Chapter 128: Xiao Chen: The era that belongs to me, Xiao Chen, is about to arrive!
How do I know?
Or rather, how could I not know?
As the contemporary heir of the Ghost Valley School, how could I not know?
He didn’t directly respond to Wang Siquan’s words but continued on his own, saying, “The so-called Ghost Valley Divine Needle consists of nine needles! The first needle stops pain, the second needle dispels cold, the third needle reduces fever, the fourth needle halts bleeding, the fifth needle generates flesh, the sixth needle soothes injuries, the seventh needle mends bones, the eighth needle revives the dead, and the ninth needle…”
In Xiao Chen’s eyes, a powerful aura of confidence burst forth.
“…the ninth needle… Yama’s Life-Taking Needle! As long as you have a breath left, you can seize your life back from Yama’s hands!”
The whole room erupted into a commotion.
“How could there be such a terrifying acupuncture technique?”
“The first few needles are acceptable, but the last ones are truly unbelievable!”
“Especially the last one, it’s impossible to take back your life from Yama’s hands as long as you have a breath left!”
“I’ve been a doctor for years, and I’ve never seen such a needle technique!”
“I don’t believe there’s such an incredible medical skill!”
Wang Siquan shook his head and said solemnly, “No, what he said is true. The Ghost Valley Divine Needle is indeed this incredible! Its key lies in the needling technique, which awakens the body’s potential.”
“We all know that the human body is a treasure trove with limitless potential. Once unleashed, it can rival the gods themselves. In that case, what does it matter whether it’s for healing or saving lives?”
“Could there really be such a medical skill?”
“It’s too terrifying!”
“The first six needles are fine, but the last three are a bit mystical!”
“So, traditional Chinese medicine is truly amazing!”
Many people’s beliefs were shaken.
After all, Wang Siquan’s medical skill had already been witnessed by everyone and was genuinely terrifying. Even he admitted to being impressed by this skill, which wasn’t far behind his own.
“You do have some insight!” Xiao Chen chuckled, his mouth slightly curved, giving off a somewhat mischievous vibe.
“However, this needling technique isn’t something anyone can learn.”
Wang Siquan gave Xiao Chen a deep look and said, “To master this technique, you first need a unique constitution that can perceive the subtle changes in a person’s qi. Such individuals are exceedingly rare.”
“Secondly, this needling technique isn’t easy to learn.”
“It requires starting cultivation from a young age, spending years under the moon’s influence, gaining a thorough understanding of various acupuncture points and the operation of various bodily organs. Only then will you have a chance to learn the Ghost Valley Divine Needle. Without less, it’s impossible!”
“Thirdly, you need a strong medical aptitude!”
“Ordinary people may only learn the first six needles, which are quite common. However, the last three needles are where the essence of the Ghost Valley Divine Needle lies. One needle can make broken bones regenerate, the second can restore the spirit, and the third is Yama’s Life-Taking Needle. Each needle is several times more challenging than the previous. If your aptitude isn’t sufficient, you won’t be able to reach this stage!”
Wang Siquan sighed, “The requirements for this needling technique are incredibly high. Over the centuries, only a few people have fully mastered the Ghost Valley Divine Needle. Even those who learn up to the seventh needle are extremely rare!”
The room erupted once again.
“No wonder we’ve never heard of it. It’s so difficult to learn, and those who can do it are few.”
“Over the centuries, only a few people have fully mastered it. Those who learn up to the seventh needle are very few!”
“The requirements are just too high. It sounds despairing.”
“But if you truly master it, you’d be incredible!”
“You’re right; the situation is indeed like that.” Xiao Chen chuckled again, his mouth curved even more.
“But all of these are the hidden secrets of our ancient medical school. How does a regular patient like you know all of this so clearly? Who are you really?” Wang Siquan’s expression turned serious.
At this moment, everyone turned their gaze to Xiao Chen, curiosity and inquiry filling their eyes.
“Heh! Who am I?”
Xiao Chen stood tall, exuding an air of confidence, and a hint of a fortunate son’s demeanor emerged from him. He declared loudly, “Wang Siquan, do you want to know who I am? Well, listen up!”
“I am the contemporary successor of the Ghost Valley School – Xiao Chen!”
The room erupted once again.
“What? He’s the successor of the Ghost Valley School?”
“He knows the Ghost Valley Divine Needle?”
“He can resurrect the dead and take lives from Yama?”
Listening to the tumultuous sounds in the room, Xiao Chen was trembling with excitement.
The long-lost cheers! The long-lost applause!
This was his stage!
This was Xiao Chen’s stage!
In his past life, he had rapidly risen on this stage. Though he was ultimately suppressed by Lin Beifan, he had indeed risen on this stage!
Now, he had returned!
The king has returned!
In this life, without Lin Beifan holding him back, there would be no more obstacles on his path to rise. He believed that he would rise even faster, reaching a level where even Lin Beifan would have to look up to him.
His gaze swept across the entire room, and all these familiar or unfamiliar faces would bear witness to his ascent.
Finally, his gaze settled on a surprised figure.
“Yue, watch closely; only I am worthy of you!”
“And Lin Beifan, I will exact vengeance on your behalf tenfold or a hundredfold!”
With these thoughts, Xiao Chen felt even more confident. He was on the brink of leaping over the dragon’s gate, ready to soar!
“Are you… really the successor of the Ghost Valley School?” Wang Siquan asked in disbelief.
“Do I have any reason to lie?” Xiao Chen replied with a self-assured smile. Wang Siquan found it hard to believe that he was lying. His confidence was undeniable, and there were very few people who could explain the Ghost Valley Divine Needle so clearly, aside from their leader, King Yixi.
So, the chances were that what he said was true.
“Then, how many of the Ghost Valley Divine Needle’s nine needles have you learned?” Wang Siquan asked again.
Xiao Chen chuckled lightly, “Before leaving the mountain, I had already learned the eighth needle, the Reviving Needle! Now, I can barely use the ninth needle.”
He hadn’t mastered the ninth needle yet, but the accumulated knowledge from two lifetimes allowed him to take a step forward.
It truly reflected the old saying: “Misfortune is fortune missed; fortune is misfortune concealed.”
Wang Siquan was once again astonished, “Ah! You’ve actually learned the ninth needle!”
The entire room was in shock.
“Ah! This young man has already mastered the ninth needle – Yama’s Life-Taking Needle!”
“Doesn’t that make him the contemporary divine doctor?”
“He’s so young and already this skilled!”
“His future is limitless!”
All kinds of astonished voices reverberated, and Xiao Chen was elated. That’s right, this was the opening for the main character! Before, it was completely off track. But from today onwards, the era that belongs to me, Xiao Chen, is about to arrive!
