The elder, or rather King Yan Ning Qianshu, waved his hand casually, and those Commonheart Worms returned to Ye Qing, hiding inside Ye Qing's clothes. He then sat down beside Ye Qing, grabbed Ye Qing's wrist, and began to take his pulse.

"Meridians completely severed! Meridians completely severed!" Ning Qianshu said it twice in a row, then turned to look at Ye Qing, frowning slightly, "Why is it that such a thing just has to happen to you? For an ordinary person, severed meridians would just render them crippled. But within you lies the Inner Strength of Northern Fist King Li Changqing for many years. With your meridians severed, what awaits you is death from your own inner strength exploding your body. Alas, indeed fortune and misfortune are intertwined!"

Ning Qianshu shook his head repeatedly with a sigh, speaking with a hint of frustration, "The most troublesome part is, you cannot die. If you die, my stubborn old senior brother will surely seal Medicine King Mountain, and all my years of effort would be wasted! Alas, must I really save you after all?"

While speaking, Ning Qianshu paced back and forth in the room, looking at Ye Qing, and said gloomily, "This brat's meridians were severed not long ago, repairing them isn't an impossible task. My senior brother's situation is different; his meridians have been severed for so long, all the wounds have withered and cannot be reconnected. However, this brat was born with blocked meridians, which is why the acme Inner Strength of Li Changqing within him cannot be unleashed. Now, with his meridians completely severed, if I connect them for him, the previously blocked meridians will also be completely open. This is indeed troublesome. If all his meridians are connected, won't Li Changqing's Inner Strength be at his disposal? In this way, wouldn't it create a master comparable to the Five Uniques?"

Ning Qianshu couldn't help but glance at Ye Qing again and said in a deep voice, "If this brat is willing to help me, creating a master comparable to the Five Uniques, then there's nothing to worry about. But, this brat opposes me at every turn, and if I make him into a master comparable to the Five Uniques, won't I be inviting trouble on myself? If his strength is truly achieved, wouldn't even I be unable to suppress him in the future?"

This matter left Ning Qianshu even more frustrated, uncertain about whether to save Ye Qing. If Ye Qing didn't have the Inner Strength of Northern Fist King Li Changqing within him, connecting Ye Qing's meridians wouldn't be a big deal and wouldn't change anything. But now, the problem lies right here.

Within Ye Qing is all of the Inner Strength of Northern Fist King Li Changqing, which is incredibly terrifying. At that time, Shen Tianjun and Shijia joined forces just to clear the meridians in one of Ye Qing's arms, and his strength had already soared, with almost no rivals among the younger generation. If his entire body's meridians are cleared, fully releasing Li Changqing's Inner Strength, Ye Qing's achievements will indeed reach the level of the Five Uniques, which is what Ning Qianshu fears most. If such an enemy is actually created for himself, even Ning Qianshu would be unable to control Ye Qing in the future!

Ning Qianshu paced back and forth several times in the room, hesitating about what to do. He knew he had to save Ye Qing this time, or the matter of Medicine King Mountain would be hopeless. But how to save him was still a troublesome thing. If he wanted to save Ye Qing, he would have to connect all of Ye Qing's meridians and contain all of Northern Fist King Li Changqing's Inner Strength within his meridians. However, this was also the thing he least wanted to do because it would be like turning Ye Qing into a peak master in the flesh!

After pondering for a long time, Ning Qianshu suddenly thought of something, his eyes lighting up. He turned to look at Ye Qing and smiled, "Got it, got it, there's a way. Saving you is not difficult, but I can't let you step over me in the future. Connect your meridians, and then leave a seal inside you, making your meridians fragile. In this way, you won't be able to fully utilize Li Changqing's Inner Strength and won't have the strength of the Five Uniques. This way, you won't hinder my affairs, isn't it a win-win!"

A sly, cold smile flashed across Ning Qianshu's lips. Without delay, he took out a pill from his body and directly stuffed it into Ye Qing's mouth.

"I will now help you connect your meridians. Take this Return-to-Origin Pill to temporarily gather all your inner strength into the Dantian!" Ning Qianshu held Ye Qing's wrist, feeling Ye Qing's True Qi gradually calm down, then lifted Ye Qing up to sit cross-legged on the bed.

"Hoo!" Ning Qianshu took a deep breath, a flash of brilliance in his eyes, suddenly reached out, and quickly tapped Ye Qing's body, each time targeting an acupoint on Ye Qing. From the head downwards, he tapped all of Ye Qing's acupoints, taking a full ten minutes, without missing a spot.

This scene, should it be seen by other powerful figures, would indeed be shocking. For someone of Ning Qianshu's level, acupoint pressing is not difficult. But the difficult thing is to be so precise in recognizing acupoints, without missing any across the entire body. Besides doctors like Ning Qianshu, who else can accomplish this?

If Sai Hua Tuo Baili Xi hadn't lost his martial arts, he could also do this. But now that he has lost all his martial arts, it's impossible for him to conduct acupoint pressing anymore. Therefore, only Ning Qianshu can do this now.

After tapping all of Ye Qing's acupoints, Ning Qianshu took a step back, his steps visibly faltering. Even with his strength, doing such a thing inevitably left him somewhat exhausted and dizzy.

"Good heavens!" Ning Qianshu took several deep breaths, finally steadying himself, then took out a pill from his own body and put it in his mouth, after a while, regaining his vigor.

"Connecting someone's meridians is really the most exhausting thing!" Ning Qianshu sighed, not distracted, and carefully observed Ye Qing. Seeing Ye Qing's skin gradually turn red, he immediately took out a tightly sealed bottle from his body. Opening the bottle revealed a crimson pill inside, exuding a fragrance that penetrated into one's heart.

"This Rebirth Pill is a thousand times stronger than Huangfu Household's Ziyu Chenxiang Pill, and today it will be your bargain!" Ning Qianshu reluctantly stuffed the elixir into Ye Qing's mouth and then chuckled, "However, you shouldn't expect to fully absorb the power of this Rebirth Pill. Master once said that the power of the Rebirth Pill is enough to bring the dead back to life, repairing your meridians is naturally not difficult. But, the power of the Rebirth Pill is too strong, if you can't fully refine it, it will adhere within the body, settling in the areas previously repaired. And the power of the Rebirth Pill will continuously keep your meridians in a state of regeneration. So even though your meridians can be connected, they will become fragile. Even if they can bear all of Li Changqing's Inner Strength, they cannot be used extensively, otherwise, the meridians will snap again, and you'll endure the pain of severed meridians once more!"

Who could have thought this Rebirth Pill could have such an effect. It seems, as some in the field of medicine say, every medicine has a bit of poison. If overdosed, it might not necessarily benefit the patient and could even be detrimental. Now Ye Qing's situation is like this. A single Rebirth Pill can indeed repair his meridians, but it also limits his meridians, so he cannot maximize the use of Li Changqing's Inner Strength!

Actually, even Ning Qianshu himself can't refine the medicine's effects of the Rebirth Pill. Having researched for so long, he is very clear about the power of its effects. This Rebirth Pill has the power to bring the dead back to life, but he doesn't have the ability to fully digest its power. This makes the Rebirth Pill like an uneatable yet regrettable piece of food since it's so powerful but unusable.

This time, Ning Qianshu finally found the most suitable opportunity. Using this Rebirth Pill, he not only saved Ye Qing but also limited his meridians. Hence, although Ye Qing can connect his meridians and release all of Li Changqing's Inner Strength, his meridians are thus restricted, and even though he possesses Li Changqing's full Inner Strength, he cannot use it extensively. Otherwise, the meridians would snap again, and who could endure the pain of severed meridians?

As the Rebirth Pill went into his stomach, Ning Qianshu could visibly see changes in Ye Qing's body. All his blood seemed to boil, and his skin turned crimson red all over, even his head. The pulse at his wrist was so intense that it was visible.

After a while, the abnormal changes on Ye Qing's body gradually subsided, and his body slowly returned to its original state. However, he remained unconscious.

Ning Qianshu walked over to the side of Huangfu Ziyu, looked around slowly, and then said, "The power of the Rebirth Pill is indeed something else. In just a short time, the meridians have all been reconnected. However, not even a tenth of the medicine's power has been absorbed, seems like Master was right, this Rebirth Pill is not even usable for a peak master. Oh well, I shall use it to limit this brat!"

After saying this, Ning Qianshu slowly stood up, looked at Huangfu Ziyu who was next to him, and said, "It seems like the medicinal power from this Rebirth Pill still needs some time to settle in his body. It seems like it will be a while before this brat wakes up again. But that's good, tonight without you competing, it will make things a bit easier for me!"
