Chapter 481 Acupuncture

After contemplating for a moment, Joshua realized what was happening. "Master, are you testingme?" he asked.

"Test you? Just see if you can treat him already!" Daniel replied.

"Give me a moment, let me examine him first," Joshua said, as he grabbed Kind's wrist to check hispulse. This examination took a full five minutes.

Once he was done, Joshua turned to Daniel and explained, "Master, I've figured it out. According tomodern medicine, he could be declared deceased. But in the realm of traditional healing, there's stilla sliver of hope. However, it’s one in a million."

"Then get to work and treat the patient!"

"Master, that's a tall order! When I say there's a one in a million chance, it means that only youwould have the possibility of bringing Mr. Zhao back. My medical knowledge isn't enough to evenknow where to begin."

"Since I've officially taken you as my student today, I can't let you call me 'Master' for nothing. I’llteach you a set of needle techniques called The Seven Dragon Divine Needles. If perfected, it canbring the dead back to life."

No sooner had Daniel finished speaking than Pork let out a scoff. "Ha! There you go, boastingagain! The Seven Dragon Divine Needles? Resurrecting the dead? You're really pushing the limitsof tall tales."

Daniel ignored Pork's mockery and picked up the first of the Seven Dragon Needles, aiming for anacupoint on Kind.

"This first needle will awaken the senses of a patient in a state of suspended animation. He will kickhis legs vigorously, much like a frog leaping out of water."

Daniel's explanation immediately set Pork off into a tirade. "You're the frog, country boy! You’redisrespecting my Grandpa!"

Jessica, also irritated, gave Daniel a sharp twist on the waist without saying a word. After her firmpinch, she scolded, "Idiot, if you don't know how to speak properly, keep your mouth shut!"

"What do you mean, 'not speaking properly'? I'm not making this up! The needle technique I learnedis explained just like that. Straightforward and easy to understand – it’s like a frog kicking!"

With that, Daniel assured, "If you don’t believe me, just watch. Once I insert this needle, I guaranteethe patient will kick!"

Without further ado, Daniel inserted the needle. To an outsider, the technique seemedunremarkable, but to Joshua, an expert, it was astonishing. Although he understood the technique,he absolutely could not perform it with such refined skill. Such mastery of the first needle wouldnormally take decades to perfect, yet his Master was only in his twenties. With such young age, topossess such skill?

The more Joshua observed, the more humbled he felt, as if he had lived his life in vain.

After Daniel had inserted the needle, Kind’s legs did not move. Pork seized the opportunity to sneeronce more.

"Heh," he chortled before pointing at Kind and taunting Daniel, "Country boy, you've only insertedthe first needle and already it’s a bust, right? Has the patient moved?"
