Mou Wenjie said: You are the granddaughter of my fifth elder brother, would I deceive you?
Tang Baiyuan also shook his head regretfully.
Tang Yanran lowers her head and says nothing.
Mou Wenjie said: I will take these few days to teach you some basic medical skills. Learn as much as you can, and by then, there might still be a chance of winning.
Tang Baiyuan said: Why does the little master have to be a cultivator to learn advanced medical skills?
Mou Wenjie said: Lost for a thousand years of skills are all researched by the great powers. They are all ancient warriors, that is to say, they are also practitioners. True Qi was released externally, and needles were controlled by Qi. There is no true Qi in the body, and the effect of needle insertion is not thousands of times different.
Tang Baiyuan said: Ah, now I see! I thought acupuncture was something anyone could use to treat illnesses.
Mou Wenjie said: Acupuncture is something any ordinary doctor can do, but the treatment effects vary greatly. For example, when there is blockage in tendons and meridians, the acupuncture of ordinary doctors can alleviate it, while controlling Qi with needles can cure it.
Tang Yanran said: Is it really so amazing?
Mou Wenjie said: Let's find a patient in the front hall of the clinic and I'll give you a demonstration. Then won't you know the effect?
The three people came to the front hall of the clinic. After all, it's a state-owned medical hall, and there are many patients here. Of course, advanced medical equipment is also available.
Mou Wenjie said: There are also many patients with myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction here. According to your understanding, acupuncture can only be an auxiliary treatment for myocardial infarction or cerebral infarction. You can find a patient with myocardial infarction or cerebral infarction. I will completely cure the patient by controlling Qi with needles.
Tang Baiyuan asked someone to bring in a patient with cerebral infarction, and the data from the medical equipment checks would serve as evidence.
Mou Wenjie said to the patient: You are aware of your condition. I will insert a needle for you once, ensuring that you will be completely healed. Are you willing?
The patient and his family said: We are willing. We are willing to sign the agreement. If there are any problems, we won't bother you.
Mou Wenjie said: You don't need to sign a release of liability. I am one hundred percent confident in completely curing you. The patient's symptoms can be cured with just the Eight Dragons needles. I will now perform the Eight Dragons needles technique, and you all watch clearly.
Mou Wenjie spread his hands, eight silver needles in his palm. He said, "Start," the silver needles were like obedient soldiers, neatly arranged a half meter away from his chest. Then he extended both of his hands with sword points together, and where he pointed, a silver needle shot out quickly. Soon after, the eight silver needles pierced into the patient's brain acupoints.
Mou Wenjie said: Now, I will control the needles with my Qi. The true Qi will pass through the silver needles into the patient's body, breaking through the blocked tendons and meridians. As the continuous flow of true Qi enters, it continuously breaks through the blockages. Once the patient's tendons and meridians are unblocked and return to normal circulation, they will be completely cured.
Mou Wenjie gathered the silver needles and said: The patient has recovered, he will be back to normal soon.
The patient had already gotten up and walked a few steps. He burst into tears and said excitedly: I'm back to normal, I'm completely cured. He thumped to his knees and said to Mou Wenjie: Thank you, little God doctor, you have given me a new life. Thank you for saving my life.
Mou Wenjie said: It's just a small favor; there's no need to be polite!
At this time, people had gathered around, and they kept saying: Please, little God doctor, save us!
Mou Wenjie said: Do you see? This is the different effect of acupuncture.
Tang Baiyuan said: Please, everyone, calm down. My little younger brother will stay here for a few days, and he will treat you all. We have some things to do now, but after we're done, my little brother will come here to treat everyone!
Tang Baiyuan, Mou Wenjie, and Tang Yanran left the front hall and came to the back office.
Tang Baiyuan said: Little Brother's medical skills have already reached the level of godly techniques.
Mou Wenjie said: For anyone who can release true Qi externally, learning the ancient world-class needle technique makes it easy to achieve.
Tang Yanran thought for a long time before saying embarrassedly: I'm willing to accept your help in becoming a cultivator. Once that happens, I will give you my body as a reward. If you don't want to take responsibility, I won't bother you.
Mou Wenjie said: No, you are the granddaughter of my elder brother. If I help you and accept your offer, things will get messy. What should I call you? My elder brother's grandfather or elder brother?
Tang Baiyuan said: Little brother, you keep talking about breaking old conventions, but are you just talking? She's her and I'm me. She's the granddaughter of my brother, not my own granddaughter. We can call each other by our proper names, can't we?
Mou Wenjie said: Brother, this is not good!
Tang Baiyuan said: What's the problem? If you agree and Yanran agrees, it's all that matters. What others think doesn't matter.
Mou Wenjie said: Let's wait a few years, until you become a female top martial arts master.
Tang Yanran said: Do you not want the Chinese medicine in Long country to rise again? Do you not want to carry on the ancient techniques for a thousand years? You have helped me now, and in the future, I can help other girls. How can you still have gender bias?
Tang Baiyuan said: Little brother, Yanran is right. For the rise of Chinese medicine, more people need to learn it. Without a remarkable skill that everyone admires, who would want to learn?
Mou Wenjie said: Since you said that, find a room for me from my fifth elder brother. We won't come out, don't let anyone disturb us.
Tang Baiyuan said: All right, I'll arrange it immediately.
Mou Wenjie and Tang Yanran entered a room.
Mou Wenjie said: I'll teach you breathing techniques first. After you become proficient, I will inject true Qi into you, and you can start practicing according to the cultivation method.
Tang Yanran said: The chant has been memorized in my heart, let's begin.
Mou Wenjie raised his hand and infused a strand of true Qi into her back, saying: Follow the cultivation method I taught you, circulate the true Qi for three major cycles of the cosmos. Feel the true Qi flowing with your thoughts, independently circulating for three major cycles of the cosmos.
Tang Yanran said: I have completed autonomous operation.
Mou Wenjie said: Take the cultivation essence pill and continue to let the true Qi circulate for six major cycles of the cosmos.
Tang Yanran said: I feel like my dantian is about to explode.
Mou Wenjie said: Take the foundation-building pill, and I will help you build your foundation.
Tang Yanran swallowed the foundation-building pill.
Mou Wenjie placed his palm on her dantian and infused a powerful strand of true Qi. As his palm moved upwards, circulating through one major cycle of the cosmos, it eventually returned to the dantian.
Mou Wenjie said: Operate a large cycle of the cosmos on your own.
A muffled sound came from Tang Yanran's dantian, boom, the barrier of the dantian was shattered, and she successfully became a cultivator.
Mou Wenjie said: Regulate your breath and circulate six major cycles of the cosmos to stabilize your realm!
Tang Yanran, after stabilizing her realm, looked at Mou Wenjie with a smile.
Mou Wenjie said: I'll teach you combat martial arts.
Tang Yanran said: I am a healer; cultivation is just about being able to control needles with Qi, not about fighting with others. I might as well not learn martial arts.
Mou Wenjie said: You don't want to learn martial arts, I won't force you. Let's go outside!
Tang Yanran blushed and said shyly: You have touched my whole body. I feel uncomfortable all over. You can't just leave me like this. I'll touch your whole body too, so it's fair.
Saying this, she didn't wait for a reaction from Mou Wenjie and leaped forward, starting a passionate kiss.
Mou Wenjie's mouth was sealed, unable to speak. He nodded, nodded, and eventually couldn't even nod. The two began a passionate kiss, locked in a battle of the lips and tongue.
After what seemed like an eternity, panting and sweaty Tang Yanran snuggled up in Mou Wenjie's arms, losing her previous assertiveness and gazing at Mou Wenjie like a coy young woman. "Wenjie, I'm a cultivator now with true Qi in my body. How long will it take for me to learn the ancient needle technique?" she asked.
Mou Wenjie said: You were already a healer, so you're familiar with the acupoints and well aware of their functions. What you need to learn is the needle technique. It shouldn't take too much time, as long as you don't learn the flying needle technique. Within three days, I can get you proficient in inserting needles.
Tang Yanran said: That's great! I have to defeat them this time and avenge my previous humiliation!
Mou Wenjie said: It's a must! Think about it, who is your man?
Tang Yanran gave him a white eye and said: Show-off!
Mou Wenjie said: I have nothing to show off about it. You've reversed me, so I have no right to brag about it.
Tang Yanran said: Can I be blamed? You helped me with my true Qi circulation. Do whatever you want! Did you learn the technique of 'rubbishing' in Japan? Rubbing someone's mind in disarray, and then retaliating against them, isn't that quite normal?
Mou Wenjie said: In the end, it's all my fault.
Tang Yanran said: Why blame me? Who else should I blame? Could it be the old Wang next door?
Mou Wenjie was speechless, and decided to drop the argument with his woman. He said, "Let's go out."
Tang Yanran, wanting to bicker with him as well, felt happy to see the helplessness in his expression. She said, "Then let's go out!"
As they walked out of the room, Tang Baiyuan anxiously asked, "Little brother Yanran, has she succeeded?"
Tang Yanran said: Grandpa Tang, I can control needles with my Qi now.
Tang Baiyuan said excitedly: That's wonderful!
Mou Wenjie said: Don't get too excited. Let's first go eat, and then we'll go to the medical clinic to teach her the world-class needle technique on site.
Tang Baiyuan said: Right, right, right! Look at my brain. You two have been in there all night, and it's time for us to eat.
After eating, Mo Wenjie and Tang Yanran were led to the front hall of the medical clinic by Tang Baiyuan.
Mou Wenjie said: Now I'll teach you the Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles. Look at the acupoints carefully, and the depth of the needle insertion. You should be clear about acupuncture. If it's too shallow, it won't be effective; if it's too deep, it may have counter-effects. So the depth of needle insertion is crucial. Then he began to teach her hand in hand.
Tang Yanran was also highly intelligent, quickly mastering the accuracy and depth of needle insertion.
Mou Wenjie saw how quickly Tang Yanran was learning and began to let her treat patients herself, with him guiding her beside her. They were so engrossed in their work that they forgot to eat or sleep, until the next morning. In just one day and one night, Tang Yanran had mastered the flexibility of using the Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles, Ten Deadly Needles, Nine Turns to Revive Needles, Dragon Swimming Eight Needles, and the Five Elements Spiritual Needles. Although she was not as skilled as Mou Wenjie, she had learned about seven or eight tenths of it.
Tang Baiyuan, who had also been observing for the whole day and night, was overjoyed to see his granddaughter heal patients so easily. He tearfully said: "Thank you, Little Brother! The Tang family will be able to thrive for another hundred years!"
Mou Wenjie said: Brother, you're too polite. Let's go have a meal now. Yanran has already mastered it. What's left is to slowly become proficient.
Tang Baiyuan said: Yes! Practice makes perfect.
Tang Yanran said: You haven't taught me the flying needle technique yet?
Mou Wenjie said: If you want to learn the flying needle technique, we have to practice in the mountains.
Tang Yanran asked: Why is that?
Mou Wenjie said: You wouldn't want to accidentally use your flying needles on passersby, as one mistake could be a life-threatening mistake. You can try using it on animals in the mountains. If anything goes wrong, it's not just a matter of treatment, but also food. My flying needle technique was developed in the mountains, and even my teacher didn't know it.
Tang Yanran said: I see. That's good then. Once the World Chinese Medicine Competition ends, you'll take me back to the Tang family to teach me your flying needle technique!
