Chapter 580: Chapter 580: Immediate Results

After arriving at Chen’s place, everyone relaxed a bit and would chat or boast to each other when there was nothing else to do. Now, seeing Ji Yang actually preparing medicinal liquor, many people came over out of curiosity, grateful that the room was sizable enough.

Ji Yang didn’t concern himself with what everyone might be thinking. He had made up his mind long ago that if he wanted everyone to witness his abilities, he would have to demonstrate them.

Chu Shuyuan was right, upon arriving here, the most important thing was to establish good relations with everyone. The decision to brew the medicinal liquor was something Ji Yang had deliberated over seriously, certain that it would catch everyone’s attention.

Picking up an herb, Ji Yang felt the medicinal properties of that herb for a moment.

He already had his own standards for formulas in this regard. After sensing the properties, Ji Yang cut a piece and threw it into a glass bottle.

"Ji, that was a big piece, why did you only take that little bit?"

"The formula for the medicinal liquor requires precise amounts of medicinal properties. Too much is no good, too little won’t do; just right is perfect."

Ji Yang made his explanation while he worked.

Everyone still didn’t understand the situation and opted to keep quiet.

Then, indeed, everyone noticed that Ji Yang was actually selecting herbs and not all herbs were put into the mixture.

Even though they could see clearly, they still didn’t understand what was happening.

Some of the herbs had lost their medicinal properties. Ji Yang searched and gathered a bunch to mix together, while for some, only a segment was needed.

In what seemed like divine operation by Ji Yang, he quickly blended the medicinal liquor used to treat chronic leg ailment. Ji Yang poured in the dregs, then smiled and said, "Normally, you’d have to soak it for a few days, but today, to save time and show you the effects, I’ve prepared a special brew that requires only an hour at most to be ready."

"Ji, you’re not fooling us, right?"

"Whether I’m fooling you or not will be apparent in a bit over an hour."

Everyone burst into laughter.

Ji Yang spoke again, "I’ll prepare a health-preserving medicinal liquor. This one, everyone can drink, and you’ll know it’s good after trying it."

Saying so, Ji Yang started to soak another concoction.

This time, the brewing process was even faster, and the liquor was quickly ready.

Everyone looked on, standing idly by, watching again and again, yet still unable to discern anything special.

"Old Chu, let me give you acupuncture."

Prepared, Ji Yang took out a set of silver needles.

"Are you sure you can do it?" Chu Wuping was somewhat skeptical and hesitated.

Then the crowd began to tease and encouraged Chu Wuping to let Ji Yang do the acupuncture.

Everyone was there for the spectacle, abandoning their usual austere demeanor.

"Alright, let’s have a try." Chu Wuping gritted his teeth and rolled up his trousers.

Ji Yang pressed a few points on Chu Wuping’s leg, quickly grasping an understanding of the circulation of Qi and blood within his body.

It really was possible!

Ji Yang felt secretly delighted. He had merely wanted to test his idea, and now it seemed that as long as he touched the other person’s body, he could sense their internal state.

Chu Wuping had no choice; his leg had been extremely painful in recent days and if it continued, it would severely affect his work. If others knew about this problem, any thoughts of promotion would be over, and he might even be forced into early retirement—a scenario he desperately wanted to avoid.

Seeing how serious Ji Yang appeared, Chu Wuping was willing to give it a try.

As a deputy minister of the water resources department, he felt there was still a chance for him. A premature retirement due to his leg problem would be unfavorable not just for him but also for the Chu Family.

As Chu Wuping was mulling over these matters, Ji Yang had already finished inserting the needles.

"Ji, that’s impressive! You inserted those needles so quickly I didn’t even see clearly!" A classmate exclaimed.

"Indeed amazing, the technique was so fast. I hadn’t even reacted and the needles were already in!"

Everyone began to discuss.

Looking at his leg, Chu Wuping indeed found needles quivering there.

Ji Yang then poured a cup of medicinal liquor and handed it to Chu Wuping, saying, "Drink this cup of medicinal liquor."

"Are you sure it’s safe?" Chu Wuping hesitated again.

The crowd jeered once more.

Ji Yang smiled and responded, "Actually, this liquor is drinkable for most people. Don’t believe me? I’ll show you."

As he spoke, Ji Yang grabbed the cup from Chu Wuping’s hand and downed it himself.

After finishing, he poured another cup and handed it over.

Everyone looked at Ji Yang to see if he was alright after drinking, and indeed, he seemed fine.

"You sure this drink is safe?"

"Definitely safe."

"Alright, I’ll drink."

Seeing that Ji Yang was fine after drinking, Chu Wuping took the cup and drank it.

As Chu Wuping consumed the liquor, Ji Yang’s hands were once again inserting needles, this time targeting other spots.

Chu Wuping suddenly felt a strong surging heat wave moving up towards his leg.

With that heat flow, Chu Wuping moaned in comfort; it was an exhilarating feeling he hadn’t experienced in a long time.

The crowd looked astonished at Chu Wuping, breaking into laughter at the sounds he made.

Now, Ji Yang began to remove the needles.

This time, Ji Yang’s actions were much slower. He twisted each needle before pulling it out to ensure the heat flowed thoroughly into each area.

After removing the needles one by one, Ji Yang looked at Chu Wuping, who was sweating profusely, and asked, "Check your leg now, is it better?"

Chu Wuping was still enveloped in the pleasure of the experience, a feeling he hadn’t had in a very long time.

Hearing Ji Yang’s words, he tested his leg, which had been incredibly painful just before, and suddenly discovered that it indeed didn’t hurt anymore.

"Ah!"

Chu Wuping stood up, hopped around, and tested again, then exclaimed in shock, "It really doesn’t hurt anymore."

"Old Chu, is it really true?" Everyone was equally astonished.
