Hearing Wu Lei's words, I couldn't help but blush. Actually, I was influenced by his integrity, which was why I said those words.
"Uncle Wu, you're flattering me."
I waved my hand. This was the boss of Hua Xia's top circle. It was easy to get lost in his praise. What I needed to do was to maintain a humble heart.
There was no doubt that there was no harm in building a good relationship with such a big shot. For example, the matter of the Blood Demon had been kept a secret for the time being. However, I had a faint premonition that it wouldn't be long before the truth would be revealed. If that happened, it would be too much for just Grandmaster Chen and Director Du to protect me. So, other than increasing my strength, making connections was also an indispensable shortcut to growth.
"No, you deserve this kind of honor. Among all the young talents that I have met, you are the most special one!" Wu Lei patted my shoulder and looked at me with a meaningful gaze.
This simple action made my heart shiver. The most special?
Could it be that Wu Lei knew that the Blood Demon was caused by me?!
The National Security Department, as the name suggested, was in charge of the country's security. The existence of the Blood Demon had seriously threatened the operation of the city. Although it was only in the Nan Yun area, if the Blood Demon returned to its peak, it would be a disaster for Hua Xia. I felt that the National Security Department must have some secret information. When the Blood Demon took over my body, my clothes were shattered. I said that I wanted to put on my clothes, but I ended up barging into an office and causing a disaster.
Even if the Blood Demon was escaping at an astonishing speed, it was hard to avoid leaving traces in the current situation where there were cameras all over the streets. Moreover, the Blood Demon had fought against two people at the same time, causing a huge commotion. Although it was the outskirts of Kun City, there were still people living there.
Wow, if I was treated as the Blood Demon's accomplice, it would be embarrassing. Previously, I had escaped from Ye Duzui's interrogation, but I still felt that he had done me a favor and purposely did Grandmaster Chen a favor. If it was someone else investigating me, I was afraid that I wouldn't be so lucky.
"How about we strike while the iron is hot and start the treatment now?" I couldn't help but change the topic.
"Okay, okay!" Wu Lei agreed. He couldn't hide the joy on his face.
Then, I took out the silver needles and searched my brain. Acupuncture and moxibustion contained a lot of knowledge. The King of Medicine, Sun Simiao, was famous for his Mingtang Acupuncture Diagram and Ghastly Thirteen Needles. They were the essence of the art.
As my martial arts improved, my understanding of the Medicine King's inheritance also increased. However, I didn't have any confidence in dealing with such a difficult problem that was close to an incurable disease. Previously, I had made things clear. To put it bluntly, Wu Lei was just a lab rat. From her appearance, it seemed like she didn't mind being a lab rat.
At this moment, I became more serious than ever. I pinched each acupuncture point accurately, including the time and depth of the needles. Guan Ruolan went back to her room. Although she wanted to see my serious expression, she was afraid that she would disturb me. Moreover, Wu Lei had to take off her clothes to cooperate with the treatment. She was still a virgin, so it wasn't convenient for her to stay by his side.
Elder Guan, on the other hand, didn't even blink his eyes. He didn't want to miss any details. In fact, a few ordinary silver needles had many effects. However, each person had a different way of inserting the needles, so the effects would be different.
What's more, it had the opposite effect, bringing painful memories to the patient. Nowadays, some of the acupuncture and massage parlors outside had people who knew a little about it, while some were simply forcing ducks onto a perch, casually giving a few pointers to fool the customers.
As time passed, the reputation of acupuncture and massage parlors was affected. This skill had a long history, and it could be said that it was the crystallization of the wisdom of our country's ancient people. Elder Guan relied on his knowledge of Chinese medicine to understand it. However, my acupuncture technique wasn't ordinary. It didn't seem like something an eighteen or nineteen-year-old young man would have. Even he felt ashamed of his inferiority.
Elder Guan had thought about asking me where my teacher was. If he had the chance, he would pay a visit. However, he was a little nervous. My medical knowledge and practical skills were already so amazing, let alone the person who taught me. Even though Elder Guan was well-respected in Beijing, he didn't become arrogant. If he met an otherworldly expert, he wouldn't even have the qualifications to carry his shoes. How could he pay a visit?
It wasn't that he was putting on airs. In this day and age, it was hard for people of different levels to interact. If he didn't know me, Elder Guan wouldn't believe that Nan Yun had such a medical genius.
So, after some hesitation, Elder Guan suppressed his curiosity. If he brought it up, he would be despised by the otherworldly expert. He might not even have the chance to come into contact with me in the future. That would be a real loss.
Everyone knew that the reason why cancer was called an incurable disease was because the cancer cells' ability to spread was very strong. It was like a wildfire that couldn't be extinguished. Some cancers, such as breast cancer, could be stopped in time by removing it. However, the organs in the body weren't so easy to deal with.
If you wanted to kill the tenacious cancer cells, you would usually have to undergo chemotherapy. However, this method of diagnosis would cause irreversible damage to the patient. It could only be said that there was no other way.
As of now, I had great attainments in martial arts. In addition, my medical skills had improved by leaps and bounds. Facing cancer, I wasn't helpless.
While I was inserting the needles, I closed my eyes. Strands of energy seeped into the needles. In my mind, the situation of Wu Lei's flesh and blood appeared.
It was relatively easy for a martial artist to look inside themselves. However, if they wanted to see the situation of others, it would be a little difficult. This was also the reason why no one found out that Blood Demon was hiding in my Dantian even when I went to the Elite Selection.
Through my understanding of acupuncture and my dual energy, I was able to achieve this. It was almost the same as going to the hospital to take an X-ray.
Not long after, I determined the general situation of the cancer cells. A healthy person was like a clear well, and these cancer cells were like useless garbage. If they weren't dealt with in time, they would only grow stronger. However, after being polluted, it was impractical to want the well to return to its original clear state.
