Seven silver needles, four vanished instantly.
Only three silver needles remained, channeling ten parts of Dragon Power.
Qin Xuan's three needles were directed to Wang Yuyan's Dantian.
The forehead, the sternum, the navel.
The human Dantian is divided into upper, middle, and lower sections.
The Upper Dantian, the abode of the spirit, is known as the Yintang acupoint.
The Middle Dantian, the resting place of Qi, is the Tanzhong acupoint.
The Lower Dantian, the repository of essence, belongs to the Guanyuan acupoint.
Essence, Qi, and Spirit – these are the robust foundations of a martial artist.
However, in Dragon Country today, few martial artists cultivate all three; they merely build the Lower Dantian and then base their strength on their physique.
But now, with Wang Yuyan's life hanging by a thread, Qin Xuan was making a desperate gamble.
A normal person's body, let alone the formidable Dragon Power of Qin Xuan, could hardly withstand even the inner energy cultivated by ordinary martial artists.
Therefore, to succeed, Qin Xuan had to lay a solid foundation of essence, Qi, and spirit for Wang Yuyan.
Wang Yuyan's internal organs were severely damaged, her meridians riddled with holes, leaving no room for error.
Historically, the practice of bestowing power as Qin Xuan was doing was a grave taboo for martial artists, and a slight misstep could lead to immediate death.
Though Qin Xuan was anxious, he could only proceed with the utmost caution.
Looking at the faint smile on Wang Yuyan's lips, Qin Xuan's heart felt as if it were being gouged by a knife.
"Yuyan, I will definitely bring you back."
Dragon Scale activated, and surging Dragon Power poured out of Qin Xuan's body, like a mighty river, ceaseless.
Using the silver needles as conduits, it slowly entered Wang Yuyan's body.
As it turned out, Qin Xuan's idea was correct.
After the Dragon Power entered Wang Yuyan's three Dantains, it seemed to gain sentience, forming defenses within the Dantains and radiating outwards, repairing Wang Yuyan's meridians.
With Qin Xuan's assistance, the resilience of Wang Yuyan's three Dantains grew stronger and stronger.
Qin Xuan now realized that Wang Yuyan's natural talent was exceptional, a world of difference compared to himself before obtaining the Dragon Scale.
The Dragon Power gradually took the initiative, repairing Wang Yuyan's damaged body.
In Qin Xuan's vision, Wang Yuyan's entire network of meridians became wider and tougher under the tempering of the Dragon Power.
Qin Xuan was also puzzled why the Dragon Power in Wang Yuyan's body showed no rejection at all.
Before, he had only used Dragon Power for healing.
Now, this was the legendary bestowing of power.
These were two entirely different concepts.
Could it be?
Because Wang Yuyan had done something for him that night...
Qin Xuan shook his head; thinking about such things at this moment was utterly idiotic.
Wang Yuyan, in a way, was fortunate amidst misfortune.
Once she awoke, she would be a genuine cultivator, just like him.
However, in this era of declining spiritual energy, cultivation would be incredibly arduous.
Despite the foundation laid by Qin Xuan's Dragon Power, Wang Yuyan's physique lagged behind, and with the scarce spiritual energy, her progress would be slow, perhaps not even enough to defeat a Postnatal martial artist.
But at least among ordinary people, she would be unstoppable.
"Mm..."
A few minutes later, Wang Yuyan frowned, her eyes slowly opening.
"So, even after death, one doesn't change position," Wang Yuyan's pupils gradually focused.
"Qin Xuan, why are you here? Did you come to die with me? I'm so touched, but what will Tantai do if you're dead?"
Qin Xuan was at a loss for words, channeling Dragon Power with one hand and gently stroking Wang Yuyan's cheek with the other.
"I told you, I would save you."
"Ah? I'm not dead." Wang Yuyan was overjoyed.
"I said, with me here, how could I possibly let you die?"
Qin Xuan smiled knowingly, and Wang Yuyan, overcome with joy, began to cry.
"Qin Xuan, I'm not dead, I'm not dead!"
Hiss.
Wang Yuyan gasped.
"Xuan, it hurts so much, it feels like my body is going to explode, so full."
"Just bear with it for a moment, and you will become like me."
"Like you!"
Wang Yuyan's eyes lit up.
"Yes."
Qin Xuan nodded with a smile, gently brushing away the stray hairs from Wang Yuyan's forehead.
"I'm going to become a martial artist? Like Qi Xiang?"
"Even more advanced than her."
"Really!"
"When have I ever lied to you?"
"You've never lied to me?"
"Of course."
Wang Yuyan giggled and suddenly sat up.
She pecked Qin Xuan on the cheek.
"I think I faintly heard someone say... they love me, I wonder if it's true..."
