nAfter sitting down, Huang Tai’an brewed a pot of tea and poured a cup for Yang Luo and Cao Jisheng.

nYang Luo took the teacup and took a sip. Then, he pointed at the bronze man and asked curiously, “Elder Huang, is this the acupuncture bronze figurine?”

n“Master, you really have good eyesight.”

nHuang Tai’an smiled and said, “This is indeed an acupuncture bronze figurine, but this is not an authentic Acupuncture Bronze Figurine. I merely ordered someone to imitate it.” Cao Jisheng joked, “How could this old man have a genuine artifact?

n“Currently, the only Acupuncture Bronze Figurine in China is kept in a Chinese museum.”

n“Oh…”

nYang Luo nodded in realization.

nThe original acupuncture bronze figurines were a creation of the the Northern Song Imperial Physician King.

nIts height was similar to that of a normal adult. The front and back of the chest could be opened and closed, and the internal organs were carved out in the body. There were acupuncture points on the surface of the bronze man, and the name of each point was engraved beside the acupuncture point.

nAt the same time, yellow wax was used to seal the acupoints on the bronze man’s exterior, which were filled with water.

nIf the acupuncture needle was inserted accurately, the needle would enter and the water would flow out. If the acupuncture point was not accurately positioned, the needle could not pierce through.

nThe Acupuncture Bronze Figurine was undoubtedly the best tool for Chinese medicine to practice acupuncture.

nYang Luo suddenly thought of something and asked, “There seems to be more than one Acupuncture Bronze Figurine, right? Where did the others go?”

nHuang Tai’an sighed and said, “There is indeed more than one acupuncture bronze figurine. In fact, there are three that are perfectly preserved.

nOne of them is in our Chinese museum, and the other two are in Country Sakura and Country Kimchi.

n“Of those two, one was taken away by Country Sakura, and the other was bought by Country Sakura at a worldwide auction.”

n“I see.”

nYang Luo slowly clenched his fists and said in a trembling voice, “The Acupuncture Bronze Figurine is a treasure of our country!

nOne day, I will let the other two Acupuncture Bronze Figurines return to China!”

n“Well said!”

nCao Jisheng slammed the table and exclaimed, “The treasure that belongs to our country will one day return!”

nHuang Tai’an also said agitatedly, “For this, our Chinese Traditional Chinese Medicine will work hard for the rest of our lives!”

nAfter calming down, Huang Tai’an asked, “Master, what do you want to discuss with us?”

nYang Luo took out a piece of paper and handed it to Huang Tai’an, “This is a prescription for alchemy. I’m currently collecting the herbs on it.

nThose items which had circles drawn around it had already been collected. Those who had no circles drawn were those who had yet to be collected.

n“Therefore, I want to ask Elder Huang to help me gather the herbs on it.”

n“Master, you know how to refine pills?!”

nHuang Tai’an’s eyes widened when he received the prescription.

n“I understand a little.”

nYang Luo nodded.

n“Master is indeed not an ordinary person. Nowadays, there are only a few people in China who know how to refine pills.”

nHuang Tai’an sighed and said, “Master, don’t worry. I’ll keep an eye out for you.

n“If i find the herbs on this paper, 1’11 send them to you immediately.”

nAs he spoke, he thought for a moment and quickly got up. He took out a sandalwood box from the desk drawer and rushed over to hand it to Yang Luo.

n“Master, this is a hundred-year-old ginseng given to me by an old friend of mine. It should be useful to you.”

nYang Luo took the box and opened it to take a look.

nAs expected, there was an authentic loo-year-old ginseng inside.

nAlthough the medicinal properties were far superior to ginseng that was less than a thousand years old, it could also replace the ingredients used to refine pills.

nYang Luo closed the box and said, “Elder Huang, I really need this hundred-year-old ginseng.

nName your price. I’ll transfer the money to you now.”

nHuang Tai’an waved his hands. “Master, how can I take your money? You’re treating me like an outsider!

nIf you need it, just take it!”

n“Alright, I’ll accept it then.”

nYang Luo nodded.

n“Old Cao, don’t you have a hundred-year-old Lingzhi? Quickly take it out and give it to Master!”

nHuang Tai’an said to Cao Jisheng.

nCao Jisheng rolled his eyes and said, “1 don’t need you to tell me that. I’ve already given it to Master!”

nYang Luo smiled and said, “That’s right. A few days ago, Elder Cao gave me that hundred-year-old Lingzhi.”

nHuang Tai’an shook his head and said, “You actually beat me to it.”

nCao Jisheng chuckled and said, “That’s why I’m the senior brother now, and you’re the junior brother.

n“Old Huang, why aren’t you calling me Senior Brother?”

nHuang Tai’an glared at him, “My medical skills are better than yours. There’s no way you can be my senior brother!”

nSeeing that the two old men were about to quarrel again, Yang Luo hurriedly interrupted, “Elder Huang, Elder Cao, since you’ve acknowledged me as your master, 1 naturally have to give you some pointers.

nTell me, what do you want me to point out?”

nUpon hearing this, Huang Tai’an and Cao Jisheng turned their heads at the same time and looked at Yang Luo with excitement.

nThe reason why they were willing to acknowledge Yang Luo as their master was to obtain Yang Luo’s guidance.

nNow that the opportunity was right in front of them, they naturally wanted to seize it.

nHuang Tai’an said, “Master, 1 learned an acupuncture technique called the Nine Needles of Revolving Yang.

nUnfortunately, this acupuncture technique is incomplete. The last three needles were not recorded, so 1 could not learn the complete technique.

n“Master, do you know anything about the Nine Needles of Revolving Yang?”

n“Of course I do.”

nYang Luo smiled and said, “I even know the complete Nine Needles of Revolving Yang.”

n“Really?!”

nHuang Tai’an was extremely excited. He quickly stood up and bowed, “Master, please guide me!”

n“Alright, I’ll teach you now!”

nYang Luo nodded and walked to the Acupuncture Bronze Figurine that was 1.75 meters tall.

nHuang Tai’an and Cao Jisheng followed behind.

nYang Luo glanced at the Acupuncture Bronze Figurine and said, “Elder Huang, I’ll use this Acupuncture Bronze Figurine to demonstrate the Nine Needles of Revolving Yang for you.

nTake a good look and learn.”

n“Yes, Master!”

nHuang Tai’an nodded repeatedly and quickly brought over a box of silver needles.

nYang Luo did not hesitate. Instead, he picked up a silver needle, slowed down, and shot it out!

nSwish!

nIn an instant!

nThe first silver needle stabbed firmly into an acupuncture point of the Acupuncture Bronze Figurine!

nAfter the first needle was inserted, Yang Luo continued to perform the next few acupunctures without any hesitation!

nSwish! Swish! Swish! Swish!

nSilver needles streaked across the sky and shone with a resplendent silver light as they accurately stabbed into each acupuncture point!

nBy the time the sixth needle landed, Huang Tai’an was already so excited that his entire body was trembling!

nInitially, he had some doubts, but now, he no longer had any doubts!

nYang Luo really knew the Nine Needles of Revolving Yang, and he was even more proficient than him, who had studied it for decades!

nAt the thought that he could finally learn the last three needles, his eyes turned red!

nCao Jisheng was also full of admiration for Yang Luo.

nAlthough he was best at pharmacology, he was also proficient in acupuncture. It was just that he could not compare to Huang Tai’an.

nYang Luo said loudly, “Elder Huang, watch carefully. 1’11 demonstrate the seventh needle now!”

n“Yes!”

nHuang Tai’an nodded heavily. He widened his eyes and stared intently at Yang Luo’s hand.

nVery quickly, Yang Luo’s wrist shook lightly!

nSwish!

nThe seventh silver needle shot out and pierced another acupuncture point!
