Transcending the Nine Heavens

Chu Yang was taken aback in his heart.

With this old man's cultivation level, he surprisingly owns a restaurant?

“That treasured sword from that day was actually taken away by the accountant for auction, and it fetched quite a sum,” the old man said somewhat disinterestedly. “Of course, I have long since stopped valuing those... and I don’t need any heavenly level treasured sword…”

When the old man mentioned ‘heavenly level treasured sword,’ there was a hint of disdain in his tone.

Chu Yang listened quietly, his expression unchanging. He thought to himself, even heavenly level weapons aren’t worth his attention? Could this person before me truly be a legendary saint rank expert?

The old man continued, “However, when you came back to repay your debt, it piqued my interest. That’s why I had someone look into you. I intended to lend you a helping hand at some point…”

The old man smiled and asked, “Do you know why? I believe you have some doubts, right?”

Chu Yang pondered for a moment and replied, “We are strangers, and we even dined and dashed on your account. Even if I later returned the money and surprised you, it’s just a matter of settling the debts between us. Yet you, old sir, want to give me additional help… This can only mean you have your own reasons.”

“You’re afraid it’s because you think that treasured sword has put you in my debt. Although it was not intentional that day, once I returned the debt, it must have left you somewhat uncomfortable, right? Because, for a master like you, the greatest taboo is owing favors, whether intentional or unintentional, once a favor is owed, it is owed.”

Chu Yang smiled as he articulated his analysis clearly.

“Exactly!” The old man clapped his hands in delight. “I initially thought that when you faced difficulties, I could quietly lend you a hand. I believe there are few problems here that I can’t solve, and after that, we’d be even—I’d feel comfortable, while you might remain oblivious. That would be the best outcome… But now, I’ve taken the initiative to reveal myself. What do you think is the reason?!”

Chu Yang continued to smile but did not speak.

“You little rascal truly is calm, making me look at you with new admiration,” the old man praised. “You guessed correctly; I have come forward this time because I have something to ask.”

Although Chu Yang didn’t speak, the old man already knew that he was fully aware of the intention behind his visit.

Sometimes, not speaking is more effective and charismatic than saying a lot; in trendy terms, it’s just cool.

Chu Yang still smiled, maintaining his silence.

“I have been observing you for six consecutive nights, during which you have treated six patients suffering from ailments. I have quite a bit of understanding about the medical arts, or perhaps it's just that I have been ill for a long time. Each of those six people, I examined carefully, and from my perspective, they were all incurable. Yet, under your hands, they were cured as if by magic...” The old man spoke solemnly. “Such medical skill, I must admit, I have never seen in my life; it truly is remarkable.”

Finally, Chu Yang spoke, but just that one sentence nearly infuriated the old man: “Old sir, you too… have ailments? Is there some kind of unmentionable issue? Do you want to seek medical help from me?!”

“You brat!” The old man, who had been calm, suddenly became furious, his hair standing on end.

A powerful aura erupted violently.

Although Chu Yang had already anticipated it, the overwhelming aura came too fast and too fierce for him to react. His whole body leaned back, and with a loud “crack,” the chair beneath him shattered instantly.

He could actually crush a chair just by relying on his aura?!

How domineering could that be?!

One must know that this is the Nine Heavens Pavilion, where all martial artists are restricted! In such a situation, it seems even Cat Nini would absolutely be unable to achieve this with all her might!
