Chapter 47

Ye Bufan did not rush to lead Tang Tianyi to break through the Yellow Rank bottleneck. Instead, he slowly circulated his energy within his body, repairing the injuries he had sustained.

Once the injured meridians were almost fully repaired and the effects of the Foundation Building Pill had reached their peak, the dantian that had just been repaired was now filled with pure true qi.

Seeing that the time was right, Ye Bufan then guided his true qi to launch the final assault on the bottleneck.

The Foundation Building Pill, used by cultivators, not only increased the total amount of Tang Tianyi's true qi but also enhanced its purity.

He found that after starting this breakthrough, he encountered no resistance, easily passing through barriers that he could not overcome in the past, as if there were no difficulties at all.

"Could it be that I will really succeed this time?"

Tang Tianyi felt a surge of excitement, and at that moment, a voice sounded in his ear: "Calm down, do you want to suffer a mental breakdown?"

He was so startled that he trembled all over, quickly gathering his thoughts and focusing all his attention on the surging true qi, launching an assault on the next barrier.

A few minutes later, a faint crack sounded in his mind, and the true qi in his body exploded, becoming many times stronger than before.

His entire aura suddenly rose, and every cell was filled with immense power, as if a single punch could shatter the Earth.

At the same time, the wild true qi that had accumulated in his organs was completely cleaned out by the enhanced true qi, leaving no trace of hidden ailments.

"I've broken through! I've finally broken through!"

Tang Tianyi was so excited that he wanted to cry. Originally, he had worked his whole life without breaking through, thinking he would never achieve it in this lifetime. But unexpectedly, he met a master who helped him break through to the Mystic Rank so easily.

After the excitement, the old man sprang up from the bed and knelt before the master.

"Senior, Tang Tianyi thanks you for saving my life. From now on, you are the great benefactor of our Tang family, and all of us in the Tang family will follow your lead."

Seeing his father kneel, Tang Feng did not hesitate and knelt behind him.

At this moment, he felt no resentment, only extreme excitement. His father had entered the ranks of Mystic Rank warriors, and from now on, the status of the Tang family would rise, allowing them to advance further.

If he could make the doctor happy, perhaps one day he would help improve his own cultivation as well, which would be a blessing from heaven, something many people could not achieve in their entire lives.

After all, breaking through from a Yellow Rank warrior to a Mystic Rank warrior was a significant milestone, which was why his father had never been able to break through in his lifetime.

Now, with such a master before him, he absolutely could not miss this heaven-sent opportunity.

In traditional Chinese medicine, the wise are teachers, and in martial arts, the strong are respected.

Although Ye Bufan was only about 20 years old, he possessed the strength that earned his respect, so he knelt willingly, filled with admiration.

"Alright, both of you get up."

Ye Bufan simply waved his hand, and an invisible force lifted the father and son.

Tang Tianyi looked up, and when he saw the master clearly, he was surprised to find that the other party was just a young man around 20 years old.

However, he felt no disappointment, only greater joy.

At such a young age to have such high cultivation, his future achievements would be boundless, and he must have a powerful master behind him. This was definitely a blessing from heaven for the Tang family.

Gao Haisheng had been standing by the side, and seeing that Tang Tianyi, who had been on the brink of death, was now full of vitality, he was thoroughly convinced and had no intention of conducting further examinations.

At this moment, he was completely convinced by Ye Bufan's medical skills.

He stepped forward and said, "I used to be skeptical of traditional Chinese medicine, thinking it was just a trick, but after seeing Doctor Ye's skills, I am thoroughly convinced.

In the past, I was shallow and a laughable frog at the bottom of a well. Now, I formally apologize to you and traditional Chinese medicine. I am sorry."

After bowing deeply, he got up and left the Tang family with his assistant.

After they left, Tang Feng respectfully presented a check worth tens of millions.

"Doctor Ye, this is your fee. Please accept it as a token of our gratitude."

Ye Bufan reached out to take the check, glanced at it without looking, and put it in his pocket.

He said to Tang Tianyi, "Old Master Tang, there is something I would like to ask you about."

"Benefactor, please speak. Whatever I know, I will tell you without reservation."

In the past, Tang Tianyi was a formidable figure in Jiangnan City, and his cough could shake the entire city. But now, he was as respectful as a primary school student, without any of the airs of a big shot.

Ye Bufan said, "Old Master Tang, I am just a doctor, not a martial artist, so I do not understand the current state of martial arts in China. Could you introduce it to me?"

"Of course, what would you like to know?"

Ye Bufan said, "First, could you introduce the levels of martial artists to me?"

Tang Tianyi said, "Martial artists in China are generally divided into four levels: Earth, Heaven, Mystic, and Yellow. Each major level is further divided into four stages: early, middle, late, and great completion."

Ye Bufan asked, "What about above the Heaven level? Are there even more powerful martial artists?"

Tang Tianyi said, "Nowadays, martial arts in China have declined, and many masters of major sects are only at the Mystic level. Earth-level martial artists can become grandmasters of a sect.

Heaven-level martial artists are extremely rare, and each one is a god-like figure in the current martial arts world. As for above the Heaven level, it is said that there are sages, such as the founder of Wudang, Zhang Sanfeng, who was a sage.

Unfortunately, today, sages are just a legend and have not appeared for a long time."

Ye Bufan nodded and asked, "How many martial artists are there now, and what level is someone like Old Master Tang?"

Tang Tianyi said, "Nowadays, martial arts have declined, and young people mostly learn things like taekwondo and sanda, not realizing that these are just minor skills and do not even reach the threshold of martial arts.

Because of this, there are not many who can reach the Yellow Rank, let alone the late and great completion stages.

Our Tang family is known as a martial arts family, but in my generation, the highest cultivation is mine and Feng's, only reaching the great completion stage of the Yellow Rank. If not for meeting you today, we would probably never break through to the Mystic Rank.

As for Jiangnan City, only the president of the Martial Arts Association, Zha Baiquan, has reached the middle stage of the Mystic Rank, making him the top expert. The others are not even as good as me."

After listening to Tang Tianyi's introduction, Ye Bufan felt much more at ease. He was now at the early stage of the Foundation Building, equivalent to the early stage of the Mystic Rank. However, his cultivation method was of a higher level, making him invincible at the same rank, and even capable of fighting a middle-stage Mystic Rank warrior.

Moreover, he had even higher cultivation in techniques, and if he used them, he could even kill a late-stage Mystic Rank warrior.

Thinking about this, he asked again, "What about the technique lineage? What is the situation there?"
