, if a person's meridians are damaged, does that mean that person will have no hope of practicing Taoism for the rest of his life?"

Qi Yuan looked up at Luo Ruying with a little reluctance and asked.

Luo Ruying saw who the man was referring to from Qi Yuan's expression. Although she felt bad about it, she still answered seriously:

"The meridians are where the cultivators absorb and transfer the spiritual energy in their bodies and in the heaven and earth. They are the foundation of the cultivators' practice."

"If you cannot absorb the spirit of heaven and earth, and cannot circulate the spiritual energy to nourish your body, you cannot truly practice."

"It can be said that the meridians in a person's body are equivalent to the paths to immortality."

"The denser and more spacious your meridians are, the flatter and longer they are, the further you can go on the path of cultivation."

"Is that so... As expected, I will never be able to practice cultivation in this lifetime..."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan's expression became even more gloomy and lost.

She wasn't actually that surprised.

Because she already knew this statement, she just asked it again to make herself give up completely.

"Sister Luo, I'll take my leave first..."

Just as Qi Yuan was about to turn around and say goodbye, Ning Yechen's chuckled voice sounded behind him:

"Of course you can't practice cultivation if your meridians are damaged, but wouldn't it be fine if we just restore the meridians in our body?"

After hearing this, Qi Yuan stood there in a daze, turned around and looked at Ning Yechen in surprise.

Of course she understands this principle.

But how many people in the world can restore their meridians?

She had never even heard of anyone who could restore damaged meridians!

And from what Ning Yechen said, it seemed that he had a way to restore her meridians!

"Brother Ning, can you... help me restore the damaged meridians in my body?"

Qi Yuan couldn't help but feel hope in her heart and she looked at Ning Yechen with anticipation.

“I know a little bit~”

Ning Yechen raised his head and said modestly.

Luo Ruying on the side also looked at Ning Yechen with some surprise.

It turns out that he also has medical skills and can heal damaged meridians?

This is an amazing ability!

If she had been an empress in the past, she could easily heal Qi Yuan's old meridian injuries, but now she has no way to do it.

And as a mere mortal, he seems to have a way? !

But thinking back carefully, it didn't seem strange that Ning Yechen would make medicinal porridge and very effective healing soup when she was injured.

Maybe he really knows something about medicine...?

"Brother Ning, can you please tell me what to do?"

"Do I need to prepare any medicinal herbs?"

Qi Yuan couldn't wait to get close to Ning Yechen and asked eagerly.

She had never been so excited!

Ning Yechen smiled and shook his head, saying:

“You don’t need to prepare anything.”

"Just follow me inside and take off your clothes."

"I'll give you a few injections~"
