Chapter 120 News of Attack (1/2)
In an open-air pavilion inside the Vermillion Sonata Castle.
”Hmmm?” Mo Xie looked at the grand hall curiously.
It had been roughly five hours since Huotian and Shenyu had entered; [If there's no ruckus, then it must've been a success... They have to do it for five days based on the Heavenly Yin and Yang Sutra... Congratulations to both of you.]
Mo Xie smiled as he continued what he's doing.
”Guuk!” Uncle Shi moaned in pain.
”Ah! Sorry, wrong point.” Mo Xie spoke as he poked a needle in a wrong place.
Uncle Shi wanted to rebuke, but Mo Xie is only an apprentice, although he's an apprentice of a Medical Saint, it is only natural for an apprentice to make a couple of mistakes.
He can also see how serious Mo Xie's expression is, hence, he didn't make such a big deal out of it.
Mo Xie had made at least ten mistakes, and every one of them felt like a sword pierced his body, even an expert like him who's at the peak of Heaven Encompassing rank will feel dreadful about it.
But if he knew that Mo Xie wasn't even paying much attention to him, he would definitely cause a ruckus from rage.
”H-how many needles are you actually planning to place in my body? You've been doing that for the past couple of hours.” Uncle Shi spoke as beads of sweat are stowing to appear from his body.
”Hmmm?” Mo Xie heard this and immediately looked at Uncle Shi's body. After seeing it, his expression didn't change as he continued counting the needles.
[I've placed 399 needles than needed...] Mo Xie thought as he started removing some.
”Oh, is it finish already?” Uncle Shi sighed with relief.
”No, I`m just removing the excess needles.” (Mo Xie)
[Excess needles...] (Uncle Shi)
”...”
The atmosphere between them became stale as Uncle Shi looked at Mo Xie speechlessly.
”No, just that, I needed those needles to make your dantians more sensitive!” Mo Xie immediately spoke trying to explain his non-existing side.
”Oh... That's definitely something new, I have a lot of physicians as friends yet they know nothing of such a thing.” Uncle Shi nodded as he added; ”As expected of a Medical Saint's apprentice.”
Uncle Shi continuously nodded his head in approval.
Mo Xie breaths out a sigh of relief as he continued plucking the useless needles off.
At this moment, Mo Xie looks at Uncle Shi's body which has a total number of 1,000 needles pierced on his body.
[I want to prolong the treatment... But what excuse should I make?...] Mo Xie's thoughts kept wandering.
_Tak~ Tok~ Tak~ Tok~_ (Sounds of rushing footsteps.)
Mo Xie hearing this couldn't help but looks around and saw a few people running towards the grand hall.
”Why are they in a rush?” (Mo Xie)
”Hmmm?” Uncle Shi opens his eyes and spoke; ”There seemed to be an urgent matter for the Kingdom to deal with, they are carrying red flags, it means it is a top great danger for the citizens of this land.”
”Oh!” Mo Xie exclaimed seemingly understand what he needs to delay his treatment.
”I`ll be back, don't move from there and start your close door isolation!” Mo Xie spoke as he immediately jumped out of the pavilion leaving Uncle Shi alone.
[It's not like you can move with all those needles in your body.] (Mo Xie)
”Oy! Wait, I`ll come too!” Uncle Shi spoke as he tried to move, but as soon as he did; ”Hmmm? I can't move... my body...”
”Oh, that's just some paralyzing needles, unless you break through or I remove it, you won't be able to move from that spot, be sure to continuously deplete your Spiritual Energy through it and gather it again through the needles.” Mo Xie spoke as he slowly vanishes from Uncle Shi's vision.
”That! That kid!”
Uncle Shi exclaimed, he had not heard of such a thing before, being able to break through just from expelling his own Spiritual Energy.
”It will take at least a month for me to expel my own Spiritual Energy... Do I really have to?!” Uncle Shi exclaimed but still did it.
”Hmm? ... HMM?!” But after that, he was shocked, it is actually many folds faster than dispelling his Spiritual Energy normally; ”What kind of technique is this...”
