Chapter 770: Chapter 720: Relying on Acupuncture Technique (2)

"Previously, we went to explore a Secret Realm together, remember? The one belonging to the Little Pool Immortal?"

Shi Yuezhu thought for a moment, then nodded: "I remember Jinyu was with us too."

Shen Han lightly pressed his lips, clearly remembering Su Jinyu well.

"In the Secret Realm of the Little Pool Immortal, I learned a set of Acupuncture Techniques."

"Are you saying that by using this Acupuncture Technique, you can help others unlock the physical restraints within their bodies?"

Shi Yuezhu still had a touch of doubt.

The methods left by the Immortal must be extremely profound.

But to be able to unlock the layers of physical restraints was still somewhat unbelievable.

"I know it’s hard to believe, and I wouldn’t tell this to others.

But if you don’t believe it, Yuezhu, I can prove it to you.

Give me an ordinary Pill, and I’ll use this Pill along with the Acupuncture Technique, to try and unlock the restraints in their bodies."

Hearing this from Shen Han, Shi Yuezhu paused, but eventually took out a Pill and handed it to Shen Han.

This Pill was just a regular Calm Heart Pill.

It’s used to calm the heart and soothe the mind.

It certainly had no effect on unlocking physical restraints.

After taking out the Pill, Shi Yuezhu also left the courtyard.

Soon, she brought Liu Xilan into the courtyard.

"Keep it a secret, don’t tell anyone else."

Shi Yuezhu softly instructed.

Seeing Shen Han beside him, and hearing Shi Yuezhu’s words, Liu Xilan quickly understood.

A look of gratitude appeared on her face.

"Thank you, Junior Master Yuezhu..."

As she spoke, she glanced at Shen Han to express her gratitude.

In front of Shen Han, Liu Xilan always felt at a loss for words.

Inside her heart, a sense of regret lingered.

If it weren’t for Shi Yuezhu, perhaps she would have had a chance to compete.

But unfortunately, the person he cared for was her Junior Master Yuezhu.

"Just like before."

Shen Han no longer hesitated and gave instructions.

"Go to my room."

With that, Shi Yuezhu pulled Liu Xilan into her room.

Shen Han handed over a Pill, the same Calm Heart Pill that Shi Yuezhu had given before.

Liu Xilan didn’t hesitate, taking the Pill immediately.

She began to remove her clothes.

Although it was inevitable to be seen during the acupuncture process, Shen Han still turned around at the right moment.

Shen Han couldn’t deny Liu Xilan’s allure in his heart.

But his heart belonged to Shi Yuezhu, and he naturally paid attention to this.

Left with only minimal covering, Liu Xilan lay on the bed.

With Shi Yuezhu still in the room, she felt less awkward.

But somehow, it added another layer of awkwardness.

With the silver needle in hand, Shen Han didn’t hesitate and began the acupuncture.

As the needle tip pierced in, a wave of pain instantly wrapped around Liu Xilan’s body.

The pain was apparent.

But for Liu Xilan, it was entirely bearable.

Compared to elevating her talent, enduring more pain was acceptable.

Shen Han continued the acupuncture, with sweat beginning to form on his forehead.

Those with talent in the Old Method often have limited talent in the new system, with fewer physical restraints unlocked.

Except for a few exceptions, most people were like this.

Even after unlocking two restraints for Liu Xilan, she had only unlocked four in total.

Shen Han planned to unlock two more restraints for her today.

Unlocking six restraints would make cultivation slightly easier.

Lunchtime was skipped entirely; Shen Han’s acupuncture could not afford any mistakes.

It wasn’t until four two-hour periods later that Shen Han finished the acupuncture.

During the entire process, Shi Yuezhu assisted Shen Han, constantly checking on his condition.

Performing acupuncture truly consumed much mental and physical energy.

After these few hours of acupuncture, Shen Han’s complexion had noticeably worsened.

Putting away the silver needles, Shen Han then left the room.

Only Liu Xilan and Shi Yuezhu remained inside.

Shi Yuezhu reached out to check Liu Xilan’s physical condition.

The previously unlocked four restraints had now become six.

This acupuncture session had indeed unlocked two more restraints for her.

Upon discovering this, Shi Yuezhu couldn’t help but frown tightly.

The Pill Liu Xilan had just taken was definitely a Calm Heart Pill.

How could a single Calm Heart Pill possibly aid in Liu Xilan’s advancement?

This meant that what Shen Han said was true.

Unlocking physical restraints didn’t require any Pill or Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

What was needed was Shen Han’s acupuncture.

Liu Xilan looked at her exposed body and quickly covered it with her clothes.

Seeing Shi Yuezhu’s expression, she felt a bit of worry.

After dressing, she checked her body.

Confirming the six restraints unlocked, Liu Xilan became more puzzled.

"Junior Master Yuezhu, why are you frowning? Is something wrong..."

Returning to her senses, Shi Yuezhu immediately changed her expression.

Shi Yuezhu realized Liu Xilan misunderstood, thinking she was worried about something going wrong earlier.

"No, no, this enhancement went very smoothly, with no issues at all.

I was just thinking about something, don’t worry about it."

The two women walked out of the room together, with the blush on Liu Xilan’s face fading significantly, though still slightly visible.

In the courtyard, Shen Han had already brought some food and placed it on the stone table.

He was indeed quite hungry, having exhausted so much energy without having lunch, hunger was inevitable.

"Let’s eat together, we must all be hungry."

Shi Yuezhu looked at the dishes, like a hostess, inviting Liu Xilan to join.

Liu Xilan, however, found several reasons to say she needed to stabilize her cultivation and had other matters to attend to.

Hearing this, Shi Yuezhu didn’t press her to stay any longer.

Before leaving, Liu Xilan bowed to Shen Han once more in gratitude.

Having unlocked two more restraints, such talent in the Southern Heaven Continent would likely only qualify as a Servant Disciple.

She had relied on Shen Han’s help to significantly elevate her talent.

With six restraints unlocked, becoming a Direct Disciple at a major sect would be a breeze.

After Liu Xilan left, the two of them sat at the stone table.

Shen Han naturally closed the courtyard door.

"Now you believe me, right? Unlocking the restraints doesn’t require any Pill.

The acupuncture technique left by Little Pool Immortal is enough to resolve these."

Shi Yuezhu nodded.

But between her brows, there seemed to be more concern.

Shen Han noticed her thoughts.

He gently stroked her: "Are you still worried about something?"

Seeing Shen Han ask, Shi Yuezhu smiled gently and shook her head.

"What do I have to worry about? Everything is on the right track now, much better than before..."

The more Shi Yuezhu spoke like this, the more Shen Han worried.

"Is it really nothing...

Why does it feel like there’s so much unease in your heart, Yuezhu..."

As he spoke, Shen Han looked at Shi Yuezhu.

"If there’s anything, just tell me, we’ll face it together."

His words carried a hint of determination, though he didn’t know what Shi Yuezhu was worried about.

Hearing this, Shi Yuezhu suddenly threw herself into Shen Han’s arms.

"Perhaps I’m worrying needlessly, but I really feel like I’m becoming unworthy of you..."

Shi Yuezhu was a bit older than Shen Han. In the past, she was always so composed, approaching everything carefully.

But today, she seemed different, like a little woman.

Shen Han’s face showed a gentle smile as he embraced Shi Yuezhu.

He simply had her sit on his lap.

This action made Shi Yuezhu somewhat nervous, instinctively wanting to pull away.

But Shen Han held her tightly, not letting her leave.

"If you’re worrying about this, it’s really unnecessary.

We’ve been through so much together, overcome many hardships and dangers.

What brought us together, besides mutual affection, are those experiences.

If it were about who deserves who, you should’ve looked down on me before."

"I haven’t; I never looked down on you..."

"So, how could I look down on you then..."

The two teased each other playfully, which was rather amusing.
