...

At least ten kilometers away from the valley where Qin Fang and his team are, a group is camped here, with such an impeccably organized lineup that they seem extremely formidable.

Looking at the temporary defensive fortifications, though simple, the weapons and equipment placed at each key position are so powerful that even Qin Fang would be shocked to see them.

Inside a makeshift bar within the camp, a group was drinking and chatting.

"The Dragon Country people are indeed not simple. We suffered such a big loss..."

A rugged-looking white tough guy was drinking as he couldn't help but gently touch the bandaged area on his shoulder, where crimson blood was still seeping through.

"Hmph, I warned you guys, you were too careless... That man is indeed very impressive, likely a Soldier King level expert!"

The Asian-looking man sitting next to him said with a displeased expression, though he seemed to hold some admiration.

"What's the use of being an expert! He still fell for my sorcery... no one has survived it for more than three days, I bet he's lost more than half of his life now..."

Once he finished speaking, the words were immediately sneered at by another Asian-looking man, who appeared quite disdainful, seemingly proud of himself.

This man looked quite like a Southeast Asian native, visibly different from the East Asian race.

"Ruan, this time we really owe you... Otherwise, this team might have suffered losses!"

Upon hearing this Southeast Asian native, the white tough guy seemed to agree wholeheartedly.

Their conversation mentioned sorcery and the Soldier King, making it clear this team had faced Tang Cheng and his team, and that Tang Cheng falling victim to the sorcery was obviously due to the Southeast Asian native's treachery...

"Ruan, you should know Dragon Country people are far stronger than you imagine, there are countless experts among them, although your sorcery is formidable, it's not necessarily unbreakable!"

Upon hearing the Southeast Asian native speak, the previous Asian man frowned and expressed his displeasure.

Although he's not from the Dragon Country Continent, being of Chinese descent with ancestors from that magical country, he felt uncomfortable hearing such comments.

"Hmph... Sorcery is the supreme secret technique of my clan, it's not easily broken!"

His words immediately provoked disdain from the Southeast Asian native, who arrogantly boasted, almost akin to a proud Korean claiming to be the greatest.

Thud~~

As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly went blank, his body strangely stiffened, and then he directly fell onto the ground.

This camp being in the mountains, aside from trees, there were rocks, and such a sudden fall wasn't fatal, but some pain was inevitable.

"Ruan..."

Several companions were stunned by his sudden reaction, not understanding what happened, and only after a while did they react and exclaimed in surprise.

Puff~~~

It seemed as if responding to his companions' exclamations, the Southeast Asian native immediately spewed a mouthful of black blood, which instantly painted the surrounding ground with black stains, looking especially eerie.

"Doctor, doctor..."

The scene grew increasingly eerie, but as part of the same team, faced with such a situation, they immediately shouted for the camp's accompanying doctor.

"No need to look, his sorcery has been broken, resulting in backlash…"

The others were worried and tense, but the Asian man seemed to have discovered something and muttered feeling deeply moved.

"Backlash from sorcery?"

Upon hearing his mutter, the others were slightly stunned, clearly clueless about what it meant...

This is mainly because sorcery is originally extremely eerie witchcraft, apart from "Ruan", none of the others understood what it truly was.

Yet they completed many tasks with the help of sorcery, so they naturally accepted its existence...

But today's situation was so eerie, it was the first time they realized sorcery isn't omnipotent!

"The Soldier King seems to have been rescued..."

The Asian man didn't waste words; he only knew a little about sorcery because he grew up in Southeast Asia and wasn't particularly clear on it.

He had coincidentally witnessed sorcery backlash once before, so when this happened to "Ruan," he immediately understood.

Without a doubt, the only possibility that could cause Ruan's sorcery to backfire was that the Soldier King, who had fallen victim to the sorcery, was rescued by someone... Just as he had mentioned before!

"So what about him?"

Knowing some key points of the situation, the group unwillingly asked. After all, they were teammates, and although the relationships within the Mercenary Group were far less affable than those in the military, there was still some camaraderie — otherwise, effective cooperation would be challenging...

"He won't die... With bad luck, he'll face backlash and become an idiot; with good luck, maybe just cough up a bit of blood, and at most, only suffer some brain damage!"

This person had only heard bits and pieces; he wasn't too sure at this moment and just gave a broad, vague answer.

...

Qin Fang and his team were unaware of the commotion on the other side; he was currently focused on channeling Qi through acupuncture for Tang Cheng, assisting him in beginning the condensation of True Qi within his body.

A large amount of condensed Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi from the Golden Dragon Saliva surged into Tang Cheng's body, eliminating everything related to the sorcery and supporting Tang Cheng's physique.

It was as if the meridians in Tang Cheng's body were like inflated tires, instantly swelling up and forming a thin layer of edema on his skin, appearing exceptionally strange.

If he had previously cultivated Inner Strength, he could operate the mental method at this time, slowly urging the movement of the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi within the meridians, helping the body absorb and transform it for personal use...

But Tang Cheng, whose prowess reached Level 5, had never cultivated any Inner Strength; it was as if an ordinary person suddenly possessed decades of profound Inner Strength...

Such a situation isn't like those in martial arts novels where one can instantly become an elite unbeatable expert...

On the contrary, encountering such a situation often leads to one result... body explosion and death!

Observing Tang Cheng's swollen meridians gives a glimpse of what could happen.

So at this moment, someone was needed to guide this Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi...

Although this Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was immensely vast, ultimately, almost none of it would truly belong to Tang Cheng; it existed to leave behind a small seed of True Qi for him!

This True Qi seed would take root in Tang Cheng, slowly budding, blossoming, and fruiting... Only such a growth truly becomes Tang Cheng's own True Qi.

And only this completely self-owned True Qi can remain within the body... Most grand methods of instant power transfer are simply exaggerated, with truly successful cases being few and far between!

If it were genuinely successful, those patriarchs of the Martial Arts Clans could pass on decades of profound prowess via a grand transmission to their descendants before their own lives ended, ensuring the continuity of the family...

In reality, countless Martial Arts Clans have gradually vanished in the river of history, with many unable to pass down even their martial arts, let alone their bloodlines!

Using Spiritual Medicine is quite similar to the grand transmission method.

However, the True Qi of the grand transmitter resonates with the self, while transferring it to others easily causes severe rejection... leading to a failed transmission, which not only severely depletes the giver but also risks the receiver's life.

It's similar to the congruence of Five Elements within everyone; True Qi has such limitations, and the closer the Five Elements match, the higher the success rate, though still somewhat limited.

The advantage of Spiritual Medicine lies in its exemption from such resistance, inherently free of the Five Elements restriction, thus reducing internal conflict...

Although the failure rate remains high, with Qin Fang's assistance using The Nine Revival Needles to guide the True Qi, the success rate is relatively high.

One could see Qin Fang's hands moving like lightning, with the silver needles in his hands rising and falling continuously, piercing Tang Cheng's body...

Puff, puff, puff, puff~~~

At each needle hole, a faint Qi needle pierced through, originally invisible True Qi appearing almost tangible and surprisingly impressive.

This Peerless Elixir Golden Dragon Saliva is indeed domineering; even such a tiny leakage could form a Qi needle. If not for Qin Fang's prior precautions, he might have suffered losses.

Qin Fang's silver needles were merely ordinary custom-made ones, not specially crafted, but faced with such domineering Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, even with Qin Fang's True Qi reinforcement, he had to discard the blunted needle heads and replace them frequently with new ones to continue...

This seemingly easy motion was actually quite draining, as evidenced by Qin Fang's nearly sweat-drenched clothes.

"True Qi Seed..."

Fortunately, Qin Fang's efforts weren't entirely in vain; when he finally sensed that trace of existence, a slight smile appeared on his face...(To be continued.
