Chapter 460: Aba Aba
All the bandages on his body were removed, allowing Lin Tian to let out a sigh of relief. The unrestrained feeling made him feel much more relaxed.
In no time, Meng Nan brought over a bottle of disinfectant alcohol.
Zhao Xuefeng sat on the chair, his expression serious, and began sterilizing the silver needles with alcohol cotton.
Zhao Xuefeng had studied ancient medicine his whole life, yet for some reason, this time he was incredibly nervous. His nerves were tense and extremely serious.
It seemed like even his first time treating a patient was much better than this?
It’s no wonder Zhao Xuefeng felt this way; he indeed had no confidence whatsoever.
"Teacher, don’t be nervous. Just follow my instructions, and there definitely won’t be a problem," Lin Tian said with a playful smile to reassure.
With a helpless bitter smile, Zhao Xuefeng wondered why he was accompanying Lin Tian in this bit of nonsense today.
People often say healers don’t treat themselves, yet Lin Tian seemed to be enjoying this like it was a game.
"No laughing!" Zhao Xuefeng said sternly.
The smile on Lin Tian’s face immediately disappeared, leaving him expressionless as he stared back at Zhao Xuefeng.
Sisi, holding Liou Qingcheng’s arm, asked softly, "Is your Lin Tian really into ancient medicine? Why do I feel like he’s just playing around?"
"I trust him." Liou Qingcheng looked at Lin Tian with a hazy gaze. Although she wasn’t confident, she inexplicably felt a sense of trust.
"Teacher, Qi Sea Acupoint."
Lin Tian announced the first acupoint.
The Qi Sea Acupoint is on the body’s midline, one and a half inches below the navel, part of the Ren meridian.
The reason Lin Tian was so confident was naturally because of the Acupuncture Chapter in the Tyrant Emperor’s Record, which recorded human acupoints very clearly, and Lin Tian knew one day he would need it, so he remembered them very well.
As the silver needle pierced the Qi Sea Acupoint, Lin Tian felt a surge of energy throughout his body; the Spiritual Qi in his Sea of Qi bubbled, and even the Golden Core that couldn’t be moved started slowly rotating.
"Juque Acupoint."
Zhao Xuefeng didn’t hesitate at all as he took out a silver needle; his left hand assisted, and his right hand inserted it, pinpointing Lin Tian’s abdomen six inches up from the navel.
Zhao Xuefeng’s technique was very practiced, and as his fingers twisted, the silver needle sank into Lin Tian’s skin.
Even Zhao Xuefeng didn’t realize that as the needle went in, Lin Tian’s Spiritual Qi surged forth.
This was the second reason Lin Tian dared let Zhao Xuefeng needle him.
According to the Acupuncture Chapter in the Tyrant Emperor’s Record, the acupuncture technique and the key lie in the hidden Spiritual Qi within the needle, which, when applied at an acupoint, becomes effective immediately, maximizing efficacy.
If Lin Tian were to needle someone else, achieving this would be simple.
But since it was Zhao Xuefeng administering the needle, he was just a regular person with no Spiritual Qi and unaware of the techniques in the Tyrant Emperor’s Record.
When the needle pierced Lin Tian, he had to mobilize the Spiritual Qi himself, which, while effective, was far less powerful.
At this moment, the door suddenly smashed open with a loud bang, as if kicked open.
The sudden opening startled Liou Qingcheng, Meng Nan, and the others, their hearts racing.
But it seemed that none of this affected Lin Tian and Zhao Xuefeng, with an air of ’remaining unfazed even if Mount Tai collapses before them.’
As the elder and the youngster cooperated, the fifth silver needle had already been inserted into Lin Tian, making him feel a warmth spreading in his chest.
Clearly, Zhao Xuefeng’s acupuncture and Lin Tian’s Spiritual Qi were having an effect, although the process was very slow.
"What are you doing? Get out!"
Meng Nan walked towards the door, glaring fiercely at Wu Neng and the four bodyguards behind him, not daring to shout in fear of disturbing Zhao Xuefeng, yet not reducing his fierceness.
Wu Neng ignored Meng Nan, his gaze fixed on the hospital bed. Seeing Zhao Xuefeng needling, he jumped up in alarm: "What are you doing! What are you doing! He just passed the danger period, and now you’re torturing him like this; if anything happens, can you take responsibility?"
Wu Neng felt a deep pain. Lin Tian was his VIP patient; healing him would naturally bring great benefits. But given the current situation, even if Zhao Xuefeng’s treatment succeeded, he wouldn’t be able to handle the consequences.
Not to mention, this was his patient, and others were interfering. Does he still have any face?
Wu Neng pointed at Zhao Xuefeng and Lin Tian, desperate and red-faced, his loud voice drawing a crowd of onlookers.
In no time, people packed the doorway.
"Do we need you, a quack, to interfere?"
Sisi stood beside Meng Nan, slapping Wu Neng’s finger, causing him to grimace in pain.
Wu Neng retracted his hand, signaling to the four security guards, "Go, drive these people out, and that old man too."
The four security guards were hesitant, exchanging glances, ultimately none willing to take the lead.
The four were unclear of the entire situation’s details, and seeing that old man looking so skilled, interrupting them would definitely spell trouble.
"What are you doing! Go and drive them out!" Wu Neng shouted at the four guards, but they remained unmoved.
"Silence!"
Lin Tian took out a silver needle from the box, filled it with Spiritual Qi, flipped his wrist, and sent the needle flying.
Thunk~
The silver needle struck dead center on Wu Neng’s forehead, the Mute Acupoint.
As the Spiritual Qi flowed in, Wu Neng suddenly couldn’t speak. He hurriedly removed the silver needle from the Mute Acupoint, opened his mouth but was still unable to speak.
Pointing at Lin Tian with ’Ah Ba Ah Ba’ sounds, he wanted to say something but couldn’t produce any sound, tears welling up in desperation.
Li laughed, "What’s wrong with you? Calling ’Ah Ba Ah Ba’—I don’t recognize you as my ungrateful son!"
Li usually spoke little, but when he did, he was rather cutting, eliciting laughter from Sisi and Meng Nan.
"Ah Ba..." Wu Neng’s expression grew anxious and angry, hands clasping his throat, jumping in place as if trying to cough up the obstructing air in his throat.
Of course, doing this was futile. Ordinary people have no means against Spiritual Qi.
Lin Tian’s move was observed very clearly by everyone, especially Zhao Xuefeng sitting beside him, taken aback.
Lin Tian’s seemingly casual action precisely hit Wu Yong’s acupoint, rendering him mute.
The Mute Acupoint features in novels and dramas. Zhao Xuefeng, having researched ancient medicine for decades and being very familiar with human acupoints, knew well.
The Mute Acupoint does not exist among traditional acupoints; it is an extraordinary acupoint.
How did Lin Tian do it?
Is this a martial arts novel?
Zhao Xuefeng had already decided to question this youngster thoroughly after the acupuncture!
Unaware of Zhao Xuefeng’s confusion, Lin Tian continued announcing acupoint names for him to needle.
Only then did Zhao Xuefeng regain focus and continue concentrating on needling.
