A weapon capable of causing him pain?
Could it be crafted from top-grade gold or a century-old beast bone?
It appears he has underestimated the fierceness of this Little Wildcat.
A mischievous smile bloomed on the lips of the young man, who was not one to smile often. On the rare occasion he did, it was as if a spring breeze lightly ruffled the surface of a lake, a dazzling charm that made one's eyes flicker in astonishment.
The young man was unaware that in Yun Sheng's hand was merely a very ordinary Five-year-old Beast Bone Needle. It was only because of her exceptionally accurate acupoint targeting that she managed to strike effectively with a single attempt.
At that moment, the Bone Needle in Yun Sheng's hand seemed to feel a powerful suction.
Pressing against the young man's throat, the Bone Needle strangely sank into his throat and couldn't be pulled out, no matter how she tried.
Yun Sheng was greatly alarmed; she understood that even though the young man before her was blind, his skill in identifying positions by sound had reached an exquisite level. Quicker in response than ordinary people, his cultivation was far beyond that of martial artists like Lei Hu. With her current weak constitution, she was no match for him.
A sly smile appeared on Yun Sheng's lips. Her skills were not limited to ordinary acupuncture and acupressure.
An inexplicable chill struck a certain acupoint on the young man's body as if struck by thunder, followed by an overwhelming wave of drowsiness. In the next second, he lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground.
Yun Sheng kicked the fainted young man, made a face, and said, "Consider yourself lucky. If this body wasn't so young and had only unlocked the first meridian, this one Dark Needle would have been enough to cripple you."
In her past life, Yun Sheng was known as Yan Yizhen, for her ability to bring the dead back to life with a single Golden Needle.
Very few people knew, including Liu Minglang, about Yun Sheng's real family heritage.
Not just any director of a municipal health bureau, even some old leaders of the country who could not be named were once honored guests of the Yan Family.
That's because the Yan Family and their needling techniques are part of Huaxia's oldest and most mysterious line of Divine Doctors, the needling technique of the Medical Soul Divine Needle from the Shennong Yan Clan.
Yun Sheng's grandfather was the 398th descendant of Shennong in Huaxia. The Yan Family had several generations that passed away young, and Yun Sheng's parents died in a traffic accident early on.
Yun Sheng was raised by her grandfather alone and graduated from Medical University the year he passed away.
The Jade Bracelet Yun Sheng wore was a family heirloom, worn on her wrist since childhood. It was said to be made from the ancient Divine Jade, Xuanyuan Nine Dragon Jade, capable of prolonging life.
Wearing it, Yun Sheng had been able to recover from severe injuries in a short time throughout her life. If not for the fatal car crash in her previous life, she would not have died so young.
Besides the Shennong Medical Bracelet, the Yan Family also possessed four ancestral Cultivation Techniques: Marrow Jade Technique, Shennong's Eyes, Yanling Hand, and Medical Soul Divine Needle.
These four Cultivation Techniques, respectively, cultivate Inner Strength, eyesight, hand techniques, and needling techniques. In her past life, it was with these techniques that Yan Yunsheng was a leading student by day at the Medical University and by night, a fearsome Yan Yizhen, dreaded by both the underworld and ordinary society.
Past life events are like fleeting dust; in this life, due to severe injuries sustained as an infant, Yun Sheng had been relying on the Shennong Medical Bracelet to restore her body's channels and organs, while at the same time practicing the Four Skills to gradually recover about ten percent of her past life's power.
Today's breakthrough of the Yangwei Meridian marked the cleansing of the old injuries in her body. It also coincidentally allowed her to form the first Yin Needle of the Medical Soul Divine Needle using her Inner Strength.
The Medical Soul Divine Needle is divided into the Yin Needle and Yang Needle; the Yang Needle is tangible and operated by hand, while the Yin Needle is intangible, powered by Inner Strength.
Regrettably, with Yun Sheng's current level of Inner Strength, she could only use the Yin Needle once a day.
Today, she broke through the Yangwei Meridian, boosting her Inner Strength and creating the first Inner Strength Dark Needle in her body. Just now, she used her Inner Strength to strike the young man's sleep acupoint, enabling her to strike effectively.
Yun Sheng is not a bloodthirsty person, the youth never did anything excessive to her, and besides, he's blind. Yun Sheng figured even if he woke up, he probably wouldn't recognize her, so she decided to spare his life.
The sky was already growing dark, her father would soon be home, so Yun Sheng didn't stay any longer and headed straight for her house.
Yun Sheng thought that by using her Dark Needle to hit the youth's unconsciousness point, he would sleep for at least six to seven hours, but to her surprise, he woke up after just one hour.
It wasn't that Yun Sheng's Medical Soul Divine Needle had lost its efficacy, but because in this life, she was still young, her Marrow Jade Technique's power was inadequate, and the youth was proficient in Martial Arts. Her Yin Needle strike on his acupoint only exerted 30% of its intended effect.
After the youth woke up, he touched the slightly aching unconsciousness point and said, "The only person to give me a run for my money twice in one day is you. Little Wildcat, if I encounter you again, I will surely pull out all your claws and teeth."
The youth, feeling disgruntled, descended the hillside and walked towards the Magic Temple in the village.
After hastily descending the hill slope, Yun Sheng ran towards the northeast corner of Banana Leaf Village.
A few thatched cottages facing the sun, three to four acres of Medicine Fields, and a row of uneven low hedges—this was all Yun Sheng had for a home in this life.
Seeing that her father was not yet home, Yun Sheng began to wash rice and prepare vegetables, and soon the scent of food wafted out from the thatched cottage.
Yun Sheng took out the eleven copper coins, placing ten of them in the large porcelain bowl on the table, which had a crack in it.
The Blood Stopping Flowers sold for one more copper coin than she expected. She pocketed the extra copper coin and located a large wooden chest under the bed. Opening the chest, she put the copper coin into a small cloth pouch.
Within the pouch, there were already thirteen copper coins stacked up—this was Yun Sheng's secret savings cache, unknown even to her alcoholic father.
"Just need fifteen copper coins to ask the village chief to buy a Hemostatic Agent. A hundred Blood Stopping Flowers sell for ten copper coins, but two flowers can make one agent. Even the worst quality Hemostatic Agent sells for fifteen copper coins. If I can figure out the formula, it would greatly improve our livelihood," Yun Sheng counted the copper coins in the pouch, a look of happiness crossing her face.
As she returned the pouch to the chest, she noticed at the very bottom, there lay a worn Bone Ring.
The ring was crude and appeared to be very old, and by its size, it didn't seem like it belonged to her father.
Yun Sheng took out the ring and casually placed it on the table.
Her father had not yet returned, and the meal was almost ready. Today, because she participated in Magic Enlightenment, the Medicine Field hadn't been tended to, so Yun Sheng took a bucket and stepped outside.
She was slim and small, with the bucket nearly as tall as her.
Usually, when she carried water, she would sway back and forth, but today, having unblocked her first of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, she carried the bucket with much steadier steps.
A poor family's child takes on responsibilities early. In her mind, Yun Sheng was already an adult in her twenties. These domestic chores, for her, were nothing out of the ordinary.
In her previous life, when she was still an infant, her parents passed away. In this life, she did not wish to experience the anguish of wanting to support her parents only to find they were no longer around.
No matter how the villagers perceived her drunkard father, Yun Sheng would always remember, that conflagration that engulfed the skies six years ago.
Despite not being very familiar with this world's Magic System, Yun Sheng vaguely knew that her father was not a fraud as a mage; he was an even more powerful Mage than the village chief.
Outside the low hedge, a tall man appeared at some point in time.
The man saw Yun Sheng, who was as tiny as a quail, and without making a sound, he just stood by quietly watching.
"Jiujie, our child is already six years old. She should have been the Heavenly Pride Girl, but because of me…" The man's thoughts came to an abrupt halt. On the other side of the hedge, some movement from Yun Sheng caught his attention.
