Chapter 102: Chapter 37, 36 Acupoints_3

"Cough cough, so why did you drag me to the bathroom?"

Gao Xin pointed at the bathtub filled with petal water, "Because the medicinal baths we’ve been mixing ourselves are becoming less and less effective. Could you help me prepare a good one?"

Dongfang Yi was flabbergasted. He walked over to the tub and looked at the petals inside, "Medicinal bath? You call this thing a medicinal bath?"

"Clears heat and defeats fire?"

He scooped up a spoonful, looked at the petals that had turned black, and immediately shook it off with disgust.

Gao Xin said, "My brother mixed it for me, mainly to replenish my energy consumption and stimulate my body to heal injuries."

"It’s not bad, but I think you could make a better one."

Dongfang Yi was utterly bewildered and hurried to the tub, sloshing around in the water, even tasting it.

Then he spat it out several times, "Could this even be effective? That, fill a bottle for me to take back and study."

He even began to doubt himself, feeling that this was beyond his knowledge of medicine.

"You see... it might have some effect at the beginning, but methods like medicinal baths and fumigation are all one-time things. You didn’t use it continuously, did you?" Dongfang Yi said.

Gao Xin nodded, "Yes, there are too few flowers nearby, but what’s the problem with using them just once?"

He didn’t think much of it, after all, he had soaked more than once yesterday, and each time it had an effect, it was just getting worse and worse.

Dongfang Yi grinned, "What do you mean ’what’s the problem’? One-time use means you can’t use it twice."

"After being used, the ingredients inside change, plus with the passage of time and these flowers rotting."

"In other words, it’s turned into a different medicine, or even poison!"

Gao Xin suddenly realized, "I see, it turned into other medicines... Here I thought I had a problem with my mindset."

He used the Fake Medicine Skill to amplify and distort the medicine’s effects.

If it were medicine ingested, it would have been fine, but since this was for external use and was constantly being affected and changing, the notions he had originally instilled in himself using covert logical tricks became ineffective because it was no longer the ’Su Lei’s unique medicinal bath’.

Dongfang Yi rolled his eyes, "What does this have to do with your thinking?"

"Who the hell mixed this for you? Didn’t they tell you these basics?"

"Chinese medicine isn’t that simple. Different people, different illnesses, or even different times of the day all change the effects."

Gao Xin smiled, "Yes, yes, then from now on, after my special training, the medicinal baths for healing and relieving fatigue will all be your responsibility."

Dongfang Yi stroked his chin and pondered, "Not for now, I don’t have the herbs. I’ll have to exchange them at the Silver Tower."

"But if it’s just for recovery and relief of fatigue after training, reducing swelling, promoting blood circulation, unblocking meridians, and detoxifying, you don’t need a medicinal bath."

"I’ll give you a wet compress massage, knead and press the acupoints, that should do it."

Gao Xin expressed surprise, "Massage? No need for acupuncture?"

Dongfang Yi smiled, "How can we resort to acupuncture for everything? If it’s just to stimulate acupoints and unblock meridians, you can just rub and press the related spots with your hands ordinarily."

Gao Xin clapped his hands in approval, "Good, that’s great!"

"I’ll go train, and after that, you give me the massage."

Following that, Gao Xin continued his training.

Meanwhile, Dongfang Yi went out to eat and after eating, he went to sleep.

But he hadn’t been asleep for an hour when Gao Xin woke him up, "Okay, come on."

Dongfang Yi sat up groggily, "Wait, I just lay down... You’re done training already?"

He saw Gao Xin walking out while leaning against the wall, looking completely enervated.

He sneered, "Brother, didn’t expect you were so weak."

"You look so strong, and after an hour you’re out of commission?"

Gao Xin smiled weakly, sliding to the floor, "It’s nothing, I can still train after a while, just resting for ten minutes."

Dongfang Yi quickly helped him, laying him down on the bed.

"Do you think resting for ten minutes is enough? Good Lord, how did you get these bruises?"

"And where did these cuts come from? Have you been abusing yourself in there?"

Gao Xin said offhandedly, "My training is very intense."

Dongfang Yi shook his head, "Wait a moment."

Saying that, he ran off.

He quickly returned with a bottle of ointment and several rolls of bandages, applied the ointment, and wrapped up all the wounds.

For a moment, Gao Xin’s hands and feet, waist and abdomen, chest—all were wrapped in white bandages, looking every bit the image of someone who had been training hard for a long time.

Dongfang Yi then brought a basin of hot water, soaked a towel in it and wrung it out. After rubbing ointment on other bruises, he applied the hot towel.

He also skillfully massaged and kneaded Gao Xin.

Though Gao Xin seemed listless, he still spiritedly kept asking about what he was pressing and where he was pushing.

Dongfang Yi had no choice but to explain as he massaged.

But Gao Xin kept asking about the effects. Dongfang Yi wondered how he was supposed to explain when Gao Xin hadn’t any grounding in the subject?

So he patiently said, "Stop asking, it’s very complicated, and I’ve been learning it since I was young."

Gao Xin continued to press, "Then teach me so I can recognize the acupoints. Then I can do it myself later, and it won’t bother you."

Seeing him say this, Dongfang Yi thought that he indeed couldn’t stay by his side every day.

So he casually said, "Sure, I’ll teach you thirty-six super effective acupoints. The techniques are simple and even ordinary people can use them."

"They can strengthen the spleen, cleanse the intestines, protect the liver, nourish the stomach, benefit the kidneys, relax the heart, refresh the mind, promote blood flow, unblock channels, relieve pain, dissolve bruises, detoxify..."

"Often rub them, press regularly when you have time, and you’ll have fewer illnesses and even look younger."

He rattled it off like reciting a textbook, a whole torrent of rhymes effortlessly rolling out of his mouth.

He made it sound casual, but it shook Gao Xin to his core!

So many functions? Can stop bleeding and detoxify and even make you younger?

"Sss! That’s so powerful? Traditional Chinese medicine is amazing!"

"That’s the one! Master, I’ll learn this one."

Gao Xin was overcome with excitement.

Dongfang Yi felt a bit embarrassed, "Ahem, of course, traditional Chinese medicine is powerful, but I’m no master, I just learned some from my grandfather since I was young."

As he spoke, his eyes dimmed a little.
