The pill in front of her shimmered with a blue light, as eerie as a ghost's eye. A hint of surprise flashed in Nangong Ling'er's eyes. Finally, the moment the pill was refined, she quickly reached out and grasped it, holding it tightly in her palm, as if afraid that it would escape if she let go.

A moment later, she took out a delicate little medicine bottle, put the pill inside, and finally smiled with satisfaction. Just as she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, her heart suddenly skipped a beat. She didn't know why, and Nangong Ling'er hadn't paid much attention to it at first, but just as she got up to leave the alchemy room, she seemed to suddenly remember something and felt uneasy.

She then raised her hand and drew a Tai Chi diagram in the air. Her eyes emitted a holy white light, as if she were using ancient Taoist calculation methods to deduce something. After a moment, she frowned.

She then took out various divination tools such as divination sticks, copper coins, and tortoise shells. As she performed the divinations, her expression became increasingly solemn. Finally, she used the ancient method again, but this time she did not get an answer for a long time. Just as she was about to stop, her expression suddenly became extremely painful.

He bled from all seven orifices and fell unconscious.

Ye Qingyun and Liu Jiantang, who had come to look for her, happened to see her. They had already felt something was strange when they sensed the commotion in the alchemy room, and now that they saw their junior sister bleeding from all seven orifices and lying on the ground, they were even more worried.

Ye Qingyun rushed over to check on Nangong Ling'er's injuries, while Liu Jiantang drew his Dragon-Slaying Sword to stand guard.

Ye Qingyun checked his junior sister's injuries. "Second junior brother, stop being on guard and quickly find someone to help. Junior sister was backfired by the power of the laws. She must have seen some taboo while deducing the Heavenly Dao. Go and call the third junior sister!"

After thinking for a moment, Liu Jiantang quickly prepared to set off, not daring to delay at all.

"Wait...have Junior Brother Xiao bring Junior Nephew Bai Yao over here."

After thinking for a moment, Liu Jiantang launched warning fireworks and then used the power of the sect's grand formation to send a message to Xiao Yuhan and Bai Yao.

Within the sect, communication was quite fast, thanks to the sect-protecting array. Shen Huairu arrived first, while Ye Qingyun had already sent Nangong Ling'er back to her room and was anxiously watching over her.

The only person in the entire sect skilled in medicine was unconscious. Ye Qingyun was able to find out the cause of Nangong Ling'er's illness, but even with his and Liu Jiantang's abilities, they were helpless to treat their junior sister's injuries.

It wasn't until Shen Huai Rulai examined her that he said, "Junior Sister must have been injured by the laws of Heaven. The laws of Heaven are not power, but rules. She was both being attacked by the backlash because the spiritual energy within Junior Sister's body was affected by the laws of Heaven. Senior Brothers, do you understand the 'Suwen Heart Sutra' that Junior Sister is practicing?"

The two exchanged a glance and shook their heads.

Shen Huairu frowned and said, "If it were an outsider, I could risk trying to treat him, but the one lying here is my junior sister. I cannot calm down, because if I fail, at best my cultivation will be completely destroyed, and at worst I will die."

The fellow disciples remained silent. At that moment, Xiao Yuhan arrived with Bai Yao. "Senior brothers and sisters, what's wrong?"

At this point, Xiao Yuhan noticed his junior sister lying on the bed not far away. Her face was pale and she looked haggard. Xiao Yuhan immediately frowned and rushed over to check on her. "Junior sister, what happened?"

After the group explained the situation to Xiao Yuhan, he finally understood. In fact, all of the brothers knew some medical skills and could easily treat ordinary injuries. However, their junior sister's condition was special, and none of them dared to treat her rashly, for fear that they might make a mistake and harm her.

Just then, Bai Yao, who had followed, suddenly spoke up: "Master, fellow disciples, I might have a way."

Ye Qingyun then came to his senses, "Yes, let Junior Sister Bai Yao take a look. I specifically asked her to come because this girl has been by Junior Sister's side for many years. Perhaps she can help!"

At this moment, Bai Yao slowly stepped forward to examine Nangong Ling'er's injuries. Inadvertently, she saw the worry in her master's eyes and became a little anxious as well. After examining her, she looked at the people present and said, "Junior Martial Aunt was affected by some kind of force, which caused the spiritual energy to flow in reverse. Fortunately, her meridians were not damaged. Junior Martial Aunt taught me acupuncture techniques before, so I may be able to try. However, since the blood and qi in her meridians are flowing in reverse, acupuncture needs to be performed on her whole body."

Ye Qingyun thought for a moment and then asked, "Is Junior Sister Bai Yao confident?"

Bai Yao pondered for a moment seriously, "I'm confident, there shouldn't be any major problems. Acupuncture is different from forcibly channeling energy with external force. Instead, it changes the original trajectory of spiritual energy flow in Junior Uncle's body, so it's much safer. Don't worry, there shouldn't be any major issues. Actually, Junior Uncle taught me the Suwen Heart Sutra before. I found it interesting, so I studied it with Junior Uncle for a while."

The group looked at each other in silence, but Bai Yao hesitated to make a move, simply watching them.

Liu Jiantang was somewhat puzzled and asked, "Does Junior Sister Bai Yao have any other questions? Is it because you don't have enough silver needles?"

Bai Yao said somewhat awkwardly, "Junior Martial Aunt is a woman, so she will need to remove her clothes when I perform the acupuncture..."

The men present then realized what was happening, gave an awkward smile, and hurriedly left the house. Xiao Yuhan also stood up: "Yao'er, your third uncle is here to help you. By the way, just let me know if you need anything. Your two uncles and I are waiting outside."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yao thought for a moment and said, "We really do need your help. Master, go back to the Discipline Hall and get some Ningxiang grass to make incense for Junior Uncle to calm his mind. Uncle Liu Jiantang, go to the bottom of the Sword Tomb cliff to find some Danyun flowers to brew medicine, which can nourish qi and blood. As for Uncle Sect Leader, go to the pavilion on the back mountain to find a kind of Zhengyang Xuejie, which can invigorate qi."

Seeing that Bai Yao had arranged everything so clearly, the three brothers stood in front of the door for a while after they came out. Liu Jiantang frowned and asked, "Isn't Bai Yao a little different than before?"
