How could Zhang Liping and the others know any of this? They just thought the Golden Needles were shaking because they were too thin and didn't even consider it was part of the technique.
Lin Xue, on the other hand, was a nursing major and knew a bit about Acupuncture. Her mouth hung open, her beautiful eyes glittering with astonishnt.
As the one undergoing the treatnt, Huang Shijia was experiencing the miracle firsthand.
When the Golden Needles pierced the acupoints on his body, an intense sensation of soreness, numbness, swelling, and pain erupted from each point. This feeling spread rapidly along their respective ridians toward his heart, where it finally converged into a warm current that continuously washed over his blocked coronary arteries.
The intense, suffocating, constricting pain was greatly alleviated in the process. His consciousness, which had been teetering on the edge of oblivion, was restored.
Zhao Yuan clearly saw the change in Huang Shijia's condition and breathed a silent sigh of relief.
He stood up and said to Zhang Liping and the others, "Don't touch Elder Huang, and don't touch these Golden Needles on his body. I'm going to buy so dicine for his acute myocardial infarction. I'll be right back."
Without waiting for a reply, he strode out of the dance studio.
But after leaving the dance studio, Zhao Yuan didn't actually head to a pharmacy.
'Actually, I have plenty of Chinese dicinal herbs right here in my Storage Ring, including many that invigorate blood and dissolve stasis. But I can't just pull a pile of herbs out of thin air in front of everyone, can I? They'd think I was a Demon! So I had to make an excuse to leave the studio, find an empty corner, and take out the herbs I need.'
'To treat "true heart pain" from Qi stagnation and blood stasis, you need to promote Qi flow, dissolve stasis, invigorate blood, and unblock the vessels. According to the case files, combining Zhishi Xiebai Guizhi Tang with Taohong Siwu Tang is a great option!'
Hiding in a bathroom stall, Zhao Yuan opened his Storage Ring Space. Following the records from the case files, he took out the necessary herbs one by one and put them into a plastic bag.
It was a good thing he'd stored a batch of plastic bags in the Storage Ring Space; otherwise, it would have been a real hassle to get the herbs out, since they were all ground into a fine powder.
At the sa ti, he realized he was missing a few herbs in his Storage Ring Space. After quickly consulting his resources, Zhao Yuan found suitable replacents.
Once he had all the herbs, Zhao Yuan waited a few more minutes before returning to the dance studio. Even so, his round-trip speed still astonished Zhang Liping and the others. 'How long has it been? He's already back with the herbs? Normally, you wouldn't even make it to the campus gate in this amount of ti. He's way too fast.'
Surprised as they were, no one questioned it. In fact, they were glad. The less ti wasted, the sooner Huang Shijia would be out of danger.
"Get a cup of hot water," Zhao Yuan ordered as soon as he entered the dance studio.
Chen Jiao imdiately went to the water cooler and brought back a cup of hot water.
Zhao Yuan poured the mixed dicinal powder into the cup, stirred it a couple of tis, and then carefully helped Huang Shijia drink it.
Under the dual effects of the Acupuncture and the Chinese dicine, Huang Shijia's complexion and breathing gradually returned to normal. The suffocating, constricting pain in his chest vanished completely.
Letting out a long, heavy breath, Huang Shijia grasped Zhao Yuan's hand and said sincerely, "Zhao Yuan, thank you for saving ."
"You're welco." Seeing that Huang Shijia was out of danger, Zhao Yuan smiled and said, "As a doctor, saving lives is my duty and obligation."
"Elder Huang, you're all right? You scared to death just now." Zhang Liping breathed a sigh of relief, but the lingering fear was palpable. She patted her chest and said, "Haven't you always been in robust health? When did you develop this condition?"
"I don't know either," Huang Shijia said with a wry smile. "This was the first ti it's ever happened."
"Elder Huang, you usually have high blood pressure, don't you?" Zhao Yuan asked.
"That's true," Huang Shijia nodded. "My blood pressure is indeed an issue, but since I didn't have any uncomfortable symptoms, I never paid it much mind."
Zhao Yuan explained, "High blood pressure can trigger many diseases, and myocardial infarction is one of them. You have to be much more careful in the future. You can't just ignore it because it doesn't make you feel uncomfortable."
"I see. I'll have to manage my blood pressure from now on."
Huang Shijia had an epiphany, and a wave of fear washed over him. He was lucky Zhao Yuan had been here when it happened; otherwise, his old life would've likely been forfeit. At this thought, he hurriedly thanked Zhao Yuan again.
Zhao Yuan waved his hand and said, "Controlling blood pressure with dication is effective, but it often cos with side effects. I have a Guiding Technique here. As long as you can practice it once every morning and evening, Elder Huang, I guarantee it will bring your blood pressure down to a normal level, strengthen your body, and prolong your life."
Zhao Yuan imdiately taught the Guiding Technique to Huang Shijia. Zhang Liping and the others also watched and learned diligently from the side. Although they didn't have high blood pressure, they also wanted to learn the Guiding Technique to improve their health.
What Zhao Yuan taught wasn't the Four Saints Technique, of course, but a common Guiding Technique recorded in the case files. It was said to have been adapted by the famous physician Zhang Zhongjing of the Late Eastern Han Dynasty from Hua Tuo's Five Animals Qigong. Though it was just a common Guiding Technique, its effects on strengthening the body were excellent—far better than sothing like plaza dancing!
After learning the Guiding Technique, Huang Shijia gave up any thought of persuading Zhao Yuan to abandon dicine for music.
'Even though I don't understand dicine,' he thought, 'I know that the skills Zhao Yuan just displayed are definitely not sothing an ordinary dical student could possess! Even so famous, clinically experienced doctors might not have done a better job! It's clear from this that Zhao Yuan's talent for dicine is truly imnse!'
With a sigh, Huang Shijia said, "Student Zhao Yuan, if you ever change your mind in the future, my door will always be open for you!"
" too," Zhang Liping chid in, though she felt a deep sense of regret. Her mood only lifted slightly when she thought of the Cloud Flying Immortal dance. Rembering sothing, she quickly asked, "Student Zhao Yuan, can your Cloud Flying Immortal dance be released to the public?"
Huang Shijia hurriedly added, "And the Cloud Flying Immortal music! And the other ten pieces."
"You can," Zhao Yuan nodded.
'Releasing this music and dance will earn so Wish Power, so why wouldn't I?' he thought.
Huang Shijia's and Zhang Liping's regrets were finally eased sowhat.
Zhao Yuan thought for a mont, then added a condition: "But you'll have to wait until after the New Year's Gala. The Cloud Flying Immortal dance and music are what I've prepared for it. I'd rather not see a whole bunch of Cloud Flying Immortals on stage when the ti cos."
There was no doubt that releasing the Cloud Flying Immortal music and dance would cause a huge sensation and that people would be scrambling to imitate it.
"The New Year's Gala?" Zhang Liping asked casually. "Which one? The central state television gala? Or the one on Capital City TV or Mango TV?"
'In her opinion, Cloud Flying Immortal was more than qualified to appear on any of those stages. In fact, it wouldn't be an honor for Cloud Flying Immortal to be on those stages—it would be an honor for those stages to have Cloud Flying Immortal.'
"None of them," Zhao Yuan said, shaking his head. "It's for our school's joint departnt New Year's Gala."
"What?!"
Huang Shijia and Zhang Liping were dumbfounded.
'You created a masterpiece like Cloud Flying Immortal for a joint departnt New Year's Gala? Could you be any more extravagant?! How is that any different from using an anti-aircraft cannon to shoot a mosquito?'
For a mont, the two art masters didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
