Lin Qian approached the bedside and attempted to channel a trace of soul power into his grandfather's body to assess his condition. This was necessary to provide the Heaven Crafts Department and the Medical Department with all the needed information to devise a treatment plan.
"Hmm?" However, as soon as Lin Qian tried to infuse his soul power, it was blocked outside, leaving him puzzled.
Seeing this, Yun Rong smiled warmly. "Silly child, your grandfather, though bedridden, still has formidable strength and a strong physique. With your current level, which is only at the fourth tier of the Awakening Realm, your soul power cannot penetrate his body."
"Fourth tier of the Awakening Realm?" As soon as Yun Rong said this, a look of surprise crossed her face.
She realized that her grandson, at just twenty-nine years of age, had already reached such a high level of cultivation. Even in the Central Domain, this level of talent was exceptionally outstanding.
Standing nearby, Yuan Hu also showed a look of admiration. Reaching such a level at this age was indeed impressive. Moreover, having heard that Lin Qian had been in the Southern Domain, where conditions were far less favorable than in the Central Domain, achieving such cultivation was even more remarkable.
Yun Rong, standing by, felt an overwhelming sense of pride. Her grandson had accomplished so much on his own in the Southern Domain. Now that he was in the Central Domain, his future seemed even more promising.
"You all have no idea just how terrifying the Young Lord truly is," Yuan Supreme suddenly remarked.
"Young Lord?" Yun Rong and Yuan Hu both stared at Yuan Supreme in shock, clearly taken aback by his words.
In this context, the only person Yuan Supreme could be referring to as the Young Lord was Lin Qian.
"Old Ancestor, you..." Yuan Hu began to speak, but before he could finish, a sudden change occurred. Lin Qian's aura shifted dramatically, surging outward.
In an instant, the golden lightning soul power, the white frost soul power, and the imperial yellow soul power—all three—manifested around Lin Qian, merging together into a golden imperial attribute soul power.
With his soul power fully unleashed, the imperial pressure filled the entire room, and the sight of twelve layers of soul rings surrounding Lin Qian left everyone in awe.
"Even though I've seen it before, the sight of the Young Lord's twelve layers of soul rings never ceases to amaze me," Yuan Supreme commented with a light laugh, admiring the radiant display.
Meanwhile, Yuan Hu was utterly stunned.
Throughout the conquest of the entire Southern Domain, Lin Qian had not neglected his cultivation. Now at the fourth tier of the Awakening Realm, his unleashed soul power exerted a pressure that was far more intense than that of ordinary cultivators.
Yun Rong, standing beside him, was left speechless, utterly shocked by this revelation. The grandson who had already felt somewhat unfamiliar now seemed even more distant and formidable.
Twelve layers of soul rings meant that Lin Qian had completed twelve rounds of Nirvana when he had reached the Nirvana Realm. This was something unheard of, a miraculous achievement that had never been witnessed before. And now, it had happened to her grandson.
At the same time, Lin Qian placed his hand on his grandfather's wrist. In this state, his soul power easily flowed into his grandfather's body, allowing him to examine the internal condition thoroughly.
Through this examination, Lin Qian observed the severe state of his grandfather's body—far from encouraging.
His grandfather's body was severely depleted of vital energy, relying entirely on Yun Rong's life force to keep his physical essence from collapsing. Although the core of his body had not been damaged, the life energy was extremely scarce.
If the essence of the body had been compromised, recovery would have been even more challenging.
The medicinal power of the ten thousand Transformation Fruits had thickened the walls of his grandfather's meridians and dantian, leaving only a narrow slit for soul power to pass through. The amount of soul power his dantian could hold was pitifully small.
Based on his assessment, Lin Qian estimated that his grandfather could only exert the strength of someone at the Life and Death Realm at most.
For someone who had earned the title of "Lord Yun" in the Central Domain, Lin Qian's grandfather must have been a powerful figure, far surpassing the Awakening Realm.
Yet now, he was reduced to this state—bedridden, emaciated, his vitality drained, and his soul power dissipating.
"Yun family patriarch?" Lin Qian withdrew his hand, his expression darkening with anger. "The Yun family… I swear I will destroy them."
Seeing Lin Qian stand up, Yuan Supreme asked with concern, "Young Lord, how is the situation?"
"No problem, my grandfather's condition can be treated," Lin Qian responded confidently. With a wave of his hand, several pink-colored vials of liquid appeared beside the bed.
The crystal-clear pink liquid shimmered within the vials, and Lin Qian handed one to his grandmother, Yun Rong. "Grandmother, please drink this. It will restore the life energy you've lost and rejuvenate your body."
Yun Rong, curious but trusting her grandson, examined the crystal vial in her hand. She had never seen such a container before, and could hardly believe that something as simple as this liquid could restore her life energy.
Yet, since it was a gift from her grandson, how could she refuse?
Without hesitation, Yun Rong uncorked the vial and drank the liquid in one go.
The moment she swallowed, Yun Rong felt a surge of powerful medicinal energy spreading throughout her body. Without any need for further refinement, the energy quickly integrated into her being.
Her entire body was revitalized, and she could feel her depleted life energy fully restored.
Yuan Hu, who had been watching closely, was astonished by what he saw. The silvery-white hair of Yun Rong gradually turned black, and the wrinkles on her face began to fade.
In truth, Yun Rong had always maintained a youthful and graceful appearance. It was only due to the draining of her life energy to support Lord Yun that she had aged so rapidly.
"What kind of medicine is this, to have such immediate and potent effects?" Yuan Hu couldn't help but voice his amazement.
Seeing Yuan Hu's reaction, Lin Qian smiled and casually tossed two more vials toward him and Yuan Supreme. "Try one yourself and see. Yuan Lao, you should have one too."
Both Yuan Supreme and Yuan Hu examined the vials in their hands, their expressions showing their surprise. From Yun Rong's reaction, it was clear that this liquid was extraordinarily precious, yet Lin Qian had given it to them so freely?
"Young Lord, this is obviously a rare and powerful elixir, probably meant for restoring life energy. I have no ailments to cure, so drinking it would be a waste," Yuan Supreme remarked with a light laugh, shaking his head.
"It's fine. The flavor of this sour milk is actually quite good. I just want you and Yuan Hu to try it out. Drink it just for fun," Lin Qian said, waving off their concerns.
