The body of a Martial Artist primarily relies on the circulation of fighting spirit. The restraint on Yun Canglang’s left arm is very similar to the Magic Lock that sealed Yun Sheng’s Magic Power at Wuxuan Wuji Hall. However, the technique used on Yun Canglang was far more formidable than the common Magic Lock. Up till now, only Yun Sheng, with the Yan Family’s Inherited Medical Soul Divine Needle combined with the Marrow Jade Technique, has been able to break through such restraints. "To cure Uncle Yun’s hand, we need at least the Fifth Layer of our Yan Family’s unique Inner Strength, but currently, I’ve only reached the Third Level, so I’m temporarily powerless. But if I break through to the Fifth Layer in the future, I’m confident I can cure Uncle Yun," Yun Sheng succinctly explained the treatment and her current predicament with a human anatomy chart. After hearing Yun Sheng’s words, everyone else understood the situation clearly. Yun Bahe was silent for a long while. Zhan Li had mixed feelings, whereas Yun Canglang’s expression was the calmest. "Thank you, Little Divine Doctor, for being frank with us. Actually, this hand of mine has been disabled for many years now, and it’s not urgent, you shouldn’t blame yourself. If we’re lucky, perhaps my hand could still recover," Yun Canglang kindly looked at Yun Sheng. For some reason, although it was their first meeting, Yun Canglang felt a close bond with her, a closeness that even surpassed the feelings he had towards his own nephew, Tang Yu. Perhaps sensing Yun Canglang’s friendliness, Yun Sheng thought for a moment, "I’m not powerful enough yet, but I have another method. It can’t completely restore Uncle Yun’s hand but can at least ensure that for the next few years, your hand won’t deteriorate further. It can also improve the muscle atrophy signs on your arm." The Marrow Jade Technique requires three years per level, yet over the past two years, Yun Sheng had broken through from the First to the Third Level. Although luck was a factor, it also made Yun Sheng realize that it’s much easier to practice the Marrow Jade Technique on the Wuji Continent than in modern society. The likely reason is that the Sun Essence on the Wuji Continent is much purer than in the heavily polluted modern world. The method Yun Sheng mentioned is the Blood Cloud Beast Blood that she had tested earlier. Blood Cloud Beast Blood is a potent body strengthening medicament. Coupled with Yun Sheng’s special acupuncture technique, Yun Canglang’s left hand can absorb some of the beast blood’s power, which could improve the degenerative condition of his left hand. "I will return to the Medicine Hall now to prepare the necessary beast blood and medicinal herbs. From now on, every five days, I will come to the mansion to perform acupuncture treatment for you," Yun Sheng said, ignoring the stunned Yun Bahe and left the General Mansion directly. "Hehe, the young girl has quite a temper, but her medical skills and ethics are excellent. Since she said the second brother’s hand can be treated, then it definitely can be," Zhan Li was quite emotional and his face was filled with smiles. "Disrespectful to elders, speaking so rudely in front of us, obviously not a child raised by a decent family," Yun Bahe recalled Yun Sheng’s attitude and was filled with anger. Nowadays, children are simply too unlikeable, hmph! "Dad, that child’s temper is quite similar to yours," Yun Canglang chuckled. "Nonsense, who is similar to her. Ah Zhan Li, it has been a long time since we gathered. I have stored several jars of fine wine in the cellar, help this old man fetch them," Yun Bahe tasked Zhan Li to go to the mansion’s cellar to retrieve wine. Yun Bahe has always loved drinking, happy or not, he enjoyed having a few drinks. Zhan Li, every time he comes, ends up being intoxicated by him. After Zhan Li left, Yun Bahe snorted, his words tinged with anger, "Cang Lang, until now you still refuse to tell Dad, who exactly was it that injured your hands back then?" It turns out that Yun Bahe pretending to drink was a ruse; his real intention was to call out Zhan Li. For many years, Yun Bahe had believed that Yun Canglang’s hand injury was the result of an enemy ambush and being surrounded, but just recently, that stubborn girl spoke up, making him think something was off. Right hand torn by a ferocious beast, left hand’s fighting spirit restricted by a special technique. Yun Canglang is Yun Bahe’s son, and his martial arts skills were all inherited from Yun Bahe. The Yun Family’s twin heirs include Yun Canghai, gifted in magic, and Yun Canglang, who is also talented in martial arts. Back when Yun Canglang encountered an enemy attack, he was already a Martial Arts Sect, about the same as today’s Zhan Li. If he had fought with all his might, even with an army of ten thousand, Yun Canglang could have at least escaped unscathed. However, he was defeated, not just defeated, but someone cruelly crippled his hands, leading to his current predicament. But if the opponents truly wanted to kill Yun Canglang, why would they only cripple his hands? It seems that either the opponents had a deep-seated hatred with the Yun Family, wishing to make their lives worse than death, or they had reservations and dared not truly kill Yun Canglang. The cause of this event is something that the old Martial Saint General himself cannot figure out, and Yun Canglang also refuses to speak more about it. Back and forth, the truth of the matter has not been unveiled to this day, and the pain endured by Yun Canglang has continued for so many years. "Father, there’s no need for you to ask more about the past events; it was my lack of skill that led to my injuries and lost face for the Martial Saint General Mansion," Yun Canglang said painfully, his words indicating a reluctance to bring up the old matters. "Here comes the wine. Little brother, you’ve been taking Beast Blood lately, so you can’t drink. This pot of good wine can be enjoyed by me and the old general," said a clueless Zhan Li, bringing over a jar of wine. With hope restored for Yun Canglang’s hand, Zhan Li is truly happy for him and intends to drink until he’s drunk today. "Brother Qi, there’s one more thing I’d like to ask you about. That young lady just now, what’s her name? And her medical skill is quite unique; I’ve never seen such needle techniques in Great Zhou before," Yun Canglang felt like he had seen Yun Sheng somewhere before. "Her name is Yanyun, a transfer student I brought from the Royal Magic Academy. As for her mentorship, I only heard she lives in a medical hall in the city," said Zhan Li, knowing just that much. Meanwhile, Yun Sheng had fetched the Beast Blood, and after instructing Yun Canglang’s personal attendant to take it back to the room, she started advising Yun Canglang on the precautions for using Beast Blood. After soaking his hand in Beast Blood, Yun Canglang’s skin appeared much more ruddy than usual, and Yun Sheng gave him a few more acupuncture treatments. In the courtyard, Yun Bahe and Zhan Li were drinking wine, engaging in a lively discussion about the current national situation in Great Zhou. Yun Bahe was fiery-tempered, occasionally cursing the civil servants at court, while Zhan Li had to sit beside him, smiling apologetically as he drank. Unknowingly, the sun had set. As Yun Sheng walked through the courtyard, she heard Yun Bahe muttering, "Yun Canghai, you unfilial son..." She looked back to see the old general’s large figure slumped over the stone table in the courtyard, drunk and looking especially desolate. For some reason, a feeling of sadness arose from the bottom of her heart, and her hatred for the General Mansion also grew less intense.
