At this mont, Lin Feng finally woke up again...
"Pfft..." Upon waking, the first thing Lin Feng did was spit out a mouthful of dark, clotted blood. Struggling to open his eyes, he looked down at the silver needles covering his body and smiled with so relief, saying, "Qingyi, you’ve finally mastered the seventh-level Hanging Life Needling thod. You managed to insert forty-nine needles in succession, not bad, not bad..."
Xue Qingyi blushed slightly, knowing that the Hanging Life Needling thod from the Supre dical Canon was divided into multiple levels. The higher the level, the better the effect... However, the higher level the needling thod, the more needles were required!
For example, the seventh-level Hanging Life Needling thod required forty-nine needles to be inserted within ten seconds. Ordinary people couldn’t possibly perform this technique...
In fact, Xue Qingyi hadn’t mastered it herself; it was only with the help of Xu Jing, Su Zi, and Ning Aoxue that she barely perford the technique to save Lin Feng’s life...
"Let’s not worry about that now..." Xue Qingyi neither admitted nor denied it. Instead, she took the dragon-shaped stone from Su Zi’s hands, placed it in front of Lin Feng, and asked, "How do I use this stone?!"
Lin Feng looked at the dragon-shaped stone in Xue Qingyi’s hand in surprise and said in a deep voice, "Place it in my hand and just let sit in a cultivation posture..."
"Alright!" Without asking why, Xue Qingyi simply helped Lin Feng sit up in his usual ditation pose, let him fold his hands on his lap, and then placed the dragon-shaped stone between his hands...
Lin Feng took a light breath with effort and began to circulate the faintest trace of Inner Strength within him...
As soon as Lin Feng activated his Inner Strength, the dragon-shaped stone reacted. Xue Qingyi and the three won were surprised to see a layer of black mist seem to envelop Lin Feng, and then the mist, as if it had a mind of its own, started drifting towards the dragon-shaped stone in Lin Feng’s palm. In the next second, the black mist was completely absorbed by the stone, not a trace remaining...
"What a magical stone, who would have thought it has such an effect!" First, Xue Qingyi gazed at Lin Feng for a while, then suddenly reacted, turned around, and pointed to the open window and the glass door in the room, saying in a deep voice, "You girls, close the curtains and block the door with sheets; no one else can see this scene..."
Xu Jing, Su Zi, and Ning Aoxue, startled out of their stupor, had been on an emotional roller coaster today but were still captivated by Lin Feng’s miraculous healing technique. Upon Xue Qingyi’s reminder, they realized that the magic of the stone in Lin Feng’s hand should never be known to outsiders!
Otherwise, it could bring endless trouble to Lin Feng!
Without any hesitation, the three won executed Xue Qingyi’s plan perfectly, blocking the view with curtains and fabric...
In the next second, the change in Lin Feng’s body proved Xue Qingyi’s foresight to be very wise...
A wind arose around Lin Feng’s body...
It wasn’t a tangible wind but one visible to the eye, yet devoid of any sound...
The black mist lingered around Lin Feng, yet it was spinning around him as if resisting the gravitational pull of the dragon-shaped stone in Lin Feng’s hand. Silently, Xue Qingyi and the others seed to see eerie claws and ghostly faces in the black aura around Lin Feng...
"This eerie Ghostly Underworld Claw!" Xue Qingyi bit her lip, having not anticipated that even such a miraculous dragon-shaped stone would be suppressed by the eerie Inner Strength of the Ghostly Underworld Claw!
"Sister Qingyi, what should we do?!" Su Zi also noticed sothing amiss. Though she didn’t understand martial arts, she recognized the bizarre nature of the clearly visible black air around Lin Feng. Seeing the dragon-shaped stone in Lin Feng’s hand unable to absorb the black air further, she naturally knew Lin Feng was in danger!
"There’s no other way..." Xue Qingyi gritted her teeth, walked directly behind Lin Feng, and amidst the shocked gazes of the other won, resolutely extended her delicate jade palm, summoned her Inner Strength, and pressed heavily on Lin Feng’s head, "If your eerie Inner Strength refuses to leave, I’ll give you a push..."
"Sister Qingyi! Be careful!"
"Don’t do it..."
"Stop!"
Amidst the exclamations of Ning Aoxue, Su Zi, and Xu Jing, Xu Jing’s hand still plunged resolutely towards the top of Lin Feng’s head...
At the instant Xu Jing’s jade hand touched Lin Feng’s head, the eerie black wind spun almost crazily, yet without any substance, it couldn’t stop Xue Qingyi’s hand from pressing down...
Xue Qingyi only felt as if her hand had plunged directly into liquid nitrogen at over a hundred degrees below zero, an icy chill that nearly numbed her instantly. Her hand turned whiter than a frozen corpse...
In the next second, the color of death appeared on Xue Qingyi’s face; she bitterly smiled at Lin Feng, saying, "I’m sorry, I tried..."
Even with Xue Qingyi’s participation, the eerie Inner Strength of the Ghostly Underworld Claw didn’t dissipate; it continued to spin around Lin Feng, intensifying. Moreover, Xue Qingyi’s condition was perilous, her right hand below the elbow entirely devoid of color...
Just as Su Zi and the others were anxiously at a loss, the dragon-shaped stone in Lin Feng’s hand suddenly emitted a gentle white light, instantly enveloping Lin Feng and Xu Jing...
Then, with a crisp ding, amidst a flash of white light...
Su Zi, Ning Aoxue, and Xu Jing clearly saw the eerie black air surrounding Lin Feng vanish without a trace following the gentle white light, while a very clear black crack appeared in the exquisite dragon-shaped stone in Lin Feng’s hand...
At this mont, Lin Feng finally opened his eyes with difficulty again, felt sothing, glanced at the now-cracked dragon-shaped stone, and silently put it away.
From then on, the eerie Inner Strength of the Ghostly Underworld Claw within Lin Feng had vanished completely; what remained was healing the internal injuries and practicing Inner Strength to restore his state...
"Lin Feng, are you completely alright now?" Su Zi asked in surprise, seeing the relaxed expression on Lin Feng’s face.
"I’m fine now..." Lin Feng nodded, smiling at Su Zi, "I think I’ll just need to be hospitalized for about two months..."
"Needing to be hospitalized for two months still ans you’re not okay..." Su Zi’s expression changed, her heart sinking again.
"Surviving makes all the difference..." Lin Feng chuckled, not caring about his bare body or the countless silver needles still inserted in him, and with difficulty turned to look at the pale-faced Xue Qingyi, smiling, "Qingyi, I owe this to you!"
Xue Qingyi said nothing, just calmly nodded with a faint, strained smile.
At this mont, a stern male voice suddenly ca from outside the door, "Chen Liu, what’s going on here? Aren’t you the attending physician for that injured person? Why are you standing at the door spectating?! Do you not want to work anymore?!"
"Su... Su... Chancellor... Why, why are you here?! Please, don’t be mad at , I... I was kicked out, I’m innocent!"
The next second, Chen Liu’s frightened plea for rcy ca from outside the door.
