Chapter 834

Whenever he was alone, he would incessantly reproach himself.

Seeing other families happy and joyful, he would feel sorrow.

"Am I not worthy of my parents' love?"

Gazing at the pill in his hand, only one thought remained in Ouyang Mingri's heart: take the pill, cure the illness, and stand up.

From an outsider's perspective, one might advise Ouyang Mingri to first choose a cultivation technique and then slowly cultivate to recover.

This would save quite a few points!

It is the most cost-effective strategy.

However, Ouyang Mingri could not wait.

He had been paralyzed for over a decade!

Those who have never been paralyzed cannot understand what it is like for a person to live in a wheelchair for over ten years.

If not for a strong mind, if not for the desire to prove to the father who abandoned him—that your son, even suffering from a terminal illness, is no weaker than others.

He would likely have gone mad long ago!

Now, there was a chance to stand up.

He did not want to wait even a minute, even a second longer.

He tilted his head back and swallowed the pill; it melted upon entering his mouth, lacking the bitterness of traditional medicine, and instead had a hint of sweetness!

The next moment, a wisp of cool energy rose within his dantian, circulating through his entire body, making him feel his flesh and blood growing stronger, and his previously immobile legs and feet were now able to exert force.

After a moment, Ouyang Mingri's expression turned to joy, and he stood up from his chair with a sudden motion.

Bang!

The next moment, he collapsed onto the ground.

"I stood up!"

Ouyang Mingri laughed loudly, his laughter hiding a few traces of sorrow; his eyes turned red, and a tear fell.

He struggled hard and stood up again.

Then he fell down once more.

This was not because the pill was ineffective, but because he had never walked before; even though Ouyang Mingri had seen others walk, he could not learn to walk all at once.

His body had recovered its health, but the skill of walking would not appear out of thin air.

Ordinary people only think walking is easy because they trained many times when they were young, fell many times, and turned the skill of walking into an instinct.

Ouyang Mingri was merely experiencing the process of learning to walk that others went through in their childhood.

Thus, Ouyang Mingri fell again and again, and stood up again and again.

After only a moment, his neatly tied hair became disheveled, and the once elegant young man turned into a madman with messy hair.

It was not just his appearance; even the look in Ouyang Mingri's eyes was crazed enough to be frightening.

After a while, Ouyang Mingri's steps became steady, and step by step, he walked outside.

Outside, the daylight was perfect, and the sunlight spilled down, warm and comforting to both body and mind.

In the forest, birds chirped softly, and a gentle breeze blew, bringing a sense of coolness.

Ouyang Mingri had never felt such a sensation, and his heart was filled with emotion.

"So, everything in the world is this beautiful!"

"The song of these birds is not tragic or noisy, but crisp and pleasant; this forest breeze is not cold, but refreshing to the mood."

With a different mood, the feeling of looking at the same thing is naturally different.

Ouyang Mingri strolled through the forest, his whole person radiating vitality.

The true qi within his body circulated, slowly entering a new realm.

However, these were all minor matters; he did not pay much attention to them, simply strolling through the forest, which to him was the most wonderful thing in the world.

Suddenly, he leaped lightly and landed on the treetop.

His footsteps were light, treading on the branches, strolling above the canopy.

"So this is light-body technique!"

With a wave of his palm, intense force flew toward the sky, emitting a whistling sound.

Wantonly displaying what he had learned, Ouyang Mingri felt that everything was as he wished.

"Mingri, are you healed?"

Just then, a surprised voice came.

"Master!"

Ouyang Mingri descended from the treetop, "Disciple is now completely healed!"

The Frontier Elder was shocked: "Completely healed? Your medical skills have improved again? Good, good, my disciple is truly clever!"

It was no wonder the Frontier Elder was so happy.

He had treated Ouyang Mingri's rickets for many years without the slightest clue.

Never did he expect that just by going out once, his disciple's illness would be cured.

The waves of the Yangtze River push the waves ahead; each new generation surpasses the old.

As a kind elder, his heart was filled with pride!

"Young Master, Young Master, where are you!"

Just then, an anxious voice came; it was the servant Yi Shan.

"Yi Shan, I am here!"

As the words fell, a figure rushed into the forest, and seeing Ouyang Mingri standing, Yi Shan was both shocked and happy.

He had only gone down the mountain to purchase some daily supplies, and never expected that upon returning, he would see the recliner lying on the ground and bloodstains all over the floor.

Just thinking about such a scene, he had imagined a drama of over a hundred thousand words.

Could it be that the Young Master had lost the will to live?

This had scared him to death.

"Young Master, your body?"

Ouyang Mingri laughed heartily: "It is already completely healed!"

"Completely healed?" Yi Shan was ecstatic, "Congratulations, Young Master. A person like a celestial being, finally no longer needing to sit in that recliner. Truly, the heavens have opened their eyes."

Having said this, he actually knelt on the ground and began kowtowing to the heavens.

"Yi Shan, get up; you have worked hard all these years."

"Young Master, what are you saying." Yi Shan stood up and smiled honestly, "Being able to serve the Young Master is my, Yi Shan's, good fortune. It's just that now that the Young Master's body is well, I fear I won't be needed in the future."

"Let's not talk about these unhappy things today." The Frontier Elder laughed, "Come, let's go back first. Mingri, you must tell me properly how you overcame the difficulty and how you..."

"... cured your own injuries."

Ouyang Mingri apologized: "Master, speaking of it, I hope you won't laugh, but this illness was not cured by me."

"Not cured by you?" The Frontier Elder was surprised, "My medical skills are said to be second in the world, and no one dares to claim first. Could it be that there is someone with higher medical skills than me who took action to treat your illness?"

"That is not the case." Ouyang Mingri laughed, "Master's medical skills are naturally the best in the world. However, the person who took action is not a person of this world."

"Not a person of this world?" The Frontier Elder was stunned, looking toward the sky, his expression becoming suspicious, "Mingri, you aren't afraid that Master lacks the capacity to tolerate others and are borrowing the name of a celestial being to put my heart at ease, are you? Rest assured, if your medical skills surpass your master's, I will only be happy, never jealous."

"Master, what are you saying? I was raised by you, naturally I would not doubt you." Ouyang Mingri said, "What I said is true. The one who cured my injuries is not of this realm, but an immortal from another world." ===== CHAPTER 835 =====

Set your heart at ease. Rest assured, if your medical skills surpass your master's, I will only be happy, never jealous."

"Master, what are you saying? You raised me, so naturally, I would never doubt you," Ouyang Mingri said. "What I said is true. The one who healed my injuries was not a person of this realm, but

an immortal from another world."
