Chapter 153

Qin Jun noticed Tang Yuanhui's confusion and immediately introduced:

"Grandpa Tang, he is Liu Shengyi, a Mysterious Gate divine doctor who is skilled in treating various diseases and can refine pills. A year ago, it was he who used pills to cure my grandfather's lung cancer. His medical skills are very high, and what he says is absolutely true."

Lin Yu noticed that Qin Jun was emitting a bright red radiance like a blazing fire, highlighting the iron-blooded temperament he inherited from the Chang'an Qin family.

At this time, Tang Yuanhui didn't respond to Qin Jun, but turned to Lin Yu and asked, "Lin Yu, I want to hear your opinion; what on earth is wrong with my body?"

Liu Shengyi clearly didn't expect Tang Yuanhui to value Lin Yu so much and couldn't help but snort coldly, quite dissatisfied.

"Respected Old Tang, to tell you the truth, medical skill is a discipline that relies on the accumulation of experience and requires a large amount of practice to master.

Judging from this young man's appearance, he likely lacks sufficient clinical experience, so we should not easily trust his judgment."

Lin Yu wasn't surprised by this; after all, most people would use age as a standard when choosing a doctor.

However, Lin Yu was different; since he was five or six years old, he had begun to study medical classics and accompanied his father on house calls, accumulating rich experience equivalent to that of an old physician who had practiced medicine for twenty years.

After listening to Tang Junsheng's description of his own condition, Lin Yu determined that Tang Yuanhui's internal breath was at a critical moment of breakthrough, so he bowed deeply to Tang Yuanhui, "Junior congratulates Grandpa Tang in advance."

Liu Shengyi listened and laughed with disdain, pointing at Lin Yu and scolding him, "Hahaha, a little brat talking nonsense; Old Tang is so seriously ill, what is there to congratulate?"

Tang Yuanhui, who knew his own condition, very much agreed with Lin Yu's point of view and asked Liu Shengyi coldly, "Is that so? Then tell me, what disease do I have?"

Liu Shengyi faced the questioning, revealed a mysterious smile, turned to the others, and requested Tang Yuanhui to dismiss the bystanders, because his condition involved some secrets that were not suitable for outsiders to know.

Tang Yuanhui guessed that Liu Shengyi would say so and said with disdain, "There are no outsiders here; please speak directly."

Liu Shengyi wasn't surprised and said even more mysteriously, "Your condition is related to an old case of the Mysterious Gate; I'm afraid these young people are not qualified to know."

At this time, Tang Yiyan snorted coldly to express her dissatisfaction, "Cut it out, what is there that I cannot know?"

Tang Yuanhui put away his smile and said seriously, "If Master Liu is unwilling to disclose, please leave."

Liu Shengyi didn't expect to be asked to leave, looked at Lin Yu in confusion, snorted coldly, and prepared to leave.

Qin Jun hurriedly stopped him and begged to give Old Tang a chance to explain.

But Tang Yuanhui didn't buy it at all and said coldly, "Let him go! I've seen too many such scammers; staying will only make him embarrass himself."

These words froze the atmosphere at the scene instantly, angering Liu Shengyi, who turned around and provoked, "You think I don't have real skills? Since Old Tang isn't afraid of losing face, then I'll speak directly. Fifty years ago, did you go to the Taiyi Jinguang Cave in Zhongnan Mountain?"

Hearing this, Tang Yuanhui's face changed drastically, and he interrupted Liu Shengyi's words and roared, "Youran, Qin Jun, get out."

This sudden change stunned the two; Qin Jun was sensible enough to hurry and pull Tang Yiyan away, but Tang Yiyan broke free from his hand and left the living room full of suspicion.

Looking at Tang Yuanhui's reaction, Liu Shengyi sneered mockingly, "I thought Old Tang really didn't care about his face."

Tang Yuanhui said coldly, "The world knows about the Six Thieves of Xuanmen, but they don't know that below them are the Eight Bandits of Taiji."

This was the first time Lin Yu had heard that besides the Six Thieves of Xuanmen, there existed the so-called Eight Bandits of Taiji.

Liu Shengyi looked at Lin Yu with a hint of arrogant smile and pointed out his identity directly.

"So it's the grandson of the Stealing Heaven Thief Lin Bu'er; indeed extraordinary, able to see at a glance that Old Tang is about to break through. It's just a pity that once he breaks through the final realm, Old Tang is afraid he will have to ascend."

Hearing the word "ascend," a hint of reluctance flashed across Tang Yuanhui's face.

Lin Yu knew clearly in his heart that for people of the Mysterious Gate, ascension was just like facing death for ordinary people.

However, on the verge of ascension, a halo known as the Immortal Crown would appear behind their heads.

It is a manifestation of the cultivator's internal breath reaching the extreme. This phenomenon is known as Buddha Light in Buddhism.

Ancient books record that people whose cultivation has reached the peak will emit golden light from their bodies, and the light crown above their heads will illuminate all directions.

This means that this halo is not only a visible symbol to the naked eye but also represents the "Great Perfection" of the practitioner, foreshadowing the upcoming ascension or nirvana.

Tang Yuanhui smiled bitterly and said, "I can only blame myself for stealing the 'Taiyi Golden Flower Record' of Lu Zu."

Liu Shengyi's face changed drastically upon hearing this, and he said in disbelief, "Lu Zu is the founder of the Danding Sect and the first person to attempt to refine golden pills using the internal body as a furnace. Can Old Tang pass the 'Taiyi Golden Flower Record' to me?

I am willing to exchange it with a Life-Prolonging Pill that can extend life by ten years. In this way, when Old Tang ascends, perhaps he will have a chance to become a Land Immortal."

Tang Yuanhui was moved, his gaze fixed tightly on the jade bottle in Liu Shengyi's hand, feeling very conflicted.

But he said regretfully, "It's not that I don't want to pass it to you, but the 'Taiyi Golden Flower Record' is something I learned through a visualization diagram; this thing can only be understood intuitively and cannot be taught in words." This made Lin Yu feel very confused: is visualization really that difficult?

Liu Shengyi said disappointedly, "It's really a pity; how many times in a lifetime can a person in the Mysterious Gate enter a state of visualization? That is already a great opportunity and blessing."

Tang Yuanhui also sighed, "Indeed. Many people, even if they enter a state of visualization, may not necessarily have a visualization diagram by their side. Therefore, internal observation can be obtained through cultivation, but visualization requires luck."

Lin Yu felt very surprised; he hadn't expected that reaching a state of visualization was so difficult.

So he asked in confusion, "Sitting in meditation, breathing, internal observation—in the end, doesn't one naturally enter visualization?"

Liu Shengyi heard this and stared at Lin Yu as if looking at a fool, mocking, "The process is indeed such a process, but it is not easy for many people to be able to achieve internal observation.

As for the final visualization, most cultivators cannot reach it in their entire lives. Even if someone occasionally reaches visualization, they might miss the opportunity because they don't have a visualization diagram. Therefore, internal observation can be obtained through cultivation, but visualization requires luck."

Lin Yu was completely stunned, because what he understood was completely different.

Zhang Song and Liu Jinyong had never mentioned that visualization was such a difficult realm to reach.

However, Tang Yuanhui deeply agreed with Liu Shengyi's words and added, "Back then, I accidentally broke into the Taiyi Jinguang Cave and unexpectedly entered a state of visualization.

A portrait of Lu Zu was hanging on the wall facing the cave entrance, and just like that, by chance, I learned the 'Taiyi Golden Flower Record'."

Hearing this, Liu Shengyi was shocked, and said in disbelief, "That portrait of Lu Zu was actually a visualization diagram; I didn't expect Old Tang's opportunity to be so great."
