"Master Bai!"
Upon seeing Bai Zihe, Qian Youguang immediately got out of bed and knelt before him with trembling knees, "Please, save me!"
"As long as you can save me, I'll agree to any condition!"
In the face of death, one is as humble as a dog.
Everyone is like this.
Bai Zihe said calmly, "Lie down on the bed first and don't move."
Qian Youguang immediately lay down obediently.
Bai Zihe took out the Seventy-two Yin-Yang Needles.
His fingers flew, and amidst the shimmering golden light, the golden needles were arranged in an orderly fashion and inserted into Qian Youguang's body.
The first needle was inserted into the Tanzhong point on the chest.
The second needle was inserted into the ZIgong point on the chest.
The third needle...
As one needle after another was inserted, Qian Youguang's complexion visibly improved.
"Puff..."
As the last needle was inserted, the needles on Qian Youguang's body formed a Yin-Yang formation, with golden light flowing within.
"Shua!"
"Hum..."
"Huala..."
Bai Zihe concentrated for a moment, and according to the methods of Hexagrams and Bagua, he manipulated the tails of these golden needles, which emitted endless brilliance.
The Yin-Yang formation seemed to come alive and began to operate.
A thought arises, yin declines and yang flourishes.
A thought extinguishes, yang dims and yin emerges.
At the same time.
Streams of black mist also rose from the tails of the golden needles, emitting a pungent odor, which were the toxins being expelled.
As the toxins were expelled, the flushed red color on Qian Youguang's face gradually receded.
The white central axis also became dim and lusterless.
Until finally.
It completely disappeared, almost invisible to the naked eye.
Bai Zihe withdrew the Seventy-two Yin-Yang Needles and asked, "How do you feel now?"
Qian Youguang sensed his condition and was overjoyed.
"Thank you, Mr. Bai, for saving my life!"
He bowed deeply to Bai Zihe and said sincerely, "Mr. Bai, tell me, what reward do you want?"
Bai Zihe directly asked, "I want to know... the origin of the True Yuan Spirit Stones."
Qian Youguang's expression changed slightly.
The light in his eyes flickered uncertainly, shifting between brightness and darkness, and he did not answer immediately.
"What?"
Bai Zihe's eyebrows furrowed slightly, "Is this question very difficult?"
Qian Youguang sighed and said to Bai Zihe, "Mr. Bai, I cannot answer this. Please ask for something else."
"If you want treasures, wealth, secret manuals, anything is fine."
"Only this..."
Qian Youguang shook his head, "I really can't."
Bai Zihe's expression turned cold, "I don't need anything else, I just want to know the origin of the True Yuan Spirit Stones."
"It's really impossible."
Qian Youguang shook his head with a bitter smile, his refusal firm.
Seeing his repeated lack of appreciation, Bai Zihe smiled, "Since you don't want to say, then you can obediently wait for death."
Qian Youguang's face changed, "Mr. Bai, what do you mean?"
Bai Zihe sneered.
The next moment.
"Ahhhh..."
Qian Youguang suddenly let out a scream. It turned out that the White Death had relapsed!
The White Death...
It was called one of the world's most peculiar poisons precisely because of its recurrence.
"Uh uh uh..."
In just a moment, Qian Youguang was so tormented by the White Death that he was beyond recognition, and the bloody light reappeared all over his body.
What made him even more terrified.
The white central axis, representing death, reappeared and rapidly spread upwards from the middle of his nose bridge.
At this speed.
In less than an hour, it would reach his brow.
At that time, he would surely die.
"I'll tell you, I'll tell you!"
On the verge of death, Qian Youguang was more terrified than ever and immediately said to Bai Zihe, "Mr. Bai, please suppress the spread of the poison first, and I'll tell you now."
Bai Zihe snorted coldly.
A golden needle was again placed on his Tanzhong acupoint.
Qian Youguang felt much better and quickly said, "The True Yuan Spirit Stones were given to me by a masked man in black. I don't know who he is."
"However, he could see at a glance that I had been poisoned by the White Death."
"He also told me that if I auctioned off the True Yuan Spirit Stones, someone would be able to cure my poison, so I believed the Japanese method at the time."
"I just didn't expect..."
Bai Zihe was not interested in this and asked, "Did he say anything else?"
"Yes."
Qian Youguang immediately said, "He gave me his address, about ten miles west of here."
Having obtained the address.
After Bai Zihe briefly treated Qian Youguang to suppress the poison, he immediately set off.
West suburb.
Bai Zihe quickly arrived at a manor about ten miles away.
"Hum!"
As soon as he pushed the door open, Bai Zihe felt a sharp aura lock onto him.
He instinctively dodged.
"Boom!"
A dark figure punched out in mid-air, and the powerful fist wind blasted a large pit in the ground.
Bai Zihe couldn't help but gasp.
This power...
This person had surpassed the Grandmaster!
"Swoosh!"
The opponent missed his attack and struck again, his right hand thrusting out like a long sword, carrying a bone-chilling coldness and sharp energy.
When one's strength reaches a certain high level.
Even a hand strike is more lethal than a thousand-times-tempered sword!
The opponent was such a master.
Bai Zihe's lips curled into a smile, and he also chopped out with a hand strike.
The palms of both sides met.
The opponent changed his hand strike into a claw, attempting to grip Bai Zihe's wrist.
Just defending was not Bai Zihe's style. As he parried, he threw a punch with his left hand.
Dual-line attack!
"Shua..."
"Pa!"
"Kaka kaka—"
In just three minutes, the two exchanged dozens of moves.
They fought with great spirit, with back and forth exchanges. Bai Zihe had already used sixty to seventy percent of his strength, yet he still couldn't subdue him, and the match was a draw.
"Shua!"
Just as Bai Zihe was preparing to exert more force.
The opponent suddenly jumped out of the fight and stood there. It was the masked man in black that Qian Youguang had mentioned.
The eyes he revealed showed approval.
"Bai Zihe, congratulations, you have passed the test."
