A burst of white light appeared. This time, Xiao Yuhan did not stop her. Instead, he waited for her to emerge from her cocoon again. He thought to himself that no matter if she was friend or foe, he could not let her stay here. If he really couldn't defeat her, he could just follow his junior sister's example and disintegrate.
Not long after, the cocoon burst open, and a naked girl appeared before them. She seemed to have been reborn, with skin as white as snow, a face as beautiful as a fairy, and clear eyes as clean as spring water.
Xiao Yuhan was stunned for a moment, then immediately felt a little embarrassed. She turned her head and casually took off her outer garment and threw it over.
After putting on the clothes, the girl carefully looked Xiao Yuhan over, then asked in fluent Sichuan dialect, "Who are you?"
Xiao Yuhan was startled, thinking that this was indeed the real Miao Xiaodie. The previous one had spoken Mandarin. He immediately explained, "My name is Xiao Yuhan, from the Heavenly Sword Sect!"
The girl thought for a moment, then murmured, "Why am I here? Heavenly Sword Sect? Isn't that a powerful sect from the Central Plains?"
She covered her forehead, looking pained. After squatting down to rest for a moment, she seemed to remember something and said, "I know, it's it! There's actually someone in this world who can take over my body. That bitch, don't let me catch her, or I'll let her taste the pain of being devoured by ten thousand poisonous insects!"
Seeing her clenched fists and puffed-up cheeks, Xiao Yuhan thought to himself that the leader of the Five Immortals Sect was such a cute little girl, and immediately felt relieved.
"If you're alright, I'll be going now. I still have to go rescue someone!"
"Wait! Did you save me?"
Xiao Yuhan gasped, recalling the scene where he had just used all the ruthless tricks he had ever learned on her. He then laughed awkwardly, "Ha...haha...well, I guess so. Goodbye, miss!"
"Why are you running away! Stand still! I haven't properly thanked you yet! We Miao people don't like to owe others favors. Tell me, how do you want me to repay you!"
"How about... you help me save them?"
"That's easy! But you should still help me find some clothes. If I fight wearing these clothes, it'll be easy for others to see everything!" the little girl said generously.
Xiao Yuhan took out a spare set of clothes from her magical artifact and handed it over, saying, "Make do with these!"
"You understand our Miao language too?"
Xiao Yuhan said in Sichuan dialect, "I know a little bit... I know a little bit!"
...
Meanwhile, inside the Blood King's Cave, Bai Yao had no idea how long she had been on the run. The aura of her junior uncle behind her was growing weaker and weaker. Finally, she arrived at a cave that looked like the Blood God Cult's storeroom. She carefully placed her junior uncle, Nangong Ling'er, on a straw mat and then left to search for any medicinal herbs that could save her.
But this ancient cave seemed quite different. The furnishings and arrangement resembled a woman's room, with a dusty bronze mirror, rouge that hadn't been used in a long time, and a dressing table so covered in dust that one dared not touch it easily.
Bai Yao carefully searched through the bookshelves and drawers, but she felt uneasy. Even if she found some kind of elixir in this place, it would probably be old and ineffective.
After thinking for a moment, she returned to Nangong Ling'er's side and began to channel her spiritual energy into her body, but the effect was minimal, only temporarily stabilizing her junior uncle's heart meridian.
Her cultivation level had not yet reached the Golden Core realm. It took her an hour to transfer all the spiritual energy in her body to Nangong Ling'er before she collapsed to the ground.
At this moment, Nangong Ling'er slowly woke up, looked at Bai Yao and asked about the current situation. She breathed a sigh of relief when she learned that the two of them were safe. However, she was unable to move at all. Bai Yao's spiritual energy could only wake her up at most.
"Yao'er! Listen to me, I still have quite a few silver needles in my arms."
"Uncle-Master! Teach me how to save you!"
"My natal magic weapon is destroyed, which has damaged my nascent soul and spirit. Previously, they sealed my dantian, and I forced my way through, which caused damage to my spiritual sea. This kind of internal injury is neither minor nor serious. Now, take out the silver needles and insert them into the Lieque acupoint between my thumb and index finger!"
Bai Yao panicked a little, "Uncle-Master, I don't know how!"
"Yao'er, it's alright, just follow my instructions. Now I'll teach you my unique acupuncture technique!"
Bai Yao carefully picked up the silver needles and inserted them little by little according to Nangong Ling'er's instructions.
"Lightly needle the Jiquan acupoint, heavily needle the Qingling acupoint, and then needle the Shaohai, Lingdao, Tongli, Yinxi, Shenmen, Shaofu, and Shaochong acupoints once each, with neither too light nor too heavy a pressure..."
Half an hour later, Nangong Ling'er breathed a sigh of relief. "When I escaped earlier, I only used spiritual energy to lock my acupoints. If it had been too long, it would have crippled my limbs. Now, stopping the bleeding with needles is no problem. Find some cloth to bandage my wounds, and I'll teach you how to properly circulate your qi to heal my injuries!"
Bai Yao seemed to understand but not quite. She took off her outer garment, tore it into strips, and used it to bandage her junior uncle's wounds. Her careful manner made it seem as if she didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
"Yao'er, don't be nervous. You are the most talented acupuncturist I've ever seen. If I had known you had this talent, I would have snatched you away from my senior brother!" Nangong Ling'er teased, her face pale.
Bai Yao then showed a slight smile, "Uncle-Master is too kind. I will not leave Master!"
“This little girl is really good…” Nangong Ling’er said, then suddenly turned her head and fainted.
But Bai Yao panicked and asked repeatedly, "Uncle-Master! You haven't told me how to circulate your qi to heal your injuries yet..."
But Nangong Ling'er had already fallen into a deep sleep, and Bai Yao couldn't bear to wake her. After bandaging her wounds, she ran to the cave entrance to set up some defensive and concealment arrays, things she had researched on her own on the mountain.
Once she was sure it was safe, she began searching the room again, hoping to find something useful.
Everything in the room was arranged very neatly. Although it looked like no one had lived there for many years and it was covered in dust, Bai Yao guessed that the owner of this place must have been very particular.
Even the books on the bookshelf were arranged according to the first character of each word. She flipped through them one by one, but after a long time, she still couldn't find anything useful.
Somewhat disappointed, she went to the bedside to watch over her junior uncle. Suddenly, a strange thought came to her mind. Because she was always bullied by her senior brothers and sisters on the mountain, she never dared to show off any good things she had. So, the good pills and some money she obtained were always kept in a secret compartment under her pillow.
However, Bai Yao quickly rejected this idea, thinking that who else but herself would consider the area under their pillow a safe place? After a wry smile, she stood there stunned, thinking that there was no harm in taking a look, so she gently moved her junior uncle a little further in.
Sure enough, a hidden compartment appeared where the pillow had originally been placed.
