“No, one thousand Xuanling Crystal Hearts is only fair,” Zhou Qingyun said without hesitation.
Not to mention one thousand Xuanling Crystal Hearts, even if it were ten thousand, as long as it could keep Qingyun alive, it would be worth it.
“Young Master Zhou, allow me to be direct and provide you with a detailed explanation. If you manage to obtain the Blazing Flame Grass, the treatment will span approximately six months. In the beginning, she will require acupuncture every two weeks. After three months, this frequency will decrease to once a month. Then, after half a year, we will administer the Blazing Flame Grass, followed by another round of acupuncture. If you diligently follow my guidance and take care of her, in roughly a year, she should be able to lead a life resembling that of an ordinary person. However, please keep in mind that this is an estimate. Traces of the cold poison will still linger in her body, necessitating vigilance in her daily activities, especially in avoiding exposure to extreme cold.”
Zhou Qingyun’s eyes gleamed brighter, carefully absorbing every word Gu Qingluan. “Alright, well follow your requirements, Mr. Jun. Anything that requires our cooperation, well definitely comply.”
Gu Qingluan preferred dealing with family members who were less involved in such matters and disliked those who tended to micromanage or provided a laundry list of reasons.
“By the way, will the two of you be temporarily staying in the black market?”
Zhou Qingyun nodded. “Yes, this time we came to the black market hoping for a stroke of luck.”
“Alright, then let’s meet next time at the Immortal Ascension Tower.”
It would be more convenient that way.
Otherwise, with one in South Qing and the other in Chengyuan, thousands of miles apart, administering acupuncture would be very inconvenient.
After clarifying all the details, Gu Qingluan proceeded to prepare for Zhou Qingyun’s acupuncture treatment and asked him to wait outside.
After Zhou Qingyun had left, Gu Qingluan removed Zhou Qingyun’s clothing.
Although acupuncture could be administered without removing clothing, as she had done in the Shadow Tower for those people, it was much more critical in Qingyun’s case, given the severity of her condition.
Without the hindrance of clothing, the treatment would be more effective.
Before administering acupuncture, Gu Qingluan entered the Stellar Space and obtained the golden needle from Su Meng.
She had looked into Su Meng’s memories and knew that he had acquired a golden needle by chance. She estimated that it was also part of the Primordial Gold Needle.
Su Meng retrieved the golden needle from his pocket. “Master, what’s the current situation outside? Has their poison been cured?”
“The poison has been cured. Don’t worry. Right now, 1 have a patient to treat. I’ll tell you more once I’m done.”
Gu Qingluan exited the Stellar Space and glanced at the two golden needles of different sizes in her hand. A faint smile tugged at the corner of her lips.
Next, she pierced her fingertip with the golden needle Su Meng had given her. After absorbing a bit of her blood, the golden needle radiated brightly. Gu Qingluan infused her consciousness into it, and the golden needle flashed before merging with the other one suspended in mid-air, gradually becoming one.
The united golden needle was similar in size when they were apart, but upon closer inspection, one would notice that it emitted a resolute righteous aura. However, this single golden needle alone wouldn’t suffice.
She retrieved a set of commonly used golden needles from her storage ring.
These golden needles ranged from thick to thin, from large to small, neatly arranged in a row.
The Primordial Gold Needle stabilized the universe, while the regular golden needles were used to seal various acupoints to prevent the cold poison from spreading, allowing it to only follow the path she designed.
Gu Qingluan first inserted golden needles into acupoints such as Neiguan, Shengmen, and Tianquan to protect the heart meridian. With each needle entering an acupoint, a faint glow appeared. That was her arcane power.
Then, she swiftly inserted the Primordial Gold Needle into Zhou Qingyun’s crown, and it instantly disappeared into her hair.
A chill emanated from her head, covering the surrounding objects in a layer of frost.
Gu Qingluan controlled the Primordial Gold Needle with her consciousness while simultaneously holding the regular golden needles in her hands. As the Primordial Gold Needle moved, the regular golden needles punctured the relevant acupoints immediately.
Her needling technique was steady and rapid. If anyone were present at this moment, they would undoubtedly be left in awe..
