Against the Gods

"Who did you listen to?" Xia Qingyue asked with a cold brow, a shock in her heart. With the same profound strength, the life expectancy of people in Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace is much shorter than that of people from other sects. This is a cruel fact, and this is a secret even in Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace. The upper floors are hidden. And because the profound strength level of Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace is extremely high, the people in the Immortal Palace have a very long lifespan as a whole, so this fact is not too obvious.

The reason why Xia Qingyue knew was that her master said it absentmindedly after one of her breakthroughs, and told her that this was the biggest flaw of Frozen Cloud Art, and she strictly ordered her not to tell anyone, including senior and junior sisters. But now, Xiao Che said it all at once.

"If I were the Palace Master of Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace, I would definitely use all means to suppress this 'deficiency' and prevent outsiders from knowing it. Where do you think I could hear it?" Xiao Che curled his lips and said, "I I really only draw these conclusions from your pulse, that's all. Seeing your reaction, I seem to be right about everything."

"I don't believe it!" Xia Qingyue shook her head flatly. Can you deduce the great secret that Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace has been hiding from just one pulse? Simply ridiculous! If it were really that simple, there were countless genius doctors in the Blue Wind Empire, and the secret of Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace should have spread all over the world long ago.

But everything Xiao Che said just now was straight to the point, without any deviation. This made Xia Qingyue unable to help but be surprised.

"I know you don't believe me." Xiao Che picked up the medicine pot and package on the ground and walked into the room: "Come with me."

Xia Qingyue's gaze lingered on the thing he was holding in his hand. After a little hesitation, he followed him into the room and closed the door.

"Sit down." Putting the medicine pot and the package down, Xiao Che said to Xia Qingyue in a commanding tone.

"What are you going to do?" Xia Qingyue looked at him suspiciously.

"Of course it's for you."

"No need." Xia Qingyue shook her head directly.

"Do you need it? You'd better try it before you come to a conclusion... Hey! You don't even want to try, right?"

Xiao Che had already opened the package and took out a silver box. He sighed, a little bit of loss and disappointment on his face: "I know you basically don't believe what I say. But at least, I have no ability to harm you, and I have no reason to harm you. I went to the pharmacy early in the morning to get it. I came here just to make some adjustments for you. If it works, it's good. If it doesn't work, you won't lose anything... Since you don't believe it and don't want to try it, forget it. , when I am self-indulgent."

Xia Qingyue was startled by Xiao Che's words, and then felt a sense of guilt in her heart... Indeed, what he said before and what he was about to do was all for the sake of conditioning her, not for asking her for anything or making demands. As he himself said, there is no reason or ability to harm her at all... Not to mention what the outcome will be, it is too much to refuse directly.

Xia Qingyue sighed inwardly, and sat down beside Xiao Che: "How do you want to deal with it?"

"...Are you willing to take care of yourself?" Xiao Che glanced at her, then snorted and turned his face away.

Xia Qingyue couldn't help laughing and crying for a while, and her voice slowed down: "I want to see how you will deal with it."

"Well, that's good." When Xiao Che turned his face again, he was already smiling. It made Xia Qingyue look at it for a moment... This guy, the speed of changing his face is too fast!

"Put out your hand."

Xiao Che sat in front of Xia Qingyue, Xia Qingyue also stretched out her arms according to the words, spread across the table, the loose red sleeves were pulled all the way to the elbows, revealing two jade arms of Sai Xue bullying.

Xiao Che opened the silver box, and inside, there were dozens of silver needles slender as silk.

"Silver needle... do you want to use acupuncture?" Xia Qingyue raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Huh? You actually know acupuncture?" Xiao Che glanced at her in surprise. Back then, in the Azure Cloud Continent, there were less than ten people who could practice acupuncture and moxibustion in the entire continent, including him and his master Medical Saint. However, in the Profound Sky Continent,

This seems to be a medical technique that has become quite popular, and a set of acupuncture tools can be found in the pharmacy of the Xiao Clan.

"Of course I do. I also know that acupuncture requires a very high level of proficiency. It takes more than ten years to achieve a small success, and a few decades to complete it. I have never heard that you have studied medicine, let alone that Acupuncture. Besides, there is no smell or trace of Qihuang in your room at all. What are you going to do?" Xia Qingyue's eyes were always filled with doubt and alertness.

Xiao Che took out a silver needle, and lightly twisted his fingers on the bottom of the needle... And when Xiao Che picked up the silver needle, Xia Qingyue's eyes were slightly dazed, because the silver needle was in Xiao Che's hand , there was an indescribable sense of harmony, as if this silver needle was born in Xiao Che's hand. This feeling is very subtle, indescribable, but real and clear.

Xiao Che opened a small bottle, dipped it lightly with a silver needle, and said in his mouth, "You'll know right away if I can play acupuncture. Of course, if you feel any discomfort, or if you feel like I'm taking you Just kidding, you can stop me at any time."

"What's in that bottle?" Xia Qingyue turned her gaze to the small medicine bottle.

"Ordinary Chiyang flower juice." Xiao Che replied casually, his eyes fell on Xia Qingyue's snowy hand, and the left hand holding the silver needle shook slightly.

Xiao Che's movement was extremely fast, and Xia Qingyue didn't even react when it was so close. When Xiao Che retracted his left hand, the silver needle between his fingers had disappeared, and a silver needle had been inserted vertically into the wrist of her right hand... which landed precisely on the Yangchi acupoint.

There is no pain, not even a feeling. If she hadn't watched the silver needle helplessly, she wouldn't even know that a silver needle had pierced into her wrist. Xia Qingyue moved for a while... Quick? No, it's by no means fast! Rather skilled! One has reached an amazing level, which is called the ultimate skill!

The second silver needle had already been picked up by Xiao Che, dipped in a bit of the flower juice of the red sunflower, and approaching Xia Qingyue's right hand, with a slight flick of his wrist, the second silver needle had precisely stabbed the Yanggu acupoint. . Followed by the third and fourth, stabbed in Zhongzhu and Hegu respectively.

After the right hand, another four silver needles pierced into the four points of Yangchi, Yanggu, Zhongzhu and Hegu in the left hand. phantom. The surprise in her heart also overlapped with the piercing of the silver needles.

She didn't know if Xiao Che's "conditioning" would have any effect, but with his skillful and demon-like technique, Xia Qingyue couldn't believe that it was actually performed by a sixteen-year-old boy.

"Relax your hands, breathe steadily, and never use your profound strength."

Xiao Che's voice rang in her ears. She also cooperated with Xiao Che, relaxed her arms and calmed down. At this moment, she suddenly felt the cold aura condensed in her left and right hands, and then, as if she had found a vent, she quickly rushed to Yangchi, Yanggu, Zhongzhu, and Hegu, which were pierced by silver needles. hole……

Immediately, above the eight silver needles, wisps of slowly passing white mist rose up, and the cold air contained in them caused the surrounding temperature to drop rapidly. Feeling the cold air surging in the meridians and the white mist escaping quickly, Xia Qingyue's snowy face moved violently.

The white fog rose for a few minutes before it stopped completely. At this moment, Xiao Che suddenly stretched out his hand and shook both hands together, pointing like a phantom. In an instant, the eight silver needles stabbed in Xia Qingyue's hand had all returned to his hand, and he was then put into another box.

"This cold air is heavier than I thought. Fortunately, you met me." Xiao Che muttered softly, then closed the silver needle box, and said casually, "Qingyue wife, how do your hands feel now? "

Xia Qingyue raised her hands, ripples in her eyes. Relaxed, comfortable, warm... that's how her hands felt at this moment. It was like being freed suddenly from some kind of heavy bondage. The warm feeling in her palms and arms was the first time she felt it after she practiced Frozen Cloud Art. She raised her eyes to look at Xiao Che and asked in surprise, "What the hell is this?"

"Actually, it's very simple. I just guide and release the cold energy in your hands and the meridians of your hands, and by the way, unblock the condensed meridians." Xiao Che said lightly, "The profound arts of your Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace can release profound energy. It becomes cold, so its power greatly increases. The reason why the cold profound energy is stronger is because the cold energy can hurt people... The enemy is a human being, and he is also a human being. Before hurting others, he must hurt himself first. This is a very simple truth. "

"I touched your palm this morning and found that the temperature of your palm is far lower than the body temperature of a normal person. Maybe you people in Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace will naturally think that this is a normal phenomenon caused by practicing Frozen Cloud Art. From a medical point of view, it’s no wonder that such a body temperature can be normal!! When you don’t normally use your profound energy, your profound energy is embedded in your profound veins and won’t affect you. But once you use it, Bingyun’s profound energy penetrates your whole body and hurts people when you release it. , when it circulates, it will hurt yourself! You should not have practiced Frozen Cloud Art for many years, but a lot of cold energy has penetrated into your five internal organs, six internal organs, blood, bone marrow, and dantian, and it accumulates more and more. Over time, it will affect your whole body. Organs will cause continuous serious damage, and it is not surprising that they are not short-lived! It is even more normal to have those negative reactions."

Xia Qingyue: "..."

"In addition, under the cold air, many meridians in the body will also be blocked due to frequent spasms, which will have a considerable impact on the display of profound energy. You can now try to transfer your profound energy to your hands and see what you have done before. The difference." Xiao Che said with a serious expression.

Xiao Che's eloquent remarks are reasonable and well-founded, with a beginning and an end, a cause and a result, and the reasoning is very simple and easy to understand, even a fool can understand it. Coupled with Xia Qingyue's practical response, there was absolutely no way to question or refute.

But when Xiao Che spoke with a serious face, he was grinning in his heart... Because what he said was indeed true, but since it was true... it was also nonsense!

It’s true that the cold qi accumulates and hurts the body, and it’s true that the meridians are closed… But if the Frozen Cloud Art is really as bad as he said, Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace will be an ass! Not to mention standing at the pinnacle of Blue Wind Continent, it is estimated that he would not be able to survive as early as 800 years ago. When you practice Frozen Cloud Art for a period of time and your body is fully adapted to Frozen Cloud Art, then although the cold energy in your body will still hurt your life, it will not continue to hurt your body.

But Xia Qingyue had only been cultivating Frozen Cloud Art for three or four years, so naturally it was impossible for him to "completely adapt". Combining his words with his own personal feelings, plus the feeling after "conditioning", Xiao Che's words sounded flawless to her at all.

"Conditioning" is just an excuse. The "defect" of Frozen Cloud Art is also just an excuse. What he wants to do, only he knows.
