Chapter 246: Chapter 246: Monster Gifted

"Old friend, that’s quite the generous gesture." Old Divine Doctor Li Qingyang couldn’t help but stroke his beard and say.

"Not as generous as yours." Medicine King glanced at him with a hint of annoyance.

At the same time, he sighed inwardly, thinking to himself, "Who says I don’t have a granddaughter."

He had seen through Li Qingyang’s intentions, which was to send his own granddaughter to apprentice under the Young Miracle Doctor. But what was he really scheming? Could it be possible that he was clueless?

He was probably hoping for the Young Miracle Doctor to become his grandson-in-law!

Naturally, Li Qingyang also picked up on the implication in his words. He couldn’t help but let out an awkward chuckle.

At this moment, Medicine King turned his gaze back to Lin Dong and asked,

"What do you say, Young Miracle Doctor, do you dare accept this gift? Are you confident you can bring the Resuscitating Pill into the world?"

Hearing these words, Lin Dong laughed out loud and said,

"Medicine Elder Wang, if you have such great confidence in me, how could I possibly lack confidence in myself!"

"I accept this gift! And rest assured, I most certainly will bring the Resuscitating Pill into the world!"

"Hahaha, good. If you really manage to refine it someday, I hope I can enjoy a few myself," Medicine King laughed hysterically.

"Of course."

Lin Dong then accepted the formula for the Resuscitating Pill.

After securing the formula, Zhuge Lingyou couldn’t shake off a sense of dissatisfaction and muttered,

"Grandpa, I admit his medical arts are impressive, and I have no objections to apprenticing under him just like Qingdai. But like you said, our family’s ancient alchemist requires one to master ’Controlling Needles with Qi’ for the first step in the refining process!"

"Even though Grandfather Li said he can do it, we haven’t actually witnessed it with our own eyes."

"Grandpa, don’t you think it’s a little hasty to give him the formula just like that?"

"We wouldn’t want to give him our formula only for it to never be refined by him in his lifetime."

Hearing this, Lin Dong realized he had to demonstrate ’Controlling Needles with Qi’ right then and there.

Not just to convince Zhuge Lingyou, but also to put Medicine King’s mind at ease.

Truthfully, Medicine King had been eager to see Lin Dong perform ’Controlling Needles with Qi’ since early in the morning, and at the moment, his eyes were burning with anticipation as he watched Lin Dong.

Even Li Qingyang, though he had seen it once before, wished to witness it again.

As for Li Qingdai, there was no need to mention her desire.

Though Lin Dong’s ’Taiyi Yin-yang Divine Needle’ had already completely won her over, she still wanted to see more of ’Controlling Needles with Qi’.

Seeing this, Lin Dong laughingly said, "Okay then!"

"Who will be the subject?"

Zhuge Lingyou immediately stepped forward and said, "I will."

"Okay, extend your hand," Lin Dong instructed.

Zhuge Lingyou nodded and stretched out his hand.

Lin Dong took out a Filiform Needle and began to channel his Inner Qi, controlling the needle with his Qi.

After he began to control the needle with his Qi, those nearby were astonished to see that Lin Dong wasn’t holding the needle with his hand, but the three-inch Filiform Needle was suspended above his palm.

It was as if there was a force of Qi commanding it.

Zhuge Lingyou was also amazed. How was this possible?

Suddenly, Lin Dong said, "I’m about to start applying the needle."

With that, he channeled Inner Qi.

"How does it feel?" Lin Dong asked.

"It feels like a cold Qi is converging within the acupoint," Zhuge Lingyou replied, surprised.

"And what about now?" Lin Dong asked again.

"Now it’s wind Qi."

"And now?"

"Summer heat Qi!"

"It’s turned into damp Qi now."

"..."

Deeply astonished, Zhuge Lingyou experienced the six pathogens of Traditional Chinese Medicine firsthand.

They are wind, cold, summer heat, dampness, dryness, and fire.

The six Qi constitute nature.

Human bodies also possess these six Qi which, when in excess, display harmful effects on the body, becoming the six pathogens.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, it is believed that these six pathogens are the root causes of sickness.

Of course, these six pathogens Qi can also be used to counteract and neutralize each other to treat diseases and achieve a cure.

And now, Lin Dong was using ’Controlling Needles with Qi’ to let Zhuge Lingyou truly experience these invisible and intangible six Qi.

Such skills were indeed shocking to Zhuge Lingyou!

"Alright."

Lin Dong then finished the acupuncture.

At that moment, Zhuge Lingyou had no more hesitation and bowed to Lin Dong, declaring,

"Apprentice Lingyou greets Master!!"

He was genuinely convinced.

This kid was only in his twenties.

How monstrously gifted he was.

Not only did he know the lost Taiyi Yin-yang Divine Needle, but he also practiced the legendary Controlling Needles with Qi, making him one of the only two existences in this world capable of this feat.

Being an apprentice to such a monstrously talented person was truly an honor for him.

And now he also felt he had made a wise decision.

Such a monstrously gifted individual might really be able to bring the ’Supplementary Yuan Pill’ into the world one day.

"Zhuge Lingyou, you must perform well. Strive to impress him, so that he takes you from apprentice to true disciple!" Zhuge Lingyou secretly said to himself, not content with just being the apprentice to such an extraordinary individual but aspiring to become Lin Dong’s true disciple.

Li Qingdai, who was standing by, was completely won over by Lin Dong as well, sharing a similar sentiment to Zhuge Lingyou!

"Controlling Needles with Qi, it is indeed Controlling Needles with Qi! This old man feels honored today to entrust the ancestral formula to such an exceptional talent in medicine. Surely, it will no longer lie buried in obscurity!"

After speaking, he gave Lin Dong a deep bow.

"I hope Divine Doctor Lin can one day bring the ’Supplementary Yuan Pill’ back to the world! If so, this old man can die without regrets!"

Lin Dong quickly went over to support him, busily saying, "Medicine Elder Wang, I will certainly do my best."

"Bang bang bang!"

At this moment, a series of rapid footsteps approached.

The person arriving was none other than the butler of Medicine King Hall, who immediately spoke up:

"Master, there’s an Honored Guest at the door! They’re here to find you and Old Divine Doctor Li Qingyang!"

"Oh? Who is it? How did they know Old Li was here?" Medicine King inquired.

"They’ve come from Capital City, from the Li Family, Li Yanran!" the butler responded.

"What, Lin Tiance’s younger female cousin, Li Yanran?" Upon hearing the name, both Zhuge Lingyou and Li Qingdai’s faces changed dramatically.

Even the faces of Medicine King and Li Qingyang, the two elders, showed a slight shift.
