Chapter 17 (2/2)

By now, the meridians in her left arm were already in tatters. The state of these meridians would have shocked anyone who could perceive them!

Though she was in great agony, Ling Chunxi resolutely reached for yet another long silver needle and pierced its tip through her own skin without hesitation upon identifying an acupoint.

After an excruciating amount of time had pa.s.sed, so it was that most of Ling Chunxi’s body was spiked with countless silver needles. The glimmer of inhuman light reflected off the army of needles made for a ghastly sight. Ling Chunxi’s face was pale and she had bitten her lips till blood was drawn.

‘A successful meridian reconstruction! But something isn’t right. What is it?’

Her eyes darkened as she endured the pain of pulling out each of the silver needles puncturing her skin one by one. Once she was done with this feat, she struggled to dress herself before finally pa.s.sing out.

Suddenly, a tinge of warmth began to slowly spread throughout her body. There was a glow of light as something soft and moist pressed against her face. ‘What is this?’
