Zombie Bodyguard-Chapter 1542 - 1539: A Blessing in Disguise

Ling Shuiyao glanced mischievously at Situ Ming, looking rather gleeful, thinking how quickly a slap in the face has come, and how unlucky Situ Ming truly is.

The others, due to their positions, wanted to laugh but couldn’t, leaving Situ Ming with an embarrassed face. He could only divert attention by saying, "Why has Master Tang come out?"

Master Tang directly said, "Lin Tian says the treatment requires quiet."

"But Little Xiao is Yu Feng’s fiancée, being alone in a room with a young man is very inappropriate." Situ Ming protested.

Before Master Tang could answer, Ling Shuiyao, with her quick temper, couldn’t tolerate his grumbling, and snorted, "In ancient royal families, the male imperial physicians even treated the Queen and concubines, huh, getting so anxious over a treatment, as a senior, your measure is really too small."

"What do you know, you meddlesome little girl!" Situ Ming flicked his sleeve, unable to stop himself from rebuking her. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"I may be a little girl, but I understand reason, unlike some people’s small measure. Speaking of which, who Sister Xiao will marry in the future is uncertain, don’t keep saying she’s someone’s fiancée. This isn’t ancient times, the only legal marriage in modern society is the marriage certificate issued by the civil affairs bureau." Ling Shuiyao retorted, the little girl not afraid of even Lin Tian the Pharmacist, let alone Situ Ming.

"Hum..." Situ Ming responded coldly but didn’t argue further, firstly because he was wary of the Ling family’s status, and secondly as an elder, endlessly arguing with a junior would lose him face, especially in front of these significant figures.

"Actually, there’s really no need for you to argue. Lin Tian, as an inheritor of Ghost Valley, surely possesses some secret techniques that cannot be shared. We outsiders indeed may not be suitable to be present." Wang Wanxi said seemingly to mediate, yet was actually speaking for Lin Tian, but her reasoning was impeccable, leaving Situ family to have no choice but to endure.

"Aunt Wang is right. I’ve known Lin Tian for a long time, and have seen his Nine Needle Technique, indeed it is extraordinary." Ghost also chimed in, the mention of the Nine Needle Technique brought a silence among those present, each deep in thought.

At this moment inside the pavilion, Lin Tian holding Xiao Manxue had already arrived at the top floor, which was a quiet room. Upon entering, he was greeted by a large hanging scroll painting.

"Kunlun Travel..."

Lin Tian was instantly drawn to the scroll, the painting presented a unique artistic conception, the sky high and the earth vast, between the boundless heavens and earth, man is so small, even if the man is an Innate Realm expert.

However, this artistic conception was fleeting, Lin Tian didn’t have time to savor it, his gaze moved elsewhere, in the spacious quiet room, besides the scroll and meditation cushion, there was only a corner resting couch, more like a beauty couch, but made of bamboo, giving a fresh and natural vibe.

The setup of the quiet room was so simple it surprised Lin Tian, besides these objects, not even a book was present, what kind of artistic conception does one have in this place?

Lin Tian placed Xiao Manxue flat on the couch, seeing the trace of blood at the corner of her mouth, an inexplicable pain arose within him.

"Miss, your pressure is too great..." Lin Tian sighed softly while removing the golden thread from his wrist.

Xiao Manxue with emotional turmoil, her mood a mess, causing the True Qi to rebel, thus she coughed up blood and fainted. Though there’s no danger to life, if not treated timely, it’s very likely her skills might regress.

Back then Wang Wanxi fell back from her skill level under the dual blow of body and mind, ordinary people with emotional turmoil at most faint, but for ancient martial artists, it’s very dangerous.

Lin Tian flicked the golden thread, accurately piercing it into Xiao Manxue’s chest position. At this time her True Qi was chaotic, the first priority was to protect the heart meridian to prevent further damage, then proceed with further treatment.

The treatment sounds simple, through acupuncture, stimulating meridian acupoints, guiding the scattered True Qi back to the Dantian, but doing so is much more complex, controlling the True Energy of a Postnatal Perfection expert alone is no easy task.

Luckily, the Nine Needle Technique isn’t just for show. After piercing the chest, Lin Tian then pierced the Bai Hui acupoint, which is the contact point between the governor and conception vessels, often called the small circulation in cultivation. When True Qi circulates a loop along the governor and conception vessels, it’s a small circulation.

Governor and conception vessels connect the three Dantians: Upper, Middle, and Lower Dantians, as long as the True Qi circulation for the small circulation is regulated, the chaotic True Qi in other meridians can be resolved.

True Qi circulates not only via the small circulation but also via the grand circulation, when True Qi circulates a loop through governor and conception vessels, Eight Extraordinary Meridians, and Twelve Regular Meridians, it’s a grand circulation.

Lin Tian concentrated fully on performing the needle technique, Miss occasionally frowned showing signs of pain, at other times relaxed her brow showing signs of comfort.

This was due to Lin Tian leading the True Qi, her internal True Qi clashed causing her pain, but it’s a necessary process in rectifying the chaos.

True Qi followed Lin Tian’s acupuncture guidance, slowly circulating along the circulation paths. Initially, chaotic True Qi was abundant, orderly True Qi was scarce, making the beginning of guidance the most difficult.

But with True Qi slowly circulating, the True Qi of the circulation absorbed the chaotic True Qi, strengthening itself, like a snowball effect, orderly True Qi slowly strengthened, eventually becoming an unstoppable force.

As orderly True Qi strengthened, it didn’t even need Lin Tian’s deliberate push, it steadily ran along circulation meridians, chaotic True Qi in Xiao Manxue’s body continued to reduce, an hour later, all True Qi was incorporated into the circulation meridians.

Suddenly, her Dantian trembled, releasing a strong thrust, Lin Tian’s golden thread was forcibly pushed out, simultaneously, her True Qi commenced self-running along the circulation paths.

Starting with small circulation, then the grand circulation, completing one large and one small loop, then repeating in such cycles. With each cycle, Xiao Manxue’s True Qi seemed to purify a bit more.

Such cycles occurred eighty-one times, eventually, the spontaneous True Qi running stopped, at this moment, all of Xiao Manxue’s True Qi returned to the Dantian, upon observation, it seemed the amount of True Qi decreased, but Lin Tian could tell her True Qi had become more refined.

Lin Tian withdrew his penetrating gaze, stored the golden thread, and at that moment, Xiao Manxue’s long eyelashes fluttered, then she slowly opened her eyes.

At the instant of opening her eyes, the room seemed filled with a sharp aura, her gaze like a sword, Miss advancing another step towards Innate Early Stage.

Xiao Manxue woke up fully, firstly sensing the more vigorous True Qi in her Dantian, a flash of puzzlement in her eyes.

"No need to think about it, you found fortune in your misfortune, not only did you organize your True Qi, but also purified it. Next time when you try to break through to Innate Realm, your chances of success will be greater." Lin Tian explained.

Xiao Manxue turned her head, seeing only Lin Tian in the room, couldn’t help but ask, "Was it you using the Nine Needle Technique to treat me?"

"Of course, you were the one who fainted." Lin Tian admitted.

"But why did you undo my clothes?" Xiao Manxue looked down, seeing her own shirt wide open, her pretty face instantly flushed.
