Chapter 51 - Qi-Controlled Acupuncture

It’s no wonder that Tang Zhen is so resentful towards Ye Haochuan.

Due to his considerable medical talent, he was adopted as the dedicated disciple by Elder Kou of the Security Hall.

He has always been proud and haughty; thus, he regards no one but his master as worthy of his respect.

A few days ago, when Kou Jing left work and returned to the Security Hall, she mentioned to her master that Haishan School Hospital had a talented young doctor, Ye Haochuan, and she spoke highly of him, which caused Tang Zhen to feel extremely jealous.

Deep down, he harbored a secret love for Kou Jing and could not bear to see anyone else get close to her.

Moreover, he had noticed that today’s entire banquet revolved around Ye Haochuan, which irritated him even more.

So, when President Yang suddenly suffered a heart attack, he rushed to administer aid, hoping to impress the person he admired.

What he never expected was that his efforts would backfire completely, leading to extreme embarrassment.

“It seems that Brother Tang Zhen is doubting my words.

How about this, Brother Tang Zhen, please try performing the acupuncture again, but shift the location slightly,” Ye Haochuan chuckled.

“Fine, I’ll do it, but you better take responsibility if anything goes wrong,” Tang Zhen retorted loudly.

Elder Kou frowned.

He realized then that his dedicated disciple was deliberately targeting Ye Haochuan.

It was truly outrageous; he had always taught him that there was always someone better and that, as a medical practitioner, one should always possess a compassionate heart for healing the world rather than a competitive spirit.

Unfortunately, it seemed his words had fallen on deaf ears.

Although displeased, Elder Kou decided not to reprimand him right away and suppressed his anger.

At that moment, Tang Zhen removed all the Silver Needles previously inserted and, following Ye Haochuan’s suggestion, repositioned them slightly to the right of the heart.

Strangely enough, President Yang, who had been lying on the couch, slowly began to revive and his complexion started to improve.

Only then did Tang Zhen remove all the needles, his expression somewhat unnatural.

“There you go, President Yang, you’re finally coming around,” Li Tianwei said, pleased.

President Yang slowly sat up, glanced around at the joyous crowd, and with a trace of bewilderment in his eyes, asked, “Who saved me?

Was it Senior Godly Doctor Kou?”

Elder Kou shook his head and was about to speak when Ye Haochuan interjected with a smile, “It was Senior Godly Doctor Kou’s distinguished disciple Tang Zhen who saved you.”

Saying this, Ye Haochuan, not minding sharing the credit, pointed towards Tang Zhen.

In his view, pleasing Tang Zhen would undoubtedly win Elder Kou’s favor, making it much easier to later learn the secrets of the Seven-Star Life-Renewing Needle.

“Thank you, Junior Brother Tang,” President Yang said.

Tang Zhen, looking embarrassed, did not know how to explain himself.

Although it was true that President Yang had been revived by him, could he have succeeded without Ye Haochuan’s guidance?

Even Elder Kou waved his hand and said, “Junior Brother Ye is being too modest.

If you hadn’t pointed out the correct diagnosis just now, how could my unworthy disciple have saved him?

I say, it was Junior Brother Ye who actually saved him.”

Even his master speaking so disparagingly of him made Tang Zhen feel even more embarrassed, wishing he could just vanish into thin air.

“Oh?

Is that so?” President Yang quickly thanked Ye Haochuan again.

Ye Haochuan nodded with a smile, then turned to Elder Kou, saying, “Elder, let’s not praise each other anymore.

Your Seven-Star Life-Renewing Needle indeed has its unique aspects, but there is something I am not sure whether to mention or not.”

“Go ahead,” Elder Kou responded with a generous smile.

“That’s right, Old Master Kou, although the Seven-Star Life-Renewing Needle is extraordinary, it is often used for emergency life-saving purposes.

For President Yang’s heart disease, the Seven-Star Life-Renewing Needle cannot cure it completely.

That is to say, it can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause.”

Before Old Master Kou could respond, Tang Zhen voiced his dissatisfaction, “So, you mean you have a way to cure it completely?

Ha, what a joke!

President Yang’s heart disease is congenital, present from birth.

It’s too late for any cure now; it can only be managed with medication…”

Ye Haochuan smiled, “What if I could completely cure President Yang’s heart disease?”

Tang Zhen’s expression changed, “How could that be possible?”

At this point, Li Wenfeng couldn’t stand it any longer, and said irritably, “What do you mean ‘impossible’?

Just because you can’t do it doesn’t mean others can’t.

Brother Ye, I support you.”

“Yes, Brother Ye, I support you too!” Lei Yiming exclaimed loudly.

Seeing the support from both of them, Ye Haochuan was touched and nodded repeatedly with a smile.

On the contrary, Tang Zhen’s face lost its color, filled internally with resentment.

At this moment, Old Master Kou rebuked Tang Zhen, “Tang Zhen, if you have nothing to say, no one will think you’re mute.”

Tang Zhen had no choice but to keep silent, yet deep down, he still felt unconvinced.

Finally, Old Master Kou turned to Ye Haochuan and asked, “How do you intend to completely cure President Yang’s heart disease, Junior Brother Ye?”

“It’s simple, through the Ye Family’s unique Qi-Controlled Acupuncture technique,” Ye Haochuan answered with a smile.

The majesty of the Holy Hand Eighteen Needles lies in the foundation of the Dharma of Qi-Controlled Acupuncture.

“Qi-Controlled Acupuncture?” Old Master Kou suddenly became excited, his eyes gleaming with an indescribable intensity.

Unaware of his thoughts, Ye Haochuan nodded, “Yes, Qi-Controlled Acupuncture.”

With this, Ye Haochuan glanced at Li Wenfeng and said, “Young Master Feng’s injury, which didn’t require surgery, was treated with this very technique to shatter the fragmented bone embedded in the lung lobe and repair the damaged lung lobe.”

Hearing the truth, Old Master Kou, Kou Jing, and Tang Zhen were deeply shocked.

They had never imagined that it was possible to treat patients without surgery.

If this method were to spread, the rise of Traditional Chinese Medicine could be imminent!

Especially Old Master Kou, who was particularly excited, said, “When I was young learning medicine, my teacher mentioned the needling techniques of Qi-Controlled Acupuncture, considered to be legendary at the time.

I never thought it was actually real.”

Your teacher?

Ye Haochuan was momentarily stunned.

The memories passed down from the Holy Hand suggested that few in the secular world, let alone knowing, could perform Qi-Controlled Acupuncture.

Elder Kou’s teacher must have been extraordinary.

Because Qi-Controlled Acupuncture relies on profound Inner Strength, the superficial Qigong of the secular world is simply inadequate to master such sophisticated Acupuncture techniques.

Thus, few medical practitioners in the secular world use it, let alone know about it.

“Junior Brother Ye, could you demonstrate the technique of Qi-Controlled Acupuncture for us here, to enlighten us?”

Old Master Kou suddenly asked.

“That’s not a problem.” In order to obtain the technique of the Seven-Star Life-Renewing Needle, Ye Haochuan naturally wouldn’t refuse.

Finally, Old Master Kou smiled at President Yang, “President Yang, with your congenital heart disease, there’s great hope for a complete recovery now.”

Upon hearing that his heart disease could be completely healed, President Yang was overjoyed and stepped forward, “Junior Brother Ye, is it really true?”
