NOVEL NEXT Chapter 3
Chapter 3: The Legacy of the Medicine King, Taiyi Divine Needle!:
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Jiang Bai and Tang Zhong began to lay out their medical tools.
During this process, Jiang Bai continuously massaged Bai Su’s temples to make her feel a bit more comfortable.
Neither Jiang Bai nor Tang Zhong noticed that Bai Su, who seemed to be unconscious, had a sweet smile at the corner of her mouth.
As expected, he was still as gentle as before.
No one knew that Bai Su had already cycled through the script in this book for ten lifetimes!
Initially, when she first played her role, she found Jiang Bai’s pursuit somewhat unsettling. She thought Jiang Bai was too superficial and not someone she could trust.
However, by the final chapter, Bai Su suddenly realized that Jiang Bai’s love for her had always been unwavering!
More importantly, from beginning to end, Jiang Bai had never harmed her.
Every time she was wronged, it was Jiang Bai who stepped forward. Whenever she felt lonely, Jiang Bai would take her to watch fireworks by the river.
The only bold move he had ever made was stealing her first kiss at the grand finale.
Initially, Bai Su had no strong feelings about it. But with each rebirth, Jiang Bai repeatedly took her first kiss and died in front of her each time. Even though Bai Su’s heart was like a block of ice, it couldn’t resist such a passionate flame.
In the previous life, Bai Su had impulsively asked, “Jiang Bai, if you hadn’t met me on the train and offended Tang Zhong, you wouldn’t have ended up in such a miserable state, betrayed by everyone and completely bankrupt. So, do you regret it?”
Jiang Bai’s answer was, “Even if history proves that loving you was a mistake, I would still…never admit it!”
At that moment, Bai Su knew she had completely fallen for this man!
For this reason, having experienced ten lifetimes and granted one wish to return to the real world, she chose to reset everything!
As a favor, Bai Su could slightly alter the storyline!
Feeling Jiang Bai’s breath close to her, Bai Su couldn’t help but think of the song Jiang Bai loved to sing to her:
> Because I dreamed of you leaving,
> I woke up crying.
> Watching the night wind blow past the window,
> Can you feel my love?
> When we grow old one day,
> Will you still be by my side?
> All those vows and lies,
> Drift away with the past.
> Many loved you in your youth,
> But who can endure the changes of time?
> Many came and went in your life,
> But who would stay by your side for a lifetime?
> My beloved man,
> In this life, let me stay by your side.
At this moment, following the original plot, Jiang Bai took out an acupuncture set from his pocket.
With incredible speed, he inserted twelve needles into specific points, deep and shallow, without any pauses, dazzling the crowd like a magic show!
The elderly man from earlier was astonished, exclaiming, “Xiao Xuebeng! This young man has mastered Xiao Xuebeng! It’s a unique skill of the Taiyi Divine Needle!”
A nearby student from Southern Medical University asked eagerly, “Sir, what is Xiao Xuebeng, and how is it related to the Taiyi Divine Needle?”
The elderly man, visibly excited, explained, “The Taiyi Divine Needle is a secret passed down by the Medicine King, Sun Simiao! According to ancient records, the Taiyi Divine Needle requires a silver needle of one inch and six parts, used with three releases and three lifts, ending with the ‘Wolong Pose’. It not only nourishes the body but also expels internal cold!”
Hearing this, the crowd looked at Jiang Bai with even more admiration. But only Jiang Bai himself felt a touch of bitterness. He had to admit that the old doctor was knowledgeable and precise. However, he had overlooked one thing: to fully utilize the Taiyi Divine Needle, internal energy was necessary. And that was Jiang Bai’s weakness!
The internal energy technique, the ‘Taoist Twelve Patterns’, was a closely guarded secret of Tang Zhong’s sect, which Jiang Bai had not learned by the end of the novel.
According to the plot, Jiang Bai’s flashy performance only partially expelled the cold and failed to wake Bai Su. In the end, it was the protagonist Tang Zhong, with his internal energy, who healed her with a single needle, showcasing a stark contrast in their abilities.
As expected, seeing Jiang Bai’s lack of internal energy, Tang Zhong taunted, “With your needlework, it’s not even a question of whether you can wake this lady. To fully expel the cold, you’d need to perform it once a day for a month! I advise you to give up early.”
Despite knowing the outcome, Jiang Bai pretended to be confident, saying, “You never know unless you try!”
With no hope left, Jiang Bai pulled out the last needle slowly.
Bai Su remained motionless.
Tang Zhong’s face broke into an uncontrollable grin. He then loudly asked, “Does anyone have a silver needle I can borrow? Today, I’ll show you what the real Taiyi Divine Needle looks like!”
At this moment, everyone’s eyes were on Tang Zhong. But then, an alluring voice broke the tension, “No need, Jiang Bai has already cured me.”
Cured?
Tang Zhong looked down in shock.
Bai Su, who should have been in a deep coma, was now sitting up, her complexion rosy!
