San Qianmian's mind went blank, losing all ability to think.
He stood frozen like a statue, his eyes trembling slightly, unable to utter a single word.
Wu Tian knew the shock he was experiencing and said with a smile, "You don't have to answer me. If you can, you can. If you can't, you can't."
"This is already my biggest offer, and everything depends on you now."
San Qianmian finally recovered his senses and said shakily, "Wait, wait a moment. How do you know about me? Who are you, and why do you say you can help me?"
Wu Tian smiled and replied, "Because I am also a spiritual cultivator, it's easy for me to see through things about you. You don't need to be so surprised about that."
"You're a spiritual cultivator too?!" San Qianmian was shocked.
"You're so young, that's impossible."
He examined Wu Tian carefully and then asked, "How can you prove it?"
Wu Tian maintained his smile, but in an instant, a powerful pressure swept towards San Qianmian.
San Qianmian was quite perceptive and immediately used his spiritual energy to block it.
However, he was only a third-level spiritual cultivator, while Wu Tian was a master at the Immortal realm. Even a sliver of his aura was beyond San Qianmian's ability to resist.
In that moment, San Qianmian felt as if he were being crushed by a mountain. His entire body trembled, and he fell straight down!
At this moment, Wu Tian withdrew his pressure and reached out to help him up, smiling and saying, "Do you believe me now?"
San Qianmian said with a look of horror, "What realm of spiritual cultivator are you? You... you..."
He couldn't even speak clearly.
To Wu Tian, it was just a trace of pressure, but to San Qianmian, it was like seeing a boundless ocean!
Wu Tian smiled and said, "My level is not important. What's important is whether you believe my identity."
With things having reached this point, how could San Qianmian not believe him?
He continued in astonishment, "But this doesn't make sense. If you are such a powerful expert, why are you being so polite to me?"
"With your abilities, if you wanted me to help you, you could have just threatened me, couldn't you?"
Hearing San Qianmian's words, Wu Tian shook his head and smiled, saying, "No, no, no, you've misjudged me. I'm not an unreasonable person."
"Besides, what I need to do is very important, so important that not a single mistake can be made."
"If I threatened you into doing it, and you ended up playing a trick on me, that would be quite troublesome for me."
"I'm not one for anything else, but I believe in fairness. Therefore, I am willing to help you with all sincerity."
"At the same time, I hope you can also help me with all sincerity."
"What do you think about that?"
San Qianmian was speechless again.
Before, when he looked at Wu Tian, he thought the young man was stubborn and clingy, like gum that couldn't be shaken off once stuck.
But now, his view had changed completely. He hadn't expected someone so young to possess such formidable abilities.
If that were the case, perhaps his spiritual palace... could indeed be saved!
Thinking of this, he became excited and tentatively asked, "Can you really help me?"
"My situation is not ordinary. To be honest, I've sought help from spiritual masters before, but it couldn't be done with just spiritual energy."
Wu Tian smiled and said, "You're right. Your spiritual palace is blocked by a large amount of stagnant qi. Even a ninth-level spiritual cultivator wouldn't be able to improve your condition."
"But I'm different. I have no intention of using spiritual energy. For a situation like this, I have other methods to help you, and I guarantee they are foolproof."
"Other methods?" Wu Tian's words made San Qianmian even more confused. "What methods are you talking about?"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "It's very simple. I am a doctor. Your situation can be resolved with acupuncture."
"Acupuncture?!" San Qianmian was stunned on the spot.
He quickly pressed, "No, how can acupuncture work? You know my spiritual palace is blocked, but it's not a disease!"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "Oh, you don't need to rush to doubt me. I told you I have something to ask of you, so how could I do something I'm not confident about?"
"As long as you agree now, I dare to do it."
"Of course, if you really don't believe me, then there's nothing I can do. We'll just have to proceed as things are."
San Qianmian hesitated, appearing to be half-believing Wu Tian's words.
Wu Tian didn't rush, quietly waiting for his response.
A few minutes later, San Qianmian finally made his decision.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Since things have come to this, there's no use thinking too much!"
"As long as you can help me recover my spiritual palace, let alone help you with disguise, I'm willing to be your servant for years to come!"
As he said this, San Qianmian had truly mustered his courage.
It was evident that he yearned for the advancement of his spiritual energy.
Wu Tian smiled and shook his head, saying, "No, no, no, you're exaggerating. I have no intention of making you my servant."
"As I said, this is just a transaction. Since it's a transaction, equal conditions are the most important."
He continued, "Alright, since you have no problem, then let's proceed. I'll restore you immediately, and you just need to disguise me afterward."
San Qianmian said, both excited and nervous, "What do I need to prepare?"
"As long as you say it, I'll get it for you, no matter what!"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "I told you it's acupuncture, so what else needs to be prepared? Of course, only silver needles are needed!"
"You don't need to do anything else. Just stand there obediently. Leave everything else to me."
Although San Qianmian was confused by Wu Tian's words, since Wu Tian had said so, he had nothing more to ask.
He did as Wu Tian instructed and stood obediently in the middle of the open space.
Wu Tian flicked his wrist slightly, and several silver needles slid into his palm.
Then, without even looking, he swung his arm, and the needles immediately pierced San Qianmian's body.
Instantly, San Qianmian's body trembled slightly.
A wave of intense pain spread throughout his body, and he couldn't help but cry out to the heavens.
