Chapter 546 Lin Qingjia is second, Ying Zijin is first [2 updates]
Yunshan wasn't particularly clear about the history between the Ye family and Fu Yunshen.
After all, the three brothers only joined Fu Yunshen halfway through their journey, and they weren't in China during the years Fu Yunshen went to O continent.
So after hearing about the Ye family's situation, he thought he should report it to Fu Yunshen.
Yunshan was taken aback upon hearing Ying Zijin's words.
But his hands moved faster than his mind, and he had already handed over the long box containing gold and silver needles.
These are new gold and silver needles specially commissioned by Fu Yunshen from the ancient medical community for Ying Zijin.
Just these dozen or so, and another billion or so have been spent.
After receiving the money, Ying Zijing kept thinking about how she could earn back those billions.
She opened the long box and nodded: "Mr. Ye Changkong, I will help you reach the Grandmaster level."
"Will the Ye family's crisis be resolved once they reach the Grandmaster level?"
"..."
The entire ancestral hall was silent.
Ye Ling was a little stunned.
Not to mention the Ye family head, even Ye Changkong was shocked by this.
Ye Changkong couldn't help but ask, "Miss Ying, what do you mean?"
What does it mean to make him a grandmaster?
The internal strength of ancient martial artists is a kind of energy generated within their bodies.
This kind of energy exists in ordinary people's bodies, but only those with ancient martial arts talent can condense this energy into internal strength through ancient martial arts manuals.
The circulation of internal energy is what allows ancient martial artists to far surpass ordinary people in terms of speed, strength, and lifespan.
When one reaches the level of a master of ancient martial arts, their internal energy can be manifested externally to protect their body, making them virtually indistinguishable from an impenetrable fortress.
It can perfectly defend against attacks from bullets and other firearms.
Unless these weapons are as powerful as nuclear bombs or atomic bombs, they cannot penetrate the defenses of a martial arts master.
Even if members of a large family accumulate medicinal herbs, it is impossible for them to break through to the Grandmaster level.
O Continent fears the ancient martial arts world because even the top-tier S-class mercenaries cannot compare to ancient martial arts masters.
“Yes, you can become a grandmaster.” Ying Zijin held three golden needles in her hand and said thoughtfully, “But there’s one thing I need to make clear beforehand.”
"I will use golden needles to help you reach the Grandmaster level, but after you reach the Grandmaster level this time, no matter how you cultivate in the future, you will not be able to make any progress, and your lifespan will be consumed even faster."
The lifespan of a master of ancient martial arts can reach more than two hundred years.
This is the drawback of this acupuncture technique.
Because it involves forcibly opening the meridians with external force, it increases one's ancient martial arts cultivation at the cost of consuming lifespan and the body's essence.
Otherwise, if everything could be accomplished with the help of external forces, it would be unfair to those geniuses who cultivate through their own abilities.
Ye Changkong gasped, still unable to recover from the shock: "Miss Ying, you really can..."
He knew that his talent in ancient martial arts was only average, and that even if he spent his entire life trying, he would never be able to break through to the level of a grandmaster of ancient martial arts.
Ye Changkong did not hesitate for a moment.
He stood up solemnly and clasped his hands in a fist salute to the girl: "Alright, please help me, Miss Ying."
Ying Zijing nodded slightly, gesturing for Ye Changkong to sit cross-legged.
She inserted the gold needles into several of his vital acupoints one by one, and then used her internal energy to activate them.
Ye Ling watched intently from the side, and the more she watched, the more enlightened she felt.
Half an hour later, Ying Zijin finished administering the acupuncture.
She leaned back in her chair, wiping away sweat, her voice low and hoarse, sounding somewhat weak: "Yunshan."
Yunshan understood, took out his gun, and aimed it at Ye Changkong.
With a "bang," he pulled the trigger.
A silver bullet burst out from the black gun barrel and flew straight toward Ye Changkong.
This pistol is also a new item in the NOK forum trading area. It has enormous destructive power and can destroy a villa in an instant.
Both Ye Ling and the Ye family head's expressions changed.
But the next second, they saw the bullet stop about three centimeters away from Ye Changkong.
Not an inch more.
Centered on the bullet, the internal energy vibrated the air, producing a slight "buzzing" sound.
Ye Changkong suddenly opened his eyes, and with an even more powerful surge of internal energy, he completely shattered the bullet.
"Internal strength manifesting externally!" Patriarch Ye stared blankly, unable to believe his eyes, and exclaimed, "Grandfather, a Grandmaster of Ancient Martial Arts, you have truly become a Grandmaster of Ancient Martial Arts!"
The Ye family has produced a master of ancient martial arts!
Ye Changkong carefully sensed the changes within his body, and instantly burst into tears: "Grandmaster, Grandmaster..."
He broke through to a level that countless ancient martial arts practitioners dreamed of just half an hour later.
"Miss Ying." Ye Changkong knelt down resolutely and bowed three times respectfully to the girl. "I will never forget your kindness in saving the Ye family today."
"Whatever you need, the entire Ye family will go through fire and water for you!"
"You're welcome." Ying Zijing rubbed her head. "I want to sleep."
This acupuncture technique is extremely energy-consuming.
"Ye Ling, go and see Miss Ying to rest," the Ye family head said immediately. "No one can talk about what happened today, not even anyone else in the Ye family."
Ye Ling nodded solemnly: "Understood."
She and Yunshan escorted Ying Zijin to her bedroom.
On the way, they ran into Ye Heng, who was returning from outside.
Ye Heng glanced at the girl and sneered inwardly.
It's really shameless of them to stay at the Ye family's house every day.
Ye Heng didn't look again. He held a jade bottle in his hand and walked inside with a beaming expression.
"Ye Heng!" The Ye family head walked out and saw this scene, and was furious again. "You still have the nerve to come back? Are you happy?"
"Father, what's wrong?" Ye Heng shook the jade bottle in his hand. "Of course I'm happy. I've been to the ancient medical community so many times, and this time I finally managed to snag the medicine that Miss Qingjia distributed."
He's been guarding it for months.
This belongs to his goddess.
"Ye Heng, you..." The Ye family head was furious, "Get over here and kneel in the ancestral hall for three days!"
**
Ying Zijin woke up in the afternoon.
When she woke up, Fu Yunshen was by her bedside.
He handed her a glass of water, his eyes swirling with emotion: "Yaoyao, besides those three and Yunshan, there's no one else, right?"
If the ancient martial arts world knew that someone could use acupuncture to enhance the cultivation of ancient martial artists, it would surely cause chaos.
"No." Ying Zijing was exhausted this time and didn't want to move while lying in bed. Hearing this, she just lifted her eyelids slightly. "I've thought it over. They'll help you, and I'll help them."
If it weren't for Ye Changkong, she doesn't know if she would ever have been able to see Fu Yunshen again.
Fu Yunshen pinched her face with his hand, and his lips curled up: "Little girl, if you like me so much, then how come you always say you can bear to see me suffer?"
"Just kidding, it's funny."
"..."
There's a saying: "You reap what you sow."
Fu Yunshen just smiled, then picked up another bowl containing fish soup: "Drink it."
The fish soup was delicious and had a pleasant aroma.
Ying Zijing frowned: "Your blood again?"
"Just a few drops," Fu Yunshen said casually. "It doesn't matter."
Ying Zijing paused for a moment, then drank it anyway: "Your cooking skills have improved."
"After all, my girlfriend has rather discerning tastes." Fu Yunshen patted her head. "Don't go to the Level 4 exam tomorrow."
"No." Upon hearing this, Ying Zijing rolled over. "I'll get the money right away."
Otherwise, she would have to wait another month.
"I'll earn the money, you rest." Fu Yunshen raised an eyebrow. "What will I do if you overwork yourself?"
"Didn't I say?" Ying Zijing yawned, "I'll take care of you, little kid."
Fu Yunshen's hand paused.
The familiar words brought us back to a year ago.
At that time, he was isolated and helpless. She was like a ray of light piercing through the darkness, forcefully entering his life.
It was unstoppable and so dazzling that it was hard to look directly at it.
"Go back to sleep." Fu Yunshen picked up Celtic mythology, his slender fingers lightly tapping the pages, his expression casual. "I'll tell you a bedtime story."
Ying Zijin: "..."
She wanted to take back what she had just said.
**
In December, more people took the Level 4 exam than Level 3.
Because the Level 4 assessment is only held once a month, many members have taken it more than ten times without passing.
"Out of 300 people taking the Level 4 exam this time, nine passed." Master Li received the list. "Let's take a look at their scores."
Master Liu shook his head: "What's so interesting about it? After seeing a genius like Miss Qingjia, who else can catch our eye?"
As he spoke, he sighed, "When Miss Qingjia was twenty years old, she passed the Level 4 assessment, and just one year later, she successfully advanced to Level 5."
"If she could focus solely on cultivating medicine, she would definitely be at level six by now."
As for Meng Qingxue, she is not in the Pill Alliance, and the Pill Alliance is unaware of this.
However, judging from various rumors, Meng Qingxue's alchemy skills should be at the level of a sixth-level member in the Pill Alliance.
There are only thirty-four Level 6 members in the entire Dan Alliance.
Excluding the five elders of the council, there are only two members at level seven.
Meng Qingxue's medical skills are quite remarkable.
The dream world and the secular world have close ties.
They had all heard that several top families in the capital had invited Meng Qingxue to treat their illnesses.
Master Liu clearly wasn't very interested in the new batch of Level 4 members.
But he patiently watched it.
The more I look, the more disappointed I become; the youngest is already forty years old.
Master Li also sighed.
“I already said, Miss Qingjia is a genius that comes along only once in a century, truly unmatched.” Hall Master Liu stood up. “I’m leaving now.”
Master Li flipped to the last report card, initially just glancing at it casually.
That one glance, however, froze them completely.
Name: Ying Zijin
Bone age: 18
Assessment time: 115 min
The results showed that each batch of Jingxin Dan (a traditional Chinese medicine) contained six pills, with each pill having a utilization rate of 65%.
Overall ranking of Danmeng Level 4 assessment: 1
See you tomorrow.
