Chapter 60: Golden Needle Revives Life (Part 2)

  Night, 11 pm - 1 am

  The moonlight is very bright, like a jade plate hanging high in the sky.

  In front of the Lingyun Villa's front yard, there was a stone platform where Jiang Xu was placing candles one by one in different positions.

  This stone platform is where Old Master Liu usually practices his fist and exercises, it's very spacious, more than enough for Jiang Xu to use.

  In the middle of the stone platform was a yellow cushion, and at this moment, Old Master Liu was sitting cross-legged on it, his eyes slightly closed, with a hint of expectation flickering between them.

  One hundred and eight candles were arranged by Jiang Xu into a mysterious formation.

  Liu Zhi Ning and He Chang Ying followed behind Jiang Xu, lighting the fire candles one by one. As for Liu Ling Hua and others, they all stood far away watching.

  Everyone's expression at this moment is extremely solemn, especially Liu Linghua and Liu Lingqing, because Jiang Xu's success or failure will directly affect the future trend of the Liu family.

  After all this was ready, Jiang Xu said to Liu Zhi Ning and He Chang Ying: "You two go out, no matter what happens, no one is allowed to make any noise."

  "Alright."

  Liu Zhi Ning nodded slightly and then walked with He Chang Ying towards Liu Ling Hua and the others.

  Liu Linghua looked around and saw that in order to prevent Jiang Xu from being affected, the surrounding area of Lingyun Villa was heavily guarded by two high-level military units. Inside the villa, every corner had more than a dozen highly skilled imperial guards secretly guarding it.

  And all of this was just so that nothing would affect Jiang Xu.

  Jiang Xuzhen took out a needle box and walked in front of Liu Lao, saying: "Liu Lao, I'm starting now."

  "Let's get started."

  Liu Lao nodded slightly and then completely closed his almost shut eyes.

  Jiang Xu didn't hesitate any longer, and with a silver needle in hand, he directly pierced the Shenting acupoint on top of Liu's head. Unlike usual, Jiang Xu's speed was very slow this time, as if every single needle was extremely difficult for him.

  One hundred and eight needles, Jiang Xu used almost an hour to insert all of them into the acupoints on Liu's body.

  If you look closely, you will find that the one hundred and eight silver needles pierced by Jiang Xu are almost identical to the one hundred and eight torches in terms of position and formation.

  This hundred and zero wolf needles are obviously a huge consumption for Jiang Xu.

  Jiang Xu's face had already turned noticeably pale, and the sweat on his forehead was falling uncontrollably, but Jiang Xu's expression remained incredibly calm and determined, without any relaxation.

  Because this is just the beginning.

  After completing the first step, Jiang Xu's fingers once again stretched towards the acupoint where his first needle had entered - Shenting.

  Then, Jiang Xu's eyes slightly closed.

  His fingers moved in a very unique rhythm, gently pulling out the silver needle and then inserting it again, pulling it out and inserting it again.

  At this moment, a magical scene took place.

  Every time the silver needle moved, the flames of the one hundred and eight candles would flicker once.

  Plop... plop...

  That feeling is as if the heartbeat of the human body is beating.

  Watching this unbelievable scene, Liu Lingqing and others in the distance were almost all agape, their eyes filled with shock.

  And on He Long's aged face was an expression full of boundless veneration.

  Divine skill, it's absolutely a legendary divine skill.

  In the thousands of years of Chinese history, countless precious and mysterious acupuncture techniques have long been lost in the river of time. However, some ancient medical books still vaguely record some of them.

  He Changying had in his hand an ancient medical book that recorded many legendary acupuncture techniques.

  And if he wasn't mistaken, the acupuncture technique Jiang Xu was using at this moment should be the legendary... Revival Heavenly Needle.

  However, what is recorded in the book and what I saw with my own eyes are two completely different things.

  He Changying knew that he would probably never master this legendary acupuncture technique in his lifetime, but as long as he could take a glimpse of it, he would have no regrets even if he died.

  In fact, He Changying's guess was not wrong.

  Jiang Xu was currently displaying one of the most mysterious medical techniques in Huaxia, known as the Revival Heavenly Needle, which defied the natural order.

  Using the fire needle as a guide, ignite the most primitive flame of life in the human body, burn the last potential of life, and gain a longer lifespan. However, the Tianzhen needle can only extend one's life for five years at most. After five years, the flame of life will extinguish itself, and one's lifespan will come to an abrupt end.

  Time slowly passed by, and the flames of those 108 candles were like a dazzling firework, burning wildly.

  The brighter the flame, the faster the candle burns out.

  Jiang Xu's clothes were drenched in sweat, his face was as pale as paper, and his eyes were extremely solemn.

  The Revival Heavenly Needle's consumption of spiritual energy was too great, far beyond Jiang Xiu's expectations. Even with his soul force to recover, he still felt a sense of overconsumption at this moment.

  It can be said that his body is already at the limit.

  However, the most important step of Revival Heavenly Needle has not been completed yet. At this moment, there absolutely cannot be any mistakes, otherwise it will not only fail to revive him but also directly extinguish Liu Laoye's flame of life.

  Jiang Xu cannot fail and will not allow himself to fail.

  Even if the soul energy in his body had been exhausted, he must persevere no matter what.

  And those one hundred and eight candles, under the crazy burning, gradually disappeared. Just as all the candles burned out, Jiang Xiu suddenly pulled out the silver needle that was inserted in the Shentian hole.

  At that moment, an unexpected scene appeared again.

  The last spark emitted by the 108 candles seemed to have come to life, and it flew quickly towards Jiang Xue's silver needle.

  "Drink."

  A soft shout came from Jiang Xu's mouth.

  The silver needle in his hand directly brought 108 sparks into Liu Laoye's Shentian acupoint once again.

  Those sparks were like a warm current, instantly spreading throughout Liu Laoye's body, and his originally weak heartbeat gradually became strong and powerful at this moment. The urgent breathing also gradually became long and deep.

  Finally, those flashes of insight converged between Liu Laoye's dan Tian, and the fire of life was ignited in this moment.

  Feeling Liu Lao's increasingly strong heartbeat, Jiang Xu finally revealed a faint smile on his face. With the last bit of strength, he pulled out the silver needle between the Shenting acupoints, and then his eyes closed, and he fainted directly to the ground.

  Jiang Xu could no longer hold on, but everything he wanted to do had been done.

  And the rest of the things, He Changying can handle them.

  What Jiang Xu wanted to do most at this moment was to have a good sleep, and everything else could wait until he woke up.

  But Old Man Liu, at this moment, slowly opened his eyes.

  Those originally turbid eyes have now become extremely clear and profound, his complexion has also gradually turned ruddy, the twilight old age breath on his body has been swept away, replaced by a strong life breath that cannot be described in words.

  All of this, Liu Lao could feel very clearly for himself.

  Feeling the long-lost vitality in his body, Liu Laoye's face couldn't help but reveal an irrepressible excitement.

  In the distance, Liu Lingqing and others rushed over at the moment when Jiang Xu fainted.

  "Dad, what's wrong with Jiang Xu?"

  Looking at Jiang Xu who had fainted and fallen to the ground, Liu Lingqing's face showed a few more shades of anxiety.

  Liu Linghua was also like this, because they all didn't know whether Jiang Xu's attempt to extend his father's life had succeeded or failed.

  Mr. Liu naturally knew the answer, he stretched out his hand to signal Liu Lingqing not to disturb Jiang Xu, then said softly: "Jiang Xu should be too tired, let him rest for a while."

  "Dad, how's your body?"

  Liu Lingqing and others' eyes were all tightly fixed on Old Man Liu, their faces extremely tense, also extremely expectant.

  Under everyone's expectant gaze, Old Man Liu nodded lightly.
