Chapter 184: Chapter 183 Miss’s Epiphany "Ladies, I’m back." Lin Tian opened the door and walked into the living room, where Song Yanan was sharing interesting stories about jade carving with Miss and the others, all of whom were laughing and chatting. Wan Gaoyuan, however, was left out, watching TV by himself. "Brother Lin, it’s about time you came back." Wan Gaoyuan’s face was full of helplessness, and his tone sounded like he had seen a savior. Indeed, with three women making a market, let alone four beauties, each with their remarkable insights, he felt neglected when they started talking. "Lin Tian, Sister Song and I have now sworn sisterhood. You’d better use your best skills to cure her, or else your bonus will be docked at the end of the year," Miss said, holding Song Yanan’s hand and threatening Lin Tian with "force." "Yeah, Lin Tian, I have another sister now," Xiao Manxuan chimed in, joining the fun. How did they become sisters so quickly? What’s going on? Lin Tian looked at the ladies in surprise, baffled like a monk who could not touch his head—had they bonded so fast during the few days since they met, like love at first sight? Oh no, like kindred spirits? The friendship of women comes quickly, but indeed, Miss and Song Yanan do have something in common: both are just as persistent. No wonder they hit it off right away. "Don’t worry, what I have received is the true inheritance of Gui Guzi. If you don’t trust me, you should at least trust the Grandmaster Gui Guzi," Lin Tian said, thickening his skin. "Don’t overinflate your abilities," Miss warned, aware that Lin Tian had only recently learned acupuncture. Even if the Nine Needle Technique handed down by Gui Guzi was miraculous, she didn’t believe a beginner could be that impressive, especially when it came to memorizing all those meridian acupoints on the body. Lin Tian didn’t argue, preferring to let the facts speak for themselves. Before performing acupuncture, he still needed to perform a new diagnosis to assess the recovery from the last physical therapy session. His diagnosis was to pretend to take pulses with his right hand, while his penetrating gaze had already swept towards Song Yanan’s waist. It passed over her delicate skin—rich people really know how to take care of themselves—then the subcutaneous tissue, pale blue indicating the fascia, red-blooded vessels, white neural networks, and the human meridians, which were colored according to the five elements. The details of the Nine Needle Technique surfaced in his mind, and Lin Tian remembered them clearly because the meridians in humans correspond to the five organs of the body. The five organs are liver, heart, spleen, lung, and kidney, belonging to wood, fire, earth, metal, and water of the five elements, respectively. The meridians of these organs would exhibit the corresponding colors: blue, red, yellow, white, black. Of course, current medical technology could not observe the meridians, let alone see their colors, but Lin Tian was able to see them through his x-ray vision, although the colors were very faint and could hardly be seen unless he concentrated hard. How the Nine Needle Technique from thousands of years ago knew about this is something that might only be explained by the greatness of Gui Guzi. Ancient Martial Artists could sense the existence of meridians, but they couldn’t see them. As to whether one could see them at a higher level of cultivation, Lin Tian didn’t know, since Miss had no idea either. Lin Tian checked Song Yanan’s recovery. The circulation of qi and blood in her meridians was smooth, and her muscles and fascia no longer had the dull colors of before. It seemed she was recovering well; there’s a basic principle in traditional Chinese medicine: "If it’s free-flowing, there is no pain; if it’s obstructed, there is pain." Smooth meridian flow is fundamental, and on this basis, recovery can be discussed. Nevertheless, a healing process was needed. Song Yanan was recovering nicely, but since she insisted on getting back to jade carving work ahead of time, Lin Tian decided to try acupuncture. He withdrew his gaze, pretending to wash his hands with water before opening the cloth that held the silver needles and disinfecting them with alcohol. As he did this, Miss and the others all sat quietly watching, not speaking up to disturb him. "Sister Song, you can’t sit like that. I’m going to need to needle the acupoints on your waist soon, so you’ll have to lie flat on the couch to relax your waist muscles," Lin Tian said, pointing to the large sofa. "Oh, okay." At this moment, Lin Tian was the doctor, and Song Yanan naturally complied. After Song Yanan lay down in the most comfortable and relaxed position, Lin Tian rolled up part of the hem of her clothing to reveal her slender waist. Although Song Yanan was already in her thirties, her waist skin was very white, and it didn’t have any excess flesh—probably because she often used her waist strength, her waistline was much more beautiful than those of female celebrities on television. Of course, as nice as it was to look at, Lin Tian couldn’t do anything. Even if he had a slight reaction, everyone in the room would immediately rush up to beat him up. He still used his X-ray vision to find the acupoints on the waist. This acupuncture session involved six points: the Kidney Acupoint, Large Intestine Acupoint, Yao Yangguan Acupoint on the waist, as well as the Weizhong acupoint, Yanglingquan Acupoint, and Kunlun acupoint on the foot. Lin Tian had learned massage from his grandfather when he was a child and knew the effects of stimulating these acupoints very well, especially after systematically studying the Nine Needle Technique. The functions of the acupoints around a person’s body had been thoroughly researched in ancient times and passed down through generations. However, knowing them is one thing and knowing how to stimulate them to achieve healing effects is another—and the latter is more difficult. Acupuncture is a good method, but many techniques have already been lost to history, vanished, or perhaps buried in an ancient tomb. Lin Tian cleared his mind of these messy thoughts and pinched a filiform needle. He first needed to needle the Kidney Acupoint, which, according to the theory in the books, is located one and a half inches lateral to the lower border of the spinous process of the second lumbar vertebra. But Lin Tian didn’t need to worry about that—with his X-ray vision, the acupoints were clear to see. Pinching the needle, inserting it straight in, and manipulating it—Lin Tian’s actions were fluid, like clouds flowing across the sky. Miss, being an Ancient Martial Artist, could clearly see every movement in Lin Tian’s manipulation of the needles. She felt they contained profound principles but could not fully comprehend them, as if they were the masterful sword techniques of a high-level Ancient Martial Artist. Before, watching the Nine Needle Technique, Xiao Manxue had this feeling too—it seemed like acupuncture techniques but also like Ancient Martial skills. Now, watching Lin Tian manipulate the needles, her inner feeling was even stronger. She became immersed, and the True Qi in her body began to circulate rapidly, as if something was about to emerge. The others simply felt that Lin Tian’s manipulation of the needles was graceful and were utterly entranced. The Large Intestine Acupoint and the Yao Yangguan Acupoint are on the same horizontal line, with the former located one and a half inches lateral to the lower border of the spinous process of the fourth lumbar vertebra, while the Yao Yangguan Acupoint is directly in the depression under the spinous process. While observing the points where the qi and blood converged in his X-ray vision, Lin Tian simultaneously inserted needles into both hands and then manipulated them according to the techniques recorded in the Nine Needle Technique. "Sister Song, what are you feeling?" Lin Tian asked while continuing his needlework. "I feel a warm surge of qi in my lower back that’s very soothing," Song Yanan replied, eyes closed as if enjoying the comfort. This was the correct needle sensation for acupuncture, and with the Nine Needle Technique, the needle sensation was even more intense. Through X-ray vision, Lin Tian could see that not only did the qi and blood become livelier under the stimulation, but the cells, which had been shrunken and dull, seemed to be invigorated as well, complementing the flow of qi and blood. The mysteries of the body’s life are truly miraculous. Lin Tian admired, and the Nine Needle Technique was like a key, unlocking the door to life, stimulating the body’s inherent potential for self-repair. He couldn’t help but admire the brilliance of Gui Guzi. The source of this content is free(w)ebnov(e)l
