The memories of all humanity are awakening, except for mine.

The next day, the dawn broke.

Jiang Chuan and Duo Duofei packed their bags and set off for the Qingyun Sect.

Duoduofei saved Jiang Chuan's life, and Jiang Chuan decided to help her move into this mysterious and powerful sect.

The two chatted and laughed along the way, and before they knew it, half a day's journey had passed.

Finally, Jiang Chuan arrived at the registration office of Qingyun Sect.

The place was bustling with people, and disciples from various sects moved about, making it exceptionally prosperous.

The clerk at the registration desk greeted Jiang Chuan and Duo Duofei warmly: "Welcome to Qingyun Sect, you two have come from afar. There are too many people moving to Qingyun Sect recently. If you want to move here, you need to solve a tricky problem for the sect leader."

Jiang Chuan asked in confusion, "What problem?"

The junior employee smiled mysteriously and said, "This matter cannot be discussed openly; I need to take you there to see it."

Jiang Chuan agreed without hesitation.

He followed the junior employee through the bustling crowd to where Qing Yinyan lived.

The scenery here is beautiful, with birds singing and flowers blooming, like a fairyland on earth.

Surrounded by green mountains and clear waters, with ancient trees reaching for the sky, a clear stream flows gently by, its waters reflecting the blue sky and white clouds, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene.

The surroundings were quiet, with only the occasional chirping of birds and insects, which was very pleasant.

Far from the hustle and bustle of the city, this place is an excellent spot for quiet contemplation.

The junior employee led Jiang Chuan to Qing Yinyan's residence, where they saw a woman dressed in a blue and red silk robe, with an incredibly fair and delicate face, as smooth as cream, seemingly about to drip water, with bright, expressive eyes and long, slender eyebrows.

"Sect Master, the person you requested has arrived." The junior employee walked up to Qing Yinyan and bowed.

Qing Yinyan waved his hand, signaling him to leave, and then he bowed slightly and slowly retreated.

"How dare you! Why don't you kneel before me?" Qing Yinyan looked at Jiang Chuan, who was in disguise, and said sternly.

“I bow to heaven and earth first, and to my parents second, but I have never knelt before you,” Jiang Chuan said.

As soon as he finished speaking, a hint of surprise flashed in Qing Yinyan's eyes, but he quickly regained his indifference.

She sneered and said, "That's because you've never truly understood my identity and status. Whether I kneel or not in the Qingyun Sect is not up to you."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chuan sat down to the side. He had never submitted to anyone of the same level before, and said, "I came here to solve your problem, not to discuss whether or not to kneel."

After listening, Qing Yinyan nodded. It was indeed true. Jiang Chuan gave her a sense of familiarity, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

"Then come in with me."

Qing Yinyan led Jiang Chuan into the house, which was decorated in a simple yet elegant style.

The bookshelves were piled high with various scriptures and scrolls, clearly indicating that it was the residence of a cultivator.

She walked to the door and gestured for Duoduofei to wait outside so as not to disturb their important business.

Stepping inside, Qing Yinyan gently removed her shoes, revealing a pair of snow-white and delicate feet.

Jiang Chuan was slightly taken aback, not expecting that the sect leader would demonstrate his footwork at this moment.

This made him feel somewhat embarrassed.

"Sect Master, could you please stop with this and get down to business?"

Jiang Chuan couldn't help but speak, his tone tinged with a hint of speechlessness.

"What? Is this the important matter?" Qing Yinyan pointed to her jade-like feet, a playful smile on her face, and continued, "I recently defeated the Barefoot Immortal and accidentally caught athlete's foot. Are you confident you can cure it?"

Jiang Chuan fell into deep thought, completely unprepared for Qing Yinyan to ask such a question.

Athlete's foot may seem like a minor problem to ordinary people, but to cultivators, any small problem can affect their cultivation progress and physical health.

As the goddess of Qing City, Qing Yinyan's virtue and physique are beyond reproach.

"Well... athlete's foot, I do know a thing or two about it."

Jiang Chuan hesitated for a moment under Qing Yinyan's expectant gaze.

Knowing that he is not a doctor specializing in treating athlete's foot, but as a practitioner with extraordinary medical skills.

They have a profound understanding of human anatomy and the principles behind various diseases.

This gave him a sliver of hope that he could treat such a minor ailment as athlete's foot.

Jiang Chuan took a deep breath and decided to tell Qing Yinyan everything he knew.

"Sect Master, although athlete's foot may seem like a minor ailment, it is actually caused by the stagnation of damp heat in the body. To treat athlete's foot, we must first start by regulating the body's internal systems."

Qing Yinyan gestured for Jiang Chuan to continue, her eyes filled with anticipation.

After all, she had been troubled by athlete's foot for a long time and had not found an effective solution.

Every word Jiang Chuan said gave her a glimmer of hope.

But at the same time, it was accompanied by a sense of unease.

After all, she was a cultivator of noble status, the goddess of Qing City, and her body and reputation were of utmost importance to her.

"So I decided to give the sect leader acupuncture to help clear the athlete's foot from the body."

Jiang Chuan explained his treatment plan.

Qing Yinyan looked at Jiang Chuan with a questioning gaze, her face revealing distrust.

The last person to make such a request is dead; it was a tragedy.

Acupuncture requires her to undress and then let the practitioner see her body.

This was a terrifying thing for Qing Yinyan.

She is a goddess, her status is undeniable, and such a request is unacceptable to her.

"Do you know what the consequences will be if your method doesn't work?"

Qing Yinyan's voice was cold and sharp, with a murderous intent rising quietly. His tone revealed an unquestionable authority, as if warning Jiang Chuan that if he could not guarantee the success of the treatment, he might face serious consequences.

Jiang Chuan felt Qing Yinyan's pressure, but he did not back down. He thought to himself that if it weren't for Duo Duofei's kindness, he would not have done such a thing even if he knelt down and begged him.

He said firmly, “Sect Master, although I am young, I have never made a misdiagnosis in medicine. Acupuncture is only an auxiliary method. The real key is to harmonize the damp heat in the body. I guarantee that as long as you cooperate, Sect Master, you will be able to cure athlete’s foot.”

Qing Yinyan remained silent for a moment, knowing that Jiang Chuan's words were not entirely unreasonable, but the risks of acupuncture did exist.

She knew all too well that she had been suffering from athlete's foot for far too long.

If there really is a way to cure it, I'm willing to take the risk and try it.

Finally, she nodded and agreed to Jiang Chuan's treatment plan.

Qing Yinyan's nod, though only a slight movement, was seen by Jiang Chuan as a sign of relief.

“Then, Sect Master, please prepare yourself. I will perform acupuncture treatment on you,” Jiang Chuan said.

Qing Yinyan slowly stood up, walked into the inner room, and took out an exquisite white dress.

This is something she rarely wears on a regular basis because its loose and comfortable fit is more suitable for activities during acupuncture.

Seeing this, Jiang Chuan secretly felt uneasy, not expecting her to have a backup plan.

He followed Qing Yinyan into the inner room to prepare the tools she needed for acupuncture. The acupuncture room was simply furnished, with a soft cotton pad on a large bamboo mat, and various herbs and acupuncture needles placed around it.

Qing Yinyan sat on the bamboo mat, and Jiang Chuan began to examine her feet, looking for the most suitable acupuncture points.

His fingers gently slid across Qing Yinyan's soles, searching for acupoints that could clear the damp heat from her body.

"Sect Master, please relax. I will be careful when applying the acupuncture needles." Jiang Chuan said as he began to disinfect the silver needles, preparing to begin the acupuncture.

Qing Yinyan closed her eyes and tried to relax her body. She knew that the process might be a little painful, but she trusted Jiang Chuan's professional skills and understood that this was a necessary step in curing athlete's foot.

Jiang Chuan gently inserted the silver needle into the acupoint, each insertion accompanied by Qing Yinyan's soft inhalation.

The acupuncture process was not easy, but Jiang Chuan's skills and experience made the whole process as smooth as possible.

As time went by, Qing Yinyan's pace began to change.

The initial hot and humid symptoms of athlete's foot gradually lessened, her soles began to dry out, and the discomfort slowly disappeared.

"Sect Master, how are you feeling?" Jiang Chuan asked.

Qing Yinyan opened her eyes, a satisfied smile on her face: "I feel much better. Your acupuncture technique is truly superb. I never expected you to be so skilled in bed."

As soon as she spoke, she realized her words were inappropriate. This wasn't a compliment to a doctor's skills; it touched on a personal matter, which made her cheeks flush slightly.

"It's acupuncture in bed," Qing Yinyan quickly corrected, her voice tinged with embarrassment but also with a hint of jest.

Jiang Chuan simply smiled and didn't refute her, finding her reaction quite adorable.

"Sect Master, bear with it, you're about to suffer," Jiang Chuan said.

The silver needle in his hand drew an arc in the air, and then the silver needle, formed from his breath, darted into Qing Yinyan's foot and disappeared.

The silver needle moved through her body like a tiny snake, leaving fine marks on Qing Yinyan's soles.

As soon as the silver needles were inserted into her body, Qing Yinyan immediately felt a stinging pain.

It was a pain that went deep into her bones, as if countless tiny needles were constantly pricking her, making her involuntarily furrow her brow slightly.

Seeing this, Jiang Chuan encouraged him, "As the sect leader of Qingyun Sect, you can't even withstand this little bit of pain?"

Sure enough, the words worked.

Qing Yinyan's gaze toward Jiang Chuan changed; it was no longer a simple matter of looking at a person.

Instead, I admire Jiang Chuan's courage.

In all her life, she had never encountered anyone who dared to evaluate her so directly, especially not at such close range.

"Sect Master, relax and take a deep breath."

After Jiang Chuan finished speaking, his voice seemed to have a magical power, causing Qing Yinyan to gradually relax her tense body.

As Jiang Chuan performed acupuncture, Qing Yinyan's soles gradually warmed up, and the tingling sensation slowly subsided.

She began to feel a warm current flowing through her body, a feeling that was both unfamiliar and comfortable.

"Sect Master, how are you feeling now?" Jiang Chuan asked again.

Qing Yinyan's face had lost its earlier embarrassment, and he said, "You are young and your acupuncture skills are superb. Why don't you join the Qingyun Sect? Our sect needs talented young talents like you."

"Hmph..." Jiang Chuan snorted coldly, "What do you take me for?"

"Ok?"

Qing Yinyan's beautiful eyes suddenly widened considerably. Jiang Chuan?

These two words were more serious than her athlete's foot. She asked in confusion, "Jiang Chuan?"

Jiang Chuan realized he was about to be exposed and needed to be careful, so he quickly tried to smooth things over and make his tone sound as relaxed as possible.

"What Jiang Chuan? It's just stiffness that needs to be penetrated." After saying that, Jiang Chuan increased the circulation of the silver needles in Qing Yinyan's body.

"Your medical skills are indeed extraordinary. If others had the opportunity to join the Qingyun Sect, they would be overjoyed, so you don't need to be too modest." Qing Yinyan stared intently at Jiang Chuan, as if trying to see through his appearance to the light deep within his heart.

Jiang Chuan humbly replied, "Sect Master, you flatter me. I am just an ordinary physician. It is already a great honor to have the opportunity to treat you. As for joining the sect, I would rather maintain my independence and remain unfettered."

His words revealed a detached and indifferent attitude towards worldly affairs, as if his philosophy of life was to pursue inner freedom.

Qing Yinyan remained silent, understanding Jiang Chuan's thoughts.

Although the Qingyun Sect is powerful, it also means more responsibility and pressure.

The affairs within a sect are numerous and complex, requiring the handling of intricate interpersonal relationships.

This is undoubtedly a burden for someone who pursues a simple life.

Jiang Chuan's indifference to fame and fortune made her admire him even more.

In this city where fame and fortune reign supreme, it is truly rare to be able to maintain a calm and ordinary mindset.

"Okay, I respect your choice."

Qing Yinyan thought for a moment, then continued, "You cured my athlete's foot, so I owe you a favor. What's your name? If you ever need my help in the future, I'll do my best."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chuan knew that she was not the kind of person who made promises easily.

"My name is Chuanjiang."

Jiang Chuan's answer was simple and direct, without a trace of extra emotion, as if the name was just an ordinary code to him, without revealing his original name.

Upon hearing this, Qing Yinyan had already memorized the name.

This name will become an important mark in her memory.

A moment just as important as her athlete's foot healing.

After the acupuncture session, Qing Yinyan got up from the bed and stood on the ground, feeling her body no longer troubled by athlete's foot.

Those were the same unsteady steps that were once caused by athlete's foot.

At this moment, it appears steady and powerful.

She gently kicked her feet, enjoying the comfort beneath them, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

Jiang Chuan stood opposite her, scrutinizing Qing Yinyan.

It's only been a few days since I last saw him, how did Qing Yinyan's strength break through to the mid-stage of the Heavenly Rank? I feel an urge to curse.

He remembered that Qing Yinyan's previous strength was at the early stage of the Heaven Rank.

Although it was already quite remarkable, he broke through to the mid-stage of the Heavenly Rank in just a few days.

This speed was far beyond his expectations. He had originally planned to have a good fight with him using his early-stage Heaven Rank strength, but now his plans were about to fall through.

"Sect Master, your strength has improved truly astonishingly," Jiang Chuan couldn't help but say.

Qing Yinyan's beautiful eyes sparkled with pride: "Thank you for your concern, Chuanjiang. During this time, I was in seclusion cultivating and comprehended some of the true essence of martial arts. With the help of your acupuncture, I naturally made some breakthroughs."

Qing Yinyan developed a favorable impression of Jiang Chuan's disguised appearance and actions.

"Take this." Qing Yinyan handed the Qingyun Token of the Qingyun Sect to Jiang Chuan. "With this, you can move freely within the Qingyun Sect. Seeing this token is like seeing the real person."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chuan quickly took it and said, "That's great!" (End of Chapter)
