Chapter 8: The Three Yang Channels and the Conception Vessel

  "You, you, how can you be so unprogressive?"

  Mr. Xu was so angry that he puffed out his mustache and glared, just about to scold Xu Yi a few words, but saw Xu Yi slowly standing up, unbuttoning the buttons on his clothes, revealing his rough chest, his body was very strong, eight pack abs evenly distributed on his abdomen, like a delicate bulletproof vest.

  However, the only thing that ruins this beauty is a thin black line on Xu Yi's lower left chest.

  "What's going on here?"

  Mr. Xu's heart skipped a beat, and he recalled the words of Chi Songzi twenty years ago. His face suddenly sank, and he quickly walked to Xu Yi's front, pointing at the black line on his chest. "Tell Grandpa honestly, is your illness not cured?"

  "Son, speak, speak!"

  Xu Zhengchun was also stunned, just thinking of taking advantage of the old man's anger to persuade his son, did not expect that in the blink of an eye things would take such a turn, although he didn't know what the thin line on his son's body was, but without thinking, it was clear that it wasn't anything good.

  "Grandfather, is it really that easy to cure San Yang's absolute pulse?"

  A faint bitter smile appeared on Xu's face, "All these years, Master has been using his true energy to help me suppress it for free, not letting it erupt. By the time this thin line rises to my left chest, I will have reached the end of my life."

  "This, this, how can this be?"

  Mr. Xu was taken aback, his hands trembling with excitement, "If Chi Songzi didn't cure you, how could he let you leave the mountain?"

  "Grandfather, you can't blame my master either. For so many years, Master has been suppressing the outbreak of the Three Yang Meridians, and his own cultivation has been stagnant. I couldn't rely on Master for a lifetime, could I? Besides, now I can use the true energy in my dantian to suppress the outbreak of the Three Yang Meridians."

  Xu shook his head, in fact, from the age of twenty, he began to use the true energy in his dantian to suppress the three yang meridians, which had already made his master suffer for eighteen years, causing his master's cultivation to stagnate for many years.

  Since he can already use his true energy to suppress the onset of the Three Yang Meridians, he naturally doesn't need to trouble Master anymore.

  "Ah, even your master can't thoroughly cure you?"

  Mr. Xu was stunned, feeling a wave of dizziness and numbness in his head, and before he knew it, his body had fallen backwards, but fortunately, Xu Yi let out a shout and quickly stepped forward to catch Mr. Xu's falling body.

  "Dad, what's wrong? What's wrong?" Xu Zhengchun was also startled and took a step forward, his face tense as he looked at Old Man Xu.

  Xu Yi didn't say a word and helped Old Man Xu sit down on the sofa, quickly opening the box and swiftly stabbing down with a silver needle.

  After a while, Mr. Xu slowly woke up, and in his heart, Xu Zhengchun secretly let out a sigh of relief. If the old man had fallen ill because of his son's affairs, he would have become a sinner in the eyes of the Xu family. Everything the Xu family has now is built on the foundation of the old man being alive.

  After all, the Xu family is not a prominent aristocratic family in Beijing. The Xu family's current status is all thanks to Old Master Xu. If Old Master Xu were to fall ill and pass away, it can be imagined that the Xu family would slowly decline. After all, Xu Zhengchun is only a deputy ministerial cadre, and as long as Old Master Xu is around, people will still give him some respect.

  If the old man doesn't recover from his illness, Xu Zhengchun's chances of further advancement will be very slim. The officialdom has never lacked talent.

  "I'm fine, don't worry about it, I won't die for a while."

  Mr. Xu slowly opened his eyes, struggled to sit up from the sofa, and Mr. Xu immediately poured a cup of hot water and brought it over. The old man took the cup and drank some hot water, leaning back against the sofa, and Mr. Xu took the cup from his hand and placed it on the tea table.

  "Alright, let's just let the child do what he wants, as long as he doesn't break the law. We'll try to satisfy his demands." Mr. Xu leaned back in his chair, looking at Xu Yi with a gentle expression. "Child, you just said that you can suppress the onset of the Three Yang Pulse, does that mean there's no way to completely cure it?"

  "Grandpa, I don't know if there's a way to cure it completely. All I know is that Master said the Three Yang Pulse type has only had a few cases in thousands of years, and the person who lived the longest with it only made it to 28 years old."

  Xu smiled and the smile on his face grew brighter, looking down at the black line on his chest. "I'm already 23 this year, I don't know when this black line will reach my left chest, but I've learned martial arts, so I shouldn't just live until 28, right?"

  Xu Zhengchun's face was deathly pale, he opened his mouth wanting to speak, but ultimately couldn't say a word, and slumped down on the sofa, his hands grasping at his hair, low growls emanating from his throat.

  "Dad, don't be sad either, I'm fine, aren't I?"

  Xu walked up to Xu Zhengchun and said, "Besides, Master also said that he had read my fortune-telling chart, I'm not a short-lived person, there should be a turning point."

  "What's going on, what's going on?" Xu Zhengchun was stunned for a moment, his hands paused, and he quickly stood up from the sofa, grasping Xu Yi's shoulders tightly. "Son, Dad won't force you to study anymore, and you don't have to join the army either. You can do whatever you want, but you must have confidence, your illness will definitely get better."

  "Having confidence doesn't necessarily mean you can do it, but without confidence, you definitely can't!"

  A warm current surged in Xu Yi's heart, and at this moment, he felt the fatherly love was like a mountain. "Dad, don't worry, Master said I'm not destined to die young, if something were to happen, Master wouldn't let me leave the mountain. Since he let me come down the mountain, it must mean my opportunity has arrived."

  At this point, Xu Yi's voice paused, and a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed through his mind. Could it be that this time the master let him go down the mountain, was really because there was a great opportunity, otherwise, after he returned to the mountain, he didn't even test his skills, and directly let him go down the mountain? This is absolutely impossible for the master's character.

  Moreover, Master has always been cautious in his actions, how could he rashly let himself go down the mountain?

  "Grandpa, Dad, this matter can only be known by the three of us, and it must not be told to anyone else." Xu thought of something, "Not even my mom can know about it, so she won't worry."

  Xu Zhengchun nodded, a hint of sadness flashing in his eyes.

  Mr. Xu leaned back on the sofa, staring blankly at the ceiling, while Xu Yi looked at their expressions, wanting to comfort them but not knowing what to say, and also couldn't help feeling regretful in her heart, maybe she shouldn't have told them this news.

  "Xiao Yi, go take a bath and get some rest."

  Mr. Xu slowly straightened his back, and a resolute glint flashed in his turbid eyes, "You must remember, your illness will definitely get better, Grandpa won't let anything happen to you."

  "Grandpa, my master said that I have great wealth and good fortune in my destiny, how can it be so easy to die?" Xu Yi laughed and stood up, "However, tomorrow I want to go take a look at Dad's office."

  Xu Zhengchun was taken aback by his words, "Go to my office, what's so great about that?"

  "Dad, I just want to go to your workplace and our own home to take a look."

  Xu Yi's heart moved, perhaps this was an opportunity. The person who set up a plot against his father behind his back could set up a Feng Shui array to gather evil spirits and destroy his father's luck. Then the place where he made his move would not be outside of his father's office or home.

  Only after helping his father get rid of this hidden danger can Xu Yi put his mind at ease and go to be his little cotton-padded jacket.

  Xu Zhengchun felt a pang of sadness, thinking of his son's 20 years of hardship in the Changbai Mountains. The softest part of his heart was suddenly touched, and he nodded, "Okay, son, tomorrow come with me to the office."

  His voice paused, he looked up at Old Man Xu and said, "Dad, let Xiao Yi follow me home tonight, and have him come over to keep you company in a couple of days."

  "Alright, alright, you can go back now."

  Mr. Xu waved his hand wearily and slowly closed his eyes.

  The residential area of the National Development and Reform Commission is located in the third ring of the city, with a very good environment and greening, and the houses stand under the night sky.

  "Son, come home."

  Yuan Fangfei pushed open the car door and briefly introduced the situation of the community to Xu. Xu looked around at the surroundings and immediately dismissed the idea that someone had set up a feng shui array in the community to harm his father.

  So the Feng Shui array can only be set up in Father's office, because Lao Ye Zi's residence has also been checked by Xu Yi and there is no Feng Shui array. Especially in the Military Commission compound where all the old generals live, each of them is a master who came out of the battlefield, and that place has too much yang energy, it is absolutely not a good place to set up a Feng Shui array.

  "Grandma, open the door, we're back!"

  A little girl ran past Xu Yi, calling out in a sweet voice as she went. A young man carrying something followed behind her and nodded politely to Xu Zhengchun and the others.

  Xu Yi's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly remembered something. "Mom, I remember when grandma passed away, she said she wanted to be buried in our old home in Jiangnan. When she passed away, I didn't even get to see her off. I think I'll go back to the old house to take a look."

  "Son, how did you think of going back to our hometown? We haven't been back for many years."

  Yuan Fangfei frowned, "We're all busy, no time to accompany you back."

  "Mom, don't worry about accompanying me, I'm so big now, can't I take the bus back by myself?" Xu Yi smiled and almost forgot the most important thing - the location of the Feng Shui array was most likely to be in Jiangnan Province's old home, after all, his father was the deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, and it wasn't easy for ordinary people to enter the office.

  It's actually the old house in Jiangnan that is most likely to be targeted, after all, it's too far from the capital city, especially since no one has returned home for many years, even if someone did something there, nobody would know.

  "Xiao Fei, let the child go back and take a look by herself. After all, that is our old home."

  Xu Zhengchun spoke up, "However, son, didn't you say you wanted to take a look at my office?"
