Difficult to Treat?

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Dongfang Yueming with curiosity, wanting to know how this young man had revealed the secret in a single sentence. Among them, there were naturally some narrow-minded people who couldn't help but feel a trace of jealousy and resentment when they saw Dongfang Yueming being praised by the Grandmaster Yuye.

Grandmaster Yuye smiled slightly and continued to explain, "Just as this young friend said, the word 'matching' is of utmost importance! The inheritance of prestigious sects has often been refined over several generations, and the techniques and martial arts have long since formed a perfect fit. The flow of true qi is smooth and unobstructed, and the power of the martial arts is naturally multiplied! On the other hand, the knowledge learned by rogue cultivators is mixed and conflicting, and the flow of true qi is sluggish, so the power is naturally greatly reduced, and it may even backfire on themselves!"

Everyone listened with rapt attention, nodding in agreement, their minds suddenly enlightened, and many of their previous confusions about cultivation were now resolved.

"Then... what should we rogue cultivators do?" someone asked anxiously.

Grandmaster Yuye stroked his beard and chuckled, "The most direct method, of course, is to find a way to join a family or sect with a complete lineage."

Upon hearing this, many people showed disappointment. Joining a major family or sect—how easy was that?

"Hehe, everyone, don't be impatient." Grandmaster Yuye waved his hand and continued, "The cultivation techniques and martial arts of those sects and families weren't perfectly matched from the beginning. Many of them were gradually formed through their ancestors' continuous exploration, creation, and improvement over a long period of time. There are so many cultivation techniques and martial arts circulating in the market. Is it really impossible to find ones that can complement each other?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up!

Dongfang Yueming's heart also stirred.

Grandmaster Yuye smiled slightly at the expectant gazes of the crowd, "I am not very talented, but over the years I have collected quite a few cultivation techniques and martial arts, and have tried to combine them. In the city, I have opened a ' Yuye Secret Manual Pavilion,' which contains some carefully crafted combinations of cultivation techniques and martial arts that may be of some help to you all."

"Very good!"

"Grandmaster Yuye is truly kind-hearted!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was overjoyed!

"Hehe, what a fortunate occasion," Grandmaster Yuye spoke again, a hint of amusement in his voice, "I will now give a demonstration for everyone, and randomly select a destined person to come up on stage. I will personally diagnose them and try to match them with a suitable set of martial arts techniques. How does that sound?"

These words caused an instant uproar in the audience! Everyone was incredibly excited, eager to be chosen by this Grandmaster! This was an unprecedented opportunity!

Grandmaster Yuye's gaze slowly swept across the crowd below the stage, finally settling on Dongfang Yueming, who stood calmly in the crowd.

"Young friend, would you mind coming up on stage for a chat?"

In an instant, countless gazes were fixed on Dongfang Yueming! Envy, jealousy, resentment... all sorts of emotions intertwined! Some who had previously harbored resentment towards Dongfang Yueming were now secretly filled with hatred!

Dongfang Yueming hesitated for a moment, but considering the conflict between his current cultivation techniques and his slight curiosity about the Grandmaster Yuye's ability to combine cultivation techniques and martial arts, he finally nodded and stepped onto the high platform.

"Hehe, young friend, there's no need to be nervous," Grandmaster Yuye said kindly. "I don't need to probe your cultivation level. You just need to freely circulate your practiced techniques and martial arts a little, and I'll be able to discern the clues."

"Hiss--! As expected of Grandmaster Yuye! To be able to..." The crowd below the stage exclaimed in amazement once again!

With a confident smile, Grandmaster Yuye gestured to Dongfang Yueming that they could begin.

Dongfang Yueming nodded, and with a thought, he quietly activated the [Heaven-Overwhelming Force Condensation Method]. At the same time, a faint trace of the Heaven-Overwhelming Palm Intent and the Crimson Flame Fist Intent also flowed. However, because his [Primordial Yin-Yang Art] was too profound, it perfectly concealed most of these two completely different power fluctuations, making the aura emanating from his body appear mixed and weak, even somewhat chaotic, to outsiders.

The audience was completely bewildered, not understanding what Dongfang Yueming was up to.

However, when Grandmaster Yuye on the high platform sensed the two distinct yet conflicting Martial Dao True Intent emanating from Dongfang Yueming, the smile on his face instantly froze! In its place was unprecedented shock and horror!

The crowd below the stage was filled with curiosity upon seeing Grandmaster Yuye's sudden change in expression, wondering what had happened. Dongfang Yueming also looked at Grandmaster Yuye with some confusion.

Grandmaster Yuye took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in his heart, and looked at Dongfang Yueming, saying in a complicated tone, "Young friend... the cultivation techniques and martial arts you practice have completely opposite attributes, and the intensity of the conflict is rarely seen in my life! The fact that you have survived unscathed until now, and can still use them freely, is simply... simply a miracle!"

These words immediately caused an uproar in the audience!

Grandmaster Yuye's heart was in turmoil. "At such a young age, he has already comprehended two completely different Martial Dao True Intent! Such talent truly deserves to be called an unparalleled genius! It's a pity... what a pity! These two essences are mutually exclusive, and it seems that the Inner Force energy cultivation method he practiced has failed to reconcile this conflict! It's already a stroke of luck that he hasn't suffered any damage to his cultivation or had his meridians shattered!"

He looked at Dongfang Yueming, his eyes filled with regret, and finally sighed deeply, shaking his head. "Young friend... I'm afraid I can't help you with your condition. It's difficult to cure! Very difficult indeed!"

The moment Grandmaster Yuye uttered these words, an uproar erupted from the audience!

"What? Difficult to cure? Grandmaster Yuye is helpless?"

"I knew it! Something about this kid was off!"

"Hmph! What a waste of a spot!"

Many people gloated, especially those who had previously harbored resentment towards Dongfang Yueming, who made no attempt to hide their delight.

Grandmaster Yuye looked at Dongfang Yueming, his heart filled with regret. "What a pity! Such extraordinary talent, yet he has gone astray! If he had met a renowned master earlier, his future achievements would have been limitless!"

Wei Meng, standing in the crowd, couldn't help but show a hint of disappointment on her beautiful face upon hearing Grandmaster Yuye's diagnosis. "Could it be... that there's really no chance?" She had originally held onto a sliver of hope for Dongfang Yueming.

Dongfang Yueming felt Wei Meng's gaze and nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

Wei Meng blushed slightly and quickly lowered her head.

Hou Liang, standing nearby, let out a disdainful sneer, as if to say, "See? I knew this kid couldn't handle it!"

Just when everyone thought the matter was settled, Grandmaster Yuye suddenly changed the subject and stopped talking.

The audience was taken aback and looked at him curiously.

Grandmaster Yuye pondered for a moment before slowly saying, "However... it's not entirely incurable."

"What?! There's another way?!" Everyone's spirits immediately lifted! Even Dongfang Yueming showed a look of surprise.

Grandmaster Yuye looked at Dongfang Yueming and slowly said, "Firstly, I would cripple your current cultivation and start over with unparalleled perseverance! This would be supplemented by legendary rare treasures that can cleanse the marrow and rebuild the foundation... However, such heaven-defying artifacts have long since disappeared, and even if they were to appear, they would be beyond our reach."

Upon hearing this method, the audience looked at Dongfang Yueming with a hint of pity. To cripple one's cultivation and start over? What difference was there between that and death? Not to mention those elusive and ethereal natural treasures.

"Besides that," Grandmaster Yuye changed the subject, a strange glint in his eyes, "There's another place that might solve your problem. That is... the Martial Sect!"

"Martial Sect?!" Most of the people below the stage looked blank, clearly having never heard of this name before.
