The Second Elder of the Myriad Manifestations Sect finally realized the gravity of the situation and instinctively tried to dodge!
A bizarre thing happened!
His body felt as if it were pinned down, unable to move even half a step!
At this moment, he could clearly feel the two elders releasing something into his body.
It felt like some kind of energy, but it was definitely not true qi!
And after that energy appeared, his true qi in the dantian became completely unmovable!
No...
Not only could his true qi not be moved!
His body was also paralyzed!
He was like a puppet, completely at their mercy...
At this moment.
He was utterly panicked...
This feeling of being at a loss had not appeared in a very, very long time...
"Don't you often feel a sore lower back recently?"
"At midnight, don't you convulse all over, as if you're burning?"
The two elders leaned their faces close, asking with utmost seriousness.
The Second Elder of the Myriad Manifestations Sect had a terrible experience being observed at such close range by these two exceptional faces.
Especially after his gaze met theirs, his entire body felt like it was plunging into an endless abyss of ice!
His body trembled uncontrollably from the cold!
Please, don't come so close to me.
I'm scared...
"Will this hurt?"
As the Second Elder spoke, he pinched the Second Elder of the Myriad Manifestations Sect's left kidney.
The Second Elder of the Myriad Manifestations Sect immediately rolled his eyes, almost fainting on the spot!
The moment the First Elder pinched him like that, the burning sensation within his body instantly appeared!
But now, he was already experiencing the endless chill brought by the two elders.
Torn between fire and ice, it was truly overwhelming...
"It seems he's indeed severely deficient in kidney essence."
"That's right." Master Xie Yan also gave a pinch: "It has already affected the fundamentals."
As a result, as soon as he pinched, the Second Elder of the Myriad Manifestations Sect started rolling his eyes again...
"We can't delay any longer!"
"Treatment must begin immediately!"
And so.
The two elders, one on each side, helped the Second Elder of the Myriad Manifestations Sect back to Ye Fan's room.
Ye Fan quietly witnessed the entire process.
He even cast a pitying glance at the Second Elder of the Myriad Manifestations Sect.
Why bother?
Isn't it good to be alive?
As for witnessing the two elders' peculiar treatment methods, Ye Fan felt it was unnecessary.
No reason other than.
Fear of going blind.
...
Inside the room.
The two elders placed the Second Elder of the Myriad Manifestations Sect on Ye Fan's bed.
The First Elder began to rummage through his ring.
Master Xie Yan put his hand into his trousers.
Everything was proceeding in an orderly fashion.
Lying on the bed, the Second Elder of the Myriad Manifestations Sect's heart pounded.
After the two elders let go, he found that his body had recovered.
Today, he had truly kicked a steel plate!
No!
Old man, I can't just wait to die, I must escape quickly!
Ye Fan's bed was conveniently located by the window, and the window was also open.
Seeing that the two elders had their backs to him, the Second Elder of the Myriad Manifestations Sect quietly stood up.
He easily gripped the windowsill and suddenly exerted force!
Whoosh—!
He shot out like an arrow loosed from a bow!
Watching the scenery recede on both sides, the Second Elder of the Myriad Manifestations Sect felt a surge of excitement!
This was the breath of freedom!
Huh?
Why does it feel like my speed is slowing down?
No!
It's not slowing down, it's stopped!
Damn it!
Who's grabbing my ankles!
"Be good." The First Elder yanked him back: "As a patient, you should be good and not run around."
"Get your illness treated quickly, and then you can go wherever you want."
Master Xie Yan nodded seriously and once again put his right hand into his trousers.
The Second Elder of the Myriad Manifestations Sect was also stubborn.
Taking advantage of the brief moment when the two were rummaging for things, he launched another escape plan!
However, the moment his hand gripped the windowsill this time, he was pulled back by the two elders who were already prepared!
"Master, he seems quite nervous."
"That's easy!" Master Xie Yan pinned the Second Elder of the Myriad Manifestations Sect onto the bed: "I'll give him a full body massage first. Once he relaxes, he shouldn't be so tense."
Although he didn't know what a full body massage entailed, his intuition told the Second Elder of the Myriad Manifestations Sect that it would certainly not be a pleasant experience!
But his body was pinned down by Master Xie Yan, and he was unable to resist.
He could only look at the master with pleading eyes, conveying his desperate hope.
No, I don't need this!
Get lost!
"Don't worry, I'm a professional." Master Xie Yan gently placed his hand on his chest: "Trust me, you'll feel very comfortable."
Then.
"Crackling!"
"Crackling!"
"Crackling!"
The sound of bones shattering filled the room.
...
Half an hour later.
The Second Elder of the Myriad Manifestations Sect lay on the bed, his clothes disheveled.
The mysterious confinement on his body had disappeared.
But he no longer attempted to escape.
Not because he didn't want to.
But because he couldn't...
All his bones were shattered, and he couldn't even feel pain anymore...
His dantian was empty.
The true qi within had dissipated at some point in time.
His face was filled with helplessness.
His eyes were full of despair.
He understood.
He was completely ruined...
He had no more connection to the word 'cultivator' in this lifetime...
If one had to say anything.
It would be 'Once, I was a cultivator'...
However, he did not know that this was only the beginning...
"Don't worry."
The First Elder pried open his mouth and shoved a dark, strangely scented pill into it.
"Everything is normal for now, and you'll soon be completely free from the torment of your injuries."
Master Xie Yan put his hand into his pocket and started rummaging.
When he took it out again, he was holding a handful of silver needles.
Well...
They could only be described as looking like silver needles.
Because each one was a somewhat dark yellow in color.
And they constantly emitted an indescribably pungent and refreshing aroma.
The moment these silver needles appeared, the Second Elder of the Myriad Manifestations Sect almost went into shock!
"We've already stabilized your injuries with the pill, and now it's time for the formal treatment."
Master Xie Yan looked at the Second Elder of the Myriad Manifestations Sect and asked with utmost sincerity.
"But before that, can you tell me in detail how you got injured?"
"That's right," the First Elder added. "This way, Master can perform targeted acupuncture treatment, achieving twice the result with half the effort!"
The Second Elder of the Myriad Manifestations Sect did not want to speak.
He even closed his eyes.
His attitude was extremely uncooperative.
This greatly troubled the two elders.
"Don't be nervous, don't be scared." Master Xie Yan leaned his face close: "Relax, relax."
A strange thing happened.
The Master's words seemed to possess some kind of magic.
The Second Elder of the Myriad Manifestations Sect actually relaxed!
"It was about a thousand years ago..."
He slowly began to speak, recounting the experience of his past injury.
The process was simple.
Back then, while fighting a beast tide, he was accidentally injured in the lower back by a powerful demonic beast.
The external wound was not severe.
However, the toxin that the demonic beast carried had eroded his kidneys.
It was from that day forward that his kidneys began to weaken.
To the point where his wife later wanted to have another child with him, but they were never successful.
This was also why he was so enraged after his son and disciple was killed by Ye Fan.
There was no choice; he was without an heir...
If he could have had another child, he wouldn't have fallen into such despair.
After listening to his account, Master Xie Yan nodded: "Fortunately, it's not a major problem."
The Second Elder of the Myriad Manifestations Sect's condition was clearly changing.
Because he was now asking very earnestly.
"Then, can my kidneys recover?"
"Since Master says there's no problem, then there's definitely no problem!" the First Elder stated confidently.
"Then I..." the Second Elder of the Myriad Manifestations Sect asked nervously and expectantly, "Will I still be able to have children in the future?"
"Child's play!" Master Xie Yan rubbed his bald head: "As long as you want, ten or eight isn't a problem!"
Tears streamed down the Second Elder of the Myriad Manifestations Sect's face.
The death of his previous son was an unchangeable fact.
And with such two monstrous experts by Ye Fan's side, revenge was likely out of the question.
As long as he could still have children in the future, he could endure this and move on.
At least this outcome was not entirely despairing...
"Come on, seniors!" The Second Elder of the Myriad Manifestations Sect spread his limbs, adopting a posture of surrender: "Let's begin!"
"Don't worry!"
The first silver needle fell.
"I'm a professional!"
