Chapter 349: Chapter 348: The Magical Golden Thread

"Brother Tian, don’t scare me, first with kidney deficiency and impotence, then with neurasthenia, tell me all my ailments at once, my tender heart can’t take it," said Liu Wenxing with a pained expression.

Lin Tian looked at him helplessly, until he felt so creeped out he spoke, "First off, the bit of alcohol you drank doesn’t count as a lot. If others don’t fear a battlefield of alcohol, what’s there for you to fear? So your kidneys are absolutely fine, no issues at all."

"That’s a relief, it almost scared me to death. I’m still a virgin," Liu Wenxing said, patting his chest and still with a heart full of fear.

Lin Tian curled his lips and also said, "I’m a virgin too, look how scared you got."

Upon hearing that Lin Tian was a virgin, Lu Jia gave him a strange glance, with an inexplicable gleam in her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking. Seeing Lu Jia’s peculiar expression and feeling like she was looking at him as if he were a treasure, Lin Tian thought to himself, could it be that being a virgin is actually valuable?

He shook his head, unable to understand, and continued to speak to Liu Wenxing, "Wenxing, what I said about neurasthenia wasn’t meant to scare you. Have you been staying up late studying a lot recently?"

Liu Wenxing nodded and admitted, "I’m not like you, who gets it as soon as you study. Among our dorm brothers, you had the best academic performance. I don’t want to disappoint my parents and Brother Tian, so I try to make up for my lack of talent by putting in time. I hope I can make up for my shortcomings with hard work and get into a decent university."

"Wenxing, you’re not clumsy at all. If you’re so good with computers, you can’t be bad at studying. But you should remember to balance work and rest. Staying up late and cramming will make you overwork your brain and worsen the neurasthenia. If that happens, you won’t even make it to the exam room, much less take the test," Lin Tian said seriously, this time without any intent to scare.

"So, is there hope for me?" Liu Wenxing asked with an exaggerated tone.

"Come on, it’s not a terminal illness. How could there be no hope? A couple of acupuncture sessions will sort you out, just remember to balance work and rest in the future," Lin Tian said, finding his exaggerated expression funny, but still took the opportunity to admonish him.

"That’s a relief," Liu Wenxing, reassured that it was nothing serious, continued to tackle the food on the table.

This foodie, why didn’t I notice before how much he can eat, thought Lin Tian, shaking his head.

Lu Jia, who had been silent this whole time, after hearing all this, started to believe in Lin Tian a bit more, accepting that her boss was also a healer.

She spoke in a soft voice, "Boss, about my issue... is it serious? What should I do?"

"No worries, we’ll do some acupuncture after dinner, just be mindful in the future," Lin Tian comforted her, as her condition wasn’t really serious. It was just that drinking alcohol recently had some influence, but as long as she reduced her intake there would be no worsening of her condition.

With some assurance, Lu Jia also felt a bit more at ease, though she became much more elegant while eating, at least more so than Lin Tian and Liu Wenxing.

After a sumptuous dinner, people started trickling into the bar, but there weren’t many yet, as the sky hadn’t even darkened outside, and the real nightlife hadn’t begun.

Ghost hadn’t come back, but since Lin Tian had to wait anyway, it was a good time for acupuncture for the two, so he took Lu Jia and Liu Wenxing upstairs to the rest lounge.

The lounge had tables, chairs, and hot water, which was perfect for performing acupuncture. There was also a first aid kit containing alcohol that could be used for disinfection. Lin Tian had even thought about using high-proof alcohol earlier, but this saved a good bottle of liquor.

Lu Jia was still hesitant, though Lin Tian was her boss, it’s not everyday you hear of a young man under twenty who can perform acupuncture, and not many would believe it if told, so she stood behind the two, silent.

"Brother Tian, let me go first; I’m a man, I should lead the charge," Liu Wenxing said bravely, then took a seat, looking as if he was heading to the execution ground.

For crying out loud, I’m not an executioner, I’m a good doctor who saves the dying and heals the injured, Lin Tian wanted to knock him out with a slap, but then thought better of it. He couldn’t lower himself to the level of his patients.

He brought over a tray of hot water, washing his hands while pondering, and by the time his hands were clean, he already had an acupuncture plan in mind. Nervous exhaustion refers to the frequent inability to sleep normally, which in Huaxia medicine is termed "insomnia."

This is particularly common among high school seniors who, in preparation for college entrance exams, face heavy study loads and intense stress, leading to a high incidence of the disorder. Those with mild nervous exhaustion have trouble falling asleep, and if they do, can easily wake up and find it difficult to go back to sleep. Severe cases may suffer from complete insomnia, with symptoms like dizziness, headaches, fatigue, and lack of energy during the day.

If not effectively treated, or if there is no systematic rest, it can lead to memory decline and various complications caused by lack of sleep.

Lin Tian suddenly wondered if there might be many senior students at his school facing this problem. Should he set up a stall on campus for a free consultation?

But then he reconsidered; that sort of thing was for the school doctor to worry about. He didn’t need to stir up trouble as an amateur without a medical license; healing his friends would be enough.

Lin Tian rolled up a sleeve to reveal his wrist, then quickly unwrapped the golden thread from around it. Both of them looked at the arm-length golden thread in surprise, having never seen such a peculiar golden needle before.

"Brother Tian, yours is way too long," Liu Wenxing exclaimed with his mouth agape.

Lin Tian’s hand shook, almost dropping the golden thread to the floor. Then, with a killer look in his eyes, he stared at Liu Wenxing. Are you trying to frame me? That comment coming from a woman would be a compliment, but from another man, folks might think I’m involved with you, Lin Tian thought. He had really chosen his friends poorly, and he nearly couldn’t resist sewing Liu’s mouth shut with the golden thread.

Lu Jia was also blushing on the side, trying to suppress her laughter.

"If you don’t shut up, I’m going to stick this entire golden thread in you, so you’ll know exactly how long it is!" Lin Tian said through gritted teeth.

Both of them looked at the golden thread and wisely kept their mouths shut, pleasing Lin Tian, who then started the acupuncture.

The key to treating nervous exhaustion is to calm the spirit. Lin Tian first targeted the Yintang Acupoint, which is located on the Du Meridian. The Du Meridian connects to the brain, the seat of the Primordial Spirit, and puncturing this acupoint can calm the spirit. Of course, this is assuming the technique is correct; if not, it can also harm the spirit.

Lin Tian shook the golden thread to straighten it, sterilized it, and then accurately punctured the Yintang Acupoint. Faced with such a long golden needle, Liu Wenxing was startled, but chose to trust Lin Tian and didn’t flinch.

Using the golden thread for the first time, Lin Tian discovered several unique features; the thread could be both flexible and rigid, made of a very peculiar material. Even more magical, when manipulating the needle, the golden thread vibrated slightly like the strings of a lute, as if it was playing a melody from a musical score.

Lin Tian looked at the vibrating golden thread, feeling as though he could sense the rhythm of Gong Shang Jiao Zheng Yu!

Holy cow, how come I feel like I’ve become a Lute Master, playing music instead of performing acupuncture? This golden thread is tailor-made for the Nine Needle Technique! Lin Tian marveled inwardly with limitless wonder.

Xiao Manxue had once said that she saw the path of the sword in the Nine Needle Technique. Now, I am sensing the melody of the ancient lute in acupuncture, Lin Tian thought. The more he contemplated, the more miraculous it seemed. Gui Guzi, the ancestor master, was truly a godlike figure, creating such an incredible Nine Needle Technique!
