Song of Adolescence

Chapter 190 Reversing Life and Death

Inside the Qilin Pavilion, the situation had changed drastically just a moment ago. Xiao Se, who had been sleeping for the last three days, suddenly sat up from the bed, and his qi surged out of his body violently. Xie Xuan had opened the door, intending to check on his condition, but was immediately struck with a fist and flew out. Xie Xuan was a martial expert of a certain realm, yet when he blocked the strike with his own fist, he was forced to retreat three steps.

"He’s really on the final radiance of sunset. Even his internal strength has risen a lot more than normal." Wuxin entered the room right behind and saw what happened, his voice tinged with sorrow.

"What\'s wrong?" Lei Wujie also leaned in to look.

"None of your business." Wuxin pushed his head out and kicked the door closed. "Unless we open the door, nobody comes in."

Xie Xuan frowned and looked over at Xiao Se and his bloodshot eyes which were no longer lucid. He said anxiously, "Indeed, the final radiance of sunset. Right now, all of the energy left in his body is bursting forth all at once. This energy can make him invincible for another incense stick, but after this stick of incense, he will be deader than dead."

"Is this because of that Three-Day Pill?" Wuxin asked worriedly. "Sure enough, everything in the world has its price."

Xie Xuan sighed. "Although I have a feeling it’ll be impossible, we still have to give it a try."

"Senior has a way?" Wuxin looked at Xie Xuan.

Xie Xuan whispered, "We subdue him first, then I will purge his latent meridians and completely vent his qi. He will never be able to practice martial arts again for the rest of his life, and may even have mobility problems in the future. But, I’ve thought about it for the last three days. This is the only way to save his life."

"All right." Wuxin nodded.

"Destroying all of his martial arts… I hope he won’t blame me when he wakes up." Xie Xuan sighed.

Wuxin shook his head. "I once destroyed all of my martial arts, but I gained my freedom."

As the two talked, the qi surrounding Xiao Se became even more turbulent. He yelled out loud, jumped into the air and attacked Xie Xuan.

"Do it!" Xie Xuan and Wuxin also jumped at the same time.

Outside the Qilin Pavilion, Hua Jin and the man in gold had just arrived.

"Where’s Xiao Se?" Hua Jin asked directly.

"In the pavilion." Seeing Hua Jin, Lei Wujie didn’t think about it further. He turned around and kicked the door open. The pavilion doors opened, and they saw Xiao Se standing in the middle of the room, his left hand matching palms with Wuxin, and his right hand with Xie Xuan. Vapour curled around his head, while his eyes were completely red, his forehead sweating profusely.

"Xiao Se!" Lei Wujie exclaimed in alarm.

"Stop calling, he can\'t hear you." Wuxin\'s white monk robe was soaked. He gasped and said to Xie Xuan, "Senior, let’s do it."

"All right." Xie Xuan raised his left palm.

"Stop!" Hua Jin suddenly shouted.

Xie Xuan and Wuxin turned towards her and Xie Xuan was stunned for a moment. "I presume this is the little genius doctor of Medicine King Valley. I wonder if the little genius doctor has a way?"

Hua Jin suddenly pulled off her belt, and a dozen silver needles floated up right in front of her. She took out a medicine bottle and poured the potion in the bottle onto the silver needles. With a wave of her hands, the dozen silver needles flew out and pierced into Xiao Se\'s head. Xiao Se\'s pupils dimmed immediately, all the energy left his body, and he lost consciousness.

"This needle technique is really amazing," Xie Xuan exclaimed while holding onto Xiao Se.

"All the busybodies, get out!" At this time, Hua Jin was no longer just a thirteen or fourteen year old girl. Her gestures were full of the confidence of a doctor. She stepped into the Qilin Pavilion and said, "Help me move him to the bed."

Xie Xuan, the Confucian Sword Immortal, one of the five great sword immortals under Heaven, once the chancellor of Jixia Academy in the imperial capital, and can be regarded as the emperor’s teacher, in that moment, in front of this girl who was only fourteen years old, he simply followed her orders. He picked up Xiao Se immediately and walked to the bed.

"Clear the rest," Hua Jin continued to give orders.

Wuxin nodded, turned around and closed the pavilion doors again with his palm, shutting Lei Wujie and others outside again.

"Take off his clothes." Hua Jin sat on the edge of the bed and gave the third order.

"Yes, ma’am." Xie Xuan said with a smile, feeling rather pleased about this veritable little genius doctor. Although her appearance was adorable and cute, her temper was exactly the same as the Medicine King Xin Baicao. No wonder that old man who already had one leg in his grave finally accepted this final disciple.

Hua Jin took out another handful of silver needles from the medicine case that she always carried with her. With a wave of her hand, all the silver needles pierced into Xiao Se\'s body. Even Wuxin was stunned as he watched her work and he praised, "I once saw Tang Lian\'s Flying Flowers of Ten Thousand Trees, but I think he’s not as skillful as you."

Hua Jin completely ignored his words. At this moment, she was completely immersed in her own world. In that world, there was only her and Xiao Se. Every time she raised her hand, Xiao Se took another breath. After she’d inserted a total of thirty-four silver needles into Xiao Se\'s body, Xiao Se\'s body changed again. The body that had already cooled down started to burn up again. Hua Jin took out a small white flower and crushed it with all her strength.

"The frosted white filiform flower?" Xie Xuan was surprised. This was an extremely rare herb.

Hua Jin stretched out her hand, which was covered with nectar, and waved it gently. She brushed the nectar onto Xiao Se\'s head. Hua Jin suddenly turned to look at Xie Xuan. "May I know this senior’s skill level?"

"Passable," Xie Xuan replied.

"It\'s a matter of life and death. I cannot afford passable. Please answer me again, Senior." Hua Jin looked at Xie Xuan with firm eyes.

Xie Xuan\'s heart trembled and he gave a slight smile. "Top ten in Beili."

"Very good." Hua Jin was not too shocked and simply explained, "Xiao Se’s latent meridians are damaged, so even though he has a whole body of internal strength, it’s useless because he can’t exert it. This time, he forcefully exerted his strength and injured those latent meridians. Now, his qi is in complete disarray within his body and his life is in danger any time. I hope Senior can help me to force his internal energy back into his latent meridians."

"I have been doing that up till a few days ago. But, every time I forced the energy back, it would leak again. With his body’s condition, he can’t endure it any more," Xie Xuan said.

"This time, I will seal his latent meridians," Hua Jin said. "First, I have used the frosted white filiform flower to calm his mind, because in a while, he will be in extreme agony. Some people may even die from the pain. What Senior needs to do is to force his qi back one more time. I have the last nine silver needles which I will use to seal his latent meridians."

"Yes, ma’am!" Xie Xuan put his palms on Xiao Se\'s back, and exerted all of his own qi.

Xiao Se frowned slightly, but still did not wake up.

"Senior!" Hua Jin shouted.

Xie Xuan nodded, and pushed his palms forward again. "In a while, when my qi is at its peak, Xiao Se’s qi will start to flow backwards. At that moment, you will only have one chance."

Hua Jin suddenly closed her eyes. She didn\'t know martial arts, and only understood medical science. She closed her eyes and listened only to Xiao Se’s breathing. The moment that Xiao Se’s breathing suddenly changed, that was her chance.

Her chance.

Was right now!

Hua Jin opened her eyes, flicked her fingers, and the last nine silver needles flew out!
