Chapter 66: All Because of the Scriptures

  That stream composed of countless tiny tributaries was obviously much stronger than the medicinal power produced by the other elixirs that Ling Xiao had taken previously. As soon as it came into contact with that small hot flow, it suddenly split apart and then merged again, wrapping that small hot flow within itself.

  Because it is formed by the convergence of hundreds and thousands of small clear streams, the tenacity of this stream is also much stronger. The small hot stream rushes left and right in that clear stream, but surprisingly, it cannot break through the encirclement of that clear stream.

  Perhaps an ordinary person can easily pluck a single hair, but to pluck a handful of hair is almost impossible, and this clear stream is just like that.

  As the clear streams in the meridians continue to emerge, the clear streams that envelop the hot stream are also increasing and becoming denser, and surprisingly, they seem to be merging.

  If that clear stream which had been twisted into a rope-like shape were to merge into one body, it would be even more difficult for the hot current to break through the encirclement.

  At this moment, the hot flow suddenly became finer and more slender, and the top of the hot flow also became as thin as a needle, with a sudden surge in strength. In that instant, the hot flow actually broke through the clear flow and escaped quickly.

  That clear stream followed closely behind, and along the way, all sorts of impurities within Ling Luo's body were destroyed.

  At this moment, eight hot streams suddenly appeared in the meridians, and the escaping hot stream quickly merged with those eight hot streams, gathered into one, and rushed towards the clear stream produced by the creation of the elixir that followed closely behind.

  "Ah..."

  Ling Luo Yu let out a mournful cry, and Chen Zhang Lao, who was protecting Ling Luo Yu's meridians, was also blown away for several meters, falling to the ground with a thread of fresh blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

  "Luoyu! How are you!" Old Man Chen jumped up and strode over to Ling Luoyu's side, asking anxiously.

  "Master, I've failed again!" Ling Luoyu gritted his teeth against the pain in his body and shook his head lightly.

  The power of the nine converging hot currents was impossible to estimate, and the clear current produced by the creation of the Dan was unable to resist the impact of the hot current. It was shattered into pieces and swallowed up one by one, including the green airflow that Chen Zhanglao had injected into Ling Luofei's dantian. If Chen Zhanglao hadn't reacted quickly enough, the hot current might have already followed the green airflow into Ling Luofei's body, rather than just sending her flying several meters away as it did now.

  "How can this be? Although the legendary Heavenly Pulse is said to be divine, it shouldn't be this terrifying! I'm already in the Dan-forming stage, yet this force is something that even I couldn't resist. If this isn't the Heavenly Pulse, then what exactly is it?" Elder Chen furrowed his brow, his eyes widening as he stared at Ling Luoye, hoping to find some clues on his body.

  "How could this be? Ling Luoye's body doesn't even have the slightest hint of magical energy fluctuations anymore?" Chen Chang suddenly discovered that Ling Luoye, who had always had a strong magical aura about him, now looked just like an ordinary person, with no signs of magical energy fluctuations to be found.

  "It's impossible, if it were really Tian Mai, it would be impossible for him to take the Zhuohua Dan and not have even the slightest fluctuation in his Fa Li. Unless..." Chen Changlao suddenly thought of another possibility, and his face immediately turned ugly.

  To help Ling Luoyu unblock his meridians and officially start his cultivation, Elder Chen can be said to have paid a great deal, even abandoning his own dignity in order to obtain a single Cihuang Dan.

  There is a return for every investment, and the reason why Chen Lao did so much can only be attributed to one thing: he was convinced that Ling Luoyu was a Heaven's Chosen One, and no matter how much he invested in him, he felt it was worth it.

  If Ling Luoyu was just a young man with a terminal illness and not the real Tian Mai, then Old Man Chen would truly have no way to return his investment.

  Chen Chang Lao's expression changed and he said coldly: "Luo Yu, take me to your cave mansion for a trip. I have some questions to ask you!"

  Ling Luoyu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, for he had caught a hint of malice in his master's tone, and felt a sense of foreboding.

  Ling Luo hesitated for a moment and said: "Master, can I take a short rest now before going on?"

  Chen Laolao let out a cold snort, grabbed Ling Luoyu and rushed towards the cave where Ling Luoyu was located without caring about his feelings.

  Zao Hua Dan couldn't even clear Ling Luoyu's meridians, and Elder Chen had completely lost hope in him. Of course, he wouldn't be polite to him anymore.

  Originally, the gentle and amiable Elder Chen Lingyu had also become ferocious at this moment, just like a gambler who had lost all his bets and was now frantic.

  Arriving at Ling Luoye's cave, Old Man Chen casually threw Ling Luoye to the ground and said coldly: "Luoye, I only want to ask you one question, hoping you can answer honestly?"

  It's hard to predict people's hearts, even his own master who has always doted on him is now like this. Ling Luoyu was secretly feeling sad, but thinking of the kindness Chen Changlao had shown him over the past few months, he still nodded in agreement.

  Chen Laolao glanced at Ling Luoyu and sternly asked: "Is there anything special on your body that you haven't mentioned?"

  Ling Luo thought for a moment, shook her head and said: "No, I only have a few long clothes on me, there's nothing special at all!"

  "Really nothing? Don't lie to me. You should have been carrying that thing with you all the time, but today you didn't bring it!"

  Elder Chen didn't know anything at all, it's just that the previous few times he saw Ling Luoyu, there was a fluctuation of spiritual energy on his body, but today there wasn't any, so Elder Chen's words were purely his own speculation.

  "Didn't you bring it with you today? What is that thing?" Ling Luoyu thought for half a day, but still couldn't think of what that thing was.

  "Ah, that must be it!" Ling Luo's wings fluttered rapidly as she ran to the head of the bed and picked up a jade box. Inside the box was a book, its name being "The Lotus Sutra".

  Originally, this Lotus Sutra had always been carried with him, because every time the nine yang pulse acted up at noon, he would take out this book and feel that the pain on his body was much weaker, which was also his habit over the years. However, when he went to see Old Man Chen this time, it was already near sunset, so Ling Luoye didn't bring the scripture with him.

  However, when Old Man Chen saw Ling Luoyu pick up the Lotus Sutra, his face turned uglier than a pig's liver.

  Because he found that a large number of golden light spots escaped from this scripture, evenly falling on Ling Luoyu's body, and these golden light spots were the culprits he had always thought Ling Luoyu was the heavenly vein.
