Chapter 505: Chapter 505: Please Teach Us, Master Cheng

Shocking!

Absolutely stunning!

The netizens in the live stream went wild!

[HOLY SHIT! So the human body really has 728 acupoints? I’m learning so much today!]

[Cheng Wangzhen is a beast! It’s Park Hao’s own Acupuncture Copper Man, yet Cheng Wangzhen understands it better than he does!]

[Cheng Wangzhen is on another level! Compared to him, the so-called Han Medical Needle Saint is just an elementary school kid!]

[Cheng Wangzhen, I’m all bathed and ready for you! I want to have your babies!]

...

In that moment, Cheng Yuan’s influence swept through the entire Traditional Chinese Medicine Community of the Dragon Country!

He became a sensation throughout the Dragon Country’s Traditional Chinese Medicine Community!

Even countless Korean Medicine practitioners began to idolize Cheng Yuan!

Of course, in the minds of the Korean Medicine practitioners, the one they worshiped was not Cheng Wangzhen of the Dragon Country, but Cheng Wangzhen of their own Country H!

...

「In Huichun Hall.」

Cheng Yuan smiled faintly at Park Hao. "Well, Dr. Park? What did you find?"

Park Hao examined the gold powder inside the Acupuncture Copper Man again and again. He was certain, absolutely positive, that Cheng Yuan had not played any tricks.

Park Hao looked at Cheng Yuan with a complex expression. He knew he had lost.

Miserably.

He had been utterly crushed by Cheng Yuan in the very Domain he specialized in!

Park Hao lowered his head in frustration. "These small holes must be just as Dr. Cheng said—acupoints that have been lost to modern medicine."

"Then... who won today’s competition?"

"It was... Dr. Cheng who won."

As he said those words, Park Hao seemed to age several years, losing all his sharp-edged spirit in an instant.

Cheng Yuan had wounded his very conviction in his craft!

But Park Hao had no time to hate Cheng Yuan. Instead, he snapped his head up, his eyes fixed on Cheng Yuan with fervent intensity.

Park Hao may have been a bit contemptible, but his pursuit of the medical arts was fanatical. Otherwise, he never would have become the Han Medical Needle Saint.

Park Hao desperately wanted to ask Cheng Yuan what those eight acupoints were.

’What are their functions?’ he wondered.

But Park Hao couldn’t ask.

He represented the honor of Korean Medicine!

Losing the competition was humiliating enough.

To ask Cheng Yuan questions like a schoolboy would bring utter disgrace to all of Korean Medicine!

Fortunately, the Divine Doctors of the Dragon Country had no such reservations.

Especially Divine Doctor Xue. He considered himself Cheng Yuan’s disciple, so he had even less reason to hesitate.

Divine Doctor Xue looked at Cheng Yuan, his eyes burning with a thirst for knowledge. "Master Cheng, could you explain to us what these eight acupoints are? And what are their functions?"

All the Divine Doctors stared at Cheng Yuan with eager eyes.

The Korean Medicine practitioners also held their breath. This was a rare opportunity to learn!

Even Park Hao pricked up his ears, terrified of missing a single crucial detail.

In an instant, what was supposed to be a competition had turned into a live lecture.

The strange thing was that the teacher, Cheng Yuan, was the youngest person there.

Meanwhile, his "students" were in their thirties at the youngest, with some even being elders in their sixties and seventies.

Cheng Yuan didn’t hold anything back. In a solemn voice, he said, "These eight acupoints are the Divine Heart, Divine Liver, Divine Spleen, Divine Lung, Divine Kidney, Divine Eye, Divine Ear, and Divine Nose Acupoints. From the locations and names of these eight acupoints, you should all be able to guess their functions!"

Cheng Yuan’s explanation was straightforward, and the Divine Doctors all nodded. They had, in fact, just noticed that the locations of these acupoints corresponded to the five major organs and the sensory organs of the face.

Now that Cheng Yuan had explained it, everything clicked into place.

"Master Cheng, do you happen to know why these eight acupoints were gradually lost over time?"

Cheng Yuan’s expression turned serious. "Because these eight are Life and Death Acupoints! As such, they are extremely sensitive. Used correctly, they can enhance the function of the five major organs and sensory organs. Used incorrectly, they can cause those same organs to fail. That is why knowledge of them was gradually lost. When you research these eight acupoints, you must be extremely cautious. Otherwise, you could cause a serious medical incident."

"We are humbled by your teachings."

The crowd bowed to Cheng Yuan like schoolchildren receiving a lesson.

The Korean Medicine practitioners did not bow. They couldn’t afford such a loss of face.

The group of Korean Medicine practitioners began to shuffle backward, planning to slip away amidst the commotion.

Park Hao was among them.

Cheng Yuan’s main purpose in coming today was Park Hao’s Eagle-shaped Pottery Cauldron. How could he possibly let Park Hao get away?

Cheng Yuan asked with a knowing smile, "Dr. Park, aren’t you forgetting something?"

Park Hao froze. "I have already admitted defeat. Dr. Cheng—no, Divine Doctor Cheng—what more do you want?"

"Dr. Park, let me remind you. Do you remember our wager?"

’Wager?’

Only then did Park Hao remember the Eagle-shaped Pottery Cauldron!

Park Hao felt a pang so sharp it was as if his very organs were twisting in agony. He desperately wanted to go back on his word! But in front of so many people, with the media and online influencers watching, Park Hao couldn’t bring himself to say it.

Cheng Yuan’s expression darkened. "What? Is Dr. Park planning to renege on our bet?"

Park Hao clenched his jaw so hard he nearly drew blood. He ground out the words, "How could I possibly renege? Since I have lost, from this day forward, the Eagle-shaped Pottery Cauldron belongs to Divine Doctor Cheng!"

The military attaché from the Country H embassy reluctantly brought the Eagle-shaped Pottery Cauldron over and placed it before Cheng Yuan.

Cheng Yuan stroked the body of the cauldron with great satisfaction. This Alchemy Furnace was far better than the one he was currently using. With it, there was a chance he could refine a Four Patterns Essence Enhancement Pill!

If he could find suitable Refining Materials to complete the internal Array Patterns of the Eagle-shaped Pottery Cauldron, his success rate for refining the Four Patterns Essence Enhancement Pill would increase by a significant margin!

Park Hao shot Cheng Yuan a venomous glare, then turned and walked away.

The victor is crowned king while the loser is vilified. No one paid any mind to the departing failure. The media and influencers swarmed Cheng Yuan, their cameras flashing, all clamoring for an interview.

Cheng Yuan had no desire for the extra screen time and rejected their interview requests without hesitation.

Noticing Cheng Yuan’s growing impatience, Divine Doctor Xue quickly stepped in to run interference.

"Friends from the media, my apologies. Master Cheng is a little tired and isn’t available for an interview right now. Please, if you would all disperse!"

After finally managing to send the reporters away, the Divine Doctors crowded around him again, chattering away with all sorts of questions.

Cheng Yuan patiently answered their questions for a while before saying gently, "Divine Doctor Jiang has not yet fully recovered from his car accident. I need to attend to his conditioning. Could we continue this another time?"

The Divine Doctors could only take their leave, albeit with some regret.

Cheng Yuan once again performed his ’Heaven-Burning Fire’ technique. To an observer, it looked like a simple insertion of a needle, but Divine Doctor Jiang felt every cell and tissue in his body begin to tremble, a faint tearing sensation spreading through him.

Waves of life potential were roused from the depths of his cells, converging on his injured bones and damaged organs.

The healing power of this life potential was incredibly potent, but the pain it generated was something no ordinary person could withstand.

Yet, the old man, Jiang Daoyue, gritted his teeth and bore it all.

The muscles on Jiang Daoyue’s face twitched uncontrollably, and cold sweat beaded on his forehead, yet he did not make a single sound.

The bone-deep pain came on fast, but it faded just as quickly.

Gradually, the pain receded, replaced by a profound sense of relief that seemed to emanate from his very soul.

Jiang Daoyue felt his body surging with power, as if he had shed twenty years in an instant.

Jiang Daoyue gave Cheng Yuan a deep bow. "Having experienced Divine Doctor Cheng’s skills firsthand, this old man finally understands why Park Hao lost so miserably! Divine Doctor Cheng, your abilities have already transcended the bounds of medicine. It would be no exaggeration to call them an Immortal Technique!"
