CHAPTER 297: CHAPTER 159: BESTOWING A TECHNIQUE

Long before Sheng’er perfected the Holy-grade Elixir for himself, Yun Canglang had already begun to secretly worry that the Medicine Emperor Pavilion would not tolerate Yun Sheng.

Due to Yun Canghai, Yun Canglang had always felt indebted to Yun Sheng, who in his eyes, despite her extraordinary talent, was ultimately still just a child.

The origins of the Medicine Emperor Pavilion, while not well-known to others, Yun Canglang as the Great Zhou General, had some awareness of the Pavilion’s methods.

Regrettably, being completely ignorant in the field of medical skills, he could only rely on his own abilities to protect his niece.

Yun Canglang had no daughters, and he now treated Yun Sheng as his own beloved daughter.

"Uncle, it’s not a problem, we’ve decided to lay low for a while and start selling Magic Potions instead," Yun Sheng didn’t wish to worry her uncle.

"Sheng’er, now that Uncle is back, no one will be able to hurt you!" Yun Canglang patted Yun Sheng’s head.

Yun Sheng found her uncle’s protective behavior amusing, but she also felt sweet inside, the feeling of having family was indeed not bad.

"Ahem, there’s another matter, Sheng’er, I heard from Uncle Yun..." Yun Canglang’s expression was a bit strange.

Although he had resigned from the General Mansion out of indignation over matters concerning the Yun Family Army, he still paid close attention to the affairs of the Yun Residence.

Upon his return, he immediately heard from Uncle Yun that the young miss had diagnosed their father Yun Bahe with a hidden ailment.

Yun Sheng’s medical skills were something Yun Canghai had witnessed, and he too was taken aback by the news, fearing that something might indeed be wrong with Yun Bahe’s health and thus urgently inquired Yun Sheng about it.

"There is a small issue, but it’s not severe, General Yun is still very robust. However..." Yun Sheng furrowed her brows and pondered for a moment, ultimately deciding to share her discovery from that day with Yun Canglang.

Seeing that Yun Sheng persistently refused to address Yun Bahe as Grandfather, Yun Canglang felt somewhat helpless.

However, he understood that the misunderstandings between Yun Sheng and her grandfather Yun Bahe might not be resolved anytime soon and could only hope that time would dilute those resentments and grudges.

"If I am not mistaken, the old general’s cultivation has begun to decline," Yun Sheng cautiously ensured no one was around before revealing this startling discovery to Yun Canglang.

Upon hearing this, Yun Canglang’s face dramatically changed.

His father’s cultivation has begun to decline?

Old age is a natural law, occurring naturally to everyone, and is commonly accepted.

However, this matter, occurring in Great Zhou Martial Saint Yun Bahe, was indeed extraordinary.

Because the safety of Great Zhou, or rather, the prosperity of the Yun Residence, has been desperately maintained by the name of Martial Saint Yun Bahe.

Throughout these years, while the martial arts halls around Great Zhou still prospered and talents still arose from Wuji Pavilion.

Yet, the pinnacle for a martial artist, the Martial Saint, has had no successors.

In Great Zhou, since twenty years ago, when Yun Bahe broke through to the Martial Saint Realm, only two others have achieved this realm; one died in a skirmish attacked by several masters, and the other, belonging to the Hunter Soldier Alliance, would not sell his life for Great Zhou.

So now, Great Zhou is only supported by Yun Bahe alone.

These years, Great Zhou remains among the Five Great Countries despite its gradually weakening state, mainly because of the presence of the Martial Saint, Yun Bahe.

But Yun Sheng has now abruptly determined that Yun Bahe’s cultivation is declining, a message that undoubtedly caused Yun Canglang to reel in shock.

"Why is this happening? My father, he..." Yun Canglang said with a broken voice, his face betraying his agony.

When human efforts reach their limits, Yun Sheng did not convey this news to the Old General. With his pride, if he knew the truth, he would surely be in immense pain.

"Last time I checked his pulse, I could see that years ago, he had suffered a severe injury. Sadly, if it weren’t for that injury, the Old General’s fighting spirit should have been sufficient to break through to the realm of Martial God," Yun Sheng also found it strange that with Yun Bahe’s strength and experience, why he would miss that precious opportunity to break through.

Martial Artists and Mages are different; they rely on their physical bodies to break through, and the higher the realm, the more difficult it is to break through.

Normally, Martial Artists can reach the peak of their fighting spirit accumulation by the age of fifty.

From the pulse of Yun Bahe, Yun Sheng inferred that he must have had an excellent fighting spirit breakthrough process a few years ago.

"Can you deduce approximately how many years ago that breakthrough happened?" Yun Canglang asked nervously while staring at Yun Sheng.

"About eight or nine years ago, counting from then..." Yun Sheng’s words abruptly stopped.

Eight or nine years ago, wasn’t that when Yun Canglang had an incident, and Yun Bahe went to the Southern Border of Great Zhou to rescue Yun Canglang, and then encountered the Post Qin Martial Saint, Tian Quezi?

"It really was because of me," Yun Canglang somberly closed his eyes.

He remembered that on the eve of leading his troops into battle, his father, Yun Bahe, had already begun to seclude himself.

If you count the days, had it not been for more than half a year later, the event where Yun Canglang was ambushed occurred, Yun Bahe would not have been forced to leave his seclusion.

"Uncle, this matter is not your fault. If we must blame someone, it should be the people of Dihong City, especially that despicable Xuan Wuji and also the Post Qin Martial Saint Tian Quezi. I suspect they had colluded long before," Yun Sheng also understood that Yun Bahe must have been injured while contesting with Tian Quezi.

Even though at the time, he did not reveal it to the public and tried his best to heal afterward, the severe injury still affected his later Martial Realm breakthrough, preventing Yun Bahe from advancing to the next realm of Martial Arts.

Tian Quezi became famous later than Yun Bahe; under normal circumstances, he clearly was not a match for Yun Bahe.

After a fierce fight with the people from Dihong City, where his fighting spirit was mostly depleted, Tian Quezi then stepped forward and severely injured Yun Bahe.

By such calculation, the two groups must have premeditated the plan.

"I think, the Old General himself must have also realized this," Yun Sheng did not believe that Yun Bahe would be completely unaware of his own body condition.

She remembered that Yun Bahe had not fought with others at the same Martial Realm for many years.

"Yun Sheng, you don’t know that the Yun Residence is also in decline now. Since your father left and I departed from Yun Residence, now everything depends solely on him," Yun Canglang felt increasingly guilty.

"Uncle, you don’t have to worry. You are already a Martial Arts Sect leader, just one more breakthrough and you will be a Martial Saint," Yun Sheng comforted Yun Canglang.

Yun Canglang bitterly smiled: "Sheng’er, do you really think becoming a Martial Saint is that easy? Besides, I’ve wasted so many years."

Yun Bahe broke through to Martial Saint at the prime age of thirty-five.

If Yun Canglang had not had his fighting spirit sealed and had devotedly cultivated over the past eight years, with his talent and heritage, breaking through Martial Saint before the age of thirty-five was not impossible.

But he had an eight-year gap, which was wasted.

It was as if he had lost the best years of his life.

"Not necessarily, Uncle, your right arm was reconstructed using the Spiritual Energy of Nine-leaf Purple Ginseng. Purple Ginseng underwent Heavenly Tribulation, making it a Divine-level Medicinal Herb. Its effects are not so simple to absorb overnight. Here, I have a Cultivation Technique; try practicing it, it might help," Yun Sheng straightforwardly transcribed the mental method of the Marrow Jade Technique for Yun Canglang to cultivate.

Thank you "Momo, Yuluo, Ying Huafei, Liangcheng Kongxiang, Meng for the rewards"
