Chapter 139: Can Cure

"In front of me, you want to touch my wife? And you want me to hold her for you?""Even if you are a master teacher, you cannot humiliate me like this!"Ling Tianyu clenched his fists, his teeth grinding audibly; he was almost mad with rage. Sun Qiang, standing nearby, almost fainted as well."As expected of the master, truly overbearing! Making a husband hold his wife so you can… A dignified master teacher could find any woman he desired, yet he has this particular inclination. It seems I'll have to hide my wife in the future... Of course, that's assuming I have a wife..."

"Forget it, given her condition, it's better not to have her held. I'll go myself!"Without noticing their expressions, Zhang Xuan kept his gaze fixed on the palace-dressed woman on the ground. He spoke, and seeing no one moved, he waved his hand. Given the woman's condition, it was indeed better not to have her held. If she were to die while being held, it would truly be counterproductive.

"You're going to go yourself... to touch her?"Ling Tianyu felt as if the other party was ruthlessly trampling on his dignity. If he wouldn't help, would the man do it himself? To not even spare a patient in a coma, and he was a master teacher? He was simply... a beast!Just as he was about to lose control and explode, he saw the man had already approached Yu Rou and extended a finger towards her wrist.

"Huh?"He was just about to make his move, willing to fight to the death rather than endure such humiliation, but then he saw this scene. Ling Tianyu froze, dumbfounded."What was going on? Didn't you say 'touch'? Did your 'touch' mean taking her pulse? Any doctor would take a pulse; that's not problematic at all. But 'touching' is different... Must you be so deceptive? Brother, let me tell you, if you weren't a master teacher, speaking like that outside would get you beaten to death!"Sun Qiang's mouth twitched at the side. "The master's way with words... it's just too much! He explicitly said 'touch' someone's wife, making me also think he had ill intentions. But in the end... it was just taking a pulse. Why make something perfectly respectable sound so lewd? He even made me misunderstand..."

Zhang Xuan was unaware that the two men's emotions were like a rollercoaster, fluctuating wildly. His use of "touch" was neither lewd nor a sign of poor communication; it had simply slipped out without any thought.Because... when he had been at a loss for what to do moments before, he had remembered another ability of the Library of Heaven's Path: appraisal of treasures!He had used this ability before when competing with Master Mo Yang: whenever he touched a treasure, a book would automatically form, recording its flaws. Now, this woman was in a deep coma, no different from being dead, making it impossible to perform the punching technique. He wondered if touching her would also cause a book to appear automatically.With this thought, he had directly asked to "touch" her. Of course, in his mind, he was treating the woman as an object. If Ling Tianyu knew his true thoughts, he would surely cough up more blood. Not even dead yet... and already treated as an object.

"As expected!"The moment his finger touched her wrist, the Library of Heaven's Path, which had been silent, trembled slightly, and a book appeared before his eyes. Zhang Xuan was so excited he almost jumped. It had only been a guess, but to his surprise, it truly worked.He hurriedly looked at the book, and sure enough, the characters "Yu Rou" were written on it. He opened the pages, which contained a detailed record of her life and flaws.

"Yu Rou, forty-three years old, from Tianxuan Royal City, wife of Ling Tianyu of Tianyu Merchant Guild, early stage Martial Artist 2-dan...""Flaws: First, her internal meridians are weak, making it impossible to cultivate advanced techniques and true qi! Second, her innate talent is too poor, and her comprehension of aura is too low... Eighth, she has been corroded by the aura of the Tinam Blood Jade, blocking her Eight Extraordinary Meridians. The specific locations of the blockages are..."The book elaborated over several pages, recording all of Yu Rou's flaws.

"So it's just meridian blockages; that makes it easy..."After finishing the book, Zhang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. He had originally thought that if it was too difficult to treat and he couldn't find a good solution, he would just explain the problem and send Ling Tianyu away, considering it an explanation. But since it was only meridian blockages, it was simple. He had helped Liu Yang, Wang Ying, and Zhao Yanfeng solve similar problems before, so it wasn't complicated for him.

Of course, this was easy for him. For others, even a Martial Artist 8-dan Grandmaster, such problems would cause splitting headaches. Human meridians are inherently fragile, and once blocked, there's almost no way to clear them except through prolonged, persistent effort. Zhang Xuan was different. Cultivating the Heaven's Path Divine Art, his true qi was so pure it had no impurities. As long as he infused this true qi into the body, any blockage, even in the most delicate meridians, could be instantly cleared without any problem. This was also why he could help Zhao Yanfeng and Sun Qiang achieve rapid breakthroughs and easily resolve Wang Ying's leg injury.

"Master Yang, how is she?"Seeing him finish taking the pulse, Ling Tianyu anxiously looked over again."Your wife's condition, if you want to resolve it, is not difficult!" Zhang Xuan returned to his seat, waving his hand grandly, exuding an imposing aura.

"Not difficult?"Ling Tianyu's pupils contracted. His tightly clenched fists involuntarily relaxed, and in his excitement, he immediately knelt down: "Master Yang, please, I beg you to save her!" To save Yu Rou, he had tried every possible method. Even Master Yu Yu, the foremost physician in Tianxuan Kingdom, had been powerless. He had thought there was no hope, but unexpectedly, there was a way out—this Master Yang could treat her! His excitement was naturally immense.

"Heaven has a benevolent nature. If I weren't willing to act, I wouldn't have bothered with this matter at the Tianyu Merchant Guild!" Zhang Xuan waved his hand, signaling him to rise, then frowned: "However..."Although the treatment wasn't difficult for him, if he simply acted now, wouldn't all his previous efforts to put on a show be for nothing?

"Whatever is needed, Master Yang, just say the word. I won't hesitate, even if it means losing everything!" Ling Tianyu said hastily.Seeing him fall for it so readily, Zhang Xuan nodded in satisfaction. "Look at him; a merchant's awareness is truly different. Just one word from him, and the other party knew exactly what was implied!"

"Your wife has been corroded by that aura for a long time. It's unlikely to be cured quickly. It will probably take ten days... no, nine days, and every day will require significant expenses to purchase valuable medicinal ingredients!" Zhang Xuan had originally intended to say ten days, but realizing a day had already passed and only nine remained, he immediately corrected himself. In truth, with his pure true qi, he could have cured her in just a moment if he truly wanted to. Why take nine days? Of course, it was to acquire more wealth. There was nothing for it; poverty stifled ambition. Although it would take some time, he could still cure her, which was much better than just watching her die, right?

"What medicinal ingredients do you need, Master Yang? I'll go buy them right away!"Being able to cure Yu Rou, Ling Tianyu already regarded Master Yang as an immortal. How could he quibble over a few days or the cost of the ingredients? He quickly said this.However, no sooner had he spoken than he saw the usually composed Master Yang look at him with sharp eyes, his expression rather displeased.
