The tall old man was utterly shocked, completely unable to figure out where the young man had come from.

Chen Wang smiled and said, "I have some knowledge of medicine. Your illness is not particularly difficult to treat, nor is it a stubborn disease. I have my own way of treating it."

The tall, elderly man said in a deep voice, "Just who are you?"

Chen Wang asked, "Senior, should we treat him or not?"

Many thoughts raced through the tall old man's mind. This was because he had been corrupted by demons during his previous battles, and only his immense strength, having reached the level of a Martial Saint, allowed him to barely suppress it.

But he also knew that beneath his powerful physique, he was already exhausted and on his last legs.

He might not care much about other things, but if he falls, the Wu Family will face a crisis of succession. The Wu Family without a Martial Saint is not the same as the Wu Family with a Martial Saint.

At this moment, he slowly said, "Okay!"

Chen Wang said, "Senior, may I take your pulse?"

Upon hearing this, the tall old man slowly extended his hand.

Ming He's eyes widened, her Autumn Water eyes filled with surprise.

Chen Wang can also cure diseases?

Chen Wang took the tall old man's pulse and channeled a stream of True Qi into it.

This True Qi was extremely weak. The tall old man raised his eyebrows, then calmed down.

With his strength, let alone such a small amount of True Qi, even if Chen Wang's True Qi were to surge forth, he would still have the power to suppress it.

Chen Wang's wisp of True Qi was mainly used for probing. After circulating it slightly within the tall old man's body, he already knew the specific symptoms of his illness. In fact, he could have known the problem with just a glance using his Divine Sense or Spirit Eye.

However, there's still a procedure to go through.

Chen Wang then wrote a prescription and sent someone to get the medicine.

The tall, elderly man had some knowledge of medicine. Looking at the prescription, he muttered to himself, "This prescription can cure my illness?"

Chen Wang said, "Minor illnesses don't need treatment, and major illnesses are incurable."

"But if it's a disease caused by demons, I do know a little about it."

The tall, elderly man smiled slightly.

The young man in blue was ordered to bring back the medicine to brew. After it was almost ready, Chen Wang went to the medicine room alone and said, "I have one more secret ingredient to add. Don't let anyone else see it."

The group immediately withdrew.

Chen Wang took out a pill and put it in. This pill was the Evil-Repelling Pill, which could suppress the power of Demonic Entity.

He put the pill in; since this martial saint's illness required a larger dose, and his condition was much more serious than that of Ning Huaian, the old boxing master from Quyang City.

However, Chen Wang still only used half the prescribed amount of medicine.

The tall old man took the medicine and drank it all in one gulp without the slightest hesitation.

Chen Wang smiled and said, "Senior, aren't you afraid it's poison?"

The tall old man said, "Even poison is nothing compared to my True Qi."

A moment later, a look of wild joy appeared in the tall old man's eyes. The stubborn ailment that had been troubling him, the place contaminated by the demon, was now being eradicated. The medicine was extremely potent, and he couldn't help but exhale.

Previously, the demonic corruption had been suppressed within his heart meridian, becoming like a leech to him. However, as the medicinal power entered his body, it seemed to be pulling it out, and some of the cold, yin energy was being expelled.

The old man's complexion visibly became rosy.

He couldn't help but feel excited. After the effects of the medicine subsided, he tightly grasped Chen Wang's hand, the veins on his old hands bulging.

He had already prepared for his death, which meant suppressing his emotions for several years before committing suicide. Otherwise, if he were corrupted by this demon and became a new demon, the entire Wu Family would not be able to bear the consequences, and it would be a scourge to humanity.

The effects of the medicine were still circulating in the old man's body, and his breathing became much more stable.

Chen Wang said, "Suppressing it with True Qi will only make things worse and more complicated. After taking this medicine for a few more days, the patient will recover on their own."

The old man took a deep breath.

"Someone, arrange for Young Master Chen to stay!"

Ming He and Chen Wang settled down in the Wu Family Sword Tomb.

As the saying goes, everyone has their own area of expertise. Martial artists don't know much about healing or exorcising demonic attacks.

The Pill Sect's expertise was a perfect match, but the problem that the old sect leader of the Pill Sect had spent more than ten years trying to solve was just a trivial matter in Chen Wang's hands.

This is due to the different systems in different worlds, and also because the cultivation world is more powerful in this regard.

In the old man's eyes, Chen Wang had become an unparalleled divine doctor, and several days later, his illness was completely cured.

He handed a booklet to Chen Wang, on which were written four characters: Dragon Snake Mysterious Skill.

The old man said, "After mastering the Dragon Snake Mysterious Skill, one can open up all the meridians in the human body. I practiced it for three years and reached the level that the ancestors of the Wu Family had not achieved even after decades of hard work, breaking through to the Martial Saint realm in one fell swoop."

"Not only that, but to truly reach the level of Martial Saint, one must also pass another test."

Chen Wang asked, "What pass?"

"Mental barrier".

The old man said.

"Mental barrier?" Chen Wang was a little curious. Aren't martial artists supposed to cultivate True Qi? Why is it related to the mind?

The tall old man said, "Martial artists train their bodies, and their spirits will gradually become stronger. To break through to the Martial Saint realm, one must transform True Qi into form, and an important step in this True Qi is having a strong enough spirit, which is what we call the soul."

After he finished speaking, he noticed the young man looking at him with a strange expression.

The tall, elderly man pondered for a moment and said, "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

Chen Wang shook his head.

"There's nothing wrong with what you said, but how long did you train back then?"

This tall old man was the Martial Saint of the Wu Family, whose strength was unfathomable and could rival thousands of armored soldiers.

At this moment, the old man calmly said, "Three years."

If others knew that he had mastered the Dragon Snake Mysterious Skill in just three years, they would be utterly astonished.

The Dragon Snake Mysterious Skill is an extremely profound Cultivation Method. Its True Qi can take form, making it extraordinary. Mastering it in three years is already astonishing.

Chen Wang nodded.

He read the entire booklet.

The old man said from the side, "Divine Doctor, although you saved my life, this booklet must never be circulated, not even to close relatives."

Chen Wang nodded. "Okay."

This naturally refers to Ming He, Ming He also quite perceptive and planned to withdraw.

The tall old man said, "No need, and no need to swear an oath. I trust Young Master Chen's character."

Chen Wang thought to himself, "I'm afraid this old man had no other choice."

Chen Wang then read the booklet through, and after just one reading, he had already memorized it.

He already possessed a photographic memory from the very beginning of his cultivation journey.

This booklet discusses breaking through the two mysterious barriers of the physical body and spirit, and then transforming True Qi into physical form.

Once the True Qi takes form and is applied to the body, its power is boundless.

In other words, the old man's Sword Qi energy was powerful before, but that was not his true strength. That was just his family's Cultivation Method. The Dragon Snake Mysterious Skill is what truly amazes people when practiced.

The old man said, "I hope you practice diligently, young friend. This Dragon Snake Mysterious Skill cannot be mastered without ten years of hard work. However, with your aptitude, I can't say for sure."

Chen Wang asked, "Is this what it looks like when True Qi qi takes form?"

With a thought, his true True Qi surged forth.

His meridians and acupoints had already been fully opened, so there was no need for him to break through the barriers again and experience this dangerous moment. Moreover, his spiritual worldview had already been broken through and was even quite rich, but his physical worldview was still somewhat lacking.

In his judgment, Innate Martial Warrior was already equivalent to a body cultivator with Foundation Establishment artifact.

However, in terms of combat power, Innate Martial Warrior may be stronger, since body cultivators do not have the ability to transform True Qi into form.

It wasn't that Chen Wang's talent was exceptionally brilliant, but rather that he had accumulated a great deal of power within his body, preparing for his breakthrough long ago; now he had simply broken through a thin layer of paper.

With a thought, a large white python appeared behind him, standing upright and reaching a height of ten feet, instantly filling the entire room with immense power.

The tall old man's expression changed instantly, Ming He, standing to the side, immediately felt breathless, startled by the terrifying aura of the white python.

The tall old man was shocked and said in disbelief, "How is this possible? How is this possible? How can someone master this Dragon Snake Mysterious Skill after just one look? I mastered it in three years, which is already the second fastest in the history of the Wu Family!"

The first one is the Grandmaster of the Wu Family.

At this moment, Chen Wang had already mastered the transformation of the python's True Qi, which amazed him greatly.

Chen Wang closed his eyes and sighed inwardly, "So it was just one step away."

He was only missing a guiding method; his strength had already accumulated to a very high level, like a huge pool that was already full of water. Now he was just guiding it according to the prescribed method.

His True Qi continued to rise, becoming extremely powerful.

The giant white python roared incessantly, and the entire Wu Family felt its terrifying aura.

The old man on the Lake Heart Island, whose breathing was deep and drawn out, suddenly raised his head. Sensing this aura, his expression changed drastically.

"Dragon Snake Mysterious Skill!"

He disappeared from the house in a flash and arrived outside where Chen Wang was.

He said in a deep voice, "What happened?"

This old man is the son of the tall old man. However, the two look to be about the same age, and one might mistake them for brothers.

The tall, elderly man inside the house said, "It's alright. Go outside and tell everyone not to make a fuss."

The old man quickly retreated, and on his way out, he encountered the young man in blue.

The young man in blue asked, "What's wrong, Grandpa?"

The elderly man serving tea, his breath deep and drawn out, shook his head.

"It's nothing serious. Just warn everyone not to act rashly."

This aura spread out, and many of the Wu Family's Innate Expert felt its terrifying power.

Inside the house, Chen Wang had finally overcome this hurdle, and his combat strength was comparable to that of the Foundation Establishment Realm body cultivator.

With a thought, Chen Wang had already mastered the Cultivation Method of the Dragon Snake Mysterious Skill Art.

The white python disappeared, but Chen Wang's figure remained as solid as a mountain, and his True Qi surged even more.

"So this is what it looks like when True Qi qi takes form."

Chen Wang was filled with emotion.

This will increase the power of your punches and kicks.

The tall old man sighed, "It took me three whole years to take this step back then, but you only read it once."

He was completely stunned and didn't know how to react.

Even a master who had roamed the martial arts world for over two hundred years and lived a long life couldn't help but sigh at this moment.

But what happened next shocked him even more! A Dragon's Roar's roar rang out, and a small golden dragon emerged from Chen Wang Chen Wang's True Qi, circling around him.

A large white python and a small golden dragon.

"This is the highest level of the Dragon Snake Mysterious Skill Art!" the old man exclaimed in shock.

Although Chen Wang had not yet mastered the extraordinary phenomenon of dragons and snakes intertwining, Chen Wang was already at the highest level.

Reaching this level is already extraordinary.

Now that he has mastered the transformation of the golden dragon, he is even more powerful.

Even this tall old man couldn't help but take a step back.

With a crack, the floor broke, and cold sweat appeared on his forehead, as if he had seen a ghost.

Ming He was completely dumbfounded.

Although she didn't know the specific cultivation method of the Dragon Snake Mysterious Skill, seeing the old man's terrified expression as if he had seen a ghost, she knew that this handsome young man's talent and cultivation were probably terrifyingly high.

"A talent that would amaze even a martial saint!" Ming He murmured to himself.

Chen Wang then put away the dragon and snake phenomenon, sensed it for a moment, and cupped his hands, saying, "Thank you for passing on the martial arts secrets, senior."

The tall, elderly man was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses.

"I'm afraid I can't accept the title of 'senior' from you!"

Then, he threw a punch at Chen Wang's head, the force of which was extremely fierce and terrifying.

This unexpected turn of events took Ming He by surprise. The punch came like a violent storm, as if a mountain had struck.

Chen Wang moved swiftly and leaped away.

With a bang, the air shattered!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Several violent explosions rang out in succession. Chen Wang's figure flashed, and a large hole had been punched through the wooden house behind him.

With a deafening roar, a burst of fist energy exploded outwards.

This shocked the entire Wu Family. The old man who hadn't gone far immediately widened his eyes. He hesitated for a moment, thinking, "Could it be that someone is attacking Father?"

He was somewhat surprised. Only the two juniors, a man and a woman, had gone in. Who else could they be?

The tall, elderly man shouted in a deep voice, "Who exactly are you? Which old friend of yours used this disguise to infiltrate my Wu Family and steal the Dragon Snake Mysterious Skill?"

While he was speaking, he had already unleashed several punches in succession, each punch possessing the power to destroy everything in its path and split mountains and rocks.

But Chen Wang only threw one punch, and that punch forced the old man back half a step.

A strange light flashed in the tall old man's eyes, and he became even more certain of his judgment. How could there be such a young man with terrifying talent in the martial arts world? This person must be an old friend of mine who had disguised himself and infiltrated the Wu Family!

A large white python soared into the sky behind him, as did Chen Wang.

At this moment, the two giant pythons complemented each other. Upon closer inspection, Chen Wang's python had an otherworldly quality, but the old man's python was extremely ferocious, with bloodshot eyes and fluctuating breath.

Two snakes fighting!

Chen Wang smiled faintly and said, "Senior, you've misunderstood. I'm not some old friend of yours."

The tall old man said in a deep voice, "You can fool others, but you can't fool me!"

He threw out both fists at once, and the white python roared as it charged towards Chen Wang! To cultivate True Qi qi into form to this level was truly astonishing, reaching the level of immortals and fantasy.

The thought crossed Chen Wang's mind, and then he unleashed a palm strike.

The two palms collided with a loud bang! The tall old man staggered back four or five steps, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

He is indeed a Martial Saint, but he had previously consumed a lot of his True Qi to suppress the pollution of the demons within his body. He had just recovered and was no match for Chen Wang.

However, during their brief exchange, it was already clear that Chen Wang did not possess any unusual True Qi; he was merely cultivating the Great Sun True Qi.

Moreover, he was very familiar with his old friends.

He was taken aback and withdrew his Divine Ability.

Chen Wang smiled faintly, "How about it?"

The tall old man exclaimed in astonishment, "You really learned it after just one look? And you've reached this level of mastery?"

They'd rather believe Chen Wang was an old acquaintance who had disguised himself and infiltrated this place than believe that Chen Wang possessed extraordinary talent.

This shows just how extraordinary Chen Wang's talent was.

At this moment, experts from the Wu Family rushed over.

The two snakes were locked in combat, and the violent aura emanating from them had already shaken them greatly.

Chen Wang scanned the area with his Divine Sense and sensed many Innate Martial Warrior, their figures breaking through the air as they approached.

The towering martial saint roared in a deep voice, "Get out of here, all of you!"

The figures stopped, looked at each other, and then remained where they were, hesitating for a moment before retreating.

The tall old man said, "I was rash before. Young friend, your talent is extraordinary and astonishing. You will surely dominate this era!"
