In the room, Wu Chen was meditating and breathing. In order to treat Yu Wushuang today, he had consumed a lot of his energy and needed to recuperate well before he could make up for it.
Boom!
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"who?"
"Wu Chen, it's me." The voice belonged to Yu Jiaorong.
Wu Chen slowly opened his eyes, got off the bed, walked to the door and opened it.
"Saint, it's so late, why are you here to see me? What's the matter?"
Yu Jiaorong said: "Nothing, I just wanted to come and see how your vitality has recovered."
Wu Chen said: "I have almost recovered, Saint Lady, don't worry."
"That's good."
Yu Jiaorong felt relieved because she knew that Wu Chen himself was injured and had not recovered yet. He was also worried about her mother's affairs. If she caused further harm to his body, she would feel guilty.
"Um, can I come in?"
"please."
Yu Jiaorong walked in slowly.
"Saint, if you have anything to say, just tell me. If I can do it, I will do my best."
Wu Chen closed the door. Based on his understanding of Yu Jiaorong, she was not the kind of person who would casually enter a man's room. Once she came in, it must be because of something.
Yu Jiaorong looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and said, "In that case, let me tell you, Wu Chen, are you sure you can cure my mother's illness this time?"
"I knew you came here for this matter." Wu Chen said with a smile.
Yu Jiaorong didn't say much, but just looked at Wu Chen, expecting him to give her an answer that would put her at ease.
"I have seen the patriarch's illness. Although it is a little difficult, it is not impossible to cure it."
"Are you telling the truth?" Yu Jiaorong asked in surprise.
Wu Chen asked: "Why, you don't have confidence in me?"
"No, I'm just so happy."
Yu Jiaorong's biggest wish is to cure her mother's illness. As long as her mother's illness can be cured, she is willing to pay any price.
Immediately, she thought of something else and asked, "Can I restore my mother's cultivation to her peak state?"
"What do you mean by peak moment?"
Yu Jiaorong said: "What I mean is to restore mother's strength to the level when she came out of retreat today, the cultivation level of the legendary realm."
Wu Chen's face darkened and his brows furrowed. This was a bit difficult to deal with.
"What's wrong, can't I?"
Wu Chen thought for a moment and said, "Saint, to be honest, the best way to treat your mother's illness is to use a drainage strategy. This is the best treatment method."
"What is drainage?" Yu Jiaorong asked. She knew nothing about medical skills.
Wu Chen said: "For example, when it rains heavily and continuously, the water in the fields rises and exceeds the range that the fields can carry. At this time, the method we usually use is to open a gap and drain the excess water to avoid causing greater damage. This is what is usually called drainage. Do you understand what I mean?"
"clear."
Yu Jiaorong is also a smart person. She understood immediately after Wu Chen mentioned it.
Seeing that Yu Jiaorong understood, Wu Chen nodded and changed the subject: "The same goes for the clan leader. The situation in her body is similar to this. The energy in her body is chaotic and violent, pressing on her meridians and preventing it from being expelled. At this time, if the excess chaotic energy and power in her body can be expelled, then she will be able to recover."
Yu Jiaorong thought about it carefully and it seemed to be true. People who are possessed by evil spirits always have chaotic energy in their bodies, which cannot be consistent and coordinated. This is very similar to her mother's illness.
"If I follow your method of treatment, what will happen to my mother after she recovers?"
"What else can I do if I'm cured? I'm back to normal. Why are you asking me such a simple question?"
Yu Jiaorong blinked, perhaps Wu Chen didn't understand what she meant.
"Wu Chen, what I mean is, what will happen to my mother's cultivation?"
"Oh, that's what you're asking."
Wu Chen thought for a moment and said, "It can probably be at most the level she had before she used the secret technique."
It was even worse than that, because the aura on her body was too chaotic. In order to treat her, a lot of aura had to be drained out. Sometimes, even some of the aura she obtained from her own practice would be drained out.
"You mean, my mother can only recover to the Dragon Transformation Stage at best?"
Yu Jiaorong was shocked. Her mother had reached the Dragon Transformation Realm ten years ago before she used the secret technique. According to what Wu Chen said, she could only recover to this level.
Wu Chen nodded: "That's right."
Although he needs to channel out some aura, given his level, he is still confident that his cultivation and strength will not decline.
"No, no, how can this be possible?" Yu Jiaorong shook her head repeatedly, saying no.
Wu Chen was also confused. What on earth was this woman thinking about? He couldn't understand anything she said.
After a while, Yu Jiaorong seemed to calm down and said, "Wu Chen, I believe you have also seen it today. Our mermaid tribe is now facing great danger. Outside, there are mermen who have been eyeing us covetously. Their strength is far greater than ours. We are no match for them at all."
Wu Chen was stunned. It was indeed so. He saw clearly in the battle during the day today that the strength of the mermaids was indeed much stronger than that of their merpeople. There were five top-level strongmen, such as those in the Dragon Transformation Realm, in the mermaids, while there were only three in the merpeople. They were far inferior. The reason why their merpeople defeated the mermaids today was because Yu Wushuang suddenly appeared and scared away the mermaids. Otherwise, the consequences would have been absolutely unimaginable.
Yu Jiaorong continued, “Originally, our mermaid race should have been exterminated ten years ago. However, in order to defeat the powerful enemy and allow our mermaid race to continue and avoid extinction, my mother forcibly used forbidden techniques and secret methods to gain powerful strength, which enabled her to defeat the enemy and protect our mermaid race. In the past ten years, we have never dared to make public the secret that my mother was seriously ill and her cultivation was sometimes strong and sometimes weak. This was to paralyze the enemy and make them mistakenly believe that my mother had really broken through the legendary realm. In this way, they would not dare to act rashly. Therefore, our mermaid race has been able to continue for the past ten years. If the enemy knew our true situation, our mermaid race would almost certainly be exterminated and the race would no longer continue.”
