While everyone around them was criticizing Gu Wenxuan for treating them like fools.

At the corner not far away, an old man suddenly stood up.

The old man had a full head of white hair and was full of energy. Although he looked to be in his seventies or eighties, he stood up straight.

A powerful aura emanated from his body from time to time, causing his long robe to flutter even without wind, giving him an imposing and awe-inspiring appearance.

Two young people were standing next to the old man.

"Master, what's wrong?"

"Is there anything special about this manuscript?"

The young man on the left frowned slightly.

But the old man's eyes were trembling violently, and his body was shaking.

But soon he sat down again.

"nothing!"

"My disciple, I think this manuscript is very valuable for research! Why don't we buy it and study it carefully?"

Upon hearing this, those around him cast curious glances.

"Has this old man gone mad?"

"We're actually going to spend money to buy this piece of junk!"

"This thing is worth a hundred million? I don't think it's even worth a dollar. After all, you can't even sell it for a dollar as scrap!"

A figure let out a laugh.

Chen Feng, who was not far away, smirked: "This manuscript looks like it was just scribbled on the spot!"

"Who uses needles like that?"

"Using needles requires a calm mind and precise technique. This needle is wide and forceful, and the needling technique is aggressive. If one can use internal energy to achieve precision, the difficulty is comparable to ascending to heaven!"

"If someone can master this acupuncture technique, then that person is either an absolute expert or a god!"

Heh! Chen Feng couldn't help but sneer.

I am, after all, a renowned doctor in Jinling City.

Although there are many acupuncture techniques in the Great Xia Kingdom, he has seen 99% of them and even knows a little about them.

But the needlework techniques in the manuscript are described so skillfully that if such exquisite needlework techniques existed, how could he not know them?

"Master, is this thing really worth studying?"

"Buying this thing for 100 million is a complete waste of money!" The young man also looked puzzled.

But the old man slapped the young man on the back of the head.

"You don't know anything!"

"This is the lost Guigu Yin-Yang Thirteen Needles, but for some reason, only twelve needling techniques are recorded!"

"The last page seems to have been torn out!"

"Even so, this thing is priceless!"

"Let alone mastering all thirteen needles, even just understanding the first three would be enough to surpass all the medical giants of the Great Xia Kingdom!"

"Damn, I've lived for over eighty years, and I never thought I'd see this kind of acupuncture technique again in my lifetime!"

"Disciple, at all costs, you must obtain this manuscript!"

"If this manuscript gets out, it will be enough to cause an earthquake!" the old man whispered to the young man.

Those around him frowned upon seeing his expression.

Could this thing really be a treasure?

Are you crazy?!

The manuscript was yellowed, stained with oil, and tattered, as if it had just been picked up from a garbage dump.

If it were truly a treasure, how could it be damaged like this!

Not far away, Lin Jinglong had a slight smile on his lips. He hadn't expected to see this thing.

"I wrote this manuscript, and I also lost it!"

"I never expected to end up here!"

Back when Lin Jinglong was cultivating on the mountain, the old man forced him to practice this acupuncture technique every day.

Having no other choice, Lin Jinglong copied a copy and carried it with him every day.

When he went to the mountains to collect herbs or when he had nothing to do, he would take out this handwritten manuscript to study and research.

Once, when he had a stomachache and went to the toilet, he ran out of toilet paper and tore off the last page to wipe his bottom, leaving only the first twelve pages.

Later, in order to subsidize the daily expenses of the Taoist temple, Lin Jinglong went down the mountain to treat people and hone his medical skills.

As a result, I accidentally left the manuscript at an old man's house.

I never expected to see this manuscript again after so many years.

It must have been kept by the old man who came to see him for treatment back then.

Of course, if it weren't for his own superb medical skills that cured the other person, this manuscript would most likely have been thrown away like trash.

"Mr. Lin, what did you say?"

"You threw this away?" Wei Qingcheng was immediately surprised when she heard this.

"Yes!" Lin Jinglong nodded.

"The acupuncture techniques recorded here are very hasty and incomplete. However, if someone can learn even a little bit of them, they can graduate as a master!"

Upon hearing this, both Wei Qingcheng and Qian Shuyun were shocked.

Qian Shuyun, in particular, had witnessed Lin Jinglong's medical skills firsthand.

In the entire Jiangnan province, no master's medical skills can compare to his.

If this manuscript was indeed copied by Lin Jinglong, then it is simply priceless.

However, Chen Guotao and Pang Baifu, who were not far away, gave a cold smile.

"Kid, you're a fucking liar!"

Why don't you just say you're the Great Xia Kingdom's Immortal Physician?

Chen Guotao's eyes were full of mockery.

When Lin Jinglong said such things, he was undoubtedly implying that his medical skills were superb, comparable to those of a miracle doctor.

No matter how talented a person is, it is impossible to reach the top level in both medicine and martial arts at the same time.

The Great Xia Kingdom has not produced such a genius in a hundred years.

That kid's a real braggart!

"The Immortal Physician?"

"I am indeed the Immortal Physician of the Great Xia Kingdom!"

"However, this name was given to me by someone else!"

"I don't usually use it!" Lin Jinglong said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Chen Guotao and Pang Baifu were both taken aback.
