Chapter 1129: Chapter 1133: The Village in Shock

Xia Liu quickly adjusted his expression.

What did he discover?

Within Old Zhi’s body, there were traces of Spiritual Energy.

Although the Dantian had withered.

But long ago, it definitely contained Spiritual Energy!

The small mountain village at the foot of Qingyun Mountain.

The old man’s body revealed traces of spirit.

The situation seemed to become clearer.

If Xia Liu’s suspicions are correct, Old Zhi must be a cultivator from the Qingyun Sect.

It was only due to some circumstance that his cultivation collapsed, and he then recuperated in this small village.

Or to put it another way, after his cultivation dissipated, he didn’t want to trouble the Qingyun Sect, so he left the sect and came to live outside its gates.

As for the exact reason, Xia Liu did not know.

But it’s certain that Old Zhi is definitely connected to the Qingyun Sect.

As for the others, they were still a mystery, only by diagnosing their pulses would more be revealed.

“Elder Zhi, your body is healthy, apart from some rheumatism, there’s nothing much to worry about. I’ll go up the mountain later to gather some herbs, ensuring the medicine will cure the illness.”

“Ha! Xia Liu truly is amazing. Old Zhi’s rheumatism has been there for several years, and ordinary doctors couldn’t even detect it.”

“Indeed, he is quite skillful.”

“Looks like we’ll all be saved today!”

…

Seeing Xia Liu easily pinpoint the hidden problems in Old Zhi’s body, everyone was thrilled.

Only Xia Liu remained bitter.

Because he saw through everyone.

They might all be in disguise.

“Next, Elder Sun, please, let me take a look at your leg injury.”

“Alright!”

Old Sun was not polite, his leg injury had persisted for years. If Xia Liu could heal it, it would indeed be miraculous.

After diagnosing Old Sun’s pulse, Xia Liu closed his eyes, pondering for a long time.

“Xia Liu, how is it? Is there any chance of recovery?”

Seeing Xia Liu close his eyes in thought, Old Sun asked with a smile.

He had no confidence left in his injury.

As time passed, he cared less and less.

To grow old and die slowly with everyone else was already satisfying.

“I can cure you.”

After a long silence, Xia Liu suddenly chuckled lightly.

With Xia Liu’s words spreading, the scene immediately became silent.

Old Sun’s face began to grow excited: “That’s impossible!”

“Elder Sun, don’t be excited, my medical skills are inherited from my ancestors, I have this capability.”

Xia Liu said seriously.

“Impossible! Xia Liu, don’t deceive us. The meridians in Old Sun’s leg are completely severed, and it’s been ten years.”

Faced with Xia Liu’s untruth, Old Zhi stood up.

Old Sun’s injury was far too severe compared to his own.

How could it possibly be healed?

“Indeed, healing Elder Sun’s leg is very difficult, but that’s only for an individual case. I have the ability to heal it.”

“Xia Liu, don’t exaggerate, I’m well aware of my own leg.”

Seeing Xia Liu like this, Old Sun quickly reminded him.

“Elder Sun, if my guess is correct, your leg was injured by a powerful Spirit Art, the marrow was extracted, and the meridians were shattered. It probably took countless Spiritual Medicines to save your leg.”

Xia Liu straightforwardly revealed.

He didn’t hide anything anymore, he dared to assert that the elders of this village were cultivators before!

They were injured, lost their cultivation, and ended up in this place.

It also explained why everyone had scars on their bodies.

Among them, Old Sun’s situation was quite severe, with both leg meridians shattered and no marrow at all.

His legs were like steel frames, mere decorations attached to his body.

One could imagine how brutal the attacker must have been.

“You!”

Old Sun couldn’t help but narrow his eyes.

Indeed, just as Xia Liu said, but how could he see through it by diagnosing the pulse?

Even the Great Elder of the Qingyun Sect couldn’t possibly have such a mysterious ability.

“There’s no need for anyone to hide it anymore. It’s very strange to have a village under the Qingyun Sect, even stranger to have so many injured people.”

Xia Liu glanced around and said.

Then, everyone fell into silence.

The smiles on their faces gradually dimmed, replaced by bitter smiles.

They thought they had hidden well, only to be discovered after all.

“When did you find out?”

Old Zhi changed his previous attitude, looking at Xia Liu with a cold, solemn expression.

“I had my suspicions when I came here, but I confirmed it after diagnosing the pulses.”

Xia Liu replied.

“You are very wise, but even if you know our identities, there’s no need to deceive us, right?”

Old Zhi continued, “Indeed, we are from the Qingyun Sect, but after losing our cultivation, we came here to live quietly. We’ve already forgotten about our injuries, yet you claim to be able to heal us. Do you think we are easily fooled?”

“Yes! Even the Great Elder and Sect Leader couldn’t heal us.”

“The sect exhausted all Spiritual Medicines and sought famous doctors across the world to help us recover, but nothing worked. What makes you think you can do it at such a young age?”

“The moment I saw you, I knew you were a cultivator and wanted to join the Qingyun Sect. You have good nature and character, but you shouldn’t deceive us about the injuries.”

…

The elders changed their previous praise, now all turning against Xia Liu.

The scars on their bodies were marks of a lifetime.

They could not forget.

Yet Xia Liu brought it up in these circumstances, claiming he could heal them.

How could they not be angry?

Standing by the side, Xia Liu remained silent, these elders were all quite old.

Due to the injuries on their bodies, their hearts were probably on the brink of collapse.

The best course of action was to wait until they calmed down to explain things clearly.

After being angry for a long time, the elderly with hidden ailments slowly calmed down.

As for Xia Liu, wanting to enter the Qingyun Sect was absolutely impossible!

They would not agree!

Even if he managed to join, they would complain to the Great Elder and Sect Master that this young man’s character and morals were unfit.

“My elder masters, I was a bit impulsive earlier, here I apologize to all of you.”

Xia Liu very respectfully bowed to everyone.

“Ah, young people are impulsive, that’s understandable.”

“Alright, go out and think well, the saying ‘trouble comes from the mouth’ isn’t entirely wrong.”

“You are very young, but the younger you are, the more you should know to hide your capabilities, not boast about them only to end up helpless.”

…

Xia Liu’s apology prompted more teachings from the elders.

However, their sentiments gradually settled, nothing like the initial intensity.

“The elder masters are correct, but I still want to say, I can heal Elder Sun’s leg, and I’ll start right away!”

…

Xia Liu’s words left everyone in a daze.

They suddenly realized they couldn’t understand the young generation of cultivators.

Old Sun’s leg had been treated by countless famous doctors ten years ago.

Those doctors held terrifying status across Huaxia.

Yet after seeing Old Sun’s injuries, each one shook their heads and sighed.

Young Xia Liu insisted he could heal it, which was somewhat unbelievable…
