Chapter 701: Cultivating the Yin and Yang Energies

Chapter 701 - Cultivating the Yin and Yang Energies

Mamoru Onizuka’s treatment method was considered one of the forbidden techniques in the Imperial Physician Scripture. It might be effective in treating patients, but it will also pose a great side effect to the user. This is also the reason why it was deemed as a forbidden technique in the Imperial Physician Scripture.

When Su Tao treated Kohei Koizumi’s cancer, he had used the Chaotic Yin-Yang Acupuncture Technique, and it was practically the same logic behind Mamoru Onizuka’s treatment methods. This was also the reason why he had spent a long time adjusting his body state. He might have a robust Qi, but he could only use such a forbidden technique a few times in his lifetime. Otherwise, he will be in a similar situation as Mamoru Onizuka.

From a physician’s point of view, there’s a limit to the energy in a human’s body.

For example, a boxer would have a strong physique due to their frequent training, but the moment they reach their middle age, it’s easy for them to suffer from Parkinson’s disease, a long-term degenerative disorder.

Parkinson's disease lies in the brain. The brain produces an organic chemical called Dopamine, which acts as a hormone and neurotransmitter. When there’s an excessive death in the neurons, it will result in Parkinson's disease. Back then, ‘The Greatest,’ Muhammad Ali suffered from Parkinson’s disease. In his career, he suffered over thirty thousand blows to his head, causing the exhaustion of neurons that ultimately led to the disease.

So for everyone, there’s a limit to the usage of everything in their body. If the burden overloads, the function will deteriorate, and this is also the same for Qi. Mamoru Onizuka walked on the Ghost Physician Path, ultimately leading to the over-exhaustion of his Yin energy, resulting in the Greater Yang Syndrome.

Now that the disease has attacked his vitals, he’s approaching death with the Greater Yang Syndrome and Yin Pulse.

If Ling Yu were here, it would be difficult for him to treat Mamoru Onizuka. Ling Yu’s skills might not be inferior compared to Su Tao, but he had cultivated the Rising Dawn Qi, which cultivates the Yang energy. So if he was the one treating Mamoru Onizuka, it’s tough for him to achieve any effects.

Compared to him, Su Tao cultivates both the Yin and Yang energies, seeking a balance in both. So if he was to treat Mamoru Onizuka, it might have an effect.

“I will be using the Chaotic Yin-Yang Acupuncture Technique on you.” Su Tao revealed the treatment method that he intends to perform.

As Mamoru Onizuka was someone who had cultivated Qi, he can control his own Qi during the treatment to coordinate with him.

“So it’s the Chaotic Yin-Yang Acupuncture Technique!” Mamoru Onizuka’s eyes lit up as he continued, “I know about this acupuncture technique. This can only be performed if the user is proficient in both Yin and Yang energies. But it’s a pity that I’m only proficient in one, so it’s hard for me to learn it. But today, it’s an honour that I can witness this forbidden technique.”

Mamoru Onizuka was emotional at this moment. As a physician, he naturally knows that using forbidden techniques would harm the body of the user greatly.

Retrieving his needles from his medicine box, Su Tao started performing the acupuncture.

The Taiyang Bladder Meridians of the Foot has a total of sixty-seven acupoints, starting from Jingming Acupoint and ending with the Zhiyin Acupoint. It is the meridian with the most acupoints out of the fourteen, with one main and three branch meridians. The branches went from the top of the head to the upper ear. So when performing acupuncture, minor details will often be involved.

Along with Su Tao inserting the first needle into Mamoru Onizuka’s acupoint, the latter instantly felt refreshed. The difference between Su Tao and his disciple was simply the distance between heaven and earth.

Furthermore, Su Tao’s acupuncture was accurate.

Not only did it insert the needles accurately, the depth had also undergone profound consideration. After all, meridians are vague, so there’s also a difference between experts.

Then again, only an acupuncture expert like Mamoru Onizuka could tell the difference between Su Tao and Amaki Hamasaki.

This is akin to a competition between two martial artists. It’s impossible for ordinary people to judge the difference in their speed, but in the eyes of veterans, they will be able to see through the profundities.

This is also Su Tao’s second time in performing the Chaotic Yin-Yang Acupuncture Technique. Although he already had experience in it, he could not afford to be careless. Mamoru Onizuka’s condition isn’t the same as Kohei Koizumi. The two might be considered terminal, but the cause of Kohei Koizumi’s condition lies in his lymphatic system, while the cause of Mamoru Onizuka’s condition came from his practically dried up source of Yin energy and the damage to his meridian.

In the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic, if there’s an excess of Yang energy in the body, it’s considered a warm illness, while the excess of Yin energy is considered a cold illness.

Mamoru Onizuka felt a chill surging from the tip of the needles into his body as he subconsciously felt refreshing. It was a completely different sensation compared to Amaki Hamasaki’s treatment.

It felt as if he had entered into an air-conditioned room from a 40°C environment, or eating iced watermelon after a marathon.

For the Greater Yang Syndrome, the patient would sense the internal heat in their bodies that couldn’t be released. But after Su Tao inserted his needle, Mamoru Onizuka instantly felt the internal heat being swiftly regulated to improve his body condition.

However, Su Tao wasn’t having an easy time compared to Mamoru Onizuka.

Mamoru Onizuka can be said to have suffered from his condition for a long time. The five viscera and six bowels will not repair by itself, not to mention that Mamoru Onizuka was getting on with his age. Hence, it’s not easy to reforge his Taiyang Bladder Meridians of the Foot.

As for Amaki Hamasaki, he kept his silence the moment Su Tao started his acupuncture. He had a whole new experience by witnessing Su Tao’s medical skills. He was completely subdued by Su Tao’s medical skills, and so it turns out that what Su Tao had shown previously was just the tip of the iceberg.

Among the audience, there weren’t many who could see through Su Tao’s medical skills.

Kim Jung-ho had also held his breath as he observed Su Tao’s movements and sighed inwardly. Su Tao was truly too terrifying.

The most terrifying person isn’t those who had reached the pinnacle, but those who would keep improving despite standing on the pinnacle, and no one could estimate his finishing line.

Kim Jung-ho wore a bitter smile as Amaki Hamasaki was truly tragic to encounter Su Tao. He will only suffer a greater setback in his heart. Back then, it also took him a long time for him to recover from his loss to Su Tao at the International Medical Summit.

Amaki Hamasaki was doubting his own medical skills. He had always considered that his master was the best physician in the world, and he has confidence in treating any illnesses after receiving his master's teachings.

However, he was helpless against Mamoru Onizuka’s condition, and it was Su Tao’s medical skills that opened his eyes to a whole new world, letting him know that he had been a frog in the well all these while.

At this moment, Su Tao couldn’t be bothered to consider too much as he was immersed in a profound realm. After analysing Mamoru Onizuka’s condition, he gained a whole new understanding of Qi cultivation.

So it turns out that when one reaches the pinnacle in his Qi cultivation, they would have to bear great pressure in their meridians. Furthermore, the situation in their five viscera and six bowels would also change. At this moment, he was actually somewhat perverse as he was thankful that Mamoru Onizuka had given him this opportunity to study his body.

Su Tao would pause briefly after inserting every needle. He wasn’t considering his next step, but he was analysing if the changes in Mamoru Onizuka’s body was just as he had anticipated.

His current mood was the same as walking on thin ice. If he makes a mistake, it will result in the collapse of Mamoru Onizuka’s body, causing the latter to lose his life. So even if he had won a round and got a draw in the other, he would ultimately lose in the competition.

Furthermore, if he had caused the death of Japan’s TCM Grandmaster, he would definitely become a public enemy in Japan’s medical industry.

Hence, this is a competition that he cannot afford to lose. The moment he performed his acupuncture, he only had one goal; to treat Mamoru Onizuka.

As time slowly passed, Su Tao was covered in sweat despite the suitable temperature in the venue. At the same time, his sweat had drenched his clothes.

As he entered into the finest realm, he was able to see things clearly. Furthermore, his understanding of Mamoru Onizuka’s condition was growing. When he finished performing acupuncture on the Taiyang Bladder Channel of Foot, he went on to the Taiyin Spleen Channel of Foot and Taiyin Lung Channel of Hand.

Those two meridians were the source of Yin energy, so after sorting out the Taiyang Bladder Channel of Foot to calm down the Yang energy, he had to consolidate the Yin energy in Mamoru Onizuka’s body.

In this process, Su Tao had performed a miracle as he made use of that tiny trace of Yin energy left.

This is the Heavenseizing Hands, with the ability to bring back the dead, something that topples ordinary understanding of TCM.

As the patient, Mamoru Onizuka felt as if there was a stabbing chill in his body slowly growing. In just a brief moment, it had grown into a massive tree that supported his five viscera and six bowels, forming into a new balance.

Those who have the Greater Yang Syndrome would have an obvious symptom. Their five viscera and six bowels would show signs of deterioration. But at this moment, Mamoru Onizuka felt as if he had changed an entirely new five viscera and six bowels, allowing his withering life to stabilise.

“I have already sorted out the meridians in your body, so how do you feel?” Su Tao’s complexion was abnormally rosy as he had exhausted too much of his Yin energy earlier. It was the same as Mamoru Onizuka, the Yin and Yang had gone off-balance in his body.

However, Su Tao could still restore his balance after some time of adjustment. After all, the source that produces the Yin energy still exists, and he just has to pay attention in the future not to exhaust his Yin energy easily.

Mamoru Onizuka sat up on the bed as he slowly stepped down. All of a sudden, his figure staggered.

Amaki Hamasaki immediately went up to support his master and asked, “Master, are you alright?”

Even the audience had exclaimed out as they thought that an accident had happened to Amaki Hamasaki.

Shaking his head, Mamoru Onizuka smiled, “Let go of me, I’m fine. I just couldn’t get used to the sudden outburst of energy in my body.”

After that, he gently pushed Amaki Hamasaki away and walked around the bed twice before he tried jogging around the stage.

Looking at this scene, Su Tao sighed inwardly. Amaki Hamasaki was truly a famous physician. He had a great understanding of his body. Through this exercise after his treatment, he can rely on his breathing to improve his body better.
