Chapter 47: The Forbidden Needle Technique

  Wen Tao knew it was bad, and his body quickly retreated backwards at full speed, still much slower than the speed of an explosion.

  "Boom……" It felt like a train had slammed into his body, the force was enormous and unstoppable. Wēn Tāo could clearly feel his body being rapidly destroyed, at this moment his spirit still maintained the level of a pre- Tribulation high-level expert, he was also very clear about his physical condition, but facing such an enormous power, he was powerless to do anything.

  Defeated, dead and still playing a desperate move, I knew they had this trick, but unfortunately it was too late.

  Just as Wén Tāo felt that his body was about to be overwhelmed by the massive explosion, a surge of energy suddenly burst out from within him, instantly neutralizing the enormous force of Xuán Míng's explosion.

  "...Bang!" The aftermath of the collision between the two forces still shook Wentai, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.

  Ling Lan and Xuan Ling, who were originally flying in the sky to avoid the explosion, were both stunned. Especially Ling Lan, she was once a super master of the cultivation world, the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox, and had seen everything for thousands of years. But today, she opened her eyes wide, a ordinary first-level warrior of the Pre-Heavenly stage actually killed two Golden Dan stage masters.

  It's said that the strongest existence among martial artists is only equivalent to the early stages of the Golden Elixir, even if they reach the peak of their innate abilities. If a cultivator has a spiritual artifact, no matter how powerful an innate martial artist is, they won't be able to match up. But now...

  What surprised her even more was that the huge explosion from just now suddenly disappeared after it had just erupted a bit further.

  "Master..."

  "Go die..." Xuanling was enraged, flying sword directly slashing Wentao.

  Wen Tao was now half squatting, his hands propping himself up on the ground, and he continuously coughed out several mouthfuls of blood. This was his first time getting injured, but it felt very comfortable. Because he had taken down his own enemy, only at this moment, all the muscles in his body couldn't move even a bit, and his internal organs were also slightly injured.

  "You're looking for death...... Boom......" Ling Lan was thoroughly enraged. Until now, she still didn't understand why Wen Tao saved her. She wasn't a super expert now, nor did she have any magic treasures. Moreover, after saving herself, he hadn't asked for anything, and even gave herself more relaxed conditions this time, almost without any constraints on herself.

  She couldn't understand, in her mind, everything should be valuable and exchangeable. There was no unconditional love, but when she saw Wēn Tāo walk out for her own sake, throwing away the high-grade spiritual artifact Dragon Whip, the mid-grade spiritual artifact Dark Turtle Shell, and now being seriously injured again.

  At this time, Ling Lan only knew one thing, which was that she owed her master too much.

  Seeing Xuanling attacking Wentao, Linglan uses the uncontrolled Jiaolong whip to block it with all her might, her eyes flashing with anger, and her body suddenly changes.

  Higher than last time, nearly ten meters high, four huge tails are about fifteen meters long.

  "Ah......" The Xuanling flying in the sky took a cold breath, even his anger was extinguished. Heaven, the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox.

  The nine-tailed heavenly fox in the Shu Mountains is also an extremely powerful lineage. If I had known it was a nine-tailed heavenly fox, Xuanying wouldn't have dared to provoke it lightly. Unfortunately, regret comes too late now.

  The power of the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox increased exponentially as she transformed back into her true form. Enraged and disregarding her own injuries, she tore Xuanling apart into pieces. Even Xuanling's Nascent Soul was directly absorbed and refined by her.

  "Master..." Ling Lan killed Xuan Ling and immediately transformed back, disregarding her own bleeding arm, flying over to him.

  Wen Tao took advantage of this time to painfully and laboriously take out some medicinal pills to eat, as if they were worthless. At this moment, every move he made was extremely painful.

  Fortunately, Wén Tāo's body is sturdy and his recovery speed has also increased a lot. Under the nourishment of spiritual energy and medicinal pills, he has been growing all along, and now the benefits are showing when he is injured.

  Seeing Ling Lan also kill her opponent, Wen Tao nodded and slowly stood up.

  "Are you hurt?" Looking at Ling Lan's arm which had been cut so deeply that bone was visible.

  "It's okay, it'll be fine in a few days." Ling Lan didn't care, she controlled the bleeding herself, but without spiritual medicine, it was hard to recover quickly. If she healed slowly, it would take at least ten or eight days to get better.

  Wen Tao laughed and said: "No need to wait a few more days, your boss is a doctor."

  Wen Tao was still not used to the old-fashioned title of "master", but since she wanted to call him that, he let her. Wen Tao was never stingy with his own people, and directly took out a few pellets of healing medicine and threw them at Ling Lan, while also pulling out a silver needle.

  It's the first time that Wenyao has used a needle to heal a stimulating wound, and he uses a needle that quickly takes effect with medicine. This kind of formation is generally unbearable for ordinary people, because accelerating healing is to some extent accelerating the growth of a certain part of the human body, triggering potential, and ordinary people can't afford to use this.

  However, for the powerful life force and infinite potential of cultivators and demon cultivators, the effect of this formation is to ignore level damage. It's worth noting that in the cultivation world, the more powerful the artifact, the harder it is to heal the damage caused by it. Even a small wound, if caused by an immortal artifact, can make it difficult for someone to recover for a long time.

  Unless there is a Dan medicine of the same level or one's own powerful strength, it also requires time to be consumed.

  "This is...!" Ling Lan stared in shock at her wound rapidly healing, and even the precious medicinal pellets she had taken didn't require her to circulate her Qi. Under Wentai's few silver needles, they transformed into a gentle power that merged into her wound, and the wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

  "Ah!" Wentao was very satisfied, looking at his arm which had recovered to its original state: "Good... it's really great. If this works, doesn't that mean those lethal forbidden needle techniques can be used too? Ah, I wonder if some of the needle techniques I've thought of will work."

  Ling Lan stood there, watching her boss happily muttering to himself, but had no idea what he was saying or what made him so happy.

  Wen Tao's favorite research subject is acupuncture, which is incredibly mysterious. However, the only thing he can access, including the acupuncture techniques he currently uses, is just a small part of it. It's like a huge treasure trove, where you dig up one corner and then stop.

  Just like the healing needle he used just now, if this is combined with the hemostatic needle, it will be absolutely unbeatable in dealing with external injuries. Unfortunately, someone had discovered it before, but it was listed as a forbidden needle. Because using this needle would shorten one's lifespan, and severe cases could cost one's life.

  Now that it has been applied to Ling Lan, Wen Tao suddenly realized that the formations that were more harmful than beneficial to ordinary people were actually so cleverly used on demonic cultivators, and by extension, they must be very effective against true cultivators as well.

  "Ling Lan thanks Master for saving her life again." Ling Lan knelt down with the Dragon Whip and Dark Turtle Shell in her hands, filled with gratitude.

  The Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox Clan was incomparably noble, with their own dignity, especially a nine-tailed heavenly fox like Ling Lan, who would not yield even to a stronger opponent, but now she knelt down with a willing and sincere heart.

  What a nine-tailed celestial fox meant, Wēn Tāo was very clear about it. He hadn't thought he could really control her anyway; it would already be good if nothing bad happened. By chance, they had this encounter after all, and it seemed like fate.

  Although Ling Lan only has four tails now, with the power of Yuanying stage, she can still recover to nine-tailed Tian Huo's original strength without needing a hundred years to cultivate again.

  Wen Tao did not stop her this time and accepted her bow.

  "I bow to you once, this dragon whip and dark turtle armor will be given to you."

  The Jiaolong whip and the Xuanwu armor are indeed precious, but the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox didn't get too excited. It's just that in her heart, she couldn't see through her master's abilities as a first-rate martial artist. His endless techniques, numerous elixirs, casually gifted treasures, and his unique medical skills - how did he use them to help her block the heavenly tribulation? And how could he rely on being a first-rate martial artist to kill two Golden Elixir stage experts? The more Linglan interacted with him, the more she felt that she couldn't see through this master of hers.
