Year 1022 of the Zhang Dynasty - Secondary Sects Section - Xiao family acupuncture shop
(Xiao Qianxun POV)
I am Xiao Qianxun, the first miss of the Xiao family.
“Today you will begin to learn the family trade“ Xiao Qian Chou
“Yes, father“ Xiao Qianxun
Today is my fifteenth birthday and that means I will finally start learning Acupuncture.
“The first step of every acupuncture user is to make your spirit energy resonate with the patient“ Xiao Qian Chou
“Resonate?“ Xiao Qianxun
“Yes, the acupuncture can cure almost all afflictions by stimulating the spirit energy in their bodies “ Xiao Qian Chou
“Even wounds?“ Xiao Qianxun
“Technically, it can accelerate the natural recovery but it is more efficient to use pills for that“
So that is why most of the people that comes to the shop are poisoned or something similar.
“Now I will teach you the position of the pressure points used for each afflictions“ Xiao Qian Chou
I cant wait to start doing it myself.
------------------------
Year 1024 of the Zhang Dynasty - Secondary Sects Section - Xiao family acupuncture shop
Two years have passed since I started learning acupuncture and my father says that I have a talent for it.
“You are almost as good as I am, it is time for you to treat patients by yourself“ Xiao Qian Chou
Yes! at last I can be called an acupuncture user.
“I won't let you down father“ Xiao Qianxun
“Always remember that the Xiao family name is at stake with everything you do“ Xiao Qian Chou
“Yes!“ Xiao Qianxun
Be ready world, here I come.
......
...
Two months after starting treating patients...
I hear loud voices outside the acupuncture shop.
“SEARCH FOR HIM!“
“DON'T LET HIM ESCAPE!“
What is happening? I open the door a little.
“Haah...haaaah...“ man
An unknown man was barely breathing in the ground in front of the shop.
“Help...me“ man
His face was very handsome... lets help him.
After I put him in a bed inside, my silver needles do their jobs.
“Uh...“ man
He was still in wounded, but his bleeding stopped and his natural recovery was boosted.
“You will be fine now. I will leave for today, but tomorrow you will have to pay me for the treatment“ Xiao Qianxun
Leaving patients in the bed to recover wasn't something strange, I did it twice a week.
... the next day he wasn't there. I hope he has some pride and pay me back someday.
......
...
Two weeks after, Father and I were outside the acupuncture shop as a carriage from the Joo family came into sight.
“The second son of the Joo family, Joo Zhao, demands to meet the acupuncture miss that manages this establishment“
A spokesperson of the family said that.
“I am Xiao Qianxun, the female acupuncture user of this shop“
As I say that, a the good looking man comes out of the carriage.
“I came to pay you for the treatment“ Joo Zhao
He did all this noise just for 200 spirit coins?
“By nominating you as a marriage partner“ Joo Zhao
“Whatt!??“ Xiao Qianxun
Was he serious?
“Hoho, so you will pay for leaving this acupuncture shop with only one acupuncture user?“ Xiao Qian Chou
As always father is more interested in money that in everything else.
“Of course, the spiritual cards will be delivered after“ Joo Zhao
My sister was already in training so his answer was obvious.
“Then, the Xiao family accepts your proposal“ Xiao Qian Chou
And like that my life as in the Joo family started.
------------------------
Year 1025 of the Zhang Dynasty - Secondary Sects Section - Joo Zhao mansion
In this year there were various events. Like being insulted and denigrated by other candidates, being kidnapped and more.
But together with Joo Zhao we got through it all and now we are married.
“You only need to follow me and everything will always work“ Joo Zhao
“Yes, Joo Zhao“ Joo Qianxun
It does not matter what there is in the future, our love will conquer it.
------------------------
Year 1029 of the Zhang Dynasty - Secondary Sects Section - Joo Zhao mansion
Joo Zhao started to come home with concubines.
“Why are you doing this?! Is it because I not young enough for you, is it because I can't give you a child or there is another reason?“ Joo Qianxun
“Calm down Joo Qianxun, this is just a carnal release. My love is still with you“ Joo Zhao
“What kind of love is this?! I only saw you once in the last month!“ Joo Qianxun
“Haaah, yes I will come more often“ Joo Zhao
After answering with an uninterested tone he went to his room with the concubines.
Is this what love is to him? seeing me sometimes in his free time?
What happened to us?
Was it love what we felt or it was just the desire for adventure?
...
I know the answer, but I can't accept it.
------------------------
Year 1037 of the Zhang Dynasty - Secondary Sects Section - Joo Zhao mansion
How did we reach to this.
This year I got Pregnant, this gave me a little of hope of regaining our love but...
“This will be the last time Joo Qianxun, give me that waste“ Joo Zhao
I was still weak from giving birth, but even so, the life in my arms was firmly secured.
“Even if she doesn't have a Dantian, she is still our baby!“
A Commoner born in the Secondary Sects Section that was the most humiliating thing for a cultivator.
“If that is what you want, then die with it“ Joo Zhao
This is a breaking point, I will not leave him take her life.
“Spirit Rabbit Form!“ Joo Qianxun
I kick his face and jump off from a window with my Spirit form.
"GRAB HER, DON'T LET THAT THING ALIVE!" Joo Zhao
That thing, that is what Joo Fei means to him.
"Whhhahhh" Joo Fei
"Don't worry little Fei, mommy is here" Joo Qianxun
How far can I reach before they catch me....
NO!
I will escape, there is no other destiny than that.
I WILL DO IT!
......
...
The guards surround me as their spears are aimed at me.
"That is as far as you will reach" Joo Zhao
I am in the commercial section... my Spirit form leaves my body at the same time that I fall with my back on the ground, it was already a miracle that I could use it in my condition.
"You...monster..." Joo Qianxun
"Give me that" Joo Zhao
He takes my baby from my weak arms.
"Whhhaaaaaaahhh" Joo Fei
"Little Fei!!!" Joo Qianxun
"With this my pride will be recovered" Joo Zhao
He grabbed the baby with his left hand and lifted his right arm preparing to chop her in half.
"NOOOOO!!!" Joo Qianxun
Blood flew through the air.
...
"Whahh, whaaaah" Joo Fei
But it wasn't her blood.
"ARGGHHHHH!" Joo Zhao
The right arm of Joo Zhao lay in the ground, and a man with some white hairs in his long hair appeared holding Joo Fei in his left arm.
"HOW YOU DARE YOU T..." Joo Zhao
Before that sentence could end, he disappeared. Just like that.
"The baby is safe" man
Not only Joo Zhao, but every guard disappeared too. This person saved little Fei.
"...Thanks..." Joo Qianxun
I used every energy on me to escape, my life is abandoning me. But this is fine.
Little Fei I hope you can Live a long life.

this book has an interesting premise and i understand that you want to introduce characters that will most likely be important in the future but to be honest you made way too much of those chapters it is getting extremely boring especially since a single gold rank cultivator can destroy the so called holy land in a few hours and there is definetly higher ranked cultivator :/ you should really go back to the MC because in the end we know nothing of this so called holy land he made it without explanation et whatever he is doing we have no idea so it is very difficult to feel invested in this story as of now . Mystery is nice and all but too much of it and it become tedious and boring so please go back to writing a story and not just a collection of short stories about random people.......
I disagree. Also, we do not know what level MC is now. His first disciples should be at least silver level now and MC should be about gold level. Considering he made family head who was gold level back off when MC was only similar to silver rank I highly doubt some gold level cultivator can do anything to the holy land. Maybe Jade level would stand a chance.
@sabazurc that's a lot of assumptions you're making, especially seeing as the only gold cultivator we've seen was just grade 2 of 9 and from some random sect in an alchemy town. What about a grade 9 from that strongest city of the Western continent that was mentioned a few chapters ago?
And if the MC has just been wandering around town occasionally saving over person every few weeks or months, that's hardly going to increase his level much. More than spending that time hunting spiritual beats, sure, but still shouldn't be enough growth to take a peak gold cultivator or higher.
@Ultrabenosaurus He has been leveling up too obviously. And considering later chapters, my assumptions were right.
how many of these are you going to add?
