He was using the?Young Girl Style?of the Tyrant Body Tempering Technique, which was a pose that could quickly restore body function. As his main meridians were broken, he was barely striking the pose with his flesh. His entire body was trembling violently and his face was ashen, but the gleam that looked like the moon and stars in his eyes remained unchanged.

His strange behavior soon caught everyone’s attention. After a moment of consternation, sighs could be heard coming through the darkness, followed by a dead silence.

Yunxiao clenched his teeth. Wisps of power flowed out of his dantian, but they did not circulate along the path where energy usually did. Instead, under the intriguing pose, they all rushed into the broken main meridians in a unique way and began to slowly repair the damage.

The Tyrant Body Tempering Technique was the best body-tempering technique in the world, and its various postures covered all the methods of cultivating the flesh. Even an individual with a broken dantian could step into the Nine Heavens realm and become a Martial Sovereign through cultivating it alone. As soon as Yunxiao started using the posture, the injuries in his body began to repair themselves rapidly, and his trembling body slowly calmed down. Gradually, a unique aura spread from him.

Just when Yunxiao was taken captive, Jia Rong had informed Zhang Qingfan and Xu Han that he knew the method of stimulating acupoints with gold needles, and he could save Princess Ruxue. Both Zhang Qingfan and Xu Han were shocked, but when they saw Jia Rong’s confident look, and considering that there was no better option right now, they decided to give it a try.

They were also deeply skeptical about the list of materials provided by Jia Rong, but he insisted that all the things must be prepared, and he did not answer any other questions. They could do nothing to him. In any case, if he could really save the princess, these materials were nothing.

Soon, all the materials were taken straight out of the state treasury and handed over to Jia Rong, but then something frightening happened—Yunxiao went missing!

“Lo-lord Luo, are you sure Li Yunxiao is really missing?” Jia Rong felt nothing but cold, and streams of sweat were trickling down his cheeks.

Yunshang said seriously, “That’s right! I’ve looked all over the campus and asked some of his close friends, but no one knows where he is. Master Jia, I think you’d better get another assistant. The Princess’s illness can’t be delayed any longer.”

Xu Han also said in a deep voice, “The effect of the medicine is weakening. The Princess is taking three times the daily dosage now, but her condition does not improve at all. If we delay further, I’m afraid the Princess will…”

“Yes, we can’t delay further!” Zhang Qingfan said. “Don’t you just need an assistant? As long as the Princess can be saved, I can be your assistant! How could a young dandy know these things? If you want to teach your disciple, you can always teach him later. We don’t have time to wait for him.”

Jia Rong collapsed to the ground. He could not believe that the chief alchemist of the imperial palace wanted to be his assistant! He felt an extreme heaviness in his chest which made him barely breathe, and he was drenched in cold sweat. Knowing that he could not drag on any longer, he told them the truth.

The room became eerily silent!

Bam!

Zhang Qingfan slapped the stone table and broke it into pieces, sending debris flying in all directions. “Jia Rong!” he roared with rage, “How dare you make fun with the Princess’s life!”

Xu Han’s face became extremely gloomy as he growled, “Jia Rong, how could you do such a foolish thing! How could you be fooled around by a famous good-for-nothing? How could you believe a dandy young master knows how to stimulate acupoints with gold needles? You… you really piss me off!”

With a livid face, Zhang Qingfan shouted, “Put Jia Rong in jail and execute him straightaway after this!”

Upon hearing that, Jia Rong’s eyes went dark and he almost fainted. Although his status was high, Zhang Qingfan was the chief alchemist of the imperial palace, who could kill him with just a single sentence!

“Master Zhang…Master Zhang, please trust Young Master Yun! He can save the Princess!” Jia Rong hugged Zhang Qingfan’s leg and cried out desperately.

“Get away from me!” Zhang Qingfan was so furious that he kicked Jia Rong in the chest and sent him flying away. “Do you have any idea what a sin you have committed? If you hadn’t told us that you knew how to stimulate acupoints with gold needles, I would have taken someone to a level-four Alchemist Association for help! Now, the medicine can no longer control the Princess’s condition, and it’s too late to get help. Don’t you think you deserve to die for your sin?”

Jia Rong fell to the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood. He tried to speak, but a few broken pieces of internal organs were stuck in his throat, leaving him unable to utter a word.

“Now, what do you want me to tell His Majesty?!”

In his great rage, Zhang Qingfan was about to leave, but Yunshang suddenly stopped him. “Master Zhang, wait a minute!”

“Anything else?” Zhang Qingfan said grumpily. “That Li Yunxiao is your student, right? You will also be held responsible when I inform His Majesty about this!”

After hearing what Jia Rong had said, apart from being extremely shocked, Yunshang had not said a word. But now, she finally spoke slowly, “It was because of Li Yunxiao’s hint, either wittingly or unwittingly, that I was able to be promoted to an alchemist this time.”

Zhang Qingfan froze for a moment, then sneered, “It’s normal for a person to get inspiration by accident. Don’t tell me you also believe that the boy knows how to stimulate acupoints with gold needles?”

Yunshang shook her head and said, “I don’t know if he knows it or not, but in a recent fight between students, he had defeated Lan Xuan, the Prime Minister’s eldest grandson, with just one move.”

“So what?” Zhang Qingfan felt that his patience was running out. If it were not for the fact that Yunshang was the commander of the State Guardians, he would have lost his temper!

“How’s that possible!” Xu Han broke in. “I thought it was said that he can’t cultivate because all his meridians are clogged! Also, I remember Lan Xuan is one of the strongest students in the academy.”

Yunshang kept a straight face and said, “Yes. Not only did he unclog all his meridians, but the martial technique he used to defeat Lan Xuan is also the Floating Life Seal!”

“Floating Life Seal!”

That was when Zhang Qingfan’s expression changed. “Floating Life Seal…Could it be…Could it be that he is Lord Yang Di’s disciple?” he said in shock.

Yunshang shook her head and said, “I don’t know. But, if he really is Lord Yang Di’s disciple, it is highly possible that he knows the method of stimulating acupoints with gold needles.”

Xu Han glanced at Jia Rong, who was sitting on the ground coughing up blood, and said in a solemn voice, “Liang Wenyu told me about this boy’s condition before. He said that many of his invisible meridians are broken and could never be reconnected. Now, not only has he defeated Lan Xuan, but he was using the Floating Life Seal. This…”

Zhang Qingfan’s face gradually calmed down. After pondering for a brief moment, his eyes gleamed brilliantly and he shouted, “Use all the power you can muster to find Li Yunxiao in the shortest possible time!”

…

In a bar near the academy, the customers were mostly students. Luo Landuo was savoring a wine called Moonlight Kiss. It was a very magical drink, because its color could reflect the mood of the drinker. It was blue when the drinker was happy, and black when the drinker was unhappy.

She found that the Moonlight Kiss in her glass was slowly turning black.

Yu Hezheng did not notice the change in her mood as he just kept talking. “Landuo, believe me, it’s true! Now, the whole campus is talking about the battle. I know you won’t believe it because you didn’t witness it yourself. I think even Bai Chengfeng is no match of him, not to mention Lin Yu!”

Clang!

A glass of pure black Moonlight Kiss was vigorously placed on the table. Landuo threw out a few silver coins and shouted, “Bill!”

“Senior Yu,” she said coldly, looking at the unpleasant tasting glass of wine on the table, “I’ve told you several times that I don’t want to hear what you’re saying. Also, don’t bother me in the future. I’m stuck in a bottleneck, and I’m going to enter a secluded cultivation for a few days. Goodbye!”

She left the bar without looking back despite Yu Hezheng’s obstruction.

“Damnit, what a poser!” Yu Hezheng gulped down the glass of liquor in his hand and then growled, “How dare a wh*re who’s been played by Lin Yu so many times pretend to be innocent in front of me! I’ve been courting her for so long, and yet she hasn’t even let me touch her! Damnit!”

“Good evening, sir! Would you like a glass of this purple Love Story?”

A melodious voice rang out. Meng Wu glanced at Yu Hezheng’s empty glass and tried to sell her drinks. “Perhaps it will suit you well.”

“Hmm?” Yu Hezheng gave Meng Wu a glance. He was stunned for a moment, then a glimmer of lust flashed in his eyes. He laughed and said, “You look familiar to me. Oh right, you’re in the junior class, right? I remember all the pretty girls in the junior class. Yes, I remember now, your name is Meng Wu!”

He was overjoyed as soon as he recalled her name. “My name is Yu Hezheng, and you can call me Senior Yu. By the way, why are you selling drinks here? Don’t you think it’s a waste for a beautiful girl like you to sell drinks here?” He stared at Meng Wu’s beautiful face and swallowed loudly.

A hint of disgust flashed through Meng Wu’s eyes. Suppressing her disgust, she said with a smile, “Senior Yu, would you like a glass of Love Story? It costs only six silver coins.”

Yu Hezheng toyed with the empty glass in his hand and laughed. “Love Story? Six silver coins a glass? Haha! To hell with the love story, it’s so damn cheap! Meng Wu, you’re so beautiful…you shouldn’t be working here. Be my girlfriend, and I’ll give you one hundred gold coins every month. What do you think?” He reached out a hand to touch Meng Wu’s face.

Pa!

In a fit of rage, Meng Wu slapped him on the arm and said in a cold voice, “Senior Yu, please respect yourself!” While fuming, she turned and was about to leave.

“You want to leave?” Yu Hezheng was already provoked by Luo Landuo, and with all the liquor he had drunk, he immediately lost his temper when even a wine salesperson dared to reject him. “Stop right there!” he bellowed. “I’m going to take you today, regardless you are willing or not!”

His voice was so loud that it immediately attracted the attention of all the people in the bar.

Meng Wu’s mind was in a daze. She could not believe there was such a shameless person in this world. Not only did he try to molest a girl in public, but he was so loud and so self-righteous! She was shaking with anger, and did not know what to say!

“Aye, let’s go in and have a few drinks. We’ve been looking for him for most of the day, but we haven’t even had any news. I wonder where Young Master Yun is hiding!”

When Han Bai and Chen Zhen walked into the bar, they were both stunned.

“What’s going on? Why so quiet? Isn’t this a bar? Are we in the wrong place?” Chen Zhen asked questioningly.
