Chapter 1199: Chapter 510: The Mysterious Silver-Faced Man [8000-Word Mega Chapter – Please Subscribe]_5

The power of this Divine Skill is usually far greater than that of a skill relying on a single attribute.

Moreover, whether it’s the metal attribute or the fire attribute, both excel in offensive capabilities. A Divine Skill that combines the two forces is truly terrifying to imagine!

No wonder someone with a Golden Core Middle Phase cultivation level has been unable to heal this injury for over a decade.

Zhou Chun had reason to suspect that this person had already sought advice from Nascent Soul Stage cultivators. Either the Nascent Soul Stage cultivators weren’t confident in curing him, or the cost required was something he couldn’t bear!

After inspecting the masked man’s inner injuries, Zhou Chun withdrew his Divine Sense and lowered his head in contemplation.

When some time had passed and Zhou Chun remained silent, the masked man couldn’t help but take the initiative to ask, “How is it? Taoist Friend Zhang, do you have a way to help Taoist Friend Zeng remove this chronic ailment?”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun immediately shook his head and replied, “If you’re asking me to completely remove the chronic ailment from Taoist Friend Zeng’s body, I must admit that Zhang Mou is powerless!”

Just as the masked man’s expression visibly dimmed, Zhou Chun spoke again and said, “However, regarding the metal attribute force in the liver meridian of Taoist Friend Zeng, if Zhang Mou were to refine a Lifebound Dharma Treasure, I would have significant confidence in using its profound capabilities to neutralize it!”

“What? Taoist Friend Zhang, are your words true?”

The masked man’s eyes lit up with joy, and he glanced at Zhou Chun with elation.

Truth be told, if a Golden Elixir Early Phase cultivator like Zhou Chun claimed to have a way to completely cure his chronic ailment, he wouldn’t trust it.

After all, over the years, he had sought assistance from many Golden Core Late Phase cultivators, and even from Nascent Soul Stage cultivators.

But now that Zhou Chun claimed he could neutralize the metal attribute force in his liver meridian, he began to believe it.

However, perhaps it was the repeated failures from before that made him quickly tense up again. He anxiously looked at Zhou Chun and said, “Taoist Friend Zhang, you may not know, but the metal attribute force in Zeng Mou’s liver meridian isn’t energy without a source. It originated from Zeng Mou’s failed cultivation of a Divine Skill and has already intertwined itself deeply with Zeng Mou’s mana. Even if you temporarily dissolve the force, if the root cause isn’t addressed, it will reappear in the future!”

It was precisely because of this complicated situation that he had never been able to cure this chronic ailment.

Otherwise, he would have already invited Nascent Soul Stage cultivators to help neutralize the forces in his lung and liver meridians!

Hearing this, Zhou Chun furrowed his brows.

From the masked man’s words, it was clear that, despite his severe injuries, he was unwilling to abandon cultivating this Divine Skill.

Otherwise, if he were to choose to give up and discard his previous cultivation progress, this issue would hardly reoccur.

After furrowing his brows and pondering for a while, Zhou Chun then said, “If Zhang Mou could ensure that the metal attribute force in Taoist Friend Zeng’s liver meridian wouldn’t resurface for an entire month, would Taoist Friend Zeng be able to remove this chronic ailment on your own?”

“This… perhaps it’s worth a try!”

After thinking for a moment, the masked man nodded somewhat uncertainly.

But for Zhou Chun, as long as he expressed interest, that was enough.

Immediately, Zhou Chun looked at him and said, “If you are willing to try, Taoist Friend Zeng must first transfer the Taiyi Profound Gold Qi to Zhou Mou. Only then can Zhou Mou refine the Lifebound Dharma Treasure to assist Taoist Friend Zeng in this endeavor!”

Upon hearing these words, the masked man’s eyes narrowed sharply. He then looked at Zhou Chun with a piercing gaze and said, “Taoist Friend Zhang, are you certain that once your Lifebound Dharma Treasure is refined, it will be able to neutralize the metal attribute force in Zeng Mou’s liver meridian?”

“I wouldn’t dare claim a ten-out-of-ten certainty, but I am seventy to eighty percent confident.”

Zhou Chun responded calmly and solemnly, unfazed by the masked man’s sudden shift in demeanor.

The masked man thought deeply for a moment and then nodded heavily toward Zhou Chun, saying, “Very well, then Zeng Mou will transfer the Taiyi Profound Gold Qi in his possession to you, but you must also first provide something of equivalent value as collateral to Zeng Mou!”

“No problem!”

Zhou Chun agreed immediately without hesitation.

With the deal settled, the two then invited Sun Yuanjing to act as a witness and formally began the exchange.

The Taiyi Profound Gold Qi held by the masked man was indeed abundant, almost equal to the amount Zhou Chun already possessed.

With this transfer, Zhou Chun’s pre-ordered share from Sun Yuanjing reached eighty percent, which was already sufficient for him to attempt the Reforging of the Shattered Cauldron!

Still, to be safe, Zhou Chun decided to wait a few more years until Sun Yuanjing could help gather additional Taiyi Profound Gold Qi before attempting the Reforging of the Shattered Cauldron.

As collateral, Zhou Chun handed over a rare thousand-year Treasure Medicine known as the Phoenix Blood Creeper to the masked man.

If Zhou Chun failed to fulfill his promise to help the masked man cure his ailment within ten years, the thousand-year-old Treasure Medicine would belong to the other party!

After serving as a witness for the two, Sun Yuanjing suddenly laughed and said, “Hahaha, it is great to see the two Taoist friends able to accomplish mutual needs and strike a deal. It seems Sun Mou’s efforts were not in vain.”

Hearing his words, the two immediately understood his implication. They both expressed their gratitude to him, acknowledging the favor he had done them.
