Chapter 1917 I&##x27;ll Try

Apparently, Rocky and Vivian were headed to a hall in the tier-2 territory of the Wankong Clan.

Upon their arrival, Alex's attendants led them straight into the hall. As soon as they entered, Rocky and
Vivian found that a large crowd had already gathered inside—Richard, Alex, and several elders,
including some officials. Among them was a tall man at the premium stage of the Emperor Realm who
stood out from the crowd with his sharp eyes and strong aura. It was none other than Jeffrey, the
Spiritual Emperor that the young master had mentioned.

The Spiritual King that Rocky had injured was lying on a sickbed at the center of the hall.

Meanwhile, Rocky's appearance had caught everyone's attention. As they focused their eyes on him,
they began to whisper among themselves.

They were all aware that Rocky got admitted into their clan through his special spiritual root and the
likelihood that he was a chosen one. However, it was still open to question until he actually entered the
Ethereal Valley.

Although Rocky was just a newcomer, they could not fathom how he had the guts to injure Jeffrey's
nephew to such an extent. Hence, most of the people thought that the qualification for the Ethereal
Valley had made the young man needlessly arrogant. Now that Rocky had offended the Spiritual
Emperor, he was facing a huge trouble. In fact, if the patriarch and the young master had not stood up
for Rocky, Jeffrey might have already tried to kill him out of rage.

"So, are you the brat who put my nephew in this state?" The Spiritual Emperor could not help but glare
at Rocky as he asked angrily.

"Yes, that was my doing," Rocky quickly admitted with a shrug.



"How dare you do that to him without any remorse? It seems that you have no respect for me at all!"
Jeffrey fumed in anger upon hearing Rocky's nonchalant response. His formidable aura instantly
spread out, shrouding Rocky. It was obvious that he was trying to intimidate the young man.

As a Spiritual Emperor, Jeffrey didn't even need to lift a finger if he really intended to hurt a mere
Spiritual King.

In fact, any ordinary Spiritual King would have been frightened to death if they encountered Jeffrey's
overbearing momentum. It would immediately make them tremble and even kneel on the ground. But to
everyone's surprise, Rocky did not even show any reaction. Of course, this made everyone present,
especially Jeffrey, surprised and confused at the same time.

Jeffrey's lips curled and his eyes narrowed in disappointment. He was actually in total disbelief that his
aura had no impact on Rocky at all.

"Sir, you are mistaken. I hadn't even heard about you until yesterday. There's no way that I would mean
any disrespect to you," Rocky replied with a subtle hint of haughtiness in his tone.

Blue veins almost popped out on Jeffrey's forehead as he discerned what Rocky actually meant. He
clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, strongly wishing that he could punch Rocky's impertinent mouth
and beat him to death.

At the same time, when the people in the hall heard how Rocky blatantly dared to offend Jeffrey, they
could not help but feel worried about the life of the young man.

"Spiritual Emperor Jeffrey, please calm down. Rookie is merely stating a fact. He has just joined our
clan and still doesn't know much about our rules. Please forgive him!" Alex hurriedly butted in, knowing
that Rocky might end up getting hurt if nothing was done in this situation.



"Fine! I will spare him for your sake. However, if he fails to cure my nephew just like he promised, then
I'll make sure that he will suffer the same fate as Ryan!" Jeffrey shouted coldly, shooting a furious glare
at Rocky. Afterwards, he turned around and walked away.

"Rookie, are you sure you can heal Ryan's injuries? You must have already heard that even the brilliant
masters of our clan cannot do anything for him," Richard asked with clear anxiousness in his voice. He
couldn't believe it when he heard that Rocky had promised to cure Ryan, who had been severely
injured. But since Rocky seriously promised to do it, he thought that he should at least give the young
man a chance to prove himself.

He personally appeared to witness if Rocky really had the ability to do this seemingly impossible thing.
On the other hand, if Rocky failed to cure Ryan, Richard knew that Jeffrey would lose himself. In that
case, as the patriarch, he should be ready to mediate this kind of dispute.

Besides, Rocky had now become an extremely important figure for the Wankong Clan. Richard knew
that they could not afford losing him.

"Well, all I can do is try." Rocky did not give any assurance. After all, even though he had the ability to
cure Ryan, he thought that it would be too suspicious if he seemed to be too confident about it.

"This is madness! How can this guy cure my nephew? Our clan had always been known to be the best
in terms of medical skills in the entire spiritual race, but none of us was able to make my nephew's
meridians recover! How on earth would he do it, then? I think he's just wasting our time!" Jeffrey
exclaimed. It was very apparent that he did not trust Rocky's ability to heal the injuries that his nephew
had suffered.

At the same time, the people present also began discussing among themselves. Most of them shook
their heads and also agreed that it was an impossible task for Rocky.



"Spiritual Emperor Jeffrey, just let him have a try. We don't have nothing to lose," Alex said, trying her
best to appease Jeffrey.

Under the watchful gazes of the crowd, Rocky finally walked up to the bed where Ryan was lying.
Then, he cast his eyes on the Spiritual King, who was still unconscious.

"Rookie, can I help you with anything?" Alex offered kindly, thinking that Rocky might need something
while performing the procedure.

"No, thanks. You can just relax and watch on the sidelines. I will just inform you ahead that curing his
damaged meridians will take several hours. Moreover, they may not be as strong as before, but rest
assured that it won't affect his cultivation in the future," Rocky stated calmly.

Upon hearing what Rocky just said, the whole room was thrown into an uproar. Of course, everyone
instantly thought that Rocky was overly exaggerating. After all, even the elders in their clan with superb
medical skills were not able to do anything to heal Ryan's damaged meridians. However, Rocky spoke
with a straight face when he said that he could accomplish it within hours. Obviously, everyone was
doubtful about it.

They simply scoffed, thinking that Rocky would just end up embarrassing himself for openly declaring
such bold words.

However, when Alex saw that there was no hint of wavering in Rocky's eyes, she said nothing more
and just waited for what he would do next.

After a while, Rocky slowly helped the Spiritual King to sit on the bed. Then, he sent a stream of
spiritual power into his injured body. This way, he could analyze the parts where the damaged
meridians were and also determine the severity of the injuries.



When the initial examination was done, Rocky got a rough idea of what he needed to do.

At this point, he perceived that the best way to treat Ryan's damaged meridians was through the Skill
of Magic Needle. However, Rocky had not employed this skill in a while, so he was quite unsure if he
could still perform it very accurately. Nonetheless, his only intention was to repair the damaged
meridians just like he promised. He never said that he could bring them back to the way they were
before.

Soon enough, Rocky took out the black needles that Esteban had given him before. He picked the
longest one and made some preparations for the procedure.

But when the people saw that Rocky was about to repair Ryan's meridians using needles, they quickly
looked at each other with baffled expressions on their faces. For them, it was common knowledge that
acupuncture could only promote blood circulation and remove stasis. They never heard that it could
also be used to repair damaged meridians.

"Wait a minute!" Jeffrey suddenly shouted before the needle in Rocky's hand could touch his nephew's
body.

Upon hearing Jeffrey's voice, Rocky halted and turned to the Spiritual Emperor.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Jeffrey asked with his eyes wide open.

"Treating him. What else?"

"You are going to repair his meridians using acupuncture?" At this point, more distrust was showing in
Jeffrey's eyes.

"Yes. I analyzed his injuries, and this is the most effective way to treat him," Rocky explained.



"What? Are you crazy? How can you even repair one's meridians with acupuncture? Do you think this
is some kind of a joke?" Although Jeffrey was not very proficient in terms of medical skills, he at least
had some common knowledge regarding it.

"This is how I do it. Now, it is up to you to trust me or not. However, if you are planning to stop me, don't
blame me for not saving him later," Rocky said in a cold and flat tone.
