Chapter 661 - 639: I Also Broke Through Eight Bonds
Chapter 661: Chapter 639: I Also Broke Through Eight Bonds
Initially, Song Xiaobing only unlocked three constraints.
With the help of Shen Han’s Acupuncture Technique, her status remained unchanged in Five Immortals City, yet she became a genius disciple who has unlocked the Six Path constraints.
Shen Han’s Acupuncture Technique helped her unlock three constraints.
Naturally, she trusts this "senior" in front of her immensely.
In the entire process, Song Xiaobing only needed to follow the arrangements and welcome Shen Han’s acupuncture application.
Except for occasional stings, there was nothing difficult.
It should be said, the enhancement of Song Xiaobing’s talents was quite effortless.
In comparison, Shen Han was much more laborious.
To unlock the seventh constraint, the fine needle pierces into the cheek area.
This area is extremely sensitive; not even a tiny mistake can occur.
Under the lights, Shen Han must be incredibly meticulous.
The hand holding the fine needle is exceptionally steady.
Previously unlocking those four, five, and six constraints, only the sixth constraint posed some difficulty.
But moving forward, the difficulty certainly increases.
The acupuncture on the face took a full two-hour, as fine needles like spring rain fell upon the face.
When retrieving the needles, Shen Han already felt a bit tired.
Tired though he might be, the seventh constraint should be unlocked.
Shen Han did not let Song Xiaobing get up.
After a brief rest, he prepared to unlock the eighth constraint for her.
From those common knowledge books, Shen Han is aware.
The top geniuses of various sects have only unlocked eight constraints.
As for those who have unlocked nine constraints, Shen Han has only seen them in ancient texts.
Unlocking eight constraints shouldn’t pose too much of a problem.
But unlocking nine constraints might lead to unexpected situations, which is uncertain.
With no precedent to follow, Shen Han doesn’t dare act rashly.
If unlocking nine constraints proves not beneficial, but rather detrimental, then it would be troublesome.
In the Binding Realm, with twelve constraints, no one can be certain that unlocking too many constraints has no disadvantages.
Unlocking eight constraints can at least ensure it’s beneficial.
The night was growing deeper, the surrounding insect chirping sounds had significantly diminished.
Holding a long needle between his fingers.
For maladies within, use the long needle.
This eighth needle, a long needle, has a slender body and a sharp tip.
It’s used for dispelling wind.
When evil wind invades the body, it lodges within.
The purpose of the long needle is to resolve ailments deep within the body.
Shen Han must use the long needle to break this eighth constraint, naturally, it must penetrate deep into the body.
Compared to the superficial body, the difficulty of this eighth needle drastically increases.
To break through this eighth constraint, Shen Han’s focus must naturally be elevated.
The timing of the needle’s application also requires greater attention.
Meanwhile, Song Xiaodie, waiting outside Five Immortals City, was truly anxious.
Firstly, she was concerned for her sister, worried about any accidents.
Secondly, Song Xiaodie has high hopes for this opportunity.
Yet this time, the senior spent too much time unlocking constraints for her sister.
The longer the time, the more likely problems may arise.
Moreover, her opportunity might also dissipate...
Anxiously waiting, midnight had passed.
Tonight, there was no bright moonlight, everything was enveloped in darkness.
Song Xiaodie, feeling uneasy, finally awaited her sister’s return.
Song Xiaobing appeared dazed, as if she had been frightened.
But she hadn’t completely frozen and led her elder sister over.
Upon seeing the "senior," Song Xiaodie unconsciously furrowed her brows.
The "senior" wore a mask, yet gave her a very familiar feeling.
Yet that familiarity, she couldn’t explain...
"Sister, do what the senior says, don’t question recklessly.
Also, stop staring at the senior like that..."
Song Xiaobing quietly instructed, after which, she sensibly left.
"Lie down."
Shen Han continued speaking in a hoarse voice.
With Song Xiaobing’s successful case, Song Xiaodie was very compliant.
Before her, the "senior" seemingly asked nothing from her.
After all, unlocking such constraints as an opportunity was worth exchanging her life for.
Moreover, it was only unlocking one layer.
Her own sister had unlocked three constraints before.
Song Xiaodie had a myriad of thoughts, all sorts of fanciful notions.
Yet her body obeyed, without a single restless move.
Shen Han began applying the acupuncture, starting with unlocking the sixth constraint.
Though more adept than the first time, it still required immense energy.
Sweat on his forehead dripped onto the mask.
Such moist sensation was uncomfortable.
After unlocking the seventh layer for Song Xiaodie, Shen Han slightly lifted the mask to wipe away the sweat.
Revealing some angular features of the jaw.
Lying down, Song Xiaodie glimpsed it, and with just that glance, she felt increasingly ill at ease.
After a brief moment of rest, Shen Han held up the long needle.
Until 3:00 AM, Shen Han’s acupuncture was complete.
That night, the Song family sisters’ constraints had been unlocked to the eighth path.
Upon completion, Shen Han didn’t say much and departed directly.
Watching the "Senior" leave, Song Xiaodie finally got up.
Looking in the direction the "Senior" left, Song Xiaodie picked up the communicator and contacted Shen Han.
Just now, that glance, although she felt it was impossible, the jawline really resembled Shen Han.
In the communicator, Shen Han calmly gave an excuse.
The Elders had some matters for him, talking deep into the night.
During the conversation, there was no way to leave.
The surrounding lights were still flickering, and the noisy sounds of insects, seemingly tired of calling, had now stopped.
Song Xiaodie sat up, pondering for a long while.
She felt there was some resemblance between Shen Han and that Senior.
But after thinking about it, she found it unlikely.
The ability to unravel body bindings so casually, such a miracle, how could a young person possibly learn it.
Thinking of this, Song Xiaodie couldn’t help but pinch her thigh.
She realized her own awkwardness, during this period, she kept having groundless thoughts...
Perhaps because of the chaotic thoughts in her heart, she saw everyone looking like Shen Han...
After coming back to her senses, Song Xiaodie tried not to think about other matters.
Then she tried to explore her own body.
She felt a thrill in her heart.
With her own body freed from Five Paths of bindings, Song Xiaodie was actually content.
But who wouldn’t want their talent to be a bit stronger.
The main thing is, if she freed Six Path of bindings, she’d have the chance to advance a step further.
To cross from Inner Sect Disciple into the ranks of Direct Disciple.
This qualitative leap, whether in terms of resources or guidance from Sect Elders, is entirely different from an Inner Sect Disciple.
The anticipation grew in her heart.
But thinking about how the "Senior" took such a long time with the acupuncture, maybe he unraveled two Paths of bindings for her.
Previously, when this "Senior" performed acupuncture for Song Xiaobing, he unraveled two Paths in one go.
With this precedent, it wouldn’t be an impossible thing.
Thinking about this, Song Xiaodie suppressed the expectations in her heart.
Setting expectations too high makes disappointment most likely.
As long as he helped her unravel Six Paths of bindings, Song Xiaodie would be completely satisfied.
Her consciousness probed in, holding her breath as she explored her body...
Originally freed from Five Paths of bindings, Song Xiaodie, in a daze, discovered she seemed to have unraveled Eight Paths of bindings.
Drawing her consciousness out, she shook her head.
Even pinched her thigh hard, to wake herself up a bit.
Her consciousness probed in once again, reviewing it all over.
It seemed she still unraveled Eight Paths of bindings...
Confirming once more...
Sitting like this, Song Xiaodie spent nearly half a two-hour probing her own body.
By now it was already 5:00 AM, approaching 7:00 AM.
The sky was about to brighten.
From afar, she could already see a glimmer of red light emerging.
At this moment, Song Xiaodie finally confirmed that the Senior truly unraveled the eighth Path of binding on her body.
Though it was confirmed, Song Xiaodie was still struggling to accept it emotionally.
She stood up to walk back, but upon stepping on the ground, she staggered, almost falling.
Hands pressing on her legs, Song Xiaodie stood up again.
At this moment, Song Xiaobing was already waiting in her own courtyard.
After a few hours of calming down, Song Xiaobing was somewhat more composed.
Initially realizing she unraveled Eight Paths, her reaction was no different from her sister’s.
Sitting in the courtyard, she was a bit worried about her sister.
But worry aside, Song Xiaobing knew she couldn’t go disturb that Senior.
An abrupt interruption could easily distract the Senior.
Song Xiaobing didn’t know much about the Acupuncture Technique, but she knew it was absolutely intricate and challenging.
Otherwise, in the Southern Heaven Continent, it wouldn’t be so difficult to unravel even one Path of binding.
At the end of 5:00 AM, Song Xiaobing finally awaited her sister’s return in the courtyard.
Seeing Song Xiaodie, she immediately ran over to hug her sister.
Her younger sister’s soft body in her embrace, Song Xiaodie reached out to hold her.
"Sister, did the Senior’s acupuncture go smoothly?
How many Paths of bindings has Sister unraveled now?"
During the hug, Song Xiaobing couldn’t help but ask.
She was eager to share with her sister.
"The Senior’s Acupuncture Technique is extraordinary, how could it not go smoothly..."
"But Sister looks a bit unhappy."
Hearing Song Xiaobing’s words, Song Xiaodie showed a bitter smile.
"It’s not unhappiness, it’s just that I haven’t quite come to my senses.
It feels like I’m trapped in illusion, an unreality..."
Hearing this, Song Xiaobing nodded as well.
"When the Senior first helped me unravel bindings, I felt the same way.
It felt like I was dreaming, never awakening, and unwilling to wake.
Such a major fortunate opportunity indeed felt unbelievable."
Speaking, Song Xiaobing held her sister’s hand, sitting down.
"Sister, how many Paths has the Senior helped you unravel?"
Song Xiaobing was truly curious, she couldn’t help but ask again.
"The Senior is truly a divine person, and within a few hours, he unraveled three Paths of bindings in my body.
Now, I’ve freed Eight Paths of bindings!"
Song Xiaodie still found it hard to believe as she said this, that she would encounter such an opportunity in her life.
"Xiaobing, and you?"
"I’ve also unraveled Eight Paths..."
