Chapter 10: The Spiritual Pivot

Subsequently, Ye Wutian's right hand moved swiftly over Feng Shulan's head. In the blink of an eye, four silver needles had been inserted into Feng Shulan's head. Two of them were placed at the Fengfu and Yamen acupoints on the back side of her head, while the other two were inserted into the Baihui acupoint and the center line of the top of her head.

"This is impossible," Jiang Senhui denied, shaking his head, for Ye Wutian's assertion not only overturned Jiang Senhui's personal beliefs but completely subverted the research findings on brain death accumulated over the past forty years.

Mom! Mom, you finally woke up..." Su Mengli was overwhelmed with joy and tears streamed down her face. The hardships of the past five years seemed to pour out in this moment. Her mother waking up today was the result of her relentless efforts over the past five years. If she had given up long ago, how could she have encountered Ye Wutian today

The ward was exceptionally quiet, and the expressions on everyone's faces varied. Ye Wutian remained calm as usual, while Su Mengli and Hu Xueer were both filled with surprise. Jiang Senhui was naturally astonished and skeptical, and as for Su Zhiyuan, his feelings were quite complex. Perhaps whether his wife could awaken was no longer a matter of concern for him; what he was most worried about now was that if his wife truly did awaken, what means he would have to coerce his daughter into marrying Zheng Jian

At this moment, a trace of vital energy entered Feng Shulan's brain through the silver needle, stimulating the deteriorated brain cells and assisting in their repair.

At some point, Su Mengli, who was supporting Feng Shulan, shifted her gaze to Ye Wutian's face. In her eyes, the Ye Wutian before her now embodied the true demeanor of a healer, completely different from the slick and glib image he had presented earlier.

After completing the acupuncture, Ye Wutian's hands did not rest; instead, they moved back and forth among all the silver needles with lightning speed. Each time he reached a silver needle, he would gently rotate it and inject a trace of true energy into the needle

Before long, the young nurse returned, panting, holding a metal needle box in her hand

Ye Wutian then took out four silver needles, and surprisingly, all four needles were inserted into several major acupoints on the Governing Vessel

Although Jiang Senhui is a Western medicine practitioner, he has also conducted some research and has literature on traditional Chinese acupuncture, particularly regarding acupuncture knowledge in neurosurgery. Therefore, he naturally understands that Ye Wutian is currently using common acupuncture points for treating patients in a vegetative state. However, the next scene completely confounds him

There have indeed been a few successful cases of treating patients in a vegetative state using acupuncture in the country, but there have been no known cases of curing brain death with acupuncture. Perhaps no one would be foolish enough to attempt treatment for such irreversible damage

Then please help my mother heal quickly Su Mengli urged impatiently

Ye Wutian said slowly: "Due to the prolonged period of brain death of the mother-in-law, the repair of the damaged brain cells will require a relatively long treatment process. I am not very certain about the specific recovery speed, but I can prioritize the restoration of certain functions according to your needs, such as vision, hearing, or functions like breathing, excretion, and swallowing."

This process lasted nearly half an hour, during which Ye Wutian's forehead broke out in fine beads of sweat. He concentrated all his attention on the treatment, knowing that the tips of these silver needles had already pierced the skull, mere fractions of a distance from Feng Shulan's cerebral cortex. Any slight misstep could result in permanent physical damage to Feng Shulan's brain.

She actually woke up, and Jiang Senhui staggered a couple of steps, feeling a buzzing in his head

This handsome face, with its solemn and dignified expression, resembles a warrior immersed in the battlefield. The resolute gaze and the imposing stature—all of these elements profoundly touched Su Mengli's heart, leaving her entranced.

After obtaining the needle box, Ye Wutian instructed Su Mengli to help Feng Shulan to her feet

Oh! The nurse mechanically nodded her head, just like Jiang Senhui, as she was also stunned by Ye Wutian's words

Then, let my mother regain her vision first. Su Mengli hesitated for a long time before making her decision; she hoped that her mother could open her eyes as soon as possible

Under the astonished gazes of the five pairs of eyes, Feng Shulan actually slowly opened her eyes

Just as Su Mengli was gazing at him with fascination, Ye Wutian suddenly spoke up: "I know I look handsome, but you don't need to look at me like that, do you?" This remark instantly caused the favorable image he had just established in Su Mengli's mind to plummet.

However, the nurse nearby was quite aware that Ye Wutian's acupuncture was not random. Although she did not understand why Ye Wutian chose these specific points, each needle was inserted accurately into the corresponding acupoints. Ye Wutian's rapid and precise technique left the nurse in a state of astonishment. If Ye Wutian had seen her adorable and dazed expression at that moment, he would surely have taken the opportunity to steal a kiss.

Ye Wutian's swift and decisive actions left Su Zhiyuan, Su Mengli, and Hu Xue'er feeling anxious. Although they did not understand medical principles, they had witnessed acupuncture before. Typically, doctors would first locate the acupoints and then insert the needles gently and carefully. However, Ye Wutian's approach was chaotic and reckless, inserting the needles haphazardly without any clear direction

At this moment, Feng Shulan was able to speak and move, completely resembling someone who was on the verge of recovery, which greatly delighted Su Mengli. However, Ye Wutian's subsequent remarks doused her excitement with cold water.

Su Mengli was overjoyed and quickly called out to Feng Shulan: "Mom! Wake up, it's Mengli!"

"No problem," Ye Wutian replied easily, and then instructed the nurse and the librarian, "Sister nurse, could you please help me fetch some silver needles?"

Jiang Senhui was instantly dumbfounded; the notion of being able to awaken a patient with irreversible brain damage was already beyond comprehension, let alone the idea that one could select different functions as if operating a machine.

Meng Li! Upon seeing her daughter appear safe and sound before her, Feng Shulan was undoubtedly overwhelmed with excitement, as her memories were still anchored to the day of the accident.

Such a skillful technique left everyone in awe, and the nurse beside them gasped in surprise.

In fact, Huangdi Xuanyuan in the "Lingshu" encompasses both the "Lingshu Acupuncture Classic" and the "Lingshu Heart Method". Its original intention was to integrate acupuncture and vital energy, forming a therapy that uses needles as the primary means and energy as the auxiliary. As the saying goes: Practicing acupuncture without cultivating qigong is a waste of effort for the doctor and unnecessary suffering for the patient

After making the necessary preparations, Ye Wutian opened the needle box and with a flick of his right hand, surprisingly, four silver needles had already been pinched between the gaps of his five fingers.

Su Mengli blushed and quickly averted her gaze from Ye Wutian's face, but at that moment, she suddenly noticed that her mother's finger had actually twitched.
