Director Jiang’s eyes lit up, and he smiled mysteriously, "Secretary Qin, you’re in luck today."
Secretary Qin looked pained and asked pitifully, "From where does my luck co?"
"Younger Brother Xu, Divine Doctor Xu is here. Let him take a look at your illness. Isn’t that a hundred tis better than going to the hospital?"
Dean Zhang also thumped his chest confidently and said, "Secretary Qin, with Advisor Xu helping you, your chronic ailnt will surely improve, and your back won’t hurt like this anymore."
Hearing Director Jiang and Dean Zhang say this, a glimr of hope appeared in Secretary Qin’s previously despairing eyes, but seeing how young Xu Xiangbei looked and not at all like a doctor, he hesitated.
He watched the entire process of Xu Xiangbei treating Xiao Xinwen, unable to discern any mystery. Was placing a finger on the forehead considered treatnt? Could it really cure?
Knowing that Secretary Qin didn’t believe in him, Xu Xiangbei proactively said, "Let try. Don’t bla if it doesn’t work, Secretary Qin."
Secretary Qin smiled, "Then let’s give it a try, sorry for the trouble, young brother."
He had Secretary Qin lie face down on the sofa, gently patting his waist, observing Secretary Qin’s expression, and casually chatting, "Secretary Qin, how did you get this ailnt? Can you tell ?"
Recalling how his back pain started, Secretary Qin beca quite emotional, "When I was young, I supported rural construction, working tirelessly day and night, carrying cent or stones. I developed this ailnt back then. Now, if I stand for too long, my back gets sore and painful, sotis so much that I can’t straighten my waist."
As Secretary Qin spoke, Xu Xiangbei suddenly slapped hard, causing Secretary Qin’s face to contort in pain, "That hurts, it really hurts here."
Xu Xiangbei smiled and continued patting Secretary Qin’s back, hitting another spot that made Secretary Qin cry out and tremble all over.
Director Jiang and Dean Zhang held their breath, watching, afraid to make a sound. They had seen Xu Xiangbei’s treatnt thods before; it always seed to cause unbearable pain, but yielded better results.
After a simple patting massage and observing Secretary Qin’s reaction, Xu Xiangbei had a rough idea.
He gently said, "Secretary Qin, your Du ridian is severely damaged. No wonder it hurts so much that you can’t straighten your waist. However, by unblocking a few key acupoints and combining it with so physical training, you can basically recover."
Hearing that he could recover, Secretary Qin felt a stir in his heart, "Oh, last year at the People’s Hospital’s TCM departnt, Director Tang examined and had stay in the hospital for a month. He said this ailnt cannot be cured, only the pain can be alleviated."
Upon hearing Secretary Qin ntion Director Tang, Xu Xiangbei looked disdainful, "You an that quack Director Tang? You must not believe him."
"Do I need to be hospitalized this ti?"
"No need for hospitalization. I can cure you in just fifteen minutes, but it will hurt a bit, you’ll have to endure it."
Secretary Qin displayed a proud expression, "I’ve never been afraid of pain..."
Xu Xiangbei’s eyes flashed with mockery, "Then here I go."
With that, Xu Xiangbei clenched his fist and delivered a harsh blow to Secretary Qin’s Mingn point.
Secretary Qin felt as if his back were breaking, the intense pain spreading in all directions, so much that his heart almost stopped beating.
He cried out, blurting out a curse, "Damn, that really hurts, but I can bear it."
Xu Xiangbei struck his Yaoyangguan point again, scoffing, "That was only the beginning."
Secretary Qin felt as if thousands of steel needles were continuously stabbing in and out of his back, the pain making his eyes nearly pop out.
Director Jiang and the others watching couldn’t bear it and turned their faces away.
Secretary Qin’s face turned pale, his mouth agape, yet no sound ca out. Only after the pain subsided a bit did he gasp, "Is this treating an ailnt, or trying to kill ?"
Xu Xiangbei squinted and smiled, "After all these years, your ridians are completely blocked. To unblock them, it will definitely be painful, but you’re indeed stronger than the average person. If it were soone else, they’d likely have passed out after two punches."
Secretary Qin complained, "Couldn’t you give so anesthetic?"
"Absolutely no anesthetics, this is all about stimulating the nerves and unblocking the ridians. How could anesthesia be used? Don’t worry, the worst pain is over. It hurts before it feels good. You’ll feel more comfortable now."
Secretary Qin was drenched in cold sweat, smiling wryly, "I never knew what it felt like for revolutionary martyrs to endure torture. Today, I’ve experienced a taste."
Not only was Secretary Qin sweating all over, but Xu Xiangbei’s back was also soaked. These punches had consud a lot of his Inner Strength.
Using qi to form needles, although he only used two needles, each divided into light and heavy, quick and slow, with more than ten changes. Unlike treating Master Liu and Jiang Xinwen, this ti he used heavy needles, consuming more Inner Strength.
For Secretary Qin’s chronic ailnt, a combination of light and heavy treatnts yields better results.
Xu Xiangbei took a deep breath, gently pinched his fingers to form a needle shape, and a thread of extrely fine Inner Strength penetrated Secretary Qin’s Mingn point.
Just as Secretary Qin was speaking, suddenly, he felt a warm current spreading from the most painful spot, like spring breeze driving away the harsh cold, making him feel very comfortable.
This warmth gradually spread through his limbs and bones, warming his chest, back, and even his lower abdon.
He felt like a traveler who had traversed a desert for a long ti, suddenly entering a lush oasis, drinking from clear springs, revitalizing his nearly depleted life force.
He then realized the sa effect Xu Xiangbei had when treating Xiao Xinwen, though the movents were simple, Xiao Xinwen had an extraordinary feeling, which is why the child’s expressions changed so dramatically.
He seed to forget the ti, forget himself, until Director Jiang gently called his na by his ear, and he gradually ca back to his senses.
"What happened to ?"
"You slept for ten minutes."
He jumped off the couch; the stabbing pain between his spinal bones was gone. He bent over slightly, and was surprised to touch his feet without his back hurting at all.
The pain that had plagued him for decades disappeared, making him feel like he was in a dream, "It’s really healed, how is that possible. Young brother, you’ve really got so skills, thank you."
Secretary Qin excitedly shook hands with Xu Xiangbei, who was exhausted and leaning back on the couch, now it was his turn to take a good rest. Combining light and heavy techniques with qi-concentrating needles nearly depleted all his Inner Strength.
He took out a cigarette, lit it softly, and took a deep inhale, "Secretary Qin, you’ll need at least two more needle treatnts to completely clear the ridians. Today was the first, and we’ll need to continue tomorrow, or else it will be all for naught."
