Eating pills like candy

Xia Zhiqing was feeling very frustrated. From the beginning, she knew that it was impossible for her to make it to the finals with her own strength.

When she found out that her first-round opponent was Lu Jingqi, she couldn't help but feel relieved.

If she could defeat Lu Jingqi with ordinary means and advance to the second round, she would be able to use her Fire Whip technique in the next round to help her teammates overcome an obstacle.

They were a team now, and everything she did was to help the team go further.

However, her plan had ultimately failed, wasting a great opportunity!

Baili Hongzhuang patted Xia Zhiqing on the shoulder and said, "You've already done great, don't think too much about it."

Xia Zhiqing nodded and smiled at Baili Hongzhuang, but her smile was tinged with disappointment.

"Zhiqing, let me use acupuncture on you. It might improve your condition a bit," Baili Hongzhuang said slowly.

By using acupuncture, she could stimulate Xia Zhiqing's meridians and cells, helping her absorb the effects of the Qi-Boosting Pills at the fastest speed.

In this way, it might be possible to help Xia Zhiqing recover her strength.

Upon hearing this, Xia Zhiqing was taken aback. "Will this method work?"

Baili Hongzhuang smiled faintly. "If I say it works, then it works. Don't forget who I am."

Xia Zhiqing's eyes brightened. After all, Baili Hongzhuang was a famous divine physician!

"Hongzhuang, you're our hope to reach the finals. Using acupuncture will consume mental energy. Are you sure?" Zhan Yunfeng said with concern. If possible, she naturally wanted Xia Zhiqing to regain her strength, but if it would affect Baili Hongzhuang's performance, it wouldn't be a good thing either.

Xia Zhiqing also quickly spoke up, "Yunfeng is right, Hongzhuang. Don't help me. You're the most important."

It wasn't a big deal that she failed, but if it ended up dragging down Baili Hongzhuang, she would be the one at fault.

Baili Hongzhuang waved her hand. "Don't worry, it's just stimulating the meridians. It's not detoxification or treatment, so it's not that complicated, and it won't consume much energy."

"Hongzhuang, are you telling the truth?" Xia Zhiqing asked uncertainly.

Baili Hongzhuang smiled and nodded. "Of course, I wouldn't lie to you about something like this."

Xia Zhiqing couldn't help but look at Zhan Yunfeng, who also nodded. "Since Hongzhuang says it's fine, we might as well give it a try."

In the next moment, Baili Hongzhuang took out a silver needle. Her elemental energy surged as she accurately and steadily pierced Xia Zhiqing's acupoints.

This was Xia Zhiqing's first experience with acupuncture. She had originally thought that such a long needle would be very painful, but after Baili Hongzhuang inserted the needle, she didn't feel any pain at all. Instead, she felt a tingling sensation and found it quite comfortable.

Baili Hongzhuang took out a white porcelain bottle and handed it to Xia Zhiqing. "These are Qi-Boosting Pills. Take two of them first."

If Xia Zhiqing relied on her own cultivation to recover her elemental energy, one hour would definitely not be enough, so the Qi-Boosting Pills were especially important.

Xia Zhiqing looked at the whole bottle of Qi-Boosting Pills in her hand and couldn't help but feel emotional.

Even though she had known that Baili Hongzhuang was rich in medicinal pills, seeing this display still surprised her. It was like eating candy with these many Qi-Boosting Pills!
