Seeing Yao Bao'er's actions, Ye Cangtian became confused and asked, "Why did you take her out? Have you deciphered all the contents on it?"
Yao Bao'er explained as she flipped through the secret manual.
She could understand very little of the content. The diagrams for acupuncture involved many points on the head.
In modern Chinese medicine, these acupoints had effects such as clearing the mind, calming the nerves, reducing irritability, and some could even stimulate memory.
Therefore, she guessed that this might have some effect on Shangguan Yanran.
Most importantly, based on her accumulated experience, she was helpless against Shangguan Yanran, so she decided to take a risk and try.
As she spoke, her gaze fell on Ye Cangtian again, and she said, "Boss, this attempt is very dangerous, and I cannot guarantee any consequences. If you disagree, there is still time to stop!"
"This..."
Ye Cangtian hesitated. Experimenting on Shangguan Yanran, and with Yao Bao'er not having fully deciphered it, the chances of success for such a treatment were likely less than ten percent.
To be honest, he felt a pang of guilt.
"Go ahead and do it. I will bear all the consequences."
As Ye Cangtian hesitated, Jian Wusheng's voice came through.
He had witnessed the pain and suffering Shangguan Yanran had endured during this time.
As a relative and elder, he also bore the torment in his heart, even wishing countless times that Shangguan Yanran would just give up and find release sooner, which might not be a bad thing.
However, upon seeing Shangguan Yanran desperately resisting, he had not uttered the words.
If Shangguan Yanran was still fighting, how could he persuade her to give up?
But now, even Shangguan Yanran could not hold on any longer and had entrusted her life to Ye Cangtian, truly unable to bear it any longer and prepared to face death.
Since that was the case, there was nothing to hold back in terms of treatment.
On the other side, Ye Cangtian cast a deep glance at Jian Wusheng, then turned to Yao Bao'er and said, "Do your best."
Upon hearing this, Yao Bao'er nodded, took out her acupuncture needle bag, and slowly walked forward, inserting the needles one by one according to the diagrams in the ancient secret manual...
During the acupuncture process, Yao Bao'er was extremely cautious and steady in her movements.
Although Shangguan Yanran had lost her self and become extremely violent, due to being bound, she could at most let out some low growls and roars.
However, when Yao Bao'er inserted the final needle, wisps of white mist rose from Shangguan Yanran's forehead among her beautiful hair.
At the same time, the low growls from Shangguan Yanran instantly turned into piercing screams, and her struggles became even more frantic.
Seeing this, both Ye Cangtian and Jian Wusheng's hearts were in their throats.
This set of acupuncture techniques definitely had a significant effect, but the question was, what kind of effect would this effect have on Shangguan Yanran's condition?
Both of them looked at Yao Bao'er in unison, expecting her to provide an answer.
"Don't look at me. I can't tell if this state is good or bad."
Feeling their gazes, Yao Bao'er said with shame.
She had merely found the most targeted formation in the ancient secret manual based on her understanding of acupoints.
As for whether it would heal Shangguan Yanran or worsen her condition, she did not know, as she could not understand the annotations in the manual.
To put it bluntly, she was also gambling.
Betting that this ancient secret manual contained formations for healing rather than harming.
Upon hearing Yao Bao'er's explanation, Ye Cangtian and Jian Wusheng fell silent. After all, this matter had been mentioned before, so they did not blame Yao Bao'er at all.
They simply stayed by the bedside together, observing Shangguan Yanran's condition.
As time ticked by, under the watchful eyes of the three, they actually noticed that the red hue in Shangguan Yanran's eyes had faded slightly.
The three exchanged glances, and a look of excitement suddenly appeared on their faces.
This was a sign of improvement.
"Boss, we're quite lucky!"
Yao Bao'er breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "There's still one problem. Shangguan Yanran's own consciousness seems very tired. It would be best to have some calming medicine."
Upon hearing this, Jian Wusheng said nothing more and immediately got up, preparing to go to the Hidden Group to request some.
However, before he could even leave the door, Ye Cangtian called out to him.
"Senior, there's no need to trouble yourself. I have the Awakening Spirit Pill here!"
This bottle of pills was a rather useless reward given to him by Xing Yuan, and it was generally of no use.
But when Yao Bao'er mentioned calming medicine, he immediately thought of the Awakening Spirit Pill. Didn't this fit the pill's effects?
As he handed the pills to Yao Bao'er, he muttered to himself, wondering if Xing Yuan would spit blood from anger if he knew the Awakening Spirit Pill was being used on Shangguan Yanran!
Yao Bao'er took the pills and sniffed them near her nose, immediately nodding.
Just by smelling the medicinal fragrance, her mind felt incredibly clear and comfortable, and even her agitated emotions had been greatly alleviated.
It seemed the pills were fine.
After a brief assessment, Yao Bao'er went to Shangguan Yanran's side and placed an Awakening Spirit Pill into her mouth.
In the next instant, the piercing screams in the room disappeared. Within a mere minute or two, Shangguan Yanran fell into a deep sleep.
"That's all for today."
"Acupuncture also requires a gradual approach, so don't rush. Now that we've had a good start, I am confident I can cure her!"
"Also, Boss, you should leave the Awakening Spirit Pill with me."
Yao Bao'er said, then asked Ye Cangtian for the Awakening Spirit Pill.
Being able to make Shangguan Yanran fall into a deep sleep from piercing screams in such a short time, the Awakening Spirit Pill definitely had powerful effects.
Furthermore, it might have an unexpectedly restraining effect on Shangguan Yanran's condition.
On the other side, Ye Cangtian naturally wouldn't refuse and directly handed the Awakening Spirit Pill to Yao Bao'er before leaving the mansion alone.
Now that Shangguan Yanran had hope, it went without saying that Yao Bao'er would stay to watch over and treat her.
...
After leaving Jian Wusheng's mansion, Ye Cangtian headed directly towards the great river.
Elder Long had been his teacher, and since he was back, he naturally had to visit him.
On the banks of the great river, in the familiar spot, Ye Cangtian saw a familiar figure. Elder Long was still there, fishing.
"Kid, you're back?"
"Very good. In just a few months, you've reached the Earth level. Truly monstrous talent!"
Before Ye Cangtian could walk closer, Elder Long's voice reached him.
He knew clearly Ye Cangtian's realm when he left here. Although it was only the final sprint, the final sprint was the most difficult.
And Ye Cangtian's successful breakthrough in such a short period was simply incredible.
Even he himself had spent nearly a year to break through that final membrane back in the day.
"Uh..."
Hearing Elder Long's voice, Ye Cangtian was slightly stunned. Although he had deliberately masked his aura, he had not actively released it.
For Elder Long to sense his realm from such a distance was somewhat surprising.
He knew that this distance had already far exceeded his own perception.
The next moment, he quickened his steps, approached, and said with a wry smile, "Old man, I'm no monster. I took a shortcut. I obtained a Nine Revolutions Golden Pill earlier, and with the help of the pill, I was lucky enough to break through."
"While pills are good, breaking through to the Earth level is still inseparable from your own efforts and talent."
"You must understand that some people, even if you give them a Nine Revolutions Golden Pill, will not be able to break through the barrier..."
Hearing Elder Long say this, Ye Cangtian shrugged. There was no need to argue.
The next moment, he changed the subject and asked, "Old man, haven't you tried taking a Nine Revolutions Golden Pill?"
Elder Long glanced at him and said, "Kid, your concern is enough. Don't worry about me. Although Nine Revolutions Golden Pills are rare, they have no effect on me..."
He had once been an Earth-level expert, and obtaining Nine Revolutions Golden Pills was not difficult. Moreover, with Dongfang Mingyue and Dongfang Hongwu around, he could mobilize the resources of the Hidden Group.
However, this still had no effect on his injuries.
"Actually, I wanted to say that I brought someone back from outside the ruins."
"She is quite accomplished in medicine. If you really have no other methods, old man, you can try finding her."
Ye Cangtian hesitated for a long time before slowly saying.
