Worthy of a Nine-Star Peak Dou Saint

Outside a cultivation chamber in Danta, Central Plains.

Lu Chuan had just finished cultivating and walked out. He stretched his limbs, ready to return to his quarters and rest, but after only a few steps, he saw Cao Ying approaching from ahead.

Cao Ying saw him as well, and her steps paused slightly. Her expression visibly became a little unnatural.

Watching Lu Chuan walk toward her, she thought of what she had seen on the Sky Screen earlier. Then she looked at the ordinary-looking man before her, and her heartbeat involuntarily quickened.

She opened her mouth, wanting to say something to him, even if it was only a greeting.

But when Lu Chuan passed by her, he merely gave her a faint glance before leaving directly, without sparing her another look.

Cao Ying stood where she was, watching his retreating back as an indescribable bitterness welled up inside her. At the wedding, she had pointed at his nose and called him selfish, accusing him of holding Dan Chen back. It was only natural that he would ignore her now.

Perhaps, in Lu Chuan's eyes, she was nothing more than a clown.

As Cao Ying thought of this, deep regret appeared on her face. She bit her lip and stood there without moving for a long time.

Lu Chuan did not take the matter to heart at all. After leaving, he headed straight toward Danta's main hall. Halfway there, a young junior sister came running toward him and hurriedly stopped when she saw him.

"Senior Brother Lu Chuan! Great, you're here! Elder Xuan Yi encountered a problem while cultivating just now. It seems she was too impatient and her Dou Qi went astray, causing her to fall unconscious!"

"Elders Tian Leizi and Xuan Kongzi are over there. They sent me to ask you to come take a look."

Lu Chuan frowned slightly upon hearing this. "Her cultivation went wrong? Is it serious?"

"It's quite serious. Elder Xuan Yi still hasn't woken up. The two elders have tried several methods, but none worked. They're frantic!"

Lu Chuan nodded. "Lead the way."

The junior sister immediately turned around and led the way, while Lu Chuan followed closely behind her toward Xuan Yi's residence.

They soon arrived outside Xuan Yi's room. After pushing open the door and entering, he saw Xuan Yi lying on the bed, her face pale and her eyes tightly shut. She indeed looked to be in serious condition.

Tian Leizi and Xuan Kongzi stood by the bed, both wearing anxious and worried expressions.

When Tian Leizi saw Lu Chuan enter, he hurriedly stepped forward. "Lu Chuan, you're here! Quickly, take a look at Xuan Yi!"

Xuan Kongzi also turned to look at him, his face carrying both anticipation and nervousness.

The two exchanged a glance and said little. They both knew perfectly well that Lu Chuan's true strength was that of a Nine-Star Peak Dou Saint. A powerhouse like him would surely have a solution, even without saying anything.

But they could not take the initiative to reveal anything about the Sky Screen to Lu Chuan, so they merely acted as though they were asking for ordinary assistance. "Lu Chuan, do you have a way?"

Lu Chuan walked to the bedside and examined Xuan Yi's condition before saying, "It's nothing serious. Her Dou Qi went astray and blocked several meridians, preventing the circulation of her blood and Qi. It will be fine once they are cleared."

After saying this, he reached out and slowly sent a strand of Dou Qi into Xuan Yi's abdomen.

Tian Leizi and Xuan Kongzi stood nearby watching this scene. Neither spoke, but both were secretly shocked.

After all, they were both Dou Zun-level powerhouses. They had tried several methods just now and still failed to clear Xuan Yi's meridians, yet Lu Chuan handled it so effortlessly the moment he acted.

He truly was worthy of being a Nine-Star Peak Dou Saint.

Tian Leizi thought this to himself, his gaze toward Lu Chuan filled with deep reverence. Xuan Kongzi was no different. As he watched Lu Chuan gently press his fingers against Xuan Yi's abdomen and slowly inject a gentle stream of Dou Qi into her body, countless thoughts stirred within him.

For a powerhouse of this level, even a casual strand of Dou Qi was probably far stronger than anything they could unleash with their full strength.

Not long after, Xuan Yi stirred slightly on the bed and slowly opened her eyes.

When she awoke, she saw Lu Chuan standing by the bed and noticed the residual fluctuations of Dou Qi in her abdomen. She instantly understood what had happened.

Xuan Yi quickly sat up and looked at Lu Chuan. "Lu Chuan, was it you who saved me?"

Lu Chuan withdrew his hand and nodded faintly. "It's fine now. The Dou Qi in your body has been straightened out. Rest for two days and you'll fully recover."

Gratitude appeared on her face upon hearing this. "Thank you. If it hadn't been for you this time, I might truly have ended up in serious trouble."

However, Lu Chuan waved his hand. "It was only a small effort. Don't take it to heart."

After saying that, he prepared to leave. Tian Leizi and Xuan Kongzi hurriedly made way for him.

"Lu Chuan, thank you so much for today. If you hadn't arrived in time, the two of us would have been completely helpless. We truly wouldn't have known what to do."

Lu Chuan turned back and glanced at them. "The three masters have always treated me well. This small matter is nothing."

After saying that, Lu Chuan turned and left the room. The moment he departed, only the Danta Three Giants remained inside.

Xuan Yi sat on the bed, looking in the direction Lu Chuan had left, and let out a long breath.

"He truly is worthy of being a Nine-Star Peak Dou Saint... Several of my meridians were blocked. I could feel it myself, but there was nothing I could do. Yet a single strand of his Dou Qi cleared them all."

Tian Leizi nodded as he heard this. "Yes. I was watching from the side when he acted. That strand of Dou Qi looked gentle, but its purity far surpassed all of ours."

"The gap between a Nine-Star Peak Dou Saint and us is simply too great."

Even Xuan Kongzi sucked in a breath of cold air and agreed, "Luckily, we were still fairly polite to Lu Chuan before and didn't offend him too badly. Otherwise, life would become difficult for us in the future."

The three exchanged glances and saw the same relief in one another's eyes.

After leaving the room, Lu Chuan headed straight toward his residence, his expression as calm as water.

Although he had no idea what the three were thinking, he only considered it a small favor.

To him, clearing a few meridians was indeed a trivial task, nothing worth mentioning.

But what he did not know was that the tiny display of skill he had shown had made the Danta Three Giants revere him even more. They were deeply shocked by him from the bottom of their hearts, and even somewhat afraid!
