Chapter 114: The Magic Needle Technique!

  Like last time, He Liancheng found the crystal core of the Cangyan giant snake and took good care of it. He Lianuo single-handedly picked up the weak Lan Yourou, and the four returned to their campsite together. He Liancheng simply checked Lan Yourou's injuries and found that she had only fainted due to excessive consumption of soul power and did not have any substantial injuries. Upon hearing his brother say that Lan Yourou was fine, He Lianuo finally put his mind at ease after being worried the whole time.

  After a long time, Lan You Ruo finally slowly came to, He Lian Nuo saw the situation and hurriedly used leaves to scoop up some clear water and brought it to her mouth. Lan You Ruo's face turned red, but she didn't refuse, opening her mouth to take small sips.

  "These two, getting more and more ambiguous, don't they see there's still a living person here?!" Mo Fei Bai teased with a sour tone. Because Lan You Ruo was weak, He Lian Nu had to take care of her, so all the work of gathering firewood and cleaning up the campsite fell on his shoulders. As for He Lian Shuo, he naturally went hunting again.

  After a long time, He Lian Shuo carried back a small-headed deer, cleaned and skinned the prey, and brought it to the bonfire. Then, he gathered the other three people together, took out two crystal nuclei, and said in a low voice: "The third test has passed for two days, and we have obtained two crystal nuclei without any danger. We still lack two more, and then we can complete the task. However, everyone must not relax. I accidentally discovered a few people who came to participate in the test with us on the outskirts of the forest earlier. I hid my figure, and they didn't find me. From their conversation, it can be known that they have also collected two crystal nuclei, just like us. It seems that our speed still needs to be accelerated."

  ！”

  "But now He Lian is injured, and You Ruo has just exhausted her soul power. We won't be able to take any action for at least the rest of today. How about this: let's all get a good rest today, and try to hunt down two Soul Beasts tomorrow to complete our mission? What do you think?"

  Mo Fei Bai pulled out a handkerchief from his sleeve and carefully wiped his hands clean. Through their interactions over the past two days, the other three had already discovered that Mo Fei Bai had an almost abnormal fondness for his own hands. Even after two battles, his white long shirt was stained with blood and dust, but his hands remained spotless.

  "Alright, let's hear Non-White's plan. Everyone, get a good rest today and conserve your strength for tomorrow's big push. He Lian and You Ruo, you two need to recover quickly - without you two, the pressure on me and Non-White is huge! He Lian smiled slightly, he also felt that completing the task as soon as possible would be safer. Previously, he had been holding back some strength, but if the other three couldn't complete the task tomorrow, he had already decided not to hide his true power anymore."

  He Lianuo didn't say a word, he was circulating the Xuan Lei Soul Force within his body to recover from his injuries. For ordinary people, it's said that "a hundred days for tendons and bones", and when the bone is broken, it needs a long period of rest to fully recover. But for soul masters, it's not that troublesome. This kind of injury isn't a big deal, and reconnecting the broken bones within a day was not a difficult task for He Lianuo, who had an abundance of Soul Force.

  Four people sat by the stream, slowly devouring a whole half-grown deer, and He Liancheng and Mo Feibai ate their fill and fell asleep early. The terrain here was hidden from view, and they had previously conducted a very thorough reconnaissance, so it was unlikely that they would encounter any danger, and therefore the four of them did not arrange to take turns keeping watch.

  He Lian'nuo leaned on his left arm, staring blankly at the fireflies dancing in the sky, not feeling sleepy at all. For some reason, when he saw those flashing lights floating in the air, he suddenly thought of Chong'er, who was far away in the Youyue Forest. Unlike Lan You'ruo, Chong'er was like a little sister to He Lian'nuo. The relationship between them was not familial, but it wasn't friendship either.

  He silently flipped over and pinched his right arm, which still had no sensation, just like before. Although it was only a bit awkward in daily life and didn't hinder him much, once he entered combat, he often felt at a loss with his right arm unable to move, making it difficult for him to exert his full strength.

  。

  "After going back this time, the first thing to do is to go to the hiding place of the Duan Jin clan to find the scattered Luo Tian and others, and then it's to heal this right arm!", He Lianuo muttered to himself, but as for how to cure this right arm that was almost completely scrapped, he had no idea at all.

  "Haven't you slept yet?" Just as Helianuo was tossing and turning, Lanyou's cold voice suddenly came over. Helianuo turned his head to look, only to see Lanyou lying at the other end of the bonfire, staring blankly at him with wide eyes.

  Although the two had already made amends, Helian You also risked his life to save Lan Youxu once before, but he still didn't expect Lan Youxu to take the initiative to talk to him. Dazed for a moment, he sat up and threw a few dry branches into the fire, saying in a low voice: "Can't sleep, don't know why, there are always many things appearing in my mind nonstop, maybe it's because I've encountered too many things recently!"

  Lan You suddenly heard the words and crawled up, walked to He Lian's side and sat down, two eyes staring blankly at the flames, also didn't know what was thinking.

  "How come you're still not asleep?", He Lian Nuo looked at the scene with a bit of chill, and started asking questions out of nowhere. It just so happened that this was his first one-on-one conversation with Lan You Ruo, and he really didn't know what kind of topic to bring up.

  "Just like you, a lot has happened recently and I feel a bit confused in my heart. By the way, I've been wanting to ask, what's wrong with your right arm?" Lan You Ruo stretched out her left hand and held it half-way up in the air, several bold fireflies landed on her palm, and one even flew in front of her eyes, flying back and forth without leaving. Lan You Ruo smiled sweetly, two shallow dimples appearing on her face.

  When he saw this scene, Helian also couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart. Lan You was the kind of quiet girl who, no matter what she did, gave people a warm and cozy feeling. This was completely opposite to her sister, Lan Youzhu, who was fiery and passionate all day long. Anyone who stayed by her side would easily be infected by her hot personality. These two sisters, one cold and one hot, each had their own unique flavor.

  He honestly told Lanyu Ruo about how his right arm was disabled, and Helian Nuo suddenly felt much better in his heart. Actually, this right arm had been a heart disease for him all along, but neither Gong Sun or Zhang Fang showed any concern about it, not even his brother Helian Shuo, who only occasionally asked about it once. Although he guessed that they had some reason, Helian Nuo still hoped that someone could comfort him a little, at least listen to his confession. But he didn't expect that in the end, the person willing to listen to his confession would be Lanyu Ruo, with whom he never got along!

  "Pull up your sleeves and let me take a look."

  !", Lan You approached Helian Nuo's side, stretched out her hand to untie Helian Nuo's sleeve, the latter suddenly dodged to one side and subconsciously covered his own chest.

  "What's wrong with you? I just want to check your injury and see if there's any way to salvage it. Don't forget, I'm the descendant of a hundred-year-old medical family!" Lan You smiled disdainfully and rolled up Helianuo's sleeve.

  Khaleno's eyes were fixed on Lan You Ruo, who was frowning slightly as she examined his right arm. As her name suggested, Lan You Ruo emitted a faint fragrance that was as elegant and refined as an orchid. The scent wafted up to Khaleno's nostrils, making his heart itch with curiosity.

  "Ah, the meridians are all destroyed, and although the bones have been connected, there are still many bone fragments that haven't been removed, and a large amount of stagnant blood remains. This arm... it's probably very difficult for spiritual energy to flow through it again!" Lan You Ruo muttered to herself as she took out a small cloth package from her bosom, opened it up, and revealed dozens of silver needles of varying sizes inside. She lightly picked one up, heated it over the fire for a moment, and then steadily inserted it into an acupoint on He Lian Nu's right arm.

  Because he had completely lost all feeling, Helianuo didn't feel any pain at all. He was just curious what Lanyu wanted to do. Could it be that these few dozen silver needles could completely cure his arm? Helianuo wasn't very optimistic.

  "Your arm injury is really too severe, when Grandfather Zhang brought you back to my house that day, my father and the others should have already taken a look at it. However, they couldn't do anything about it, which doesn't mean I'm helpless. What I'm using now is the half-volume of the Silver Needle technique that has been lost in our Lan family for generations. Although this half-volume technique can't cure your arm completely, it can help with the circulation of blood and qi in your body. Don't be too discouraged, as far as I know, there are many medical experts on the mainland who are even more powerful than our Lan family. Now that I've helped you unblock the flow of blood and qi, at least we can buy some time for you. Otherwise, if this continues, your arm will completely lose its chance to be cured."

  Lan You Ruo's fingers flew swiftly as she inserted over twenty silver needles into Helian No's right arm in an instant. After doing all this, Lan You Ruo's forehead was already covered with sweat beads, clearly, using this Silver Needle technique was still a bit too strenuous for her.

  "How is it? Is there any feeling?" Lan Youru wiped away her sweat and looked at Helianuo with a full face of expectation.

  "It seems... there's a numb feeling...", He Lian closed his eyes and carefully sensed it for a moment, then suddenly shouted out in surprise. Since being hit by Ling Xiao's Ice Fire Flowing Star, his right arm had lost all sensation, so having this numb feeling now was already a huge improvement!

  "That's great!", Lan Youzhu clapped her hands excitedly, and under the illumination of the flames, her delicate face was radiant like a flower!
