"Yeah, Yu, this isn't our Jiuzhitang's responsibility at all."
"Yu, what good does it do to call a young man over? You don't even have a handle on this old lady's condition."
Some of the traditional Chinese medicine practitioners nearby also frowned and said.
In the field of traditional Chinese medicine, the longer you stay, the more experience you gain. Yu was the most experienced senior practitioner in Jiuzhitang, yet he was completely helpless with the old lady's condition.
It's not that he didn't have methods, but those methods were completely useless!
The old lady now has her breath faintly hanging, holding on by just one thread of life, which could break at any moment leading to death, making it too risky to treat her casually.
Neither prescribing medicine nor using acupuncture is possible; her body can't withstand the effects of medicine, and acupuncture wouldn't be very effective.
Yu Guanyi naturally knew this, which is why he invited Ren Feng over.
Although ordinary acupuncture is useless, Ren Feng's acupuncture is different; he wields needles with True Qi and has mastered acupuncture techniques.
Yu Guanyi did not speak; he just watched Ren Feng, while Ren Feng approached the old lady and checked her pulse, frowning immediately.
The pulse was chaotic and weak, her breath faintly hanging, at any moment she might die!
The middle-aged man nearby coldly said, "What can a young man like you see? Even Yu from Jiuzhitang couldn't understand her condition, and you think you can?"
Ren Feng didn't speak, his face solemn, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
No doubt, the old woman was teetering on the brink of death, pulling her back would be no easy task.
If medication were used, the effects might harm her before they could take effect, and ordinary acupuncture would have no impact.
Sending her to a hospital was out of the question; in her condition, she'd be left to die.
Ren Feng pondered.
"Are you capable or not? If not, move aside; I need to settle things with these Jiuzhitang quacks." The man said coldly.
"The old lady's condition seems to be caused by heat blockage, coupled with severe chill, triggering wind-cold due to old age and a frail body leading to the current state." Ren Feng said calmly from the side.
The middle-aged man was stunned, his eyes full of disbelief, "You're talking nonsense; my grandma took medication from Jiuzhitang yesterday and woke up like this the next day."
Ren Feng ignored him. The surrounding practitioners all showed admiration, impressive indeed; this young man truly had skills.
Lu Duo'er sat not far away, watching Ren Feng's contemplative look, feeling somewhat pleased inside.
"Duo'Er, I didn't expect you to fancy him; who knows how many boys at school will feel heartbroken now." Hu Ling remarked on the side, playfully blinking.
"Ling'Er, stop talking nonsense." Lu Duo'Er's face seemed to blush slightly, snorting, "The one I fancy must be a hero."
Ren Feng now had a resolution; to pull the old lady back from the brink of death, he must use that acupuncture technique.
"Prepare hot water, alcohol!"
Ren Feng shouted, the practitioners were stunned, looking at Yu Guanyi.
"Quickly, go."
Yu Guanyi instructed.
Soon, the items were brought over, and Ren Feng took out a cloth strip wrapped with silver needles from his bosom.
Does he carry silver needles with him?
The practitioners found it odd, while the middle-aged man coldly said, "If you can't save my granny, I'll hold you accountable!"
Ren Feng frowned, looking at the man, "Firstly, saving her is not an obligation, I bear no responsibility; secondly, while I'm trying to save her, you better shut your foul mouth!"
"What did you say?" The middle-aged man was somewhat furious.
"Noise!"
Ren Feng flicked his finger, True Qi breaking through the air, pointing at the man's mute point, making him discover to his shock and terror, he couldn't speak.
The man covered his throat, his face full of disbelief, and the other practitioners were in utter astonishment.
Could someone lose his ability to speak with just a casual gesture?
Could this be the legendary acupoint pressing?
"Wow, Duo'Er, he's amazing." Hu Ling's eyes were full of admiration.
Hearing Hu Ling's praise, Lu Duo'Er felt a small sense of pride inside.
"Someone help me lift her up." Ren Feng said to the practitioners.
Immediately, two practitioners stepped up to assist in lifting the old lady, having witnessed Ren Feng's terrifying acupoint pressing earlier, they subconsciously trusted him a little more.
"Lift her clothes." Ren Feng said calmly.
The two practitioners complied.
Ren Feng held the silver needle, sterilized it over the flame, and flicked it, producing a crisp sound.
True Qi was already injected, and with a swift stroke, like a dragonfly skimming water, he directly swung towards the old lady's body.
With just a single action, a silver needle stood poised at the lady's waist, trembling.
Yu Guanyi's eyes sparkled as he watched intently, but Ren Feng's speed was too fast; within the blink of an eye, a second silver needle was already placed at another of the lady's waist acupoints.
Ren Feng applied a gentle hand, lightly rubbing the needle after insertion, allowing True Qi to disperse quickly.
Everyone in Jiuzhitang watched Ren Feng's actions, barely daring to breathe, the practitioners' eyes filled with astonishment.
How could this young man's acupuncture be so proficient?
Ren Feng just kept pinching the needle and inserting it, six consecutive needles, respectively into the old lady's waist and abdomen, three on each side, moving upward in sequence.
What kind of acupuncture technique is this?
Yu Guanyi was a bit puzzled, but suddenly, when he saw Ren Feng standing up with another needle, a trace of disbelief flashed in his eyes: Could it be that technique?
At this moment, Ren Feng looked serious, letting his True Qi spread out, sensing the situation inside the old lady's body. That trace of vitality had not been lost, being safeguarded by the first six needles.
Even that last breath was sustained this way, waking her up would be easy, but Ren Feng's goal extended far beyond that.
Only by restoring a bit of vitality within the old lady's organs could she possibly survive.
A gleam of light flashed in Ren Feng's eyes, and the silver needle in his hand was directly inserted into the top of the old lady's head!
"Seven Star Life-locking Needle!"
Yu Guanyi was shocked, unable to help but shout out loud.
The surrounding few Chinese medicine practitioners, after being stunned, also showed alarm on their faces.
Isn't the Seven Star Life-locking Needle a lost technique?
It is said that this technique was invented by Marquis Wu, Zhuge Liang. Back then, he used the Seven-Star Lamp at Wuzhangyuan to extend his life; this method complements it, yielding quite significant effects.
But unfortunately, the technique got lost.
Is this young man really using the Seven Star Life-locking Needle?
At this moment, in Ren Feng's eyes, there was only the old lady. After applying the Seven Star Life-locking Needle, under the sensation of True Qi, several key organs within her body seemed to be waking up.
Furthermore, Ren Feng grabbed the burning alcohol and water with one hand and then pressed it on the old lady's body.
This was to remove the chill from the old lady's body.
The middle-aged man stood beside him, making unintelligible sounds, not knowing what he was saying.
Lu Duo'er and Hu Ling were also watching curiously, and at this moment those Chinese medicine practitioners were extremely tense.
Would she really wake up?
Was it really the Seven Star Life-locking Needle?
And the next second, someone's eyes lit up with joy: "She's awake!"
Everyone quickly looked over, and sure enough, the old lady slowly opened her eyes, looking confused.
"She really woke up!"
These Chinese medicine practitioners were simply stunned, Yu Guanyi's eyes also filled with shock. The Seven Star Life-locking Needle, was it actually real?
But actually, this method isn't as exaggerated as imagined. At most, it prolongs life by several days on the original basis; inevitably, she would still die. After all, the old lady is too old now, and without the help of exotic medicines, Ren Feng can't do much.
The middle-aged man, seeing the old lady awake, was full of shock and joy, and hurriedly came up.
Ren Feng put away the silver needle and walked towards Yu Guanyi.
"Young friend, thank you so much this time." Yu Guanyi said sincerely.
"No worries, we both practice Chinese medicine. At the very least, I still have medical ethics." Ren Feng smiled slightly.
"Then young friend, stay a bit after, and let me treat you to a meal as a token of gratitude, and then we can discuss this acupuncture technique?" Yu Guanyi said warmly.
To Yu Guanyi, Ren Feng now seemed full of mystery, as if he embodied the last hope of Chinese medicine, for who would have thought Ren Feng mastered a lost technique?
"I can't." Ren Feng shook his head, "I have something to do later."
What's the point of eating with an old man? If I'm eating, it should be with beautiful women.
Ren Feng thought speechlessly, and Yu Guanyi looked a bit disappointed.
He walked over to the two girls, Lu Duo'er and Hu Ling, and smiled slightly.
"It's all done. Are you going shopping later or heading back?"
"Of course, we're going shopping. You can keep Duo'er company." Hu Ling said with a smile.
"Don't be silly." Lu Duo'er tugged at Hu Ling's hand, then said to Ren Feng, "We'll go back later; we have classes tonight."
"Let me see you off then." Ren Feng nodded.
The three of them went out together, and the middle-aged man came after them, yelling "Ah, ah, ah," but unable to say anything, looking at Ren Feng with urgency.
Ren Feng glanced back at him and said indifferently, "In twelve hours, you'll return to normal, consider it a small punishment for you."
Lu Duo'er looked at the man's anxious expression and couldn't help but burst into laughter. This man really deserved it; he talked too much.
As they left Jiuzhitang, the threshold was like the high thresholds of ancient times. The three crossed over, but Lu Duo'er accidentally tripped.
"Ah!" Lu Duo'er shrieked.
"Careful."
Ren Feng reached out to catch her, holding Lu Duo'er in his arms, and his body leaned forward as well.
Lu Duo'er landed in Ren Feng's embrace, and at the same time, as she just opened her eyes, she saw Ren Feng's face close coming towards her.
Mmh!
Suddenly, Lu Duo'er froze, and Ren Feng also stopped, because due to an unexpected situation just now, their lips had directly touched!
Could this be considered an accidental kiss?
