C367 Snow's Old Ailment
Nie Zhen's words did not let anyone down. The words that came out of his mouth finally moved Elder Xue. At this moment, Nie Zhen's figure had become extremely mysterious in Elder Xue's eyes.
As the name implied, Hevenly God Stage had already exceeded the boundaries of humans and reached the realm of gods. Such a realm, at least amongst the current stage of cultivation, was non-existent, and far surpassed the Origin Stage that was currently known to all.
Elder Xue could guarantee that even the people at the top of the Five Great Divine Kingdom may not even know of the existence of Hevenly God Stage, yet these words had actually come from the mouth of a young man from one of the three great empires.
"Phew …" How do you know the realm of Hevenly God Stage? " Elder Xue took a deep breath and couldn't help but ask Nie Zhen.
Nie Zhen smiled at Elder Xue and said, "Junior will keep this young man in suspense. Elder Xue just needs to tell me if he has reached Hevenly God Stage or not, and he will have the qualifications."
"Yes." Since Nie Zhen already knew about the existence of Hevenly God Stage, Elder Xue had no need to hold back, but Elder Xue couldn't help but ask: "But do you know what Hevenly God Stage actually means? You know about Hevenly God Stage, and you still think that you can cultivate to this level? "
Nie Zhen said indifferently: "Un, it should not be a problem. Hevenly God Stage say that it is to become a god, but from another point of view, it is just a powerful cultivator, so there is nothing impossible about it."
Nie Zhen's tone was very indifferent, but Elder Xue and Xue'er could hear that he was full of confidence.
Elder Xue really didn't understand where Nie Zhen's confidence came from. However, he could feel the aura from Nie Zhen's body. That indomitable momentum gave him an inexplicable confidence in this young man.
"Phew …" Alright, junior has no more questions. " Nie Zhen let out a long sigh and said to Elder Xue with a smile.
"You have no other questions?" In Elder Xue's opinion, Nie Zhen should have a bellyful of problems right now.
However, Nie Zhen shook his head and said, "No, what's left is the thing you said about Xue Er. I think even if I didn't ask, Elder Xue would have told me."
Elder Xue looked deeply at Nie Zhen. Obviously, Nie Zhen didn't care about their background. He only knew that he cared about Yan Ruoxue. Such a person had a clear purpose and was the most persistent.
Elder Xue looked at Yan Ruoxue and sighed, "Eh... Alright, this old man will tell you now. "
In fact, Xue'er has been suffering from a strange illness since she was young. Even in terms of Tianji Island, it has been difficult for all the alchemists to recover from this illness, so in the end, this old man found a very famous Master Prophet in Tianji Island — Shen Ji. He predicted that Xue'er's illness in the Three Great Empires would be changed, so I brought Xue'er here to try my luck.
"Xue'er has an old illness?" Nie Zhen was suspicious. According to his eyes, Yan Ruoxue's face was rosy and had a strong life force. She was definitely not a sick person and she did not seem to have been poisoned. However, he did not interrupt Elder Xue and continued to listen.
Elder Xue continued: "Nie Zhen, just as you guessed before, I and Xue'er have been paying attention to you for a long time, starting from you disguising yourself to enter Origin Sect and killing a genius disciple with Origin Sect in the forest."
Nie Zhen recalled that it was probably because he had killed Origin Sect Yu Baitian. Unexpectedly, at that time, he thought that Origin Sect was flawless, but in the end, it was still seen by Elder Xue and the others.
"After we discovered your talent, this old man guessed that you might be the person that Shen Ji Zi predicted to be, so this old man specially went to find Sovereign Tai Yi and had him arrange a set of Pill Tao Competition. As for the Martial Tao Competition, that was just to add on, so that we could test you.
It was only then that Nie Zhen suddenly realized that Elder Xue was behind the two matches arranged by the Jiugong Sect.
But now that he thought about it, everything seemed to make sense. The two prizes that Jiugong Sect's people were able to obtain were naturally from Elder Xue, and because of Elder Xue, Jiugong Sect did not dare to take these two Spirit Treasures for themselves.
Relying on Elder Xue's cultivation, he only took out two Totems, which were only two pieces of stock from the gaps between his teeth.
Yan Ruoxue glanced at Elder Xue, guilt flashed across her eyes. Elder Xue really did put in a lot of effort for her. At the beginning, Nie Zhen was just a nobody, but Elder Xue had to follow her and follow her closely.
At this time, Yan Ruoxue said to Nie Zhen, "Young Master Nie, Elder Xue indeed loves me very much. I didn't know that I would be with you one day. I just didn't want to disappoint him. I just didn't expect that now …"
Nie Zhen naturally knew what Yan Ruoxue meant. Yan Ruoxue did not fall in love with him back then, so with Yan Ruoxue's experience, she naturally did not keep a close eye on him. In the end, the reason why she came to Jiugong Sect was due to Elder Xue's suggestion.
Sometimes, fate would not be able to stop it. If it wasn't because of Yan Ruoxue's whim, she would also participate in the competition to test Nie Zhen. Otherwise, she wouldn't have gotten to know Nie Zhen, even to the point that her heart was tied to him.
Elder Xue let out a long breath and said to Nie Zhen, "Nie Zhen, I've told you the whole story. Now I leave Xue'er's old illness to you. If even you can't do anything about it, then I really have no other choice..."
Nie Zhen could be said to be Elder Xue's last hope. If Shen Ji's calculations were correct, then Nie Zhen was the only alchemist in the three empires.
Not to mention that Yan Ruoxue's old illness was recurring more and more frequently, so they didn't have time to look for new pill dao experts.
Speaking to this, Nie Zhen looked at Yan Ruoxue with suspicion. If he didn't believe Yan Ruoxue and Elder Xue would be so bored to make up such a lie to divert his attention, Nie Zhen would have thought Elder Xue was messing with him.
Because no matter how he looked at it, even when he used the Asura Pupil Technique, he couldn't find any signs of an illness on Yan Ruoxue's body, nor did he notice any signs of poison on her body.0
Moreover, since this place was not in public, Yan Ruoxue did not need to hide her cultivation level. Nie Zhen could feel that Yan Ruoxue was hiding an incomparably strong power inside her body, so much so that this power was much stronger than Sovereign Tai Yi's.
Nie Zhen had never heard that someone with such a high cultivation level would actually get sick.
Elder Xue and Lili both knew Nie Zhen's doubts, but they also understood Nie Zhen, and if they took Nie Zhen's side, it would be odd.
Nie Zhen observed Yan Ruoxue's expression for a while, but he was still unable to find anything. No matter how he observed, Yan Ruoxue didn't seem to be someone with a strange illness.
Immediately, Nie Zhen said to Yan Ruoxue, "Xue'er, I'll use the golden needles to check your condition. Lift up your wrist."
Yan Ruoxue obediently lifted her right arm, revealing her pure white wrist.
Nie Zhen took out the golden needle that Sovereign Mu Yan had given him before. He stabbed a needle into Yan Ruoxue's wrist, forcing the spiritual power into a thin thread, then he inserted it into Yan Ruoxue's body through the golden needle.
Nie Zhen's Spiritual Sense followed the meridians in Yan Ruoxue's body and circulated through them several times. Whether it was Yan Ruoxue's meridians, her blood vessels, or even her internal organs and Dantian, Nie Zhen had checked them over and over but still couldn't find anything wrong with Yan Ruoxue's body.
After Nie Zhen finished his training, he frowned towards Elder Xue and Yan Ruoxue, "Xue'er, Elder Xue, it's not that I don't believe you, but I really didn't find anything wrong with it. Elder Xue, you said that Xue'er would have a disease, then what was the symptom when it happened?"
Elder Xue let out a long sigh and said, "Xue'er's first attack was when she was six or seven years old, and every six years or so, her body would be hot or cold at times, and she would fall into a coma. At the same time, her body would twitch occasionally, and her face would turn ashen, and then for at least ten days, or at least three to five days, Xue'er would recover her consciousness.
Yan Ruoxue sighed helplessly. Actually, she was still alright. After all, she didn't feel anything when she fainted.
Elder Xue continued to speak: "This is still the same as before, until now Xue'er has been sick once in less than a month, during the Jiugong Sect competition, Xue'er was sick once, and almost every time she was sick, there was a huge loss of life energy. According to the calculations of the alchemists in Tianji Island, if Xue'er is still not cured within this year, I am afraid she will not be able to survive …"
"There's such a strange illness?" Nie Zhen frowned as he sat cross-legged on the ground. His mind was continuously flipping through the records of the Medicine King Scripture.
"Could it be the Soul-Breaking Poison? That's not right... Could it be a rare God Slaughterer Miasma? No, if it's a God Slaughterer Miasma, it should be impossible for me to not be able to find it … " Nie Zhen simulated all sorts of possibilities in his mind, but they were all overturned one by one.
Because these possibilities were either not completely compatible with Yan Ruoxue's illness or there was no reason for him to be unable to find out for himself.
Seeing Nie Zhen frown and ponder, Elder Xue's heart was in his throat. He was anxious to hear Nie Zhen's answer, but he was afraid that Nie Zhen would say a conclusion that he himself did not know.
As time passed, Elder Xue's initial hope had gradually turned into disappointment. Even this youth who had repeatedly created miracles was powerless against him.
"Forget it, Young Master Nie. Actually, I don't care that much about this disease. At worst, I'll just sleep for a few more days." Yan Ruoxue couldn't bear to let Nie Zhen keep thinking in such a painful manner, so she kindly advised him to give up.
At this moment, Yan Ruoxue's voice was like a ray of sunlight penetrating his brain. Nie Zhen suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Elder Xue.
