Chapter 722: Chapter 722: Who Saved Him?_1

"Whoosh!"

After three silver needles flew out from three deadly acupoints on the old lady, Mo Han took a deep breath and turned to Qin Mei’er beside him, "Miss Qin, could you please help turn the old lady over?"

"Oh... okay."

Startled by what she had just witnessed, Qin Mei’er hesitated upon hearing Mo Han’s request but quickly stepped forward and flipped the old lady over with swift movements.

Xue Qingniu and Gui Nongsang exchanged glances. To ask the old lady to turn over—could it be that they were going to administer acupuncture to her again?

Indeed, Mo Han took out another seven silver needles from his needle case. This time, he lit a cotton cloth, sterilized the seven needles through the flame, and then slightly closed his eyes.

Seconds later, his eyes snapped open, his wrist flicked, and woosh, woosh, woosh, the seven needles shot out, targeting the acupoints of Tianzhu, Pohu, Duyu, Hunmen, Yishe, Qihai, and Huiyang.

The tips of the seven silver needles were inserted three fen deep into the acupoints, and faint white smoke rose from their ends. From a distance, they resembled stars twinkling with white lights in the sky.

"Is this... Seven Star Chain Beads?"

Xue Qingniu swallowed hard, his gaze towards Mo Han filled not only with astonishment but also with profound respect.

"Seven Star Chain Beads?"

Gui Nongsang, always widely knowledgeable and erudite, was also somewhat befuddled upon hearing these words, "Brother, what exactly does Seven Star Chain Beads mean?"

Even Gui Nongsang was perplexed, let alone Qin Mei’er. At this moment, she too directed her questioning eyes towards Xue Qingniu, waiting for the other’s explanation.

"Seven Star Chain Beads, this is indeed Seven Star Chain Beads!"

"I had thought it was just a fictional technique composed by someone, but I never expected it to be real!"

Xue Qingniu said excitedly, "I learned about the Seven Star Chain Beads from an ancient medical text. Legend has it that it originated from a medical practitioner known as the Zixiao Celestial Healer who lived over a thousand years ago and authored the ’Zi Xiao Needle Decision’."

"The ’Zixiao Divine Needle’ is said to be a miraculous Chinese medical acupuncture technique with a total of nine gestures, each with nine methods, and each method with nine variations. Its effects are so extraordinary that it’s rumored those who master this technique can reverse Qiankun and change their fate against heaven’s will."

"When I first came across that document, I thought the ancients were exaggerating. But now, I can’t believe it!"

Gui Nongsang’s eyes filled with excitement as he asked, "Brother, what’s the principle behind the Seven Star Chain Beads?"

With a bitter smile, Xue Qingniu’s eyes blazed as he continued to look at Mo Han and spoke, "The Seven Star Chain Beads involve using needles that have been heated to access seven life and death acupoints on the human body, then infusing them with Innate True Qi. Conveniently, these seven major acupoints are aligned in a straight line, resembling the constellation phenomenon of the Big Dipper in the night sky, hence it is also called Seven Star Chain Beads."

Qin Mei’er nodded, not fully comprehending, and continued her inquiry, "What about its effects? Can it save Lady Chen?"

"Open the gate of life, extend the rationale of existence."

Xue Qingniu’s eyes held a devout look, his tone unspeakably reverent, "With the Seven Star Chain Beads, surely the old lady’s life can be saved."

"Compared to young master Mo, I’m merely a doctor in name; young master Mo is the true divine physician!"

While they were talking, Mo Han removed the silver needles and laid the old lady flat on the hospital bed. Then he rummaged through his pocket for the White Jade Vase, took out the Qiankun Elixir, and placed it into the old lady’s mouth.

"Bring warm water!"

Mo Han gestured with his hand, and Qin Mei’er hurriedly fetched a cup of warm water and passed it to him.

After all that was done, Mo Han wiped the sweat beads on his forehead. Performing the Seven Star Chain Beads had consumed two-tenths of his strength and True Qi; to say he wasn’t tired would be a lie.

"Cough..."

Two minutes later, the old lady on the hospital bed suddenly let out a light cough. From the sound, it didn’t seem like she was in pain; instead, it sounded more like the hoarseness one gets from a throat inflamed due to internal heat.

No wonder, as Mo Han had first administered acupuncture with heated needles, then opened the gate of life and infused her with an abundance of Purple Cloud True Qi, and finally made her ingest the overpoweringly potent Qiankun Elixir. How could she not feel excessive internal heat?

"Where... where am I?"

The old lady slowly opened her eyes, appearing somewhat tired but clearly much more spirited than before.

"Lady Chen, this is Jiangling City in Jiang State."

Qin Mei’er quickly stepped forward to help the old lady sit up.

The old lady looked confused, "Jiangling City? How did I end up here?"

Patiently, Qin Mei’er explained, "You were bitten by a blue snake in Yanziwo a while ago and were on the brink of death. After searching high and low for renowned doctors in Dragon City without success, I had no choice but to bring you to Jiangling City to seek medical help."

"A blue snake? How did that creature appear in Dragon City?"

The old lady muttered to herself, then lifted her head and noticed the three other individuals in the room—two of them with white hair and another quite young.

Gazing intently, she suddenly laughed, "Ah, it’s the divine doctors Xue Lao and Nongsang Lao. Thank you for the trouble you’ve gone through for my illness."

It was subconscious for the old lady to assume that Xue Qingniu and Gui Nongsang had intervened to save her. As for Mo Han, she thought he must be their medicine boy or an assistant of some sort.

That wasn’t surprising—in the old lady’s perception, older physicians were deemed most skillful.

"Lady Chen, you are mistaken!"

Xue Qingniu couldn’t dare take credit, so he hurriedly waved his hand, "It wasn’t me who took action."

The old lady was taken aback and then turned to Gui Nongsang, "Then it was Nongsang Lao, the divine doctor?"

"It wasn’t me."

Gui Nongsang’s face turned red as he pointed to Mo Han and said, "It was young master Mo who took action. He is the one who healed you using the Seven Star Chain Beads."
