Volume 3: A drop in the ocean Chapter 24: The rosy face attracts people

Inside the Hanyuan Hall, the imperial physician was concentrating on performing his ancestral skills. He squinted his eyes, stretched out both hands, and shot the last few marrow-washing golden needles from his fingertips. Without even a closer look, the golden needles that had just been quenched under the lamp had already been inserted into the Baihui, Tiantu and Lianquan acupoints of the woman in front of him with incredible precision!
The speed and accuracy of his moves are breathtaking.
Unfortunately, the person who received the injection was not feeling well at this time. Sitting powerlessly on the couch, Peng Lili felt as if the tendons and veins in his body were torn apart one by one by a powerful force. The heart-wrenching pain made Peng Lili want to scream, but his throat was so dry that it was about to spit fire, and he could not utter a single syllable no matter how hard he tried. He could only gasp and groan silently with his mouth open.
Sweat beads rolled down his forehead, his vest was already soaked, his brows were twisted into a straight line, his lower lip was bitten so hard that it bled, and his whole body was shaking uncontrollably...
Perhaps being unable to live, and unable to die, is the best way to describe Ping Lili's current appearance.
Seeing her in so much pain, Long Yu, who was standing beside her, was extremely anxious. He wished he could take action immediately to relieve her pain with his own spiritual power. However, he did not dare to act rashly. After all, the art of healing was not his forte. If he took action without waiting for the imperial physician to give the order, he was afraid that he would harm her instead.
The imperial physician was also frowning at this time. From the moment he threw out all the golden needles for marrow cleansing, the woman's reaction was beyond his imagination. If she was a normal person, she shouldn't be in such pain. His ancestral golden needles for marrow cleansing could not only open up the eight extraordinary meridians, but also had a sufficient amount of anesthetic in the needles. If she was a normal person, she would have lost consciousness in an instant, or her limbs would have become numb. Then he could forcefully use the golden needles as a guide to open up the other person's Ren and Du meridians.
However, looking at the woman's reaction at this moment, the anesthetic was actually useless to her?
What on earth is going on?
The doctor's cold sweat dripped down his temples, as if he could sense the sharp gaze from the side. He knew that he was in a difficult situation and had no way out. He gritted his teeth and thought that he would be sorry for the girl. Even if the anesthetic wore off, he could only force the golden needle to open up her Ren and Du meridians before making any plans! However, even a seven-foot-tall man might not be able to endure the excruciating pain. I wonder if this girl...
The imperial physician didn't dare to think about it any further, but he had no other choice at this moment. He sighed deeply in his heart and could only pray that the girl would be lucky enough to survive this disaster, otherwise, he would have to be buried with her...
He prayed in his heart for a miracle to happen, even though he didn't quite believe that this girl could endure such a heart-wrenching pain...
He resolutely stretched out a finger and slowly pressed on the Tianzong acupoint on the shoulder of Ying Lili, slowly sending the spiritual power in his body into...
Gong Lili, who was almost fainting from the pain, now felt an even stronger force slowly flowing into her veins and running around wildly, as if it was going to break all the veins in her body. If it weren't for her basic , she would have even begun to doubt whether he was trying to save her or kill her. This situation where life was worse than death made her want to end her life.
But Yao Ji's voice echoed in his mind: "No matter what, you must live!"
Yes, no matter what, she had to live on. This was just the beginning... She would never succumb to this damn fate!
no way!
At this moment, Ping Lili was almost relying on the persistent belief in her heart and the belief in wanting to live to support herself, preventing herself from doing anything irreversible and crazy in such heart-wrenching pain.
Looking at the beads of sweat the size of ground beans rolling down the pale face of the woman in front of him, her lips that had been bitten purple and stained with blood, and her golden brown eyes that seemed to be trying their best to open wide, Long Yu's heart tightened and he felt a heart-wrenching pain.
This woman is even more stubborn and strong than before.
Thinking of this, Long Yu turned his head away. No one would have thought that the prince of the Ruoye tribe, who was used to seeing killings and killing countless people in the virtual world, and made countless children cry at the mention of his name, could not bear to look at the strong appearance of this weak old friend at this moment...
The imperial physician seemed not to have expected that this woman would have such a strong mind. If it were someone else, she would have been in excruciating pain and wanted to die. But she was able to endure it and had such a clear mind and eyes. It was truly amazing!
If this girl can escape this disaster, she will probably become a remarkable figure in the future!
Feeling that all the tendons and veins in her body had been opened by him, the imperial physician gathered his thoughts, nodded slightly to the Crown Prince who turned his head away, and said softly: "Your Highness, let's begin."
Long Yu immediately turned around and slowly walked behind Ying Lili, slightly straightened her limp body, then lifted up his crescent-colored robe, sat cross-legged behind her, and then snapped his ten fingers, and thousands of green threads formed by spiritual energy continuously flowed into Ying Lili's body.
The imperial physician was also sitting cross-legged in front of Ying Lili at this time. He was drawing in the air, his pen moving like a dragon, and carefully using the wonderful technique of drawing in the air to manipulate the golden needles for cleansing the marrow that had already been inserted into Ying Lili's body.
The technique was as cautious as threading a needle, because he knew that the girl herself had no cultivation, and her tendons and veins were very thin, and her eight extraordinary meridians were so small that they were almost invisible. Therefore, he did not dare to act rashly. He could only rely on His Highness to slowly inject pure spiritual power to slowly push the marrow cleansing golden needle in, and conduct an unprecedented attempt bit by bit...
In this state, it is extremely risky to use the marrow-cleansing golden needle to forcibly open the Ren and Du meridians. It can be said to be a fantasy. If it weren't for the fact that Gong Lili's condition was really not optimistic and he had to give it a try, the imperial physician would never make such a shocking attempt. Now he can only bite the bullet and challenge his own limits.
Those golden needles seemed to have life under the stimulation of several pure spiritual powers. With the continuous input of spiritual power, those marrow-cleansing golden needles actually began to wander freely in the eight extraordinary meridians of Ping Lili. At the beginning, Ping Lili only felt that the tendons and veins in her body tightened, and her body twitched involuntarily, as if a kitten from nowhere was constantly scratching each of her tendons with its sharp claws, or as if she was being eaten by thousands of ants. The pain penetrated into the tendons and veins through every pore, excruciating her heart.
For a moment, Pinglili even doubted that she could not hold on any longer.
The pain brought about by forcibly opening the Ren and Du meridians in such a physical state is too much to bear for a weak woman like Gong Lili who has almost no cultivation. Even a seven-foot-tall man with a firm mind and a certain level of cultivation would probably not be able to withstand it, and would feel the urge to seek death immediately.
Long Yu behind her seemed to sense that something was wrong with her. His emerald green eyes slightly closed, and a determination suddenly appeared in his eyes. Then he slightly bent his right index finger, and three rays of light flew out from his fingertips. One was light purple, one was ice blue, and one was pure white. They circled endlessly, each showing its own mystery. The flowing light gradually formed a thin curtain, covering the entire body of Ying Lili...
The imperial physician saw it clearly at this moment and actually gasped!
The three clear lights were clearly His Highness's own spiritual energy and essence. It was a treasure that the Ruoye tribe had cultivated for thousands of years to obtain. The deeper the essence, the higher the cultivation level. At this time, His Highness actually used his spiritual energy and essence to save her, which was almost like he was using his own cultivation to exchange for her life. What was the identity of this woman? Why did His Highness treat her like this?
Although the imperial physician was greatly shocked by the scene just now, his instinct as a doctor prevented him from doing anything inappropriate. He seemed to be aware of the importance of the person in front of him to His Highness. He dared not hold back any longer and hurriedly activated the golden marrow cleansing needle for a final attempt!
A magical thing happened. As his body was slowly covered by the thin curtain, Ping Lili suddenly found that the heart-wrenching pain in his body began to fade away, and was replaced by a warm feeling. At this time, in Ping Lili's body, those side meridians that were originally too thin to be seen, gradually grew bigger under the effect of the wandering golden marrow-washing needles, just like countless branches of trees after the spring rain, and finally through the ends of the branches, a steady stream of spiritual power was injected into the eight extraordinary meridians, and then, like rivers converging into the sea, they went straight to the Ren and Du meridians!
In the blink of an eye, the Ren and Du meridians of Pinglili were forcefully opened by the golden marrow cleansing needle infused with pure spiritual power. Pinglili's body trembled immediately, and he suddenly felt an indescribable sense of comfort in his body. The feeling of all his meridians seemed to be different from before. His whole body was indescribably comfortable, and the originally damaged internal organs seemed to have been magically repaired. At this moment, Pinglili actually felt as refreshed as if he was reborn!
This marrow-cleansing golden needle was originally a secret technique passed down from generation to generation by the Ruoye tribe since ancient times. This secret technique uses the golden needle as a medium and external spiritual power as a supplement to forcibly help people refine their own tendons, veins and bones, thereby improving their spiritual veins and cultivation. It is an extraordinary thing in itself!
Just now, Long Yu was so eager to save people that he actually sent out some of the spiritual energy and essence he had cultivated for thousands of years. These two unparalleled powers gathered in Ping Lili's body at the same time, and actually opened her Ren and Du meridians in an instant, making the eight extraordinary meridians in her body suddenly become flexible and deep, almost surpassing the highest strength level of tendons and veins that ordinary humans can achieve.
So at this moment, Ying Lili was like being reborn. She slowly stretched out her hand and was pleasantly surprised to find that she could move freely! She cleared her throat again and surprisingly felt very comfortable. She turned around with great joy and wanted to say something to thank her best friend who had pulled her back from the brink of death. But before she could open her mouth, he spoke first. After confirming that she was fine, the best friend breathed a sigh of relief and smiled faintly: "Welcome back, Yao Ji..."
Ping Lili was stunned for a few seconds, tears flashed in her golden brown eyes, but soon those golden brown eyes were stained with a hint of teasing. She smiled back at him, but the words she said almost made the other person's jaw drop to the ground: "I'm not Yao Ji, my name is Ping Lili..."
Then, in the momentary astonishment of the old friend, Pinglili laughed, winked at him playfully, and finally uttered the words that had been buried in her heart for a long time: "Long Yu, I'm back..."
interesting.
This interesting old friend finally came back. Long Yu didn't know that his brows had not been so gentle for a long time.
The world has changed so much that it has been five hundred years since we met again...
