Volume 1 The Beauty of Misfortune Chapter 18 Silver Needle Releases Coldness

"Who did you listen to?" Xia Qingyue asked with a cold eyebrow, feeling shocked in her heart. With the same profound strength, the life span of people in Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace is much shorter than that of people from other sects. This is a cruel fact, and this is a secret even in Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace. It has always been kept secret by the people of Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace. The higher-ups are suppressing it. And because the level of profound energy in Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace is extremely high, the overall life span of the people in the Immortal Palace is also very long, so this fact is not too obvious.

The reason why Xia Qingyue knew about it was that her master told her in a daze after one of her breakthroughs, and told her that this was the biggest flaw in the Bingyun Jue, and strictly ordered her not to tell anyone, including her senior sisters. But now, Xiao Che said it outright.

"If I were the Palace Master of Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace, I would definitely use all possible means to suppress this 'flaw' and prevent outsiders from knowing about it. Who do you think I could hear about it from?" Xiao Che curled his lips and said, "I I really just came to these conclusions based on your pulse, that's all. Judging from your reaction, I seem to be right."

"I don't believe it!" Xia Qingyue shook her head decisively. Can one deduce the major secret that Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace has been hiding from just one pulse? Absolutely ridiculous! If it was really that simple, there would be countless miracle doctors in the Blue Wind Empire, and this secret of Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace should have spread throughout the world an unknown number of years ago.

But everything Xiao Che said just now hit the point without any deviation. This made Xia Qingyue unable to help but feel suspicious.

"I know you don't believe it." Xiao Che picked up the medicine pot and package on the ground and walked to the room: "Follow me."

Xia Qingyue's eyes lingered on the things he was carrying. After a slight hesitation, she followed him into the room and closed the door.

"Sit down." After placing the medicine pot and package, Xiao Che said to Xia Qingyue in a commanding tone.

"What are you going to do?" Xia Qingyue looked at him with confusion.

"Of course I'm going to take care of it for you."

"No need." Xia Qingyue shook her head directly.

"Whether it is necessary or not, you'd better try it before drawing any conclusions... Hey! You're not even willing to give it a try, are you?"

Xiao Che had already opened the package and took out a silver box. He sighed, with a little loss and disappointment on his face: "I know you don't believe what I say. But at least, I have no ability to harm you, and I have no reason to harm you. I went to the pharmacy early in the morning to get it I came here simply to help you with some conditioning. If it works, it's good. If it doesn't work, you won't lose anything... Since you don't believe it and don't want to try it, forget it. , I just think I’m being sentimental.”

Xiao Che's words made Xia Qingyue startled, and then she felt a sense of guilt in her heart... Indeed, what he said before and what he was about to do was to heal her, not to ask her for anything or make any demands. As he said himself, he had no reason or ability to harm her... Not to mention what the consequences would be, it was really too much to refuse directly.

Xia Qingyue sighed quietly in her heart and sat down next to Xiao Che: "How do you want to take care of it?"

"...Are you willing to take care of yourself?" Xiao Che glanced at her, then hummed softly and turned his face away.

His child's angry attitude made Xia Qingyue dumbfounded for a moment, and her voice softened: "I want to see how you can handle it."

"Well, you are so good." When Xiao Che turned his face again, he had a smiling expression. Xia Qingyue was slightly startled when she saw it... This guy's face changing speed was really too fast!

"Hand out."

Xiao Che sat in front of Xia Qingyue, and Xia Qingyue stretched out her arms as instructed and spread them across the table. Her loose red sleeves were pulled up to her elbows, revealing two jade arms that were like snow and snow.

Xiao Che opened the silver box, and inside, there were dozens of slender and silky silver needles.

"Silver needle... Do you want to use acupuncture?" Xia Qingyue raised her crescent eyebrows slightly.

"Huh? You actually know about acupuncture?" Xiao Che glanced at her in surprise. Back in Cangyun Continent, there were less than ten people in the entire continent who knew how to practice acupuncture, including him and his master, the Medical Sage. However, in Tianxuan Continent, this seems to be a medical skill that has become quite popular. You can find a set of acupuncture equipment in Xiao Clan’s pharmacy.

"Of course I do. I also know that the art of acupuncture requires extremely high proficiency. It takes more than ten years to achieve a small success, and it takes several decades to achieve a great success. I have never heard that you have studied medical skills, let alone Acupuncture. Moreover, there is no smell or trace of Qihuang in your room. What on earth are you going to do?" Xia Qingyue's eyes were full of doubts and wariness.

Xiao Che took out a silver needle and lightly twisted the bottom of the silver needle with both fingers... And when Xiao Che picked up the silver needle, Xia Qingyue's eyes were slightly dazed because the silver needle was in Xiao Che's hand. , there was an indescribable sense of harmony, as if this silver needle was born to grow on Xiao Che's hand. This feeling is very subtle, indescribable, yet real and clear.

Xiao Che opened a small bottle, dipped a silver needle in it, and said, "You will know soon whether I can do acupuncture. Of course, if you feel any discomfort, or feel that I am touching you, Just kidding, you can cut me off anytime."

"What's in that bottle?" Xia Qingyue turned her eyes to the small medicine bottle.

"Ordinary red sunflower juice." Xiao Che replied casually, his eyes falling on Xia Qingyue's snowy hand, and the left hand holding the silver needle shook slightly.

Xiao Che's action was so fast that Xia Qingyue didn't react in time. When Xiao Che retracted his left hand, the silver needle between his fingers had disappeared, and a silver needle had been inserted vertically into her right wrist...precisely landing on the Yangchi acupoint.

There was no pain, or even no feeling. If she hadn't watched the silver needle with her own eyes, she wouldn't even know that a silver needle had pierced her wrist. Xia Qingyue was moved...fast? No, it was definitely not fast! But skillful! A skill that reached an astonishing level, which could be called the ultimate!

The second silver needle had been picked up by Xiao Che, dipped in a little red sun flower juice, and brought close to Xia Qingyue's right hand. With a slight shake of his wrist, the second silver needle had been accurately pierced into the Yanggu acupoint. Then came the third and fourth needles, which were pierced into Zhongzhu and Hegu respectively.

After the right hand, four more silver needles were inserted into the Yangchi, Yanggu, Zhongzhu and Hegu acupoints of the left hand in turn. Each time the needles were inserted, the movement was so fast that Xia Qingyue could only see a passing shadow. The surprise in her heart also overlapped with the waves of silver needles inserted.

She didn't know whether Xiao Che's "conditioning" would have any effect, but his skillful and demonic technique made Xia Qingyue unable to believe that it was actually performed by a sixteen-year-old boy.

"Relax your hands, breathe steadily, and never use your profound power."

Xiao Che's voice sounded in her ears. She also cooperated with Xiao Che, relaxed her arms and calmed down. At this moment, she suddenly felt the cold breath condensed in her left and right hands, and then as if finding an outlet for venting, it quickly rushed to the Yangchi, Yanggu, Zhongzhu, and Hegu acupoints pierced by the silver needles...

Suddenly, wisps of slowly passing white mist rose above the eight silver needles, and the cold air contained in them made the temperature around them drop rapidly. Feeling the cold air running through her meridians and the white mist escaping quickly, Xia Qingyue's snowy face was deeply moved.

The white mist rose for several minutes before it completely stopped. At this moment, Xiao Che suddenly stretched out his hands, shaking his hands together, his fingers like phantoms, and in an instant, the eight silver needles that had pierced Xia Qingyue's hands had all returned to his hands, and then he put them into another box.

"This cold air is heavier than I thought. Fortunately, you met me." Xiao Che muttered softly, then closed the box of silver needles and casually said: "Qingyue, my wife, how do your hands feel now?"

Xia Qingyue raised her hands, and ripples in her eyes. Relaxed, comfortable, warm... This is how her hands feel at this moment. It's like being suddenly freed from some heavy bondage. The warmth in her palms and arms was the first time she felt it after practicing the Ice Cloud Art. She looked up at Xiao Che and asked in surprise, "What on earth is this?"

"It's actually very simple. I just guided and released the coldness in your hands and the meridians in your hands, and unblocked the condensed meridians." Xiao Che said lightly, "The profound skills of your Ice Cloud Palace can make the profound energy cold, thus greatly increasing its power. The reason why cold profound energy is more powerful is that cold energy can hurt people... The enemy is a human, and you are also a human. Before you hurt others, you must hurt yourself first. This is a very simple truth."

"I touched your palm this morning and found that the temperature of your palm is much lower than the normal body temperature. Perhaps you people in Ice Cloud Palace will naturally think that this is a normal phenomenon caused by practicing the Ice Cloud Art, but from a medical point of view , it would be strange if such a body temperature could be normal! ! When the profound force is not used at ordinary times, the profound force is contained in the profound veins and will not affect oneself. But once it is used, the Ice Cloud Profound Qi will penetrate the whole body. When it is released, it will hurt others, but when it circulates, it will definitely hurt yourself! You should not have practiced the Ice Cloud Art for many years, but a large amount of cold air has penetrated into your five internal organs, six internal organs, blood, bone marrow, and Dantian, and it is accumulating more and more. Over time, it will cause continuous and serious damage to your organs throughout the body. It would be strange if you don’t die young! It is normal to have those negative reactions. "

Xia Qingyue: "..."

"In addition, under the cold air, many meridians in the body will also be blocked due to frequent spasms, which will have a considerable impact on the use of profound energy. You can now try to circulate the profound force to your hands and see what the difference is from before." Xiao Che said with a serious face.

Xiao Che's talk was well-reasoned, with a beginning and an end, and there was cause and effect, and the reason was very easy to understand, even a fool could understand it. Coupled with Xia Qingyue's actual reaction, there was no way to question or refute it.

But when Xiao Che spoke with a serious face, he was grinning in his heart... because what he said was indeed true, but since it was true... it was also nonsense!

It is true that cold air accumulates in the body and hurts the body, and it is also true that it will close the meridians... But if the Ice Cloud Art is really as bad as he said, the Ice Cloud Palace is still a fart! Not to mention standing at the top of the Blue Wind Continent, it is estimated that it would not have survived eight hundred years ago. When practicing the Ice Cloud Art for a period of time, the body is completely adapted to the Ice Cloud Art. Then, although the cold air in the body will still hurt life, it will no longer continue to hurt the body. Instead, it will become a helper, and the blocked meridians will naturally be unblocked.

But Xia Qingyue has only practiced the Ice Cloud Art for three or four years, so it is naturally impossible for her to "fully adapt". Combining his words with her own personal feelings all along, and the feeling after "conditioning", Xiao Che's words sounded flawless to her.

"Conditioning" is just an excuse. The "defects" of the Ice Cloud Art are also just an excuse. What he wants to do, only he knows.
