Chapter 871 - 876: Weakness Is Almost Ineffective Against Him (Part 2)
Chapter 871: Chapter 876: Weakness Is Almost Ineffective Against Him (Part 2)
After the silver needles were placed on each acupoint of Bai Bing’s body, two-thirds of the silver needles in Lin Xi’s wooden box were used up.
At this point, looking from behind, Bai Bing’s back was full of needles, which looked quite terrifying at first sight.
Counting them, there were at least more than forty needles.
Of course, Lin Xi was the most clear about this, as he was the one who inserted them.
Currently, there were a total of forty-eight needles on Bai Bing’s back.
The fourth needle of the Nine Divine Needles of Heaven-Reversing, "Hundred Days of Foundation Establishment", was also halfway through.
This halfway completion does not refer to the number of needles but represents the process of consuming True Qi and mental effort.
In fact, he only needed to insert one last needle to complete the entire process.
This one was to be placed on the top of her head, at the Baihui Acupoint.
So why was it said that the previous forty-eight needles only completed half of it?
That is because the last needle is the most crucial and consumes the most True Qi and mental effort.
It can be said that this final needle determines the success or failure of the Hundred Days of Foundation Establishment.
At this time, Lin Xi, whose face was somewhat pale, pulled out a silver needle that appeared twice as thick as the previous ones from the wooden box.
In terms of length, it was not much different from the previous ones.
He took a deep breath, feeling slightly anxious inside.
Although he knew his success rate was above 99%, there was still a less than 1% chance of failure.
However, the good thing was that even if he failed, Bai Bing wouldn’t suffer any harm.
That’s why his first time performing this on someone else was on Bai Bing’s body.
Otherwise, he would definitely have found someone he didn’t particularly care about to experiment with the Hundred Days of Foundation Establishment.
The Xuan Yuan Divine Dragon Art was operating rapidly within his body while he recalled every step and relevant point of the Hundred Days of Foundation Establishment in his mind again.
After going through his memory once and confirming there were no mistakes,
he reached out his hand. This needle, compared to the previous ones, seemed to be moving in slow motion as it was inserted into the top of Bai Bing’s head.
The moment the silver needle pierced in, a slight smile appeared on his face.
Success!
Although he expected success, the actual moment of success was still very joyful.
At this point, his face had become even paler.
After the last needle, half of his True Qi was directly consumed.
In other words, he had less than a third of his True Qi left, and his mental effort had also been heavily expended.
The entirety of his being was very exhausted!
"Turns out this needle is not perfect!" he muttered to himself, "But this flaw isn’t much of a flaw to him."
Because performing the Hundred Days of Foundation Establishment requires a large amount of True Qi.
Otherwise, the golden page wouldn’t state that at least Innate strength was needed.
Even someone as strong as Lin Xi, possessing Innate power, had more than two-thirds of his True Qi consumed.
One can imagine that if other Innates were to attempt this, they probably wouldn’t manage it.
And in ancient times or even now, Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was extremely scarce, much more so these days.
If an Innate Powerhouse obtains this needle technique and has enough True Qi to perform it, then yes, success is possible for one.
But for this Innate Powerhouse to regain full vigor, it would take a very long time.
This is because True Qi is energy transformed from Spiritual Qi for the self.
But to Lin Xi, this simply wasn’t an issue at all.
If Lin Xi was absent, he could just enter the Jade Pendant Space for a bit of absorption, and he’d return to full strength immediately.
Heh!
He was never short of Spiritual Qi!
So this weakness didn’t impose much of a limitation on him.
However, restoring mental effort wasn’t as quick; at least a night’s rest was needed before he could start again.
He lay beside Bai Bing, turning his head to see she was already asleep.
"This is really great!" Lin Xi couldn’t help but sigh.
If Bai Bing knew about the many needles on her back and the one at the most critical Baihui Acupoint, which was so thick.
And didn’t know when she had fallen asleep.
It’s like closing your eyes and opening them, and suddenly, your strength has grown significantly.
It’s quite exaggerated.
After a while, Lin Xi removed the needles one by one in order and placed them back into the wooden box.
Bai Bing let out a light hum, waking up gently.
"All done?" she hazily asked Lin Xi.
Lin Xi nodded and replied, "Yes, all done."
He also said, at this point, to calm her mind and not to always think about such matters, as there are still many beautiful and interesting stories in this world to discover.
Bai Bing immediately grabbed some clothes and went to the bathroom to change.
After a while, she looked at her hand with some disbelief, as if something she never expected to happen was developing in her.
Because just now, she had placed her hand on the glass, and it immediately shattered into beads.
This wasn’t because the glass was faulty; such a thing had never occurred in her home.
Which actually meant the strength in her hands was astonishingly powerful.
With the increase in strength, she hadn’t had a chance to grasp it at all, so controlling the sudden surge of power required cautiousness.
Otherwise, a lot of accidents might occur.
It seems tomorrow morning, some guidance on controlling strength and combat skills should be offered to Bai Bing.
As for fist skills, those will have to wait.
After all, everyone goes from needing support while learning to walk to walking on their own.
Once Bai Bing’s face showed a slight smile, she left Lin Xi’s room.
The next morning, when Lin Xi woke up, he found that over 90% of his mental energy had been restored.
As for True Qi, he had restored all of it shortly after entering the Jade Pendant Space the previous night.
As mentioned above, what is heaven-shattering difficult for others is not an issue for him at all.
After he finished making breakfast and Teacher Mei arrived, Bai Bing and Mengmeng came down.
They were about to have breakfast, but Bai Bing was stopped by Lin Xi, who asked her to come to the yard for some instruction on combat techniques and controlling her explosive strength.
Regarding these things, Bai Bing wasn’t too interested.
But now the increase in her strength had significantly impacted her life in certain areas.
For example, yesterday, she broke the glass by pressing it, and in her room, she accidentally tore off the door handle, and also ripped off her collar while trying to straighten it.
These are all signs of poor control!
So when Lin Xi taught her these things, she was very willing after hearing about it.
Even if she wasn’t very interested, at least she could protect herself and control her strength.
Otherwise, like Hulk, she might only rely on brute force.
After about ten minutes, Lin Xi used very simple and easy-to-understand techniques to help Bai Bing understand.
It seemed that in any regard, Bai Bing was a genius-type person because she grasped everything quite effortlessly.
