Chapter 144: Nine Yang Needle Technique

Unconcealable shock flooded everyone’s faces.

Just a second ago, Mr. Zhou the Elder had been violently coughing up blood, his face ashen-white as paper. Everyone thought he was dead.

But now, he had somehow sat up all by himself!

Furthermore, his complexion was returning to a healthy red at a visible rate. His once sallow, withered face was revitalized, like a dead tree sprouting in spring. His previously turbid, dim eyes now radiated with vigor, his gaze as sharp as a torch!

What... what in the world was going on?!

Everyone in the examination room was dumbstruck, their eyes wide and their mouths agape, as if they had seen a ghost.

"Im... Impossible!!"

Elder Huang, in particular, was overcome with disbelief. He looked as if he’d been struck by lightning, his body trembling slightly. He had personally checked his pulse just moments ago. Mr. Zhou the Elder’s organs were failing, his life force and blood were depleted, and his meridians were severed. It was clearly the sign of a life about to be extinguished!

How could he have recovered so quickly? This completely defied medical principles!

"Let me check his pulse!"

Elder Huang no longer cared about decorum. He strode to the bedside, his three trembling fingers landing on Mr. Zhou the Elder’s wrist.

Mr. Zhou the Elder smiled faintly and offered his wrist, cooperating fully.

Murong Wei snapped back to her senses as well and rushed forward, her beautiful eyes fixed on the changes in Elder Huang’s expression.

The other bodyguards also crowded around, craning their necks and staring nervously at Elder Huang.

Time seemed to stand still.

Ten seconds... twenty seconds... thirty seconds...

Elder Huang slowly lifted his fingers from Mr. Zhou the Elder’s wrist. He stood there in a daze, as if his soul had been sucked out of his body.

He slowly turned his head, his gaze falling upon Yang Xun. His eyes were filled with an unconcealable shock—the kind of shock an astronomer who had studied the stars his whole life would feel upon witnessing aliens descend from the sky.

"Elder Huang, what’s the situation?"

Murong Wei asked anxiously.

Elder Huang took a deep breath, his voice hoarse. "His pulse... is completely back to normal. His organs are functioning smoothly, his life force and blood are abundant, and his meridians are clear... Judging from the pulse alone, there would be no problem for Elder Zhou to live another twenty years."

BOOM!!!

His words were like a nuclear bomb detonating inside the examination room!

Everyone’s brain completely shut down at that moment.

The bodyguards stared with wide eyes, their faces filled with disbelief. A few of them even rubbed their eyes hard, thinking they were dreaming.

Murong Wei was trembling with excitement, her beautiful eyes shining with an incredulous light.

’Another twenty years?!’

’Just a moment ago, they were talking about preparing for his funeral, and in the blink of an eye, it’s turned into another twenty years?!’

’This... This is practically resurrection!’

Everyone’s gaze fell on Yang Xun in unison, their eyes filled with deep awe and shock.

This young man, barely in his twenties, had actually done it!

"Hahaha!!"

Mr. Zhou the Elder leaped off the bed, full of vigor and energy. Where was the faintest trace of the dying man from moments ago?

He strode over to Yang Xun, seized his hands, and said with a face full of gratitude, "Little brother, I will never forget this life-saving grace as long as I live!!"

Yang Xun waved his hand and said calmly, "You’re too kind, Elder Zhou. I studied medicine to save people. It was just a small effort, no thanks are necessary."

"Little brother, my name is Zhou Kunlun. In the future, if you ever need anything in Zhonghai City, just come find me!"

Zhou Kunlun said with a serious expression, his tone full of sincerity.

’What good is just a name?’ Yang Xun grumbled internally. ’Some cash would be a lot more practical. I still need money to buy herbs for my sister’s treatment.’

As if he had heard Yang Xun’s thoughts, Zhou Kunlun suddenly pulled a black wallet from the inner pocket of his suit. He took out an all-black card with an exceptionally high-quality texture and solemnly presented it to Yang Xun.

He said, "Young man, take this bank card. With this card, you can spend freely at any business under the Zhou Family’s name. Moreover, you can also go to Zhonghai Bank and withdraw up to ten million!"

Everyone in the room sucked in a sharp breath, their gazes on Yang Xun filled with immense envy.

Ten million... free to withdraw at any time!

Yang Xun was stunned for a moment and quickly tried to refuse. "Elder Zhou, this is far too valuable..."

"No, no, it’s just a card."

Zhou Kunlun laughed and patted Yang Xun’s shoulder, his tone magnanimous. "Compared to this old life of mine, it’s not even worth mentioning!"

Yang Xun hesitated for a second before finally accepting the card.

’With this money, a lot of things will be much more convenient.’

However, just then, Zhou Kunlun’s body suddenly swayed. A dizzy expression flashed across his face, and he started to topple to one side.

"Elder Zhou!"

Several bodyguards with quick reflexes immediately rushed forward to support him.

Murong Wei’s expression changed. She asked urgently, "Xiaoxun, what’s happening?"

Yang Xun waved his hand, his tone relaxed. "It’s nothing. The toxins in his body have just been cleared out, so his body needs some time to adjust. He’ll be fine after some rest."

Murong Wei nodded and immediately arranged for someone to help Zhou Kunlun to the adjacent resting room to lie down.

Yang Xun put the black card in his pocket and walked out of the examination room.

As soon as he stepped out, the bodyguards swarmed him, their faces full of gratitude as they bowed to thank him.

"Thank you for saving Grandpa Zhou!"

"Little brother, just say the word if you need anything in the future!"

Yang Xun smiled and waved his hand, signaling that there was no need for such formalities.

Right after, Elder Huang also hurried out, his wrinkled old face filled with guilt. He walked up to Yang Xun, bowed deeply, and said sincerely, "Young man, I was blind and failed to recognize your skill just now. I misunderstood you. I am here to apologize."

Yang Xun quickly helped Elder Huang up and smiled. "Elder Huang, you don’t need to apologize. You did nothing wrong. A doctor should be just like you: treat when you can, but don’t cheat people for money when you can’t. That is the true heart of a healer."

Upon hearing this, a faint smile appeared on Elder Huang’s face. He then asked, full of curiosity, "Young man, that needle technique you used earlier... I’ve been practicing medicine for decades and have never seen anything like it. Would you be willing to offer some guidance?"

"It’s called the Nine Yang Needle Technique. My grandfather taught it to me..."

Yang Xun wasn’t stingy. He immediately gave a simple explanation of the basic principles of the Nine Yang Needle Technique and the coordination of several key acupressure points.

Elder Huang listened, completely mesmerized. He nodded from time to time, his eyes full of amazement. He would occasionally ask for a few details, and Yang Xun patiently answered each one.

Chen Xiafang sat on a bench in the main hall, quietly watching Yang Xun from a distance. He was surrounded by the crowd, speaking with confidence and ease. The corners of her mouth curved up involuntarily, her eyes filled with tenderness and pride.

’The little boy who used to run around Xiaoxie Village has really grown up.’

’And he’s become so outstanding.’

Before they knew it, half an hour had passed.

RING RING RING!

The phone in Yang Xun’s pocket suddenly rang, interrupting his conversation with Elder Huang.

He took out his phone and looked at it. The caller ID read: Xu Qian.

Instantly, Yang Xun froze on the spot, his expression changing drastically...

’Crap!!’

At noon, they had agreed over the phone to meet at the entrance of the bathhouse at three o’clock!

And now it was already 3:15 PM.

He was already fifteen minutes late!!
