After sitting down, Huang Taian brewed a pot of tea and poured a cup for Yang Luo and Cao Jisheng.

Yang 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?

Master, you really have good eyesight.

Huang Taian 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?

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

Oh

Yang Luo nodded in realization.

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

Its 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.

At the same time, yellow wax was used to seal the acupoints on the bronze mans exterior, which were filled with water.

If 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.

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

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

Huang Taian sighed and said, There is indeed more than one acupuncture bronze figurine. In fact, there are three that are perfectly preserved.

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

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

I see.

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

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

Well said!

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

Huang Taian also said agitatedly, For this, our Chinese Traditional Chinese Medicine will work hard for the rest of our lives!

After calming down, Huang Taian asked, Master, what do you want to discuss with us?

Yang Luo took out a piece of paper and handed it to Huang Taian, This is a prescription for alchemy. Im currently collecting the herbs on it.

Those 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.

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

Master, you know how to refine pills?!

Huang Taians eyes widened when he received the prescription.

I understand a little.

Yang Luo nodded.

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

Huang Taian sighed and said, Master, dont worry. Ill keep an eye out for you.

If i find the herbs on this paper, 111 send them to you immediately.

As 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.

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

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

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

Although 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.

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

Name your price. Ill transfer the money to you now.

Huang Taian waved his hands. Master, how can I take your money? Youre treating me like an outsider!

If you need it, just take it!

Alright, Ill accept it then.

Yang Luo nodded.

Old Cao, dont you have a hundred-year-old Lingzhi? Quickly take it out and give it to Master!

Huang Taian said to Cao Jisheng.

Cao Jisheng rolled his eyes and said, 1 dont need you to tell me that. Ive already given it to Master!

Yang Luo smiled and said, Thats right. A few days ago, Elder Cao gave me that hundred-year-old Lingzhi.

Huang Taian shook his head and said, You actually beat me to it.

Cao Jisheng chuckled and said, Thats why Im the senior brother now, and youre the junior brother.

Old Huang, why arent you calling me Senior Brother?

Huang Taian glared at him, My medical skills are better than yours. Theres no way you can be my senior brother!

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

Tell me, what do you want me to point out?

Upon hearing this, Huang Taian and Cao Jisheng turned their heads at the same time and looked at Yang Luo with excitement.

The reason why they were willing to acknowledge Yang Luo as their master was to obtain Yang Luos guidance.

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

Huang Taian said, Master, 1 learned an acupuncture technique called the Nine Needles of Revolving Yang.

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

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

Of course I do.

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

Really?!

Huang Taian was extremely excited. He quickly stood up and bowed, Master, please guide me!

Alright, Ill teach you now!

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

Huang Taian and Cao Jisheng followed behind.

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

Take a good look and learn.

Yes, Master!

Huang Taian nodded repeatedly and quickly brought over a box of silver needles.

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

Swis.h.!.+

In an instant!

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

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

Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+

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

By the time the sixth needle landed, Huang Taian was already so excited that his entire body was trembling!

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

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

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

Cao Jisheng was also full of admiration for Yang Luo.

Although he was best at pharmacology, he was also proficient in acupuncture. It was just that he could not compare to Huang Taian.

Yang Luo said loudly, Elder Huang, watch carefully. 111 demonstrate the seventh needle now!

Yes!

Huang Taian nodded heavily. He widened his eyes and stared intently at Yang Luos hand.

Very quickly, Yang Luos wrist shook lightly!

Swis.h.!.+

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