No, buddy.
Is it over already?
Not even bothering to cover up anymore!?
“I know you can hear me! From now on, stop controlling my phone and prohibit spying on my privacy, otherwise I will sue you!”
Chen Huaian’s tone was serious, Chen Huaian was furious.
[Since the meridian-opening needles are very dangerous, applying them on suitable targets will greatly improve the proficiency of using the meridian-opening needles.]
[This application of the needle can gain 20% proficiency, reducing the probability of disability caused by the meridian-opening needles by 20%.]
[The effect of the meridian-opening needles is powerful, it can help your electronic girlfriend accelerate her cultivation, and also stabilize the foundation of cultivators.]
Chen Huaian frowned as he looked at the three game prompts.
Chen Huaian calmed down, his eyes unconsciously fell on his right leg.
Seems like… it might not be impossible~
Anyway, his right leg was already disabled, so what difference would it make if it got worse?
Besides, it’s just a game item! Would it really cause disability? Alarmist nonsense!
[What is this kid up to again?]
The black cat crawled out of the box and jumped onto the sofa, watching Chen Huaian next door constantly tapping on his phone. It needed to get closer to Chen Huaian to absorb the spiritual energy emitted by the spirit stones, but it didn’t dare to get too close, fearing being punished by the ancestral dragon on Chen Huaian’s body.
[Staring at that black box all day… Wait, could it be possible that all the good things this kid has obtained come from this black box?]
The black cat cautiously moved closer, but could only see a pitch-black screen on the phone, making its suspicions grow stronger.
[If my hypothesis is correct, then as long as I get hold of this black box, all his opportunities will be mine!]
It might be precisely because of this black box that this human received the protection of the ancestral dragon.
Because it didn’t notice anything special about Chen Huaian.
The black cat moved closer again, one eye staring at the phone, the other keeping an eye on Chen Huaian’s back.
Suddenly, Chen Huaian picked up the set of silver needles.
The black cat was stunned for a moment, thinking that Chen Huaian had finally decided to give it acupuncture.
The next second, it saw Chen Huaian brutally stab the silver needles into his own right leg.
Black Cat: “???”
“Aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!” A heart-wrenching scream echoed throughout the entire hotel.
Fortunately, it was already noon; if it were in the morning, other guests would definitely have come knocking.
“My goodness, that much pain?” Chen Huaian glanced at where he had stabbed himself; that area of skin had already turned purple.
But soon he realized something was off.
He couldn’t feel anything in the place he had stabbed before!
Now he could actually feel such obvious pain, doesn’t that mean the needles were taking effect?
Just a bit of pain, does Chen Huaian fear pain?
After inserting several more needles continuously, seeing Chen Huaian indulging in self-harm, the black cat crouched low, preparing to snatch the phone.
At the moment the last needle went down, the black cat also ‘meowed’ and pounced towards the phone beside Chen Huaian’s thigh.
However, Chen Huaian’s originally fractured leg suddenly jerked up at the instant the needle landed, fast as lightning, delivering a violent knee strike directly to the black cat.
“Meow?!?”
Pang ————!
The black cat flew through the air in a parabolic trajectory and ended up right back in the shoebox, with the lid closing automatically.
“Hey! Although it hurts, I can feel it!” Chen Huaian touched his right leg, looking surprised.
The effect of the meridian-opening needles is to smooth the meridians and connect the blood qi.
His leg lost sensation mainly due to fractures and tumors pressing, using the meridian-opening needles for treatment was exactly appropriate, or perhaps it was countering poison with poison, luckily producing results.
“By the way, did I hit something with my knee just now?”
Chen Huaian scratched his head and looked around.
Just now, his attention was all on the acupoints, he didn’t pay any attention to the surroundings.
“Never mind, maybe it was my illusion.”
…
Cangyun Realm.
Ever since she obtained the supreme dantian, Li Qingran’s cultivation speed could be described as progressing by leaps and bounds. Last night, she broke through to the eighth level of the Qi Condensation stage, and by the afternoon today, she was already advancing towards the great completion of the Qi Condensation stage. This was partly due to the supreme dantian’s contribution, and also because she lacked Spirit Roots. At this moment, the five elements of spiritual energy were quietly residing in her dantian, appearing quite intimidating in quantity.
Cultivators with Spirit Roots can convert all the spiritual energy they gather from the world into spiritual energy corresponding to their Spirit Root attributes.
For example, a Fire Spirit Root cultivator can transform all the five-element spiritual energy into pure fire spiritual energy.
And the spiritual energy attribute must match the Spirit Root to produce the greatest power; if the Spirit Root and the used spiritual energy are mutually destructive within the five elements, it will cause chaos in the spiritual energy and result in danger; some cultivation techniques and internal energy methods have requirements for the cultivator’s Spirit Root attributes; when cultivators exchange internal energy during practice, they must choose those with similar Spirit Roots, meaning both parties must have at least one common type of Spirit Root to achieve the blending of spiritual energy.
Therefore, in the cultivation world, single Spirit Roots are considered superior talents, variant Spirit Roots are even better, while five Spirit Roots and no Spirit Roots are regarded as the worst talents.
Cultivators with five Spirit Roots cultivate extremely slowly, almost unable to break through the Qi Condensation stage throughout their lives. Cultivators without Spirit Roots, although cultivating quickly, find it difficult to break through bottlenecks due to poor quality of spiritual energy, and their spell usage power is always weaker than other cultivators.
Breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage.
That bottleneck is like a dam across a river, wanting to breach the dam requires not only sufficient volume but also strong impact force.
A mix of impure spiritual energies obviously lacks sufficient impact force.
But just as she was nearing the breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment stage, she discovered that the supreme dantian brought her purer spiritual energy and a larger amount of spiritual energy than before!
“The supreme dantian given to me by the predecessor is truly incredible.”
Li Qingran internally observed her dantian, her shock was indescribable.
Before her cultivation was ruined, she was at the small accomplishment of the Foundation Establishment stage, but now the amount of spiritual energy in her dantian was already two or three times that of her peak moments! If she still had Spirit Roots and smoothly broke through the Foundation Establishment stage, wouldn’t she be equivalent to having the total spiritual energy of five or even more ordinary Foundation Establishment stage cultivators?!
“What’s the point of not having Spirit Roots? With the help of the predecessor, I can still continue moving forward on this path…”
Under Li Qingran’s control, the five-element spiritual energy inside her gradually began to boil, gathering towards the ‘river dam’ of the Foundation Establishment stage.
She was about to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage!
However, at this moment, a severe pain surged in her mind.
An endless darkness completely engulfed Li Qingran.
In a daze, she saw a green-robed elder standing in front of her —— it was Qingxuan Daoist, her former master.
“Li Qingran! Hurting your fellow disciples is unjust!”
“You practice our sect’s martial arts, yet you don’t strive for progress, trampling on my teachings, which is unfilial!”
“Being expelled to the outer sect, you still bully outer sect disciples, which is unkind!”
“Holding the internal energy method of Chiyun Decision, you even think of changing masters and joining another sect, which is disloyal!”
The daoist heart was obscured, heart demons grew.
The smiling mask couldn’t hide the grotesque scars.
A painful past isn’t easily covered up.
Qingxuan Daoist’s words rang like a bell in Li Qingran’s mind, dispersing the tide of spiritual energy that was about to break through the bottleneck.
The figure of Master Brother Lu Changtian appeared beside Qingxuan Daoist, his lips curling with a sneer:
“Li Qingran, someone who is disloyal, unfilial, unkind, and unjust, how dare you hope to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage? Pitiful and laughable!”
“Li Qingran, you actually hurt Junior Sister, I’ve misjudged you.” Third Brother Yun Zimo was full of disgust.
“Li Qingran, spit out all the pills and herbs I gave you, do you deserve them?” Second Brother Xiao Yifeng’s face was distorted with rage.
Fourth Brother Zhang Hanxiao stepped forward with his sword, his gaze fierce: “If you break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, I will surely cleanse the sect and erase you from this world entirely!”
“No, it’s not true, I didn’t intentionally injure Junior Sister, I didn’t slack in cultivation, nor did I oppress outer sect disciples, I didn’t…” Li Qingran hugged her head, shrinking in the cold darkness. She wanted to explain, but countless black hands reached out from the darkness, covering her mouth.
No one believed her words, no one listened carefully to what she said.
Just like that day during the sect competition when her junior sister was injured, she was struck off the arena by Lu Changtian’s angry palm. Her explanations were weak and powerless, her tears were seen as pretense and scheming. But she was clearly coughing blood, lying in the dust, while Mu Baishuang merely had a cut on her shoulder.
Isn’t Li Qingran also Lu Changtian’s junior sister?
Isn’t she also the junior sister of Chixiao Peak?
Isn’t she also Qingxuan Daoist’s disciple?
The onlookers reappeared, emerging from the darkness, clustering around the people of Chixiao Peak. She could only watch helplessly as they showed their disdain and hostility, pointing fingers; she could only hear their curses and mocking words.
“It was her who deliberately injured Junior Sister? What a despicable person!”
“How could Chixiao Peak have such a malicious disciple?”
“Probably jealous of Sister Mu Baishuang’s beauty, hahaha…”
“Such a person deserves death, should be driven out of the sect to feed the beasts in Wanqing Mountain!”
“Leave Bluecloud Sect! Leave Bluecloud Sect!!”
…
Sixth Sister Mu Baishuang hid behind everyone, leaning against Lu Changtian.
She stood in the light, shielded by everyone, like a protected little flower.
She smiled as she looked at Li Qingran, who was sobbing uncontrollably, and slightly moved her lips.
Only Li Qingran, deeply trapped in the darkness, could hear her voice:
“Sister Qingran… disappear.”
“A person like you doesn’t deserve to live.”
