Chapter 229: JIang Li's Right Arm Healed>

Cang Lang Martial Arts Academy.

"Have you met Master!" Jiang Ning greeted.

Wang Jin looked at Jiang Ning and immediately frowned.

"I heard that He Jinyun is dead. Do you know about it?"

"I know!" Jiang Ning nodded frankly.

Wang Jin looked at Jiang Ning and sighed deeply.

"You were too impulsive! How could you dare to touch someone with He Jinyun's status! Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?"

Jiang Ning replied, "Apart from Master and me, no one else knows about this matter."

Wang Jin shook his head. "I believe you on this point!" Then he changed his tone, "But do you think the higher-ups really need evidence for their actions?"

Then, Wang Jin stared into Jiang Ning's eyes, "I'll ask you one thing. At this point in your life, when you act, do you need evidence to kill someone?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning was momentarily stunned.

Wang Jin continued, "Evidence is not important!"

"The laws of Daxia are merely to stabilize the rule and constrain the common people, to prevent chaos among them!"

"Not to restrict the upper echelons!"

"The higher you climb, the more you will understand this bare truth, the law of the strong preying on the weak, an eternal rule!"

"The weak are born to be trampled upon!"

"If your fists are strong enough, who will ask you for evidence, who will argue with you?"

"He Jinyun's death! If Qinghe Marquis suspects you, even without evidence, it will still be a huge threat to you!"

Leaving the Canglang Martial Arts Academy.

Jiang Ning's mind became enlightened.

His previous understanding was still rooted in his past life, when he was an ordinary person.

Ordinary people need evidence and laws to protect themselves.

Just as Wang Jin had said.

Laws and rules are merely chains placed on the common people by the rulers.

With these chains, Daxia can remain harmonious and stable, avoiding unrest.

As for those in power, the rules are made by them.

The chains of rules do not bind them.

"Perhaps, the strong preying on the weak is the true essence of this world!" Jiang Ning muttered to himself, recalling what he had seen and heard in his past life.

On the way back, Jiang Ning constantly pondered.

Soon, he returned to his doorstep.

"Someone has come?" Seeing the wide-open gate, Jiang Ning's expression turned serious.

Normally, the gate of his manor would not be easily opened, especially with Xiao Dou Bao still young. If the gate was always open, it would be too dangerous, as Xiao Dou Bao might run out.

The gate being wide open now meant that someone had definitely come to visit.

At this unexpected visit, Jiang Ning's expression couldn't help but turn serious.

In the next moment.

He stepped up the stairs.

His eyes level with the gate, he immediately saw a pair of men and women standing on either side of the door.

Both had beautiful faces, were not old, and wore clothes he was very familiar with, marked with the emblem of Medicine King Valley.

Seeing Jiang Ning appear.

The two people quickly stepped forward, respectfully greeting, "We have met Commander Jiang. Our valley lord has come to visit, and has been waiting for you in the manor for quite some time!"

Valley Lord?

Hearing these words, Jiang Ning's heart turned serious.

The valley lord mentioned by these two people was undoubtedly the lord of Medicine King Valley.

In Jiang Ning's view, this person was the true great figure who could dominate Dongling Prefecture, not like him, who could only be a hero in a small county.

A prefecture was about ten times larger than a county.

In such a vast area, powerful martial artists were countless.

And Medicine King Valley, looking across the entire Dongling Prefecture, was the top force.

The status and identity of the valley lord were incomparably high.

Moreover, according to Jiang Ning's knowledge, the strength of that valley lord was that of a true peak Firth Rank Inner Fortitude Realm, with a qi that reached the intensity of being condensed like a gale.

Such a strong person, according to the records, could slay a thousand enemies with one sword.

A man who could defeat ten thousand, this was the kind of strength such a person possessed.

Recalling his previous conflicts with Medicine King Valley, thinking about how he had blocked the path of Medicine King Valley, killed Hun Jiang Long Tian for no reason, and privately consumed the two Leopard Fetus Body Tempering Pills.

Later, he also killed the elder Liu Qingsong of Medicine King Valley.

"The visitor is not here for good!" Jiang Ning's heart was extremely heavy.

But having come this far, Jiang Ning knew he couldn't retreat for now.

For such a person, a mere hundred meters was a distance that could be crossed in a single leap.

With the strength of that valley lord, if he came to the door, he would certainly have noticed.

If he wanted, he could appear beside him in an instant.

Moreover, his elder brother and sister-in-law were also at home, so he couldn't easily retreat now.

He also believed that with his current official status, even if the valley lord of Medicine King Valley had ill intentions toward him, he wouldn't dare to act in broad daylight.

In the jianghu, no one dared to openly attack Daxia officials in broad daylight.

This is a grave taboo!

The very next moment—

"You two, lead the way!" Jiang Ning calmly spoke.

"Alright!" The two immediately responded.

Then, with a gesture, he said, "Follow me, Commander Jiang!"

Crossing the threshold, the two led Jiang Ning towards the eastern courtyard.

"Commander Jiang, my Master has specifically come to pay you a visit! Since you happened to be out, and not at home, my Master is waiting for you in your eastern courtyard!"

As they walked, one of them explained to Jiang Ning.

Upon hearing these words, Jiang Ning sensed their respectful attitude and felt slightly relieved.

If they had ill intentions, they wouldn't treat him with such reverence.

A moment later—

The two led the way, and they soon arrived at the eastern courtyard.

As they approached, Jiang Ning heard Jiang Li's voice, barely audible, suppressing extreme pain.

In that instant—

Jiang Ning's eyes suddenly turned sharp.

With a swift movement, he took a quick step forward and appeared inside the eastern courtyard.

At the same time—

A refined and gentle voice also echoed within the courtyard.

"Brother Li, endure a little longer. The fact that you can feel the pain in your right arm now indicates that your sense of touch has returned!"

As Jiang Ning entered the eastern courtyard, he saw a middle-aged man in a green robe standing before Jiang Li, gently massaging his right arm.

At this moment, Jiang Li's face contorted, and large beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Is that Commander Jiang?" The middle-aged man, sensing the commotion at the entrance, greeted Jiang Ning.

"It's me, Jiang Ning!"

"So it's Valley Master Lu!" Jiang Ning replied, then fixed his gaze on Jiang Li's right arm. "Valley Master Lu, what are you trying to do?"

Valley Master Lu explained, "I believe that Brother Jiang's right arm still has a chance to be cured. I'm trying to see if it can be completely healed, restoring Brother Jiang Li's arm to its original state."

Upon hearing these words, Jiang Ning was slightly surprised.

"How does it feel, brother?" He immediately looked at Jiang Li.

"It's good!" Jiang Li grinned, revealing his teeth, as beads of sweat dripped from his forehead, causing his lips to twitch slightly.

It was evident that he was enduring immense pain.

But Jiang Ning could see a genuine smile on Jiang Li's face.

Jiang Li continued, "My right arm had lost all sensation before, but now, in front of Valley Master Lu, I can actually feel the pain."

Hearing this, Jiang Ning also felt much relieved.

Anyone familiar with paralysis knew that the fear wasn't the pain but the absence of any sensation, not knowing when one was hurt.

As long as one could feel pain, there was hope for recovery.

If even the sense of touch was lost, it meant the nerves were completely dead, making a cure nearly impossible.

At this moment—

Jiang Ning quietly approached the two, observing from the side without interrupting.

If Jiang Li's right arm could be restored, it would be a blessing.

Meanwhile—

After Valley Master Lu had kneaded every corner of Jiang Li's right arm, he looked at Jiang Li's face, drenched in sweat, but remained silent.

He nodded in approval, "What a man! Enduring all this without a sound!"

The flawless version is available at 69 Book Bar! 6=9+Book_Bar First Release.

"Is there hope for recovery?" Jiang Li's eyes filled with hope as he looked at Valley Master Lu.

A smile instantly appeared on Valley Master Lu's face, "Rest assured! With my help, even if it can't be fully restored, recovering eight or nine-tenths is no problem at all!"

After saying this, he turned to the elder Gongsun Yu beside him, "Elder Gongsun, help me support him!"

"Yes!" Elder Gongsun Yu nodded and quickly steadied Jiang Li's right arm.

Then—

Valley Master Lu took out a needle pouch from his waist, spreading it open to reveal a row of fine golden needles.

The next moment—

The golden needles pierced Jiang Li's right arm.

As the needles entered, Jiang Li grimaced, his body trembling.

"Numb, tingling, and painful, right?" Valley Master Lu glanced at Jiang Li.

Jiang Li struggled to control his expression and nodded, "It's both numb, tingling, and painful, as if millions of ants are crawling inside my arm."

As he spoke, Jiang Li's five fingers on his right hand began to tremble involuntarily.

Valley Master Lu gave Jiang Li's trembling fingers a fleeting glance and said, "This is normal! Soon, I'll infuse inner breath through these needles to aid in the recovery of your sense of touch."

Time slowly passed.

Jiang Ning stood quietly by their side.

After half an hour—

"Done!" Valley Master Lu clapped his hands and with a sweep of his hand, the needles embedded in Jiang Li's arm were collected into his palm.

Then, he took out a small white jade jar from his body.

The ointment in this jar was worth a thousand gold, and it was the key to restoring Jiang Li's paralyzed right arm.

The next moment—

Lu Qingshan opened the small vial.

"Don't move!" he cautioned.

Then, he carefully applied the medicinal ointment onto Jiang Li's paralyzed right arm, covering every inch of his skin.

Afterwards, he took out a roll of white medicinal cloth from his body and wrapped it around Jiang Li's right arm.

Seeing Lu Qingshan's familiarity with the process, it was clear that he had prepared beforehand. Jiang Ning's heart was put at ease once more.

It was evident that Lu Qingshan did not possess storage items like Jiang Ning's Infinite Ring, and these items were all carried on Lu Qingshan's person beforehand.

This also indicated that before coming to Jiang Li's residence, Lu Qingshan had already prepared to treat Jiang Li's paralyzed right arm.

After thoroughly wrapping the white medicinal cloth, Lu Qingshan once again grabbed Jiang Li's right hand and closed his eyes, stimulating his inner breath.

Witnessing this, Gongsun Yu and Jiang Ning, who were standing by, remained silent, quietly waiting for the treatment to finish.

Half an hour passed.

Lu Qingshan unwrapped the medicinal cloth, and the medicinal ointment, which had already dried into white fragments, fell off Jiang Li's arm.

"Jiang Li, give it a try!" Lu Qingshan wiped the fine sweat from his forehead and spoke to Jiang Li.

Hearing these words, Jiang Li clenched his fist, and his five fingers instantly curled into a claw-like shape.

After repeating this several times, a thick joy spread across Jiang Li's face.

The next moment, he was about to kneel on one knee.

"Hey!" Jiang Li's knee had barely bent halfway when he realized he couldn't kneel down at all.

He immediately looked up and saw a faint smile on Lu Qingshan's face.

"There's no need for such a grand gesture! I cured your arm simply out of my duty as a physician!"

"Lu Divine Physician has cured my paralyzed right arm; this favor is as heavy as a mountain." Jiang Li immediately cupped his hands in gratitude.

A faint smile appeared on Lu Qingshan's face.

Then, he took out a small crystal vial from his bosom.

"This vial contains a type of oil. Apply it to your right arm every morning and evening, and it will help restore your arm to its original state!"

Jiang Li took the vial, and with a solemn expression, he cupped his hands in a respectful bow.

"Thank you, Lu Divine Physician!"

Then, he turned to Jiang Ning, "My brother has arrived, so I'll go and prepare lunch first. You two chat for a while!"

After leaving the east courtyard, Jiang Li's heart was filled with mixed emotions.

He was well aware that today, Lu Qingshan, the Lu Divine Physician, was able to cure his right arm because of his younger brother, Jiang Ning.

If not for Jiang Ning, with his current status, how could he have possibly convinced the esteemed Valley Lord of Medicine King Valley, who was above all others, to come to his home and treat his paralyzed right arm?

After silently marveling at this, he couldn't help but smile with joy and hurried towards Liu Wanwan's location.

The good news that his paralyzed right arm could now move freely was something he wanted to share with Liu Wanwan as soon as possible.

On the other side, Jiang Ning and Lu Qingshan sat facing each other in the pavilion.

"Thank you, Lu Valley Lord!" Jiang Ning cupped his hands in gratitude.

At this moment, how could he not understand that Lu Qingshan's visit today was one of friendship, not hostility, and was filled with goodwill.

If it weren't for this goodwill, how could Lu Qingshan have treated Jiang Li's paralyzed right arm?

Moreover, the fine sweat on Lu Qingshan's forehead indicated that curing Jiang Li's paralyzed right arm in a short time was not as simple as it seemed.

The fact that it had exhausted a top-tier Sixth Rank Martial Artist, whose inner breath was like a gale, also revealed the difficulty of the task.

"It was nothing much!" Lu Qingshan smiled and waved his hand dismissively.

At this moment, Jiang Ning also took out his wine flask.

Inside the flask, the mysterious black stone had been soaking for a long time, infusing the wine with extraordinary properties.

When he drank the wine infused with the black stone, it not only increased his water proficiency experience but also enhanced his bone strength and altered his martial arts talent.

Usually, he enjoyed it by himself.

But today, since Lu Qingshan had specially cured Jiang Li's paralyzed right arm, he decided to share this fine wine.

The next moment, Jiang Ning waved his hand.

A porcelain bowl appeared in front of Lu Qingshan.

Seeing this, Lu Qingshan's eyes narrowed.

"Infinite Ring, Innately Wise One!"

"As expected of Lu Valley Lord, your knowledge is vast!" Jiang Ning thought to himself.

Lu Qingshan smiled slightly, "Being a few years older, I naturally know more than the average person."

After saying this, he looked at Jiang Ning with admiration, "No wonder Commander Jiang has achieved so much. He is indeed an Innately Wise One, a rare talent with an ancient immortal root."

"If you were born in ancient times, you might have stepped onto the immortal path and become an immortal, living a long and immortal life."

Jiang Ning shook his head, "Lu Valley Lord, you flatter me! In ancient times, those with immortal roots were numerous, and cultivators were as common as crucian carp in the river. How many of them could truly achieve the Dao and become revered immortals?"

"I am but one among the countless living beings."

As he spoke, Jiang Ning poured the wine into the bowl in front of Lu Qingshan.

As the wine poured into the bowl, countless silver spots floated in the liquid, resembling a galaxy falling into the bowl.

"This wine is extraordinary!"
