Chapter 2297 - 2290: A Bet
Blood Tears Syndrome is an extremely rare condition with an incidence rate so low that it’s one in a hundred million. To this day, no one knows the exact cause.
"You are all elite members of Huaxia; now is the time to showcase your abilities. Please begin treating the patient." Leng Qingqian said casually, exuding a commanding presence, and seemingly not planning to join in.
"I know a family-inherited acupuncture technique; I can give it a try."
Zhang Peng, who was called Wang Dadong, said.
"Alright, it’s up to you to treat him." Leng Qingqian nodded.
Immediately, Zhang Peng took out a silver needle and began the acupuncture.
Zhang Peng’s hands were very steady, and his acupoint identification was highly accurate. One needle was inserted on the patient’s head at the Baihui point, another at the Fengchi point, and the last one between the eyebrows.
Each needle was applied from a distance.
A moment later, the bleeding from the patient’s eyes stopped.
"The bleeding has stopped!"
"The Zhang Family Flying Needle technique is legitimately extraordinary."
"Just luck, just luck," Zhang Peng said humbly, though his face couldn’t hide his joy.
Wang Dadong nodded silently. The members of this medical exchange were indeed a gathering of talents; the chosen ones were all outstanding young talents of Huaxia, each capable of displaying this nearly lost art of flying needles.
The Zhang Family Flying Needle, though not as powerful as the Sun Needle Technique practiced by Leng Ningshuang, is still a superior acupuncture method. It’s extremely difficult to master, and that Zhang Peng, in his twenties, could achieve such levels makes him a rare talent.
Unfortunately, Zhang Peng had not yet perfected it, nor did he understand the pathology of Blood Tears Syndrome, so he could only stop the bleeding temporarily.
Sure enough, once the silver needle was removed, the patient’s eyes began to weep blood again.
Zhang Peng’s face turned a bit pale.
Leng Qingqian said blandly, "You don’t need to blame yourself. The Zhang Family Flying Needle is, after all, just a folk acupuncture technique, and reaching such a level is already not easy."
Wang Dadong felt speechless. Is this meant to be comforting? Isn’t that just saying that the Zhang Family Flying Needle is merely a folk technique, ultimately unworthy of high esteem!
As expected, Zhang Peng’s face turned even uglier upon hearing Leng Qingqian’s words.
"Is there anyone else willing to give it a try?" Leng Qingqian looked at the crowd.
"I’ll give it a shot." A girl around seventeen stood up.
The girl looked quite ordinary, was very thin, but had a pair of hands different from ordinary people’s.
Each of the girl’s fingers seemed much longer than the average person’s.
"I am Liu Su, and my method is the inherited massage technique, Moluo Point-Exploring Hand!"
Wang Dadong finally understood why the girl’s fingers were so long. Long fingers can press multiple acupoints at once.
Quickly, Liu Su started to perform her massage technique, her hands moving so swiftly they created an illusion, making onlookers dazzled and entranced.
Unfortunately, like the previous Zhang Peng, it only temporarily stopped the blood tears, without curing it.
"You Huaxia People really aren’t up to the task. If you can’t do it, don’t mess around." There were a few Dongyin people on the ship who immediately taunted them after seeing that multiple treatments didn’t succeed.
The exchange members immediately became angry, "If you have the ability, do it yourself!"
"We’re not doctors."
"You little devils stop talking nonsense. If our young lady were to take action, it would only take two needles to cure him!" Ah Fei waved his fist at the jeering Dongyin people.
"You Huaxia people are top-notch at bragging, but your real skills, well, are second-rate." The Dongyin people continued to mock.
"Please, Captain Leng, step in and treat him."
Everyone’s eyes fell on Leng Qingqian. Now everyone was helpless; they had to rely on Leng Qingqian.
Leng Qingqian’s expression remained unchanged, gently nodding to the boy beside her, "Ah Fei, bring my needles."
Soon, Ah Fei came over with a jade box.
Leng Qingqian took the jade box and opened it. The temperature in the hall instantly dropped by several degrees.
Inside the jade box were seven light blue needles arranged in a row, each needle of different size, with a dragon body at the end, and with a faint Dragon Qi spreading.
Of course, this kind of True Dragon Qi couldn’t be felt by ordinary people.
"Xuanbing Dragon King Needle!"
Someone exclaimed.
Xuanbing Dragon King Needle was rumored not to be used by humans but by the East Sea Dragon King.
Wang Dadong’s eyes focused, forming a new impression of Leng Qingqian.
"No wonder this girl looks down on everything; she got hold of such a Divine item."
While Wang Dadong’s White Jade Medicine King Needle was famous, it was still an earthly item, naturally not as significant as the Xuanbing Dragon King Needle. However, he originally thought the Xuanbing Dragon King Needle was just a figment of imagination, unexpectedly, it really existed.
But when it comes to acupuncture, Wang Dadong no longer needed needles to heal, so even this Xuanbing Dragon King Needle couldn’t catch his eyes.
Just as Wang Dadong was lost in thought, Leng Qingqian had already started the acupuncture, gently picking up the smallest Xuanbing Dragon King Needle and inserting it into the patient’s temple.
Everyone was shocked as the temple is one of the body’s most crucial acupoints, known as a lethal point, and few dared to needle it.
However, since it was Leng Qingqian administering the needle, no one found anything inappropriate.
The ice needle pierced into the patient’s temple, and mist emitted from the patient’s head, forming a white fog. The white fog gradually gathered into a Shenlong’s shadow, swirling around the patient’s head three times, and finally, it entered the patient’s head.
As people marveled at the scene, Leng Qingqian had finished needling and returned the Xuanbing Dragon King Needle to the jade box.
The blood tears in the patient’s eyes stopped, and their complexion became rosy.
"Incredible, she cured it with just one needle."
People once again praised.
"Did you see that? Our young lady only used one needle to cure the patient." Ah Fei smugly looked at the laughing Dongyin people.
In fact, Ah Fei already knew Leng Qingqian could cure the patient with just one needle, and he initially said two needles were needed just to make people more astonished.
"Looks like this Cold girl indeed has some skills." The two returned to the private room, Wang Dadong muttered.
King Kong was unimpressed, "So what if she’s impressive? She’s still no match for Brother Dong’s Flesh Needle."
"..."
Hours later, the ship sailed into the sea. The azure surface of the sea looked like a blue gem, incredibly beautiful.
Many people came to the deck, enjoying the gentle sea breeze and experiencing the vastness of the ocean. There were also many beauties in bikinis sunbathing on the deck, truly a feast for the eyes.
At this time, melodious music started playing, and people began to dance.
"Brother Dong, Brother Dong, let’s go dance too." Seeing the various beauties on the deck, King Kong was extremely excited.
Wang Dadong felt a bit awkward, "But we don’t have dance partners. We can’t dance together, can we?"
"We can invite the beauties to dance, Brother Dong, dare to make a bet, to see who finds a dance partner first!"
