Chapter 244: Chapter 244: Treasure Collected for Thousands of Years

There is an ancient saying in Dragon Country, "Outsiders watch the excitement, insiders watch the technique."

Just now, the scene where Lin Dong used acupuncture to cure the disease appeared to these patients as an outsider watching the excitement.

Therefore, their first reaction after seeing Lin Dong cure with a single needle was to subconsciously think that he was a scammer.

However, for insiders like Li Qingdai, the way Lin Dong applied the needles and the technique he used were profoundly impressive.

Even someone as proud as Li Qingdai had no choice but to respectfully admit defeat.

There was no need for comparison at all!

She now truly understood that she was not on the same level as him!

"Grandpa, was the technique he used just now the lost Taiyi Yin-yang Divine Needle?" Li Qingdai asked her grandfather Elder Li Qingyang.

Elder Li Qingyang was also excitedly saying, "That’s right!"

"That method of needle insertion, that technique, is indeed the Taiyi Yin-yang Divine Needle!"

"It is said that the Taiyi Yin-yang Divine Needle comprises a total of eighty-one needles, each having multiple variations capable of curing all the sicknesses in the world!"

"Especially there are five needles, rumored to be able to bring the living dead back to life and heal broken bones!"

The Medicine King was also very excited:

"Someone actually knows the Taiyi Yin-yang Divine Needle, old Li, I now believe what you said before!"

"This young man truly has the talent comparable to the future Cauldron Bearer of Dragon Country Chinese Medicine, the Young Miracle Doctor!"

"No, his potential is even greater!"

"Hahaha, good, good, good! The younger generation of Dragon Country Chinese Medicine is indeed full of talents, and the future is promising!"

Having said this, the Medicine King couldn’t help but let out a loud laugh.

At the moment, Li Qingdai, with eyes sparkling, stared at Lin Dong and asked again:

"Is this really the Taiyi Yin-yang Divine Needle?"

Lin Dong didn’t hide it and nodded:

"Yes, being able to recognize this as the Taiyi Yin-yang Divine Needle shows you do have a certain level of skill!"

Thereupon, Li Qingdai directly gave Lin Dong a grand gift.

Such a grand gift was the kind an apprentice in the Chinese Medicine World would give when paying respect to a new master.

"Master, from now on, I am your apprentice!"

At this moment, she was genuinely convinced. Being an apprentice to someone who knew the Taiyi Yin-yang Divine Needle was an honor for her.

"It seems you’re really convinced," Lin Dong laughingly said.

"Yes, grandpa always taught me that there is always someone better out there, and now I truly understand! I will definitely follow your advice from now on. Can I stay by your side and learn the Taiyi Yin-yang Divine Needle from you?" Li Qingdai asked with anticipation.

Lin Dong shook his head, "The Taiyi Yin-yang Divine Needle isn’t something that just anyone can learn."

"I’m a bit unique, which is why I was able to learn it."

"That makes sense," Li Qingdai nodded. She knew that one reason the Taiyi Yin-yang Divine Needle had been lost was that it was extremely difficult to learn.

Perhaps one person capable of learning it might appear every few hundred years.

"That’s okay, even if I can’t learn the Taiyi Yin-yang Divine Needle, I can still follow you and study other medical arts," Li Qingdai said.

Moreover, she had made a bet with Lin Dong earlier.

If she lost, she would become Lin Dong’s apprentice!

Now that she had lost, she naturally had to keep her promise.

Although she had always been proud, she was also someone who greatly valued integrity, so she wouldn’t go back on her word.

Seeing this, Lin Dong also laughingly said:

"Okay, if you are willing to be my apprentice, then so be it. However, I cannot guarantee that I will have much time to teach you anything!"

"Actually, the most important thing for you right now is not to learn more medical techniques. It’s to temper your character!"

"Stabilize your heart, steady your hands. Achieve this, and your medical skills will naturally make a great leap forward!"

Li Qingdai stood silently, seemingly understanding yet not.

Seeing this scene, Elder Li Qingyang couldn’t help but stroke his beard and laughingly said:

"Fortunate, indeed!"

"My good granddaughter, you must study well under the Young Miracle Doctor!"

"Mmm," Li Qingdai nodded emphatically.

"Cough cough–––" Seeing Li Qingyang encouraging his granddaughter to become Lin Dong’s apprentice, the Medicine King beside them felt a bit envious.

He coughed to clear his throat, not wanting to be outdone.

"Young Miracle Doctor, I also have a request. Since you’ve taken one apprentice, you wouldn’t mind taking another, would you?"

After speaking, he quickly gave Zhuge Lingyou a hint.

Zhuge Lingyou immediately mimicked Li Qingdai and also gave Lin Dong a grand gesture!

"Apprentice Lingyou, at your service, Master!"

Lin Dong: "..."

Was this some buy-one-get-one-free deal for apprentices?

"Hey, hey, hey, old buddy, that’s not fair. Our Qingdai has paid a tuition fee to be the Little Miracle Doctor’s apprentice."

"If your grandson wants to become an apprentice, he must naturally pay a tuition fee as well," said Elder Li Qingyang with a twinkle in his whiskers.

The Medicine King and he, although having been good friends for many years, were always competing, comparing everything.

When they were young, they competed themselves, and as they got older, they compared their grandchildren.

Now, one seeing that the other’s granddaughter had become apprentice to Lin Dong, naturally also wanted to join in.

And the other, of course, was not going to make it easy.

Upon hearing Li Qingyang’s words, the Medicine King actually nodded in agreement.

"Old Li, you do have a point. In our Chinese Medicine, there has always been a tradition of presenting gifts to the master when becoming an apprentice!"

"Your Qingdai’s gift was that Hundred Years Tai Sui!"

"However, Medicine King Hall can’t come up with such old herbs at a moment’s notice, but we do have another treasure that could be used as the apprentice gift!"

"That thing is far more precious than your Hundred Years Tai Sui."

Upon hearing this, Elder Li Qingyang seemed to think of something.

He looked a bit surprised and asked:

"Old buddy, are you going to bring out that treasure that has been in your family for thousands of years?"

"Hahaha, precisely!" the Medicine King laughed heartily.

Lin Dong, listening on the side, felt a bit puzzled. What were they talking about? A treasure that had been preserved for thousands of years?

Could it be a Heavenly and Earthly treasure that had existed for thousands of years?
