Library of Heaven’s Path

Chapter 188: The Eccentric Method to Treat Shen Zhui (1)

Translator: StarveCleric Editor: GaiaNove

It was no wonder that Zhang Xuan became angry. Given the very limited period of an incense’s time the Ten Venom Medicinal Solution granted him, that fellow refused to execute a battle technique and chose to ramble on about his comprehension of life instead.

Comprehend your head!

If you don’t allow me to trace the root of your problem using the Library of Heaven’s Path, you might be released after an incense’s time, but I will be forced to guard the kingdom for you!

Besides, my reputation would be ruined!

If my reputation were to be ruined by you, how can I make money in the future?

Thus, upon seeing the other party refusing to execute a battle technique, Zhang Xuan could no longer restrain himself and slapped the other party unconscious.

In any case, he had already consumed the medicine, so he wouldn’t die even if he were to go unconscious.

And to Zhang Xuan, slapping him unconscious and having him execute a battle technique meant the same thing.

While Zhang Xuan had slapped him merrily, Shen Zhui and the other three master teachers went into a frenzy.

Didn’t you just help him regain consciousness?

Why did you slap him unconscious all of the sudden?

Is there really a method of diagnosing that requires one to be unconscious?

”Yang shi...”

Just as Emperor Shen Zhui was about to question his action, Yang shi swung his arms and said, ”Alright, we don’t have much time. Let’s get down to business!”

Ignoring their shocked faces, he squatted down to feel Shen Hong’s pulse.

Weng!

His mind jolted and a book finally appeared in the library. On the cover were the words ’Shen Hong’.

He flipped it open gently.

”Shen Hong, the grandfather of Tianxuan Kingdom’s emperor, Shen Zhui, a Half-Zongshi expert...”

Shen Hong’s life and his bodily flaws were written on it.

”Yang shi, is there hope for the Royal Elder?”

As he had heard from Ling Tianyu about Yang shi’s method to diagnose one’s condition by feeling his pulse, he wasn’t too surprised by the action. But upon seeing Yang shi frown, Emperor Shen Zhui couldn’t help but walk over.

Even Liu Ling, Zhuang Xian, and the others were filled with anxiety.

This Shen Hong had reached the limit of his lifespan. They were unable to come up with any treatment, and even less so, induce a breakthrough in him. Thus, they were interested in listening to Yang shi’s opinion.

”Wake him up first!” Zhang Xuan gestured grandly. After having felt the other party’s pulse, he was no longer as anxious and uptight as before.

”Yes!”

Emperor Shen Zhui placed his finger on the Royal Elder’s philtrum and infused zhenqi into his body. Slowly, Shen Hong regained his consciousness.

(TL: Philtrum -> Area above the lips, below the nose)

”Yang shi...”

Upon awakening from his sleep, Shen Hong stared at Zhang Xuan. Just as he was about to ask the latter why he had knocked him unconscious, the other party’s voice resounded.

”Shen Hong, I’ll give you two choices. You can achieve a breakthrough to the Zongshi realm and continue living. Otherwise, just as you said, if you don’t mind dying, I can’t be bothered to save you as well.”

He had to first ascertain the other party’s will to live. If he wasn’t willing, no matter how incredible Zhang Xuan could be, he would be unable to save him.

”I... can live on? Reach Zongshi realm?”

Initially, he was displeased with Zhang Xuan’s action of knocking him unconscious. However, upon hearing his words, Shen Hong’s body trembled in agitation.

He knows how difficult it is for one to reach Zongshi realm. He had tried his entire life, only to fail time and time again. Now, at the verge of death, and with no more latent potential within him that can be dredged up... can he really reach Zongshi realm?

”If you wish to achieve a breakthrough, you can definitely do it. But if you don’t want to, let’s just forget it. I don’t want to waste my effort.” Zhang Xuan said calmly.

”Of course I do... I beg of Yang shi offer me your guidance so that I can achieve a breakthrough...”

Not even hesitating in the least, Shen Hong immediately knelt to the floor. All signs of discontentment from before had vanished without a trace.

That ’epiphany’ from before was just self-consolation for his plight.

For a chance to achieve a breakthrough and live longer, only a fool would reject it.

”It isn’t difficult for you to live on. However...”
