Chapter 948: Chapter 948

Maintaining the consistency of the fine needles while manipulating them to fall was truly no easy task. After all, there were not only numerous acupoints in the human body, but some were also quite densely packed. More importantly, the force required for each acupoint varied. To achieve all of this simultaneously, it would take at least three to five years of practice.

However, Siheng still asked, "Celestial Sovereign, who learned the second move the fastest?" Qionghua Celestial Sovereign raised her hand, and a list of names, glowing brightly, appeared. There were five people on the list.

Fifth place: Teng Yu, ten years and one day.

Fourth place: Wang Jie, eight years.

Third place: Zihan, five years and three months.

Second place: Yining, two years and eight days.

First place: Too Weak To Sleep, one day.

Siheng was initially taken aback, and then his facial muscles twitched slightly as he said, "How could someone be named Too Weak To Sleep?" Moreover, to master this set of divine techniques in just one day, how could this person still claim to be so weak that they couldn’t sleep?

Qionghua Celestial Sovereign explained, "The name is reported by the individual themselves; they can choose whatever they like."

Siheng understood that this person probably didn’t want to reveal their identity and thus casually made up a name. But this name was just too casual. After all, it occupied the top spot.

However, this was not something he needed to worry about. He quickly began to practice, as Cinian was waiting for him to save her life. Here, he couldn’t sense the passage of time. He could only focus intently each time, striving to learn the second move as quickly as possible. Fortunately, he made progress with each attempt. After summarizing the shortcomings from before, he finally managed to accurately and effectively manipulate the spiritual energy needles after thirty-two tries. A flicker of joy crossed his face.

After such intense concentration, he felt a bit fatigued, and his spiritual energy was somewhat depleted. Qionghua Celestial Sovereign clapped her hands, "Congratulations, young man, you have learned the second move!"

Siheng said, "Please, Celestial Sovereign, demonstrate the third move."

Qionghua Celestial Sovereign replied, "Then stand still."

Siheng frowned slightly, not quite understanding the meaning of her words. When learning medical skills, did one have to be struck? In theory, the first and second moves were basic techniques; the third move should be the main event.

However, immediately after, wisps of smoke began to curl in the space. Upon closer inspection, these were methods for treating various illnesses and conditions! Guided by the illusory figure of Qionghua Celestial Sovereign, the smoke swiftly passed through Siheng’s body. This was memory! Like a brand, it was imprinted on his mind. The impact was significant. He almost lost his balance. But at this moment, he felt as if he had become a divine physician! It was truly fascinating. As long as he mastered the basics, he could obtain various treatment plans without having to think much.

The last few wisps of memory were somewhat different. The hands were clearly from a different person. After he had fully absorbed the memories, he asked, "Why were the hands of the person at the end different?"

Qionghua Celestial Sovereign explained, "These were left by the top-ranked Too Weak To Sleep. I have verified them, and they are first-class treatment methods."

"Could one actually leave their own insights in your scripture space?" Siheng was surprised.

"Of course, as long as they pass the verification, they can leave them," Qionghua Celestial Sovereign said.

Siheng raised his eyebrows. What was even more interesting was that Qionghua Celestial Sovereign already had so many medical treatment plans, but Too Weak To Sleep could still come up with different needling schemes. She was truly a remarkable individual.

Wait, perhaps Too Weak To Sleep wasn’t here to learn; she was here to fill in the gaps. This anonymous Celestial Sovereign was indeed intriguing. Thinking of this, Siheng couldn’t help but smile.

"I have learned this Qiankun Life Extending Needle. Thank you, Celestial Sovereign, for your guidance," he said with a respectful bow.

Qionghua Celestial Sovereign said, "Young man, you have learned my Qiankun Life Extending Needle in two days and ranked second. Leave your name behind!"

Siheng’s eyes twinkled, "My name... a bit weaker than the first place, um! That’s it!"

"Very well, a bit weaker than the first place," Qionghua Celestial Sovereign waved her hand, and the name was added to the list, pushing Yining and others down. The original fifth place became sixth.

Siheng frowned, "Isn’t the list supposed to only have five names?"

"No," Qionghua Celestial Sovereign said, "The list can hold ten names, but so far, only you six have learned it."

Siheng was somewhat astonished, "Is it too difficult, or is it just that not many people come to learn?"

This Qionghua Celestial Sovereign, lacking her own consciousness, couldn’t answer Siheng’s question. She asked, "A bit weaker than the first place, do you wish to continue practicing here, or are you leaving?"

Siheng remembered Cinian’s injuries, "I must leave."

Qionghua Celestial Sovereign, following his wish, sent him out of the space. His spiritual consciousness and soul returned to his body. He opened his eyes, knowing that he had spent two days in the space, and seeing the darkness outside, he was not surprised.

A’Li was no longer at the bottom of the cliff’s library. Only Yun Jianchu remained, sitting on a cushion, her hand on a small table, propping up her head and dozing off. Siheng could sense that her Demon Soul had weakened a bit over these two days, with a faint tendency to disintegrate. There was no third person’s presence here.

As he approached, the Asura totem appeared. He raised his hand and channeled demonic energy into Yun Jianchu’s body, strengthening her Demon Soul a bit. Yun Jianchu straightened up and instantly became more spirited. Siheng lowered his hand, his divine mark already switched back.

"Are you alright?" he asked.

Yun Jianchu, however, showed no joy. She quickly looked around to make sure no one was outside before she let out a sigh of relief. She whispered, "You told me to be careful, yet you act so recklessly! If someone sees you, you’ll be in a lot of trouble!"

Siheng felt that his aunt’s heart was still quite warm. He usually had a cold expression when dealing with others. But now, facing Yun Jianchu, his face softened as he said, "I’ve checked, and it’s fine."

Yun Jianchu grumbled, "Still, you have to be more cautious."

"Your Demon Soul isn’t gathering well; it seems to be weakening and on the verge of disintegration," Siheng said.

Yun Jianchu merely sighed, not showing much concern. She said, "I was originally reduced to a mere wisp of soul by the forging furnace. Later, I was nurtured in the secret realm of the Vajra Umbrella, gradually regaining some consciousness. But a wisp of soul is still a wisp of soul. Without the nourishment from Nanli’s body, this phenomenon is quite normal."

Siheng frowned slightly, "This is troublesome. My demonic energy is only a temporary solution for you."

Yun Jianchu didn’t mind. She quickly stood up and said, "Why worry about me? Saving Cinian is the urgent matter."

She had stayed here to pass on a message to Siheng. Nanli and Qing Feng had both gone to Cinian’s room to make a final effort. It was uncertain whether the little bald monk could hold on.

Siheng nodded and teleported to the room’s entrance with her. Just at that moment, a miserable cry from Shandu came from inside: "Master!!!" Siheng’s face froze. Had he arrived too late?
