Chapter 425: Chapter 424: Cold Toad Seal (Part 3)

"How can this be, your Needle Technique, how can it be so terrifying, it must surpass all other needle techniques!" Elder Yi said in shock, his face filled with surprise.

"Trifling skill of little significance." Mu Chen said with a smile, then withdrew the silver needles, having already cured the patient.

"Trifling skill of little significance, I don’t think it’s that simple, what exactly is this Needle Technique of yours?" Elder Yi asked again.

"Elder Yi, it seems you’re very interested in my Needle Technique!" Mu Chen said, his expression changing.

"Frankly speaking, I’ve secluded myself here not just for a vacation, but also to take care of my grandson who has contracted a terminal illness. I have been searching for a medical expert with profound skill. Your medical expertise is terrifyingly peculiar, and I hope you can take a look at him. Even if you can’t cure him, at least give it a look." The elder’s voice carried a hint of request.

"A child has contracted a terminal illness, that can’t be! Could it be leukemia?"

"It’s not, I’m not sure myself, I don’t know how to explain it. If you have time, Mu Chen, could you come with me to see him? If you can really save him, I, Elder Yi, owe you a favor." Elder Yi said excitedly.

Mu Chen’s gaze changed, a favor from a powerful being is very valuable!

"Let’s go and take a look, but I must say in advance, Elder Yi, I’m not entirely confident, especially since you have already consulted many doctors." Mu Chen said, his gaze shifting.

"Yes, our family has only a single heir for each generation. My son and daughter-in-law have both passed away; he is my last hope, and I do not wish for him to follow in their footsteps."

"Elder Yi, before we leave, I have a question, could you tell me?"

"What question?"

"Actually, you knew of my existence early on, saw me practicing Martial Arts just now, found an opportunity and took it to come in, right? Am I correct?" Mu Chen said, his gaze changing.

"Did you notice?" Elder Yi’s expression changed, not expecting Mu Chen to have discovered this.

"When your Shattering Heart Palm confronted my Emperor Palm, I felt that you did not use your full strength, and since you’re adept at footwork, you must know some Qimen Dunjia techniques. It’s not possible for your defences to be that weak."

"You’re very clever, I might as well tell you the truth! When you were in Yundu, you miraculously saved Old Master Eastern. This news reached my ears three days ago, so I came here with the hope that you could take action. Of course, before that, I naturally wanted to see if your medical skills were genuine. I was also curious about your Martial Arts and wanted to seek guidance." Elder Yi said earnestly.

"Alright! I understand now, I thought a supreme master was really going to appear here." Mu Chen shook his head.

Next, the two quickly left the place, and under Elder Yi’s guidance, Mu Chen arrived at a secluded villa, and soon they reached a room. Inside the room lay a child, about five or six years old, sleeping on the bed. A child who should have been lively and adorable was instead extremely weak, and it seemed like a chill was emanating from his body.

"Grandpa, have you come?" The child opened his eyes but was unable to move; he spoke faintly, appearing to be in great pain.

"Grandpa’s here." Elder Yi said, approaching the child seriously.

"Who is this brother?" The child looked at Mu Chen, puzzled.

Mu Chen also watched the child attentively, observing him seriously.

"This is a doctor I’ve found for you." Elder Yi said earnestly.

"A doctor? Hello, doctor." The child said innocently.

"Hello." Mu Chen replied indifferently.

"Hm, Zhi’er, don’t talk now, let the doctor take a good look at you."

"Yes, Grandpa."

"Mu Chen, I transfer powerful energy to him every day to keep him alive, otherwise, he would have already died." Elder Yi whispered to Mu Chen.

"It’s evident, the child has a lot of energy." Mu Chen said, sitting beside the bed and taking the child’s pulse.

Mu Chen was now puzzled as he couldn’t see anything wrong; it wasn’t due to a special physique nor anything else, which made it quite tricky.

"Was he born like this?" Mu Chen’s expression changed.

"No, he turned like this after his parents died when he was only four years old. I once thought someone had poisoned him, but I was unable to figure it out." Elder Yi said seriously, his heart in great agony. He wished all suffering could be his own and that there would be no more torture for the child.

"I see! Let me see what’s inside his body." Mu Chen said, and a silver needle appeared, piercing directly into the child’s hand. Energy directly entered the child’s body.

Mu Chen possessed an ability to sense all conditions within a person’s body through his energy and to see things invisible to others.

"What is this?" Mu Chen’s expression changed as he felt an energy fluctuation around the heart, seemingly like a seal, emitting a cold essence.

"Did you feel something?" Elder Yi said excitedly.

"It’s Cold Poison, from a millennium-old Cold Toad, if my guess is not wrong."

"Cold Poison, how could it be Cold Poison, what’s going on?" The old man’s face changed.

"I can say this, there is a millennium-old Cold Toad inside his body, but it’s under a seal, only emitting a trickle of energy. However, even this trickle is too much for a child to withstand." Mu Chen spoke seriously.

"A millennium-old Cold Toad, how could this be, how could this be, who would go this far, no wonder it’s unstoppable, no wonder no cure has worked." Elder Yi’s face changed drastically.

"Who have you all offended to have someone torment a child like this, even using a millennium-old Cold Toad?" Mu Chen said earnestly.

"The Cold Toad Seal, it must be people from Emperor Domain." The elder’s face changed.

"Emperor Domain, perhaps!" Mu Chen said lightly, though he found it hard to believe. The Emperor Domain seemed above such actions.

"Mu Chen, thank you, at least now I know what it is. The seal from Emperor Domain, it’s impossible to contend against." Elder Yi spoke in despair.

"I don’t understand this so-called Cold Toad Sealing; do you know about it?"

"I also don’t know much, just that it’s a Forbidden Technique. A thing of the past from Emperor Domain, it hasn’t been seen for hundreds of thousands of years."

"Maybe I know something now." Mu Chen said, his gaze changing.

"What?" Elder Yi said excitedly, convinced that Mu Chen was an incredibly terrifying individual.

"Because of you, because it’s you." Mu Chen said seriously.

"Because of me, why?" Elder Yi was confused.

"Don’t you understand? With your profound Cultivation, Realm, and Energy, you would never let your grandson die. You’d definitely draw upon more energy to suppress the curse, even at the cost of your life. Now do you understand?"
