Hearing Xiao Che's words, Xia Qingyue tried to focus his profound strength into his hands. Immediately, her heart trembled again, because when her hands gathered, the profound strength was much smoother than before, and the speed was also exactly twenty to thirty percent faster.
Seeing Xia Qingyue's reaction, Xiao Che nodded in satisfaction: "Did you feel that it became smoother and quicker? If you draw out the cold energy from your entire body and open your meridians, your body's temperature will be no different from a normal person's when you don't use the Frozen Cloud Arts. All negative reactions will not occur again, and the speed at which you use your profound strength will increase by nearly half. Moreover, from today onwards, the speed at which you cultivate the Frozen Cloud Arts will also increase by at least thirty percent! "Oh, I'm just saying it casually. You can just listen and do whatever you want. It's not like you're going to let me do it."
As Xiao Che spoke, he began to pack up the things he had brought from the infirmary.
"You just said … the speed at which you cultivate the Frozen Cloud Arts will increase by thirty percent? " Xia Qingyue suddenly turned his head. Xiao Che's words completely shocked her. She was so shocked that she wanted to believe them, but was unable to.
A pellet that could increase a person's rate of progress by ten to twenty percent in a year or two was a rare treasure that no one would question. And the meaning behind Xiao Che's words … It was a permanent increase of 30%!
What he had just said was more than shocking! If there was something, or some condition, that allowed a person's cultivation speed to permanently increase by thirty percent, Xia Qingyue had no doubt that Under Heaven's heroes would all flock out to snatch it with all their might.
"Yeah." Xiao Che nodded: "It's up to you to believe it or not."
On the contrary, Xiao Che's "believe it or not" made him believe it even more. Adding to the fact that he had personally experienced the feeling of being treated by Xiao Che, she was no longer able to question much when faced with the shocking words that he had casually said. This feeling surprised even herself. The enormous Frozen Cloud Asgard was a thousand years old and had never heard of the existence of such an astonishing effect. Amongst this tiny little Cloud Flowing City, a youth of only sixteen with crippled profound veins was actually able to say it with such certainty … She even started to believe it uncontrollably.
"If it's really as you say … Why do you say I don't agree with you? " Xia Qingyue said.
"About this..." The corner of Xiao Che's mouth slanted, and said seriously: "It's very simple. To disperse the cold energy throughout his body and his frozen meridians, he had to use needles on his body. Since he was using needles on his body, of course he had to take off his clothes. At the very least, he had to expose his entire back to me … "If you don't even want to touch my hand, would you be willing to take off your clothes in front of me?"
Xia Qingyue: "..."
"Alright, I've used the silver needles. It's time for me to return it to the infirmary." Xiao Che smiled at Xia Qingyue: "No need to thank me. After all, you are my wife. You ran over to bring me a blanket in the middle of the night, so it's only right that I do something for you. "
Looking at the back of Xiao Che who was packing up his things, Xia Qingyue's expression fluctuated for a while, before finally taking the initiative to speak up: "I have always known about the cold energy in my body. I also know that the early stages of the Frozen Cloud Art will condense a part of the meridians. If dispersing the cold energy and clearing the meridians could indeed relieve the body's discomfort, and would also definitely be of help in using the profound strength … But what does this have to do with increasing the speed at which I cultivate profound strength? "
"This involves very complicated medical knowledge. Hmm, very complicated, so I don't really want to say it. Furthermore, even if I did say it, you wouldn't be able to understand it." Xiao Che said vaguely. His forehead almost broke out in cold sweat... He had originally thought that his words and acupuncture would successfully intimidate Xia Qingyue, but he didn't expect that she would still ask the question with a heart full of doubt. Because the increase in cultivation speed had nothing to do with cold energy or meridians.
Fortunately, Xia Qingyue did not pursue the matter any further. Just as he tied up the bundle again, Xia Qingyue spoke again, "Where did you learn all these things? With your acupuncture techniques, you are completely qualified to join those huge medical schools! If you really have those abilities that you mentioned before, then not to mention this small Cloud Flowing City, the entire Blue Wind Continental would know of your name. Why would you remain so obscure and unknown, to the point where you would only have the name of a cripple? "
Join those medical schools? Xiao Che curled his lips in great disdain, then turned around and calmly asked: "These, were all taught to me by my master?"
"Your... Master? " Xia Qingyue's crescent brows slightly moved, she had never heard of Xiao Che having any kind of master.
"My master is a great doctor. He has spent his entire life helping the dead and healing the wounded. I met him when I was very young. He taught me how to listen and listen, how to pry with needles and fingers, how to understand medicine and poison, as well as how to read all of Under Heaven's poisons and bugs. I am his only successor. The debt of gratitude I owe to him is as heavy as a mountain and will be difficult to repay for the rest of my life …] Yet, not too long ago, he left me, leaving me with no way to track him down … This is why I know some medical skills. As for the other things, you don't need to ask. I don't want to talk too much about Master. Furthermore, not to mention outsiders, even my grandfather and Little Aunt do not know about my medical skills. Besides myself, you are the only one who knows about it. "
As he thought about his deceased master, Xiao Che's face uncontrollably revealed his sadness and reminiscence. This was his truest emotion, without a shred of falsehood or pretence. This truthfulness, also caused Xia Qingyue to be infected. With complete trust in Xiao Che's words, he gently said: "To be able to let you possess such shocking proficiency in acupuncture at such a young age, it seems that your master is definitely a great doctor."
"He's the world's greatest doctor in the realm, no other!" Xiao Che said with incomparable determination.
Xiao Che's appearance caused the doubt in Xia Qingyue's heart to unconsciously lessen by a bit. After hesitating for a while, she made up her mind, "... Then, are you sure that what you said will permanently increase my cultivation speed by thirty percent? Is that true? "
"Since I said it out loud, I won't disgrace my master's medical name. Hm? You can't be. You want to try, right? " Xiao Che turned and looked at her with a face full of astonishment.
Xia Qingyue let out a small sigh of relief, glancing over: "Are you sure you only need to see the back?"
Xiao Che's eyes lit up, his face leaned forward, and smiled: "If you really want to show everything, that's fine too … …"
Xia Qingyue's brows wrinkled, and she swung her red sleeves. Suddenly, a gust of cold wind rolled up, causing Xiao Che's entire body to shiver. She walked to the bedside and said faintly, "Let's begin. Let me see if your medical skills are as miraculous as you say …" However, if you dare to have any other thoughts, I will definitely not let you off. "
"You can kill me with a single slap. Even if I wanted to, I wouldn't dare to do it." Xiao Che laughed slyly.
The box of silver needles and jar of crimson sunflower juice that had just been put away were once again brought out, and after that, he walked to the side of the bed and said to Xia Qingyue who was already sitting on it with a serious expression: "Take off your clothes!"
It was a very pure word, but Xiao Che had already shouted it out the feeling of a tyrant forcing a good woman.
One could well imagine the reaction that the usually pure and pure Xia Qingyue had inside when she heard these three words … However, the temptation of permanently increasing one's cultivation speed by thirty percent was simply too great. So much that it could be said that no Profound Practitioners would be able to resist! Because if it really succeeds, it would mean that they would have the same talent and comprehension, the same profound arts and the same environment and resources, and the progress made in cultivating for three years would be equivalent to the opponent's four years of cultivation! In a hundred years, it would surpass the opponent's thirty years of progress!
Xiao Che was certain that even if Xia Qingyue wanted to strip, he would not choose to refuse. It was because Xia Qingyue was obviously a girl who pursued higher profound strength. Otherwise, she wouldn't have unhesitantly joined the Frozen Cloud Asgard, disregarding the consequences of her desire.
If what he said was true, then this kind of price was completely worth it … Moreover, it was only exposing his back. Xia Qingyue thought like this as she faced Xiao Che and turned her back. Her chest moved gently, her heart was already as calm as a mirror, she closed her eyes and untied the buttons on her clothes, causing the bright red clothes to slowly slip down her shoulders. Immediately, the dazzling white beauty's jade back was revealed before Xiao Che's eyes.
She pulled the quilt over her chest. The red dress that slid down covered her voluptuous butt and exposed the curves of her back. She was truly thin to the point where her bones could not be seen. The skin on her shoulders were so tender, as though it was moisturized. Xiao Che stared blankly for a while.
"Begin immediately! No other thoughts are allowed! " Xia Qingyue closed his eyes, and said coldly.
"Isn't a woman's body meant for her husband to see?" Xiao Che carefully muttered to himself, then closed his mouth and picked up the silver needles. The moment the needles were in his hands, his expression became grave.
Sensing that Xiao Che's breathing had already stabilized, Xia Qingyue, who was just about to speak, closed his eyes slightly. Even though she still found it a little hard to believe that what Xiao Che said was true … However, the temptation of increasing one's cultivation speed by thirty percent was something that no one would be able to resist, even if there was a slight possibility.
The wind rustled, and following the shake of Xiao Che's wrist, a silver needle had already lightly pierced into the Sky Sect on Xia Qingyue's back.
Xiao Che began to move his fingers as if they were flying, the silver needles were picked up by him one by one, rapidly and accurately piercing Xia Qingyue's back.
Xia Qingyue's eyes were closed, her attention completely focused on the back. She had begun to feel that every single silver needle being pierced was accompanied by a trace of profound aura. This discovery immediately stirred the inside of Xia Qingyue's heart …
She was very clear about the condition of Xiao Che's body. With his crippled profound veins, he could only rest at the first level of the Elementary Profound Realm. He could only use the most basic, most minute profound aura. And with every needle stabbed in the back, even though the profound aura was insignificant, to her, who was at the first level of the Elementary Profound Realm, it was practically the limit of strength!
She did not know why Xiao Che had to place profound strength in the silver needles. However, this clearly meant that every needle that he thrust out was using all his strength.
Due to the fact that she completed the eight needles earlier too quickly, her attention was also focused on Xiao Che's technique, so she had not noticed anything. When she realized it now, she couldn't calm her heart for a moment.
At this time, there were twenty-three needles stabbed into her back, causing Xiao Che's speed to visibly slow down. If Xia Qingyue looked back at this moment, he would see that his face was slightly red and his forehead was covered in sweat.
