73: Chapter 73 Rescuing People

None of the people present were fools.

Seeing Divine Physician Elder Li and Shao Yangzi fall into silence, their brows furrowed in deep thought as they remained speechless for a long time.

They knew then that even these two powerful experts had no method of treatment!!

"Divine Physician, please save the Prince!"

"Senior Elder Yao, if you have a way to treat him, please speak plainly. The Lanzhou Princes Mansion will surely offer a heavy reward!"

"Yes, yes, please don't keep us in suspense, Senior..."

The members of the Prince's Mansion couldn't help but look at Ji Taichang, speaking up one after another to plead with him, their attitudes extremely sincere.

Even Divine Physician Elder Li gave a bitter smile. "Forgive my dullness, I cannot think of a treatment. I ask Fellow Daoist to provide some guidance."

Ji Taichang was in no hurry to reveal the treatment. Instead, he looked at the silent Qin Wenyan and Qin Wenxi and sneered, "Why aren't you two speaking? Are you unwilling to plead for your father? Or is it that you want to watch the Prince die so you can fight over the throne?"

As soon as these words were spoken.

The expressions of both Qin Wenyan and Qin Wenxi changed!

"I didn't, I'm not, don't talk nonsense!!"

Qin Wenyan was so startled he almost jumped up, glaring furiously at Ji Taichang!

Even if he did have a bit of that thought in his heart, was that something that could be said aloud?!

Qin Wenxi, however, gave Ji Taichang a deep look, then bowed directly to him and said in a heavy voice, "I ask Senior Elder Yao to step in and treat my father."

Seeing this, Qin Wenyan could only grit his teeth and follow suit, bowing and pleading with Ji Taichang!

"That's more like it."

Ji Taichang leaned back in his chair again and said leisurely, "The method of treatment is actually simple. First, use the Extreme Yin Needle Technique to seal the heart Meridians, then supplement it with a 'nine-turn yang restoration pill' to neutralize the internal fire, and finally use the 'Taiyi Green Wood Technique' to nourish the Nascent Soul. Within three days, I guarantee the Prince will be alive and kicking."

Hearing this, Divine Physician Elder Li and Shao Yangzi were struck as if by lightning, standing frozen on the spot.

After a long while, the two of them regained their spirits, their faces filled with wild joy and sudden realization!

Divine Physician Elder Li said, "Sealing the heart Meridians with the Extreme Yin Needle Technique, using Yin to suppress Yin, and then using Yang to overcome Yin... Ingenious! I have practiced medicine for three hundred years, yet I never thought of such a solution!"

"Fellow Daoist's medical skills are divine; it is simply too powerful..."

Shao Yangzi also cupped his hands and bowed to Ji Taichang, his expression solemn. "Thank you for the guidance, Fellow Daoist. I have learned much."

Watching Ji Taichang casually provide the treatment method and earn the complete respect of the two great experts.

The members of the Prince's Mansion were instantly in an uproar, their eyes filled with amazement and wild joy!!

"Senior Elder Yao is truly a Divine Being!"

"Famous doctors from all over the Great Wu Dynasty were helpless, yet only Senior Elder Yao could point out the secret in a single word. Senior's medical skills are truly heaven-reaching and miraculous!"

"Senior Elder Yao can not only easily see where the illness lies but also has an ingenious method to resolve it. He is truly profound..."

"Our Lanzhou Princes Mansion will never forget this kindness!"

"The Prince is the pillar of Lanzhou. If anything were to happen, all of Lanzhou would fall into turmoil. By saving the Prince today, Senior has saved the thousands of common people in Lanzhou!"

"From now on, Senior Elder Yao will forever be an honored guest of our Lanzhou Princes Mansion..."

The people of the mansion spoke up one after another in praise.

Not only were they thanking him for the life-saving grace, but they also wanted to build a relationship with Elder Yao!

After all, no one could guarantee they wouldn't be heavily injured or on the verge of death in the future; befriending a divine physician was always the right choice!

"But... Fellow Daoist, this Extreme Yin Needle Technique... has already been lost."

Divine Physician Elder Li suddenly scratched his head, his face looking a bit troubled.

The Extreme Yin Needle Technique was first created five thousand years ago by the Fire Cloud Pill King. It was extremely subtle and complex, and it required pure Yin Qi to activate; ordinary people simply couldn't learn it!

Especially for masters of the Alchemic and Medical Daos, they often cultivated fire-attribute techniques. Where would they get Yin Qi to practice the Extreme Yin Needle Technique!

As soon as Divine Physician Elder Li spoke, the scene fell into a dead silence, and everyone couldn't help but look at Shao Yangzi.

"I don't know this needle technique either."

Shao Yangzi shook his head.

The hearts of the people in the mansion suddenly sank!

Qin Wenhua gave a dry laugh and said, "Since Senior Elder Yao proposed this method, you must surely know the Extreme Yin Needle Technique, right?"

Hearing this, everyone suddenly realized and hope flared in their hearts once more as they all looked toward Ji Taichang!

"It's just the Extreme Yin Needle Technique, nothing difficult about it."

Ji Taichang shrugged. That casual attitude made everyone's hearts stir once again!

"T-this is a needle technique that has been lost for thousands of years. Could it be that Senior Elder Yao, you are a disciple of the Fire Cloud Pill King's lineage?"

"That shouldn't be possible? The Fire Cloud Pill King never took a disciple in his life. In his later years, to pursue a higher Alchemic Dao, he left the Great Wu Dynasty to travel the world. He shouldn't have left behind any Legacy..."

"Regardless, Senior Elder Yao is the great benefactor of our Lanzhou Princes Mansion!"

"Please, Senior Elder Yao, step in and let us witness the power of the Extreme Yin Needle Technique!"

The crowd discussed fervently, their gazes toward Ji Taichang now carrying a hint of fanaticism.

Ji Taichang scanned the crowd. "Who among you has a nine-turn yang restoration pill?"

The nine-turn yang restoration pill was a Grade Four Medicinal Pill. It was extremely precious and rare even for Nascent Soul Stage experts, and it was even rumored to be able to bring the dead back to life!

Although Ji Taichang's alchemic attainments were extremely high, he did not have such a precious medicine on him.

"I have it."

Shao Yangzi directly took out a jade box and respectfully handed it to Ji Taichang.

Divine Physician Elder Li gave a dry laugh and scratched his head.

He had been heavily injured for a hundred years, and all the precious medicines he had were used up on himself.

Ji Taichang casually took out a box of silver needles. A sharp light flashed in his eyes as his hands pinched a seal!

Swish!

Swish!

Swish!!

One silver needle after another shot out like lightning, emitting wisps of chilling Yin Qi. They accurately pierced into various Acupoints near the Prince of Lanzhou's heart Meridians, sealing off the poison that had invaded them.

Divine Physician Elder Li, Shao Yangzi, and the others immediately held their breath, observing with rapt attention, their eyes full of amazement!

Ji Taichang's display of the Extreme Yin Needle Technique could be called perfection. It looked casual, but it actually contained profound mysteries, causing the two masters to gain some insight and feel deeply moved!

Unfortunately, just by watching the hand movements, they could not learn the Extreme Yin Needle Technique at all. It required the accompanying Mind-Cultivation Technique and specific spiritual energy circulation routes.

Very soon.

After Ji Taichang finished performing the needle technique, he opened the jade box and pointed a finger. A golden Medicinal Pill the size of a longan emerged, emitting a dense medicinal fragrance.

Just a single whiff made everyone feel completely refreshed!

Under Ji Taichang's control, the nine-turn yang restoration pill entered the Prince of Lanzhou's mouth and instantly dissolved, its majestic medicinal power erupting like a volcano!

Ji Taichang formed one seal after another, tapping on the Prince of Lanzhou's Meridians and Acupoints to help him guide and neutralize the medicinal power, making it all enter his Dantian and heart Meridians without the slightest deviation or waste!

Such miraculous technique made Divine Physician Elder Li and Shao Yangzi widen their eyes in praise as they observed closely.

"Rise!"

With a cold shout from Ji Taichang, his black hair fluttered as his hands rapidly formed seals. The silver needles on the Prince of Lanzhou's chest vibrated violently, and wisps of chilling, terrifying poisonous Qi slowly dissipated!!

The Prince of Lanzhou's face, which was originally as pale as paper, also regained a hint of color, and his breathing gradually stabilized!

Seeing this, everyone was overjoyed!
