Chapter 9

"Lin Tian, you are truly speaking recklessly! It seems Xin Zhu has truly misjudged you!"

Su Yingxue glared at Lin Tian, her face full of disgust and utter disappointment. She shook her head and said, "Do you know who Dr. Bai is? He is not only a first-class professor at the Yanjing Traditional Chinese Medicine College but also a national-level authority in surgery, and his research on the integration of traditional and Western medicine has been recognized worldwide. In the entire Binzhou and even China, apart from those top-notch national masters, who dares to claim that their medical skills surpass Dr. Bai’s! Now, apologize to Dr. Bai immediately!"

Facing Su Yingxue’s scolding, Lin Tian remained calm and shook his head. "I was just stating a fact and didn’t say anything wrong. Why should I apologize? By stopping me now, you are only harming Sister Jian!"

Speaking of which, even a clay figure would have a bit of anger. Lin Tian’s words made the middle-aged man feel insulted, and his face darkened.

"I am Bai Chengyun. As Miss Su said, I am a professor at the Yanjing Traditional Chinese Medicine College. Although Miss Su’s praise is somewhat exaggerated, I do believe I have some research and achievements in both traditional and Western medicine, especially in cardiac surgery. How can this young friend determine that I cannot save Xin Zhu?"

"Dr. Bai!"

Lin Tian, a former generation of Immortal Venerable, although proud, was not as brainlessly arrogant as those second-generation immortals. He respected everyone, regardless of their strength. He nodded politely and said,

"Since you have confidence in your medical skills, go ahead and take a look. If you can’t do it, then call me! Also, I must remind you, don’t take too long, or you will delay the treatment time. Even if a Great Venerable Immortal comes, they won’t be able to save Sister Jian!"

Bai Chengyun didn’t waste words, his expression serious as he stepped forward and began to examine Jian Xin Zhu.

This place was a hotel office, without modern scientific instruments. As a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, Bai Chengyun was adept at the basic diagnostic methods of observation, auscultation and olfaction, inquiry, and pulse-taking.

However, after looking at Jian Xin Zhu’s complexion and feeling her pulse, his expression suddenly changed, clearly recognizing the problem with her.

"Congenital heart disease, triggered too suddenly, unable to take medication to alleviate it, and now the treatment time has been delayed. Her vital energy is gradually fading, I fear..."

At this point, Bai Chengyun’s face turned extremely grim, and he shook his head and sighed.

Su Yingxue’s face turned pale, and she asked urgently, "Dr. Bai, do you mean that Xin Zhu..."

"If my teacher were here, there might be a one or two percent chance of saving her!"

Bai Chengyun looked at Su Yingxue with a guilty expression and sighed, "However, by the time we bring my teacher here, it will be too late!"

"Dr. Bai, with your high medical skills, how can you not save Xin Zhu? Please, save her quickly!"

Su Yingxue’s eyes turned red, filled with mist, her face showing confusion, and her frail body trembled slightly. Her hands were almost pierced by her nails as she stared at Bai Chengyun, her eyes full of pleading.

"Miss Su, Xin Zhu’s father once saved my life abroad and introduced me to my current master. With such a favor, if I can, how could I stand by and watch Xin Zhu die?"

Bai Chengyun lowered his head slightly, his expression sorrowful. "I am ashamed! Facing the child of my benefactor, I am powerless... How can I face her father in the future!"

"You two, have you finished your nonsense? If you can’t save her, step aside and let me do it!"

A calm and composed voice came, and Su Yingxue and Bai Chengyun turned to look.

Seeing Lin Tian’s calm and confident face, Su Yingxue felt a bit absurd but also seemed to have found a straw to save Jian Xin Zhu. She asked subconsciously, "Can you really save Xin Zhu?"

Bai Chengyun also looked at Lin Tian with surprise and doubt, finding the young man before him increasingly hard to fathom.

Previously, when Lin Tian was certain that he couldn’t save Jian Xin Zhu and doubted his medical skills, he was extremely angry. But now, given Jian Xin Zhu’s condition, it was beyond his capabilities. Lin Tian’s certainty suggested he had recognized her condition and must have some medical expertise.

"Give me fifteen minutes, and Sister Jian will be completely cured!"

Lin Tian smiled calmly and then looked at Su Yingxue. "Give me the silver needles!"

"That’s impossible! Even if my teacher were here, it would take several hours of treatment to achieve this, and there would be significant risks!"

Bai Chengyun shook his head in disbelief. "You must let us observe."

"That’s because your teacher’s skills are not up to par!"

Lin Tian said calmly. "Since you insist, the two of you can watch, but don’t disturb me!"

Pausing, Lin Tian looked at Su Yingxue and said,

"Also, find a thin piece of gauze or a thin bra to cover Sister Jian’s chest. I originally planned to remove her clothes to apply the needles, but to let Dr. Bai see clearly, we can only do it this way. However, the treatment process might be a bit more complicated and take longer!"

After speaking, Lin Tian stood up and walked to the side. Although Bai Chengyun knew it would be inconvenient, he decided to stay and watch, following as Su Yingxue prepared to change Jian Xin Zhu’s clothes.

Soon, Jian Xin Zhu’s chest was covered with a thin piece of gauze.

Fortunately, the gauze had a thick fabric in the middle, covering her delicate peaks, reducing Lin Tian’s embarrassment.

"Unfortunately, if I had even a bit of true essence cultivation now, what is a difficult problem for the medical world would be a piece of cake for me, and I could solve it in a moment! Without cultivation, I can only force the use of my essence blood to apply the needles, as a way to repay Sister Jian’s care!"

Lin Tian looked at the beautiful peaks under the thin gauze, suppressing his inner thoughts, and whispered to himself while taking seven silver needles from Su Yingxue.

Can he really cure Xin Zhu with just these seven silver needles?

Su Yingxue still doubted Lin Tian, not fully believing him, but knowing that Jian Xin Zhu was in critical condition, she didn’t dare to interrupt.

Bai Chengyun, watching from the side, couldn’t help but feel surprised: Is he going to use acupuncture? This is a traditional Chinese medicine technique, and without decades of practice and skill, it’s limited! This young man is only about seventeen or eighteen years old; how skilled can he be in acupuncture?

This kid better not be using Xin Zhu as a guinea pig, or I, Bai Chengyun, will not forgive him!

Bai Chengyun frowned in thought.

However, the moment Lin Tian took the silver needles, his entire demeanor changed.

At that moment, he no longer seemed like an ordinary young man but a national master with supreme medical skills.

The next moment, Lin Tian moved.

To be precise, his right hand holding the silver needle moved!

The fine silver needle, in Lin Tian’s hand, turned into a silver lightning bolt, instantly inserted into Jian Xin Zhu’s Yintang point. The technique was exquisite, and the needle placement was precise, making Bai Chengyun’s eyes almost pop out.

"This... this... this technique..."

Bai Chengyun, watching Lin Tian’s needle technique, trembled, his face full of excitement, and his speech became incoherent.

Lin Tian ignored him, and after the first needle, his face turned slightly pale, and sweat began to bead on his forehead, showing how strenuous it was.

After a pause, Lin Tian continued with the second needle, then the third, fourth, and so on, inserting them into the Zizhong, Tianshu, and Sanyin points.

The fifth and sixth needles were inserted into the acupoints on the left side of Jian Xin Zhu’s chest.

By this point, Lin Tian was drenched in sweat, his face pale, as this needle application had consumed a lot of his mental and physical energy. His already not very strong body was becoming weak.

Fortunately, his body had been cleansed by immortal energy, and this level of consumption was still manageable.

The seventh needle was applied more easily, as if the presence of the other six needles made it simpler. Lin Tian inserted the seventh needle a few times in a few acupoints, and then he stopped, standing up, somewhat weakly saying, "In five minutes, remove the silver needles, and Sister Jian will wake up. I’m leaving now!"

Before Su Yingxue and Bai Chengyun could react, Lin Tian had already left the office and the hotel.

"A divine doctor, a young divine doctor! This person must have inherited the techniques of the Mo family and possesses the legendary Mo Family Seven Stars and Big Dipper Soul Reviving Needles!"

At this moment, Bai Chengyun was still immersed in the exquisite needle technique, his face full of shock, looking at the seven silver needles on Jian Xin Zhu’s body, muttering to himself, "I definitely didn’t see wrong; this must be the Seven Stars and Big Dipper Soul Reviving Needles technique!"
