Pride of the Sword Ascending to the Clouds

Chapter 63 Calculations

"Kid Ling Zhan, meet Grand Marshal Qiu!" Ling Zhan's complexion was whole, he saluted at the old man, the little bit of unhappiness just now had long disappeared without a trace, in the face of this old man who had once made countless contributions to the empire, maintaining due respect was simply something that was too much to be desired, "My father, Ling Tianxiao, often mentions the Grand Marshal in front of my kid Ling Zhan did not really say much, he believed that the old man would definitely be able to understand what he was trying to do.

"Ling Tian Xiao? Oh, that little guy, nowadays, is not also a general?" The old man's eyes revealed some reminiscence, then he smiled, "Yutong, this student of yours is very good! Surprisingly, he was able to resist three points of my pressure with the qualifications of a Heavenly Pulse Person, there is no second one in the entire Imperial Academy, is there?"

Shangguan Yutong nodded and looked at Ling Zhan with some relief, no matter what, if someone knew that Ling Zhan had received such high praise from an old man who was secluded in the Imperial Academy, I'm afraid that he would die of jealousy.

If Ling Zhan wanted to join the army, just by virtue of Marshal Qiu's words, it would definitely allow him to struggle for ten years less! Even His Majesty, the current King, would have to give the Marshal three times the face, not to mention the fact that the Marshal's son, Qiu Jianhua, is now the Director of the Imperial Academy, known as the cradle of imperial talent!

"Alright, people are old and always like to talk nonsense." Old man Qiu Chen nodded his head at Ling Zhan, "Yutong said that you know medical skills, so let's show my old man?"

Ling Zhan walked forward and was not polite, saying to the old man, "Can the Marshal extend his wrist?"

"If you don't mind, just call me Grandpa Chen just like girl Yutong, don't call me Marshal, I wasn't even that long ago!" Qiu Chen said without thinking, seeming to be completely indifferent to the three words of the title of Grand Marshal.

Ling Zhan nodded, then stretched out three fingers on the old man's pulse, in fact just now Ling Zhan could roughly see that the old man's legs should have gotten some kind of strange disease, first it was muscle atrophy, and now it has extended to the meridians, when the meridians also completely atrophied, then even if he doesn't die, he will surely be an invalid!

Regardless of how high one's cultivation was, once the meridians were not smooth, it would greatly limit one's ability, just like Wang Chao's mere clogging of one of his arms had greatly reduced his strength, not to mention that the meridians of Qiu Chen's entire two legs had atrophied, and he was still able to maintain his current strength, which could be said to have been a miracle.

Moreover, a disease like the one that Qiu Chen had, once it struck, it was extremely painful, and would make one think that life was worse than death!

This was also one of the reasons why Ling Zhan was in awe of this old man, many times, death, was not such a hard thing to do, instead, enduring great pain like this to live, was what required strong perseverance.

"Grandpa Chen, this disease, should be many years old, right?" Ling Zhan asked softly while feeling something inside the old man's body.

Qiu Chen sighed, a complex and hard to understand look came over his aged face and said, "Yes, it should be almost ten years!" Shangguan Yutong suddenly looked like she was avoiding suspicion at this time, and laughed softly, "Grandpa Chen, I'll go and make some of your favorite snacks, so you guys take your time to chat." Saying that, he turned around and retreated out, and soon the sound of Shangguan Yutong talking to Uncle Fu came from downstairs.

Autumn Chen said at this time, "In fact, this disease of mine, I have looked for quite a few famous physicians to look at it, but they could not see a reason, there is a palace imperial physician, who is a fifth grade apothecary, only he said that this is a manifestation of poisoning in me, but there is no way to find out what kind of poison it is, all those other doctors, they all said that the old man this is caused by improper cultivation." Qiu Chen said, cursed, "Those quacks, the old man's family sword technique has been passed down for hundreds of years, and has never had a problem, the old man's son and grandson are also practicing, and all of them are fine, they don't know how to talk nonsense, and there are also people who say that I'm killing and maiming too many people to get what's coming to me, really he ****."

"Uh ......" Ling Zhan lifted his head, stunned, looking at the expressionless old man, still so aristocratic, if not just heard clearly, Ling Zhan really doubt that his ears are not a problem, this is the real aristocrat ah! Ling Zhan gave a playful sigh of admiration in his heart: even cursing is so personalized!

Qiu Chen's condition did not spread out, in fact, it was only after he left his post as the Imperial Marshal that he became ill.

Speaking of some incredible, a powerful magical sword master, live a hundred years old is a normal thing, sick will call people feel incredible, how will somehow contracted this disease, no wonder some people wildly speculate.

Ling Zun stood up at this time, then said, "Although it's a bit late, but it's not without a way of relief."

"Hmm?" Qiu Chen froze, the old man originally did not have any hope for this little doll, not to say that he looked down on Ling Zhan, it is really his age, 14 or 15 years old teenager, even if he began to learn medicine in his mother's womb, but only 14 or 15 years old, those old pharmacists with white hair and long beards were all clueless, so how could he possibly be cured?

Besides, this Ling Zhan is still the son of Ling Tian Xiao's family, a noble family's son, actually able to resist his own so powerful pressure, already very surprising to him, now actually said that he can cure him, Qiu Chen shook his head and lost his smile.

"What, you don't believe it?" Ling Yi said with a smile, and then briefly described the symptoms of Qiu Chen's illness.

The old man's unperturbed face finally showed a shocked look, but nodded his head repeatedly because, what this little doll said ...... was simply too right!

At this time outside suddenly came a low voice: "Kid, if you can cure my father's disease, everything in this Imperial Academy, I can follow you!" Along with the voice, from the outside walked in a middle-aged man in his forties, with a robust figure, calm demeanor, a face filled with majesty, and at this moment there was even a strong excitement in his eyes.

Behind him was also followed by Shangguan Yutong who had heard the news, Shangguan Yutong respectfully greeted, "Dean ......"

"Tong girl, this is home, just call me Uncle Qiu!" The middle-aged man smiled gently at Shangguan Yutong, then looked at Ling Zun with a burning gaze, "Do you really have a way to cure my father?"

For this legendary dean of the Imperial Academy, Ling Zhan had long known, not only known, but also said to be quite familiar, because Dean Qiu Jianhua still had a good relationship with his own father, Ling Tianxiao, and at the time when Ling Zhan, a Heavenly Vein Man, was able to enter the Imperial Academy for his studies, it was still thanks to the help of Dean Qiu Jianhua, or else the Imperial Academy would be unlikely to take him in, even if he was a son of a general's family, which he could not do.

"Dean, there is a way." Ling Zun had a frank face, "It's just that the herbs needed are very special ......"
