The Elixir is for You, The Poison is for Me

#348 - Silver Needle Skill

Lu Jing waited to save people, but he didn't just idly wait. After chatting with the Young Marquis for a few words, he found a place to sit down and continued to practice his sword control technique.

There was no other way, who asked him to have two pools on him that needed to release water, and neither could be left unattended.

And he was just sitting cross-legged like that, pinching a sword technique in his sleeve, so outsiders couldn't see what he was practicing, only thinking that he was adjusting his inner breath before making a move.

Immediately, several people followed suit, each finding a secluded place to recuperate.

Although the purpose of coming here today was to save people, not to compete, as the Gambling Ghost had said before, although Mirror Lake Valley was quiet, avoiding the disturbances of the martial world, life here was inevitably too dull, and many people had long been itching to do something.

This time, it was rare that almost all the experts in the valley had come, and even the old blind man who rarely went out on weekdays was invited out of the mountain by the Young Marquis. When everyone gathered together, it was inevitable that they would have the idea of comparing with each other.

And even some people who didn't like to compete for strength didn't want to lose face.

So even if they didn't say it out loud, they were actually secretly competing with each other. As everyone entered the house one after another, the duration of their stay varied. Those who stayed longer walked out with their heads held high, while those who stayed shorter lowered their heads and walked quickly.

However, so far, the longest person has only lasted for half an hour, and the shortest hasn't even lasted for a cup of tea.

Until the old blind man was helped into the house by the Young Marquis, he stayed inside for a full hour before walking out again.

When he came out, everyone praised him, "Mr. Bamboo Cane is indeed a first-rate expert, and his internal strength is truly unfathomable, making us all feel beyond our reach."

However, the old blind man shook his head when he heard this, "Since being struck by that person's sword twelve years ago, this old man can't really be considered a proper first-rate expert anymore. It's okay to heal people, but when fighting, my inner breath is sometimes stagnant, and I can't exert the full power of my moves. Moreover, I'm still relying on Doctor Ding's medicine to prolong my life, and I'm already a useless person."

"However, speaking of first-rate experts, there is indeed one at the moment, and what's even rarer is that he is very young. He was on the Heavenly Pivot Ranking before he was twenty years old, and he will definitely have a bright future."

Before the old blind man finished speaking, someone had already looked in the direction of Lu Jing.

Not all the paper figures in Mirror Lake Valley are isolated from the world and unaware of what's happening outside. Some people, when they have nothing to do, will leave Mirror Lake Valley and wander around other places in the academy, so they have naturally heard of Lu Jing's deeds.

In addition, Lu Jing has been helping Wu Han deliver vegetables for some time, so some people recognize him.

Lu Jing heard the old blind man mention himself, got up and said, "Senior, you are too kind."

"It's not an exaggeration," the old blind man said, "The Young Marquis has told me a lot about you. Actually, martial arts are secondary. The key is that your temperament is also very good, not impatient or impetuous. You've been delivering vegetables in Mirror Lake Valley for more than a month, right? I haven't seen you inquire about any secrets of the academy, or any methods to improve your cultivation. This is especially rare. Even many instructors in the academy may not be able to do this."

"After all, everyone says that Mirror Lake Valley is the most mysterious place in the academy, and people who come here generally have something they seek."

The old blind man paused here, "People get talkative when they get old. Right now, saving people is the most important thing. It should be your turn next, let me see the demeanor of a master on the Heavenly Pivot Ranking! We can talk about other things later."

"In that case, this junior will show off my poor skills."

Lu Jing waited for about an incense stick of time, and saw another person walking out of the house quickly. After that, he also raised his foot and walked in.

As soon as he entered the house, he saw the figure sitting on the bed not far away, it was the green-shirted girl he hadn't seen for more than ten days.

Even Lu Jing, who didn't know medicine, could tell that her current situation was very bad.

Not only were her lips black, but even the blood vessels under her skin faintly showed ink color. Her eyes were tightly closed, and if it weren't for the slight rise and fall of her chest, she would be no different from a corpse.

A woodcutter who had entered the house before Lu Jing was holding one hand against her back at this moment, and a piece of purple air appeared on his face, obviously he had mobilized his internal force to the extreme.

Ding Liu stood aside, holding a silver needle, his brows furrowed, and from time to time he would stab the silver needle in his hand to a certain acupoint on the green-shirted girl's body.

The woodcutter looked not very old, just about thirty years old, so his internal strength was not too strong. He only lasted for a moment, and sweat oozed from his forehead, but perhaps because he felt it would be too embarrassing to go out like this, he planned to grit his teeth and hold on for a while longer.

But he heard Ding Liu say from the side, "Don't be brave, save some internal force, judging by this, you may not be able to save her even in two rounds."

The woodcutter was shocked when he heard this, and immediately extinguished the idea of competing for strength, and prepared to withdraw his power.

Seeing this, Lu Jing consciously stood behind him. At the same time as the woodcutter withdrew his palm, Ding Liu suddenly used his fingers like lightning, and quickly stabbed several needles.

Every time someone is replaced is the most dangerous time, because the previous old force has just been withdrawn, and the new force has not yet arrived. Although it is only a moment, if it is not handled well, the green-shirted girl, who is already hovering on the edge of death, will easily lose her vitality completely.

Therefore, silver needles are needed to fix her vitality.

However, this time Ding Liu only dropped four needles and let out a soft huh, because the next new force came very quickly, and poured into the green-shirted girl's meridians all over her body in less than a breath, and it was especially skilled in dealing with that strange poison.

Lu Jing had previously helped the green-shirted girl protect her several times, and gradually explored some experience during this period. It is not the best policy to directly confront it, because this strange poison, which is deadly to ordinary people, is the nutrient for the green-shirted girl to practice internal skills.

If they are really forced to a certain place where they cannot move, the green-shirted girl's own inner breath will also begin to become disordered, and there is even a risk of going crazy.

The best way is to use internal force to disperse them like a blender, so that the green-shirted girl can absorb them.

Of course, this time the situation is a bit different. The poison has already attacked the heart, and Lu Jing can't do anything about this part. Just like what Wu Han said before, it can only depend on her own fortune.

What Lu Jing can deal with is the remaining part of the toxin in her body. In addition to this, he can protect her only remaining vitality with pure internal force like other people, and hope that she will get better on her own.

This is also the treatment method that Ding Liu had set early in the morning, but unfortunately the effect is average. The green-shirted girl has now lost consciousness and cannot perform exercises normally at all.

Therefore, the poison in her heart is also difficult for her to absorb.

However, as Lu Jing stirred up the poison in other parts of her body with internal force, her original internal force scattered in various parts of the meridians also began to stir, like sharks smelling blood.
