Chapter 733: Chapter 730: Changes in Condition

Lin Tian couldn’t just take out the gold thread and start stabbing He Mengxiang with it, especially since she was Liu Wenxing’s girlfriend. Asking for her consent was not only a form of respect towards her, but also towards Liu Wenxing.

"Lin Tian, you’re Wenxing’s brother, I trust you," He Mengxiang agreed, stating that acupuncture was no joke, as a wrong needle could cause trouble, ranging from mild pain to severe nerve damage, aftereffects, or even shock and death.

Thus, He Mengxiang’s words carried a complete trust in both Liu Wenxing and Lin Tian.

Doctor Lai was a medical professional and understood the grave implications of acupuncture; he wanted to say something, but he stopped himself, only scoffing internally, thinking, "Let’s see how you handle this when things go wrong!"

Lin Tian, of course, didn’t know Doctor Lai’s thoughts. Having received He Mengxiang’s consent, he used his x-ray vision to identify the necessary acupoints for acupuncture, then with a flick, the initially soft gold thread became as rigid as a flying needle, accurately piercing the Cizhuxue on her elbow.

Cizhuxue, ’Ci’ meaning small and ’Ze’ meaning pond, is where the turbid descending fluid of the hand’s Taiyin lung channel gathers and forms a small pond. Acupuncture at this point can regulate lung qi, clear heat, harmonize the middle, and is primarily used to treat chest and rib swelling, coughing, and sore throat.

One end of the gold thread remained inside the acupoint while Lin Tian held the other end; with his free hand, he gently plucked the thread, sending an almost imperceptible tremor into the acupoint, stimulating the flow of qi and blood in the hand’s Taiyin lung channel.

"Huh...what a strange feeling?" He Mengxiang exclaimed, her eyes lighting up with surprise.

"What feeling?" her close friend Chang Jiayan asked out of curiosity.

The others were even more curious; many girls were seeing real acupuncture for the first time. They had only seen it on television before, but they felt that Lin Tian’s acupuncture was somehow different, imbuing a strange rhythm that gave off the odd illusion not of a doctor performing acupuncture but of a musician playing an eternal and exquisite melody.

He Mengxiang breathed out lightly, then comfortably said, "It feels like a cool breeze moving through my arm to my lungs, making the air around seem fresher."

"The air is fresher?" Chang Jiayan blinked confusedly and said.

She even tried to take a breath, but the air was murky with the dorm crowded; there was no way it felt fresher.

"Yes, but you can’t feel it; it must be the effect of Lin Tian’s acupuncture, so magical," He Mengxiang inhaled deeply once more.

"To feel the needle sensation on the very first needle, this..." Doctor Lai said in shock, struggling to speak coherently.

Although he studied Western medicine, he was certainly familiar with Huaxia medicine, so understanding acupuncture was not odd, but it was precisely because of his understanding that he was so astonished.

"Doctor Lai, why such a strong reaction? Is something wrong?" Principal Yan looked at him curiously and asked.

Doctor Lai wanted to suggest it was a bad sign, to belittle Lin Tian, but he knew that someone who could elicit feelings from the initial needle was not someone to speak ill of without embarrassing himself.

He now finally realized that the high school student he had looked down upon was an acupuncture master, which made him somewhat dejected, realizing he had indeed kicked an iron plate this time.

"Principal Yan, the patient has experienced needle sensation, specifically a sensation that follows the channel," Doctor Lai replied humbly, no longer being haughty.

"Is that a good thing or a bad thing?" Principal Yan asked again. This was what he cared about because it involved Lin Tian’s reputation and the health of another female student.

Doctor Lai looked at Lin Tian, who was in the middle of performing acupuncture, feeling a sense of unreality, yet he replied, "The sensation during acupuncture, such as coldness, heat, sourness, numbness, and swelling, is a good phenomenon, indicating that the acupuncture is effective."

Principal Yan breathed a sigh of relief, let go of his hanging heart, and with a lighter mood, he curiously asked, "What does ’sensation along the channels’ mean then?"

The other female students also didn’t understand these technical terms and wanted to know more. Lai Xiucheng could have ignored the curiosity of the female students, but he dared not ignore the principal’s question.

"Sensation along the channels refers to those sensations of coldness, heat, sourness, numbness, and swelling being transmitted along the meridians. Therefore, sensation along the channels is a better phenomenon than the general sensation, indicating more effective treatment results."

"Because the sensation is transmitted through acupoints and meridians, affecting all tissues, organs, and internal organs of the body, it helps to regulate Yin Yang and Qi-blood, and ultimately restores normal function to the body, achieving the purpose of treating various diseases," Lai Xiucheng explained in detail in front of the principal in hopes of mitigating his mistakes and seeking a lighter punishment.

"This is something only a master of acupuncture can achieve. I didn’t expect that a high school senior could do it, especially with strange golden threads; it’s truly unheard of and unseen." Lai Xiucheng added, this statement largely stemmed from the awe he felt inside, as Lin Tian’s Acupuncture Skill had profoundly shocked him.

Upon hearing this, Principal Yan, Director Gao, and the other female students looked at Lin Tian not only with surprise but also admiration; the girls even worshiped him.

If their admiration was initially because Lin Tian had contributed to the school and the students, now it included another reason: his magical acupuncture.

"Doctor Lai, didn’t you just scorn Huaxia medicine?" Chen Xiaorou deliberately mocked him, still holding a grudge for Lai Xiucheng’s earlier belittlement of Lin Tian.

Seeing that other female students were also looking at him with ill intentions, Lai Xiucheng had to defend himself, "In Huaxia medicine, my impression of acupuncture is still quite good."

"Hmph!" Many girls snorted, completely unimpressed by his explanation.

Lin Tian, deeply focused on acupuncture, had no time to pay attention to them. He finished needling the Cizhuxue acupoint, withdrew the golden thread, took two steps out, moved behind He Mengxiang, flicked the golden thread, and as if a flying needle, it pierced into her Fengchi Acupoint.

Then, he targeted the Dazhui acupoint on her back and the Zu San Li under her feet. Lin Tian employed the techniques of the Nine Needle Technique, sometimes light, sometimes forceful, sometimes fast, sometimes slow. While piercing the acupoints, he resembled an unrivaled swordsman issuing a succession of moves; when flicking the golden thread, like a musician playing an ancient famous piece.

The flowing movements, rhythmic, enthralled the watching girls, who for the first time in their lives realized that treating and saving lives could also be so artistic and aesthetically rich.

"Absolutely breathtaking... truly breathtaking..." Principal Yan couldn’t help but exclaim.

Director Gao also followed, "It’s really an eye-opener. Our Huaxia medicine indeed harbors such exceptional secret techniques."

He Mengxiang might have been under the weather due to a cough in the middle of the night, appearing less spirited, but everyone noticed her cheeks turning rosier, as if the Qi-blood in her body were being mobilized.

As they marveled, the blush on He Mengxiang’s face deepened, akin to being drunk, but unexpectedly, she showed signs of discomfort on her face and then began to cough violently.
