Giving acupuncture to my junior sister
Inside Lingyun Cave, candlelight flickered.
The door of the Immortal Cave slammed shut, and as streaks of light from the Restrictions flashed, the wind, snow, and clamor of the outside world were completely cut off.
This place was Su Ye's exclusive domain.
The furnishings inside the cave were not luxurious, yet they exuded an indescribable elegance. The air was filled with a faint scent of ambergris, which Su Ye usually used to calm his mind.
But at this moment, as the fragrance drifted into Lin Waner's nostrils, it became the most potent catalyst.
A lone man and a lone woman.
Alone in a secret room.
Lin Waner stood in the center of the Immortal Cave, her hands twisting the hem of her clothes. The arrogance she had displayed outside was now completely gone.
In its place was a blush of shyness that spread from her neck to her ears.
Her heart pounded wildly, as if a small deer were thumping against her chest.
Senior Brother said he would teach her "hand-in-hand."
And that he would "give his all."
Is... is this also a part of cultivation?
Lin Waner stole a glance at the tall, slender figure in front of her.
Su Ye had his back to her, busy with something at a simple, ancient jade table.
That broad back, like a pine or cypress tree, gave Lin Waner an unprecedented sense of security just by looking at it.
And... a trace of uncontrollable heat.
"Senior Brother..."
Lin Waner called out softly, her voice so tender it sounded as if it could melt into water.
"Mhm."
Su Ye didn't turn around. His voice remained as gentle as jade, but it carried a hint of seriousness.
"Waner, do you know why you are stuck at the Foundation Establishment Sixth Heaven and have been unable to break through for so long?"
Lin Waner was taken aback.
She had originally expected some indescribable scenes to follow, but she hadn't expected Senior Brother to actually be discussing cultivation.
She composed herself and muttered somewhat aggrievedly:
"Waner doesn't know. I've clearly worked very hard, circulating the 'Ruoshui Art' every day, but the Spiritual Qi in my body is like a pool of stagnant water. No matter what, I can't break through that barrier."
"Stagnant water?"
Su Ye chuckled and slowly turned around.
In his hand was an exquisite jade box.
"Water benefits all things without contention."
"But if one only accumulates it without knowing how to clear the path, it will no longer be living water that nourishes all things, but will instead become a disastrous flood."
Su Ye walked up to Lin Waner and looked down at her.
His deep eyes seemed to contain the stars and the sea, making one sink into them with just a single glance.
"Your Primal Water Body is a rare, top-grade Physique in this world."
"Abundant water Qi is your talent, but it is also your shackle."
"Currently, your Meridians are congested, like countless rivers blocked by silt. The Spiritual Qi cannot circulate, so naturally, you cannot break through."
Su Ye's voice was deep and magnetic, every word striking Lin Waner's heart.
Lin Waner nodded half-understandingly, looking up with a dazed expression:
"Then... Senior Brother, what should Waner do?"
"It's very simple."
The corners of Su Ye's mouth curled up slightly into a meaningful arc.
He slowly opened the jade box in his hand.
A cold light flashed.
Inside the box were not some miraculous Spirit Pills, but rows of silver needles of varying lengths, as thin as ox hair.
These silver needles were translucent throughout, faintly emitting a cold Aura. Clearly, they were no ordinary items.
They were the Profound Rank Low Grade Spiritual Artifact—[Bone-Piercing Soul-Fixing Needles]—which Su Ye had spent forty-nine days refining from the essence of deep-sea cold iron.
Of course, in front of Lin Waner, these were just tools used for "healing and saving people."
"Since there is a blockage, we shall clear it."
Su Ye's slender fingers gently picked up the longest silver needle and waved it under the candlelight.
The silver needle reflected a cold, sharp light.
Lin Waner subconsciously shrank her neck, feeling a bit afraid.
"A... acupuncture?"
"Scared?"
Su Ye smiled gently and reached out with his other hand to pat Lin Waner's head.
"If it's not cleared, this accumulated water Qi will eventually burst your Meridians."
"When that happens, let alone breaking through to the Golden Core, you might not even be able to save your life."
"And..."
Su Ye leaned down and leaned into Lin Waner's ear, his warm breath blowing against her sensitive earlobe:
"Once it's cleared, Waner will feel very comfortable."
"That is the... most ultimate pleasure in this world."
Boom!
It was as if a firework had exploded in Lin Waner's mind.
The most ultimate pleasure.
Coming from Senior Brother's mouth, these words carried an inexplicable allure.
She bit her lip, and the trace of fear in her eyes was instantly replaced by trust and a certain expectation.
"Waner... is not afraid."
"As long as it's Senior Brother, Waner is willing to do anything."
Even if she were to be pricked into a hedgehog, as long as it was Senior Brother's doing, she would be a happy hedgehog.
"Good girl."
Su Ye nodded in satisfaction.
He pointed to the Cloud Bed in the center of the Immortal Cave, carved from a single piece of warm jade.
"Go on, take off your outer garments and lie face down on the bed."
"Relax your back."
Lin Waner's cheeks were burning hot, like ripe apples.
Without any hesitation, she obediently walked to the Cloud Bed.
This was where Senior Brother usually sat in meditation to Cultivate, and his scent still lingered on it.
With trembling hands, she untied her waistband.
Her silk clothes were gently unfastened.
Her gauze dress slipped down.
A moment later.
A body like mutton-fat white jade was revealed in the air.
Although only her back was exposed, the smooth lines, the shoulder blades like butterfly wings, and the slender waist all radiated an astonishing allure.
Especially the faint flow of water light beneath her skin, which further proved the extraordinary nature of the Primal Water Body.
"Truly a fine piece of material."
Su Ye looked at the sight before him and praised silently in his heart.
This was not just a visual treat, but also an excellent cauldron.
As long as he helped her clear these major Acupoints tonight, this girl's cultivation would surely soar. Meanwhile, the Demonic Seed he had planted could use the momentum of the Breakthrough to take root deep within her Soul.
When that time comes.
She would be the sharpest and most obedient sword in his hand.
Even more useful than that actual sword.
Because she was water.
Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it.
And even more... nourish things silently.
Su Ye composed himself, his expression returning to that of a benevolent healer.
He walked slowly to the bedside. The silver needle in his hand vibrated slightly, emitting a clear, resonant hum.
"Waner, bear with it."
"The first needle might hurt a little."
Before the words had even faded.
Su Ye's wrist suddenly flicked.
Swish!
That three-inch-long silver needle turned into a streak of light and accurately pierced the [Dazhui Acupoint] at the back of Lin Waner's neck.
"Ah!"
Lin Waner couldn't help but let out a soft cry.
Her body suddenly tensed up.
In that instant, she felt as if a red-hot branding iron had pierced her body, followed immediately by a bone-chilling cold that instantly spread through her entire body along her spine.
A world of ice and fire.
"Relax."
Su Ye's voice rang out at the right time, carrying a power that calmed the heart.
His left hand pressed against Lin Waner's smooth back, and a gentle, mellow Spiritual Qi slowly flowed in, guiding the energy from the silver needle.
"Don't resist. Follow my Spiritual Qi."
"Imagine yourself as a river; right now, the riverbed is being widened."
Lin Waner gritted her teeth, enduring the soreness, numbness, and swelling pain.
She obediently relaxed her body, letting Su Ye do as he pleased.
As Su Ye's Spiritual Qi flowed in, the sharp pain quickly faded.
In its place was an unprecedented tingling sensation.
It felt as if countless ants were crawling in the gaps of her bones—itchy, numb, yet irresistibly addictive.
"Mmm..."
Lin Waner couldn't help but let out a sweet nasal sound.
This feeling was too strange.
So strange that she wanted to curl up, yet she was fixed in place by that silver needle, unable to move.
"Can't take it already?"
Su Ye chuckled, his hands not stopping.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Three more silver needles fell.
Piercing the three major Acupoints: [Zhiyang], [Lingtai], and [Shendao].
With every needle that fell, Lin Waner's delicate body would tremble slightly.
If the first needle was breaking the ice.
Then these three needles were for drainage.
The miscellaneous Spiritual Qi that had been accumulated throughout Lin Waner's body rushed toward these Acupoints like a flood that had found an outlet.
"So hot..."
At this moment, Lin Waner felt as if there were a fire burning inside her.
That was the heat generated by the Spiritual Qi circulating at high speed.
Her skin turned an alluring shade of pink, and fine beads of sweat slid down her back, wetting the brocade quilt beneath her.
"It's supposed to be hot."
Su Ye's expression was focused at this moment, and sweat faintly appeared on his forehead.
This set of [Taiyi Divine Needles] not only tested the practitioner's technique but also extremely consumed Divine Sense.
He had to precisely control the flow of every strand of Spiritual Qi, needing to break through the Acupoints without damaging Lin Waner's Foundation.
This was only possible because it was Su Ye.
Possessing the Supreme Bone, his Divine Sense far exceeded that of Cultivators in the same Realm.
For an ordinary Golden Core Stage Cultivator, Lin Waner would likely have suffered Qi Deviation with just the first needle.
"The final three needles."
"The critical moment has arrived."
Su Ye took a deep breath, his gaze suddenly becoming sharp.
This time, the silver needles in his hand were not aimed at the back.
But rather... the [Mingmen] at the back of the waist.
As well as the [Shenshu] on both the left and right sides.
These three points were the source of the human body's essence and Qi, and also where the Origin of the Primal Water Body resided.
"It might be a bit intense."
Su Ye gave a low-voiced reminder.
Then.
His hand rose, and the needles fell!
There was no sound of skin being pierced.
Because this time, Su Ye used soft force.
The three silver needles seemed to melt into water, silently sinking into Lin Waner's body.
The next moment.
Boom!!!
Lin Waner felt a thunderous explosion in her mind.
An indescribable, massive torrent erupted from her waist instantly, rushing straight to the crown of her head!
That was not just an explosion of Spiritual Qi.
It was also a tremor from the depths of her Soul.
It was like a volcano suppressed for a thousand years finally erupting; or like a river trapped behind a dam finally bursting through.
That feeling.
Tingling, transparent, and extreme!
"Ah—!!!"
Lin Waner could no longer control herself; she threw her head back and let out a high-pitched scream.
The sound echoed within Lingyun Cave, lingering for a long time.
It even carried a hint of a sob.
Her body arched violently like a dying shrimp, her ten fingers clutching the brocade quilt beneath her tightly, her knuckles turning white and veins bulging.
It was... too intense!
This was simply not a pleasure a human could endure!
Senior Brother... Senior Brother is really... too good at this!
At that moment.
Lin Waner felt as if her Soul had undergone Soul Emergence, floating in mid-air, watching her own body tremble from excessive excitement.
At the same time.
The System notification sounds in Su Ye's mind rang out like popping beans.
" bite! The Host has performed Divine-Grade Acupuncture, successfully opening Lin Waner's Ren and Du Meridians."
" bite! Lin Waner has experienced unprecedented pleasure; her body and mind have completely surrendered."
" bite! Lin Waner's favorability toward the Host has broken through the critical threshold, upgrading from [Adoration] to [Unswerving Until Death]."
" bite! The stagnant Spiritual Qi in Lin Waner's body has exploded, the Primal Water Body has preliminarily awakened, and her cultivation is breaking through!"
Listening to this series of pleasant notifications, a satisfied curve formed at the corner of Su Ye's mouth.
He did not stop.
Instead, at the moment Lin Waner reached her Peak, he slammed both palms onto the center of her back.
"Focus your mind, calm your Qi, and guard the One!"
"If you don't break through now, then when?!"
Su Ye's light shout was like a twilight drum or morning bell, instantly pulling Lin Waner's scattered consciousness back.
Although Lin Waner was limp and had no strength at all right now.
She knew that this opportunity could not be missed.
Enduring the lingering numbness, she followed Su Ye's guidance and frantically circulated the "Ruoshui Art."
Crash—
Within Lingyun Cave, the sound of tides actually rang out from thin air.
Countless strands of pale blue water Spiritual Qi gathered from all directions, forming a massive vortex above Lin Waner.
Seeing this, Su Ye waved his large sleeve.
Dozens of High-Grade Spirit Stones flew out, instantly shattering into a thick spiritual mist that was swallowed in one gulp by the vortex.
"Break for me!"
Following Lin Waner's delicate shout.
A certain membrane within her body shattered at the sound.
Boom!
A powerful Aura erupted from her body.
Foundation Establishment Seventh Heaven!
Foundation Establishment Eighth Heaven!
Her Aura soared all the way until it barely stopped at the Foundation Establishment Eighth Heaven Peak.
Two consecutive Breakthroughs!
Furthermore, her Foundation was incredibly solid, without the slightest sign of instability.
"Whew..."
Everything settled down.
Lin Waner lay limp on the Cloud Bed like a puddle of mud, her entire body looking as if she had been fished out of water.
But on her face hung an incomparably satisfied and happy smile.
That feeling.
Was like just having experienced a most hearty and dripping battle.
Every pore was cheering with joy.
It was too comfortable.
It was really too comfortable.
If Cultivating could always be this comfortable, she would be willing to be pricked by Senior Brother every day!
"Se... Senior Brother..."
Lin Waner turned her head with effort, looking at Su Ye who was unhurriedly putting away the silver needles; her gaze was lingering, filled with Adoration and infatuation.
"How is it? How does it feel?"
Su Ye asked with a half-smile as he wiped the silver needles.
"It's... it's wonderful."
Lin Waner blushed, her voice as small as a mosquito's hum:
"Waner has never been this comfortable before."
"Thank you, Senior Brother..."
"This was all given to Waner by Senior Brother..."
Speaking of this, she seemed to think of something and struggled to climb up, but because her waist was sore and her legs were weak, she fell directly into a warm embrace.
Su Ye caught her as she fell.
To the touch, she was warm and smooth as butter.
"Since you're comfortable, then rest well."
"Tonight, sleep here."
Su Ye placed her back on the bed and considerately helped her cover up with the brocade quilt.
This gesture moved Lin Waner to tears.
Senior Brother not only helped me break through but also let me stay overnight in Lingyun Cave!
Is this the treatment of the primary wife?
What can that Lin Qianxue, who only knows how to gnaw on cold chicken legs, use to compete with me?
" bite! Detected that Lin Waner has generated a strong sense of superiority and belonging, villain points +1000."
" bite! Congratulations to the Host for successfully cultivating Lin Waner into a [Loyal Cauldron]; future Dual Cultivation effects will be doubled."
Listening to the System's rewards, the smile on Su Ye's face became even gentler.
He reached out and lightly scraped Lin Waner's upturned nose.
"Sleep."
"Tomorrow, Senior Brother will teach you that Water Control Art."
"Today's needle technique was just to lay a Foundation for you."
Lin Waner's eyelids were fighting to stay open from sleepiness.
After that extreme release came a deep exhaustion.
She snuggled in Su Ye's embrace, finding a comfortable position like a little kitten.
"Mhm... Senior Brother... is the best..."
Before long, the sound of even breathing rang out.
Su Ye looked at the sleeping Lin Waner; the warmth in his eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by a bottomless, ghostly chill.
He slowly stood up.
He walked to the entrance of the Immortal Cave and stood with his hands behind his back.
Looking through the Restriction at the pitch-black night sky outside.
"One water, one ice."
"They certainly complement each other."
Su Ye muttered to himself.
At this moment, Lin Waner's Meridians had been completely washed over by his Devilish Qi.
Although nothing seemed unusual on the surface and her cultivation had even greatly advanced.
But in reality.
Every drop of spiritual power in her body had been branded by Su Ye.
With just a thought from Su Ye, she would become the most obedient Puppet.
Perhaps one day in the future, when Su Ye needs to charge toward a higher Realm.
This Primal Water Body of hers will be the best nourishment.
"This is what they call... keeping the fertile water within one's own field."
A self-mocking sneer appeared at the corner of Su Ye's mouth.
Then.
His gaze turned toward the other side of Purple Bamboo Peak.
That was the direction of Tingxue Courtyard.
"I wonder what surprise that stubborn little Junior Sister will have for me tonight?"
"I hope... she won't disappoint me."
Su Ye turned around, went back to the jade table, and picked up the unfinished ancient book.
Under the candlelight.
His shadow was stretched very, very long.
Like a Vicious Beast waiting to devour someone, he lay in wait in the darkness, quietly waiting for his prey to mature.
And on the bed.
Lin Waner rolled over, a sweet smile still hanging on her lips; in her dream, she seemed to still be reminiscing about the charm of that needle.
Completely unaware.
That she had completely become an inescapable pawn on this gentle Senior Brother's chessboard.
