Towards the Galaxy
Chapter 18

"Who did you hear this from?" Xia Qingyue asked with a cold frown. He was shocked in his heart. The people from the Frozen Cloud Fairy Palace had a much shorter lifespan than the people from the other Sects. This was a cruel fact, and even in the Frozen Cloud Fairy Palace, it was a secret, and was always hidden by the upper elders of the Frozen Cloud Fairy Palace. And since the level of the Frozen Cloud Fairy Palace was very high, the lifespan of the people in the palace was also very long. Therefore, this fact is not very clear.

The reason why Xia Qingyue knew, was because her master dazedly said it after she got a breakthrough, and told her that this was the greatest weakness of the Frozen Cloud Art, and firmly ordered him not to tell anyone, including his senior and junior sister. But now, Xiao Che actually said it out loud.

"If I were the Palace Master of the Frozen Cloud Fairy Palace, I would definitely use all the methods to suppress this kind of 'defects', and not let outsiders know. Who do you think I'm going to hear it from? "Xiao Che curled his lips and said: "I actually came to this conclusion from your pulse, that's all. Looking at your reaction, it seems like I have said everything correctly. "

"I can't believe it!" Xia Qingyue firmly shook her head. He could deduce the great secret that the Frozen Cloud Fairy Palace had been hiding all this time from just a pulse? Really ridiculous! If it were really that simple, there were many genius physicians in the Wind Empire, and the secret of the Frozen Cloud Fairy Palace should have already spread throughout the world many years ago.

But everything Xiao Che had said just now, went straight to the point, without any deviation. This made Xia Qingyue confused in her heart.

"I know you won't believe me." Xiao Che picked up the medicine pot and bag on the ground, and walked into the room: "Follow me."

Xia Qingyue's gaze was attached to the objects in her hands. After a slight hesitation, he followed her into the room and closed the door.

"Sit down." Putting down the medicine pot and his bag, Xiao Che ordered Xia Qingyue.

"What are you gonna do?" Xia Qingyue looked at him with a confused expression.

"Of course to treat you."

"Not needed." Xia Qingyue shook her head.

“Needed or not, you better try it first before drawing a conclusion.. Hey! Don't tell me you don't even want to try?”

Xiao Che opened the package and took out a silver box. He sighed, and disappointment surfaced on his face. "I know you don't believe what I'm saying. But at the very least, I don't have the ability to hurt you, nor do I have any reason to hurt you. I went to the Medicine Hall early in the morning to get these things, and I just want you back to health. If there is an effect, it will be good. If there is no effect, it will not lose anything ... Because you don't believe and don't want to try, then forget about it. Think of it like I'm thinking too much.”

Xiao Che's words caused Xia Qingyue to stare blankly for a moment. Then, a trace of guilt appeared in his heart .. Indeed, what he said earlier, and what he was going to do, were all to help him recover, and do not ask for anything or make any requests from him. As he said, he basically had no reason or ability to hurt her.

Xia Qingyue sighed in her heart, and sat down next to Xiao Che. "How do you want to treat me?"

"… Are you willing?" Xiao Che glanced at him, then snorted and turned his face away.

Her childish demeanor made Xia Qingyue not know whether to laugh or cry. His voice also slowed down. "I want to see how you treat me."

"En, that's a good boy." As Xiao Che turned his face again, he had a smiling expression on his face. This made Xia Qingyue startled .. This person, the speed at which she changed her expression was really too fast!

"Grow your hand out."

Xiao Che sat in front of Xia Qingyue, and Xia Qingyue also spread her hands, stretching them out on the table. His loose red sleeves were pulled to his elbows, revealing two jade arms that were as white as snow.

Xiao Che opened the silver box, and inside, there were dozens of silver needles as thin as silk.

"Silver fragrances ... Don't tell me you're gonna use acupuncture?" Xia Qingyue's brows lifted.

“En? You really know about acupuncture?” Xiao Che looked at her in surprise. Back in the Azure Cloud Continent, there were less than ten people who knew how to use acupuncture, including him and his master, the Medical God. But in the Sky Continent, it seemed that it was a common medical skill. In the Medicine Hall of the Xiao Clan, one could even find a set of acupuncture equipment.

"Of course I know. I also know that acupuncture skills have a very high requirement for proficiency. It takes more than ten years to achieve small success, and decades to achieve great success. I've never heard of you studying medicine, not to mention acupuncture. Moreover, your room has no trace or smell of medicine. What are you trying to do? "Xia Qingyue's eyes were filled with suspicion and vigilance.

Xiao Che opened the small bottle, lightly dipped the silver needle, and said: "Do I know how to use acupuncture or not, you will know soon. Of course, if you feel uncomfortable, or if you feel that I'm joking with you, you can stop me at any time. "

"What's that bottle filled with?" Xia Qingyue's gaze turned to the small medicine bottle.

"Ordinary Sunflower Juice." Xiao Che casually replied, his gaze was fixed on Xia Qingyue's snow-white hand, and the left hand holding the silver needle trembled.

This movement of Xiao Che was extremely fast, so fast that Xia Qingyue could not even react in time. When Xiao Che pulled his left hand, the silver needle between his fingers had disappeared, and on his right wrist, a silver needle had been inserted vertically.

He did not feel any pain, and it could even be said that he did not feel anything. If he had not seen this silver needle with his own eyes, he would not even have known that the silver needle had pierced through his wrist. Xia Qingyue's expression changed .. quickly? No, it's definitely not fast! It's skilled! It was a highly skilled breed that had reached an astounding level!

Xiao Che had taken out a second silver needle, dipped it into a bit of Sunflower Juice, and brought it closer to Xia Qingyue's right hand. With a slight wobble on his wrist, the second silver needle had already accurately pierced through Yang Gu's Acupuncture Point. Following which, the third and fourth silver needles each pierced through the acupuncture points of Zhong Zhu and He Gu.

After the right hand, four other silver needles were consecutively thrust into the Acupuncture Point Yang Chi, Yang Gu, Zhong Zhu, and He Gu in the left hand. Every time she broke through, her movements were so fast that Xia Qingyue could only see a flash of shadow. The astonishment in his heart also overlapped layer by layer as silver needles pierced through his body.

He did not know if Xiao Che's "treatment" would be influential, but his highly skilled technique made Xia Qingyue unable to believe that this was actually done by a sixteen-year-old young man.

"Pease your hands, calm your breath, and definitely don't use force."

Xiao Che's voice rang out in his ears. He also cooperated with Xiao Che, loosened his arms, and calmed his heart. At this moment, he suddenly felt an ice-cold aura condensing on his left and right hands. Then, as if he had found a way out, he quickly rushed towards the Acupuncture Point of Yang Chi, Yang Gu, Zhong Zhu, and He Gu who were pierced by silver needles …

Immediately, a wisp of white mist slowly rose from the eight silver needles. The cold aura contained within the fog caused the surrounding temperature to drop rapidly. Sensing the cold aura flowing through his meridians and the white mist that was rapidly escaping, Xia Qingyue's snow-white face changed drastically.

The white fog rose for a few minutes before completely stopping. At this moment, Xiao Che suddenly extended his hand. His hands moved together, and his fingers moved like ghosts. In an instant, the eight silver needles that were thrust into Xia Qingyue's hands had all returned to her hands, and she then put them into another box.

"This cold aura is even heavier than I imagined. Fortunately, you met me." Xiao Che muttered in a low voice, then closed the silver needle box, and casually said: "Qingyue my wife, how does your hand feel right now ?"

Xia Qingyue raised both her hands as ripples surged through her eyes. Relaxed, comfortable, and warm. It was as if he had suddenly been freed from some sort of heavy shackle. This was the first time he felt warmth in his palms and arms after developing the Frozen Cloud Art. He raised his eyes to look at Xiao Che, and asked in surprise, "What exactly is this?"

"Actually very simple. I was just guiding and releasing the cold aura in your hands and the meridians in your hands, and also unblocking the blocked meridians." Xiao Che said lightly, The profound art of your Frozen Cloud Fairy Palace can make Xuan Qi ice-cold, and thus increase its strength. The reason why the ice-cold Xuan Qi is stronger is because its cold aura can injure people. Before harming others, you must first harm yourself. It's very simple logic."

"When I touched your palm this morning, I found that the temperature of the palm was much lower than the body temperature of a normal person. Perhaps the people in the Frozen Cloud Fairy Palace would naturally think that this was a normal phenomenon caused by the cultivation of the Frozen Cloud Art, but from a medical point of view, it was a normal phenomenon, it would be strange if such body temperature could be normal!! Normally, when Xuan Qi was not moved, Xuan Qi was stored in deep veins, and would not affect the body. But once it happened to be used, the Frozen Xuan Qi Cloud would flow throughout the body. When released, it would hurt others, but when circulated, it would definitely injure itself! You shouldn't have developed the Frozen Cloud Art for many years, but a large amount of cold aura had permeated into the five innards, six intestines, blood, bone marrow, dantian. Moreover, it piled up more and more. Over time, it would cause serious damage to all the organs of the body, and it would be strange if it did not have a short lifespan! It's normal to have that negative reaction.

“In addition, under the cold aura, many meridians in the body will also be spastic and clogged frequently, which will have a great impact on the performance of Xuan Qi. Right now, you can try circulating Xuan Qi in hand, and see if there is no difference from before." Xiao Che said with a serious expression.

Xiao Che's eloquent speech made sense and reasoned, with a beginning and an end, and cause and effect. Moreover, the reason was very easy to understand, even a fool could understand it. Other than Xia Qingyue's reaction, there was basically no way to question or refute her.

But when Xiao Che spoke with a serious expression, he was actually grimacing in his heart .. Because what he said was indeed true, but even though it was true!

It was true that the cold aura accumulated in the body would harm the body, and it would also seal the meridians as well right, then what did the Frozen Cloud Fairy Palace do! Not to mention standing at the top of the Wind Continent, they would probably not have been able to survive eight hundred years ago. After cultivating the Frozen Cloud Art for some time, the body would fully adapt to the Frozen Cloud Art. Then, although the cold aura within the body would still endanger one's life, it would not continue to harm the body. Instead, it would be a support, and the blocked meridians would naturally not be obstructed.

But Xia Qingyue had only developed the Frozen Cloud Art for three to four years, so it was naturally impossible for her to reach the stage of "adapting completely". Combining her words with her personal feelings, and adding feelings after "conditioning", Xiao Che's words sounded perfect to her.

"Conditioning", is just an excuse. "The "defect" of the Frozen Cloud Art, was also just an excuse. What he wants to do, only he knows.
