Chapter 1100: Seclusion and Self-Torture
The next day.
After explaining to everyone, Liu Zixuan prepared enough food and water for a while and went straight to the depths of the back mountain of Lingxiu Village, which was the cave where he initially found the Little Blue’s Inner Alchemy.
Looking at Little Blue in the corner, curled up in a ball still in a deep sleep, uncertain of when she would awaken.
After placing the things he brought, Liu Zixuan searched for a giant stone at the entrance. Under the control of his Inner Strength, he directly blocked the cave passage.
"Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles, Holy Medical Scripture, Power of the Dragon Veins, Relic Pearl."
Looking at the items in front of him, Liu Zixuan slightly raised the corner of his mouth, then sat cross-legged, and casually threw a few inconspicuous treasures found in the Relic Pearl around him.
With his hands forming seals, a small Defense Array was formed. Although this place is secluded and few people knew about it, precautions must be taken just in case, as any slight disturbance during such a retreat could result in failure or even insanity.
After the formation of the array, Liu Zixuan placed the Relic Pearl aside, reciting the incantations of the Holy Medical Scripture, and began to channel the Power of the Dragon Veins within his Sea of Consciousness.
As time passed, approximately an hour later, Liu Zixuan’s entire body emitted a faint golden Qi, and suddenly his eyes snapped open, two beams of light shot out directly from his eyes.
The Profound Yang Needle and Profound Yin Needle both flew up, instantly transforming into two streams of Qi that entered Liu Zixuan’s acupoints.
Seeing this, Liu Zixuan smiled slightly: "Using the Power of the Dragon Veins to transform the Silver Needles into Qi, this method truly is incredibly miraculous."
Aunt Yao said that this isn’t a complicated technique, so Liu Zixuan operates it quite easily. After the Yin and Yang Ghost Gate Needles completely dissolve into the meridians, Liu Zixuan then manipulates the Profound Thunder Needle, Profound Cloud Needle, Profound Spirit Needle, and Profound Pure Needle, introducing the four Silver Needles into his limbs’ acupoints.
Another two hours pass, and the previous six Ghost Gate Needles have already completely merged with the meridians.
Sweat poured from Liu Zixuan’s forehead like rain, and the golden Qi around him became even denser.
He thought he could quickly introduce all thirteen Ghost Gate Needles into the meridians, but after just six were merged, his entire body felt like it was going to explode, making him dare not continue.
His hands moved slowly, hastily using the power of the Holy Medical Scripture to repair the scorched meridians, while also injecting the Power of the Dragon Veins into the meridians.
At this point, he must not be frugal with his Inner Strength and the Power of the Dragon Veins. If he is careless and his body explodes, it would truly be a great loss.
Unknown how much time passed, Liu Zixuan’s aura weakened and strengthened repeatedly, enough for ten cycles, and the light in the crevice of the giant stone at the passage gradually faded, indicating that a day had passed.
"Hoo!"
A breath of turbid air let out from his mouth, the stabbing and burning pain brought to the meridians by the previous six Ghost Gate Needles finally eased.
"Qiankun Double Needles, enter my body, Baihui as Heaven and Earth, Yongquan as Nether Spirit."
After Liu Zixuan shouted, he shouted again, "Enter!"
In an instant, the Qiankun, Heaven and Earth, and Nether Spirit four Silver Needles directly shot towards his body.
The reason he paused for so long earlier was to gamble and see if he could accept four Ghost Gate Needles of similar attributes entering the meridians at once.
The Qian Needle trembled mid-air, transformed into a silver thread, and directly entered his Taiyuan Acupoint, the Kun Needle followed in another direction, with a swish entering the Middle Cavity Acupoint.
The Heaven and Earth Silver Needle and Nether Spirit Silver Needle entered the Baihui Acupoint at the top of the head, and the Yongquan Acupoint at the bottom of the feet, just as the formula described.
In a moment, Liu Zixuan completely lost control over his body, and his entire being floated up.
Inside his body now, it was like a battlefield; the four Ghost Gate Needles Qiankun, Heaven and Earth, and Nether Spirit entered the critical acupoints of the body, causing the previous Ghost Gate Needles to stir up in the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, as if they were about to fight each other.
The Power of the Dragon Veins is strong but was ultimately not a physical entity. As the Ghost Gate Needles transformed into Qi and entered the body, they were still substantial, so the Power of the Dragon Veins simply could not suppress them!
Phoom!
During the clash between the Ghost Gate Needles and the Power of the Dragon Veins, Liu Zixuan spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his complexion instantly turning pale.
He was indeed very weak, but his body was completely out of control at this moment, floating in the air, observing the fierce battle of the Silver Needles within, at this moment Liu Zixuan wished he could just die.
This kind of pain, no ordinary person could bear!
Now, he can only comfort himself, that starting is always difficult, and when doing this kind of thing again later, it will be much easier.
The raging Ghost Gate Needles seemed to have tired out, slowly calmed down, Liu Zixuan finally managed to catch his breath, with a thud he fell to the ground, thinking about having a smoke to rest, but upon looking down, he spat another mouthful of old blood.
His clothes have been completely dyed blood red, tearing open his clothes revealed that it was as if all the capillaries on his body were pierced, all oozing with fresh blood.
Liu Zixuan widened his eyes: "Damn, will I bleed to death!"
"Crack!"
As he hurriedly tried to stand up, the joints in his knees made a crisp sound, causing Liu Zixuan to fall forward.
"Hiss!"
Liu Zixuan grimaced, reaching out to touch his legs, they had already gone numb.
Sure enough, his legs were broken!
"Damn it, before retreating, I knew this time healing the Netherworld Palm Injury and breaking through the realm would be extremely difficult, but I didn’t expect this outcome, what the hell, outsiders might think I came here not to retreat but to self-harm!"
Knowing his current condition, although the surface was bleeding, and both legs were broken, there was no threat to his life, but this realization made Liu Zixuan both laugh and cry.
First, things went far beyond his expectations, this was only ten Ghost Gate Needles, the last three most unique and mysterious Ghost Gate Needles have not been used yet; he truly dared not imagine if using them would directly cost him his life.
Second, things have already started, and there’s no way to stop, but what should he do now?
Should he continue to gamble, or what should he do?
While he was in a dilemma, there came growling noises from his stomach.
Earlier, knowing this retreat would be very turbulent, fearing the food might be destroyed, upon entering he placed the food and water in the corner, now with both legs broken, how can he fetch them?
Poking his forehead: "Damn, I’ve never been defeated by an enemy, but today I was defeated by myself. Who would believe this when told!"
"Roar!"
Just at this moment, Little Blue, who was lying motionless, suddenly made a move with its body, letting out a low roar. Liu Zixuan’s heart rejoiced, quickly calling out to Little Blue: "Little Blue, quickly help me!"
PS: I’m recommending an incredibly exciting and powerful book to everyone, called "The Strongest Student in the Three Realms."
