Chapter 1857: Chapter 1919: The Tumultuous Fate of Su Lio
Has it reached a point where it can’t be suppressed anymore? Li Yifei nodded lightly, pondered for a mont, and said, "If it’s with this thod, I can promise you, but if... if it requires the thod I ntioned, I might have to think about it."
Ma Han looked uncomfortable and said, "Mr. Li, I’m a blunt person, if I’ve offended you with my words, please forgive ."
"Please, go ahead." Li Yifei replied.
Ma Han said, "Actually, Ali is really good natured, but in recent years, without parental guidance, and with us spoiling her, she’s beco a bit spoiled. But I assure you, her nature is not bad at all. In our backyard, she often feeds the animals when she’s free. Even the wild beasts like to be close to her, so... don’t think of her as having a bad temper..."
Ma Han was worried that after interacting these two days, Li Yifei might find Su Lio to be a difficult person and refuse to accept this matter.
Li Yifei smiled and said, "Brother Ma, no need to explain this, I can judge people too. Besides, which pretty girl nowadays doesn’t have a bit of a temper."
"That’s good, that’s good." Ma Han nodded repeatedly, grinning broadly, and added, "So if you two really fancy each other, we absolutely won’t object. Including her father, he hopes to see Ali get married and have children, to live a normal life instead of... like now, living in constant fear that her life might end at any mont."
Li Yifei was nodding at the beginning, but was taken aback towards the end, and with a sowhat awkward smile, he said, "I understand your feelings, so I’ll take on this matter. Elder Su, I don’t make promises easily, but once I do, I’ll do my best to fulfill them. If one day you pass away, I’ll take care of Ali’s affairs, but of course, I’ll always respect her, you can rest assured on this."
"Haha, good, good." Elder Su clapped and laughed, nodding repeatedly, then said, "I’ve long known about your character, so I trust you. Not for anything else but because your military experiences alone are enough to make one believe, and in these few years, you’ve rapidly risen without doing anything to harm the country, which reassures
even more."
"There’s no need for praise. As they say, a man should know what to do and not to do, it’s just what I ought to do." Li Yifei felt a bit embarrassed from the complints, sipped his drink, and continued, "How exactly do we treat the Sky Yin Absolute Vein?"
"I only know that to completely alter Ali’s ridian issues and make her a normal person, one must reach an unspeakable realm." Elder Su replied.
Regarding that unspeakable realm, Li Yifei knew a bit—it was a mysterious and profound realm, one that no one has reached for at least a few hundred years. Coupled with the wars of the past centuries, the relevant texts have long been lost. Even the na of that realm is today unknown to cultivators. Generally speaking, that unspeakable realm is incredibly difficult to reach. Human life is too short, failing to reach it before dying, how could one ascend there.
In ancient legends, Li Yifei knew of a cultivator nad Chen Tun who reached that realm. He is the most recent great powers figure before modern tis. Chen Tun slept for a hundred years, becoming skeletal, with everyone thinking he was dead, only for him to yawn awake and soon return to flesh and blood.
Because of this, Chen Tun was also called Elder Chen Tun. Further down, Wudang’s Zhang Sanfeng Master was also one of the closest, but ultimately just a mortal, failing to reach that realm. Although there are legends that Master Sanfeng ascended in broad daylight, further research showed it was fabrication by descendants, not very credible.
Of course, these might not be true; records might be fabricated by later generations, but that realm is genuinely believed by Murong Yuanqing and others.
Yet, in the last hundred to two hundred years globally, no one is known to have reached that realm, hence calling it unspeakable—not because it can’t be said but because there’s no way to describe soone in that realm.
This treatnt thod was suggested by Elder Su, naturally after research, or he wouldn’t have ntioned it lightly. But... it’s too difficult. Li Yifei just nodded slightly, not delving further. Perhaps, a person truly at that realm would know how to change a person’s constitution, also referred to as their root bone.
This is actually Li Yifei’s target. He can, through cultivation, live long, even past one hundred fifty years, and remain very healthy. But what about the won in his family?
Even soone as naturally beautiful as Su ngxin, who looks like she’s in her twenties despite being in her thirties, frequently worries about wrinkles at the corners of her eyes or loose skin on her face. The other won, too, are concerned, except for Jiang Ningxiang and Xu Shanshan who are not so worried. Both have innate vital energy and might look the sa even at fifty or sixty.
So, there’s not much ti left for Li Yifei. He must find a way to delay the won’s aging, and the dual cultivation given by Yao Lingfu is one thod. But if the Worm isn’t removed, he can’t continue with dual cultivation, and this thod’s effects are slow. Could he really spend every day clinging to a woman’s belly?
With this realization, Li Yifei felt troubled thinking about these things.
Elder Su thought he was distressed for Su Lio and didn’t disturb him. After a while, Elder Su said, "Suppressing it once used to last a quarter, but after eighteen, it only lasts a month. In the last two years, the outbreaks have beco more frequent. Starting last month, it needs suppressing weekly or else it might..."
"Weekly now?" Li Yifei repeated. For soone like Elder Su, with his physical condition, to forcibly mobilize true qi to help his granddaughter suppress the cold yin energy, it’s really not easy, making Li Yifei admire him even more.
Although if this happened to him, he would definitely risk his life to save his woman or child.
"I’ll take on this task, but Elder Su, to be honest, after my last injury, I suffered a serious internal injury and still can’t mobilize my true qi, and I’m not sure when I’ll recover."
"You saved
before, now let
take a look at you. While I can’t cure my granddaughter, my dical skills are decent." Elder Su said, reaching out, and without hesitation, Li Yifei extended his wrist for Elder Su to examine.
Three minutes later, Elder Su let go and said, "Your condition is fine. It’s just normal true qi overdraft, exacerbated by so special external force. That energy is too overwhelming, causing serious overdraft, but I feel your body is self-repairing constantly, so the issue isn’t major." Elder Su said with a frown.
Li Yifei nodded and said, "Yes, if it weren’t for certain fortuitous encounters, I might have lost."
"So it seems, that Satan is indeed formidable." Elder Su nodded, smiled, and added, "But it’s not hard to treat; I have a dicinal herb at ho that can help. When the ti cos, co ho with , eating a few will more or less fix it."
"Alright, I’ll co for the dicine later!" Li Yifei nodded happily and said, "Thank you, Elder Su."
"You saved
once, I’ll help you once, no need to thank . Besides, Ali will rely on you from now on, the one who should thank you is !"
"Then let’s not say thanks. Though I’m young, I always keep my promises. What I agree to, I will work hard to do. Rest assured, Elder Su. Right now, the most important thing is that you take care of yourself and live longer to spend more ti with Su Lio and the family."
"I will, I’ll strive to live!" Elder Su said, taking a sip of wine, but soon coughed, and when he moved his hand away, there was a hint of red in his palm, though he quickly hid it under the table, Li Yifei saw it.
This... Li Yifei frowned slightly.
Once they finished talking, Elder Su recovered for a while and then comfortably said, "Yifei, actually there’s so connection between us!"
"Oh? I don’t quite understand. Please tell , Elder Su!"
"You have a wife nad Su ngxin, right?" Elder Su said.
Li Yifei’s eyes lit up. He straightened up and asked, "Elder Su, do you know my wife?"
"I don’t exactly know her, but her third grandfather, also known as Third Su, I do know." Elder Su said.
"How so? You aren’t brothers by any chance, are you?" Li Yifei asked in surprise.
Elder Su shook his head, "Not brothers, but if we were to connect, Third Su would have to call
Uncle."
"What?" This was far beyond Li Yifei’s expectations. Even though he faintly speculated there was a connection between Elder Su and Su ngxin’s grandfather when he first heard of Elder Su a few days ago, he never imagined Elder Su in front of him was Su ngxin’s grandfather’s eldest uncle... that seniority... "This... the generations are so wide, age fits, but... I’ve never heard grandfather ntion it."
Elder Su shook his head, saying, "ntion for what? The families haven’t been in touch since liberation, and though there was contact before then, it stopped afterwards. There hasn’t been movent these years, I’m not even sure if that kid knows about , his Uncle!"
"He should know, since you’re the north of the Southeast Northwest Center, Elder Su... I’m sure ngxin’s grandfather would know, you might’ve even t!"
"Actually, no. Unlike Murong Yuanqing and the others, I’m not often in the public eye. After the nation was founded, I secluded myself in Changbai Mountain, rarely erging. This ti I ca out... because I heard soone had a dicinal herb effective for Ali’s illness, so I ca seeking it. Then this happened, almost costing
my life. If I died, Ali wouldn’t last long either!" Elder Su said with a heavy heart, "Co to think of it, I must thank you. If you hadn’t intervened then, neither of us would have survived."
"It was just fate, I was invited to a al that day and happened to co across it, otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to help even if I wanted to."
