The Modern Immortal

Treatment

Daemon put down his Cultivator face and started by acting like a normal school kid and immediately jumped out to his rescue, "Alright, no point talking about irrelevant stuff. I'm about to begin on my acupuncture, you head on out and wait for the treatment to end and I don't want any kind of disturbance during the treatment."

Jin Ning'er was unhappy the moment she heard that Daemon wanted her out the door. She turned around, looked at the locked entrance and pouted, "I just locked it, who's going to be able to come in and disturb us?"

Daemon glared at her and said, "What if someone knocks on the door? Are you going to be held responsible if something goes wrong?"

Jin Dong smiled as he watched the two children bicker as if he was not at all nervous about the acupuncture procedure, he was slightly surprised seeing the interaction between them. He can never imagine that Daemon who killed people without batting an eye is actually bickering with his granddaughter. A sudden idea emerged in his mind but he knows it will be quite difficult for that idea to become reality.

"I mean, don't you guys need help?"

Jin Ning'er was slightly lacking in confidence after Daemon managed to scare her, but she really did not want to miss this golden opportunity.

Ultimately, being able to witness the legendary Nine Heavenly Chakra Needle Technique  was an opportunity that was hard to come by.

Of course, one of the reasons was also that she was worried about Daemon.

Treating and saving lives was serious business. It was one thing to talk about it, but another to be capable of executing successfully.

Jin Dong finally opened his mouth and lightly coughed before speaking to his granddaughter lovingly, "Little Ning, Mister Daemon is going to carry out the Nine Heavenly Chakra Needle Technique and he's definitely going to be piercing the needles into my major acupuncture points. It's inconvenient for you to be around, so I still think it's better for you to head out!"

He truly was an Old Man, getting straight to the point. If Daemon really allowed his granddaughter to watch as he, a 70-year-old old man, undressed to his underwear, what kind of situation would that be?

As expected, Jin Ning'er did not refute. "Yes, grandpa," she uttered before she scurried towards the entrance. Before she stepped out the door, she turned around to remind Daemon, "Brother Daemon, be careful when you're placing the needles on my grandpa, okay…?"

Daemon was sprawled on the table, hastily doing his last-minute preparations by absorbing the Golden Statue's spiritual energy. He heard a voice as sweet as honey calling "Brother Daemon", which almost made him lose his step and fall on the table!

I guess this Jin Ning'er really cares about her grandfather. As much as we argued and bickered before, she actually changed and started calling me "Brother" right when the serious stuff is about to unfold.

Just as he wanted to respond, he heard the Jin Ning'er's voice again, "If you fail to treat my grandpa, just know that a lot of people will be looking for you to get even…"

Right as she finished her sentence, she gave Daemon a gaze that was hopeful yet filled with warning before finally bursting into laughter and walking out while closing the door.

Jin Ning'er was actually right. Jin Dong was a really high level figure, if Daemon really failed to treat him, the number of people who would come after him could probably fill up the entire S-City!

Of course, if Daemon treated Jin Dong successfully…

"Old Jin, as it turns out, Little Ning is pretty filial to you…" Daemon flashed a smile at Jin Dong as he praised his granddaughter, he has already put down his Cultivator persona and now that he knows that Jin Ning'er is his granddaughter he has no reason not to help this Old man.

"I guess my love and care for my granddaughter weren't wasted! Sigh, it's also my fault for spoiling her. Please do tolerate and give in to her when you two spend time together in the future, take it as your respect for me." *Cough cough*

Jin Dong had already decided that regardless of whether Daemon was successful and become a formidable figure in the future, he would treat this youngster, who was going to be placing needles all over him on their first meeting, nicely and with respect.

Daemon did not bother to think about the underlying meaning of Jin Dong's words before casually nodding his head. Right when his body could no longer contain any more spiritual energy released from the Golden Statute, he reached his hand into the Golden Statute and grabbed all nine of the gold needles.

Jin Dong's heart ached as he saw how Daemon casually grabbed the gold needles. He had always treated the nine gold needles with the utmost respect, it was no wonder his heart ached when he saw how Daemon handled them.

However, he did not express his uneasiness, instead, he smiled and asked, "Daemon, do you want to switch to a different place?"

What he meant was whether they should head into the house where there was a bed, so it would be more convenient for him to get undressed and for Daemon to place the needles.

Daemon shook his head right away and replied, "It's alright, it's brighter out here, just take off your jacket and shoes."

Jin Dong nodded and agreed as he began to remove his jacket and shoes, completely oblivious to the difference in Daemon's voice.

Right then, Daemon's forehead and nose were breaking out in cold sweat.

As Daemon grabbed onto the nine gold needles confidently, he realized something was wrong.

He realized that there was no sign of the spiritual energy within his body moving into the nine gold needles!

Daemon had tried to flow his qi, but the spiritual energy was trapped within his body, as if they were soldiers who had fallen asleep, impossible to mobilize!He check his body and found bout that all the qi was trapped around his muscles and a small wisp is constantly moving towards the God stone at the centre of his mind palace.
