Chapter 827: Chapter 824: The Lost Acupuncture Skill

If Lin Tian says it won’t work, that doesn’t hold weight, but when Dean Miao says it, it’s different. Dean Miao’s status in the medical field is as masterful as Elder Zhou’s in the jade industry.

If he says that Lai Xiucheng isn’t qualified, then he truly isn’t. With Dean Miao’s reputation and connections, saying such a thing basically ends Lai Xiucheng’s medical career.

"Alright, the annoying ones have left. Qi Jing, are you willing to let me treat you?" Lin Tian turned to Qi Jing and asked.

Today, Dean Miao personally led the team, partly because of the Nine Needle Technique, and since they helped so much, Lin Tian couldn’t not reciprocate. A live demonstration of the Nine Needle Technique was a form of thanks.

"I am willing," Qi Jing said softly.

Dean Miao asked expectantly, "Brother Lin, are you planning to use the Nine Needle Technique?"

"Yes, I promised senior sister long ago to demonstrate the Nine Needle Technique for her if I had the chance. Let’s strike while the iron is hot." Lin Tian said. Back then, he exchanged the massage technique for the Nine Needle Technique Golden Scroll with Zi Yan and promised her to teach her the Nine Needle Technique, but unfortunately, there hadn’t been a chance.

Zi Yan gave Lin Tian a charming glance and said with a smile, "At least you have a conscience; it’s not in vain that senior sister cares for you so much."

Damn, do you call that caring? It’s more like teasing me. Lin Tian was completely speechless.

"Qi Jing, please sit." Lin Tian couldn’t do anything about senior sister, so he had to get on with his work.

Qi Jing sat on the stool again but asked nervously, "Lin Tian, does acupuncture require...taking off clothes?"

She spoke very softly, but Lin Tian still heard it and couldn’t help but laugh, "No need, just sit straight."

To be honest, Lin Tian really wanted to say it required undressing, but this is a public place, so he couldn’t attract a large audience.

Upon hearing that Lin Tian was going to perform acupuncture, the surrounding doctors gathered around. The story of resuscitating Zuo Hongyi had spread like wildfire in the hospital, but they had only heard about it, so they certainly wanted to witness the live version.

"Brother Lin, do you need acupuncture tools? I brought a whole set of silver needles today," Dean Miao said, a little excited. Last time in Xinghai Hospital, he was the one who provided Lin Tian with the silver needles.

"I have this, so I won’t need them for now." Lin Tian rolled up his school uniform sleeve, and as he raised his hand, the golden thread refracted a captivating golden light in the sunlight, making everyone gaze at it in amazement.

Dean Miao was momentarily stunned and then pulled Zi Yan outside, whispering, "How did the golden thread end up with Brother Lin? Little Zi, what’s going on? Does your master know?"

"Mr. Miao, I gave the golden thread to Brother Lin," admitted Zi Yan.

"But..." Dean Miao wanted to say something but couldn’t continue.

"Mr. Miao, it truly was my decision, but I cannot disclose the reason," Zi Yan said solemnly.

Their conversation was taking place a dozen meters away from Lin Tian, and they kept their voices low, but Lin Tian heard it clearly.

Weren’t they saying back then that the golden thread suited me best? Now Zi Yan says there’s an unspeakable reason. Lin Tian’s thoughts were stirred. Zi Yan is usually charming and rarely serious, so is there some hidden story behind this golden thread?

Lin Tian untied the golden thread, pretending not to hear the conversation between Zi Yan and Dean Miao. Since Zi Yan had intentionally kept it secret, Lin Tian knew he wouldn’t get any answer by asking. It was better to pretend not to know and find out by himself later.

With his decision made, he refocused his attention on Qi Jing. Zi Yan and Dean Miao also returned after finishing their conversation.

Qi Jing’s ailment was dysmenorrhea, a common gynecological issue for women, yet also extremely troublesome. During their menstrual days, the pain could become unbearable.

Medications and injections can only temporarily relieve pain but do not address the root cause. Some people even develop dependency from excessive painkiller use, resulting in significant side effects. Therefore, it’s a challenging condition to cure, and even if cured, it can easily relapse.

However, it wasn’t Lin Tian’s first time treating dysmenorrhea and considered himself experienced as both Zi Yan and Lu Jia from the bar had suffered from it. Lin Tian had treated them with acupuncture with reasonable success.

The goal of using acupuncture to treat dysmenorrhea is to stimulate acupoints, clear meridians, regulate the network of energy channels, and dispel the cold, allowing the smooth operation of both blood and energy.

The saying goes, "If there’s clear passage, there’s no pain; if there’s pain, there’s no clear passage." This is the reason acupuncture can treat the root problem.

Lin Tian selected the Taichong acupoint, Zu San Li, Sanyinjiao, and the Kidney Acupoint, in combination with the Guan Yuan acupoint and Mingmen Acupoint. Locating acupoints through clothing is challenging for other acupuncturists, but for Lin Tian, it’s a simple task. With his perspective, no acupoint was out of reach.

Lin Tian flicked the golden thread, causing it to pierce into the first acupoint like a serpent. Such an acupuncture technique left everyone astonished, particularly the doctors from Xinghai Hospital, who were dumbfounded.

When acupuncturists perform acupuncture, they need to feel the bones to locate acupoints. A skilled acupuncturist doesn’t need to do this, but they still carefully calculate the location. Some areas are densely laced with nerve networks where an accidental puncture could result in minor pain or severe paralysis, and it’s not something to be taken lightly.

The subsequent acupuncture methods were unheard of and unseen before by the doctors. The intricate techniques carried a specific rhythm. Others performed acupuncture cautiously, while this young man seemed to be orchestrating an artistic performance, pleasing to behold.

"Marvelous, this set of techniques must be a lost acupuncture art," exclaimed one doctor.

"I heard it’s called the Nine Needle Technique, but I wonder where it originated?" Another doctor asked curiously.

"This technique is astonishingly miraculous. How does it compare to the Taoist Taiyin Divine Needle and the Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles?" another doctor exclaimed.

Of course, Lin Tian, in the midst of performing acupuncture, also heard the doctors’ exclamations, but he was used to it. The needle technique of the Nine Needle Technique was too shocking not to draw amazement.

The saying goes, "The layman watches the fun, while the expert watches the doorway." Many of these doctors practiced Huaxia traditional medicine, making it easier for them to appreciate the brilliance of the Nine Needle Technique, unlike Lai Xiucheng, who’s half-baked and only knows it as acupuncture, without understanding anything else.

Regarding the "Taiyin Divine Needle" and "Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles" mentioned by the doctors, Lin Tian had some impression. He didn’t know how to perform them, but had read records of these acupuncture methods in ancient texts.

However, in modern society, it’s likely that no one knows the "Taiyin Divine Needle" and "Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles" anymore, as these acupuncture methods have long been lost.

Nowadays, there are acupuncturists who claim to know the "Taiyin Divine Needle" or "Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles," but insiders know it’s mere bluffing. These grand names certainly can deceive many.

Legend has it that the "Taiyin Divine Needle" was created by a Taoist and later passed to Han Yifeng. However, this legend is unreliable, as the "Taiyin Divine Needle" emerged much earlier, while Han Yifeng was from the Qing Dynasty, making the timeline inconsistent.

As for the "Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles," it has even bigger origins!
