Chapter 21
I will be begging on my knees?
At first, Sun Zhaonian was stunned . Subsequently, he scoffed . He waved and pointed at Ye Chen as he said, “Beat him up and take him away!”
He was the Medicine King . Why would he kneel to an imbecile? What kind of joke was that?!
People would die of laughter if this incident got out .
“Hold up!” Lin Fan, who was standing aside, stopped the people who were advancing all of a sudden . He looked at Ye Chen in mockery and said,” I grew up in the mountain since I was young and I’ve learned about medicines since I was six . I’ve read all the medical books that were available by eight, started treating people when I was nine, and mastered thousands of odd diseases by 15…”
Sun Zhaonian had admiration written all over his face while the few old Chinese doctors present exclaimed . If Lin Fan was telling the truth, he was undoubtedly a medical genius!
Ye Chen looked calm as he asked, “Oh, so are you a master who just emerged from a cave?”
“In the whole wide world, nobody dares say that they’re No . 1 in medicine while I, Lin Fan, call myself No . 2 . What does a piece of trash like you have to be competing with me?” Lin Fan acted majestically as if he was going to suppress everything .
Ye Chen grinned and waved . “Oh, no, no, no . You’ve misunderstood . In reality, I never wanted to compare myself with you . The reason being, you’re nothing to me!”
As soon as Ye Chen was done speaking, the smile on Lin Fan’s face froze . His face turned green and pale . Never had he thought that he would get such a heart-breaking comment in return for his mockery .
Seeing his expression, Sun Zhaonian’s heart sank . Subsequently, he instructed with killing intent clear on his face, “Break this brat’s arms and legs, then get rid of him . ”
It had taken a great effort for Sun Zhaonian to bring Lin Fan here . If Ye Chen chased him away, it would be hopeless for his daughter .
Lin Fan chuckled out of nowhere which was odd . He said with a provocative expression on his face, “Do you dare to bet, brat?”
“Bet on what?” Ye Chen looked at him with interest .
“If I manage to treat Ms . Sun’s illness, you’ll kowtow thrice, have an arm broken, and leave after kneeling to me . ”
“What if you fail to treat her?” Ye Chen raised his brows and challenged . Nobody knew if he was smiling inside .
“I’ll definitely win the bet!”
“If you fail to treat her, you’ll give me this,” Ye Chen interrupted . He could not help but stare at the piece of jade on his waist .
Lin Fan’s expression shifted a few times . “Sure!”
Sun Zhaonian glared stubbornly at Ye Chen and hesitated as he spoke, “Mr . Lin, er…”
Lin Fan then waved and said, “Speak no more, Old Sun . All you’ll need to do is watch this brat for me . Don’t let him run away . ”
“Don’t worry, Mr . Lin . ” Sun Zhaonian nodded and subsequently ordered his underlings to guard the door because he was worried that Ye Chen might run away .
“Please open your peasant eyes and watch!” Lin Fan scoffed at Ye Chen and walked up to the bed . He had gotten the people to remove all the medical equipment before he held Sun Sirong’s wrist up . After checking her pulse, he turned his head and said to Sun Zhaonian while looking confident, “Ms . Sun has cold constitution, but it can be treated!”
Sun Zhaonian was over the moon .
Subsequently, Lin Fan took out a cloth pouch, revealing a row of gleaming silver needles of various sizes .
That alone dismissed the doubts of everyone in the room . An old Chinese doctor said while trembling, “I-is he going to perform acupuncture?”
Lin Fan inserted the needles into Sun Sirong’s main acupoints including the Heaven Projection, the Origin Pass, the Bird Tail, and the middle of the chest . He went both deep and shallow, plucking and poking, pressing and removing . The series of motions made everyone’s jaws drop as they watched .
“Th-this is the Mountain Burning Manipulation!”
The old Chinese doctor who was treating her earlier did not dare blink as he watched what Lin Fan was doing . He had shock written all over his face . “I can’t believe that the young man is using the Mountain Burning Manipulation method . My goodness!”
“Old Wang, what is this Mountain Burning Manipulation that you’re talking about?” Sun Zhaonian asked with both joy and irritation .
Everyone could not help but focus on Old Wang .
Old Wang gulped and spoke rather emotionally, “The Mountain Burning Manipulation is one of the two divine skills of the Immortal Taiyi Acupuncture . It is also the treasure that Chinese doctors of all generations in China covet . It is said that it can restore the patient’s vitality, keeping many diseases at bay and even reviving a person . ”
“Immortal Taiyi Acupuncture? Isn’t that an extinct skill? How did you recognize it, Sir?” another doctor exclaimed in disbelief .
Old Wang shook his head and said absolutely, “I’m sure of it . I read about it in the Huangdi Neijing before . The Immortal Taiyi Acupuncture is divided into the Mountain Burning Manipulation and the Heavenly Cool-inducing Technique . It tests a person’s skill to the core whether to go from shallow first to deep or the reverse, to go easy or hard, to perform the nine-six reinforcing-reducing method, or to remove or insert . ”
As Old Wang was done speaking, the room fell into dead silence . Everyone had their eyes wide open as they watched Lin Fan in disbelief . Nobody expected this young man to master an extinct skill such as the Immortal Taiyi Acupuncture .
Sun Zhaonian could not hide his excitement .
Since Mr . Lin knew the Immortal Taiyi Acupuncture, his daughter would be cured . He could not help but observe Ye Chen who was sitting aside as he thought about this point while secretly scoffing .
Let’s see what you’ve got to say later!
Ye Chen watched what was happening while sitting on the chair calmly . There was a mischievous expression on his face .
Soon, Old Wang’s choking voice came, “It’s the Heavenly Cool-inducing Technique alright . Never have I thought I’d see both divine skills of the Immortal Taiyi Acupuncture while I’m alive . ”
Someone asked, “How can you tell, Sir?”
“Look closely, all of you!” Old Wang took a deep breath and said, “The silver needles were approximately an inch beneath the skin . The single inch is divided into three sections, which are the heaven, earth, and human points . That young man lifted the needle nine times when he inserted it into the heaven point . This is called tonifying in the book . He needs to lift nine times each when he inserts the needle into the earth and human points, which is also called sedating . In other words, he needs to lift the needle 27 times within that one inch . ”
The people could not help but inhale sharply .
Could a human really do that?
As they were discussing, Lin Fan, who was performing the healing, was covered in sweat . Clearly, the series of performances was draining .
“The younger generation shouldn’t be underestimated indeed!” Old Wang exclaimed while he sobbed gleefully . He turned his head and said to Sun Zhaonian, “Director Sun, Ms . Sun is definitely be cured since this man is here!”
Sun Zhaonian looked at Sun Sirong by instinct . He could not help but release a deep sigh of relief upon seeing that his daughter looked better now though she was still unconscious .
At the same time, Lin Fan removed the needles instantly and got up after tucking Sun Sirong in . He wiped his sweat away and said while appearing exhausted, “Old Sun, I’ve done what I promised . I’ve treated Ms . Sun’s illness . ”
“Thank you, Mr . Lin!” Sun Zhaonian said with a bow .
Old Wang went to him immediately and spoke while shaking, “Brother, I mean, Master Lin, may I ask if you just performed the Immortal Taiyi Acupuncture?”
“That’s right . It was . ” Though exhausted, Lin Fan was proud of himself . Subsequently, he said to Ye Chen with a glint in his eye, “I’ve treated her illness . Now, kneel, kowtow thrice to me and break an arm!”
Ye Chen remained sitting still .
“Come get this brat to kneel!” Sun Zhaonian’s expression turned cold as he said while waving .
A few hunks rushed into the room instantly and walked towards Ye Chen . Nonetheless, Ye Chen remained still . He looked at Lin Fan with a smile that did not look sincere . “Is she really healed?”
“Of course…” Lin Fan scoffed . Just when he was going to speak further, an exclaim came behind him all of a sudden, “Everyone, l-look! Ms . Sun is…She’s…”
They turned around to look immediately . They saw Sun Sirong’s body twitching uncontrollably . At the same time, there was a chill coming out of her body, whereby frost would turn into ice when it encountered the air . In the blink of an eye, Sun Sirong’s brows and even her hair were frozen .
From afar, she looked like a frozen statue .
Someone peered at the equipment on the side and stammered weakly, “M-Ms . Sun is…dead!”
The dramatic change that came out of nowhere shocked everyone .
Thud!
Sun Zhaonian rushed over and extended his hand to check on Sun Sirong’s breath . Subsequently, he shuddered . There was a humming in his head as though he had been struck by lightning .
Lin Fan went over to check as well . He screamed in disbelief, “H-How did this happen? It can’t be! It can’t be! I performed the Immortal Taiyi Acupuncture . ”
“The Immortal Taiyi Acupuncture? Oh, please!”
The people heard a scoff of disdain from behind . They turned their heads to see Ye Chen enunciating to Lin Fan while sitting on the chair, “You’re drowned in sweat and panting from treating a minor disease . I must say, you’re truly a genius . ”
“You…” Lin Fan was enraged .
Ye Chen interrupted him with a scowl, “The thing is that you’re all bark and no bite . You’re just a piece of crap! How could a piece of crap like you dare to boast that you’re No . 2 in medicine in the whole wide world? You dared to say that you’ve been learning medicine since you were six? Are you really a master who just came out of a cave? Go back and learn for a couple of years before you embarrass yourself out here! Piece of crap! Pfft!”
Lin Fan pointed at Ye Chen as he rumbled in rage . He spat a mouthful of blood out from the rage that attacked his heart as he roared, “Y-You won’t be able to treat her since I failed!”
“Haha! Do you think I’m you? You piece of crap!” Ye Chen looked up at Sun Zhaonian and smiled lightly, “Sun Zhaonian, do you remember what I said?”
Sun Zhaonian started abruptly and walked to Ye Chen quickly . He begged while bowing, “Mr . Ye, please forgive what I did and save my daughter . I’ll reward you handsomely!”
Ye Chen lit a cigarette and brushed the bottom of his pants with his head low . He puffed a smoke ring out lightly .
“Do you want to save her? Beg on your knees!”
