Chapter 255: Chapter 255: Sealing the Acupoints to Force Out Evil_1
Whether Lin Shutong believed in Xu Fan or not was irrelevant at this point, as Xu Fan had already begun the process of treating Elder Sun.
Xu Fan’s right hand, shaped like a sword, hovered slowly in front of Elder Sun’s chest and abdomen for a while, and then, a flame interlaced with blue and purple suddenly emerged from his fingertips.
“Is this… Could it be… the legendary Purple-Green Divine Flame?” Elder Lin’s heart shook with tremors upon seeing the flame that emerged from Xu Fan’s fingertips.
Previously, at Zhi Shen Tang, Xu Fan had already shown him the Dan Fire that sprang from his hands, which were only used when refining low-level elixirs.
The flame now coming from Xu Fan’s fingertips was the real Samadhi True Fire, a divine fire used to refine high-level Elixirs. However, because Xu Fan was only at the Qi Cultivation Stage, he couldn’t use it for extended periods. Yet, this flame had a particularly strong deterrent effect on the Evil Deity Ghost Master, so generally, as long as Xu Fan unleashed the Samadhi True Fire, he could essentially achieve victory over the enemy spirits without a fight.
In Xu Fan’s past life, he owned fire attribute mythical beasts such as the Vermilion Bird and Kylin, and among the many kinds of strange fires he possessed, the Samadhi True Fire was hardly his ultimate skill.
However, to the likes of Lin Yaoshi and Sun Lihua, mere mortals, Xu Fan’s abilities were no longer human but akin to the immortal high sages found in myths.
The two were now thoroughly convinced of Xu Fan’s ability to cure Elder Sun’s illness.
Only the adjacent Lin Shutong was still trying hard to keep her eyes wide open, searching for flaws on Xu Fan’s person.
She evidently mistook Xu Fan’s actions for those of a magician and thus sought on his body for a non-existent lighter.
But the outcome was destined to disappoint Lin Shutong. After the flame in Xu Fan’s hand rose, Elder Sun, who had been motionless in bed, suddenly began convulsing uncontrollably, as if he were ill.
When Xu Fan threatened the three grudging spirits at home to explore the inside of the Jade Pendant or intimidated the young Prince to become the Jade Amulet Guardian Spirit, he was only facing their spirits, so he could easily release the flames in his hand—if they burned to death, it was all the same.
However, now Xu Fan was saving someone, and the evil spirit was hiding within Elder Sun’s body, so Xu Fan couldn’t directly use the Samadhi True Fire to scare the evil spirit inside Elder Sun; a fire thrown on him would not only kill the evil spirit but also turn Elder Sun lying here into a small box of ashes.
Since Xu Fan intended to save a life, he first had to force the evil spirit out of Elder Sun’s body.
Seeing Elder Sun’s convulsions, Xu Fan knew that the evil spirit within him, upon seeing the Samadhi True Fire, had already begun to fear.
Immediately, with the fingers of his left hand, Xu Fan gently started to tap points on Elder Sun’s body.
Starting from the Yongquan Point on the foot, his fingers moved as fast as lightning, swiftly tapping in succession.
Elder Lin, an expert in traditional Chinese medicine, was astounded by Xu Fan’s technique.
Elder Lin had studied acupuncture in his youth and was very clear about the acupoints on the human body, which was why he was so incredibly shocked at Xu Fan’s method.
Because Xu Fan’s left hand was moving from acupoint to acupoint, starting at the soles of Elder Sun’s feet and precisely targeting each one in turn.
Xu Fan’s hands were remarkably accurate in identifying the points and striking with such speed and efficiency that it left Elder Lin, who had been immersed in Chinese medicine for decades, almost breathless with admiration.
This level of skill in recognizing acupoints was something a typical Chinese medicine practitioner couldn’t achieve without at least ten years of practice.
Three seconds later, Xu Fan had almost completely hit the major acupoints on Elder Sun’s body.
His acupoint pressing was certainly useful; after being pressed by his hands, the original muscle spasms vanished immediately.
Xu Fan temporarily sealed Elder Sun’s acupoints with Spiritual Energy, creating a barrier like a bulwark at the gateways of his meridians.
The evil energy that had pervaded various parts of his body was steadily forced back to the top of his head by Xu Fan.
At this moment, Xu Fan’s sealing of the acupoints was nearing completion, with only the head left unsealed.
Now, a dense black qi emanated from Elder Sun’s face; while lying on the sickbed before, only his glabella was somewhat darkened, but to everyone in the room, it wasn’t just his forehead that was dark—his entire face was as black as the bottom of a pot, like he had a twin brother from Africa.
Even a wisp of almost indiscernible black mist was emitting from Elder Sun’s nostrils, looking like two large chimneys that had caught fire.
“Xu my friend has good skills. Indeed, there’s an intense evil energy on Old Sun,” Elder Lin sighed as he observed Elder Sun’s pitch-black complexion.
Xu Fan then slowly continued to seal the acupoints on Elder Sun’s head.
The head, unlike the rest of the body, has extremely fragile acupoints, so even Xu Fan was taking extra care, sealing each point very gently.
After sealing a few major points on the head, the black qi on Elder Sun’s face diminished substantially. However, the black qi seemed to have gathered in Elder Sun’s mouth—his rows of white teeth appeared to have turned black, and they were chattering non-stop, making one think it was the dead of winter.
Seeing that the evil energy had been forced to the last acupoint, which was inside Elder Sun’s mouth, Xu Fan extended his finger, the Samadhi True Fire flaring up once again on his hand, slowly pointing towards Elder Sun’s mouth.
“Demons and Evil Spirits, reveal yourselves!” Xu Fan called out softly, and the light from his finger flared up significantly.
“Squeak! Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!” A shrill scream emerged from Elder Sun’s mouth.
Elder Lin and Sun Lihua’s eyes flashed with surprise; that cry was not Elder Sun’s voice, but a sharp, thin female voice.
The scream was so piercing that everyone felt a sting in their eardrums, and their minds felt momentarily groggy upon hearing this sharp scream.
Accompanied by the shrill cry, a mass of black qi burst out from Elder Sun’s mouth.
This mass of black qi whirled in the air and instantly floated towards Lin Shutong.
Originally, this black qi wanted to pounce on Tongtong, but as it approached her, the pink Hello KT Jade Pendant on Tongtong suddenly exploded with an exceptionally strong energy fluctuation, directly subduing the black qi.
Since the black qi failed to attack Tongtong, it instantly changed its target in the air and viciously pounced toward Lin Shutong.
In midair, the black qi even transformed into the shape of a white skeleton, baring its silvery teeth and gnashing at Lin Shutong.
