Chapter 568: Ling Yun Receives the Nine Needles, Five Elements!

Ling Yun’s interest was piqued when he saw the gold bricks. His Adam’s apple trembled, and his eyes lit up. He walked to the pile and picked up two gold bars in his hands.

“Ning Er, where is your scale?”

“No need. Each of them weighs 25 kg…”

If each of them weighed 25 kg, six of them would weigh 150 kg in total. The current value of gold was 275 yuan per gram. That meant that it was worth a total of 40 million yuan!

Qin Dongxue had just given him a cheque for 500 million yuan. He had yet to dip into it, and now these gold bricks had arrived!

Ling Yun almost salivated.

“Hehe, so big and heavy. This is probably an excellent tool to hit someone on the head!”

Ling Yun took one gold bricks in each hand and played happily with them.

Only Ling Yun would think of using the gold bricks to attack someone instead of hiding them.

“Eh?” Xue Meining was a little stunned from the different way Big Brother Yun responded. Why didn’t she think of that?

She sneaked a peek at Ling Yun and continued in a low voice, “These were what my big sister brought with her when she left home. She has no more use for them now that she has seen Grandpa, so she’s giving them to you…”

Gold was definitely a hard currency. It could be turned into cash almost immediately without much loss in value.

Miao Xiaomiao brought so much gold with her for a trip. Much could be said about the financial might of the Miaojiang Tribe.

Ling Yun was shocked.

“Hehe, your big sister is too nice. She is giving me such a huge gift even though I’m only opening a small clinic. How can I accept this, wahahaha…”

Ling Yun’s actions differed 180 degrees from his words. He stored all six gold bricks into his spatial ring. He put them all into the Shennong Cauldron since his spatial ring was beginning to get cramped.

There were too many random things instead. Ling Yun was waiting for an opportunity to upgrade it.

Ling Yun put the gift away quickly and started to play the blame game shamelessly. “Ning Er, you have to be careful of your sister. She has given me such a huge gift suddenly. She might want to snatch me away from you! I’m not about to agree to it!”

“Rubbish! You shameless, greedy man!” Miao Xiaomiao cursed in the room beside them!

Miao Xiaomiao covered her head with her blanket, not wanting to hear the dialogue between Ling Yun and Ning Er. It was strange, though, because Ling Yun’s voice still somehow made it through to her.

Xue Meining rolled her eyes at Ling Yun and looked at him as though he were an idiot. “What are you thinking! My big sister gave you this because you saved Grandpa Xue’s life and also promised to help him and Grandma Miao get back together. She gave it to you to thank you!”

Ling Yun didn’t care about the reason behind the gift. He would keep it anyway.

Ling Yun would never sell the gold no matter how much money he could exchange it for. Gold was great material for the refining vessels phase he would soon be embarking on. He had to procure it in huge quantities anyway.

To exchange some waste paper or imaginary electronic numbers with metal, that would be a fool’s doing.

Of course, normal people would also think Ling Yun a fool for melting the gold.

“Ning Er, look. I have written down the Nine Needles of the Spiritual Pivot for you. It contains all the principles of acupuncture and techniques. Study and absorb it…

“The Nine Needles of the Spiritual Pivot rely purely on the counteractions of the Five Elements. This is similar to Traditional Chinese Medicine. The emphasis is on understanding and practice. You don’t need to memorize it, but internalize it…”

Ling Yun became serious as he moved on to the main business.

“Big Brother Yun, I know. Traditional Chinese Medicine treats the cause of the illness. But how do you cure so many patients instantly?” Xue Meining asked curiously.

Some injuries may not be difficult to cure, but the difficulty was in the long and arduous time required for it to heal.

That was why Ling Yun’s Nine Needles of the Spiritual Pivot was valuable. Xue Meining hit the crux of the question.

Ling Yun giggled. “The Spirit Potency Art is at the heart. As long as the wielder of the Nine Needles of the Spiritual Pivot has spiritual energy, the spiritual energy can travel through the needles into the patient’s body. It can repair their lesions and directly suppress or resolve the source of the disease…”

The reason the Nine Needles of the Spiritual Pivot was so marvelous was because it needed to be coupled with spiritual energy. Spiritual energy was slightly more important than the technique.

“Big Brother Yun, my grandpa can do the same with his spiritual energy, so why can’t he cure patients instantly?” Xue Meining understood the essence but continued to pursue with her curiosity.

“Ning Er, be careful. The Nine Needles of the Spiritual Pivot does not cure a patient immediately. It’s a relative statement.” Ling Yun cleared up Xue Meining’s first misunderstanding.

“That differs depending on person and disease. Do you remember the old man we helped when he got into an accident? He injured his brain. I used the Nine Needles of the Spiritual Pivot to treat him then, but he needed at least three weeks to fully recover. Hmm… He should be fully recovered by now…”

“It’s the same for Grandpa Xue. If the illness was mild, Grandpa Xue would also be able to cure the patient instantly. For those who are gravely ill, it would naturally be difficult to treat. For example, he couldn’t do anything for Li Qingchuan…”

“But Big Brother Yun, you cured him after treating him once! Is this due to the spiritual energy and the Nine Needles of the Spiritual Pivot?” Xue Meining interjected.

Ling Yun shook his head lightly. “That is only one of the reasons. The other reason is that it’s necessary to use the principle of counteraction from the Five Elements in the deployment of the acupuncture technique. You have to use counter spiritual energy to suppress the source of the injury. That way, the treatment will be fast and effective…”

“At the same time, the effect of your treatment will be even better when you are able to use more spiritual energy in a go. You may even be able to cure someone instantly!

“Miracle Doctor Xue became Huaxia’s top doctor because his physical attribute is wood. His True Qi naturally has a strong vitality…

“That is also why Grandpa Xue had the confidence to guarantee Li Qingchuan could live to forty years old…”

“Is that so?” Xue Meining nodded and exclaimed as she heard Ling Yun’s sound analysis.

“Big Brother Yun, what physical attribute do I have then?”

“Ning Er has four of the Five Elements. Your strongest attribute is water, and you lack earth.” Ling Yun smiled.

Earth represented grounded while water represented change.

Xue Meining’s unpredictable personality was related to the Five Elements.

“What about my big sister?”

“Her? She’s the same as your grandpa, the wood attribute. That’s why she flares up so easily!”

The first part of Ling Yun’s sentence was true, while the rest of it was him just fooling around. Miao Xiaomiao cursed again when she heard what he said.

“If I lack earth, does that mean there are some patients I can’t treat?” Xue Meining asked with great concern.

Everyone at her age thinks of themselves as perfect and lacking in nothing. Xue Meining was already very special to have four of the Five Elements, but she wasn’t satisfied.

“That’s where you’re wrong, Ning Er. These aren’t absolute! In all seriousness, everyone has all five elements. Have you forgotten that everyone has five viscera and six bowels? No viscera can be missing.”

“Once you master the Spirit Potency Art, you can absorb the spiritual energy of the Five Elements. I’m imparting the Nine Needles of the Spiritual Pivot to you to lay a good foundation for the Five Elemental God Acupuncture next time! That is my specialty!”

“Oh! There is a Five Elemental God Acupuncture?” Xue Meining’s voice heightened in shock.

She really didn’t think that Ling Yun would mention the Five Elemental God Acupuncture when she hadn’t started the Nine Needles of the Spiritual Pivot.

“Of course, there are so many more things that Big Brother Yun has to teach you. You don’t need to fret, pace your learning,” Ling Yun caressed Xue Meining’s long hair and said ever so gently.

Ling Yun raised his voice so that Miao Xiaomiao could hear.

Miao Xiaomiao was also Miracle Doctor Xue’s darling granddaughter. Moreover, she had given such a great gift. Ling Yun wouldn’t be stingy with her.

However, he wasn’t so interested as to use his divine sense to observe her. He did what he should. If Miao Xiaomiao didn’t hear it, that was her business.

Miao Xiaomiao was also stunned at the explanation of the Nine Needles of the Spiritual Pivot and the Five Elements!

Miao Fenghuang had always been cultivating Miao Xiaomiao as the Holy Virgin of her generation.

She naturally taught Miao Xiaomiao the Art of Gu. Since she knew the Art of Gu, she would also be well-versed in medicine. The Holy Virgin of Miaojiang knew no less about medicine than Miracle Doctor Xue. In fact, Miao Xiaomiao’s current medical skills were far superior to Xue Meining.

Ling Yun’s explanation was easy to understand. Miao Xiaomiao knew most of it, but he managed to startle her with his explanation of the spiritual energy and the Spirit Potency Art.

The Spirit Potency Art could absorb and adjust the spiritual energy of the Five Elements. That would become a great help to the Art of Gu!

He’s so knowledgeable…

Miao Xiaomiao’s heart moved for Ling Yun a third time. She suddenly felt her heart shudder in secret!
