Chen Zheng pondered for a moment before replying, "It's not impossible, but she would need to practice a milder cultivation technique. She'd also need help suppressing her True Qi while rapidly replenishing her qi and blood essence."

"It sounds simple, but it's incredibly difficult."

Guo Fu fell silent.

Guo Xiancheng's eyes shone like stars. He stepped forward resolutely and bowed respectfully to Chen Zheng. "I earnestly request Grandmaster Chen to lend a hand and save my granddaughter. The Guo Family is willing to pay any price."

Guo Fu finally raised her head, her eyes filled with hope for the future as she gazed intently at Chen Zheng.

However, Chen Zheng sank into deep thought.

Truthfully, I don't like getting involved in disputes, especially since my life is already more than comfortable. As for the Guo Family's cultivation techniques, I have little interest in them.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully triggering a choice mission]

[Choice One: Cure Guo Fu and receive the following reward: Nine Yang Divine Technique]

[Choice Two: Refuse to save her and receive the following reward: 1 billion in cash]

Hearing this, Chen Zheng made his choice without hesitation.

The Nine Yang Divine Technique—a legendary art that shone with a mysterious light. Now that it has appeared, how could I possibly let it slip through my fingers?

Then, Chen Zheng asked coolly, "Any price? What price can you pay?"

The system reward is just an appetizer; the payment from the Guo Family is the feast I truly anticipate.

After a moment of silence, Guo Xiancheng summoned his courage and said, "Ancient martial cultivation techniques might not interest you, so how about one billion in cash?"

"If that is not enough, we are willing to give you everything we have!" Guo Xiancheng's voice was filled with sincere reverence.

To them, a billion in cash was an incalculable fortune.

"Then let it be so," Chen Zheng said after a moment's thought, deciding to treat it as a friendly agreement.

"Grandmaster Chen, we are immensely grateful for your generosity!" Guo Xiancheng was overjoyed.

Guo Fu finally let out a sigh of relief.

"Let's go. Take me to your residence," Chen Zheng's voice echoed in the air.

Guo Xiancheng and Guo Fu promptly led him through a fog-enshrouded mountain path toward a pavilion at the peak. From there, they descended a flight of stairs and boarded an Audi, which shot off like an arrow.

Half an hour later, they arrived at a traditional courtyard house brimming with historical charm.

The owner of this residence must be incredibly wealthy and noble, Chen Zheng marveled inwardly. Every item within the courtyard exuded an inestimable value.

Guo Fu began to brew tea while Guo Xiancheng and Chen Zheng sat before a precious tea table.

Chen Zheng pretended to reach into his robes, but he actually materialized a piece of paper from his system storage. "This is the cultivation technique for the Art of Longevity. It is gentle yet powerful, making it perfect for Guo Fu's transition to a new technique."

Guo Xiancheng was initially curious, but upon hearing it was a cultivation technique, he immediately suppressed his eagerness. Chen Zheng knew well that peering at another's cultivation technique was taboo. He casually produced the paper and paid it no further mind, naturally discouraging anyone from trying to sneak a peek. Guo Xiancheng's discretion was admirable.

"We are truly grateful, Grandmaster Chen!"

In truth, Chen Zheng was unconcerned. To him, it was just another cultivation technique. He gave a slight nod and began to leisurely savor the tea in his hand.

"Young lady," Guo Xiancheng instructed Guo Fu, "take this paper. Once you've memorized the key points, burn it. Make sure it is never revealed to anyone."

"Yes, Grandfather!" Guo Fu replied, leaving with the paper clutched tightly in her hand.

Guo Xiancheng enthusiastically invited Chen Zheng to share more fine tea. They chatted for an hour and a half amidst the fragrant aroma, until Guo Fu's figure appeared at the door again.

"How did it go?" Chen Zheng's voice was gentle and concerned.

"I've committed it all to memory!" Guo Fu's voice brimmed with confidence.

"Excellent! Let's begin. We'll use the courtyard."

The three of them walked into the sunny courtyard.

Chen Zheng's voice rang out again. "I will guide you in controlling your True Qi. You must use the cultivation technique to transform it into your own power."

He produced a gleaming Peiyuan Pill. "This pill will work its magic inside you," he continued, "mitigating the latent damage caused by your practice of the Yang Lie Technique."

"Yes!" Guo Fu solemnly accepted the pill, which gleamed with a mysterious light. She sat down gracefully in a cross-legged position and gently placed the pill in her mouth.

"Begin cycling the technique!" Chen Zheng commanded.

Not daring to slacken in the slightest, Guo Fu immediately began to circulate the Art of Longevity, guiding the flow of True Qi within her body.

"ARGH!"

However, the Art of Longevity was starkly different from her previous technique. The abrupt change caused such intense pain that she couldn't help but cry out.

"Endure it!" Chen Zheng's calm voice echoed through the air as his large hand, like a soothing breeze, gently pressed onto the top of her head.

Guo Fu clenched her jaw, focusing all her concentration on cycling the technique. Chen Zheng infused his immense power into her, instantly suppressing the rampant True Qi and bringing her a wave of relief. His power then branched out, spreading through her entire body like a fine rain. At the same time, he guided the medicinal power of the Peiyuan Pill, allowing it to slowly diffuse throughout her system.

His True Qi is so powerful! It's simply incomparable to Grandfather's, Guo Fu thought, thoroughly shaken.

Standing to the side, Guo Xiancheng also sensed the aura emanating from Chen Zheng, and a feeling of awe washed over him.

The aura I feel from him is like an endless ocean—deep and vast, far beyond my imagination. Initially, I thought his strength was on par with mine, but the reality is astonishing. The gap between us is colossal!

"Focus your mind, gather your Qi, and transform your True Yuan!" Chen Zheng's voice resounded.

Guo Fu didn't dare to falter and immediately circulated her cultivation technique while Chen Zheng assisted her in absorbing the medicinal power to strengthen her foundation.

Time flew. When they had first returned to the courtyard house, it was around four in the afternoon. Now, the sun had sunk in the west, its light no longer dazzling, heralding the arrival of dusk.

After hours of effort, Guo Fu finally completed the transformation of her True Qi, and a powerful aura erupted from her pores. Beads of sweat glistened on her forehead like dewdrops in the early morning.

Finally, Chen Zheng gently withdrew his hand.

I've used about ten percent of my True Qi, but that's of little concern, he thought, silently assessing his internal state.

Guo Fu also slowly exhaled a long breath, completing the cultivation process.

Guo Xiancheng rushed forward, anxiously asking about her condition.

A radiant smile spread across Guo Fu's face. "Grandfather, I feel wonderful—so relaxed and cheerful!"

Guo Xiancheng immediately turned to express his heartfelt gratitude to Chen Zheng.

"There's no need for such formality," Chen Zheng said with a smile and a wave of his hand. "I will write out a prescription for a nourishing tonic. She must take it consistently for the next thirty days. The medicine is designed to solidify her foundation and nurture her True Yuan."
