The three who had narrowly escaped made no stops, but instead immediately started the car and drove at full speed towards Lingyue Mountain Villa.
"Hoo~ Hoo~"
Ma Long ripped off the Hulk mask, his heavy breaths making Han Lang gasp.
Turning back, he saw that Ma Long was covered in sweat and his face was pale, appearing to be severely injured.
Han Lang, his face changing drastically, quickly grabbed his pulse.
"Internal organs are vibrating, the heart is faltering, the lungs are bruised and severely congested! You're this badly hurt, why didn't you say so earlier? If it were any later, you could have been in mortal danger, do you know that?"
Han Lang pressed a few points on Ma Long's chest, controlling the spread of his injuries, while anxiously scolding him!
Ma Long, with his injuries under control, looked noticeably more relaxed.
He managed a weak smile.
"I didn't expect it! I was just kicked by that A-class ability user, how could I have imagined it would be so serious!"
Han Lang gave him an exasperated look. "That's right! A kick directly to the back, and you can be so careless? If you hadn't had your cultivation protecting you, and if you hadn't dodged in time, you could have died on the spot! Are you still trying to brag here?"
Han Lang's scolding was unusually loud, but Ma Long clearly caught the flicker of self-reproach in his anxious eyes.
So, he quickly turned back to comfort him.
"Young Master, aren't you exaggerating a bit? Look at me now, full of vigor, do I look seriously injured? Besides, I'm a soldier, what kind of life-or-death situations haven't I seen? Since I followed you, I was prepared mentally! In that urgent situation just now, I definitely couldn't drag my teammates down! Even if I told you, you wouldn't have had time to treat me, right? So, I just held on within my limits, Young Master, you don't need to worry!"
After speaking, he even managed to laugh a couple of times.
Han Lang was speechless.
How could he not know the real reason why Ma Long was deliberately making light of the situation?
But since they were brothers, they naturally had to trust and help each other.
How could they blame each other for a momentary lapse in judgment?
Thinking of this, Han Lang said nothing more. He immediately took out two spirit gathering pills and put them into his and Ma Long's mouths, while instructing.
"I've also consumed a lot. I'll give you acupuncture after I recover a bit! You take some spiritual energy to stabilize it first, and bear with it for now!"
Seeing Ma Long nod, Han Lang turned to Han Kang, who was driving, and said, "Han Kang, drive back to Lingyue Mountain Villa as fast as possible! Brother Ma's injuries can't wait long!"
"En!"
Han Kang was also extremely worried at this moment. Upon receiving Han Lang's instructions, he didn't hesitate and floored the accelerator!
Han Lang dared not waste any time. He immediately sat down in meditation, focusing on recovery.
About twenty minutes later,
The car driven by Han Kang smoothly arrived in front of the Han family villa at Lingyue Mountain Villa.
By now, Ma Long's face was even paler, and he didn't even have the strength to get out of the car himself.
Han Lang quickly called out to Han Kang. The two, one on each side, quickly carried Ma Long back to the room.
After laying Ma Long flat on the bed, Han Lang immediately began to perform "Returning Spring and Dissipating Blood" from the "Eighteen Needles of Shennong"!
This was the acupuncture technique Han Lang had used when saving Han Zhongyi the first time he performed the Eighteen Needles of Shennong.
However, his speed of needling was much faster than before!
Soon,
As the eighteen needles were applied, Ma Long's internal organs seemed to be connected by a golden, winding canal.
At the same time, a golden-red fish followed the canal, dissolving the blood congestion in various places and stimulating powerful life force.
Ma Long's complexion instantly became much more ruddy.
Han Lang did not stop.
He continued to perform the second set of acupuncture, "Nine Stars Aligning"! 138 Reading Network
"Nine Stars Aligning" was essentially dividing the eighteen needles into nine main and nine auxiliary needles.
The nine main silver needles were inserted into major acupoints around the body, stabilizing the internal organs that were disordered by the vibrations; it was like pacifying startled animals, allowing them to continue functioning.
The nine auxiliary needles, based on the nine main needles, stimulated surrounding smaller acupoints, giving the nine main needles more effective stabilizing capabilities.
Thus, forming a formation akin to "Nine Stars Aligning," complementing each other to achieve the most effective results in the shortest time!
After completing all this, Han Lang also felt a bit dizzy, his steps even faltering!
Seeing this, Han Kang stepped forward to support him and asked with concern, "Brother! Are you alright?"
Han Lang rested for a moment and quickly shook his head. "I'm fine! If it weren't for the great exhaustion from tonight's battle, I wouldn't be feeling so weak after just two sets of the Eighteen Needles of Shennong!"
As he spoke, he gently pushed Han Kang away and continued, "The Eighteen Needles of Shennong are most effective for ordinary people, so I can only stabilize Brother Ma's condition for now. To completely cure him, I need to refine a Yuan Returning Pill for him! Han Kang, guard me!"
Han Kang nodded. "Don't worry! I'll guard the door myself, no one will disturb you!"
Then he asked worriedly, "But Brother, can you do it in your current state?"
Han Lang's steps were unsteady, so it was no wonder Han Kang was worried.
However, he still nodded firmly. "I'll be fine! If I hadn't insisted on probing the Gou family's strength, Brother Ma wouldn't have been injured. You two haven't blamed me at all, so how can I not persevere through this difficulty? I know you're worried, but if this Yuan Returning Pill isn't made quickly, it will have a significant impact on Brother Ma. I must persevere!"
Hearing this, Han Kang no longer objected. "Alright, I'll guard the door. Don't close the door completely, leave it slightly ajar so I can observe your condition. If there's anything you can't observe, remember to call me!"
After speaking, Han Kang helped Han Lang sit cross-legged on the carpet and then went to guard the door.
Han Lang did not delay. He immediately took out the medicinal ingredients for the Yuan Returning Pill from his three-tiered pagoda.
The Yuan Returning Pill was a second-tier pill, and its effects were similar to the Foundation Building Pill. In addition to better efficacy, it also had the added function of nourishing the internal organs!
Second-tier pills were still considered low-tier pills, so for Han Lang at this time, the refining difficulty was not very high.
However, Han Lang was quite weak at the moment.
And the process of refining pills was extremely draining.
To maintain his best condition, Han Lang had no choice but to take spirit gathering pills while using spiritual energy needles to stimulate his brain nerves, forcing himself to stay awake.
Extraction, fusion, condensation...
The refining process was largely the same, and even with slight differences, it was insignificant for Han Lang, who possessed all the memories of the otherworldy Medicine Venerable.
After about half an hour of hard work,
A smooth, round, top-grade Yuan Returning Pill finally appeared in Han Lang's hand.
At the same time,
Han Lang's face had become extremely pale, and his spirit was so weak that he could barely keep his eyes open.
Han Kang saw this through the crack in the door and quickly pushed the door open, striding up to Han Lang.
Han Lang laboriously handed the Yuan Returning Pill to Han Kang, using his last bit of willpower, and softly instructed, "Just feed the pill directly to Brother Ma! I can't hold on any longer, I need to rest immediately! I'll leave everything else to you!"
Han Kang replied with determination.
"Rest assured, leave the rest to me!"
