Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor
Chapter 183 - 183 182 Taiyi Golden Needle

183: Chapter 182 Taiyi Golden Needle 183: Chapter 182 Taiyi Golden Needle Zhang Tianxu saw a junior daring to openly challenge him.

His originally harmless smile instantly turned gloomy.

A disciple adept at reading expressions tentatively said, “Master, that junior is arrogant and rude.

Why not have him thrown out to prevent spoiling your mood, Elder?”

Zhang Tianxu waved his hand and said, “Not for now.

I want to see if this junior is really just spouting nonsense.

Let’s go have a look too!”

Wang Chao led Li Chen to the corridor, where on a bench lay an elderly woman with white hair, gaunt cheeks, and a dead look on her face.

A woman in her thirties was busily tending to her.

Seeing Wang Chao leading others over, she hurriedly approached, excitedly asked, “Is Heavenly Master Zhang willing to treat my mother?”

Wang Chao did not answer, but he sighed deeply.

He then pointed at the elderly woman on the bench and said to Li Chen, “Young man, this is my mother!”

“The old lady has the aura of death and her illness is terminal; even immortals would struggle to save her.

I advise you to stop wasting your time and start preparing for her final moments.”

Surprisingly, the respondent was not Li Chen.

It was Zhang Tianxu!

Although Zhang Tianxu’s medical expertise wasn’t on par with the Sect Leader of Medical Saint Sect, the Great Heavenly Master Zhang Xuanyi, he was still an Elder of the sect.

His words carried near-absolute authority in the eyes of others.

His diagnosis of terminal illness and the impossibility of salvation by immortals was almost accepted as the definite truth.

Hearing Zhang Tianxu’s words, Wang Chao and his wife felt a chill in their hearts, as if falling into an ice cave.

Li Chen sneered coldly and retorted, “And who do you think you are?

Just because you say it can’t be cured, it can’t be cured?”

Zhang Tianxu saw a junior openly confronting him and felt his face couldn’t hold the embarrassment, immediately becoming furious.

A disciple of Medical Saint Sect stepped forward, pointing at Li Chen’s nose and angrily reprimanded, “How audacious, you rascal!

Open your eyes wide and see clearly, my master is an Elder of Medical Saint Sect.”

“You, a mere junior who hasn’t even grown full facial hair, do you even understand what ‘Elder of Medical Saint Sect’ means?”

Li Chen smirked and retorted mockingly.

“Ha!

What about an Elder of Medical Saint Sect?

Can they just decide someone’s life and death with a few words?”

The disciple, embarrassed and infuriated because he was a disciple of Medical Saint Sect, used to being highly respected everywhere he went, when had he ever been confronted like this?

He wanted to argue more, but was stopped by Zhang Tianxu.

“Xingtong, stop it.

I want to see how this young friend plans to bring someone back from the Ghost Gate.”

Wang Chao, worried that things were getting out of hand which might disadvantage Li Chen, quickly stepped forward.

“Young man, can my mother really be saved?”

His question was purely a gamble.

After all, even Heavenly Master Zhang of Medical Saint Sect had deemed the illness as terminal, beyond the aid of immortals.

Clearly, from any perspective, Li Chen seemed to have no connection with the term ‘immortal’.

Li Chen pondered for a moment, then gently nodded his head, saying, “Yes, she can be saved!”

Hearing his words, everyone present could not help but be shocked.

Lu Feng and Li Chen had only just met, and though they had enjoyed their previous conversation, worried about Li Chen acting impulsively, he quickly stepped forward to advise, “Mr.

Li, this…”

Li Chen gave him a slight smile, interrupting, “It’s fine, I said it can be saved!”

“Pfft, who do you think you are?

Heavenly Master Zhang of Medical Saint Sect already declared the illness terminal, yet you say she can be saved.

Do you think you are even more incredible than Heavenly Master Zhang?”

Bai Meng snorted in disdain, her words dripping with sarcasm.

Li Chen’s gaze suddenly turned icy, sweeping her with a cold look.

Bai Meng, frightened by Li Chen’s sharp gaze like a sword, immediately shut her mouth.

Seeing Bai Meng fell silent, Li Chen then turned to Wang Chao and said, “Mr.

Wang, lend a hand and help the old lady up!”

Wang Chao, noting Li Chen’s consistently calm demeanor, mentally marveled at him.

Although he didn’t practice Martial Arts, he had worked as a senior HR manager at a financial giant like Goldman Sachs, seen countless people, and had always had an accurate judgment.

“Alright!”

He quickly responded, and carefully assisted his elderly mother to sit up straight, just like his wife.

Li Chen took out the golden needles he carried with him, secretly channeling True Yuan into the tip of the needles.

The first needle: Yangbai Acupoint

The second needle: Qingming Acupoint

The third needle: Baihui Acupoint

The onlookers, seeing that Li Chen didn’t even check the pulse and just randomly poked with the needles, became even more convinced that he was a charlatan spouting nonsense.

“What are you doing, can you even treat illness?

You just poke around with a needle, what is this supposed to be?”

“You two are really something, disregarding the words of the Heavenly Master from the Medical Saint Sect, and actually believing such a blatant liar.”

“That’s right, the old lady is about to pass away from this world.

And before she goes, you let her suffer like this, truly an unfilial pair, such a sin!”

…

Li Chen paid them no mind, focusing completely on administering the needles.

The seventh needle: Tianji Acupoint

The eighth needle: Fengfu Acupoint

The ninth needle: Sun Temple

After administering nine needles, he took out a pill and placed it into the old lady’s mouth.

“Is there any purified water?”

“Yes, yes, yes!” Wang Chao’s wife quickly handed over a bottle of mineral water.

After the old lady drank half a bottle of water, she suddenly started coughing violently.

“Cough, cough, cough…”

Seeing his mother wake up, Wang Chao was overwhelmed with emotion.

“Mom, Mom, you’re awake?”

Other onlookers, seeing that Li Chen had indeed brought the person back from the brink, were stunned, just staring wide-eyed at each other in disbelief.

“Am I seeing this right, even Heavenly Master Zhang from the Medical Saint Sect said her illness was beyond help, even gods couldn’t save her, and yet he managed to revive her?”

“Wow, it’s like a reincarnated divine doctor!”

…

Zhang Tianxu, seeing a young man who looked like a high school student actually save a patient he was helpless to assist, turned beet red, his face resembling liver.

And hearing the crowd’s discussions, he felt as if he had been slapped in the face publicly, a burning pain.

“The technique you just used, is it the long-lost Taiyi Golden Needle Technique?”

The Taiyi Golden Needle Technique was created by the medical master Li Shizhen during the Ming Dynasty, documented in his work “Study of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians.”

This book was originally kept inside the Imperial Palace.

However, after Li Zicheng breached the Capital, the book ended up in his hands.

But, after Li Zicheng was defeated by Wuo Sangui and the Qing cavalry, the book mysteriously disappeared with his death.

Throughout the Qing Dynasty under Shunzhi, Yongzheng, and Kangxi, three consecutive Emperors sent a large number of people to search for this book, but to no avail.

Thus, the skill to heal the dead and regenerate bones, Taiyi Golden Needle Technique, was lost.

Each time Master Xinglin mentioned this, he couldn’t help but sigh deeply.

Zhang Tianxu never thought that he would see the lost for three hundred years Apricot Forest Divine Skill again.

Since the establishment of the People’s Republic, their Medical Saint Sect had been in decline, constantly oppressed by Medicine King Valley.

If their Medical Saint Sect could obtain this Taiyi Golden Needle Technique and defeat Medicine King Valley, becoming the supreme authority in Huaxia medicine, wouldn’t that be imminent?

The more Zhang Tianxu thought about it, the more excited he became, looking at Li Chen as if he were a stingy landlord spotting a glittering piece of gold, filled with intense heat and greed.
