In the inner sect of Crimson Sky Peak, the suspected theft of a disciple's pill is a serious matter.
Moreover, the Superior Grade Heart-Protection Pill, worth tens of thousands of mid-grade Spirit Stones, is no cheap item. To purchase this pill, Xiao Yifeng had to call in all his favors and borrow from everyone he could. He thought to himself that, as a Pill Master, if he could refine a Superior Grade Heart-Protection Pill, he could easily repay the debt.
When asked when the pill went missing, Xiao Yifeng hesitated, only able to say that the Heart-Protection Pill vanished from his storage bag without a trace.
He had not let go of the storage bag since returning from the mountain, and he even opened it to check when he entered the Azure Cloud Sect.
Yet, the pill mysteriously disappeared from his storage bag.
Daoist Qingxuan and the elders, who were ready to stand up for Xiao Yifeng, were left speechless upon hearing this. Sect Master Wu Duantian ordered a lockdown of the entire sect, demanding all disciples to present their belongings for inspection, but after a chaotic search, nothing was found.
"If I ever find out who stole my pill, I'll tear them to pieces!"
...
While Xiao Yifeng swore an oath to the heavens, Chen Huaian had already given the Superior Grade Heart-Protection Pill to Li Qingran.
"Achoo!"
"Who the hell is talking about ?" Chen Huaian sneezed three tis in a row, then quickly focused as he heard a notification from his phone.
[Please press the Qi Sea Acupoint with your left hand, channel energy to the Qi Sea Acupoint, and slide your fingers towards the Guanyuan Acupoint.]
[Please use your right hand to perform the ridian Opening Needle Technique.]
The image on the phone zood in, focusing on Li Qingran's waist and lower abdon.
At this mont, due to the influence of inner demons, Li Qingran was drenched in sweat, her thin shirt soaked through, making the already sowhat transparent fabric even more revealing. Chen Huaian could clearly see the enticing curve of her waist and the inner garnt resembling a small green skirt reaching her thighs, embroidered with what seed like a lotus leaf and a small frog. In the lower right corner of the inner garnt, the words "Li Qingran" were embroidered in a crooked manner.
"Could this be Li Qingran's handwriting?"
The romantic thoughts in Chen Huaian's mind vanished instantly upon seeing those dog-like scrawlings.
The style of this handwriting seed eerily familiar!
It looked just like the dog-paddle writing on his protective amulet and beaded bracelet...
Before he could take out the bracelet for comparison, the Qi Sea and Guanyuan Acupoints on Li Qingran's body began to glow with a faint golden light, guiding him to press them.
Chen Huaian pressed with his thumb and forefinger, feeling Li Qingran's body tremble slightly.
"This shouldn't hurt, right?" Chen Huaian thought to himself.
Unfortunately, he couldn't see Li Qingran's face and didn't know she was biting her red lips, her cheeks flushed with red spreading to her ears.
The screen was divided into two parts.
The left side showed below the waist, above the legs, and the right side showed above the waist, below the neck.
A series of acupoints on the right side lit up one after another, and Chen Huaian quickly perford the needle technique in sequence without a mont to spare.
...
...
Li Qingran struggled in the dark mire, her ears filled with mockery and insults. Her body felt entangled by countless invisible spider threads, her limbs and bones burning with pain, yet she couldn't move.
Daoist Qingxuan, Lu Changtian, Xiao Yifeng, Yun Zimo, Zhang Hanxiao, Mu Baishuang, and her fellow disciples from Azure Cloud Sect... all their faces turned into a massive wall of faces revolving around her, different faces, different voices, yet all with the sa expression, spewing the sa cold and cruel words from their gaping mouths.
"Li Qingran, you think you can break through the Foundation Establishnt stage? Ridiculous!"
"Slut, you deserve to have your cultivation abolished!"
"Get out of Azure Cloud Sect, get out of Azure Cloud Sect!"
"Sister, soone like you doesn't deserve to live."
...
The ringing in her ears was like a blade slicing through her brain.
Her chaotic thoughts boiled like water, mixed with the buzzing, hurtful words, exploding in her mind.
Her soul seed to be pulled away, the idle gossip piercing through like needles, leaving her riddled with holes.
Every inch of her bones felt trampled and crushed, along with her dignity and self.
She even began to doubt her own existence.
She reached out desperately, trying to touch sothing to prove her existence, but all she felt was cold emptiness.
The faces ca closer and closer.
She could no longer hear the voices from the gaping mouths, only seeing them open and close, about to swallow her whole and tear her to pieces.
"No..."
"Soone... save ..."
Clang—!
In the darkness, a clear sword hum rang out.
Like a sweet spring falling into the mire, it washed away all the buzzing noise.
A line of light tore through the darkness, shining in.
"Li Qingran!" soone called her na.
Li Qingran struggled to open her eyes.
She saw all the heads surrounding her stop their insults.
They stared in shock, a line slicing horizontally through their heads,
Flas spewed from the gradually opening line, burning them into twisted, fragnted pieces,
Then, they shattered with a roar!
"Li Qingran!"
The voice ca closer.
Amidst the flying ashes, she could only vaguely see a figure.
The person stood behind the smoke, holding a sword, their face obscured,
But their black robe billowed, white hair cascading like a waterfall, a majestic five-clawed black dragon with golden eyes swirling around them.
"Senior..."
Li Qingran gazed at the person, her eyes dazed.
A sense of peace swept away the chaotic thoughts in her mind.
The darkness seed to retreat quickly, fearing the person's majesty.
...
Li Qingran opened her eyes, still in the small room.
The terrifying scenes before were rely illusions caused by inner demons.
Now she was almost drenched, feeling a strange sensation in her lower abdon and waist.
Looking down, her face turned red to the ears—two golden hands of spiritual energy were pressing on the acupoints of her waist and abdon, the left hand channeling energy, the right hand using spiritual energy as needles for acupuncture, the acupuncture points tingling with a sensation that made her want to gasp.
But she held back, imdiately closing her mouth and holding her breath.
The senior was helping her channel energy, she couldn't disturb him.
So Li Qingran silently watched the soft flesh on her abdon and waist sink and bounce back with the pressing of those two hands. She lowered her head, biting her lower lip, the red on her ears spreading to her neck, her hands twisting the hem of her clothes, her fingers turning white from the force. Her feet shuffled back and forth on the ground, wishing she could find a hole to hide in.
"Oh no, the senior saw my inner garnt, how embarrassing..."
"Why did I embroider lotus leaves and frogs on it... the senior must think I'm childish..."
"Li Qingran, you're so stupid, really..."
"Ugh, I'm dood, I don't know how I'll face the senior in the future..."
Thanks to Chen Huaian's actions, the matter of inner demons seed less important.
The girl's mind was filled with thoughts of how to behave in front of the senior in the future.
Even when Chen Huaian finished the needle technique, Li Qingran was still lost in various awkward scenarios for the future, not realizing it.
"Phew, it's done, her cultivation realm is preserved."
Chen Huaian breathed a sigh of relief seeing Li Qingran still at the Great Perfection stage of Qi Refining.
The effect of the Superior Grade Heart-Protection Pill was to stabilize cultivation.
Originally, the backlash from inner demons was severe, and even the Heart-Protection Pill might not fully preserve the realm, but with the combination of his Chen "Pay-to-Win" Immortal Lord's ridian Opening Needle Technique and exclusive acupoint massage skills, the backlash from inner demons was a piece of cake.
"Next, I need to find a way to resolve the inner demon problem."
Chen Huaian frowned.
According to the Heavenly Secret deduction, Li Qingran needed to return to Azure Cloud Sect to sever the cause and effect.
To be honest, if he had a choice, he wouldn't want Li Qingran to return to Azure Cloud Sect and take the risk.
Unfortunately, the ga's plot design left him no other options.
Li Qingran would likely be in danger if she returned...
And he was out of money.
Just as Chen Huaian was racking his brains on what to do next.
Knock knock knock—!
Soone suddenly knocked on the door outside the small room,
Followed by a cold voice:
"Li Qingran, open the door, I know you're in there."
