Peerless Divine Doctor

Chapter 1441: Chapter 1442: The Correct Way to Use Points

Ye Luo stood up without hesitation and once again rushed into the library!

At this moment, Ye Luo’s mind was filled solely with thoughts of refining and enhancing the Gui Men Thirteen Needles, completely unaware of how many people were secretly observing his every move!

”What do you think the Ninth Prince is doing?”

”I heard that he obtained a cultivation technique and then secluded himself for days. Seeing him so hurried this time, could it be that he’s had a new revelation?”

...

”Hmph, Ninth Prince? I think he’s just some lucky bumpkin who stumbled upon fortune. Hmph!”

Of course, there were always discordant voices. Whether born out of jealousy or because someone was instigating them, one thing was certain: discontentment toward Ye Luo had already begun spreading among the crowd without anyone noticing.

”Shh, keep your voice down! Do you want to lose your head? He’s the Ninth Prince—some things are best kept between us, don’t say them out loud!”

”What’s so special about being the Ninth Prince? Hmph, he’s still just a common bumpkin in my eyes!”

The man spoke disdainfully, indifferent to the warnings of his companion. Clearly, he had no respect for Ye Luo whatsoever.

Naturally, voices of dissent were to be expected. After all, Ye Luo’s sudden favor and prominence had undoubtedly sparked jealousy—not just from other princes but from others as well.

As for commoners, they were filled with endless envy!

To them, Ye Luo might not even be as capable as they were, yet simply because of his slightly better birth, he could ascend to great heights overnight. How could they accept someone like Ye Luo as the Ninth Prince willingly?

Beneath the facade of grandeur, shadows of hidden darkness always linger, and the same was true for Ye Luo now.

On the surface, it appeared that Ye Luo had suddenly become a prince, an exalted figure to whom everyone had to bow.

But behind closed doors, who knew how many people were secretly envying or resenting Ye Luo?

Over time, this envy and resentment would inevitably spark other conflicts.

After all, Ye Luo’s abrupt emergence as the Ninth Prince was bound to encroach upon certain interests, and these affected parties were unlikely to accept this easily.

Don’t think that the arrival of Ye Luo as the Ninth Prince concerns only him—it’s far from that. The core Imperial Family of the Great Tang Empire had a finite number of members, so the allocation of resources was already limited to this small circle. With Ye Luo’s sudden rise, it was obvious that he would need to establish his own Royal Mansion and build his own influence, according to others’ reasoning.

So, for Ye Luo to develop his power, he would inevitably need to obtain resources from other sources.

In other words, even if Ye Luo did nothing, he would still provoke apprehension in many people—this was unavoidable. After all, the Imperial Family has always been rife with intrigue. As long as Ye Luo remains the Ninth Prince, these matters are sure to happen!

However, Ye Luo had no choice but to accept his role as the Ninth Prince, and the chain of troubles that accompanied it was something he had to face!

Perhaps the Border Guard viewed this as a kind of test for Ye Luo.

Of course, no matter the reason, Ye Luo was entirely unaware of it. At this moment, Ye Luo remained immersed in his research on acupuncture techniques!

Acupuncture, in his time on Earth, was always thought to be simply a method for treating and healing ailments. However, now that Ye Luo had entered the Martial Realm, he realized that this art of acupuncture, when harnessed correctly, was far more than just a means of saving lives!

Firstly, it could be used during combat to enhance his own strength. Secondly, in critical moments, it could serve as an excellent killing technique. In reality, Ye Luo had already used Silver Needles to kill enemies back on Earth. But compared to the enhancements in the Martial Realm, the power of Silver Needles was now far, far greater!

Of course, while acupuncture could be used to harm, its primary purpose still remained healing!

Ye Luo continued collecting any materials from the library that could help him strengthen his acupuncture skills. Inspired by the Reviving Needle, Ye Luo no longer limited his focus solely to acupuncture techniques!

The Martial Realm lacked acupuncture methods, but it had many other practices.

Thus, among these methods, there were many elements Ye Luo could incorporate into his own skills.

Through constant experiments and relentless improvements, Ye Luo had long used up his academy points. Left with no other option, Ye Luo ended up taking all of Yun Liancheng’s points as well.

For students at the Royal Academy, points were invaluable. Only Yun Liancheng’s loyalty allowed this—for anyone else, it would have been impossible for them to give their points to Ye Luo.

But even with Yun Liancheng’s five thousand points, they were still far from enough for Ye Luo!

Before long, Ye Luo had spent all those points too.

It could be said that Ye Luo’s reckless spending of points was unprecedented in the history of the Royal Academy!

Yet now, Ye Luo had no choice but to figure out how to obtain more points because he had realized that his acupuncture enhancements were nearing completion!

If he could just acquire another two thousand points—

No, just one thousand points! Perhaps with just one thousand points, Ye Luo could bring his ideas to fruition!

Others might think that what Ye Luo was doing wasn’t worth the effort, but Ye Luo believed it was entirely worthwhile!

Because in his heart, the Gui Men Thirteen Needles remained a needle technique he wielded with great mastery, and being a doctor was once a profession that filled him with pride!

The title of Medical Martial God would undoubtedly rise again in the Martial Realm!

But what could he do now? Points couldn’t be purchased with gold, and even as a prince, without academy points, the Royal Academy wouldn’t hand over cultivation techniques to Ye Luo.

Should he try earning points now?

There simply wasn’t enough time.

Besides Yun Liancheng, who else did Ye Luo know in the Royal Academy?

Suddenly, Ye Luo thought of Princess Ling Xue!

Maybe he could borrow points from her.

At this moment, Ye Luo didn’t have time nor the capacity to deliberate too much. To him, Princess Ling Xue might very well be the only person he could approach in the Royal Academy.

So, Ye Luo decided to try his luck.

Princess Ling Xue was different from others due to her unique status. Other than academy-organized activities, such as missions like exploring the Yun Kai Sacred Temple, Princess Ling Xue spent almost all her time within the academy.

And today was no exception for Princess Ling Xue.

Life in the academy wasn’t as monotonous as Ye Luo had imagined. In fact, outside of cultivation, students would often hold various activities.

For example, playing cuju or organizing lantern festivals.

For these people, they had nothing to worry about as long as the border fortress stood, as long as the Border Guard remained. They could indulge in their pleasures without restraint.
