Chapter 2106 The fifth stitch that is not the fifth stitch
Of course, Xia Tian also noticed something strange. This dragon vein really wanted to break away and escape.
Previously, due to the damage to the reverse scale, its vitality gradually diminished, leaving it weak and unable to resist.
It was different now. Xia Tian used the first four of the eight anti-natural needles to directly restore his vitality. Although the gap had not been completely repaired, it was still able to move.
After all, Xia Tian's acupuncture point is where its reverse scales are located. This is like a person's vitals being attacked. It is expected to struggle or even want to fight back.
"I really thought you were a dragon!"
Xia Tian glared at the dragon with some displeasure, and suddenly took the fifth needle, "Be honest!"
This is the first time that Xia Tian uses the fifth needle after Ye Yumei sucked most of his skill away. It is indeed a bit reluctant, but he still uses it, just to suppress this dragon vein in one fell swoop, conquer it, and make it honest.
Let him do whatever he wants.
"boom!"
Although the underground spiritual veins are spiritual and have condensed into the shape of a dragon, they are not real spiritual beings or real dragons after all. The reactions they can make are also limited. They are nothing more than throwing up gusts of wind and blowing them away.
The ground was filled with rocks and dust was rising.
However, these methods have no effect on Xia Tian.
"Give me some peace of mind!"
Xia Tian roared angrily, and the ice and fire spiritual energy was continuously poured into the silver needle, and then poured into the reverse scale gap of the spiritual vein.
The dragon's veins were immediately shaken and dizzy. When he came back to his senses, the dragon's rebellious nature was instantly aroused, and it struggled even more fiercely.
It's a pity that the inverse scale area has been firmly fixed by Xia Tian's acupuncture technique.
Then, the gap slowly healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Slowly, the dragon vein felt the beauty, and gradually became much quieter consciously.
"What a risk, what a risk."
The thin old man watching from a distance broke out in a cold sweat. If his spiritual pulse had been frightened away just now, he would have become an eternal sinner of Chongyang Palace.
Zhang Mingtuo pointed at the thin old man in a funny way: "Zhenren Ren, you are quite old, and you are still the headmaster of Chongyang. Why can't you be as calm as two little girls?
I don't know how disappointed your disciples and believers would be if they saw such a demeanor."
The thin old man gave a wry smile and said with some confusion: "Brother Zhang, please stop laughing at me.
Pindao's efforts in cultivating his character have been exhausted long ago. As long as his spiritual veins are fine, it doesn't matter if he loses his manners."
"You can see clearly."
Zhang Mingtuo shook his head in a funny way.
At this time, Shi Chun suddenly screamed, then raised his finger and pointed in a direction, shouting: "Someone is coming over there, and he must not be a good person!"
Ning Ruirui naturally noticed it and said, "They should be the same group as the man in white robe who disturbed Xia Tian's acupuncture before."
"What is Dan Chenzi doing? Why do you let so many people get into this underground spiritual vein?"
The thin old man took a closer look and was so angry that his beard trembled, "Could it be that our forbidden area in Zhongnan Mountain has also become a tourist area, allowing them to come as they please?"
"Don't worry about this for now. Xia Tian is in the critical period of acupuncture. We must not let these people ruin his affairs."
Zhang Mingtuo reminded him solemnly, "I'll go and stop them."
"I am coming too!"
Shi Chun followed Zhang Mingtuo without saying a word.
Not to be outdone, Ning Ruirui pinched the Liuyun Iron Blade hidden in her sleeve and jumped towards the white-robed men.
This Liuyun Iron Blade was originally going to be returned to Anxin Guan, but the owner Qiu Jianji did not accept it and gave it to her again, and now it comes in handy.
"These ants really think that there is no one in Zhongnan Mountain!"
The thin old man was really angry. He flicked his sleeves and robe, his whole body glowed with golden light, and he rushed towards the uninvited guests with murderous intent.
Those men in white robes were hiding in the dark. Except for sending the killer before, they were just quietly observing the direction of the situation.
It's just that they never expected that Xia Tian could actually repair the dragon veins. This conflicted with their mission, so they had to take action to solve Xia Tian and ensure that the dragon veins were damaged.
Unfortunately, they were spotted by Shi Chun as soon as they appeared, and then four figures flew over and started killing them, almost killing them.
Ning Ruirui and Shi Chun had completely different fighting styles, but neither of them had any killing intent. They just beat people unconscious and then stopped.
Zhang Mingtuo held a golden needle and pricked anyone he saw, first breaking the invisibility advantage of these white-robed men, and then destroying their cultivation.
On the other hand, the thin old man was in a state of rage, so even though he was a monk, his attack was the most ruthless, leaving almost no one alive.
Just when those white-robed men were fighting with Zhang Mingtuo and the others, Xia Tian also ushered in a critical moment.
Due to some lack of skill, Xia Tian's fifth needle failed to exert its full power, so the healing speed of the gap in the dragon's veins became slower and slower, but the needle technique consumed more and more ice and fire spiritual energy.
Xia Tian couldn't directly obtain the spiritual energy from the underground spiritual veins, so it became difficult for him. He saw that the situation was heading toward collapse.
The dragon vein also sensed this and began to feel a little restless again, which invisibly increased Xia Tian's pressure.
"The fifth shot!"
Xia Tian secretly shouted in his heart, and once again directed the huge ice and fire spiritual energy toward the gap in the dragon's veins.
The fifth needle of the eight heaven-defying needles is called Dancheng, which means it can directly raise a person's cultivation level to the Golden Dan stage.
However, the silver needle in front of him was pointing to an incorporeal spiritual vein.
The golden elixir has nowhere to rely on and cannot condense at all.
Although Xia Tian continuously injected his ice and fire spiritual energy, it was still a drop in the bucket compared to his thousands of miles of spiritual energy.
If he continues like this, he will probably die from exhaustion of spiritual energy before his spiritual veins are repaired.
"There is absolutely no way that I, Xia Tian, will fail!"
Xia Tian had no choice but to grit his teeth and forcefully stimulate the ice and fire spiritual energy in his Dantian, "Give me the fifth injection!"
Suddenly, a golden light suddenly burst out from the tip of the needle, and then spread out bit by bit. The speed seemed extremely slow, but in fact it was as fast as lightning.
The entire underground and even thousands of miles of Zhongnan Mountain were swept by this golden light.
Wherever the golden light passed, whether it was people, animals, vegetation, or mayflies and flying dust... all became extremely slow in an instant, as if they had been struck by the dull light of a slow fruit.
The men in white robes, Zhang Mingtuo and others who were fighting fiercely were also like slow-playing images, and their every move was as slow as a snail.
Xia Tian also entered an extremely mysterious state, as if his whole body had melted, like air, like a gust of wind, swimming freely in the underground and surface of Zhongnan Mountain for thousands of miles.
At this moment, he knew the extension of spiritual veins underground, the direction of underground rivers, and countless tiny creatures; at this moment, he saw clearly the flowers, plants, trees, pedestrians and tourists on the surface, as well as the endless ups and downs of mountains;…
…I don’t know how long it took, but Xia Tian “woke up”. This “waking up” was completely different from all the concepts of waking up that he had known before. It was an extremely detached feeling, as if he had gotten rid of the human body and limits.
How to describe this feeling specifically? Xia Tian couldn't think of any suitable words. He only knew that he at this moment was completely different from before.
Just when Xia Tian woke up, the golden light suddenly recovered and retreated into Xia Tian's Dantian through the silver needle.
What he just experienced may have lasted only a second or two, or it may have lasted for dozens or even hundreds of years. It was so fast that he thought he was just distracted, and so slow that he felt like he was having a long dream.
"Is this the fifth of the eight anti-natural needles?"
Xia Tian woke up and couldn't help but recall that feeling, "No, that's not right, it's completely different from the original fifth needle. It's strange. Is there any other variation of the eighth needle?
The fairy sister has never told me, or she actually doesn’t know."
"Ouch!"
At this time, a high-spirited dragon roar suddenly sounded from the ground.
"Huh?"
Xia Tian lowered his head and took a look, and was shocked to find that the dragon vein had been cured. Not only had the reverse scale healed, but a golden dragon scale had even condensed, and there were faint signs of dragon transformation.
The dragon vein was obviously aware of this and was so excited that it kept wandering underground, making ear-splitting groans from time to time.
"What's the fuss about? It's too early for you to transform into a dragon!"
Xia Tian said with a little displeasure: "If you make any more noise, believe it or not, I will kill you with a shot."
The spirituality of that dragon vein is better than before. Now it loves and fears Xia Tian. When it hears the sound of drinking, it immediately calms down, like a pet, quite well-behaved.
"Puff puff!"
For the man in white robe on the other side, after the golden light was recovered, their hearts exploded for no reason, blood spurted out from their mouths, and they fell into the underground river. They didn't know where they would be washed away.
"Master Xia, you actually repaired this spiritual vein!"
The thin old man was overjoyed and rushed towards Xia Tian. He was so excited that he almost knelt down and said, "This is such a great kindness that I will never forget.
If there is any wrongdoing in the future, I, Chongyang Palace, will not hesitate to die."
"I have nothing to blame you for."
Xia Tian curled his lips, "I'm helping you because Master asked me for help. If you want to thank me, just thank him."
Zhang Mingtuo said very wisely: "Thank you for what I did. This is a great thing you have done."
"If you hadn't helped them survive until now, their spiritual veins would have been dispersed long ago."
Xia Tian yawned lazily, "Master, don't be too humble like me."
"Are you still humble?
What nonsense are you talking about?"
Zhang Mingtuo couldn't help but rolled his eyes at Xia Xia, "You should learn something from me, it's all Lu Ren and Allen's fault for teaching you to be so arrogant."
Xia Tian said with a smile: "I don't call this arrogance, but self-confidence."
"it's up to you."
Zhang Mingtuo knew Xia Tian's temperament and was too lazy to argue with him about such meaningless matters. He just asked: "Is the fifth injection you used just now?"
"Yes and no."
Xia Tian replied.
Zhang Mingtuo glared at Xia Tian dissatisfiedly: "Why should I have any relationship with your master?"
"Master, I'm not trying to sell anything, I'm telling the truth."
Xia Tian replied seriously: "That's one shot, not the fifth shot of the fifth shot!"
