"What... kind of needle technique is this?"
Ping Wenfu and everyone else were profoundly shocked!
The world is vast and full of wonders.
There is karma in causality, what goes around comes around.
Golden Needle twisting is complete, and with a fluid motion like a dragonfly skimming the water, one needle after another is pulled out.
Whoosh, whoosh whoosh...
The speed is absolutely astonishing.
The lingering shadows in the air already proved this point.
Seeing this, both Gu Zhenxiong and Gu Yanghong were full of surprise.
"When did Mr. Fang master such a magical array? It’s utterly unheard of."
Fang Yu merely smiled slightly and said:
"Huaxia traditional medicine is profound and vast, and the art of acupuncture is even more mysterious. The technique I just used is called ’Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles.’ The universe follows a cycle, and life revolves around karma. The old Sect Master is blessed with long life; it’s not yet his time to leave..."
"Boasting empty words, simply spouting nonsense. Without the Life Extension Pill, the old Sect Master’s time is drawing near. Who do you think you are?"
Ping Wenfu, already disappointed with Fang Yu’s actions and with the Sect Master’s condition worsening; he was on the brink of collapse, "I must investigate today’s matter thoroughly. Gu Zhenxiong, both of you acted recklessly, disregarding the safety of the old Sect Master, I will report this to the Law Enforcement Elders Hall! As for this ignorant young doctor from Jiangzhou, from today onwards he shall be imprisoned at Taia Mountain’s Herbal Medicine Institute, spending his life with herbs!"
Fang Yu shook his head, completely ignoring Ping Wenfu’s anger—
"Ping Wenfu, tell me. Why is the old Sect Master nearing his end?"
"Since you are a doctor, you should diagnose him yourself. Why ask me?" Ping Wenfu glared.
Fang Yu smiled faintly and said:
"The Life Extension Pill contains a trace Element that promotes the growth of the body’s cells. Over time, the body’s cells become dependent on this trace Element. Once the supply of the Life Extension Pill stops, those cells that rely on the Element start dying rapidly, and their growth rate plummets... That is the main reason for the old Sect Master’s accelerated aging."
Hearing this.
Ping Wenfu frowned deeply.
He didn’t understand what trace Elements meant, but he caught on to the crucial three words from Fang Yu’s speech—Life Extension Pill.
"The Life Extension Pill is like a drug, once consumed, it’s hard to give up. After all, the value it brings far outweighs its negative effects. A thousand years of life... how much wealth would it take to buy such value?"
"Besides, the old Sect Master’s Inner Essence in his Dantian has reached a bottleneck, lacking activity, and unable to stir up vitality. The Spiritual Energy of Taia Mountain is also not as dense as before."
These words, one by one, all fell into Ping Wenfu’s ears.
"It sounds pleasant. If the Spiritual Energy were abundant, how could Life Extension Grass possibly be scarce? With the Life Extension Pill, the old Sect Master wouldn’t be like this today..."
Ping Wenfu’s emotions suddenly surged, "Out of the Purple Sun Hall. After so much talk, the old Sect Master still shows no improvement. Gu Zhenxiong, Gu Yanghong, you two just await the Sect’s punishment!"
However...
Just as he had finished speaking.
The old Sect Master on the bed suddenly opened his eyes sharply.
"Oh—"
He exhaled a puff of stale breath.
His eyes wide open, staring fixedly at the ceiling!
For a moment, the entire place fell silent.
The young Disciples of the Taia Sect were utterly in disbelief staring at the old Sect Master who had suddenly opened his eyes...
Gu Zhenxiong and Gu Yanghong were also stunned in place.
The most surprised was Ping Wenfu, a Ninth Grade Grandmaster Level Doctor of the Taia Sect!
His fingers trembling, his face full of astonishment, his expression rapidly changing, a mix of joy and shock.
The old Sect Master, personally examined by him, had, after an acupuncture session by a Chinese medicine practitioner... woken up?
This...
How is this possible!
The entire hall was exceptionally quiet.
No one spoke.
They were confirming if this was indeed real.
Only Fang Yu had anticipated the outcome and watched the old Sect Master with a calm expression.
After a moment of silence—
The old Sect Master suddenly exhaled, and his eyes gradually began to show life as he looked around.
Familiar scenes, familiar faces...
Finally, his gaze fell on the young man in front of him, Fang Yu.
He was the only one with a face unknown to him.
"I felt as if I was in a prolonged dream, an endless darkness and field, devoid of any light, devoid of any human presence... I walked in this boundless darkness, yet I could never reach the end."
He sighed, continuing, "It really was a very long dream... Just when I thought this endless darkness would never have tranquility, a dawn light appeared straight ahead of me. I followed that light, walking on and on... Heaven and earth parted, yin and yang distinctly separated... I truly believed, I could not return..."
The hall remained quiet.
Many swallowed hard, their faces in shock.
Gu Zhenxiong and his brother were so excited they were on the verge of tears.
Finally...
Fang Yu spoke lightly, saying, "Fu Xi, you finally decided to wake up."
Everyone was shocked.
Fu Xi, this was the Taia Sect old Sect Master’s original name.
Over the past thousand years, no one dared to utter his name directly.
Why did this young man dare to be so bold?
If it was before, no matter what, all of Taia Sect would fight this greatly disrespectful Fang Yu to the death. But... just moments ago, Fang Yu had performed an unfathomably miraculous acupuncture technique and revived the old Sect Master!
How could they dare to act rashly?
Ping Wenfu’s heart was reeling with shock and agitations.
Even the old Sect Master’s cloudy eyes couldn’t help but become clearer, and his gaze landed on Fang Yu... Despite his advanced age and nearing his end, he was gradually able to recognize from the familiar stance, demeanor, and the way his name was called.
Just as he was about to speak.
Fang Yu declared, "Those unrelated, leave!"
No one moved.
The young disciples looked at each other, unsure if they should leave.
At that moment—
The old Sect Master’s steady voice rang out: "All leave."
The young disciples hesitated for a moment, then quickly bowed: "Yes!"
"Wenfu stays."
Ping Wenfu, who was about to leave, stayed upon seeing this, his expression slightly agitated.
Fang Yu glanced at Ping Wenfu and calmly said, "Since Fu Xi asked you to stay, then stay. Just listen carefully."
This...
Ping Wenfu didn’t want to argue... After all, he had saved the old Sect Master, a tremendous favor. Even if he was scolded a few times, what did it matter? One must still be conscientious.
The old Sect Master nodded, his gaze falling once more on Fang Yu, still somewhat in disbelief.
Gu Zhenxiong then excitedly said, "Old Sect Master... this person... is the Mr. Fang I mentioned to you. He is also our Taia Sect’s great benefactor!"
The old Sect Master, a person of great repute, after some observation and judgment... made his decision.
Before he could speak.
Fang Yu smiled first and said, "You, have aged."
