Chapter 873: Saving Helian Rong
Five days later, Helian Zhan, Wang Chunyang, and Ouyang He brought Zhuge Cang back to Yunwu Mountain's Base.
After the three left with Zhuge Cang, the next night, Zhu Tianshou sent thirty-three people onto the plane together.
These thirty-three people were martial artists from small families or sects that once followed the three factions of Zhuge, Duanmu, and Giant Sword Manor.
They were captured late-stage Innate Realm experts during the Qingtian Sect battle for not escaping in time.
Among those captured back then, there were as many as thirty-seven late-stage Innate Realm experts. Now, most of them have individually met with Zhu Tianshou under the persuasion and recommendation of Duanmu Wentong and Duanmu Song. Zhu Tianshou conveyed Yang Fei's promises to them, and among these thirty-seven, only four chose to stay while the remaining thirty-three decided to trust Yang Fei and try for a new chance.
The plane will fly directly to Yunwu Mountain's Base, where Xu Jian will welcome them and lead them to meet Yang Fei.
As for Zhu Tianshou, he chose to stay at Experimental Zone No. 1.
Since the promulgation of the Law of Cultivator, more and more people from the Hidden Sect have obtained special identification cards.
These people have gradually left Experimental Zone No. 1, heading to various places across the Divine Continent, preparing to integrate into the secular world and start new lives.
However, many from the Hidden Sect are still observing or refusing to sign the citizen agreement that requires compliance with the Law of Cultivator.
These individuals either have backing from families and sects or are rebels who believe that they, as martial arts experts, shouldn't be constrained by laws established by secular people.
As more than half of the Hidden Sect's lower-middle members leave, the remaining rebellious members become brazen, clamoring to unite and establish a new order belonging to the Hidden Sect.
The purpose of Zhu Tianshou staying here is twofold: firstly, to gather information and observe the movements of various forces within the Hidden Sect; secondly, to covertly contact individuals recommended by Duanmu Wentong and Duanmu Song.
Most of these individuals were martial artists with talent but were subjected to unfair treatment within their respective families and sects, receiving fewer resources than their peers.
No matter how the world changes, talent remains the most important asset.
The arrival of a new era dictates that those with extraordinary martial arts talents become highly sought-after talents.
Yang Fei's aim is to compete with various forces of the Hidden Sect for talent, even seeking to recruit individuals directly from these factions who have not benefited from the ample resources of families and sects.
As for selecting talent from the secular martial world or ordinary people of the Divine Continent, that is Qin Yanyang's task.
Although this is a long-term plan, for Yang Fei, training talents takes too much time.
His current focus is on seizing time and opportunities.
Working against the clock, he aims to cultivate a batch of elite experts as quickly as possible.
With a loyal elite team, Yang Fei is confident in pioneering a great enterprise in the new era.
Yunwu Mountain's Base.
When Helian Zhan, Wang Chunyang, and Ouyang He brought Zhuge Cang, Yang Fei was in the process of treating Helian Rong with Qin Sizhong.
In actuality, Yang Fei was only giving directions, and it was Qin Sizhong who was administering the acupuncture for Helian Rong.
Qin Sizhong, already a top-tier expert from the Hidden Sect, possessed unfathomable power. During his days at Yunwu Mountain's Base, he sensed his strength growing subtly.
Yet, having been called this morning by Yang Fei to assist in treating Helian Rong with acupuncture, Qin Sizhong realized that his power wasn't quite enough.
The acupuncture treatment lasted over eight hours.
Helian Rong's illness was stubborn and unique. Qin Sizhong had pondered for over twenty years without finding a cure. Now, after brainstorming this method with Yang Fei repeatedly over the last few days, they felt that it was indeed the most perfect approach, with high feasibility, so they proceeded with the treatment today.
When Helian Zhan and the others entered, they saw Helian Rong covered in silver needles that appeared like fur attached to her body, causing an instinctive fear of dense clusters.
She was drenched in sweat.
The most alarming sight for Helian Zhan and the others was the faint blood where the silver needles had contact with her clothing.
Helian Rong appeared pale, fell into a coma, with bloodstains left on her eyes, ears, mouth, and nose. Help us out by reading on M|V|LEM5PYR.
If Qin Sizhong was not the one performing the acupuncture, Helian Zhan might have intervened already. But even so, he trembled and, filled with worry, looked at Qin Sizhong and asked, "Third Brother, what's going on? Is Rong'er okay?"
Qin Sizhong remained concentrated on the silver needles on Helian Rong.
To an outsider, these needles seemed densely packed and distributed chaotically, but to him, they were divided into thirteen groups.
Each group followed a perfectly closed acupuncture route of the Revitalizing Thirteen Needle Technique.
His task was to maintain the tremors of the thirteen sets of Revitalizing Thirteen Needle Techniques so that the thirteen Revitalizing Auras were continually sustained.
This would appear easy for a martial artist with abundant True Yuan, but to maintain it for over eight hours was genuinely difficult.
Qin Sizhong, despite his Divine Travel Realm cultivation, had already consumed three Small Rejuvenation Pills to replenish his True Yuan.
Even with this, he felt his True Yuan running low, fearing a lapse in focus might lead to the dissipation of one Revitalizing Aura group, which would result in all efforts today being in vain and pose a threat to Helian Rong's life.
Therefore, in response to Helian Zhan's question, Qin Sizhong didn't make a sound nor did he acknowledge it.
Ouyang He also worried for his young disciple's safety, but he fixed his gaze upon the silver needles on Helian Rong from the start. Noticing Qin Sizhong's maintenance of those needles, he discerned some insight, his eyes lighting up, and he quietly pulled Helian Zhan aside and whispered, "Don't worry, we've reached the critical juncture; they're reshaping Miss Rong's energy channels."
Wang Chunyang was calmer than Helian Zhan and observed more meticulously. He remarked to Ouyang He, "Brother Ouyang, it seems Miss Rong's energy channels were all severed and are now being repaired?"
Ouyang He nodded and said, "Indeed, Brother Wang, your keen observation is commendable."
Wang Chunyang took a deep breath and his gaze lingered on Yang Fei for a long time, marveling, "This young man truly is a genius of his time, coming up with such a method to treat life-threatening conditions. What's crucial is he possesses the means to reconnect energy channels!"
Ouyang He nodded in sincere admiration, "Yes, this method is incredibly risky; who would dare try easily? Yet this young man did. The Taoist medical skills are indeed extraordinary."
Helian Zhan gradually regained his composure.
Upon careful examination, he was shocked to discover Wang Chunyang's statements were true; his daughter's energy channels were forcibly severed.
It was terrifying.
The body's energy channels are naturally inborn; his daughter had only one life-threatening condition, which almost claimed her life before twenty. Despite the full efforts of two medical experts like Qin Sizhong and Ouyang He, they merely extended her life, unable to cure her.
Yet now, Yang Fei severed all of his daughter's energy channels and then used miraculous acupuncture to reconnect them.
Just thinking about this treatment method was horrifying.
Helian Zhan couldn't help but glare fiercely at Yang Fei.
No wonder this young man went to the lengths of keeping him and Ouyang He away.
If he had known this method was used to treat his daughter, he likely wouldn't have agreed.
Soon, an hour passed.
Suddenly, Helian Rong, who was in a state of fainting, let out a soft moan and opened her eyes.
