Thirteen Life-Taking Needles!

"D-do I need to take off more?"

Shen Qingqing asked softly, her face flushed crimson.

On the bed, she had already removed most of Shen Qianxun's clothes, leaving only a thin gauze garment through which her exquisite curves were faintly visible.

Even Ning Chuan could not help swallowing!

She was so beautiful!

Though Shen Qianxun lay unconscious, her face was flawless. Her skin was as white as jade, her delicate nose slightly upturned, her lips like cherries. Her snowy neck and shapely figure left Ning Chuan struggling to control himself.

Wasn't she far more beautiful than those so-called female celebrities on Earth?

Though Ning Chuan dearly wanted Shen Qingqing to continue, the thought that Shen Qianxun might give him a savage beating when she woke made him extinguish that desire.

"That's enough. Step aside!"

Ning Chuan nodded.

He was about to use the Acupuncture Technique, and the gauze garment would no longer interfere with his needles.

Shen Qingqing obediently stepped aside, but her beautiful eyes remained fixed on Ning Chuan, full of suspicion. It seemed that the moment he dared harbor any improper intentions toward Shen Qianxun, she would strike.

"I'm going to use the Acupuncture Technique now. Don't let anyone disturb me during the process. Understood?"

Ning Chuan looked at Shen Qingqing earnestly.

Shen Qingqing instinctively wanted to argue, but when she met his bright, earnest eyes, she found herself nodding. "All right!"

Ning Chuan approached the bed.

He suppressed his distracting thoughts, making his mind as still as an ancient well. Then he opened his eyes, and lightning seemed to flash from them.

Within the sea of consciousness of his primordial spirit, immense mental power erupted. Thirteen silver needles instantly rose into the air, giving off a faint silver glow.

The Acupuncture Technique Ning Chuan was about to perform was called Thirteen Life-Taking Needles!

It could kill, but it could also save lives!

Driven by mental power through Telekinesis Through the Spirit, Thirteen Life-Taking Needles was a rather impressive secret technique within the Demon Emperor Asura's memories.

Though Ning Chuan had no cultivation, his mental power was exceptionally strong. He had already reached the threshold for Telekinesis Through the Spirit and could perform Thirteen Life-Taking Needles.

Of the dozens of ways to save Shen Qianxun in the Demon Emperor Asura's memories, Thirteen Life-Taking Needles was the only method Ning Chuan could use.

"Telekinesis Through the Spirit? How... how is his mental power so strong?"

At the sight, Shen Qingqing's eyes widened in disbelief.

After all, Telekinesis Through the Spirit was an ability that required one to be at least a Two-Star Alchemist. She had never imagined Ning Chuan's mental power could be so formidable.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

At that moment, with a thought from Ning Chuan, the thirteen silver needles flew toward Shen Qianxun. They moved as though they were part of his body, obeying him as effortlessly as fingers obeyed an arm.

The silver needles descended, piercing the acupoints with perfect precision.

Shen Qianxun let out a faint moan as she lay on the bed.

It really worked? That useless Ning Chuan actually had an ability like this?

A glimmer of joy appeared in Shen Qingqing's eyes, as though she were seeing Ning Chuan for the first time.

Hum!

The thirteen silver needles trembled slightly, then instantly rose again and descended into other acupoints, shining with brilliant light.

Shen Qingqing could see wisps of black baleful energy emerging around Shen Qianxun's heart. As though guided by the silver needles, they slowly began leaving her heart and traveling along her meridians.

It was utterly miraculous!

That black baleful energy was none other than fire poison!

Ning Chuan's eyes shone as he continuously marshaled his immense mental power, controlling the thirteen silver needles to draw the fire poison away from the meridians around Shen Qianxun's heart so he could expel it from her body.

Ning Chuan continued performing Thirteen Life-Taking Needles, seemingly with effortless ease. By merging with the Demon Emperor Asura's memories, he had also gained the emperor's vast cultivation experience. Removing Shen Qianxun's fire poison posed little difficulty for him.

Soon, the fire poison inside Shen Qianxun had been drawn into her arm.

Was it about to succeed?

Shen Qingqing's heart rose into her throat, her beautiful eyes full of anticipation.

Boom!

But just then, the black fire poison seemed unwilling to be driven out. It suddenly quivered, trying to return to the meridians around her heart.

"Trying to run? Get out!"

Ning Chuan sneered.

Whoosh!

The thirteen silver needles descended instantly, blocking the fire poison's escape like an army of thousands of soldiers and horses. Then they immediately activated the meridians in Shen Qianxun's arm.

Wisps of black fire poison instantly seeped out of Shen Qianxun's arm.

Her arm, which had been as black as ink, regained its snowy whiteness.

"Phew!"

Ning Chuan breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

After all, this was his first time performing Thirteen Life-Taking Needles, and he had been somewhat apprehensive. Yet the results were astonishingly good. He had easily removed the fire poison from Shen Qianxun's body.

"Has the fire poison been removed? But why hasn't my sister woken up yet?"

Shen Qingqing asked excitedly.

"Don't worry! Removing the fire poison was only the first step. Next, I'll stimulate her mental power to wake her up. That part is actually simpler!"

Ning Chuan smiled calmly.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

With a thought, the thirteen silver needles instantly descended onto thirteen acupoints on Shen Qianxun, including her Baihui Acupoint, Taiyang Acupoint, Tongtian Acupoint, and Jingming Acupoint.

Threads of mental power clung to the silver needles, drawing on the dormant soul within Shen Qianxun's sea of consciousness and stimulating her latent potential.

This process was extremely dangerous. Without the Demon Emperor Asura's cultivation experience, anyone else recklessly attempting Thirteen Life-Taking Needles could easily have injured Shen Qianxun's soul directly, leaving her a fool or an idiot.

"Hmm? What an unusual soul!"

A trace of surprise appeared in Ning Chuan's eyes.

He actually sensed that the dormant soul within Shen Qianxun's sea of consciousness contained both utmost yin and utmost yang. Like a Yin-Yang Taiji Diagram, it bore yin upon its back and embraced yang, blending their energies into harmony, the two born together.

Under Ning Chuan's stimulation, Shen Qianxun's soul trembled slightly, and an immense wave of mental power spread outward.

Shen Qianxun slowly opened her eyes!

They were incomparably beautiful eyes, clear and radiant, glowing with a captivating brightness yet as deep as the starry sky. They seemed to brighten the entire room.

So beautiful!

Even Ning Chuan lost himself for an instant.

"Sister, you're awake? Wonderful! That bastard Ning Chuan really wasn't lying to me. He really cured you!"

Shen Qingqing rushed over, her eyes brimming with excitement and joy, and hugged Shen Qianxun tightly.

"Ning Chuan saved me?"

Shen Qianxun froze for a moment, then looked at Ning Chuan with surprise and disbelief.
