Chapter 17 Nine Needles to Restore Yang

Chapter 17 Nine Needles to Restore Yang

By Huaxun LiteraturePublished 6 months ago 6 min read

"Xiao Ye, do you have anything else to do?"

Seeing Ye Qiu turn back again, the Dragon King felt a little strange and asked in confusion.

Ye Qiu said: "I just suddenly thought of a way, maybe it will have some effect on your condition."

"Oh?" The Dragon King's eyes flashed with light, and he asked hurriedly: "What method?"

"Use acupuncture!"

Hearing this, the light in the Dragon King's eyes instantly extinguished.

"Xiao Ye, thank you, acupuncture can't work in my current situation."

Over the years, the Dragon King has consulted countless famous doctors, and he has also tried to use acupuncture to treat the poison, but it didn't work at all.

Ye Qiu said: "Dragon King, although the acupuncture I mentioned can't help you remove the poison or heal your body, it can help you prolong your life."

"I'm going to die soon, so don't waste your efforts... What did you say just now? Prolong your life?"

The Dragon King suddenly reacted and looked at Ye Qiu in astonishment.

"Yes, it can help you prolong your life." Ye Qiu said.

"You are not kidding me, are you?" The Dragon King was a little unconvinced.

After all, the art of prolonging life only exists in legends and TV dramas. In real life, no one has ever heard of this secret art.

"I am not kidding you, everything I said is true." Ye Qiu said very seriously.

The Dragon King looked at Ye Qiu for a while, and seeing that he did not seem to be lying, he asked: "How long can you help me prolong my life?"

"If everything goes well, you can live one more month."

"Only one month..."

The Dragon King's face showed disappointment again.

Is there a difference between seven days and one month?

There is no difference.

It's nothing more than waiting to die.

Zhao Yun had been with the Dragon King for so many years, and he saw what the Dragon King was thinking at a glance, and quickly advised: "Dragon King, since Ye Qiu has this ability, let him help you prolong your life!"

"Although a month is not a long time, it can buy you some time."

"Maybe within this month, we can find someone to cure your poison."

"That's easy to say! For nine years, I have looked for so many famous doctors, but no one can tell that I am poisoned. Do you think that in just one month, we can find someone to cure my poison?" The Dragon King had no hope at all.

Over the years, he understood a truth: the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

In the past, every time he found a famous doctor, the Dragon King would be excited and had great confidence in the famous doctor, but the result was disappointment again and again.

Zhao Yun continued to persuade him: "Dragon King, we have seen so many doctors in the past nine years, but no one could tell that you were poisoned. But Ye Qiu came today and saw it at a glance. Now he can help you prolong your life. What does this mean? It means that you are not destined to die."

"Just let Ye Qiu prolong your life!"

"I believe that good people will be blessed by heaven. There will definitely be a turnaround within this month. Ye Qiu, don't you think so?"

Zhao Yun winked at Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu understood and advised: "Dragon King, please don't hesitate any longer, let me extend your life!"

The Dragon King said: "There is not much difference between seven days and one month, and dying earlier is a relief for me. You don't know, the unbearable abdominal pain in the middle of the night is really worse than death!"

Ye Qiu said: "Dragon King, I forgot to tell you just now that once the life extension is successful, the abdominal pain symptoms will disappear immediately."

"Really?" The Dragon King was a little skeptical of Ye Qiu's words and said: "How can the abdominal pain disappear if the poison is not removed?"

"This is the magic of this acupuncture technique. Although it cannot remove the poison, it can extend life and eliminate pain."

"If it is true as you said, there will be no more abdominal pain, then you can give it a try."

Zhao Yun said hurriedly: "Ye Qiu, the Dragon King has agreed, you should quickly give the Dragon King acupuncture to extend his life!"

"Do you have silver needles?" Ye Qiu asked.

"There are some at home. I'll get them now." Zhao Yun quickly ran into the house. When he came back, he had a medicine box in his hand.

He opened the medicine box, and there were silver needles, alcohol, disinfectant cotton balls...

Everything was available.

Ye Qiu first clamped a piece of disinfectant cotton ball with tweezers, then poured alcohol on it, then picked up a silver needle and wiped the silver needle with the alcohol cotton ball to disinfect it.

In this way, it took nearly three minutes to disinfect all the silver needles.

"Dragon King, turn your back to me and unbutton your shirt." Ye Qiu said.

The Dragon King did it immediately.

Ye Qiu reminded again: "It will be painful when the needle is inserted later. If you can't stand it, just scream out!"

"Don't worry, I have endured abdominal pain every day for so many years, and the pain of needle insertion is nothing."

"Then shall I start?"

"Let's start!"

Swoosh——

Ye Qiu quickly inserted a needle into the Dragon King's Dazhui acupoint.

Two seconds later.

Ye Qiu asked the Dragon King: "Do you feel anything?"

"A little numb, a little painful, and it's getting more and more painful, ah ah ah... It hurts so much!"

The Dragon King screamed.

Zhao Yun was frightened and asked: "Ye Qiu, will the Dragon King be okay?"

"Don't worry, this is a normal reaction."

Ye Qiu picked up another silver needle and quickly pierced it into the Dragon King's Shendao acupoint.

"Ah..."

The Dragon King screamed even louder.

Then, Ye Qiu pierced a silver needle into the Dragon King's Lingtai acupoint.

The Dragon King suddenly stopped screaming in pain.

"Do you feel better now?" Ye Qiu asked.

"Yeah." The Dragon King nodded. The first two needles almost took half of his life, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"From now on, it won't hurt, and it will even help you adjust the balance of yin and yang in your body."

Ye Qiu continued to insert needles.

The fourth needle was inserted into the Zhiyang acupoint.

The fifth needle was inserted into the Zhongshu acupoint.

The sixth needle was inserted into the Jizhong acupoint.

The seventh needle was inserted into the Jueyinshu acupoint. The eighth needle was inserted into the Sanjiaoshu acupoint.

The ninth needle, Mingmen acupoint!

The acupuncture was completed.

A magical scene appeared.

The purple meridian protruding from the intersection of the Dragon King's back disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared.

Huh——

Ye Qiu let out a long breath.

Success!

"How do you feel now?" Ye Qiu asked the Dragon King.

"I feel much better. My body is warm, just like before I was poisoned. It's very comfortable. Xiaoye, what kind of acupuncture is this? Why is it so magical?"

"This is the Nine Needles of Rejuvenation, which can adjust the balance of yin and yang in the human body and replenish vitality."

"You are really amazing. You actually mastered such an amazing acupuncture."

Ye Qiu smiled and thought, it's not me who is amazing, it's the ancestor of the Ye family who is amazing!

The ancestor of the Ye family passed on so many things to him, any one of them is an amazing skill. I really don't know how powerful this ancestor of the Ye family was when he was alive?

"Ye Qiu, did you succeed in extending your life?" Zhao Yun asked nervously.

"Success." Ye Qiu said: "Within one month, the Dragon King will be alive."

"That's good." Zhao Yun breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, the mobile phone in Ye Qiu's pocket suddenly rang.
