Chapter 9: Chapter 9 Beidou Soul Revival Needle
"Lin Tian, you're really talking nonsense; it seems Xinzhu really misjudged you!"
Su Yingxue glared at Lin Tian with a look of disgust and utter disappointment on her face as she shook her head and said, "Do you know who Doctor Bai is? Not only is he a Level 1 professor at the Yanjing College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, but he is also a national authority in the field of surgery and is globally recognized for his research in integrating Chinese and Western medicine. Across the whole Bin City and even in Huaxia, aside from those top national hands, who dares claim they can outperform Doctor Bai in medical skill? Now, apologize to Doctor Bai right away!"
Facing Su Yingxue's reprimand, Lin Tian remained calm and unruffled, no longer bothered to get angry, and calmly shook his head, "I was just stating a fact; I haven't said anything wrong—where does the question of an apology come from? By stopping me now, you're endangering Sister Jiann!"
Speaking of which, even a clay figure has a point where it can take no more, and Lin Tian's words made the middle-aged man feel disrespected. His face darkened as he said,
"I am Bai Chengyun, as Miss Su said, a professor at the Yanjing Medical College. Although Miss Su's praise might be slightly exaggerated, I do believe that I have some research and achievements in both Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western medicine, especially in cardiology. How can this young friend be so sure that I cannot save Xinzhu?"
"Doctor Bai!"
Lin Tian, having been an Immortal Venerable in his previous life, was indeed proud but not as arrogantly foolish as those spoiled immortal second generations. He greeted everyone respectfully, no matter their strength, and nodded politely,
"Since you are confident in your medical skill, go ahead and see for yourself if you can't do it, then call for me! Also, a reminder, best not delay too long, otherwise, even a Daluo Golden Immortal would be helpless to save her if the opportunity for treatment is missed!"
Bai Chengyun didn't waste any words either. With a grave expression, he stepped forward to check Jiann Xinzhu's condition.
This place was a hotel office without modern scientific instruments. As someone with a background in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Bai Chengyun was proficient in the basic Traditional Chinese Medicine diagnostic methods of inspection, listening, questioning, and pulse-taking.
However, after observing Jiann Xinzhu's complexion and feeling her pulse, his expression drastically changed, clearly recognizing the problem afflicting Jiann Xinzhu.
"An innate heart disease, triggered too abruptly, without any medicine administered for relief, and now that the treatment has been delayed, her vitality is gradually fading—I'm afraid..."
At this, Bai Chengyun's face turned incredibly grim, and he shook his head, sighing at the end.
Su Yingxue's pretty face paled, and in a voice tinged with urgency, she said, "Doctor Bai, you mean that Xinzhu she..."
"If my teacher were here, there might be a one or two percent chance to save her!"
Bai Chengyun looked despondently at Su Yingxue, full of apologies, and sighed, "However, by the time we could summon my teacher, it would be too late for her!"
"Doctor Bai, you're so skilled in medicine, how can you not save Xinzhu? Please, act quickly and save her!"
Su Yingxue's eyes reddened, misty with tears, her face showing confusion, her delicate frame slightly trembling, her hands nearly pierced by her nails as she stared at Bai Chengyun, her deep gaze filled with pleading.
"Miss Su, Xinzhu's father once saved my life abroad and introduced me to my now mentor. With such a debt of gratitude, in this critical situation, how could I stand by and not save her?"
Bai Chengyun hung his head slightly, his expression forlorn, and said, "I'm ashamed! Faced with the daughter of my benefactor, I'm powerless... How will I ever face her father in the future!"
"Have the two of you finished muttering? If you're not up to the task and can't save her, step aside and let me!"
A voice, filled with calm and indifference, interrupted them; Su Yingxue and Bai Chengyun turned their heads towards the sound.
Looking at the serene and confident Lin Tian, Su Yingxue felt somewhat ridiculous but also as if she had grasped a straw that could save Jiann Xinzhu, and she asked subconsciously, "Can you really save Xinzhu?"
Bai Chengyun also looked at Lin Tian with surprise, finding himself unable to fathom the young man before him.
He was very annoyed when the latter doubted his ability to save Jiann Xinzhu and questioned his medical expertise, but now, given Jiann Xinzhu's condition, which was beyond his own abilities to save, the certainty of the other party suggested that he must have seen the exact condition of Xinzhu's body and must possess some medical expertise.
"Give me a quarter of an hour, and Sister Jiann will be fully recovered!"
Lin Tian said with a light smile, and then turned to Su Yingxue, "Give me the Silver Needle!"
"That's impossible. Even if my teacher arrived, facing such a condition, without several hours of treatment, it simply cannot be done, and there would be significant risks!"
Bai Chengyun shook his head in disbelief, "You must let us observe."
"That's because your master's skills are inadequate!"
Lin Tian said calmly, "Since you say so, you two just watch from the side, but it's best not to disturb me!"
After a pause, Lin Tian turned to Su Yingxue and said,
"And to make it clear for Doctor Bai, I can only administer the acupuncture through the clothing, but the treatment process may be a bit troublesome, and the time needed will also have to be extended."
As he was speaking, Lin Tian walked back over to Jiann Xinzhu's side, activated his Divine Eye once again to confirm the position of the heart's ailment, and prepared to make his move.
"What a pity, if only I had even a little bit of True Yuan cultivation with me now, the diseases that are difficult for this world's medical community would be a piece of cake for me, and could be solved in a moment! Without any cultivation now, I can only forcefully use my Essence Blood to drive the needles, which can also be considered as repaying Sister Jiann for her kindness!"
Lin Tian looked at Jiann Xinzhu lying there, murmuring to himself, while taking the seven Silver Needles from Su Yingxue's hand.
Can these seven Silver Needles really cure Xinzhu?
Su Yingxue still had her doubts about Lin Tian, somewhat disbelieving, but knowing Jiann Xinzhu's critical condition, she dared not make any interruption at this moment.
Meanwhile, Bai Chengyun, who was watching, couldn't help but wonder with amazement: Is he about to use acupuncture? That is a method of Traditional Chinese Medicine; without decades of experience and power, one's accomplishment is limited! This person looks no more than seventeen or eighteen years old; how skilled can he be in acupuncture?
He better not be using Xinzhu as a test subject, or I, Bai Chengyun, will never forgive him!
Bai Chengyun frowned in secret thought.
However, the moment Lin Tian took the Silver Needles, his entire demeanor changed instantly.
At this moment, he no longer seemed like an ordinary youth, but rather like a national master of medicine endowed with supreme medical skill.
The next moment, Lin Tian made his move.
To be precise, his right hand holding the Silver Needle moved!
The thread-like Silver Needle, in Lin Tian's hand, transformed into a silver lightning bolt, piercing Jiann Xinzhu's Yintang (between the eyebrows) acupoint in an instant. His method was exquisite, and the needle insertion precise, almost causing Bai Chengyun's eyes to bulge out in shock.
"This... this... this technique..."
Watching Lin Tian administer the acupuncture, Bai Chengyun trembled, his face full of excitement, and he struggled to articulate his words.
Lin Tian ignored it. After executing the first needle, his complexion paled slightly, with large beads of sweat on his forehead, appearing quite strained.
After pausing for a while, Lin Tian continued with the second needle, then the third, and the fourth... inserting them respectively into the Zi Gou, Tianshu, and San Yin acupoints.
The fifth and sixth needles were then inserted into acupoints on the left side of Jiann Xinzhu's body.
By this time, Lin Tian was drenched in sweat, his face devoid of color. This round of needlework had drained a great deal of his Spirit and Essence Blood. His already not so strong physique was beginning to weaken.
Fortunately, his body had been cleansed with Immortal Spirit Qi, and this amount of consumption was still bearable.
The seventh needle was much easier to apply. It seemed that due to the presence of the other six needles, Lin Tian's hand holding the seventh needle pierced a few acupoints with a casual ease. Soon he stopped, stood up, and spoke somewhat weakly, "Take out the Silver Needles after five minutes, and Sister Jiann will awaken. I will take my leave now!"
Before Su Yingxue and Bai Chengyun could react, Lin Tian had already left the office and departed the hotel.
"The Divine Doctor, a young Divine Doctor! This person has definitely received the Moo Family's legacy, the legendary Moo Family Seven Star Beidou Soul Revival Needle!"
At this moment, Bai Chengyun was still absorbed in Lin Tian's exquisite acupuncture technique, his face shocked as he stared at the seven Silver Needle positions on Jiann Xinzhu's body and muttered incessantly, "I definitely did not missee, this must be the method of the Seven Star Beidou Soul Revival Needle!"
