Chapter 855: Chapter 855

Lin Chen's words took everyone by surprise. One must know that Yu Nv Peak is among the top sects in Huaxia, and even the Sect Leader and elders here were helpless with regards to the illness. Yet this young fellow actually claimed he could cure it—how could that be possible?

Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, Fairy Mu Yun's gaze slightly sharpened as she stared at Lin Chen: "Young man, being poisoned by such a drug is different from ordinary illnesses. Are you sure you can treat it?"

Lin Chen replied with a faint smile: "I have learned some medical skills, and although they are not profound, I am confident that such little ailments pose no issue."

Hearing what Lin Chen said, the corners of everyone's mouths couldn't help but twitch: "A little ailment? The illness that has the entire Yu Nv Peak astounded, and you call it a little ailment?"

Under the doubtful gazes of everyone, Lin Chen approached the young man: "Give me your hand."

The young man looked distrustful but still handed over his hand to Lin Chen.

Seeing Lin Chen treating the young man, many people scoffed.

"This kid must be grandstanding. Even Fairy Mu Yun couldn't treat it, so how could he possibly cure it?"

"I've heard that this kind of backlash condition is incurable. Just watch, this kid will soon make a fool of himself."

Almost no one believed Lin Chen could cure the young man's condition, and most were watching him with mirth, waiting to see him embarrass himself.

However, at that moment, a look of shock suddenly appeared on the young man's face.

He felt a warm current flowing into his body from Lin Chen's palm.

The sensation was incredibly comfortable. The Spiritual Energy that had been blocked suddenly began flowing again.

The people around also sensed a change in the young man's body, and what was even more astonishing was that the young man's aura was gradually increasing.

With a thunderous roar, the young man actually advanced in cultivation.

"What the heck, for real?"

An advancement in strength could only mean one thing: Lin Chen had cured the young man's backlash condition.

Fairy Mu Yun was looking at Lin Chen with a face full of shock, her eyes filled with amazement.

Since Lin Chen had concealed his cultivation base, the strength he showed was merely at the early stage of the Dan Yuan realm, this young fellow indeed had some skills.

Another ten minutes passed, and Lin Chen released the young man's hand: "There you go, I have reversed your meridians for you. Now try channeling your energy."

The young man nodded, and threw a punch.

An explosive sound filled the air, and the young man's face was overtaken by a look of wild joy.

It turned out that the young man's cultivation was at the early stage of the Dan Yuan realm, and after Lin Chen's treatment not only had his cultivation been restored, but he had also advanced fortuitously to the middle stage of the Dan Yuan realm.

The young man cupped his fists earnestly towards Lin Chen: "Disciple Liu Ming will remember Brother Lin's kindness. If there is anything you need in the future, just say the word, and I shall go through fire and water without any hesitation."

Lin Chen replied with a faint smile: "Brother Liu, you are being too polite. What I did was merely a trivial gesture."

Liu Ming shook his head: "Brother Lin, martial arts is my life. If I can't cultivate, it would be no different from being killed."

After treating the young man, Lin Chen returned to his meditation cushion, and Wang Zixuan quietly gave Lin Chen a thumbs-up.

Lin Chen smiled faintly and transmitted his voice: "Wife, I'm pretty awesome, right?"

Wang Zixuan's expression changed as she heard Lin Chen's telepathic message and shook her head at him.

Lin Chen looked towards Fairy Mu Yun and saw that the enchantingly beautiful woman was staring at him with a glint of anger in her eyes.

It seemed that Fairy Mu Yun had overheard the message he sent to Wang Zixuan.

Although Wang Zixuan was very nervous, Lin Chen was unconcerned.

Fairy Mu Yun might be a high-level cultivator of the Sea of Clouds stage, but Lin Chen, even as an early-stage cultivator of the Sea of Clouds stage and just a step away from the middle stage, possessed a popular system that gave him the strength to fight against a high-level Sea of Clouds stage powerhouse.

After Fairy Mu Yun answered several disciples' questions, the lecture finally ended.

As the disciples dispersed and Lin Chen was about to leave, he was stopped by Fairy Mu Yun.

"Lin Chen, come with me," Fairy Mu Yun said coldly.

Wang Zixuan's face immediately turned sour when she saw Fairy Mu Yun stopping Lin Chen.

Lin Chen gave her a reassuring gesture and followed Fairy Mu Yun with a beaming smile towards the back mountain.

They reached a room where Fairy Mu Yun stopped and fixed her piercing gaze on Lin Chen.

Although Fairy Mu Yun was over sixty years old, she appeared to be in her twenties and was incredibly beautiful, almost as if she had stepped out of a painting, which made Lin Chen somewhat uneasy.

"Fairy, do you need something from me?" Lin Chen asked while he looked at Mu Yun.

"Lin Chen, I heard that you saved Zixuan several times in the Central Sea. As her master, I would like to thank you," Fairy Mu Yun said indifferently.

"Zixuan and I are friends; it's what I should do," Lin Chen replied lightly.

Fairy Mu Yun nodded slightly then suddenly her face took on a serious expression: "I know Zixuan has some feelings for you, but I hope you can keep your distance. She is the Saintess of Jade Maiden Peak and according to the rules, she cannot get close to men."

Lin Chen frowned, "Fairy, I'm afraid it is difficult for Lin Chen to comply with this rule. It must have been set by our ancestors and should be at least a hundred years old. Don't you think it's a bit outdated to bind modern people with rules from a hundred years ago?"

"What did you say?" Lin Chen's words caused Fairy Mu Yun's face to change abruptly, her eyes flickering with anger as a cold aura emanated from her and settled on Lin Chen.

Fairy Mu Yun had thought that her aura would cause Lin Chen to tremble in fear, but unexpectedly, in front of her imposing aura, Lin Chen remained unaffected.

Lin Chen smiled faintly, "Fairy, you are a woman as well and must also have emotions and desires. If Zixuan does not like me and has no feelings for me, I will definitely not disturb her. However, if she is interested in me, no one can tear us apart."

Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, Fairy Mu Yun's gaze intensified slightly, "Rules are rules; they cannot be broken by anyone. I will be watching you closely, and if you do anything excessive to Zixuan, I will not be lenient."

Knowing that Mu Yun was after all Zixuan's master and not wanting to create too much tension, Lin Chen then said, "Fairy, rest assured, I will give you face on Jade Maiden Peak and not act recklessly."

At that moment, there was a knock on the door from outside the room, followed by Sister Ru Hua's voice, "Master, disciples from Kunlun, Wudang, and several major families have arrived."

After casting a glance at Lin Chen, Fairy Mu Yun indifferently said, "I hope you will behave yourself."

After Fairy Mu Yun left the room, a firm resolve flickered in Lin Chen's eyes.

It seems that Lin Chen must redouble his efforts in cultivation; in this world, possessing strength is an unchanging law.

This is a world where the strong are revered, and only by becoming stronger can one travel freely and unopposed under the heavens.

Walking along the mountain path, a powerful momentum suddenly burst forth from Lin Chen's body.

The emergence of this momentum unexpectedly stirred the entirety of Jade Maiden Peak.
