"Who exactly are you? How did you see it?"
Zhou Qianyuan looked at Lin Chen and took the initiative to ask.
Just now, Lin Chen was outside gnawing on a lamb leg and hadn't even touched Young Master Zhou's body, yet he could directly see through the young master's true illness.
Wasn't this too divine?
"Heh, Traditional Chinese Medicine emphasizes observation, listening, questioning, and pulse-taking."
"But most doctors are good at questioning and pulse-taking."
"However, they are not satisfactory when it comes to observation and listening."
Lin Chen threw away the lamb bone in his hand and took out a tissue to wipe his hands.
"The so-called observation is to look at the patient's complexion, and as for listening, more importantly, it is the patient's smell."
"The young master's complexion is rosy, but it's pale within the red."
"The aura on his body is chaotic, but it's mixed with water and fire attributes. These are all basic things, how? Is this difficult?"
As Lin Chen spoke, everyone in the room was a little stunned.
They all knew about observation, listening, questioning, and pulse-taking, but hearing Lin Chen talk about it now, it felt like what they had heard before was just superficial knowledge.
Especially Zhou Qianyuan, who was shocked before, had completely transformed into a humble listener.
"Mr. Lin, do you know why the young master is like this?"
After listening to Lin Chen, Zhou Qianyuan cupped his hands towards Lin Chen and took the initiative to ask for advice.
Since he knew the true pathological manifestation of the young master, Zhou Qianyuan knew very well that this illness was no longer something he could cure!
"What? Did I hear that right? Master Zhou is actively asking him questions?"
"My heavens, who is this kid?"
A group of people swallowed and their eyes were filled with shock.
Who in the entire southwest cultivation world didn't know about Master Zhou's personality?
He was notoriously petty and protective of his own people in the southwest. Now that he was humbly asking for advice, wasn't this young man too extraordinary?
"Hehehe, Patriarch Sun, I must congratulate you!"
Lin Chen did not answer Zhou Qianyuan's question, but instead turned to look at Sun Zhiqian beside him.
"Uh, this... Mr. Lin, my grandson is in critical condition, what is there to congratulate?"
Sun Zhiqian gave a wry smile. His attitude towards Lin Chen had completely changed, and he even addressed Lin Chen as "Mr. Lin" along with Zhou Qianyuan.
He also knew that, like Master Zhou, he had underestimated this young man in front of him.
"Hahaha, actually, the young master has a water-attribute spiritual root, but also a fire-attribute spiritual root. There was a mistake in the cultivation technique you taught him, which led to the blockage of his meridians."
Lin Chen laughed heartily and explained.
"Ah? Water-attribute spiritual root, and also fire-attribute spiritual root?"
Sun Zhiqian was a little slow to react to Lin Chen's words.
But in just a moment, Sun Zhiqian's eyes widened, full of disbelief.
"Mr. Lin, are you saying that Xiaotian's spiritual root is the legendary dual-attribute spiritual root?"
Sun Zhiqian swallowed and asked Lin Chen.
A dual-attribute spiritual root, that was a genius that only existed in legends!
"That's right."
"For ordinary people with dual spiritual roots, they are usually complementary, so even if they cultivate a single cultivation technique, there are no problems."
"But the young master is special. He possesses both water and fire dual spiritual roots, so no matter which cultivation technique he cultivates, he will be rejected by the other spiritual root."
Lin Chen nodded and explained patiently.
He was actually a little interested in Sun Xiaotian.
This Sun Xiaotian, who was only four or five years old, with water and fire dual spiritual roots, if he could accept him as a disciple, it would be a great talent for the growth of the Ghost God Sect!
"So that's how it is!"
After listening to Lin Chen's explanation, everyone in the room felt relieved.
"Then, Mr. Lin, is there any way to solve this?"
"Does this mean that my grandson can only cultivate ordinary cultivation techniques from now on?"
But then, Sun Zhiqian was almost in tears.
The advantage of cultivators with elemental spiritual roots was that they could cultivate elemental cultivation techniques, and their cultivation speed would increase exponentially.
But with water and fire irreconcilable, did this mean that his grandson, despite having dual spiritual roots, could only cultivate non-elemental cultivation techniques like ordinary cultivators?
"Hahaha, that's not necessarily the case."
"The world is full of wonders. As long as you can find a water and fire dual-attribute cultivation technique, the young master's illness will naturally be resolved."
Lin Chen smiled again, looking profound.
"This..."
After listening to Lin Chen's explanation, Sun Zhiqian became even more troubled.
In the cultivation world, most cultivation techniques were non-elemental cultivation techniques for ordinary people to cultivate.
Any cultivation technique with elemental attributes was extremely precious, let alone a cultivation technique for water and fire dual spiritual roots.
Water and fire are irreconcilable, this is a law of heaven and earth, who could write a cultivation technique that allows water and fire to merge?
"Hahaha, Patriarch Sun, to tell you the truth, my sect has a water and fire dual spiritual root cultivation technique."
"If you are willing to give your consent and let the young master become my disciple, I will naturally hand over this cultivation technique with both hands!"
Lin Chen looked at Sun Zhiqian and stated his condition.
The cultivation technique for water and fire dual spiritual roots was indeed precious. He had searched the first three floors of the Scripture Tower in the Nine Dragon Ring, and only found one.
He had no friendship with the Sun family, so he couldn't just give away something so precious for a few words, could he?
"Oh? Mr. Lin, may I ask which sect you belong to?"
Hearing Lin Chen's words, Sun Zhiqian became curious.
"Ghost God Sect."
Lin Chen did not hide it and directly stated the name of the sect.
"This... Second Brother, Third Brother, what do you think?"
Hearing that Lin Chen only mentioned the name of a small sect he had never heard of, Sun Zhiqian became hesitant.
Their Sun family, as one of the five major sects and four great families in the southwest, even if at the bottom, was still quite famous in the entire southwest.
Now, his only grandson was going to join an obscure small sect, which indeed made him somewhat hesitant.
"Big Brother, Xiaotian is your grandson, so of course you have the final say."
"Yes, yes, Big Brother, we can't say much about this matter."
The two Sun family elders beside him looked at Sun Zhiqian and expressed their thoughts.
Sun Xiaotian's matter was of great importance, so it was better for Sun Zhiqian to make the decision himself.
"Cough, cough, Patriarch Sun, may this old man say a word?"
However, just as Sun Zhiqian was full of hesitation, Zhou Qianyuan, who had been silent beside him, stepped forward and cupped his hands towards Sun Zhiqian.
"Oh? Master Zhou, please speak freely!"
Hearing that Master Zhou had something to say, Sun Zhiqian's face lit up with a glimmer of hope.
After all, Master Zhou was a second-grade alchemist, perhaps he really had a way to solve it.
"Patriarch Sun, looking at the young master's condition, if he doesn't get a cultivation technique soon, exploding his body and dying is only a matter of time."
"Since that's the case, why not fulfill this good deed?"
Master Zhou gave a wry smile and expressed his thoughts.
