Chapter 10, Returning to the Heavenly Needle

Does the young master also have knowledge of medicine

Surprised and astonished, Li Yide scrutinized Feng Jueyu closely, realizing that he had encountered a remarkable individual today. The young man before him, charming and graceful, possessed such extraordinary talent and profound knowledge of medicine, which was simply beyond comprehension

Holding the needle... Feng Jueyu first stroked his chin and pondered for a moment, just a brief moment, when suddenly he chuckled, waved his hand, and rolled up his sleeves

For Li Yide, this was the most unrealistic thing he had experienced in many years. Watching his small shop, which he had operated for many years, about to close its doors for good, and knowing that he would soon leave this world and descend into the underworld, suddenly a huge opportunity fell from the sky, striking him unexpectedly. No one could believe that everything they saw and heard was real.

Her eyes reflected curiosity and shyness, and even a hint of surprise

And the title of "Savior" represents another identity he holds in both the underworld and the legitimate world

However, if one can state when their condition worsened and that it has reached a critical stage without any pulse examination or inquiry, that would be remarkable

Even if one listens, one has never heard of ... ...

Moreover, in ancient times, tuberculosis was an incurable disease, and there was no way to do anything other than delay its progression. Therefore, if Feng Jueyu were Li Yide, he would likely have made early plans for his only granddaughter.

Return the needle to the sky!

My grandfather has been saved

Feng Jueyu did not respond but instead spoke to himself: "Accumulated fatigue and illness, the lungs are withered and dry, qi is stagnant and uncirculated, the regulation of qi is not smooth; what else could it be if not pulmonary tuberculosis? The old gentleman's condition must have been accumulated over many years. Originally, with the old gentleman's medical skills, it should not have been a serious matter, but five years ago, after a tragic change, it led to a depressed mood and loss of appetite, which exacerbated the illness. By the time the old gentleman became aware of it, it was already too late to turn back."

However, soon Tong'er lowered her head, her face as red as pig's blood, secretly scolding herself, "What am I thinking? Tong'er, you are not familiar with this young master, is it not too embarrassing to think this way? Even if I have feelings, the young master would not take a liking to me. Someone like him will surely have many admirers in the future."

However, after hearing Feng Jueyu's diagnosis, the two of them were utterly shocked. Previously, when Feng Jueyu mentioned that he had contracted pulmonary tuberculosis, Li Yide was surprised but not astonished, as this illness could generally be guessed with a high degree of accuracy.

No, it should be the grace of reconstruction

Two completely different things, yet they hold an equally unattainable status in the world of martial arts. Unfortunately, when Feng Jueyu traveled through time, both treasures were lost, and now he can only rely on Li Yide's needle.

There are many skilled healers in the world, but those who can truly reach the level of Feng Jueyu are exceptionally rare, few and far between

Just by listening, one can tell that the old man is gravely ill.

"Six needles launched simultaneously, twisting and lifting with nine tremors, what kind of needle technique is this?" Li Yide could not help but ask, although he knew that speaking during treatment was a major taboo.

Li Yide's illness indeed worsened five years ago. He originally had a son, who was also the father of Li Tong'er. Unfortunately, five years ago, his son passed away due to illness. Li Tong'er's mother, heartbroken, also succumbed shortly thereafter. In one night, Li Yide lost his beloved son and daughter-in-law. Following this, he fell seriously ill and, overwhelmed by grief, missed the best opportunity for treating his tuberculosis. As a result, his condition has continued to deteriorate, and now he has only about ten months left to live

It can also be said that up until now, Feng Jueyu has been merely talking without substance. No one can be certain of his true abilities. What if he is just speaking nonsense? Or what if he has ulterior motives?

Before he could utter a word of admiration, in the next moment, Li Yide finally realized what kind of person he had encountered, or perhaps it was not a person at all, for he had never known that there were individuals who could apply the technique of fine needles to such an extent

Feng Jueyu smiled slightly and nodded: "Of course it is true, old sir, please extend your hand."

Ah? Ah... Yes, Grandfather, Young Master, please take a seat... Oh no, I will go get a chair, I will go see to the tea... The young girl was already at a loss, but undoubtedly, her heart was filled with joy

In an instant, Li Yide felt as if a gust of wind had swept before him, and then Feng Jueyu vanished without a trace. Following this, a barely perceptible coolness seeped into his body at points such as Chize, Feiyu, Gaomang, Taixi, Rangu, and Zusanli. Having practiced medicine for many years, Li Yide, who was already well-acquainted with the method of fine needling, understood that Feng Jueyu had already inserted the needle.

"Tong'er, quickly, come and see the tea." Li Yide exclaimed excitedly as he walked out from behind the counter, his whole body trembling

The title of "The Uncrowned Evil Emperor" is a moniker bestowed upon Feng Jueyu in the martial arts world.

Tong Er stood by the table, her eyes filled with anticipation as she stared intently at Feng Jueyu, completely oblivious to her own shyness. All she hoped for was that what Feng Jueyu said was true, that her grandfather still had a chance of being saved. In that case, she would not mind marrying Feng Jueyu to repay his kindness, especially since the person sitting opposite her was a graceful young gentleman.

Even more incredible is the fact that the person who uttered these words appears to be a young man who is not even twenty, which is truly astonishing

In fact, Feng Jueyu has also noticed that this world is quite similar to the ancient world of the original realm. The physicians here possess extraordinary medical talents for both internal and external injuries. However, when it comes to diseases of the organs and internal ailments, they are at a loss. Even a bacterial infection can take a person's life.

Appeared like a savior

After a long while, Feng Jueyu withdrew his hand, and both the grandfather and grandson felt their hearts in their throats. The words that followed would determine whether their future together would be happy, how could they not be worried

Not to mention the technique itself, just the speed at which he can accurately and precisely insert six silver needles into six major acupoints is enough to leave Li Yide utterly astonished

Both the grandfather and grandson dared not make a sound, fearing that they would disturb Feng Jueyu's diagnosis and affect his judgment. Their eyes, nearly bulging from their sockets, were fixed intently on Feng Jueyu without wavering.

Medical practice states that a practitioner must be proficient in the four diagnostic methods: observation, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation, to be considered a good doctor or physician

Looking at Feng Jueyu's almost enchanting and stunning face, a hint of flush unexpectedly appeared on Tong Er's face. This young man possesses both exceptional appearance and remarkable medical skills, resembling the talented young men favored by noble ladies... If only I could be with him...

Listening to Feng Jueyu's incessant discourse, the eyes of the grandfather and grandson gradually widened to a size larger than that of an ox's eyes. They initially thought that Feng Jueyu, with his slender figure and feeble hands, was merely a poor scholar, but unexpectedly, every word he spoke was profound and impactful.

Punishment Sword, Heaven-Reversing Needle

In ancient times, young girls at the age of fifteen or sixteen had already reached maturity; it would not be an exaggeration to call them adults. Unbeknownst to her, Tong'er had been deeply captivated by Feng Jueyu's words, actions, demeanor, and appearance.

Oh dear, what am I thinking about

Li Yide suddenly stood up straight, solemnly clasped his fists and bowed deeply, his eyes revealing an inexplicable admiration, and said: "Your medical skills are truly impressive, I, an old man, failed to recognize your greatness, please forgive me, young master"

Feng Jueyu and Li Yide sat down, and Li Yide eagerly asked, "May I ask, young master, what you just said about the old man having hope, is it true?"

Tong Er was also stunned by Feng Jueyu's words, an inexplicable joy surged within her like a tumultuous sea. Should she call out to Li Yide, it was likely that he would not awaken for a day and a half.

Laying the needle sheath flat, Feng Jueyu extended his hands, his four fingers gliding over the needle sheath. As his slender fingertips moved, a familiar sensation surged to his heart, and he unknowingly became entranced.

In a previous life, the four characters "Sheng Shou Hui Tian" were a prestigious brand in the martial arts world, and there were those who spent lavishly in hopes of a single meeting with the divine healer, yet were unable to do so. How could this pulmonary tuberculosis possibly pose a challenge to the esteemed divine physician Feng

This is undoubtedly a timely assistance in a moment of need

Feng Jueyu nodded slightly, generously offering a compliment. Suddenly, both hands moved in unison, sliding smoothly as six slender silver needles, nearly as fine as hair, were deftly spun into existence between his fingers, the motion swift and unexpected

The returning needle is used for saving lives

Tong'er felt a jolt in her heart, joyfully called out "Yes," and quickly ran to her grandfather Li Yide's bedside to retrieve a complete set of fine silver needles used for medical practice.

One cannot heal oneself; this has been the case since ancient times. Even the most skilled physician cannot cure their own ailments. Therefore, it is said that the elder's condition has worsened over the past five years and has become increasingly severe, reaching the end of life. Am I correct in what I say?

In fact, Li Yide does not fear for his life; he simply cannot let go of his beloved granddaughter. The thought of leaving Tong'er alone in this cold and heartless world makes it very difficult for Li Yide to part with her.

At this moment, Feng Jueyu appeared

With a full thirty years of medical practice, Li Yide humbly acknowledged that he could not match Feng Jueyu, who possessed the remarkable ability to diagnose solely based on the word "smell." However, upon hearing this, Li Yide was left astonished, his mouth agape.

However, there is no other way; having hope is better than having no hope at all. Let us tentatively consider it to be true.

Feng Jueyu smiled gently, the lazy expression vanished without a trace, as if a different person had emerged, radiating confidence from head to toe

Feng Jueyu was unaware of Li Yide's background, but Li Tong'er was well aware. Her grandfather was a renowned physician in the southern part of the city, having diagnosed and treated ailments for the local community for many years. Aside from a few widely rumored masters, it was difficult for ordinary people to catch her grandfather's attention. Today, her grandfather unexpectedly held great respect for a young man who was not much younger than herself, which truly astonished the young girl.

Feng Jueyu did not pay attention to Li Tong'er’s performance, but instead cast a deep glance at Li Yide and said: "There is no need for you to be polite, my old friend; we are considered colleagues. Let us speak of the matter at hand. Old friend, let us make a deal: if I can cure your illness and ensure that you do not have to sell your shop but can continue to operate it, and if there are improvements in a short period of time, would you be willing to collaborate with me to run this business well?"

At the tender age of blossoming emotions, it is only natural for a girl like Tong'er to feel this way. However, the conservative notions compel her to deeply reproach her own thoughts. Stealing a glance at Feng Jueyu, she noticed that his gaze was fixed on Li Yide, which made Li Tong'er feel much more at ease: fortunately, he did not discover her; otherwise, it would have been utterly embarrassing.

Good needle

The old man was a straightforward person. With no business coming in, he simply closed his small shop, locked the doors, and let Feng Jueyu into the inner room. At this moment, on the table in the humble dwelling, a pot of fragrant tea had already been prepared. Although the quality was not exceptional, it was the best he could offer.

With a flick of his finger, Li Yide understood what Feng Jueyu intended to do, and quickly extended his hand. Feng Jueyu placed his finger on Li Yide's pulse point, and the room instantly fell into a profound silence

"Young Master, please..." Li Yide was also very excited. Regardless of whether the matter would succeed or not, he was already very grateful for Feng Jueyu's heartfelt intention.

The sword of punishment is used for killing

Li Yide has immersed himself in medicine for many years, and naturally understands the principles of observation, listening, inquiry, and pulse-taking. However, he understands even more that while these four characters appear simple in appearance and speech, achieving a certain level of proficiency in practice is exceedingly difficult.

The Evil Emperor's Twin Treasures, Punishment and Redemption, refer to the two personal divine weapons of Feng Jueyu

Regardless of whether Feng Jueyu is being boastful, at least there is now a glimmer of hope

Feng Jueyu had studied medicine with his master for over ten years, and when it comes to healing and saving lives, even some renowned experts and professors cannot compare to him
