The match between Shen Han and Tang Chenyang ended quite some time ago.
However, the rumors stirred up by that match have essentially not ceased.
Initially, Shen Han was lauded, while Tang Chenyang and Qianmu Fan, both genius disciples, were ridiculed by the surrounding crowd.
At first, many people believed that Shen Han and Tang Chenyang were of similar age.
During the match, Shen Han managed to defeat Tang Chenyang without much effort.
Thus, Shen Han’s talent was certainly not inferior to Tang Chenyang’s.
Everyone thought Shen Han was also a genius who had unlocked the Seven Paths of binding.
As a result, it didn’t take long for the news to spread that Shen Han cultivated using the Old Method.
Later on, despite practicing the Old Method, Shen Han was still valued and was taken in by Elder Sizhi as a direct disciple.
At this point, the people of Five Immortals City thought it was over.
Unexpectedly, only half a month after Shen Han became a direct disciple, his title was directly removed...
Regarding Shen Han, the matter was tossed back and forth, leaving everyone bewildered...
Now with Shen Han’s direct disciple title removed, people can also see.
The top brass at Five Immortals City are somewhat regretting.
The external evaluation of Five Immortals City has not been very good recently.
The biggest reason is Tang Chenyang’s departure and Tang Chenyang’s experience.
Which has somewhat tarnished the reputation of Five Immortals City outside.
After all, Tang Chenyang is also a rather well-known disciple, and many people listen to his slandering of Five Immortals City.
The core strength of the sect essentially depends on that group of top elders and disciples.
Problems arose in handling Tang Chenyang’s matter, thus causing trouble affecting the entire sect.
These troubles will affect Five Immortals City in further recruiting talented disciples.
The Vice Sect Leader came personally due to worries about these matters.
With the news of Shen Han’s direct disciple title removed, rumors from the outside added more content.
Saying Five Immortals City regretted it, and would be more cautious in treating genius disciples in the future.
Furthermore, the grievances on Qianmu Fan’s side finally reduced a bit.
Within Five Immortals City, most people began to treat Shen Han as a joke again.
After the ups and downs, things returned to the way they were.
And after that day, Shen Han also started pondering some matters in his heart.
Especially concerning the issue of genius disciples.
In his interactions with Elder Sizhi, he felt pretty good.
Particularly when his position was weak, Elder Sizhi could still lean slightly toward him.
At least in terms of character, it passed the test.
Thinking of this, Shen Han tried to think if he could push Song Xiaobing and Song Xiaodie forward.
The two sisters, one has unlocked the Five Paths, and one has unlocked the Six Paths.
They are still a step away from the top-tier talents needed by Elder Sizhi and others.
But, the Nine Needle Technique in his hand might work.
Thinking of this, Shen Han pondered in his mind.
The Nine Needle Technique, further unbinding the physical constraints, had its difficulties increasingly rising.
If the Acupuncture Technique is not exquisite enough, it might have significant side effects.
Thinking a bit more, Shen Han took some free time and went to the courtyard of the Song Xiaodie sisters.
Upon arrival, the courtyard was empty, so Shen Han waited for a while.
Just before 5:00 PM, the two returned.
Seeing Shen Han, the sisters hurried to open the courtyard gate, inviting Shen Han in to have a seat.
"Xiaobing and I went to attend lectures from the elders, and returned a bit late...
Senior Brother Shen, you waited a long time..."
Song Xiaodie showed some embarrassment on her face, regretting the wait.
"My sudden visit is my own fault."
Shen Han smiled, naturally sitting down in the courtyard.
Each visit to the sisters’ small courtyard brought a sense of relaxation and comfort.
Song Xiaobing seemed to have matured a lot, pressing her sister onto a chair.
Letting her sister accompany Shen Han.
She instead went to prepare a meal.
"There’s word outside that your direct disciple title was taken away..."
Song Xiaodie brought up this widely spread matter naturally.
Upon hearing, Shen Han nodded.
"The direct disciple title and benefits were all retracted.
But they let me continue living in that courtyard.
To me, it doesn’t really have any impact.
I’ve always practiced the Old Cultivation Method, those classics only accessible to direct disciples have no significance to me."
Shen Han explained softly.
In summer, the breeze was pleasant.
Especially every day as dusk approaches, the warm light breeze brushing against the skin felt quite comfortable.
Song Xiaodie sat on one side, feeling the breeze, observing Shen Han attentively.
Initially meeting Shen Han, Song Xiaodie thought he was a deceitful pretty boy.
Worried that her younger sister might be deceived.
But after becoming acquainted over this period, in contact.
She knew that her initial perception was wrong.
Now, her understanding of Shen Han naturally changed.
Only when asked to describe Shen Han, she seemed to run out of words.
"Tang Chenyang went to Qianjin Hall and holds quite some grievances against you.
He spoke many harsh words outwardly.
In the future, he is likely to cause you trouble..."
Song Xiaodie from occasional conversations with fellow disciples also heard quite a bit of news.
"Rumors came from Qianmu Fan’s side as well, saying he will seek opportunities to challenge Senior Brother Shen again.
He claims within a maximum of three years, he will surpass Senior Brother Shen..."
Listening to this, Shen Han simply smiled and didn’t pay much attention to it.
They didn’t mistake that Old Cultivation Method, but they mistook me.
Others may take decades to make a step forward, but that doesn’t mean I will be the same.
"Don’t worry about them. I have confidence in self-preservation.
By the way, you two sisters have been quite diligent in cultivation lately. Any gains?"
Speaking of this, Song Xiaodie showed an expression of relief.
"On the path of cultivation, talent is indeed very important.
In less than two months, Xiaobing has advanced one level in her Realm strength.
Now, after unbinding the Six Path, her cultivation has become much easier.
The efforts have been rewarded, and her enthusiasm for cultivation has increased significantly.
Thanks to that senior, without the opportunity given by him, Xiaobing wouldn’t have her current achievements."
Hearing this, Shen Han paused slightly and looked at Song Xiaodie.
"What if I said the opportunity has come again? Would you still want it?
But that senior said that the Acupuncture Technique comes with risks, possibly..."
Shen Han looked at Song Xiaodie, his face serious.
He hadn’t finished speaking when Song Xiaodie nodded quickly.
"Both Xiaobing and I absolutely want it, such an opportunity is hard to come by, what’s danger compared to opportunity.
Besides, which step in cultivation training doesn’t involve risk?"
Shen Han was serious, but Song Xiaodie seemed a bit excited.
"This time the opportunity, is the senior willing to share a bit with me...?"
In her excitement, Song Xiaodie couldn’t help but ask cautiously.
"The senior’s meaning is, as long as you two sisters are not afraid of the risks, you can naturally try."
"And when is it, now?"
Seeing her eager look, Shen Han couldn’t help but laugh.
"After nightfall, Xiaobing and the senior know, at their old meeting place.
By then, you will go one after another; you cannot meet the senior together."
Hearing this, Song Xiaodie nodded excitedly repeatedly.
Then she got up from the chair, ready to help her sister.
"Senior Brother Shen, you rest for a moment, I’ll go help Xiaobing.
Let’s make it quick, so as not to delay."
Without waiting for Shen Han’s reply, Song Xiaodie ran into the kitchen.
Soon, a shout came from the kitchen: "Really? Sister!"
Shen Han sat in the courtyard, yet could imagine how delighted the two were.
Joy seems infectious, hearing their excited tones made his mood seem a bit excited too.
In less than a quarter of an hour, several dishes were served.
"Was a bit rushed, just some simple things..."
Song Xiaodie said with some embarrassment.
Shen Han brought her the opportunity, yet things felt so hastily put together.
But she was genuinely too excited, worried the opportunity might be missed if delayed...
Shen Han smiled, he wasn’t picky, as long as he could eat and fill his stomach.
The sky was already darkening.
Shen Han felt he shouldn’t have mentioned such a vague two-hour period before.
Before, he said after nightfall.
So seeing the sky darken, Song Xiaodie’s excitement...
Shen Han could see her chest rising and falling.
But looking like this felt somewhat strange, feeling uneasy, Shen Han quickly averted his gaze.
And Song Xiaodie seemed to notice her state, gently pressed her chest with her hand.
"In a bit, you go by yourselves. I’ll head back first. If that senior comes looking for me again, I’ll inform you of any matters."
While speaking, Shen Han handed out a Sound Transmission Jade.
If not conversing using the Sound Transmission Jade, sometimes it’s really hard to find each other.
After leaving the sisters’ courtyard, Shen Han put on that outfit.
The Nine Needle Technique: One needle for skin, two needles for flesh, three needles for veins, four needles for tendons, five needles for bones, six needles for adjusting yin and yang, seven needles for nourishing essence, eight needles for dispelling wind, nine needles for opening the nine apertures.
This time, Shen Han wanted to attempt to unbind the eighth Path for both.
Left behind was Tang Chenyang, who had unbound seven Paths.
If possible, there will still be two geniuses in the Five Immortals City who unbound eight Paths.
From the current perspective, Shen Han didn’t find it particularly difficult.
But now, he had indeed only tried to unbind up to the sixth Path.
Shen Han slightly regained focus, trying to concentrate as much as possible.
If his Acupuncture Technique becomes fully proficient, he’ll head back to Great Wei when free.
This new Cultivation System should let Madam Yun and others try.
For those who haven’t cultivated any Cultivation Technique, it could be a taste of this new Cultivation System.
At least, it also has the effect of prolonging life.
9:00 PM.
When Shen Han arrived at the appointed location, Song Xiaobing was already waiting there.
With Shen Han’s help with the Acupuncture Technique, Song Xiaobing had already unbound the sixth Path.
Having previous experience, she naturally wasn’t as tense.
Seeing Shen Han come with a mask, she respectfully saluted.
Then waited for Shen Han’s arrangements.
The seventh Path lies in the surface of teeth.
This is the delicate part of people, the needle used is also a micro needle.
Several bright candles were lit around.
This place was originally in the suburbs, besides the summer insects’ chirping, occasionally there was the rustling sound of the wind.
Song Xiaobing lay down, Shen Han instructed her not to move, so she didn’t move a bit.
Her ears listening to the chirping of insects.
Previously it felt annoying, but today listening felt like the insect’s chirping was as lovely as singing.
