Chapter 3005 Using Magic Power
"My cousin has never been lucid for more than twelve days in the past, but it's been half a month already!"

"Yi Shuo, have you been putting your cousin through a lot of trouble these past few days?"

"Are you even a good doctor?!"

Zhang Xuezhou opened his eyes, and what came into view was Yi Shuo's familiar face.

When their eyes met, Yi Shuo was the first to be unable to bear it and lowered her head, leaving only Rong Tianding's anxious voice.

"I'm awake!"

Zhang Xuezhou said something, and Rong Tianding finally stopped talking anxiously.

He was about to criticize Yi Shuo when two long silver needles were inserted into his mouth and throat, making it difficult for him to even move his mouth.

Rong Tianding dared to pull out the knife stuck in his body, but he really didn't have the guts to pull out the needle the doctor had inserted into his body.

He snorted twice through his nostrils, and with two needles now in his face, he couldn't snort anymore.

"Don't prick my cousin, take the needles out of my body first," Zhang Xuezhou said helplessly.

Even passively activated physical techniques are still vulnerable to sharp weapons breaking through one's defenses, not to mention that Zhang Xuezhou's current techniques do indeed have some problems.

Zhang Xuezhou didn't dare to move his body randomly at this time, and could only choose to have Yi Shuo remove the needles.

He couldn't blame Yi Shuo, after all, his physical condition was different from before, and Yi Shuo's ability to come and treat him was already a rare helper by his side.

Regardless of Yi Shuo's abilities, she was at least one of the cultivators Zhang Xuezhou was willing to contribute, and also the one with the highest cultivation level who was close to Zhang Xuezhou.

Dong Zhongshu and others had a good relationship with Zhang Xuezhou, but these people were not people Rong Tianding could find in a short time, nor could they come immediately just by calling out.

Ren Anran's suggestion that Zhang Xuezhou create a small faction makes sense, but Zhang Xuezhou really doesn't have many people around him, and it's difficult to win over others to his side.

"I feel a little pain," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"I was afraid Brother Dongfang would die, so most of the needles I used were meant to cause pain, hoping to wake him up from the pain," Yi Shuo whispered. "I'll try to pull them out as quickly as possible!"

For Zhang Xuezhou, who is still able to move, getting acupuncture is not so scary.

For mallards that can't move and can't see clearly, the experience of constantly enduring pain is not pleasant, especially with the memory of a similarly bad experience from a while ago.

Of course, just thinking about Ji Wuyan's appearance, Zhang Xuezhou would never personally take the plunge.

One by one, the silver needles were pulled out by Yi Shuo at lightning speed. Zhang Xuezhou would occasionally let out a muffled groan, which was considered a way of ending the suffering of the green-headed duck.

"Cousin, are you alright?"

After 122 silver needles were removed from his body, Zhang Xuezhou finally felt all the discomfort subside.

He glanced at Rong Tianding, who was suffering the same fate, and deliberately called out to him before Yi Shuo finally began to remove the needles from Rong Tianding's body.

However, compared to the quick removal of the silver needles from Zhang Xuezhou's body, Rong Tianding was dismissed by Yi Shuo with the excuse of "slow and steady wins the race," and Rong Tianding really didn't dare to make any rash moves or demands.

Of course, Rong Tianding couldn't say anything for the time being.

After the needles were removed, Rong Tianding entered a period of aphonia.

"The surrounding houses have been sold, and all the uncles and elders have gone to Yanglingyi to supervise the construction of the houses. Aqiao has also gone home. Now that you have nothing to do, take a couple of days to rest, so as not to damage your voice by overusing it!"

Yi Shuo gave Rong Tianding a few instructions, and Rong Tianding looked dejected.

The Corpse-Eating School is not a school of cultivation that involves swallowing pills. Pills are useful to Rong Tianding, but Rong Tianding cannot cultivate by taking large doses of pills like Zhang Xuezhou, nor can he forcefully break through his cultivation realm with the help of pills.

Entering the realm of supernatural powers does not necessarily mean achieving mastery. Zhang Xuezhou's cultivation was blocked due to issues such as realm techniques. Rong Tianding's cultivation has been getting closer and closer to Zhang Xuezhou's over the years, but he has also not achieved mastery of supernatural powers.

He used to be able to fight back against Yi Shuo, but now he's become a target; if he doesn't submit, he'll get a beating.

After thinking it over for a while, Rong Tianding swallowed his anger and finally obeyed the doctor's orders. Zhang Xuezhou wasn't surprised by this. After all, it was common for Yi Shuo and Rong Tianding to bicker and fight when they met. Yi Shuo had often been beaten into mud pits and left looking disheveled. It was rare for Yi Shuo to have a higher cultivation level at this time, so it was normal for her to bully Rong Tianding a bit.

"I finally have magic power to use!"

After the silver needles were removed from his body, Zhang Xuezhou also examined his own body.

His many acupoints are like water pipes blocked by mud and sand, with only a thin stream able to pass through, and the magic power to unseal them is only one or two out of a hundred.

Zhang Xuezhou had very little and difficulty channeling his magical power, but he was finally able to use it.

After practicing the aging technique for several days, Zhang Xuezhou touched his face and his face rapidly aged and matured. His body, which lacked control and stability, also began to grow continuously.

Donghua University hung up a portrait of Zhang Xuezhou, and Zhang Xuezhou could no longer use his original face, so he chose a more mature look.

When he touched his chin, he noticed he had grown some more beard, completely distinguishing himself from the face in the wanted poster.

"It's back to normal!"

Zhang Xuezhou stroked his beard, looking extremely satisfied.

If he didn't still need the identity of Dongfang Shuo, he would even have considered changing his name.

However, Dongfang Shuo's official position was tied to the imperial court, which couldn't be changed at will, and it also involved the binding of fate. On the other hand, as long as he carried this name, Zhang Xuezhou would have a greater or lesser chance of coming into contact with experts from various major forces.

Whether it's setting a trap to catch people or having conversations with these people after clearing up 'misunderstandings,' he may obtain information related to Donghua.

"Brother Dongfang, can your appearance change so freely?"

Zhang Xuezhou changed his appearance with a simple gesture, and his body suddenly became coordinated.

This change was like a sorcery; Rong Tianding was used to it, but Yi Shuo was clearly somewhat unaccustomed to it.

But Yi Shuo's discomfort was not shock, but rather envy.

"Can I learn your technique?" Yi Shuo said, "If my appearance could be restored to youth and fixed, I would like to stay at eighteen forever, and have children. What are you laughing at? You're laughing at me again..."

Before Zhang Xuezhou could respond, Yi Shuo had already started punching and kicking Rong Tianding, who was sneering.

Anti-aging techniques can only make you older, not younger.

Making Zhang Xuezhou look more mature and older is fine, but making Yi Shuo look eighteen again is impossible.

Zhang Xuezhou guessed that Rong Tianding was thinking the same thing, but since Rong Tianding couldn't speak, he could only express himself through facial expressions, which inevitably led to him being beaten again.

"This technique originated from Li Shaojun's trickery of changing appearances, which can make a person appear old in a short period of time," Zhang Xuezhou explained. "My youthful appearance is due to dangerous circumstances, not because of this technique. If you learn this technique, you can only become an old woman, not an eighteen-year-old!"

"Oh!"

Yi Shuo responded, immediately abandoning her wish to preserve her youthful appearance forever.

Unlike Rong Tianding, Zhang Xuezhou doesn't speak carelessly; he says what he means, and Yi Shuo doesn't need to guess whether it's true or false.

From the origin of the magic to its effects, and then to Zhang Xuezhou's explanation of the changes in his own appearance, everything was explained in just two short sentences.

"He just laughs at me all day long, he's not serious at all like Brother Dongfang..."

Zhang Xuezhou coughed twice, and Yi Shuo stopped punching and kicking Rong Tianding, then turned to ridicule him.

After Rong Tianding gestured repeatedly, Yi Shuo nodded and left the house, heading towards Zheng Wukong's residence.

"What?"

Rong Tianding's gestures to Yi Shuo were easy to understand, but Zhang Xuezhou did not understand the gestures he was making to himself.

When Rong Tianding took out the brush and ink to write, Zhang Xuezhou's expression changed slightly.
