Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill Chapter 1234 - 538: Life-Saving Grace

Li Yunjing quickly stepped forward, extending his hands to grasp Steward Li’s branch-like hands, spiritual power quietly entering the opponent’s meridians, but he noticed that those channels were already riddled with holes, full of marks from years of erosion.

"You saved my life on a rainy night back then. Without you, there wouldn’t be today’s Li Yunjing!"

His voice deepened, and three elixirs swirling with rosy light flew from his sleeve directly into Steward Li’s mouth, "These are Tier Three ’Healing Pills’, capable of reshaping meridians and prolonging life!"

Before Steward Li could react, Li Yunjing had already begun to channel mana to help him refine the medicinal power.

Otherwise, without his help, Steward Li would not be able to withstand the medicinal power, and it would directly shatter his internal organs, resulting in an untimely death!

With Li Yunjing’s help, the medicinal power began to circulate slowly within Steward Li’s body, infiltrating his internal organs, bones, blood, meridians, muscles...

The elders of the Yu Family immediately signaled everyone to be quiet, carefully providing protection for Li Yunjing!

Everyone’s faces showed a hint of tension, seemingly unaware of how much they cared for this old steward.

Yet, in their hearts, they silently recalled when Steward Li had saved Li Yunjing’s life.

What they didn’t know was that the incident on the mountain path years ago was just a trivial matter, which Steward Li didn’t keep in mind and naturally wouldn’t report.

Li Yunjing’s palms emitted a lustrous white light, and the spiritual power in his palms seeped into Steward Li’s body like a gentle stream.

The damaged meridians, under the dual action of medicinal and spiritual power, began to heal slowly like a dry riverbed welcoming spring rain.

Steward Li’s originally sallow face gradually showed a flush, and his hunched back subconsciously straightened somewhat.

As the medicinal power circulated, Steward Li suddenly coughed violently, spitting black blood onto the ground, and the nauseating smell spread.

Li Yunjing’s expression grew solemn, increasing the output of spiritual power, and he shouted in a low voice, "Go!"

A golden light entered Steward Li’s body through the Baihui point, dispersing the chronic wounds hidden deep in his organs.

Half an hour later, Li Yunjing withdrew his hands, his face calm, with his breath undisturbed.

Healing Steward Li wouldn’t consume much.

To Li Yunjing, it was merely a trivial matter.

Steward Li slowly opened his eyes, his originally cloudy gaze becoming slightly clearer, and he moved his stiff limbs, his voice incredulous, "The old servant feels as if he’s young again by seventy or eighty years!"

Yu Zhenshan quickly stepped forward, respectfully saying, "Nephew’s miraculous medical skills are truly admirable!"

The other elders echoed in agreement, looking at Li Yunjing with increased respect in their eyes.

A person who doesn’t forget a life-saving debt is considered a trustworthy "good person" in many eyes!

Li Yunjing was labeled a "good person", which made the Yu Family respect this son-in-law even more.

"From now on, you will follow me back to the ’Shenxiao Dao Sect’, and I will have a small courtyard built next to the ’Seven Star Palace’, with daily attendants."

Li Yunjing waved and retrieved a set of Tier Three Lower Grade robes from his "Storage Ring", personally helping Steward Li put them on: "If you have any needs, just speak up."

Steward Li knelt with a thud, tears streaming down, "How could this old servant deserve such care from the young master..."

"Your kindness, I will never forget."

Li Yunjing quickly helped him up, his gaze firm, "From today on, you are family to Li Yunjing!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the hall was moved.

The Yu Family only then understood why Li Yunjing valued this seemingly ordinary old steward so much.

This gratitude spanning decades turned into a bond more precious than any treasure at this moment.

The previously gloomy air around Steward Li had long dissipated; though not fully restored to his youthful state, his back was straight, his eyes bright, and he regained some of his former zest.

"From now on, you’ll enjoy your twilight years at the ’Shenxiao Dao Sect’. "

Li Yunjing again waved his hand to summon a White Jade Pill Furnace, upon which the carved Immortal Cranes seemed ready to soar: "This furnace can autonomously refine life-extend elixirs, and when I have time, I’ll personally take care of your health!"

"Steward Li has granted me a life-rebuilding kindness, and from today his status is on par with the elders of the Yu Family!"

He turned to Yu Zhenshan, his gaze resolute.

Steward Li looked at the suspended elixirs and the pill furnace, tears welling up in his cloudy eyes, dripping onto Li Yunjing’s hand.

The young man who almost drowned on the muddy path years ago had become a towering figure, and this gratitude was returned with such overwhelming force after forty years.

Steward Li felt as if he were in a different world.

He had never expected Li Yunjing to repay him, a mere passerby, so generously.

Understandably, in society, human feelings are often indifferent; even a life-saving debt is disregarded, akin to the tale of Dongguo and the wolf.

Li Yunjing was a rarity!

"Nephew, rest assured, Steward Li will be treated with the respect due to a clan elder in ’Yue Ming City’ by the Yu Family from now on!"

Yu Zhenshan quickly agreed: "Even if he moves to reside in the ’Shenxiao Dao Sect’, I guarantee the annual tributes will not be reduced by a single bit!"

After saying this, he gestured for his attendant to bring a "Storage Bracelet", which he placed in Steward Li’s palm, "From today onwards, Old Li’s treatment is equal to that of a clan elder! This is ten years’ worth of salary!"

"This..."

Steward Li hesitated.

The Yu Family treated him well, but in terms of status, he wasn’t on par with the Yu Family’s direct line, and lacking generous treatment was understandable.
