Not counting this life, Xin Lin was quite well-inford in her previous one.
But she had never seen such a needle.
"Is this really a needle?"
Xin Lin questioned skeptically.
Master Mo was, for the most part, quite unreliable.
"Of course it’s a needle, I plucked it from the Jade Horned Queen Bee myself. A Jade Horned Queen Bee only has one, and here there are thirteen. Do you know about the Jade Horned Queen Bee? It is a Level 8 Spiritual Beast, a single one can sting an entire army to death."
Master Mo spoke with such fervor that his saliva flew as he animatedly gestured.
"The needle is indeed from the tail of the Jade Horned Queen Bee. The old woman didn’t lie this ti."
Gui Hu added, impassively.
"Sounds like you think you can kill a Level 8 Spiritual Beast."
Xin Lin laughed dryly.
Master Mo coughed twice and swiftly changed the subject.
"I’m starving, starving, what’s for dinner tonight?"
Xin Lin couldn’t be bothered to expose Master Mo’s boasting, but boasting aside, from Gui Hu’s reaction, this set of needles was definitely sothing extraordinary.
Xin Lin was more inclined to believe that the needles had been swindled by Master Mo; after all, it wasn’t the first or second ti she had taken advantage of her patients.
Since it was sothing valuable, there was no reason to let it go.
Xin Lin packed up the Xuanyu Bee Needles and turned to leave.
"Hey, these needles aren’t free, I’m adding them to your tab, you’re going to work for for another ten years!"
Master Mo’s nagging voice echoed behind her.
After dinner, Xin Lin took a few pieces of the leftover broken lotus root back to cottage number twenty-four.
Like the Four Examination thod, the Golden Needle Hemostatic thod also required practice to improve.
But unlike the Four Examination thod, just watching it wasn’t going to be enough.
After arranging the lotus root into a miniature human figurine shape, Xin Lin used a writing brush to paint the corresponding acupoints and ridians on the lotus root.
She held a Xuanyu Bee Needle in her hand.
They say the hornet’s tail sting is as poisonous as the malice in a woman’s heart.
The Xuanyu Bee Needle was as thin as a strand of hair, seemingly very fragile at first glance.
Xin Lin channeled a trace of Fu Xi’s Energy into the needle, and a subtle glow flickered on it.
Her hand moved swiftly, as she struck the lotus root bristling with acupoints.
Just as the needle touched down, there was a snap, and the lotus root split apart.
Xin Lin was slightly surprised.
The power of the Jade Needle was much greater than she had anticipated; she had used too much force with this needle.
Xin Lin picked up another piece of lotus root and tried again.
As the tip of the needle touched down, it trembled slightly but pierced straight into the skin of the lotus root, still an inch away from the acupoint.
Tsk—
If it was this difficult to control on pieces of lotus root, it would surely be much harder on actual patients.
Xin Lin’s dark eyes narrowed, it seed that the Golden Needle Hemostasis was much more difficult than she had anticipated.
Xin Lin took a deep breath, calmly picked up another piece of lotus root, and continued her practice with the needle.
Ti flowed slowly by like water.
After ruining more than twenty pieces of lotus root, Xin Lin finally mastered the force required for the needling.
Practicing the needling had consud most of the Fu Xi’s Energy within her body.
Xin Lin took out a bottle of Jade Pure Spring and took a big gulp.
Looking outside, it was already dawn.
A whole night had passed.
Just as Xin Lin was about to pack away the Xuanyu Bee Needles, the door was suddenly pushed open.
Xin Lin beca alert.
She then saw a face, covered in dust from travel, peering in.
Mu Chen, why was it him again, hadn’t he left for an Academy mission?
Xin Lin wondered.
"Is this a new dish?"
Seeing the broken lotus root on the floor, Mu Chen nearly forgot his purpose for coming and blurted out his question.
