Director Zheng said, "Secretary Long, prepare yourself ntally. I've done all I can. As for this young man, I think it's best to be cautious."
Luo Chao didn't listen to their conversation. He was focused on how to administer acupuncture to Xiang i. His brows furrowed; it was indeed a bit tricky.
Upon hearing Director Zheng's words, all the doctors exchanged glances and understandingly left the ward. After a mont, Director Zheng returned with a piece of paper, freshly printed from a computer. The paper stated that any consequences from the treatnt conducted by non-hospital personnel would not be the hospital's responsibility!
One must admit that Director Zheng was ticulous. He had thought of this as well. Even though Long Zhenguo was an upright person and unlikely to cause trouble for the hospital if any issues arose, it was still best for both parties to have this disclair signed.
Long Zhenguo nodded, "Director Zheng, you're thorough," he said as he bent down, signing his na on the disclair in a few swift strokes.
Just as Director Zheng was about to open the door and leave, his eyes suddenly lit up, "I wonder if I could stay and watch how this young man treats and saves lives."
Long Zhenguo consulted Luo Chao, "Brother Luo, what do you think?"
Luo Chao replied without looking back, "As long as he doesn't disturb !"
Zheng Hai secretly sneered, thinking it seed like a show, and stood beside Long Zhenguo, watching without a word.
Luo Chao began. He took a peach wood box from his pocket, drew out a silver needle, and sterilized it with a lighter. As he inserted the needle, a wisp of white gas erged from his fingertip—
When Zheng Hai saw this, his pupils widened in shock, muttering inwardly, Is this—True Qi? It's actually True Qi!
As an experienced doctor of 60 years, how could Zheng Hai not have heard of "True Qi"? It was rumored to be a secret of the Ancient Martial Realm, with few masters able to cultivate it. Only by tapping into one's potential and transcending human limits could one master this secret technique. It was a mysterious power obtained through rigorous training.
So young, yet wielding such a treasure, using the silver needle as a dium, imbuing True Qi with it and piercing the ridians to achieve miraculous effects. Watching as he inserted the needle and the True Qi entered through the acupoint, Zheng Hai was stunned as the conduits gently trembled!
Zheng Hai's eyes showed disbelief. This acupuncture technique seed vaguely ntioned in so ancient texts, though very ancient ones!
This young man was extraordinary, truly extraordinary! Director Zheng felt his heart start pounding, watching Luo Chao insert needle after needle, with a technique never seen before—both magnificent and simple, each needle carrying a wisp of True Qi from the external to the internal.
Droplets of sweat trickled down Luo Chao's face. The exhaustion from expending True Qi combined with extre concentration made him feel completely drained.
As the seventeenth needle was inserted, an eerie scene unfolded. The seventeen needles seed to beco one, trembling slightly together, and Zheng Hai let out a scream, "It's—the Eighteen Needles of Returning to Life—!"
Having read extensively and collected ancient books, Zheng Hai recalled ntions of the Eighteen Needles of Returning to Life in a classical text, detailing its effects of using True Qi as a dium, piercing acupoints with silver needles, and bringing the dead back to life!
At this mont, as the seventeen silver needles vibrated collectively, Xiang i slowly opened her eyes. However, after a faint smile, Luo Chao collapsed.
Director Zheng could hardly contain his excitent, trembling all over, his upper and lower teeth chattering with such intensity he felt faint.
The Eighteen Needles of Returning to Life—defying fate and reviving the dead. Such miraculous acupuncture technique truly existed in this world! Zheng Hai, filled with unimaginable joy, shouted excitedly.
"Mom!" As Xiang i opened her eyes, Long Zhenguo burst into tears, joyously gripping her hand.
Looking at him, Xiang i forced a smile, "Zhenguo, what's wrong? I'm not dead yet, am I?"
Long Zhenguo, both crying and laughing, said, "Mom, what are you saying? You almost died!"
Xiang i chuckled. "Even if I'm not dead now, I don't have much ti left." Despite knowing her ti was short, Xiang i was optimistic. After all, she had such an accomplished, filial son, with nothing more to worry about.
"Mom, you don't have to die," Long Zhenguo held her hand tightly, excitedly said.
Xiang i glared at him. "You silly boy, are you regressing? Don't I know what illness I have?"
With terminal colon cancer, she hadn't heard of anyone surviving it. Xiang i thought her son must be overly grief-stricken, losing his mind, so she touched his hand and sighed deeply, "Zhenguo, everyone faces birth and death. Don't be too sad. Look at how it's worn you down, you've gone silly."
Long Zhenguo, increasingly tearful, cried out, "Mom, I'm not silly. I'm telling the truth. See for yourself, don't you feel better?"
Seeing her son's earnest eyes, Xiang i paused. She felt her body, her eyes suddenly dazed. Her intestines hardly hurt anymore, and her stomach felt no discomfort. Incredibly, she felt much better!
Long Zhenguo saw his mother's astonished eyes, smiled amid tears, and said, "Mom, I was right. You really are better!"
Who wouldn't want to live longer? Of course, Xiang i wanted to see her adorable grandson grow up. Her face lit up with joy as she gazed at Director Zheng, gratefully saying, "It must be Director Zheng who saved . Director Zheng, truly a renowned doctor, thank you so much."
"Ah—" Zheng Hai blushed deeply, feeling awkward. Earlier, he had asked Secretary Long to prepare for the worst, unexpectedly, Xiang i was improving, her face rosy, resuscitated, a miracle indeed!
However, Xiang i's words felt like a slap, making Director Zheng's face as red as an apple, utterly embarrassed. He coughed a few tis, saying, "Actually, Comrade Xiang i, it wasn't who saved you. Your condition was beyond us doctors."
"Then who saved ? With late-stage cancer, I can't have healed on my own," Xiang i exclaid in surprise.
