Chapter 0005: The Golden Immortal's Life-Returning Needle

At this moment, Lin Quanwu could no longer contain his impatience and stepped forward to curiously examine the thirty-three silver needles embedded in Luo Gang's body

Upon hearing these words, Luo Zhenqiang finally felt at ease, and he also belatedly sensed the weakness in Liu Huaidong.

Subsequently, Liu Huaidong repeatedly employed the same method, swiftly and methodically inserting over twenty silver needles into the major acupoints on Luo Gang's body.

As Lin Quanwu sighed to himself upon hearing the news of Liu Huaidong's grandfather's passing, Luo Zhenqiang and Qin Susu, the couple, could no longer hold back and approached Liu Huaidong.

It turns out it was just to ask Lin Quanwu for help with collecting the needles

At this point, Luo Zhenqiang's address to Liu Huaidong has also undergone some changes, albeit unintentionally

Only Chen Jiangping is an exception; this old fellow is still looking forward to the results in half an hour, anticipating Liu Huaidong's public embarrassment

At this moment, the renowned director of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department at the First People's Hospital appeared like a humble student, eagerly gazing at his teacher, anticipating the answers he desired.

Using Qi to control the needle, with countless twists and turns

I just don't know whether he is genuinely praising Lin Quanwu or actually criticizing him

There is nothing serious, the treatment process went very smoothly, and after half an hour when the needle is removed, the young master will be able to bounce back to his former lively self. Liu Huaidong replied, and at this moment, even his words were imbued with a sense of weakness and frailty.

"Little Divine Doctor, how is the dog's injury?" As soon as Luo Zhenqiang took a glance at Luo Gang, he spoke up.

Haha, I apologize, Director Lin, but my grandfather passed away six years ago

However, just as Lin Quanwu had reached the door and was about to extend his hand to pull it open, a weak voice suddenly sounded behind him

Old Lin, please stay!

As for Liu Huaidong, after thoroughly wrapping the silver needle with his pure true energy and witnessing a wisp of blue smoke rising from the needle, he completed the disinfection process and then, without any hesitation, struck, placing the silver needle on Luo Gang's Ren Zhong acupoint.

At this moment, including them, only a few discerning individuals knew that Liu Huaidong's blind confidence was not unfounded; rather, he truly possessed the medical skills worthy of such confidence

These details may not be apparent to outsiders, but to Lin Quanwu and others, they are well aware of the underlying significance

In this room, only Liu Huaidong and Lin Quanwu know that if someone is asked to assist in collecting the needles, that person will have the opportunity to closely observe the angle and depth of each silver needle

After all, this old fellow is at odds with Liu Huaidong, yet he is still eagerly waiting for Liu Huaidong to make a fool of himself so he can take advantage of the situation

In the next moment, everyone noticed that an unmistakable joy gradually rose on Lin Quanwu's aged face.

Upon hearing Liu Huaidong's words, the crowd could not help but feel relieved, while simultaneously holding Liu Huaidong in higher regard in their hearts

Lin Quanwu's powerful voice resonated throughout the entire ward, leaving no one unable to hear it

However, while everyone silently felt sorrow for Lin Quanwu, Liu Huaidong merely smiled slightly, "I believe Old Lin has also realized that with my current abilities, performing the Golden Immortal Life-Returning Needle just once is already my limit. Therefore, I hope Old Lin can wait a little longer and help me retrieve the silver needles from Luo Shao in half an hour."

At last, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Liu Huaidong inserted the final silver needle, which was the thirty-third needle, into Luo Gang's Guanyuan acupoint. Observing the rapid trembling of the needle's tail, he silently retracted all of his vital energy.

As everyone looked at Liu Huaidong with differing thoughts, each calculating their own ideas, Lin Quanwu suddenly shook his head and let out a sigh

"What problems could there possibly be?" Lin Quanwu shouted loudly, "That is the Golden Immortal Resurrection Needle, a technique that has been lost for hundreds of years, capable of bringing back even a Great Luo Golden Immortal from the underworld. What problems could there possibly be!"

However, today, Liu Huaidong, recognizing Lin Quanwu's sincere pursuit of traditional Chinese medicine, granted him this opportunity. Liu's magnanimous attitude alone was enough to deeply impress Lin Quanwu, the director of the traditional Chinese medicine department

"Hehe, Director Lin is indeed a chief physician, truly remarkable in his insights," Liu Huaidong said weakly as he sat by the bedside, looking up at the astonished Lin Quanwu, forcing a faint smile.

The depth of the silver needles varies, yet the only similarity lies in the fact that after being inserted into Luo Gang by Liu Huaidong, their tails continue to vibrate at an extremely high frequency

Of course, among the few discerning individuals, Chen Jiangping is not included.

While everyone was focused on the soundly sleeping Luo Gang, Dean Yang Yutian quietly approached Lin Quanwu and cautiously asked in a low voice, "Old Lin, is everything alright?"

What extraordinary insight, but it is merely fortunate to have seen a few words in a fragmented medical book. Young man, no, little brother... can you tell me who taught you this Golden Immortal Life-Returning Needle

At first, he did not discern anything unusual, but after staring closely for a short while, anyone with functioning eyesight could see the profound shock etched on the face of this director of traditional Chinese medicine.

Really? Then your grandfather must be a hidden master! I wonder where he is now? If there is an opportunity in the future, I will definitely pay him a visit!

Generally speaking, the secret acupuncture techniques that are kept in reserve are regarded by every traditional Chinese medicine practitioner as treasures that are essential to their practice, and they would never easily share them with others

At the moment the sound emerged, everyone involuntarily turned their gaze towards Liu Huaidong, and some had even begun to furrow their brows slightly

Even if the needle is inserted at the same acupoint, as long as the angle and depth of the needle insertion differ, the effects of acupuncture will vary significantly

After Director Lin Quanwu of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department let out a gasp, Dean Yang Yutian couldn't help but be taken aback as well

At this moment, Chen Jiangping still had his arms crossed over his chest, his gaze playfully fixed on Liu Huaidong, ready to witness a scene of his embarrassment

Unhurried and unflustered, neither arrogant nor complacent due to favoritism, this state of mind is indeed quite rare for someone of Liu Huaidong's age

Those who noticed this detail could not help but cast envious glances at Liu Huaidong

At that moment, Luo Zhenqiang and Qin Susu, the couple, were once again reassured, their gazes fixed intensely on Liu Huaidong

Looking at the current situation, it seems that the day Chen Jiangping has been anticipating will not arrive. Moreover, he also has to worry about his own future.

Lin Quanwu said nothing more, merely cupping his fists in a deep bow towards Liu Huaidong

Upon hearing Liu Huaidong's words, Lin Quanwu could not help but show a look of regret on his face. After a long moment of dejection, he finally reacted and glanced at Liu Huaidong with some embarrassment, saying, "I apologize, I was too abrupt."

Upon witnessing this, Luo Zhenqiang was deeply moved and sincerely said to Liu Huaidong, "You have worked hard, little brother. You truly possess a heart of unparalleled kindness"

In other words, the person who collects needles may have the opportunity to learn that secret technique of acupuncture

Lin Quanwu paid no attention to the insinuations in Liu Huaidong's words, but instead turned his head and stared expectantly at Liu Huaidong's face, which appeared somewhat pale due to fatigue

Seeing his genuine enthusiasm for traditional Chinese medicine, Liu Huaidong couldn't help but smile knowingly, "My grandfather is a descendant of a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, and all the medical skills I possess have been learned from him since childhood"

"The Golden Immortal Resurrection Needle! It truly is the long-lost Golden Immortal Resurrection Needle!" At this moment, Lin Quanwu shouted, his expression resembling that of a child who has just discovered a fascinating new toy

No one spoke to retain Lin Quanwu, for they knew that in the realm of traditional Chinese medicine, the self-important Lin Quanwu was thoroughly slapped in the face by Liu Huaidong after witnessing the legendary Golden Immortal Revival Needle with his own eyes today

I hope that Elder Lin can lend a hand. Liu Huaidong directly interrupted his subsequent words, his face radiating a warm and gentle smile akin to the morning sun in spring

In their view, at this moment, Liu Huaidong calling out to Lin Quanwu must be an attempt to take advantage of the situation to strike a fallen enemy. The actions of such a petty person were clearly looked down upon by the several attending physicians present.

As for Luo Gang, who is lying on the hospital bed, he had already fallen into a deep sleep during the process of receiving acupuncture treatment from Liu Huaidong

Luo Zhenqiang could tell that this weakness was definitely not feigned by Liu Huaidong. In just a few minutes of acupuncture, Liu Huaidong had transformed from a state of high spirits to his current appearance, drenched in sweat and utterly weak.

However, upon hearing Liu Huaidong's request, Lin Quanwu instantly wore a shocked expression, "Little brother, you..."

The other chief physicians also cast admiring glances at Liu Huaidong, as it is not difficult for top experts standing at the pinnacle of their fields to earn the respect of their peers.

Sigh, I am getting old and no longer useful! The true master is right before my eyes, yet I just questioned Brother Liu's medical skills. I am truly regressing as I grow older...

The other chief physicians and the hospital director also looked at Lin Quanwu's somewhat dejected figure with a sense of regret

On the contrary, Chen Jiangping completely pulled down his old face at this moment, clearly only he took Lin Quanwu's words as bad news

After all, if the current trend continues, Liu Huaidong will eventually gain the favor of the dean and the support of Baodong. At that time, can Chen Jiangping, who has had conflicts with Liu Huaidong, still enjoy the good days he once had in the hospital?

However, watching Liu Huaidong's continuous needling actions was like flowing clouds and flowing water. In the blink of an eye, more than twenty needles had been inserted, and not only was there no sign of fatigue, but it became increasingly effortless. Lin Quanwu was once again taken aback in his heart.

However, no matter how loud their complaints are, it is of no use. After all, Liu Huaidong is currently the dean and a favored individual by Luo Zhenqiang. Having slapped a chief physician in the face, what can the other chief physicians do?

In the current situation, perhaps not retaining Lin Quanwu is the way to preserve the last remnants of his dignity.

"It's alright." Liu Huaidong merely smiled slightly, showing no aversion to this.

After a self-pitying sigh, Lin Quanwu lowered his head and walked towards the door with a dejected expression, probably feeling that he had lost all face to remain here
