CHAPTER 1007: CHAPTER 1004: TREATMENT (PART 2)

The medicinal power of the elixir settles between the meridians throughout the body. Although it strengthens Mr. Yun’s physique, it did not effectively treat his legs, essentially wasting a precious Yin Yang Life Elixir.

Lin Tian wouldn’t let such a thing happen. By performing acupuncture on the Lower Elixir Field, he controlled the energy flow, using the Nine Needle Technique to stimulate the circulation of qi and blood, concentrating the elixir’s medicinal power to impact Mr. Yun’s legs.

Others saw Lin Tian’s hand holding the gold thread as unmoving, yet only the Ancient Martial Artist Wang Wanxi could see clearly. Lin Tian’s hand was subtly trembling, but because the amplitude was negligible and the vibration frequency was high, an ordinary person’s Physical Eye couldn’t discern it.

Within Yun Hongxi’s body, the qi and blood mixed with a light golden medicinal power followed the meridians, launching an impact on the legs. The previously blocked meridians kept opening under this force of impact.

Mr. Yun, however, felt something different; he sensed a burst of warm flow heading towards his legs, and most incredibly, these legs had been numb for twenty years, yet now he felt a sense of warmth.

"I can feel my legs!" Yun Hongxi couldn’t help but say.

No matter how composed he was in the past, at this moment, he couldn’t suppress the joy in his heart. Twenty years had passed, his legs were clearly on his body, yet for twenty years, he couldn’t feel hot or cold, pain or ache—this kind of suffering, outsiders could never understand.

Yun Haoyu and several others stood up again, this time not out of fright, but with excitement and joy. The legs have sensation; could this be a sign of recovery?

"Xiao Tian, are my grandfather’s legs already healed?" Yun Xiaotian asked the question everyone wanted to know.

While performing acupuncture, Lin Tian said, "It’s not that easy; Mr. Yun’s legs lost vitality for twenty years, how could they recover in just one day."

"How long will it take?" Yun Xiaotian asked again, very anxiously.

This time, Lin Tian did not answer; instead, he used X-ray vision to carefully observe Mr. Yun’s legs’ changes. The light golden medicinal power flowed through the meridians into the disabled legs, resembling a stream flowing into a parched desert.

The muscles and bones that lost vitality, akin to dried fine sand, absorbed every trace of passing vitality. However, having lost vitality for twenty years, once the vitality was absorbed, it disappeared into a bottomless pit, not causing even the slightest ripple.

The situation seemed ominous, but Lin Tian instead breathed a sigh of relief; although it’s a bottomless pit, the ability to absorb the elixir’s vitality is good news. As long as he keeps replenishing it, there’s hope for recovery, since even the largest lake can eventually be filled.

After circulating Mr. Yun’s qi and blood for forty-nine cycles of Zhou Tian, Lin Tian pulled out the gold thread.

"Zi Yan, that’s enough for today," Lin Tian said.

Zi Yan withdrew the silver needles, disinfected and put them away, and breathed a slight sigh of relief. Though she was only assisting, going all out to perform the Nine Needle Technique exhausted her spirits and physical stamina, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, her fatigue not less than when she crafted medicine yesterday.

She wiped away the sweat from her forehead, noticing Lin Tian’s calm and relaxed demeanor, without a trace of sweat on his face; she once again witnessed Lin Tian’s astonishing stamina.

"Junior," Zi Yan asked curiously, mistaking Lin Tian’s cessation for her benefit, "why stop? I can keep going."

"Indeed, Brother Lin, why not continue when grandfather is improving?" Yun Xiaotian also asked, with Yun Haoyu and the others equally puzzled.

After tidying up and wrapping the gold thread, Lin Tian replied, "It’s not that we lack stamina, but Mr. Yun’s."

"Grandfather?" Yun Xiaotian was very confused. Why is grandfather, who remained seated throughout, lacking stamina?

"You can’t see the essence, so it’s natural to have questions. Let me explain: Mr. Yun’s circulation of qi and blood is several times faster than usual, with all pores open. During this time, bodily fluids evaporate significantly. If it continues, bodily fluids will become unbalanced, and new illnesses will arise."

"Just like when you exercise, excessive sweat evaporation without timely rest and replenishment can be detrimental, rather than beneficial to fitness—a concept you should understand." Lin Tian explained in detail.

"Makes sense," Yun Haoyu realized.

"Uncle Yun, please help push Mr. Yun to change into clean clothes; soaked clothes can lead to a cold." Lin Tian instructed.

"Xiao Tian, you’ve worked hard; stay for dinner later," Yun Hongxi said gratefully.

"I’m as strong as an ox; this bit of effort is nothing. But senior sister may be a bit tired," Lin Tian said casually, smiling.

Zi Yan shot him a glance, displeased, saying, "You’re speaking as if I’m fragile. Don’t forget, I didn’t tire out last night when helping you craft medicine!"

"Yes, yes, senior sister is as sturdy as a cow, unafraid of hardship or exhaustion," Lin Tian said helplessly, noting her remarkable resilience.

"You said I’m like a cow! Have you seen a cow as slim as me?" Zi Yan immediately put her hands on her hips, seemingly ready to explode. Women’s thought processes differ from men’s; her focus was on "like a cow."

Lin Tian sneakily glanced at her chest, thinking to himself, "Whether you’re like a cow is unknown, but this certainly resembles a dairy cow."

"Ha ha ha..." Yun Hongxi laughed heartily, enjoying the younger generation’s banter: "Seeing you still have energy to bicker, I am reassured." Jiang Xiu Ying and the others also found it amusing.

After Yun Hongxi pushed Mr. Yun away, Jiang Xiu Ying asked Lin Tian, "Lin Tian, according to what you said earlier, does Yun Hongxi require daily acupuncture?"

"That’s correct, because Mr. Yun’s condition has been prolonged for a whole twenty years. Instant recovery is improbable; it must be gradual, step by step." Lin Tian honestly answered.

"Grandfather needs more time for complete recovery and regaining his walking ability," Yun Xiaotian asked.

"It’s hard to say, at least a few days, potentially tens of days, depending on the recovery status," Lin Tian replied.

"Then we must trouble Brother Lin to stay for some days," Yun Xiaotian said somewhat embarrassedly. Lin Tian had already been at the Yun family for quite some time, and delaying Lin Tian’s time left him feeling guilty.

"No worries; the college entrance exam is over anyway, idle time is idle time. Besides, since Miss has come to Jinghua City, I might as well stay longer," Lin Tian said easily.

Upon mentioning the college entrance exam, only then did Zi Yan and the others realize that the genius acupuncturist, pharmacist, and Ancient Martial Artist before them was just a newly graduated high school student. Who could guess that this genius was actually a student?

"Lin Tian, based on the current situation, can one Yin Yang Life Elixir completely heal Mr. Yun? If not, how much more elixir is needed? Most importantly, is the supply of Yin Yang Spirit Fruit sufficient?" Wang Wanxi suddenly asked seriously.
