Chapter 358: The Result of Showing Off is Very Tragic
Luo Li’s expression darkened slightly, but he saw that Ling Chuxi remained calm and did not say anything. ‘Could it be that Master has some kind of strategy?’ Luo Li wondered in his heart curiously.
“Then I’ll have to trouble Master Sun,” Xiao Gaode said courteously. Actually, he already hated him to the extreme. Just now his diagnosis was to prepare for the afterlife, and he had even taken out a Transforming Life Pill to give his father to eat. Although he now knew of the situation, he still had no way to deal with it. Even Master Luo did not have a way, so what could he do? This person whose surname was Sun did indeed have some abilities in acupuncture. Now, he could only use the attitude of treating a dead horse as a live horse. Sigh…
Master Sun once again took Old Master Xiao’s pulse. Previously he was muddled and unable to find the critical juncture, but now with Luo Li’s reminder and with his entire concentration gathered, he could also feel that the chaotic qi was indeed not quite the same as the Battle Qi within Old Master Xiao’s body.
A moment later, Master Sun took out an old wooden box and opened it. Inside it, golden needles of different length were laid out neatly. Taking out a golden needle, Master Sun gathered his concentration and then pierced it into Old Master Xiao’s body.
Ling Chuxi’s eyes lit up. This box of golden needles were obviously a lot better in quality than the silver needles that she had bought. Master Sun had not lied either – from his actions, she could tell that this Golden Needles Soothing the Meridians was truly an advanced skill of their Sun family ancestral teachings.
Surprised exclamations could be heard all around as everyone admired Master Sun’s acupuncture skills.
Hearing the exclamations, Master Sun puffed out his chest in pride but suddenly, his expression changed. His whole body trembled, and then he was thrown backwards.
Thud! Master Sun landed against the wall heavily. The jade crown on his head broke into smithereens as his hair tumbled down messily. His face turned as grey as the wall behind him and he laid on the ground for a long time, unable to sit back up.
“Master Sun, are you alright? Master Sun, how are you?” The group of quacks immediately rushed to help Master Sun.
“I’m fine, I’m fine.” Master Sun’s face looked ashen as he waved his hand and said.
“Master Sun, do you still want to give it a try?” Ling Chuxi looked at Master Sun with a smile. This ending was one that she had already expected. That surge of spiritual energy of heaven and earth was so strong in Old Master Xiao’s body that even the Battle Qi of Great Fulfilment Pinnacle stage was unable to suppress it. How could Master Sun possibly withstand it? It was also lucky that it had merely overflowed just a bit through the golden needle, otherwise, he would have been shaken till he spat out blood. Who asked him to try and show off? He deserved it!
Xiao Tiangying and Xiao Tianfan also looked surprised. Besides Ling Chuxi, only the two of them felt the strength that had overflowed from the golden needle. Although it was just a little, it was not the qi belonging to the stages of the Great Fulfilment.
“Not trying anymore. I have not rested well these past few days, and my emotions are not calm,” Master Sun blurted out, trying to cover up his embarrassment.
“Then let me give it a try.” Ling Chuxi also saw that he had been shamed sufficiently and guessed that no one else would trouble themselves. She took out her silver needles.
This time when Ling Chuxi spoke, nobody dared to say anything. Her diagnosis was exactly the same as Master Luo’s and now she even dared to say such words after wtinessing such a scene. The crowd understood in their hearts that this young maiden was definitely not as simple as she appeared to be!
Xiao Tianfan looked at Ling Chuxi and truly could not imagine how this young maiden who looked quite a bit younger than himself had both strong cultivation and advanced medical skills. For himself, just cultivating alone was sufficient to use up all his time and energy. How on earth did she manage to do it?
