Watching the Meridian Passage Elixir being swallowed by Liou Qingcheng, Lin Tian quickly turned over onto the bed, holding Liou Qingcheng’s hand, transferring all his spiritual energy.

This could help the elixir to exert its effects quickly.

Lin Tian’s spiritual energy entered Liou Qingcheng’s body, maintaining a faint connection between them.

Under Lin Tian’s control, the spiritual energy coursed through every cell of Liou Qingcheng’s body, carrying the effect of the Meridian Passage Elixir straight to the brain!

Liou Qingcheng’s body had no issues, and according to Master Shu Xuanyi, what she needed most now was the stimulation of the brain’s nerves!

And the Meridian Passage Elixir was precisely the spirit medicine that could open the body’s meridians, which matched the treatment well.

However, the spiritual energy combined with the Meridian Passage Elixir created an effect as fierce as a suddenly bursting dam, akin to a flood attack, breaking everything in its path.

Soon, Liou Qingcheng’s face furrowed involuntarily. She kept swallowing saliva, occasionally letting out painful moans.

At this moment, Lin Tian was also soaking with sweat. Helping an ordinary person to open their meridians with his spiritual energy proved extremely difficult, potentially exhausting all his cultivation!

Yet at this point, he couldn’t afford to worry about these things.

Suddenly, Lin Tian’s hand moved away from Liou Qingcheng’s wrist. He took out a cloth bag from his chest. Once the bag was spread open, five silver needles of varying lengths were taken out.

He twisted each silver needle in his fingers until they turned fiery red, then systematically inserted them into the acupoints on Liou Qingcheng’s head.

Baihui Acupoint, Forehead Acupoint, Fengchi Acupoint, Renzhong Acupoint, Yingxiang Acupoint!

These five acupoints are all major acupoints in the human body, and inserting the needles can naturally help the elixir to exert its effects better.

There’s an old saying on Celestial Dragon Continent: a disease comes like a mountain collapsing, and fades like silk being drawn!

This saying is not far from the truth. The human brain is inherently an extremely complex structure, and to this day, no one has been able to fully understand it.

Therefore, Lin Tian proceeded with extreme caution with each needle insertion, because the needles carried spiritual energy, and a single mistake could potentially damage Liou Qingcheng’s brain, resulting in her waking up as a fool.

The depth of each silver needle was precisely controlled by Lin Tian, with an accuracy to about one micron.

It was no simple task, not even Zhao Xuefeng or Zhang Zhixing could accomplish it, nor could anyone at Luoyan Dock!

A full course of acupuncture left thirteen needles in Liou Qingcheng’s head. Some were major acupoints, while others weren’t even recognized in medical practice.

If Zhao Xuefeng saw it, he’d surely have countless questions. First of all, it’d be those incomprehensible acupuncture spots—what acupoints are they? What’s their purpose?

In fact, those aren’t acupoints but the intersections of Liou Qingcheng’s brain nerve pathways.

Without Lin Tian’s ability to see through, it would’ve been impossible to see this.

With the aid of his sight, those silver needles did not harm Liou Qingcheng’s brain nerves, but merely used the needles as a medium to allow spiritual energy to channel through those intersections.

It’s conceivable how immense the workload was. After just ten minutes, Lin Tian was drenched in sweat, greedily breathing air as if he were about to suffocate.

Having transferred spiritual energy once more, Lin Tian only removed all the silver needles once the full effects of the Meridian Passage Elixir had played out.

Even now, the state of Liou Qingcheng was uncertain for Lin Tian.

He dared not give Liou Qingcheng a second Meridian Passage Elixir, for it would be enough to burst her meridians.

If there’s further need, it would have to be after some time.

"Is it still not working..."

Lin Tian was a bit unwilling. He took Liou Qingcheng’s pulse again; her pulse was normal, but she hadn’t woken up.

Although he had great confidence in the Meridian Passage Elixir he made, when confronted with such a situation, he felt uneasy.

Resignedly, Lin Tian simply moved a chair over, leaned on it and waited. After a while, overwhelmed by fatigue, he fell asleep.

...

"Lin Tian... Lin Tian..."

"Don’t disturb me, I need to sleep a little longer." Lin Tian felt unbearably exhausted, needing a good sleep.

The room fell silent once more. Suddenly, Lin Tian opened his eyes wide, staring at Liou Qingcheng.

"You, you’re awake..." Whether from joy or surprise, his voice trembled heavily.

Liou Qingcheng leaned against the bed, watching Lin Tian’s excited expression and couldn’t help but smile, "Yeah, I woke up and saw you, feeling very happy. I feel like I haven’t seen you for a long time. However... I’m about to fall asleep again soon..."

Lin Tian sat on the bed, holding Liou Qingcheng’s hand, foolishly smiling. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but couldn’t bring himself to.

He wished he could tell Liou Qingcheng that her illness was cured and she wouldn’t just wake for a few minutes and sleep again.

But Lin Tian didn’t dare, afraid that Liou Qingcheng’s illness wasn’t fully cured, fearing that giving her hope could lead to disappointment.

Such pressure could drive a person mad!

Helplessly, Lin Tian had to watch for a while longer before speaking.

Liou Qingcheng smiled faintly, her long eyelashes fluttering, softly requesting, "Can you hold me for a while?"

The same action, Liou Qingcheng’s face was merely weary, lacking the usual liveliness and playfulness.

Lin Tian’s heart felt as if it had been struck heavily by something, then he nodded towards Liou Qingcheng, lifted the quilt and went in, wrapping Liou Qingcheng in his arms.

"How are you feeling now?" Lin Tian asked gently.

"I feel quite good, seeing you is the happiest thing." Liou Qingcheng buried her head into the warm and solid chest, like a kitten just awakened, nestling in the owner’s embrace with an endearing charm.

"Lin Tian... do you think I might be like this for the rest of my life?" Liou Qingcheng tried to keep her tone steady but couldn’t help it from subtly trembling.

"No way! I will definitely cure you! Definitely!" Lin Tian firmly declared. Instinctively, he hugged Liou Qingcheng’s body tighter.

Lin Tian might not have candy in his mouth, but his words were sweet to Liou Qingcheng’s heart.

Then, she bitterly smiled and said, "Lin Tian, if I remain like this, I won’t hold you back."

She finished speaking and silently clenched her fist, seemingly making a significant decision.

"What nonsense!"

"I’m not talking nonsense. In my current state, what can I hope for? ...Actually, I think Shishi is quite good, if..."

Lin Tian’s heart started racing, then he touched Liou Qingcheng’s head and said, "Don’t talk nonsense, Shishi and I have nothing going on, you have to believe me."

"I didn’t say there was anything between you and her, why are you so nervous? Do you really have something going on?"

Lin Tian felt his heart racing even faster—had he accidentally revealed something?
