It had to be said that Yuan Bubai's subordinates were highly efficient.
Yuan Bubai had set a time limit of two minutes, but his four subordinates managed to bring up a young girl, around sixteen or seventeen years old, dressed in a purple Miao ethnic costume adorned with numerous purple bells, in just one and a half minutes.
Everyone only saw that the young girl in the purple Miao costume had her eyes tightly shut and her face as pale as paper, clearly showing that she had stopped breathing.
"Xiao Lingdang."
Upon seeing the young girl in the purple Miao costume in such a state, Can Dao stepped forward, embraced her, and called out.
However, to Can Dao's calls, the young girl in the purple Miao costume remained motionless, unable to respond in any way.
"Dead... she's dead?"
When Can Dao reached out to check the pulse of the young girl in the purple Miao costume, he was startled and recoiled in horror.
The pulse of the young girl in the purple Miao costume had stopped beating; she was undeniably dead.
Can Dao could not accept this outcome, his face contorted with pain and anger, making it look ferocious and terrifying.
"No—"
Just as Can Dao finished speaking, Shen Lang, who had been standing by, suddenly spoke up, "Although her pulse has stopped beating, her heart has not completely stopped. Although it's very slow and weak, she can still be saved."
"What?"
Upon hearing Shen Lang's words, Can Dao was greatly alarmed and asked, "You mean... my sister can still be saved?"
Shen Lang replied, "Yes, she can be saved. However, very few people in this world can save her, only two people in total."
"Who are the two people?"
Can Dao, who had been despairing and his heart turned to ash, immediately rekindled his hope upon hearing Shen Lang's words. He said, "Tell me who can save her, and I will remember this kindness for a lifetime. From now on, if you ever need anything, I will go through fire and water without hesitation."
"Alright—"
Hearing Can Dao's words, Shen Lang said, "I will tell you now. The first person in this world who can save her from death is my master. However, your sister will completely stop beating within a minute at most, and my master is a thousand miles away in Qiulong Mountain."
"Who is the second person?"
Upon hearing Shen Lang's words, Can Dao immediately realized that the first person was not an option and asked.
"Far away, yet close at hand."
Shen Lang looked at Can Dao and said faintly, "My medical skills are far inferior to my master's, but they are sufficient to save your sister."
"Shen Lang, as long as you can save my sister, I will guarantee your safety for ten years."
Can Dao uttered these words.
Can Dao spoke slowly, but every word was spoken with great seriousness, as if he had contemplated them a thousand times before speaking.
"Deal—"
Hearing this, Shen Lang smiled faintly, then walked over to the young girl in the Miao costume, picked up the Taiyi Divine Needles, and thrust them towards the girl's heart.
With this needle, Shen Lang activated the "Sheng Zi Jue" (Life Character Skill) within the Taiyi Divine Needles.
The "Sheng Zi Jue" of the Taiyi Divine Needles emphasizes continuous vitality.
As long as the patient's heart has not completely stopped and their internal organs are intact, it can continuously supply life energy to the patient.
Among the twelve needle skills of the Taiyi Divine Needles, the "Sheng Zi Jue" is the most basic, yet its cultivation is extremely arduous.
This is because to activate the "Sheng Zi Jue" of the Taiyi Divine Needles, one must cultivate the medical internal energy technique, the "Chang Sheng Jue" (Longevity Skill), to the fourth level.
The "Sheng Zi Jue" was the first of the twelve needle skills of the Taiyi Divine Needles that he learned after descending the mountain, and this was his first time using it.
"Swish—"
As the golden needle pierced the heart of the young girl in the purple Miao costume, a continuous stream of life energy was delivered into her body by Shen Lang.
In less than two minutes, the young girl in the purple Miao costume's pulse began to appear, and her heart rate accelerated.
And after five minutes, the young girl in the purple Miao costume's pulse and heartbeat both returned to normal.
Although she had not woken up, Can Dao and everyone present could feel the vitality radiating from her.
"What?"
Sensing the change in his sister, Can Dao was shocked, looking at Shen Lang with incredulity.
After martial artists entered the Earth Realm, their hearing, smell, and perception were greatly enhanced. Just moments ago, he had clearly felt his sister's heartbeat and pulse about to stop.
And in less than two minutes, his sister had undergone such a change, how could he not be astonished.
Shen Lang's medical skills were simply unfathomable.
"Shen Lang, I clearly felt her pulse and heartbeat recover, but why hasn't she woken up yet?"
After the shock, Can Dao suddenly discovered a problem and asked.
"A recovered heartbeat and pulse only ensure that she won't die. However, her temple suffered a severe impact, a blunt force trauma, leading to a significant accumulation of blood clots within her skull. If these blood clots cannot be cleared, she will not die but will become a vegetative state."
Shen Lang said faintly.
However, just as Can Dao was about to speak, Shen Lang continued, "Don't worry, we take things step by step. Saving a person also requires a step-by-step approach. Since I said I would save her, I won't let her live as a vegetable."
With that, Shen Lang pulled out the Taiyi Divine Needle inserted into the young girl's heart. The moment he held it in his hand, he activated the "Hua Zi Jue" (Dissolution Character Skill) within the Taiyi Divine Needles.
The "Hua Zi Jue," besides dissolving toxins in the human body, can also dissolve impurities within the body, including blood clots in the brain.
"Pfft—"
As the Taiyi Divine Needle pierced the young girl's head, her face showed pain. After enduring it for another two minutes, she suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood.
However, at the same moment she spat out the black blood, the young girl's eyes slowly opened.
"Xiao Lingdang, you're awake?"
Seeing the young girl in the purple Miao costume awake, Can Dao was overjoyed and cried out.
"Ah, Brother, why are you here?"
The young girl in the purple Miao costume had a naive and innocent face, as delicate and beautiful as porcelain. She called out to Can Dao.
After speaking, she looked at Zhang Feng, who was lying on the ground groaning from his injuries, and with a wronged expression, said to Can Dao, "He sent people to catch me, and then they wanted to force me to undress. I refused, so they pushed me down, and I hit the table. He's a bad person."
"It's okay, it's okay now. With me here, no one will be able to hurt you."
Can Dao repeatedly comforted his awakened sister.
"Shen Lang, thank you."
After comforting his sister, Can Dao looked at Shen Lang with a grateful expression.
"No need to thank me. This was just a very fair transaction."
Shen Lang raised his right hand, drawing the golden needle back into his hand, and said, then walked towards Yuan Bubai and said, "Excuse me, I was delayed for a moment. Now, let's continue settling our accounts."
"Yuan Bubai, you captured my girlfriend and her future sister-in-law here, almost letting them be violated. You won't think it's unfair that I want to kill you, will you?"
"What?"
Hearing Shen Lang's words, Yuan Bubai was greatly alarmed and said, "You dare to kill me?"
