Most of Gu Youran's face was covered, and her features could not be seen clearly.

One could only vaguely tell that she was not very old, probably in her twenties.

Tong Jin felt a little uneasy. Could this young woman really save Grandpa's life?

But then I thought, my grandfather's condition is very critical and there is currently no one who can cure him.

Just let her try.

Gu Youran sat in the back seat, closed his eyes and thought.

The Tong family is one of the four major families in the capital. Most of the family members serve in the army, hold heavy troops and have tremendous power.

Mr. Tong made many military achievements in his early years and was very famous. Although he has been retired for many years, his status and influence cannot be underestimated.

She knew that this treatment was of great importance and had to be taken seriously.

Half an hour later, the car drove into a villa.

The villa was quiet and empty, obviously cleared for this treatment.

Tong Jin took Gu Youran to the restaurant first, where the table was already filled with various delicacies.

"Doctor Gu, let's eat first."

Tong Jin pulled out a chair and asked Gu Youran to sit down.

The two sat face to face, and the atmosphere was somewhat solemn.

On the dining table, there were only the slight clinking sounds of chopsticks and spoons, and the occasional chewing sounds.

Time was urgent and neither of them had the mood to chat.

After dinner, Gu Youran, led by Tong Jin, walked into Grandpa Tong’s room.

The furnishings in the room were simple yet elegant, and a strong smell of medicine filled the air.

The curtains were half drawn, and the light was a little dim.

A middle-aged male doctor in a white coat was sitting in front of the bed, staring at the beating numbers on the heart monitor.

On the big bed lay an old man with completely white hair.

He was pale, with a ventilator on his face, his eyes closed, and his chest heaving slightly. He looked very ill.

He is already over ninety years old. It is not easy for him to live to this age.

The entire room was exceptionally quiet, with only the occasional beeping sound from instruments.

Tong Jin walked quickly to the bedside and asked softly, "Doctor Yao, how is my grandfather now?"

Doctor Yao sighed softly, "Another rescue, I wonder how long it will last this time?"

Tong Jin's heart tightened. He turned to Gu Youran behind him and said, "Doctor Gu, please!"

Gu Youran looked at Tong Jin's bloodshot eyes and said calmly, "Let me check first."

"Is this the doctor Gu that Mr. Han recommended?"

Dr. Yao stood up and looked at Gu Youran with some confusion.

Young, too young, is this reliable?

Gu Youran ignored him and walked directly to the bed, saying, "Don't disturb me while I'm checking."

She sat down, put down the medicine box, stretched out her right hand, and gently placed it on Mr. Tong's wrist.

Holding her breath and concentrating, she twisted out a faint breath from the fingertips of her right hand. Like an invisible silk thread, it entered into Old Man Tong's meridians and slowly traveled around.

Old Master Tong was too weak, so she could only use the smallest breath and the slowest speed to explore bit by bit.

As time passed, beads of sweat gradually appeared on Gu Youran's forehead.

But in the eyes of Dr. Yao and Tong Jin, she was just taking Mr. Tong's pulse.

This pulse-taking time is much longer than that of ordinary Chinese medicine doctors.

The two men's expressions became increasingly gloomy, and their brows furrowed tighter and tighter.

They were full of doubts and anxieties, but they did not dare to disturb Gu Youran.

Just when the two were almost exhausted of patience from waiting.

Gu Youran retracted his right hand, turned around and said to the two of them, "The old man suffered a stroke that left him paralyzed on his left side. He's unable to speak, and his eyesight has also deteriorated. Currently, he can only be awake for about an hour a day."

Doctor Yao and Tong Jin were stunned. The conclusion she came up with after taking the patient's pulse was exactly the same as the hospital's diagnosis.

It’s really not easy!

Gu Youran continued, "The old man has some congestion in his body, so I'm going to give him acupuncture first. No one else is allowed to be present while I'm doing it, so please wait at the door."

Doctor Yao and Tong Jin looked at each other, nodded in tacit understanding, turned around and walked out together, closing the door behind them.

"Doctor Yao, this Doctor Gu...can he do it?" Tong Jin asked in a low voice.

"Do you have any other solution?" Dr. Yao asked back, feeling helpless as well.

Tong Jin was speechless.

For three years, Dr. Yao has been Mr. Tong's family doctor.

He tried many methods and consulted many famous doctors at home and abroad, but none of them had much effect on Mr. Tong's condition.

Mr. Tong’s health condition is getting worse day by day.

His once robust body has now become extremely thin, his spirit is becoming increasingly weak, and he has even reached the stage of preparing for his funeral.

Dr. Gu is their last hope.

Now, all they can do is wait.

In the room.

Gu Youran removed the respirator from Mr. Tong’s face, lifted the quilt, unbuttoned his shirt, revealing his skinny upper body.

When she took Mr. Tong's pulse just now, she used her breath to travel through all the meridians in his body and had already found the source of the disease.

This is the first step of Nine Star Acupuncture, acupuncture point exploration using Qi.

Mr. Tong is seriously aged, and the functions of his organs are not as good as before. In addition, his meridians are widely blocked, which leads to hemiplegia in bed.

Gu Youran first had to give him acupuncture to clear the blocked meridians and allow his body to function normally.

She raised her left hand, and on her wrist was the Nine Star Ring.

She pressed the mechanism of the Nine Star Ring, and the nine silver needles inside flew out. She flicked her fingers, and the nine silver needles landed accurately on the nine important acupoints on Old Man Tong's upper body one by one.

Every time a needle falls, it is accompanied by a slight tremor, as if an invisible force is flowing in the body.

This is the second step of the Nine Star Acupuncture Method, locating the nine stars.

Then, she condensed a breath from her fingertips again and rushed towards the nine silver needles.

The nine silver needles kept vibrating due to the impact of the gas.

Old Master Tong's body also sensed something and moved.

This is the third step of the Nine Star Acupuncture Method, guiding the needle with qi.

After the impact lasted for a while, a thin mist seemed to fill the room.

Nine silver needles flickered on Old Man Tong's body, like the brightest stars in the night sky.

If you look closely, you will find that different patterns are engraved on the top of the silver needle.

These patterns correspond to the nine stars in the sky: Tan Lang, Ju Men, Lu Cun, Wen Qu, Lian Zhen, Wu Qu, Po Jun, Zuo Fu and You Bi.

Gu Youran closed his eyes and concentrated, using his mind to guide the power of the stars to slowly flow through Old Man Tong's meridians.

This is the fourth step of the Nine Star Acupuncture Method, the flow of Qi between the needles.

Not long after, the nine silver needles vibrated slower and slower until they were completely still.

Gu Youran exerted force again, condensed the gas and shot it into the Nine Star Ring, and the star stone inside emitted a faint blue light.

The blue light resonated with the nine silver needles, forming a subtle star array on Old Man Tong's body, as if to bring the power of the nine stars in the sky into the mortal world.

This is the fifth step of the Nine Star Acupuncture Method, the Nine Star Linkage.

As the power of the stars gathered, Mr. Tong's complexion gradually improved, and his originally pale face began to turn rosy.

His breathing became steady and powerful, as if an invisible force was supporting him.
