"Who did you hear that from?" Xia Qingyue asked with a cold brows, his heart was filled with shock. At the same level of profound strength, the lifespan of people from the Frozen Cloud Asgard s were much shorter than those from other sects. This was a cruel reality, and this was a secret even within the Frozen Cloud Asgard, and was always suppressed by the higher ups of the Frozen Cloud Asgard. As the level of the Frozen Cloud Asgard's profound strength was extremely high, the lifespans of the people in the immortal palace were also very long. As a result, this fact was not too obvious.
The reason why Xia Qingyue knew about it was because her master had absentmindedly revealed it to her after one of her breakthroughs. Furthermore, she told her that this was Frozen Cloud Asgard's biggest flaw and strictly ordered her not to tell anyone, including her Junior Sisters of Senior Sister. But now, Xiao Che was able to say it out loud.
"If I were the palace master of Frozen Cloud Asgard, I would definitely use every method at my disposal to suppress this kind of 'flaw', so as to not let others know about it. "Who do you think I heard that from?" Xiao Che curled his lips and said: "I really only obtained these conclusions from your pulse, that's all. Seeing your reaction, it seems like I got it all right. "
"I don't believe it!" Xia Qingyue resolutely shook his head. Using just a meridian, he was able to deduce the important secret that the Frozen Cloud Asgard had been hiding all along? Ridiculous! If it was really that simple, there would be countless Divine Doctor s and the secret of Frozen Cloud Asgard would have spread throughout Under Heaven countless years ago.
However, everything that Xiao Che had said just now had hit the nail on the head; This caused Xia Qingyue to be alarmed.
"I knew you wouldn't believe it." Xiao Che picked up the medicine pot and bag on the floor, walking into the room: "Follow me."
Xia Qingyue's gaze swept over the items held in his hands. After a moment of hesitation, she followed him into the room and closed the door behind her.
"Sit down." After placing down the medicinal pot and bag, Xiao Che ordered Xia Qingyue.
"What are you going to do?" Xia Qingyue looked at him with suspicion.
"Of course it's to treat you."
"No need." Xia Qingyue immediately shook his head.
"Do you need to? You better try to make a decision after that …" Hey! You're not even willing to try, are you? "
Xiao Che had already opened the package and took out a silver box. He sighed, and a look of disappointment and disappointment appeared on his face, "I know you don't believe everything I say. But at least, I don't have the ability or reason to harm you. I went to the infirmary to bring these things over early in the morning purely because I want to treat you. If it works, it's good. If it doesn't, you won't lose anything... Since you don't believe me and you don't want to give it a try, then forget about it.
Xiao Che's words startled Xia Qingyue, but following that, a hint of guilt emerged in his heart … Indeed, what he had said before, and what he was about to do, was to heal her, not to demand or demand anything from her, and as he himself had said, he had no reason or power to harm her at all. It would be too much to reject it directly, not to mention the result.
Xia Qingyue let out a quiet sigh in his heart, then sat down beside Xiao Che: "How are you going to treat me?"
"... "You're willing to treat me?" Xiao Che glanced at her, then snorted and turned his face away.
His attitude of a wronged child left Xia Qingyue at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and his voice relaxed: "I want to see how you'll treat me."
"En, that's more like it." When Xiao Che turned around again, his expression was already full of smiles. This caused Xia Qingyue to be slightly stunned... This fellow's speed of changing expressions was truly too fast!
"Hold out your hand."
Xiao Che sat in front of Xia Qingyue and Xia Qingyue also followed suit and extended both his arms, spreading them horizontally on the table. His loose red sleeves reached all the way to his elbows, revealing two pieces of her snow-white arms.
Xiao Che opened the silver box, and inside, there were shockingly dozens of thin and long needles.
"Silver needles …" Are you going to use acupuncture? " Xia Qingyue raised her crescent brows.
"Hmm? You actually know acupuncture? " Xiao Che looked at her with some surprise. When they were in Cang Yun Continental, there were less than ten people in the entire continent who knew how to use acupuncture, including him and his master, Medical Saint. However, in the Profound Sky Continent, this seemed to be one of the most popular medical techniques. Even the infirmary s could find a set of acupuncture tools.
"Of course. I also know that the requirements for proficiency in acupuncture and moxibustion are extremely high. It requires dozens of years to reach small success, only after dozens of years can one reach large success. I've never heard of you learning medical skills, let alone acupuncture. Besides, your room doesn't have any trace of Qi Huang. What are you trying to do? " Xia Qingyue's eyes were filled with suspicion and caution the entire time.
Xiao Che took out a silver needle, and lightly twisted his fingers at the bottom of the silver needle … And when Xiao Che picked up the silver needle, his expression was slightly absent-minded, because when the silver needle was in Xiao Che's hands, there was actually an indescribable sense of harmony, as if the silver needle was born in Xiao Che's hands. This feeling was very subtle and indescribable, yet it was real and distinct.
Xiao Che opened a small bottle and dipped a silver needle in it lightly. He said, "You'll soon know if I know how to use acupuncture. Of course, if you feel any discomfort, or if you feel like I'm making fun of you, you can stop me at any time. "
"What's in that bottle?" Xia Qingyue's gaze turned towards the small bottle.
"Ordinary Scarlet Sunflower juice." Xiao Che casually replied. His gaze landed on Xia Qingyue's snowy hand, and the left hand holding the silver needle flickered slightly.
Xiao Che's movements were extremely fast, so fast that Xia Qingyue did not even have time to react. And when Xiao Che withdrew his left hand, the silver needle between his fingers had already disappeared, and a silver needle had been inserted vertically into her right wrist … It accurately landed on the Yang Chi acupoint.
No pain, even no feeling. If she hadn't been looking at this silver needle, she wouldn't even have known that a silver needle had pierced her wrist. Xia Qingyue was moved... Fast? No, this was definitely not fast! He was skillful! He had reached an astonishing level of proficiency!
The second silver needle was already picked up by Xiao Che and dipped in the scarlet sunflower juice. As he neared Xia Qingyue's right hand, his wrist shook slightly and the second silver needle accurately pierced the Yang Gu acupuncture point. Then came the third and fourth, respectively, in Zhongzhu and Hegu.
After the right hand, another four silver needles pierced the left hand's Yang Chi, Yang Gu, Zhong Zhu, and He Gu four points. Each time, his movements were so quick that Xia Qingyue could only see a fleeting afterimage. The surprise in her heart also overlapped layer after layer as she pierced them with the silver needles.
She didn't know if Xiao Che's "treatment" would have any effect, but his technique, which was as skilled as a demon's, made Xia Qingyue unable to believe that it was actually performed by a sixteen year old boy.
"Relax your hands and breathe steadily. Don't use your profound strength."
Xiao Che's voice sounded beside her ears. She also cooperated with Xiao Che as she relaxed her arms and calmed her heart. It was at this moment that she suddenly felt ice-cold auras congealing in her left and right hands. Then, as if she had found an outlet to let loose, she quickly rushed towards the four points of Yang Chi, Yang Gu, Zhong Zhu, and He Gu that were pierced by the silver needles …
Immediately, wisps of white mist rose from each of the eight silver needles. The cold air within them caused the surrounding temperature to rapidly drop. Feeling the cold air flowing through his meridians and the white mist that was quickly escaping, Xia Qingyue's snowy face violently twitched.
The white fog rose for several minutes before it stopped completely. At this time, Xiao Che suddenly reached out his hands, and with a shake of both hands, his fingers moved like a mirage. In an instant, all eight of the silver needles that had been pierced into Xia Qingyue's hands had been returned into his and then placed in another box.
"This cold energy is even heavier than I imagined. Fortunately, you met me. " Xiao Che muttered in a low voice, then closed the silver needle box and casually asked: "Qingyue my wife, how do you feel with your hands now?"
Xia Qingyue raised his hands, as ripples appeared in his eyes. Relaxed, comfortable, warm. This was the feeling of her hands. It was as if he had suddenly been released from some sort of heavy restraint. This was the first time she had felt the warmth of her palms and arms since she had cultivated the Frozen Cloud Arts. She raised her eyes to look at Xiao Che, and said in surprise, "Just what is this?"
"Actually, it's very simple. I just released the cold energy in your hands and meridians, and then opened up the condensed meridians." Xiao Che said casually, "The profound arts of your Frozen Cloud Asgard s can make their profound aura become ice-cold, thus increasing their power greatly. The reason why the ice-cold profound aura is stronger is because the cold energy can hurt people … The enemy was a man, and he was also a man. Before harming others, he had to injure himself as well. This is a very simple truth. "
"This morning, touching your palm, I discovered that the temperature of your palm is far lower than the temperature of a normal person's palm. Maybe the people from your Frozen Cloud Asgard will naturally think that this is a normal phenomenon caused by cultivating the Frozen Cloud Arts, but from a medical point of view, it would be strange if such a temperature was normal! When one does not use their profound strength at normal times, profound strength contained within, would not affect one's own body. Once it was used, Frozen Cloud profound aura would link through the entire body, and when it was released, it would hurt others, but when it flowed, it would definitely harm himself! You have not cultivated the Frozen Cloud Art for many years, but a large amount of cold energy has already seeped into your organs, six viscera, blood, bone marrow, and dantian. Furthermore, the more it accumulates, the more it becomes. It's perfectly normal to have those negative reactions. "
Xia Qingyue: "..."
"In addition, due to the cold energy, many of the meridians in the body would also become blocked due to frequent spasms, which would have a considerable impact on the display of profound aura. You can try channeling your profound strength onto your hands now and see how it compares to before. " Xiao Che said with a serious expression.
Xiao Che's speech was very reasonable and final. There were reasons and consequences, and the logic was very easy to understand, even a fool could understand. Furthermore, with Xia Qingyue's effective response, there was no way to question or refute him.
But when Xiao Che spoke with a serious face, he actually bared his teeth in his heart … Because what he had said was indeed true, but at the same time, it was also true … It was also nonsense!
It was true that the cold energy had accumulated through his body, and it was also true that his meridians would be closed... But if the Frozen Cloud Arts was really as terrible as he said, then what was the Frozen Cloud Asgard doing! Let alone the peak of Blue Wind Continental, they probably wouldn't even make it past eight hundred years ago. When one's body completely adapts to the Frozen Cloud Arts after cultivating for a period of time, even though the cold energy in their body would still cause harm, it would not continue to harm their body. Instead, it would become a source of energy and their blocked meridians would naturally open up.
However, Xia Qingyue had only been cultivating the Frozen Cloud Arts for three or four years, so he naturally could not reach the "completely adapted" stage. With his words combined with her own personal feelings for all this time, and the feeling after "treatment", Xiao Che's explanation seemed to be completely flawless to her.
"Treatment" was just an excuse. The Frozen Cloud Art's "flaw" was also only an excuse. Only he knew what he wanted to do.
