“Who did you hear that from?” Xia Qingyue asked with a cold brow, and was shocked. With the same profound strength, the life span of people in Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace was much shorter than that of people in other sects. This was a cruel fact, and it was a secret even in Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace, which had been suppressed by the high-level officials of Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace. And because the level of profound strength in Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace was extremely high, the overall life span of people in the Immortal Palace was also very long, so this fact was not too obvious.
Xia Qingyue knew this because her master said it out of nowhere after one of her breakthroughs, and told her that this was the biggest flaw of the Frozen Cloud Art, and strictly ordered her not to tell anyone, including her senior and junior sisters. But now, Xiao Che blurted it out.
"If I were the Palace Master of Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace, I would definitely use all methods to suppress this 'defect' and not let outsiders know about it. Who do you think I could have heard about it from?" Xiao Che pouted and said, "I really only came to these conclusions from your pulse, that's all. Judging from your reaction, it seems that I was right about everything."
"I don't believe it!" Xia Qingyue shook her head decisively. Can we deduce the great secret that Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace has been hiding all along through a pulse? It's ridiculous! If it were really that simple, there are countless divine doctors in the Blue Wind Empire, and this secret of Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace should have spread throughout the world many years ago.
But everything Xiao Che said just now was to the point without any deviation. This made Xia Qingyue unable to help but feel suspicious.
"I knew you wouldn't believe it." Xiao Che picked up the medicine pot and the package on the ground and walked into the room: "Come with me."
Xia Qingyue’s gaze lingered over the things he was holding. After a slight hesitation, she followed him into the room and closed the door.
“Sit down.” After putting down the medicine pot and the package, Xiao Che said to Xia Qingyue in a commanding tone.
“What are you going to do?” Xia Qingyue looked at him with doubt in her eyes.
"Of course I'll adjust it for you."
“No need.” Xia Qingyue shook her head directly.
"Whether you need it or not, you'd better try it before you draw any conclusions... Hey! You don't even want to try, do you?"
Xiao Che had already opened the package and took out a silver box. He sighed, a little disappointed and disappointed on his face: "I know you don't believe what I said. But at least, I have no ability to harm you, and no reason to harm you. I went to the pharmacy early in the morning to get these things, just to treat you. If it works, it's good, if it doesn't, you won't lose anything... Since you don't believe it and don't want to try, forget it, just treat me as my own wishful thinking."
Xia Qingyue was startled by Xiao Che’s words, and then she felt a little guilty… Indeed, what he said before, and what he was about to do, were all for the purpose of healing her, and he was not asking for anything from her or making any requests. As he said himself, he had no reason or ability to harm her… Not to mention what the result would be, it was really a bit too much for her to refuse directly.
Xia Qingyue sighed inwardly and sat down next to Xiao Che: "How do you want to treat it?"
"...Are you willing to recuperate?" Xiao Che glanced at her, snorted softly, and turned his face away.
His childish, angry attitude made Xia Qingyue not know whether to laugh or cry for a moment, and her voice softened: “I want to see how you will treat it.”
"Well, that's good." When Xiao Che turned around again, he already had a smiling expression. Xia Qingyue was slightly stunned... This guy, the speed of changing his expression was really too fast!
"Put your hand out."
Xiao Che sat in front of Xia Qingyue, and Xia Qingyue followed his instructions and stretched out her arms, spreading them horizontally on the table. She pulled her loose red sleeves up to her elbows, revealing two arms as white as snow.
Xiao Che opened the silver box, and inside, there were dozens of silver needles as thin as silk.
"Silver needles...are you going to use acupuncture?" Xia Qingyue raised her eyebrows slightly.
"Huh? You actually know acupuncture?" Xiao Che looked at her in surprise. In the Cangyun Continent, there were less than ten people who knew acupuncture, including him and his master, the Medical Saint. However, in the Tianxuan Continent, this seemed to be a medical skill that had become quite popular. In the Xiao Clan's pharmacy, you could find a set of acupuncture instruments.
“Of course I know. I also know that the art of acupuncture requires extremely high proficiency. It takes more than ten years to achieve minor success, and several decades to achieve major success. I have never heard that you have learned medical skills, let alone acupuncture. Moreover, there is no smell or trace of Qihuang in your room. What exactly are you going to do?” Xia Qingyue’s eyes were full of confusion and vigilance.
Xiao Che took out a silver needle and gently twisted it with his two fingers... When Xiao Che picked up the silver needle, Xia Qingyue's eyes were slightly dazed, because the silver needle in Xiao Che's hand had an indescribable sense of harmony, as if the silver needle was born in Xiao Che's hand. This feeling was very subtle, indescribable, but real and clear.
Xiao Che opened a small bottle, dipped the silver needle lightly, and said, "You will know whether I can do acupuncture soon. Of course, if you feel uncomfortable or feel that I am making fun of you, you can stop me at any time."
“What’s in that bottle?” Xia Qingyue turned her gaze towards the small medicine bottle.
“Ordinary red sun flower juice.” Xiao Che answered casually, his eyes fell on Xia Qingyue’s snow-white hands, and his left hand holding the silver needle shook slightly.
Xiao Che's action was so fast that Xia Qingyue didn't even have time to react. When Xiao Che withdrew his left hand, the silver needle between his fingers had disappeared, and a silver needle had been inserted vertically into her right wrist... and landed precisely on the Yangchi acupoint.
There was no pain, or even any feeling. If she hadn't seen 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, this was definitely not fast! It was skillful! A skill that reached an astonishing level, the ultimate!
Xiao Che had picked up the second silver needle, dipped it in a little red sun flower juice, and brought it close to Xia Qingyue's right hand. With a slight flick of his wrist, the second silver needle had already been accurately pierced into the Yanggu acupoint. Then the third and fourth needles were pierced into the Zhongzhu and Hegu acupoints respectively.
After the right hand, another four 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 fleeting shadow. The surprise in her heart also overlapped with each wave of silver needles inserted.
She didn’t know whether Xiao Che’s “conditioning” would have any effect, but his skillful and devilish 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 strength."
Xiao Che's voice rang in her ears. She also cooperated with Xiao Che, relaxed her arms, and calmed down. At this moment, she suddenly felt the cold air condensed in her left and right hands, and then as if finding an outlet, it quickly flowed to the four acupoints of Yangchi, Yanggu, Zhongzhu, and Hegu that were pierced by the silver needles...
Suddenly, wisps of slowly disappearing white mist rose from each of the eight silver needles. The cold air contained in them caused the temperature around them to drop rapidly. Feeling the cold air running through her meridians and the rapidly escaping white mist, Xia Qingyue's snow-white face was greatly moved.
The white mist rose for several minutes before it completely stopped. At this moment, Xiao Che suddenly stretched out his hands, and waved his hands together, his fingers like phantoms. 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 even heavier than I thought. Fortunately, you met me." Xiao Che muttered softly, then closed the box of silver needles and said casually: "Qingyue, my wife, how do your hands feel now?"
Xia Qingyue raised her hands, her eyes rippled. Relaxed, comfortable, warm... this was the feeling of her hands at the moment. It was as if she had been suddenly freed from some heavy bondage. The warmth in her palms and arms was the first time she felt it after practicing the Frozen Cloud Art. She raised her eyes to look 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 Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace can make the profound energy become icy, thus greatly increasing its power. The reason why cold profound energy is more powerful is that cold air can hurt people... The enemy is a human, and I am also a human. Before I can hurt others, I must hurt myself 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 Frozen Cloud Palace will naturally think that this is a normal phenomenon caused by practicing Frozen Cloud Art, but from a medical point of view, it would be strange if such a body temperature could be normal! When you don't use your profound energy, it is contained in your profound veins and will not affect yourself. But once you use it, the Frozen Cloud Profound Energy will flow through your body. When it is released, it will hurt others, but when it circulates, it will definitely hurt yourself! You should not have practiced Frozen Cloud Art for many years, but a large amount of cold air has penetrated into your five internal organs, six bowels, blood, bone marrow, and Dantian, and it is accumulating more and more. Over time, it will cause continuous and serious damage to your internal organs. 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, many meridians in the body will be blocked due to frequent spasms, which will have a considerable impact on the use of Xuan Qi. You can now try to transfer the Xuan Li to your hands and see if there is any difference from before.” Xiao Che said with a serious face.
Xiao Che's argument was well-reasoned, with a beginning and an end, cause and effect, and the logic was so easy to understand that even a fool could understand it. Coupled with Xia Qingyue's practical reaction, there was no way to question or refute it.
But when Xiao Che spoke with a serious face, he was actually grimacing in his heart... because what he said was indeed true, but at the same time... it was also bullshit!
It is true that cold air accumulates and harms the body, and it is also true that it will close the meridians... But if the Frozen Cloud Art is really as bad as he said, the Frozen Cloud Palace will still be a fart! Not to mention standing at the top of the Blue Wind Continent, it is estimated that it would have failed eight hundred years ago. After practicing the Frozen Cloud Art for a period of time, the body will completely adapt to the Frozen Cloud Art. Then, although the cold air in the body will still harm the life, it will no longer continue to harm the body. Instead, it will become a help, and the blocked meridians will naturally be unblocked.
But Xia Qingyue had only practiced Frozen Cloud Art for three or four years, so it was impossible for her to “fully adapt” to it. Combining his words with her own personal feelings and the feelings after “conditioning”, Xiao Che’s words seemed flawless to her.
"Treatment" is just an excuse. The "defect" of Bingyun Jue is also just an excuse. Only he knows what he wants to do.
