Chapter 10: The Snake and Scorpion Woman Yan Xiaozhi

  Yan Zhen must rush to a higher peak, and in the remaining few days, he will upgrade his cultivation from the fifth stage of Qi Refining to the sixth stage. Therefore, Yan Zhen chose to practice the Nine Needles and Nine Demons Secret Technique, a secret technique that stimulates potential. The Nine Needles and Nine Demons Secret Technique is divided into three steps, and now the first step has been completed. Next is the second step - Nine Needles Entering the Body.

  Nine needles enter the body, using nine silver needles to pierce the nine major acupoints in the middle of the body. The nine silver needles are already prepared. Each needle is one inch and one tenth long. Under the light, the needles shine with an unusual silver luster.

  Yan Zhen lit the candle flame, one by one burning these nine silver needles until they turned red.

  Then, Yan Zhen inserted a silver needle into her own Tian Zhu hole, which is located in the middle of the back of the head. The human brain is complex and inserting a needle into it carries great risk. When the needle was inserted, there was a slight stinging sensation, but it wasn't intense. During the first insertion, Yan Zhen was extremely cautious, and after the needle finally entered the Tian Zhu hole, she couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. The first insertion was the most difficult one, and after succeeding, the rest became much easier.

  The second needle is inserted into the Qishen acupoint in the abdominal region. Although the Qishen acupoint is not as important as the Qihai acupoint, it is also a gateway to the Dan Tian.

  The third needle is inserted into the Shendao acupoint on the back, although it's not convenient to insert a needle in this area. However, there is a protruding part next to the Shendao acupoint, and judging by its position, you can basically avoid inserting the needle incorrectly.

  The fourth needle is inserted into the Shenmen point on the right hand, which is close to the tiger's mouth and is in charge of the qi and blood vessels of the right hand.

  The fifth needle is inserted into the Shenmen point on the left hand, with the needles facing each other.

  The sixth needle, inserted into the Blood Sea Point on the right leg, which controls the blood flow in the lower limbs and is an extremely important acupoint. Yan Zhen carefully inserted it, not daring to make a single mistake.

  The seventh needle is inserted into the Blood Sea point on the left leg.

  The eighth needle, inserted at the Zusanli point on the right foot, is located three inches below the outer knee eye and about one finger width from the lateral side of the tibia. It is the convergence of the Foot Yangming Stomach Meridian. After being struck, the lower limbs become numb and lose their agility.

  The ninth needle is inserted in the middle of Yongquan acupoint. This acupoint is located at the front three-fifths of the sole, where a depression appears when the toes are curled under.

  All nine silver needles have entered the hole, and at this time, the second step of the Nine Needles and Nine Demons Secret Technique has also been completed. Next, you can start practicing the third and final step of the Nine Needles and Nine Demons Secret Technique - summoning demons into the body. Once the final step is completed, you can advance to the sixth level of Yang Wei Meridian in the Qi Refining Stage.

  Swallow was about to start practicing the third step, but at this time he heard two footsteps coming from afar, one in front of the other, one light and one heavy.

  After a moment, two people stood in front of the Qing She's door. In the front was a girl wearing purple clothes, holding a purple umbrella in her hand. Under the umbrella, the girl had thin eyebrows, a high nose, bright red lips, and a petite figure that seemed pitifully small. In the dense rain, she had an extraordinary charm. This woman was the one who initially followed Yan Zhen, then switched to Ou Yang Song's side, causing Yan Zhen to recklessly initiate a life-or-death duel on the Du Xian Tai with Yan Xiao Zi.

  Yan Zhen saw Yan Xiaozi and involuntarily ignited a fire of anger. Yan Xiaozi was a damned woman, and her own downfall in the previous life also had something to do with this woman. In fact, Yan Xiaozi was a very interesting woman. She had two characteristics: one, she was lewd and lascivious inside; two, she worshipped the strong, liking to flirt with powerful men everywhere, and once finding an even stronger man, she would kick away her original lover.

  In her past life, after finding that Yan Zhen was not strong enough, she immediately turned to Ou Yang Song's arms. In her past life, Yan Zhen was severely injured by Ou Yang Song, with all the meridians in his four limbs severed, and even Yan Xiao Zi did not come to comfort or visit him once, their relationship ended in such a ruthless manner, which is not ordinary.

  Later, Ouyang Song's harem grew larger and he neglected her. As a result, the lustful Yan Xiaozhi seduced another man. In anger, Ouyang Song killed that man but spared Yan Xiaozhi, instead abandoning her.

  But Yan Xiaozhi was not easy to get along with, and immediately hooked up with another extremely famous and promising young cultivator. Everyone thought that Yan Xiaozhi would now settle down and live a stable life. But they were wrong again, as Yan Xiaozhi soon met an even stronger person and immediately dumped the young cultivator.

  Then, Yan Zhen didn't stay in the Qingfeng Xianmen, but later it was known that Yan Xiaozi changed hands and jumped several times, finding men who were stronger than each other. In the end, she became famous in the Xiuxian world, known as the Purple Fallen Female Swordsman, but Yan Xiaozi's reputation was also ruined, and many people knew about this woman's style of doing things.

  To put it in one sentence, this woman is extremely beautiful but somewhat promiscuous, with a heart as slippery as a snake's scales. She has no loyalty to men and will jump ship the moment she finds someone stronger. A woman like her, no matter how beautiful, will find fewer and fewer people willing to take her on. Even those who dare to take her on don't have any genuine feelings for her; they just treat her as a plaything.

  In her past life, Ye Zhi initially got along extremely well with Zi Luo Sword Guest Yan Xiaozi. However, later on, she became increasingly miserable and was eventually killed by a man she had abandoned in the past, suffering 97 knife wounds all over her body, dying an extremely tragic death, completely destroying her beautiful appearance.

  In her past life, when Yan Zhen heard that Yan Xiaozi had died, she drank 97 cups of wine in one go. Yan Zhen was indeed such a person - if you treated me poorly, I would naturally treat you poorly, but I wouldn't be foolish enough to treat you well while you treated me poorly. Therefore, at this moment, when she saw Yan Xiaozi, Yan Zhen's heart only felt a cold laugh. In her past life, as a young girl with a fiery personality, she couldn't see through Yan Xiaozi's venomous heart hidden behind her pure and weak appearance, and was instead infatuated by it. But in this life, Yan Zhen's vision had broadened, her Daoist heart had solidified, how could she be infatuated by this woman? Towards Yan Xiaozi, Yan Zhen was completely disdainful.

  By Yan Xiaozhi's side stood a young man with a robust build, his eyebrows were extremely thick and his eyes gleamed like bronze bells, with a hint of cruelty between them. Yan Zhen naturally remembered this person's name, he was called Yan Hu, Yan Xiaozhi's paternal cousin. Yan Hu looked majestic, but in reality, he was an extremely selfish person. When Yan Xiaozhi and Yan Zhen were getting along well, he saw that Yan Zhen himself had weak abilities and no good family background, so he repeatedly advised Yan Xiaozhi not to be friends with Yan Zhen.

  Yan Hu looked down on Yan Zhen from the very beginning.

  Yan Xiaozhi's decision to throw herself into Ouyang Song's arms was also related to Yan Hu. Yan Hu had long since taken a liking to Ouyang Song's extraordinary strength, and Ouyang Song's unusual background, as well as his powerful connections in the Qingfeng Xianmen sect. Yan Hu played matchmaker between them.

  In his previous life, Yan Hu relied on his cousin Yan Xiaozhi to get by. As Yan Xiaozhi's fortunes rose, so did Yan Hu's. However, after Yan Xiaozhi's death, Yan Hu was immediately abandoned and left without support. During his time in power, he had offended too many people, and when he fell out of favor, he was killed by a group of people with swords.

  In this life, Yan Xiaozhi and Yan Hu came together, with ill intentions.
