Chapter 1535: Broken, Then Mend It

The chieftain and his brothers exchanged bewildered glances, not understanding.

Saving someone—why would they need a washbasin?

“Third Brother, what’s this kid up to?” the chieftain asked quietly.

By now, Ye Yuan was already taking the pulse of the second chieftain.

The third chieftain looked utterly confused and said, “How would I know? If I understood, I could save Second Brother myself!”

Damn it, you’re way too irresponsible!

You’re the one who brought him here!

The chieftain’s eyes bulged as he said, “This kid seems really unreliable. What got into you, insisting on letting him try?”

The third chieftain said, “I fought him outside just now. I… ended up in a draw with him!”

The chieftain’s gaze sharpened, revealing shock.

A Return to Void initial stage cultivator, tying with Third Brother?

No wonder Third Brother said this kid was strange.

The third chieftain added, “For someone so young to have such terrifying strength, I suspect this kid’s background is no small matter. So… maybe he really does have a way?”

The chieftain’s eyes flickered as he looked at Ye Yuan, saying nothing more.

Before long, a clean washbasin was brought over.

Ye Yuan slowly stood up and walked to the basin.

He formed a hand seal, and a pile of spiritual herbs appeared in the basin.

With a tremor of his palm, the herbs were instantly shattered, each one reduced to a heap of powder.

The chieftain glanced at the second chieftain, his eyes slightly red, and asked Ye Yuan, “Um… young friend, Master Wufeng said the second chieftain’s heart meridian is severed. Can he… really be saved?”

Everyone present was a cultivator, so they naturally knew what a severed heart meridian meant.

Even for a Divine Path powerhouse, once the heart meridian was cut by the power of laws, there was no chance of survival.

Such damage was irreversible.

That was why Wufeng said there was no way.

Ye Yuan glanced at him and said calmly, “If it’s broken, then mend it.”

“Mend… mend it? A severed heart meridian… can it be mended?”

The chieftain had never heard of such a miraculous method.

As he spoke, Ye Yuan placed both hands into the basin, and the powder adhered to his palms.

Ye Yuan approached the bed and pressed his hands onto the second chieftain’s chest.

A ripple of divine energy emanated from Ye Yuan’s body.

Gradually, wisps of mist appeared at Ye Yuan’s palms.

After a short while, Ye Yuan stood up again, absorbed more powder, and repeated the process.

“What… what is he doing?”

“No idea. I’ve never seen a healing method like this. Shouldn’t he be giving Second Brother a pill?”

“This kid isn’t messing with us, is he?”

“Just steaming him with divine energy like that can save Second Brother?”

…

The brothers exchanged remarks, none of them optimistic about Ye Yuan’s approach.

They naturally couldn’t see how meticulous Ye Yuan’s work was.

Ye Yuan used his divine energy to organically fuse the medicinal herbs on his hands, then drove the medicinal power through the pores into the second chieftain’s heart meridian.

Since the second chieftain’s heart meridian was severed, even if he swallowed a pill, it couldn’t circulate through a full cycle.

But by using this method, Ye Yuan could help the second chieftain absorb the medicinal power.

Under Ye Yuan’s catalysis, this medicinal power continuously repaired the severed heart meridian.

Ye Yuan used these herbs to gradually expel the law power rampaging through the heart meridian, then repaired it.

The precision required for controlling divine energy was incredibly demanding.

Even a four-star Divine Pill Master could not achieve what Ye Yuan did.

Ye Yuan’s technique for controlling divine energy was honed through countless trials.

In Ye Yuan’s view, the path of alchemy was never just about refining pills.

Time passed minute by minute, and soon the basin of herbal powder was nearly empty.

“Cough… cough, cough, cough…”

Suddenly, a violent coughing sound came from the second chieftain’s mouth.

Seeing this, the brothers all perked up.

“He… he’s really saved? My god, this kid’s skill is even greater than Wufeng’s!” the third chieftain said, his mouth wide open, unable to close for a long time.

“Bah! Wufeng isn’t even fit to carry this kid’s shoes! That arrogant Wufeng said he’d chop off his head and kick it around. Let’s see if he really does chop it off!” said Fifth Brother Meng Huo.

“Incredible! This is the first time I’ve seen someone with a severed heart meridian brought back! This young… master is truly miraculous!” the chieftain exclaimed in awe.

Seeing the second chieftain regain consciousness, the chieftain’s guilt eased somewhat.

That arrow was too cold; if the second chieftain hadn’t blocked it for him, he himself would be lying there now.

At that moment, Ye Yuan slowly stood up, and the brothers immediately gathered around.

“Young… uh, Master, how is my second brother?” the chieftain asked nervously.

Ye Yuan said calmly, “The arrow wound is no longer a problem, and the heart meridian has been reconnected. But the poison is quite potent. Prepare a room for me; I need to refine a pill. Don’t let anyone disturb me. Also, my herbs and pills are very expensive. Hmm… since this is our first cooperation, I’ll charge you three million divine spirit stones.”

“Hiss… five million divine spirit stones? Why don’t you just rob us?” Meng Huo’s eyes bulged; he was shocked by the price.

An ordinary three-star divine pill cost between three hundred thousand and one million divine spirit stones.

Ye Yuan was asking for five to ten times that price!

The other brothers also winced, but the chieftain frowned briefly and said, “Fifth Brother, shut up! Whatever the Master asks, that’s what we pay! Five million divine spirit stones—we’ll cover it!”

Ye Yuan smiled and said, “The chieftain is truly generous. When you see the pill, you’ll know it’s worth every stone.”

After Ye Yuan left, Fifth Brother said indignantly, “Big Brother, he’s clearly price-gouging!”

Third Brother also said, “Yeah, Big Brother! We can give him five million divine spirit stones, but… we can’t change the gang’s name!”

The chieftain snorted coldly and said, “Is Second Brother’s life worth only a mere five million? Huh? Each of your lives is priceless in my eyes! What’s a mere five million?”

At that snort, everyone fell silent.

Just then, the second chieftain on the bed finally regained full consciousness.

“Second Brother, you’re awake! That’s wonderful!” the chieftain said excitedly.

The second chieftain’s eyes were somewhat dazed, and he said with effort, “I… I was hit by a Thunderbolt Arrow, and I’m still alive?”

Meng Huo laughed heartily, “Hahaha… You were as good as dead, but you ran into an awesome master who brought you back from the dead!”

A strange look flashed in the second chieftain’s eyes as he looked at the chieftain.

The chieftain nodded and smiled, “Fifth Brother is right! Second Brother, this time I owe you. If not for you, I’d probably be dead. I owe you my life!”

The second chieftain forced a smile and said, “Big Brother, between us brothers… why speak so formally?”
