Yin Yang Polarization Hand

Seeing that the device in the man's hand really was a Nerve Perception Restorer, the Red-Eyed Girl could not hold back in her anxiety and shouted, "Hey, wait!"

"I already gave you the bedroom. What more do you want?"

"Uh, I really was hit by an Electromagnetic Soul Severing Needle."

Ji Qinglin still did not turn his head.

"So what?"

The Red-Eyed Girl could tell that the man clearly knew already. He was obviously making her lower her head first on purpose, but she truly had no other options. After taking a long breath to suppress her emotions, she finally spoke in a gentler tone:

"Sorry, I was overly guarded. Thank you for helping me shake off the Guard Team's pursuit just now. An Electromagnetic Soul Severing Needle hit my left leg, and I've lost all feeling in it. Could I borrow your Nerve Perception Restorer?"

Only then did Ji Qinglin return to the bedroom.

"That attitude is more like it. Now let's talk price."

The Red-Eyed Girl was somewhat stunned by the question.

"Price? What price?"

"Hey, are you playing dumb with me? I'll count that act of helping you when I saw injustice as you owing me a favor to repay later. But why should I let you use this Perception Restorer for free?"

The girl spoke helplessly and indignantly:

"You just... touched me. You should know I don't have any money on me right now. How about this: when I leave tomorrow, the people coming to meet me will pay you."

"Empty promises aren't trustworthy. Besides, even missing a leg, you escaped the Guard Team. If I let you recover, what could I possibly do to stop you?"

"Then what do you want?"

"At least pay some kind of deposit now."

As he spoke, Ji Qinglin stroked his chin and looked at the Red-Eyed Girl on the bed, seeming to have thought of something.

The girl pressed a hand over the bomb at her waist. "What are you trying to do?!"

Ji Qinglin smiled. "Don't try to scare me with that bomb. Though I know it's real, I also know you would never set it off. Judging by the Electromagnetic Soul Severing Nail that hit you and the scale of the search, the company clearly wants you alive. That bomb is probably meant for threatening the company with your own life when necessary.

"But regrettably, your life can't threaten me. And I believe that so long as I don't sell you out to the company, whatever I do to you probably won't make you detonate it."

A flicker of panic crossed the Red-Eyed Girl's eyes, because the man was completely right. And from his tone, it sounded as though he really intended to do something to her without fear or restraint.

Yet Ji Qinglin suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Do you know any cultivation techniques?"

The Red-Eyed Girl had not expected the man to hold it in for so long only to ask such a question.

"Uh, I do. Why?"

"Then demonstrate one for me. I'll lend you the Perception Restorer first."

That was it?

The Red-Eyed Girl asked suspiciously, "Why do you want to see that?"

"To learn."

Thinking that the man did not understand modern cultivation, the Red-Eyed Girl replied:

"Without installing the corresponding Cultivation Module, Meridian Set, or Technique Software, you won't be able to learn it even if you watch."

Besides, if it had already been installed, there would be no need to learn from someone else.

Naturally, Ji Qinglin could not explain it to her, so he simply said:

"One question: do you still want the Perception Restorer or not?"

Though the Red-Eyed Girl wanted to tell him it was useless, she could only comply in order to get the Perception Restorer sooner.

Perfect. I'll let you, you frivolous bastard, open your eyes and see what I can do, so you won't look down on me or entertain any improper thoughts again.

However, she had only just evaded inspection, and making too much noise might bring disaster down upon them again. Moreover, her left leg was still numb, so she could only use a technique involving her upper body. After thinking briefly, the Red-Eyed Girl pressed down with both arms and calmed her mind and breath.

Ji Qinglin had already opened Discern Dao within Divine Sense Observation and stared intently.

The Red-Eyed Girl extended both arms before her, folded them one above the other below her chest, as though feeling the power in her hands. Ji Qinglin could see faint black and white glimmers on her fair, jade-like hands.

Then the Red-Eyed Girl suddenly exerted force, sweeping her hands apart to the left and right and drawing a large circle before herself. The black and white glimmers followed her hands. Once her arms had drawn two great circles in front of her, the glimmers and the trails they had left behind blazed brilliantly, forming a Taiji Diagram.

But what Ji Qinglin saw was more than that. From the moment the Red-Eyed Girl began, a prompt had already appeared before him: Learnable content scanned: Yin Yang Polarization Hand.

As the Red-Eyed Girl spread her arms, Ji Qinglin could clearly see the qi-flow acupoints and meridians in her left and right hands, like a matchstick figure joined together.

Only when the Taiji Diagram appeared at the end was the recording automatically saved.

Finally, as the half-human-height Taiji Diagram dispersed, the Red-Eyed Girl said proudly, "Well?"

Ji Qinglin scratched his head.

"That's it? You just drew a glowing Taiji circle in front of yourself, and then it was over? I could do that with two glow sticks."

The Red-Eyed Girl snapped angrily:

"What do you mean, a glowing circle? Do you know quality when you see it or not? This is a treasured, authentic Yin Yang Polarization Hand! They say that at its peak, it can defend against and even dissolve all the myriad techniques under heaven!"

Although the Red-Eyed Girl's strength had not allowed her to develop this move into anything remarkable, she understood it deeply. That only further convinced her that the man before her knew nothing about modern cultivation.

"It looks pretty ordinary. Do you have anything else?"

"I've already demonstrated it for you. Now it's time for you to fulfill your promise!"

Seeing that the Red-Eyed Girl was genuinely anxious, Ji Qinglin, who had originally wanted to swindle another technique or two out of her, did not make things difficult for her any further and handed her the Nerve Perception Restorer.

Then he went to the living room and began practicing according to the method recorded by Divine Sense Observation.

First, he had to gather two kinds of data in his hands, then release the data through his meridians and acupoints. Though his two hands moved in completely opposite ways, their speed and rhythm had to remain synchronized.

Jiquan Acupoint, Quze Acupoint, Shaohai Acupoint, Taiyuan Acupoint, Laogong Acupoint... Tch, the speed seemed too fast. The data hadn't gathered successfully before the speeds fell out of sync. Again.

In the bedroom, the Red-Eyed Girl was doing her utmost to restore feeling to her left leg. The Nerve Perception Restorer stimulated the area, forcing blood to flow back into it and restoring sensation to the nerves. Her left leg felt like it had been pressed numb for a long time and was now slowly recovering, that sour, tingling numbness creeping back bit by bit. But at least it was starting to feel again.

To distract herself—and because she feared that the pervert might secretly go out and call the police—the Red-Eyed Girl kept watching Ji Qinglin in the living room while waiting for feeling to return to her leg.

Yet he was completely unconcerned, drawing circles before himself as though he wanted to learn the Yin Yang Polarization Hand. To the Red-Eyed Girl, that was no different from a blind man lighting a lamp, and she suddenly felt that he was a little pitiful.

He had absolutely no conditions for it, yet he still had, more or less, a dream of cultivation.

Thinking this, the Red-Eyed Girl continued explaining, "I already told you not to waste your effort. Once I recover and return safely, I can get you a Cultivation Suit, all right? As for the Yin Yang Polarization Hand, don't even think about it. Even after its software is installed, it takes a long time to learn. You can't buy the software for this move anywhere in Bangkok—not even a pirated version—because after purchase, it can only be used with an invitation-only activation code. Hey, are you even listening to me—"

Before the Red-Eyed Girl could finish, the huge circle Ji Qinglin had drawn in the living room formed into a gigantic Taiji Diagram taller than a person, bursting with blinding light.

"Tch, so the movements don't have to be exactly synchronized. As long as the meridians and acupoints guiding the qi are correct, it works. Hey, what were you saying?"
