The Invincible Strongest Student

Chapter 783: Chapter 783: Ruyan’s Spiritual Qi

”Is there anything else you need me to do now?” Miaoqiu asked.

”No, there’s nothing else. Just make sure no one comes in to disturb me.” Lin Tian replied without turning his head.

”Don’t worry about that, no one will disturb you.”

Miaoqiu looked at Lin Tian’s focused expression, feeling a bit jealous but mostly relieved. With him being so concentrated, Ruyan should be fine...

Lin Tian took out a long, thin silver needle, gently twirled it on his fingertip, making the entire needle turn red hot as if it were burning coal.

Then, the needle was inserted directly down, precisely into the center of the Qi Sea acupoint.

Buzz...

Suddenly, a strange phenomenon occurred; the long silver needle began to tremble violently, emitting a sound like a buzzing bee. Lin Tian was startled.

The Qi Sea is an important acupoint for ordinary people.

For cultivators, it is not just an acupoint but a source of spiritual qi and inner strength.

The importance of this acupoint is self-evident.

But the phenomenon before him left Lin Tian somewhat disoriented. The needle shouldn’t have any reaction after being inserted, so why was there a buzzing sound?

Lin Tian immediately withdrew the needle, then lifted the edge of Mei Ruyan’s clothes, placing his right index and middle fingers gently on the Qi Sea acupoint. Spiritual qi flowed from his fingers into Mei Ruyan’s Qi Sea, only to be met with tremendous resistance.

”How could this happen... It’s too strange...” Lin Tian’s expression turned severe; there was something hidden inside Mei Ruyan’s Qi Sea!

After repeated probing, Lin Tian confirmed one thing: there was an extremely pure spiritual qi within Mei Ruyan’s Qi Sea.

Lin Tian had no idea where this qi came from, but it was certainly present. Although not plentiful, it was enough for a breakthrough to a low-level martial artist.

Yet, Lin Tian had never noticed anything unusual about Mei Ruyan. With so much spiritual qi, she should have been able to do things beyond the abilities of ordinary people.

Unable to make sense of this, Lin Tian decided not to dwell on it. The most important thing now was Mei Ruyan’s wellbeing, not the spiritual qi inside her.

This time, Lin Tian dared not apply the needle on the Qi Sea acupoint again. If any mistake occurred, not even a remedy would suffice!

The chong meridian runs from head to feet, traversing the entire body and is one of the most important meridians in the human body.

The chong meridian can regulate the qi and blood of the twelve channels, thus being referred to as the ”Sea of the Twelve Channels,” the ”Sea of the Five Viscera and Six Bowels,” and the ”Sea of Blood.” It runs parallel to the ren meridian and communicates with the du meridian.

After abandoning the Qi Sea acupoint, Lin Tian applied needles at the Yu Mansion acupoint below the throat, Huanzhong acupoint, Shenzang acupoint... ultimately at the Dahe acupoint and the Henggu acupoint.

With each needle, Lin Tian used enough spiritual qi to forcibly arrange the chaotic energies inside Mei Ruyan.

The ”Difficult Classic” by Master Yue Ren states: ”In case of chong meridian disorder, energy reverses and causes internal urgency.”

The reversed energy refers to chaotic qi, which can be treated with herbs, but Mei Ruyan couldn’t afford the delay.

This set of acupuncture took over half an hour, and Lin Tian was drenched in sweat. He not only had to perfect the acupuncture but also ensure that his spiritual qi did not conflict with the spiritual qi in Mei Ruyan’s Qi Sea; only he knew the difficulties involved.

Removing the needles was simple; a pinch and a twist to withdraw them and then return them to the cloth bag.

Finally, Lin Tian checked Mei Ruyan’s pulse once more, finding it much improved compared to before, her breathing smoother, but puzzlingly, the spiritual qi in the Qi Sea remained unexplained.

”Miaoqiu!” Lin Tian called out toward the door.

”I’m here, what’s the matter?” Miaoqiu, who was waiting by the door, rushed in, seeing the wrinkles on Lin Tian’s brow, she cautiously asked, ”What’s wrong? Her health...”

”She previously had difficulty breathing, fluctuating temperature, and chaotic energy, likely due to too much strain on her body. I have now infused her with spiritual qi, and her condition has greatly improved but requires rest. However, I can’t understand one thing.” Lin Tian said with a serious expression.

”Please go ahead.”

”As you said before, Ruyan rarely interacted with your Xu Family. Moreover, she hasn’t practiced your Xu Family’s inner power heart method, so why does she have a very pure spiritual qi in her Qi Sea? If she wishes, she can break through to a low-level martial artist anytime.” Lin Tian asked gravely.

”What?!” Miaoqiu exclaimed, ”How is that possible?”

Miaoqiu’s charming eyes widened incredulously as she looked at Mei Ruyan on the bed.

For an ordinary person to reach the realm of a low-level martial artist, it usually takes at least ten years of practice, along with many precious medicinal aids.

Miaoqiu herself is a mid-level martial artist, aware of the difficulty for an ordinary person to reach that realm.

A person like Mei Ruyan, who hasn’t even been exposed to a heart method... How could that be?

”It seems you don’t know either.” Observing her expression, Lin Tian bitterly smiled, ”Fortunately, she has this spiritual qi. Otherwise, with such a huge array yesterday, given her physical overspending, I would have been at a loss.”

This was already a blessing in disguise, and the inexplicable spiritual qi could be considered a fortunate event.

”We’ll talk about this later. Now, take Ruyan away from here quickly. Though I don’t know when they’ll make a move, it should be soon. I know too well how those families operate. After all, this is Luoyan Dock. If we get to South City, would our Xu Family fear them?!”

As she spoke, Miaoqiu sat by the bed, helping Mei Ruyan put on thick warm clothes and a down jacket.

Lin Tian, not knowing how to console her, simply said, ”After Ruyan and I leave, you all should leave here as soon as possible.”

Miaoqiu smiled wryly, ”Leave? I can’t leave. My father is seriously ill, and besides the elders, I am the decision-maker of the Xu Family. After such a big incident last night, how could I leave without a resolution? Moreover, the Alliance wouldn’t let us leave. Enough, let’s not talk about this. You should leave quickly, lest delays bring new developments.”

”Alright! Take care of yourselves. I’ll return to help you if I can.” Lin Tian said.

Miaoqiu gave Lin Tian an enchanting glare and playfully said, ”You rascal, don’t come back once you leave. You should stay as far away from here as possible.”

Lin Tian smiled without answering, pulled out a mask from his pocket, put it on, and laughed, ”Don’t worry. Now, I’m not Lin Tian; I’m a member of the Security Management Institute, code name Artillery King. I get along well with those elders in the Alliance.”

Miaoqiu, having seen Lin Tian’s mask before, wasn’t surprised. But upon hearing ”Artillery King,” she couldn’t help but burst into laughter, ”You... Artillery King? More like a fledgling bird, aren’t you?”

Her teasing left Lin Tian momentarily dazed, inwardly cursing: Fox spirit! If the situation weren’t urgent, I’d deal with you on the spot!
