Chapter 216: Chapter 207: My Name Is Dan Qing
Chen Feng and Liang Tianze almost couldn’t believe their eyes as they watched Xiao Lin’s hands flying up and down, and stared at the seven gleaming silver needles, dumbfounded.
Because they couldn’t see when exactly those seven silver needles entered the patient’s acupoints, nor could they clearly see Xiao Lin’s hands. What was even stranger was that Xiao Lin’s hands were a blur, leaving only shadows, yet there was no sound, except for the buzzing from one or two of the silver needles.
At this moment, Xiao Lin was fully focused on manipulating the silver needles by tapping, pinching, and flicking them. Near the heart, at the quivering Zhong point, a silver needle was slowly infused with the Nine Dragon True Qi, penetrating into Niu Niu’s mother’s heart veins.
Due to the effect of the previous medicinal paste, the meridians in Niu Niu’s mother’s body were no longer as blocked as two days ago, allowing for a small flow of True Qi.
Xiao Lin’s movements slowed down, yet his expression became more solemn. His right palm was almost touching the Dantian Sea of Qi of Niu Niu’s mother. Xiao Lin wanted to try to see if he could transfer True Qi from the Dantian Sea of Qi inward, but, to Xiao Lin’s disappointment, the Dantian Sea of Qi was as impermeable as it had been two days ago when he used silver needles to transfer the Nine Dragon True Qi. Forcing it would be extremely dangerous.
Xiao Lin dared not rush and only cautiously withdrew the True Qi. However, at that moment, Xiao Lin suddenly had a very strange feeling; Niu Niu’s mother’s Dantian Sea of Qi seemed to be showing signs of enlightenment, producing a very tiny airflow inside, so small that even she herself could not detect it.
"No way? Has she trained in cultivation techniques?" Xiao Lin was taken aback. If she had trained, had True Qi in her body, she wouldn’t be in such a dire situation now.
"Could it be the Profound Lady Heart Scripture taught by Xiaoxue that is working?" Xiao Lin was startled by this thought. The chance of encountering one anomaly was already very small; could it be happening again? How can martial artists in the world cope with this? Moreover, Niu Niu’s mother’s physical condition was not on the same level as Xiaoxue’s; how could she possibly perceive the Qi flow so quickly? Xiao Lin couldn’t believe it himself.
With the infusion of Xiao Lin’s Nine Dragon True Qi, her heart rate gradually stabilized as it flowed into the meridians that once had no vital source in Niu Niu’s mother.
"It’s rising, the heart rate is rising, forty, forty-two, forty-four..." Li Jing exclaimed with joy as she watched the curve on the electrocardiogram slowly rise.
Moreover, other data began to improve slowly with the infusion of Xiao Lin’s True Qi, leaving Chen Feng and Liang Tianze both shocked. They couldn’t understand why just a few little silver needles would have such magical effects. Liang Tianze even muttered to himself, almost deranged, saying, "Witchcraft, this is definitely witchcraft!"
Even though Chen Feng knew the wondrous effects of the Nine Dragon Acupuncture Technique, he hadn’t expected it to be this miraculous, with effects more immediate than any medicine.
"This is the Chinese medicine you’ve always looked down upon, the acupuncture you’ve always belittled, far more effective than those so-called new, scientifically developed medicines. The five-thousand-year civilization of Huaxia has left countless precious treasures beyond what you can imagine!" Chen Feng was in a great mood. He had just been worried about whether Xiao Lin could control the patient’s condition, but now not only was it controlled, there were signs of improvement, leaving him elated.
Of course, the conversations between Liang Tianze and Chen Feng were whispered very quietly, afraid of disturbing Xiao Lin, who was fully focused.
Although the Nine Dragon True Qi that Niu Niu’s mother needed wasn’t much, for Xiao Lin, the True Qi consumed was immense, even more than a dying Dragon Soul Warrior could afford, leaving no room for error.
At this moment, sweat was faintly visible on Xiao Lin’s forehead, and Li Jing gently wiped it away with a white handkerchief. Looking at Xiao Lin’s focused expression, handsome face, she was a bit dazed. However, Li Jing also knew that Xiao Lin was so outstanding that she could only look up to him, and he had a very beautiful and noble girlfriend. Together, they were like a perfect match.
With the continual infusion of the Nine Dragon True Qi, Niu Niu’s mother’s heart condition improved further, finally stabilizing between a heart rate of fifty to fifty-three. Niu Niu’s mother slowly opened her eyes.
Seeing herself dressed in just a bra and the handsome young man in front of her, a rare blush appeared on Niu Niu’s mother’s face, adding a hint of color to her pale complexion. Niu Niu’s mother wasn’t too reactive, feeling the gentle warmth from the silver needles, and her body felt much better than before; her will to survive was reignited.
The room remained silent for twenty minutes. After the Nine Dragon True Qi could no longer be infused, Xiao Lin slowly stopped the transfer, using techniques only to manipulate the silver needles to stimulate the acupoints and activate Niu Niu’s mother’s internal meridians.
"All of you, out!" Xiao Lin thought for a moment, then turned his head to say to Li Jing, Liang Tianze, and Chen Feng.
"You..." Liang Tianze wanted to burst out, but couldn’t find a reason to. He had seen Xiao Lin’s treatment of the patient just now, and there wasn’t much they hadn’t been privy to. What else was there to hide from them?
"Let’s go, Lao Liang!" Chen Feng smiled and persuaded Liang Tianze. With Xiao Lin stabilizing the patient’s condition, he felt proud. It was a rare moment to publicly slap Liang Tianze in the face, and it was quite a satisfying experience. Moreover, witnessing the magical aspects of the Dragon Soul Acupuncture Technique first-hand filled a significant void in his life. He no longer felt any animosity towards Liang Tianze, and his mood was exceedingly pleasant.
"This... a single man and a single woman alone in a room, hmph, I’m not at ease!" Liang Tianze’s mind turned quickly, and his words made Li Jing and Niu Niu’s mother blush slightly as their thoughts drifted slightly askew.
A patient wearing only a bra and a young man full of youthful vigor, alone together in a room?
Taking a closer look at Niu Niu’s mother, although she looked sickly, her features were extremely delicate. Previously, her serious illness had overshadowed her looks. Now, with a closer look, if she were healthy and a bit dressed up, she would undoubtedly be a great beauty, especially with her immensely tender eyes that evoked a sense of compassion.
"You can insult me, but don’t insult my professionalism. If you don’t leave now, I’ll throw you out!" Xiao Lin’s face darkened as he retorted, "Disgracing yourself in old age, do you think of dirty things when treating patients?"
"Haha, Dr. Xiao is right, Old Liang, you’re disgracing yourself in old age. Let’s go!" Chen Feng laughed heartily, dragging Liang Tianze out of the ward.
Liang Tianze, embarrassed and reprimanded by a young man almost the age of his grandson, had lost face completely today, but there was nothing he could do about it.
At that moment, Niu Niu’s mother’s heart rate suddenly increased a bit, and her EKG showed a heart rate rising to sixty, just like a normal person. Listening to Xiao Lin, Niu Niu’s mother initially had her thoughts wander a bit, but the latter part of Xiao Lin’s words corrected her wayward thoughts.
"Dr. Xiao couldn’t possibly be that kind of person. I really shouldn’t have thought that way!" Niu Niu’s mother felt a little ashamed as she looked at Xiao Lin’s righteous expression.
After Li Jing, Liang Tianze, and Chen Feng left, Xiao Lin looked seriously at Niu Niu’s mother and asked, "Did Xiaoxue teach you a set of Qi Gong Heart Method a couple of days ago?"
"Yes, why?" Niu Niu’s mother nodded and asked, "Is there a problem with this Qi Gong Heart Method?"
"Have you practiced Qi Gong before?" Xiao Lin was a bit shocked. Could she be another cultivation prodigy? One Xia Xue was already overwhelming, and now with a seriously ill Niu Niu’s mother, especially in a hospital where the negative energy was heavy, even an ordinary person couldn’t feel the True Qi, right?
Upon hearing Xiao Lin’s question, Niu Niu’s mother felt a bit embarrassed and said, "Yes, I learned a bit from my grandfather when I was young, but I never felt the Qi as he described. I practiced off and on for two or three years but still didn’t feel anything. My grandfather said I wasn’t cut out for martial arts, so I gave up on it."
Hearing this, Xiao Lin breathed a sigh of relief but also felt a bit frustrated. It seemed she wasn’t a cultivation prodigy; she just had a bit of a foundation from her childhood. It’s no wonder she managed to hold on with her almost ruined body for two years.
"It’s no big deal. Maybe the Qi Gong Heart Method your grandfather taught wasn’t suitable for you. Just now, I sensed a very slight Qi in your Sea of Qi. If you persist with Xiaoxue’s cultivation technique, you might not enter the world of martial arts, but at least extending life and beautifying yourself should be attainable!" Xiao Lin said. Niu Niu’s mother could be considered fortunate amidst misfortune. If she diligently practiced, she might gain unexpected results.
Women aren’t usually drawn to the idea of extending their lives, but the appeal of beautification is significant, whether for ordinary women or for someone like Niu Niu’s mother on the brink of life and death. Originally very weak, Niu Niu’s mother’s voice now carried a bit more strength, sounding evidently stronger: "I understand, thank you, Dr. Xiao!"
"You’re welcome. I will take an hour every day to help you strengthen your body. Once you’re strong enough to undergo a kidney transplant, only then can you truly consider your life to be out of danger. During this time, make sure not to do any dangerous movements like before!" Xiao Lin reminded her.
"I understand. I was just worried Dr. Xiao would be misunderstood. Dean Liang is a good person; I don’t wish for good people to fight each other!" Niu Niu’s mother said kindly.
Xiao Lin smiled. Niu Niu’s mother having such a good heart was already enough; he had not saved the wrong person. "By the way, I still don’t know your name. I never know how to address you!" Xiao Lin admitted, feeling a bit embarrassed. He had been coming over several times, always preoccupied with her treatment, never having the chance to ask. Now that her condition had improved, Xiao Lin was in a very good mood.
