After returning to the village, start chasing the mountain from binding Emei

Chapter 815 Suppressing Jing Chen: His cultivation was stolen!

"roll!"

Jing Chen was like a maddened beast. With a flick of his right hand, the iron chain snapped on the ground, kicking up a stone that flew directly towards Chen Yang.

"Oh!"

Chen Yang didn't dodge; a burst of spiritual sword energy shot out, instantly shattering the stone into dust.

"Ho!"

Jing Chen, seemingly insane, immediately charged towards Chen Yang, letting out a beast-like roar.

The iron chains rattled and jingled.

He was incredibly fast, arriving in front of Chen Yang in an instant and throwing a punch directly at Chen Yang's face.

However, the punch didn't land for a long time, stopping less than a meter away from Chen Yang.

The chains were stretched taut to their limit, and he could no longer get any closer to Chen Yang.

"Ho..."

Jing Chen let out heavy breathing, his chest heaving violently. His hair was disheveled, and his beard, which hadn't been groomed in a long time, completely obscured his appearance, making it impossible to tell what he looked like. Only his pair of red eyes were filled with anger and madness.

Clearly, he has lost his mind.

Chen Yang didn't waste any words on a madman. He glanced at the mountain-suppressing stele deep inside the cave.

He suddenly took a step forward, using a scouting move to grab Jing Chen's wrist.

Although Jingchen was crazy, she was not to be trifled with. Seeing Chen Yang's attack, she immediately reacted, pulled her wrist back to avoid Chen Yang's attack, and took several steps back to bring Chen Yang into her attack range.

"Humph!"

Jing Chen's aura surged, and she suddenly took another step forward, swinging her fist at Chen Yang.

Chen Yang was naturally unafraid and immediately threw a punch to meet the attack.

Unlike Yu Huaizhen, he wouldn't be so concerned about this or that, and thus wouldn't hold back against the person in front of him.

"Oh!"

Their fists collided.

Chen Yang felt as if he had been hit by a tank, and his whole body was uncontrollably backward.

Jingchen was clearly not in good shape either. She was also thrown back rapidly by the force of the impact, and was only able to stabilize herself by being pulled back by the iron chains on her body.

"Die, die!"

Jingchen went completely mad and immediately lunged at Chen Yang again, looking like she didn't recognize anyone, her roar echoing throughout the cave.

Its appearance was even more ferocious than a mandrill in its berserk state.

Chen Yang suddenly unleashed his golden body, a faint golden light emanating from his body, and his aura surged.

Faced with Jing Chen's aggressive aura, Chen Yang did not retreat but advanced, directly engaging Jing Chen in combat.

Punches came crashing down.

This Jingchen is indeed strong, but not as outrageous as Yu Huaizhen described.

His physical strength should be around 300, and in a berserk state, it should be over 600. With the amplification of his internal energy, he should have the power of four dragons.

Yu Huaizhen was reluctant to fight, so he could only retreat when he encountered him. But Chen Yang was different; he didn't care whether he would hurt or injure the other party!
Punch to the flesh!

As long as Yu Huaizhen doesn't come in to stop him, he can beat the other party into submission.

In his golden form, the difference in skill was immediately apparent. Jing Chen was forced to retreat repeatedly, his previous ferocity noticeably diminished.

Chen Yang took out the Medicine King Needle and seized the opportunity to stab Jing Chen with it.

More than ten silver needles were inserted one after another, and the effect was remarkable. Jingchen's punches became weaker and weaker, and his violent aura gradually subsided.

Chen Yang first sealed his main meridians, making him unable to muster any energy. Then he sealed his important acupoints, restricting his movements. Finally, he pierced the Baihui acupoint with a needle and said, "Please stop thinking."

As the silver needle pierced the Baihui acupoint, Jingchen froze on the spot, her eyes glazed over, as if she were utterly exhausted.

"what……"

He let out a long roar, then closed his eyes and fell backward.

"Have a child?"

Yu Huaizhen entered the cave and saw Jingchen collapse. He immediately panicked.

Chen Yang said, "He's just unconscious, Senior Yu, there's no need to be nervous. I can examine him while he's asleep!"

asleep?

Yu Huaizhen quickly checked on Jingchen's condition and found that she had indeed fallen into a deep sleep, which put her mind at ease.

Looking at Jingchen in his arms, Yu Huaizhen was overwhelmed with emotions.

Jingchen is his great-grandson, a descendant on whom he once placed great hopes. Although he has become like this now, Yu Huaizhen still feels heartache for him.

"Senior, let me take a look."

Chen Yang said, "If you want to take something from someone else, you naturally have to do something for them too."

Reciprocity is key; otherwise, you'll incur debts of gratitude.

Yu Huaizhen nodded and carried Jingchen to the bed. Jingchen lay quietly, and it had been a long time since he had seen him so peaceful.

Although he didn't expect Chen Yang's medical skills to be particularly outstanding, he figured he might as well try anything, even if it seemed hopeless.

Chen Yang came to the bedside, removed the silver needle from Jing Chen's head, and pressed it on.

The mental energy instantly penetrated Jingchen's body, giving him a thorough, all-around scan.

Heartbreak, emotional distress?
If it really is this kind of illness, it's actually not difficult to treat at all. Psychological illnesses, especially emotional trauma, should be the easiest to cure.

It's said that the best way to heal a broken relationship is to start another one, introduce him to some girls, and things will naturally get better.

Unless this person is stubborn and insists on being a Casanova.

But even if he were to encounter a Casanova, Chen Yang could simply use his pupil technique to make him forget that memory.

Forget about it, and it will all be fine.

Since so many famous doctors have come to see him, including Xue Chonghua, and they all said it was heartbreak and lovesickness, then there probably aren't any other problems.

Chen Yang planned to give him a quick check-up before immediately using his pupil technique to hypnotize him, addressing both the symptoms and the root cause.

This is also why he could guarantee that Yu Huaizhen could be cured.

However, after Chen Yang examined Jing Chen's body, he suddenly realized that things were not so simple.

Damn, these symptoms are kind of like those of Qiling San (a traditional Chinese medicine for treating illnesses).

Jingchen's spiritual platform space is significantly larger than that of other cultivators at the same level, but the walls of his spiritual platform are much thinner, and there are obvious folds on the walls.

It's like a balloon that's been inflated and then deflated.

His spiritual gate also seemed to have shrunk, unable to close tightly, with cracks allowing spiritual energy to escape.

It was precisely because of these tiny cracks that Chen Yang was able to detect some of the situation within his spiritual space.

These symptoms really do resemble those of Qiling San (a traditional Chinese medicine).

and……

Chen Yang's pupils contracted slightly as he withdrew his mental energy.

"How about it?"

Yu Huaizhen noticed that his expression was unusual and quickly asked him what was wrong.

Chen Yang's face was very serious. "I have some guesses, but I can't be completely sure."

Upon hearing this, Yu Huaizhen's face lit up with hope. "Young friend, tell me quickly."

Chen Yang nodded slightly. "Senior, have you ever heard of the Spirit Awakening Powder?"

"Awakening Powder?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Huaizhen frowned slightly. The Mengding Hu family had been purged and brought down recently because of the Qiling Powder incident, a matter that had caused quite a stir; how could he not know? He nodded and said, "You mean, Sheng'er was poisoned by the Qiling Powder?"

Then he shook his head, "That's impossible. Some time ago, after the Hu family incident, I also had the same suspicion. I specifically took a blood sample from Sheng'er and sent it for official testing, but no Qi Ling San was detected..."

The authorities are capable of detecting Qi Ling San. Not long ago, Chen Yang encountered a flock of sparrows, and because of that suspicion, they sent samples to the authorities for testing, which confirmed that Qi Ling San was the culprit.

Yu Huaizhen had also tested Jingchen, so she was certain it wasn't Qiling Powder.

Chen Yang waved his hand, "Senior Yu, please don't jump to conclusions. I only said the symptoms are somewhat similar to Qi Ling San, not that it is definitely..."

"Moreover, Master Jingchen's accident happened more than ten years ago. In the years since, the Li and Hu families have been improving the formula of Qiling Powder. The Qiling Powder from more than ten years ago must be different from the Qiling Powder of today..."

"If the official testing uses the latest Qiling San formula, the possibility of false positives cannot be ruled out."

"Furthermore, Qiling Powder is addictive. He hasn't taken it for over ten years, so he's most likely quit. The drug's components have probably been metabolized by his body, making it highly possible that it's undetectable..."

……

Chen Yang's words were incredibly eloquent and logical.

Yu Huaizhen also became serious at this moment. At first, he thought that Chen Yang was young and inexperienced and unreliable, but now it seems that there may really be a saying that the younger generation can be formidable and that the student can surpass the teacher.

Although Xue Chonghua is a skilled doctor, as Chen Yang said, he has no cultivation and relies solely on experience. Perhaps he is not as insightful as Chen Yang.

"Since there are no drug residues left, why has his condition worsened in recent years? Why are he having more and more episodes of madness?" Yu Huaizhen asked earnestly.

Chen Yang said, "Although the Qi Ling San has been discontinued, its damage to the body is still there. He is already mentally unstable and has developed a mental illness. What he needs is communication and companionship. You have locked him up here for more than ten years in darkness. Anyone would go crazy if you put him in this situation!"

"This……"

Yu Huaizhen paused upon hearing this.

Indeed, no matter who it was, being locked up in this place for over ten years, what's so bad about going crazy? It's a miracle they didn't suffocate.

However, Jingchen's madness is so severe that he becomes extremely aggressive and could easily injure someone. Keeping him here is a choice made out of necessity.

Chen Yang said, "However, by locking him up here, you inadvertently helped him break his dependence on the Qi-enhancing Powder. Otherwise, if he had continued taking the drug, he probably wouldn't be alive now..."

Although he couldn't be 100% certain it was the Qi-Qi Powder, Chen Yang had already accepted in his heart that it was the cause.

The symptoms are so similar.

"Why are Doctor Xue and the others..." Yu Huaizhen was a little puzzled.

So many people couldn't see it, but Chen Yang did?

Chen Yang said, "I don't know about others, but Doctor Xue should be able to see the crux of the problem. As for why he doesn't say anything, perhaps he's afraid of offending someone!"

Afraid of offending people?

Who offended?
The Hu family? The Li family?
Upon hearing this, Yu Huaizhen frowned slightly.

Chen Yang said, "Senior Yu may not know, but there is a woman in the Xue family who was also poisoned by the Li family's Qi Ling San. However, the Xue family did not make trouble for the Li family over this matter. It can be imagined that Doctor Xue was aware of the Qi Ling San and dared not offend the power behind it."

Given Xue Kaiqi's status in the Xue family and how much Xue Chonghua values ​​her, it's understandable that he couldn't cure the Qiling Powder poison. However, the fact that he didn't cause trouble for the Li family because of Xue Kaiqi's situation is a bit surprising.

Given Xue Chonghua's status and position, is it really that difficult for him to summon several experts to punish the Li family?

Either it's the work of the benevolent corpse worms, or he knows the power behind it all.

Behind the Li family is not just Li Changfu; what truly threatens their lives is the old camphor tree on Jianmen Mountain, and the many spiritual plants that the Li family has been secretly cultivating.

Yu Huaizhen's expression was serious. "So, young friend, you mean that Sheng'er's madness might be related to the Li family of the Sword Sect?"

Xue Chonghua is the son-in-law of the Hu family in Mengding, so it's normal for him to know some of the things the Hu and Li families do in secret.

Therefore, it is entirely plausible that he discovered the cause of Jingchen's illness but chose to conceal it.

After Chen Yang's analysis, Yu Huaizhen's heart gradually began to lean towards him.

“The Li family of Jianmen and the Hu family of Mengding have been secretly researching Qiling Powder for decades. So, if Daoist Jingchen’s illness is caused by Qiling Powder, then these two families are the most suspicious. Of course, if it is not Qiling Powder, then that’s another story…” Chen Yang said.

Yu Huaizhen's face was grim, and his fists clenched.

"I'm afraid you're right, young friend." After a long pause, he finally managed to utter a sentence.

"How so?" Chen Yang asked.

Yu Huaizhen said, "According to several disciples who went down the mountain with Sheng'er back then, they were the women he met at Jianmen Mountain, and Sheng'er traveled to many places with her afterward..."

"I later asked the Li family for help in finding that woman, but we couldn't find her. Now that I think about it, maybe she really was a member of the Li family..."

"But Qing Shen Mountain has no grudge against the Li family. Why would they harm my child for no reason?"

Yu Huaizhen's face showed both doubt and anger.

There must be a reason for everything.

Chen Yang said, "Senior Yu, you said before that before Senior Feng Lingzi passed away, he transferred all his cultivation to Daoist Jingchen. If Daoist Jingchen could absorb and integrate all of his cultivation, I wonder what realm he could reach?"

Yu Huaizhen said, "Before my master passed away, he was already in the middle stage of the Dao Zhen Realm. If my son can fully integrate the power left by my master, he will definitely be able to break through to the early stage of the Dao Zhen Realm, if not the middle stage."

"That's right."

Chen Yang nodded slightly. "I don't know if you have given Daoist Jingchen a thorough examination. He no longer has any so-called empowerment cultivation in his body. In other words, he has completely absorbed the cultivation left by Senior Feng Lingzi, and he is now at the mid-stage of the Creation Realm, which is his limit."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Huaizhen frowned and stepped forward to grab Jingchen's arm.

He had tried to examine her, but Jingchen's Sanjiao Gate was closed. Without her cooperation, he couldn't force his way in. Moreover, Jingchen's illness could easily escalate into a frenzy if he wasn't careful, and he was afraid of hurting her. So how could he get close enough to examine her?
Even if they did examine him, they wouldn't have had a chance to check his Sanjiao Xuanguan (a point on the body's energy channels). They consulted so many famous doctors and physicians, and they all said it was the same problem. Naturally, he assumed that Jingchen was lovesick and had gone mad from lovesickness.

Now that Chen Yang has pointed it out, he deliberately probed, but since his spiritual power couldn't detect it, he directly used his primordial spirit to probe.

A moment later, Yu Huaizhen's expression changed. Indeed, as Chen Yang had said, the cultivation that Feng Lingzi had sealed within Jing Chen's body could no longer be found.

empty?

How can it be?

A whole jar of rice, enough to last a year, was empty after only one month?
There's only one reason: the rice was stolen.

Yu Huaizhen thought of what Chen Yang had just said: Jingchen wouldn't have been ambushed for no reason; there must have been a reason.

The other party's goal was to obtain the cultivation level of Feng Lingzi, which was sealed within Jing Chen's body.

Now, without Chen Yang needing to continue, Yu Huaizhen understood everything.

His fist clenched tightly, and his aura suddenly burst forth.

You could tell he was furious.

But he was good at controlling his emotions, and his fierce aura quickly subsided.

“Young friend, since you know the crux of the problem, do you know if there is any way to treat Sheng’er’s current condition?” Yu Huaizhen asked hurriedly.

At this moment, Yu Huaizhen, who had initially doubted Chen Yang's medical skills because he was too young, now took him seriously, her eyes filled with hope.

"Disaster."

Chen Yang sighed, "His injury is to his spiritual platform. The Qi Ling San (a traditional Chinese medicine) has caused great damage to his spiritual platform and the nerves in his head. Over the years, it has become a chronic injury. As you can see, the walls of his spiritual platform have hardened and lost their resilience. The gate to his spiritual platform can no longer be sealed tightly, and it can no longer retain spiritual energy. He has already missed the best time for recuperation..."

Yu Huaizhen said, "When Doctor Xue came back then, he said that he was too heartbroken, and the walls of his spiritual platform had hardened, affecting the opening and closing of the spiritual platform's gate. If too much spiritual energy was stored, it could easily cause the spiritual platform to collapse, which could be fatal. So, he used the Yin-Yang Acupuncture Technique to open a small hole in the gate of his spiritual platform, allowing the spiritual energy in the spiritual platform to overflow when it was full..."

The spiritual platform wall is resilient and active; as cultivation level increases, it can expand repeatedly, essentially without limit.

Jingchen's spiritual altar wall has lost much of its resilience and has limited pressure resistance. If the pressure exceeds the limit, cracking is inevitable.

His spiritual gate has also visibly shrunk, and it would probably have difficulty opening on its own. If we don't give him such an opening, it might have exploded long ago. If the spiritual gate explodes, a person will either become an idiot or die.

Chen Yang nodded, not denying Xue Chonghua's approach. "This does prevent his spiritual platform from being overwhelmed by spiritual energy. However, this spiritual energy overflows automatically and is beyond his control. Instead, it stimulates his nerves, leading to emotional madness. If I'm not mistaken, after Doctor Xue gave him acupuncture, the frequency of his madness has been increasing, hasn't it?"

Yu Huaizhen thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case, so he nodded to Chen Yang.

Chen Yang said, "Dr. Xue did the right thing. In that situation, saving lives was the priority. If I were in that situation, I would have suggested the same thing."

What is going mad compared to losing your life?
Yu Huaizhen asked, "Young friend, is there still any way to remedy this?"

"His spiritual platform is now basically necrotic. I really can't think of any elixir that can repair the necrotic spiritual platform walls..."

Chen Yang was telling the truth. There are ways to enhance spiritual energy and many ways to expand the spiritual platform, but he really didn't know how to restore the spiritual platform wall that had solidified, died, and lost its resilience and activity.
