The once powerful genius Lin Chen

"You are a doctor?"

The guard couldn't help but ask Liuyun once more, after all, the other party was still a kid. Liuyun held on his proud countenance, his confidence unwavering and he replied with a voice that was neither soft nor loud, yet it seemed to carry within a hidden sense of dominance.

"Indeed I am, need me to further prove it?"

The guard's mind blanked out and he couldn't respond at all, Liuyun took it that the guard still wasn't convince and he sighed deeply. He continued and turned to look at the other guards, his head turned to one of the guards on the left and he pointed to him.

"Your mingmen point hurts when you cultivate and when you try to cultivate, your cultivation seem to be unable to improve. You probably battled against multiple cultivators and injured it during the battle, hmm probably injured by a spear?"

The guard he pointed to, shivered for a moment before he immediately got on his kneeled and kowtowed to Liuyun.

"Please help me, great doctor! You know my condition so well despite only seeing me once so you must have ways to help me!"

All of the guards that saw the scene was shocked, it was not because of how Liuyun figured out the condition of the guard that he pointed to, but because of the guard that knelt down. Kneeling down in this era was equivalent to completely throwing their families faces, the guard in front of them was the weakest of them all, yet he was also the proudest warrior they had. Seeing how he immediately knelt down to Liuyun begging him to cure him, their hearts were slightly sour.

The guard that knelt down used to be a genius, during a battle for the family clan that occurred 3 years ago, he was stabbed by a spear right before he killed all his enemies. The spear dug deep yet somehow he managed to survive, but from that day on, his cultivation never improved at all. He was once a genius yet he was forced to become a useless waste that cannot cultivate, he was indignant. Even after all these years he never once lost his pride and vigorously trained. How much pain did his heart undergo through! How much blood and sweat did he put in for all these years!

Liuyun was slightly surprised at how he knelt down but he quickly helped him up, he had a bright smile on his face and his expression was no longer cold.

"Don't worry, I can cure you. But you will have to suffer a fair bit and might even die from the treatment. Are you sure you can do it?"

"No problem! As long as I can return back to my state before I injured myself pain is nothing! True pain is when you can't do the things you have to do! For the glory of the Lin clan and for my own glory I can withstand even the fiery flames of hell!"

"Excellent! Brother guard you have my respects! I will put in my 100… no 1000% of my best to cure you!"

"This one is called Lin Chen, I thank young master Liuyun beforehand!"

Liuyun truly admired people like Lin Chen, for his clan and for his future, he did his best in everything and with a clear conscience too. Liuyun gestured for Lin Chen to sit down and take his shirt off, Lin Chen did exactly what he said and left his fate in Liuyun's hands. There were some guards that tried to stop Lin Chen but he rejected their offer.

"Young master Liuyun, My fate is in your hands… Even if you can't cure me, it is fine."

"Heh! It's only an injured Mingmen yet you are already thanking me like this? Even if you are on the last of your breath I can still revive you, much less an acupuncture point."

Such arrogant words probably even the medical sage of the current era did not dare to say, yet Liuyun dared to. Liuyun took out 3 needles and inserted it into Lin Chen's Mingmen, hell and heaven gate points. Soon after, he transformed his death nature energy into life energy and quickly passed it through the acupuncture points of Lin Chen.

Initially, the pain was bearable for Lin Chen, yet as time continued on, it seemingly became more painful and soon Lin Chen couldn't help but started to shout in pain. The other guards' forehead leaked out cold sweat and their breathing got rougher, they were anxious and they seemed to felt a slight sensation of the pain.

Lin Chen never once let out a voice during even the harshest and painful training, yet now he was like a dying bird being eaten out by lions as he screamed in desperation.

Liuyun continued to insert the life energy into him and changed his hand signs from time to time, his eyes scrunched together and back slightly wet with sweat. Lin Chen, on the other hand, was about to faint and die in pain, he wanted the suffering to end so badly yet he couldn't.

He was unable to hold on, pain wracking his body. The reasons why he cultivated began to flash before him as he struggled. The deep desire for strength, to have the power to protect his loved ones. The memory of his parents dying to bandits, his sister being brutally raped and sold as a whore. The agonizing feeling of being unable to do anything but watch as everything he loved was ripped apart and taken from him.

Lin Chen was taken in by the Lin Clan and trained by them, he left to pick her up and wanted to protect her this time. But when he reached the brothel, he found out that his sister was killed during her work just the day before he arrived.

'For sister… For revenge…! I can't die here!!!"

Lin Chen gave out a loud battle cry and his eyes opened up with coldness in it. His aura exploded and blew back everyone around him except Liuyun.

"What happened?!"

The guards quickly stood up and when they looked at Lin Chen, their eyeballs seemed to almost pop out from their bodies.

"He broke through!! Motherfucker! Lin Chen broke through from the spirit realm to the ascended realm!"

One guard noticed it and everyone had their jaws agape...
