Yitianxia, ​​Mother of Rebirth

Jiao Ran arranged the long needles, touched his hands lightly, and there was a silver-red long needle sandwiched between each finger. With the dancing of his fingers, those needles were accurately pierced into the acupuncture points, but only a dozen times, Zhuang Yanqiu's body was densely pricked with needles. The needles were pricked in different depths. Some were still, some kept trembling slightly, and some trembled regularly.

As the name implies, "hedgehog knot needle" means that the needles are as dense as a hedgehog, and the knot is the breakpoint, which means that each needle can set its own breakpoint, whether it is deep or shallow, or moving or static. It can dredge the celestial energy accumulated in Zhuang Yanqiu's eight meridians, and guide them into the dantian. It is a set of acupuncture methods that can be cured and nourished at the same time, and only Jiao Ran can use it in the whole world.

When Jiao Ran was famous all over the world for his "hedgehog knot needle", countless practitioners rushed to "Baiya Mountain" to ask him to give him needles, but only one person could get what he wanted every year.

'Hedgehog and Needle' is too exhausting, and the people of 'Baiya Mountain' set a rule of one person per year in order to protect the body of the mountain owner. The purpose of opening the arena is to win the spot from others.

Jiao Ran has already performed the 'hedgehog needle' once this year.Applying the needle again this time is destined to damage his mind.

Duan Juan knew this clearly, so when Jiao Ran made his needle, he fully released his spiritual consciousness, and he was alert to every plant and tree around him, and he even paid special attention to the unusual movement brought by the wind.

Fortunately, Zhuang Yanqiu's cultivation base is superficial, and after needling only three times, the blocked immortal energy in his body has been directed into the dantian, and at the same time, the heat on his body has dropped extremely quickly.

When Jiao Ran retracted the needle, his throat was itchy unbearably, so when the needle was scattered on the floor, he lay on the bedside in a little embarrassment, covered his mouth, and coughed violently.

Duan Juan carried Jiao Ran to the couch beside him, took out the usual medicine from his bosom, poured it into his mouth, and patted his chest again.

After Jiao Ran swallowed the medicine, his cough was relieved, he regained some strength and pushed Duan Juan's hand away, "Brother Duan, Brother Duan...your sternum is about to be broken!"

Duan Juan withdrew his hand with a cold face, he was disgusted for helping out with his kindness, blind!

Jiao Ran rubbed her aching breastbone and calmed down.It's better for Brother Zhuang to be softer, Brother Duan, you are really a reckless person!

"Drink hot water?" Duan Jun asked.

Jiao Ran was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Brother Duan, please."

Duan Jun let out an 'hmm' and got up to get some hot water.

Jiao Ran clutched her chest with a look of relief.He knew that Duan Juan had completely forgiven him for treating him like this.Thinking about it, the sticking point between the two of them was not a problem at all.

When Zhuang Yanqiu woke up, the wound on his mouth had returned to normal after applying Jiao Ran's special ointment.If it wasn't for lack of energy, it wouldn't be obvious that he had accidentally passed through a small catastrophe.

Duan Juan and Jiao Ran were busy making soup for him and medicine for him, busy in the corridor outside the bedroom.

Zhuang Yanqiu walked to the window with light steps, smelled the aroma of medicine and food, swallowed her saliva, and rubbed her withered stomach.

Hearing the movement, Duan Juan and Jiao Ran turned their heads at the same time.

"You're awake, is there anything uncomfortable?" It was Jiao Ran who was a doctor who asked.

Zhuang Yanqiu felt it seriously for a moment, then shook her head.His memory was a little fuzzy, he only vaguely remembered that when his fever persisted, these two people were by his side to take care of him, and their smell was always lingering in his nostrils.

"Yesterday, you accidentally made a breakthrough in your cultivation. We helped you channel your meridian and immortal energy. You can try to see if you can advance successfully." Jiao Ran said gently.

Zhuang Yanqiu lowered his head and looked at himself in surprise, why didn't he feel anything at all.It's just that he still tried to stimulate the immortal energy in his body, and released a basic "spiritual explosion" towards a place where there was no one, only to see three cyclones around the "spiritual explosion" mixed into a ball, showing the appearance of "infant embryo" sign.

Zhuang Yanqiu couldn't believe it for a moment, and blinked several times.Because he couldn't be sure, he looked at Duan Jun with the eyes of seeking confirmation.

Duan Juan confirmed: "In the early stage of embryonic... finally, you can be regarded as a formal cultivator."

Zhuang Yanqiu pretended not to understand Duan Jun's disgusting tone, and was very happy.Looking left and right at his palm, he smiled so much that his brows and eyes curled up at the same time.That's great, relying on himself, he actually reached the 'embryonic stage', and the speed of this practice is not slow at all. If he works hard, he might be able to cultivate to the 'Golden Core Stage' within a year.

What he was thinking in his heart was expressed on his face, and Duan Juan and Jiao Ran naturally understood it.

"Will he be disappointed if he knows that his cultivation has improved so fast because of the fleshy fetus in his body?" Jiao Ran whispered to Duan Juan habitually.

Duan Juan glanced at him warningly: "I can't see that your tongue is quite long."

"Sooner or later, I will know." Jiao Ran shrugged, "I just can't get it from us, I understand that."

Zhuang Yanqiu covered her cheeks, smiled and narrowed her eyes, still in the midst of self-excitement.

Starting from the foundation building period, the two stages of foundation building and consecration can hinder the path of more than half of the world's people's cultivation.Although the cultivation of the consecration period is also cultivation, it is only the impression in the eyes of ordinary people. In the eyes of real practitioners, the "embryo stage" is the boundary line that defines cultivation, and only those who have reached the "embryo stage" will be recognized. Tongdao is recognized as a veritable practitioner.

The 'embryonic period' is the first threshold on the road of practice, and when one breaks through this stage, one will go through various trials and tribulations.Fortunately for Zhuang Yanqiu, she just fell asleep, burned for a while, and broke through on her own when she woke up, almost without being hurt.

"Thank you, Senior and Little Brother Jiao, for taking care of me." Zhuang Yanqiu jumped out of the threshold happily, folded her hands together, and bowed gratefully to Duan Jun and Jiao Ran.

"Start practicing the 'Hidden Sword Jue' today." Duan Juan said sternly, "You are too weak."

If it is the most capable of hitting people, Duan Jun is ranked second and no one dares to rank first.

Zhuang Yanqiu lowered her head and let out a weak 'oh', her smiling face turned into a sad one.

Jiao Ran turned Duanjun a little: I really can't speak.

He comforted Zhuang Yanqiu with a smile: "Brother Zhuang is already very good, and it is beyond human's reach to be able to cultivate to the 'embryo' at this age."

"Brother Jiao~~ Do you really think so?" Zhuang Yanqiu immediately pulled Jiao Ran's arm to find a sense of approval.

Jiao Ran purposely glanced at Zhuang Yanqiu's hand, and smiled more sincerely: "Of course. Brother Zhuang, you are capable. If you follow Brother Duan and practice the 'Hidden Sword Art' well, I guarantee you will have a greater breakthrough."

"Jiao... Let me call you Brother Jiao. Brother Jiao is too out of touch, so it's not easy to call him." Zhuang Yanqiu was coaxed by Jiao Ran to smile, and he got closer to Jiao Ran all of a sudden.

Jiao Ran raised his eyebrows slightly, and an uncontrollable smile formed on his lips.Brother Jiao...how did he recognize the sweet smell?

"Jiao, younger brother??" Duan Jun sneered at the side, and turned on the 'whispering' mode again: If someone calls out, you dare to agree?

Why dare not agree, although my mental age is older than him, my physical age is indeed younger than him!Jiao Ran took it for granted.

Duan Jun was provoked by Jiao Ran's 'brazenness'.After a loud 'hum', he shook his sleeves and wanted to leave.

Zhuang Yanqiu shivered suddenly.The senior is arguing again, what's wrong this time?Why! !The heart of the predecessors, the needle of the deep sea!

Duan Juan wanted to leave but didn't leave, pointed to the stewed fish soup on the stove, and said "Hi" to Zhuang Yanqiu, "Remember to drink it up!" After explaining this sentence, he shook his sleeves again and left.

"Brother Duan is a relatively introverted person, not very good at expressing himself. Brother Zhuang, don't take it to heart, Brother Duan specially went down to Hantan to catch this fish for you this morning. Of course, I also contributed a piece of Xuezhi, The soup made by the two together is so delicious that even the immortals can't bear it. I'll bring it in for you, so drink it while it's hot."

Looking at the milky white fish soup, Zhuang Yanqiu was very grateful.Both Senior and Brother Jiao are good people, and he will remember this kindness and friendship.

In the next few days, the three people living together in this other courtyard got along more and more harmoniously.

Under Duan Jun's guidance, Zhuang Yanqiu spent the afternoon practicing the 'Hidden Sword Art'.At night... Needless to say, the 'overdose' is still going on.

Jiao Ran basically wouldn't be at home at night. During the day, besides making some tonics for Zhuang Yanqiu, the two of them gossiped when he was free.

Jiao Ran has a wealth of experience, Zhuang Yanqiu couldn't stop listening to the stories he told.It's rare to meet a person of the same age, who is also highly capable and good at talking. In a few days, the two can sleep together, like twin brothers.

Faced with this situation, Duan Juan didn't say much except for a haughty 'hum' once he saw it.But under Zhuang Yanqiu's sincere treatment, Jiao Ran felt unease in his heart.

He approached Zhuang Yanqiu with the purpose of plotting against Zhuang Yanqiu's stomach.At first, he didn't intend to get so close to Zhuang Yanqiu at all, but things in this world can never be as he wants, the better Zhuang Yanqiu treats him, the more he feels uneasy about his conscience.If he waits until he implements the plan, what attitude should he use to face this person who treats him as a close friend and a younger brother?

Jiao Ran felt that he had pushed himself into a difficult situation.Originally, in his plan, Zhuang Yanqiu was a tool for pregnancy. In addition, he had a bad impression of this person before, so he didn't feel much uneasy when he was planning his stomach.

Who knows that after actually getting in touch with Zhuang Yanqiu, he will know the true nature of this person.At this time, facing Zhuang Yanqiu with the mentality he had at the beginning, Jiao Ran felt that he was nothing.He originally wanted to be honest with Zhuang Yanqiu, seek Zhuang Yanqiu's forgiveness, and ask him for a chance to revitalize the fetus, but as soon as this idea came up, he was rejected by Jiao Ran himself.

Zhuang Yanqiu is not Duanjun.Duan Jun understands Jiao Ran and has a life-long friendship with Jiao Ran, and the friendship between the two has been baptized over a long period of time and is firm and tenacious.

And the friendship between Zhuang Yanqiu and Jiao Ran...is just the beginning.At the beginning, this friendship was managed by Jiao Ran in order to get close to Zhuang Yanqiu. It was so weak and without foundation, it couldn't withstand the heavy blow of 'deception and betrayal'.

Jiao Ran could imagine how the frightened Zhuang Yanqiu would behave once he "confessed".Just like what he said to Meng Ji that 'the future will be indefinite', the treatment he and Duan Juan will receive will only be worse than 'the future will be indefinite'.

Jiao Ran, who has been scheming all her life and often calculated other people's life and death in her hands, this time, she has schemed herself to the point where there is no way out.
