CHAPTER 1006: CHAPTER 1003: TREATMENT (PART 1)

"Mr. Yun, take it with spring water." Lin Tian handed the Yin Yang Life Elixir to Yun Hongxi and instructed.

Yun Hongxi received the elixir, and Zi Yan offered a cup of spring water. Without hesitation, the old man tilted his head back and swallowed the Yin Yang Life Elixir.

According to the Yun Family tradition, any medicine given to Mr. Yun must be tested by relevant experts to ensure it’s safe before he can take it. This practice is akin to how emperors used to be given medicine in ancient times. Because Yun Hongxi affects the entire family, the Yun Family has to be cautious.

But this time, not only was Lin Tian allowed to enter the Sea Eye Pavilion to refine the medicine, but Mr. Yun also took the elixir Lin Tian made directly. This trust in Lin Tian has reached the highest level, a privilege even Yun Family members don’t have.

Everyone in the living room watched nervously as Yun Hongxi took the elixir, except Lin Tian, who was the calmest because he knew that even if the Yin Yang Life Elixir couldn’t cure Mr. Yun, it wouldn’t harm his body.

"Dad, how do you feel?" Yun Haoyu couldn’t help but ask after seeing the old man take the elixir.

"It just went down, the effect wouldn’t be that fast..." Mr. Yun smiled and said.

But before he could finish his sentence, his eyes suddenly widened, and his smile vanished. His hands involuntarily gripped the wheelchair’s armrests, his gaze turning fixed.

"Dad..."

"Grandpa..."

"Yun Hongxi..."

Yun Haoyu, Wang Wanxi, and their family, along with Jiang Xiu Ying, stood up abruptly, their faces changing, unable to suppress their exclamations because Mr. Yun’s condition didn’t seem good.

"Everyone, stay back!" Lin Tian suddenly barked coldly, stopping those about to rush over.

Jiang Xiu Ying and the others hesitated for a moment but then stopped, although their faces still showed tension.

"Lin Tian, what happened? Yun Hongxi doesn’t seem well," Jiang Xiu Ying voiced the doubts and concerns of the others.

Lin Tian smiled calmly and said coolly, "Good or not, why don’t you let him tell you?" With that, he flicked his wrist, and a golden thread slithered out like a spirit snake.

"The golden thread of the Ghost Valley Inheritor..." Everyone was murmuring to themselves. They had seen Lin Tian use the golden thread before, during the Famous Doctor Conference to treat the old master. The miracle of it left them amazed to this day, so seeing Lin Tian use the golden thread again slightly calmed their hearts.

Lin Tian held one end of the golden thread, gave it a slight shake, and the spirit snake-like thread instantly straightened out, accurately piercing the center of Yun Hongxi’s brows.

The brow center is the Yintang Acupoint, also known as the Upper Elixir Field or Mud Pill Palace, where a person’s essence, energy, and spirit reside, with the "spirit" residing within the Mud Pill Palace.

After Yun Hongxi consumed the elixir, the sudden impact of its energy stimulated his Divine Soul. Lin Tian’s task was to use acupuncture on the Yintang Acupoint to calm the "spirit."

However, simply calming the spirit wasn’t enough. The mind and spirit are interconnected, yet independent. While calming the spirit, one must also protect the heart.

"Senior Sister, the heart’s five elements belong to fire, and wood generates fire. Use a wood-related method to protect the heart meridian!" Lin Tian instructed Zi Yan in a low voice.

Zi Yan nodded and quickly sterilized then pinched a needle and stabbed it towards the area on the old man’s chest. The two of them combined efforts, their methods dazzling to watch, only Jiang Xiu Ying could discern a bit of the subtlety.

Only Lin Tian and Zi Yan knew the Nine Needle Technique; even Jiang Xiu Ying did not. However, she understood the basic principles of acupuncture. Because she understood a bit, comparing them, she noticed the gap between Zi Yan and Lin Tian.

Lin Tian’s needle technique flowed smoothly and rhythmically like moving clouds, whereas Zi Yan’s was much more clumsy.

Nonetheless, under Lin Tian and Zi Yan’s dual acupuncture, Mr. Yun took a deep breath, his eyes focused and expression returning to normal. Clearly, his scattered spirit had been restored by the "Calm Spirit" acupuncture.

"Dad, what happened to you just now? You scared us." Yun Haoyu sighed in relief and said.

"I’m fine. After the elixir went down, I suddenly felt a rush of warmth erupting in my abdomen, and the impact of it made me a bit dizzy, but I’m much better now. Don’t disturb Xiao Tian and Little Zi’s treatment," Yun Hongxi said calmly, showing more composure than the others as the involved party.

This made Lin Tian very impressed. It’s no wonder he was a seasoned elder with half a century of experience; an average patient would have panicked.

"It’s okay." Everyone sat back down.

"Senior Sister, perform acupuncture on the Fu Tu Acupoint and Jie Xi Acupoint, keeping the needles in place," Lin Tian continued to instruct, ignoring the reactions of others.

The Jie Xi Acupoint is at the midpoint of the depression at the junction of the foot’s dorsum and the calf. Acupuncture here can activate the joints. Because Yun Hongxi’s feet hadn’t moved for a long time, the joints had long become rigid. If not activated, even a recovery of vitality wouldn’t allow him to walk, which was Lin Tian’s intention in choosing the Jie Xi Acupoint.

The Fu Tu Acupoint is located on the outer thigh, a palm’s length from the knee. Acupuncture at the Fu Tu Acupoint can dispel evil, relieve pain, and promote circulation. Zi Yan did not disappoint Lin Tian and quickly located and needled the acupoint. Although her technique was slightly clumsy, no mistakes were made.

Lin Tian further explained the procedure on the spot, enabling Zi Yan to progress rapidly and use the Nine Needle Technique more proficiently.

He himself was not idle; after withdrawing the golden thread from the Yintang Acupoint, he flicked the golden thread again, piercing it accurately into the Lower Elixir Field. Previously, he had pierced the Upper Elixir Field; now, he pierced the Lower Elixir Field. Both places are critical acupoints in the human body, and any error could easily result in impairment or even death.

Yet, Lin Tian consecutively targeted the two major acupoints of the Upper and Lower Elixir Fields, inserting the needles without hesitation. Yun Haoyu and others couldn’t detect anything, but Jiang Xiu Ying, with her acupuncture expertise, was tense with worry for Yun Hongxi, thinking that this young man was indeed bold with his needles.

Nonetheless, Lin Tian’s decisiveness earned her admiration. Hesitation can lead to inaccurate acupoint selection, increasingly likely to cause accidents.

That being said, generally, acupuncturists wouldn’t dare such decisiveness. Only with full confidence would one dare to perform acupuncture like this.

"Elder Jiang, Lin Tian’s acupuncture points are all the Dantian. Among Ancient Martial Artists, these points are critical. Any mistake could easily lead to problems," Wang Wanxi said softly.

"Don’t worry. Lin Tian is not only an Ancient Martial Artist but also an acupuncturist. He understands the importance and danger of the Dantian better than anyone. He won’t act recklessly," Jiang Xiu Ying replied calmly.

While they were discussing, Lin Tian’s golden thread had already pierced into the old man’s Dantian position. The Lower Dantian is the gathering place of vital energy, the root of the twelve meridians, the foundation of the five organs and six viscera, the gateway of breath—in short, it is the hub of the body’s meridians and the source of vitality.

By needling the Lower Dantian, Lin Tian aimed to fully stimulate the medicinal effects of the Yin Yang Life Elixir. In perspective, the Yin Yang Life Elixir had already melted and been absorbed by the old man, its light golden medicinal power spreading between the meridians throughout the body. While this was beneficial to the body, if not properly guided, the medicinal power’s vitality wouldn’t reach the lesions directly.
