"It hurts, right? That's good. The more it hurts, the better the effect."
When the old man heard my screams, he showed no sympathy whatsoever; instead, he smiled.
My face contorted in pain, and I couldn't help but curse silently in my mind.
This old man clearly knew I was in excruciating pain, yet he was still laughing like a bastard!
Even though I know it's for my own good, I still can't help but want to curse.
Li Huai and Luo Tianhe, who were standing to the side, looked at each other in dismay. It was the first time they had ever heard me scream so shrilly.
They all took a step back without prior arrangement and chose to leave the inner room and go to the door.
Although they retreated to the doorway, I could still faintly hear their conversation.
"Wow, that scream is so horrible, it sounds like a pig being slaughtered."
Li Huai sighed and said.
Meanwhile, the sound of a lighter came from Luo Tianhe's side, as if someone was lighting a cigarette. After letting out a long breath, he also said:
"This is the first time I've heard Chen Yan scream so miserably. I think he's quite resilient. To be able to scream so miserably, you can imagine the pain he's going through."
"Luckily, it wasn't me who was scratched by that fox demon, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to stand it. I would rather turn into a puddle of pus."
Li Huai said, "You're such a spineless person."
Suddenly the pain in my neck became more intense, and I felt like my eyes were rolling back in my head.
Just like Li Huai said, I wish I could leave right now; I'd rather turn into a puddle of pus.
Meanwhile, Dr. Sun held a long needle in his hand, sometimes gently twisting the end of the needle, sometimes vibrating it rapidly, and sometimes slowly inserting and withdrawing it.
My forehead was covered in cold sweat. No wonder this thing can be used as a means of interrogating criminals. Who could endure this kind of pain?
Moreover, under the stimulation of intense pain and bone-chilling cold, I couldn't even faint; I could only endure it alive.
After about half a cup of tea's time, Doctor Sun finally took out the longest evil-dispelling needle.
I glanced at it sideways and saw that a thin layer of black frost had formed on the tip of the needle.
Surprisingly, it seemed that not a drop of blood had been spilled on it.
Dr. Sun carefully wiped the black frost clean, then replaced it with a slightly shorter needle and inserted it into the Tanzhong acupoint in the center of my chest.
Suddenly I lost all interest in thinking and couldn't help but roll my eyes again.
This went on repeatedly. In total, Dr. Sun inserted seven needles, targeting several key acupoints such as the throat chakra and the lung meridian. I also went through seven rounds of hell.
When the last needle was removed, I was almost exhausted and my whole body was soaked in cold sweat.
However, I felt an unprecedented sense of ease in my throat and chest. Although I was still hoarse and sore, the cold, bone-chilling feeling had mostly disappeared.
Doctor Sun also breathed a sigh of relief, sweat beading on his forehead, clearly indicating that the treatment had taken a toll on him.
"Alright, I've eliminated that fox's last resort, but your throat chakra and lung meridian are quite damaged. Don't act recklessly like that in the future."
Seeing that the treatment was complete, Li Huai and Luo Tianhe walked in. When they saw that I was soaked to the bone, they couldn't help but exchange a glance, both seeing the seriousness in each other's eyes.
"How are you feeling, Brother Yan? Are you feeling much better?"
Li Huai leaned closer to me and asked.
I nodded weakly and said in a hoarse voice:
"Alright, there shouldn't be any major problems."
"That's good, Brother Yan. We were all so worried."
Li Huai patted his chest, seemingly taking a breath.
I glared at him, annoyed.
This kid is concerned, but he kept talking the whole time.
If he had said less, I might have felt a little better.
Luo Tianhe stepped forward and looked at Doctor Sun, asking:
"Miracle doctor, how much is your consultation fee?"
The old man rolled his eyes.
"Do I look like someone who's short of money? I consider Chen Yan a friend. It's just a small favor between friends. Why would I charge a fee?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Tianhe smiled gratefully.
It wasn't that he was short of money, but rather that the old man's manner of speaking was very pleasant.
"Giving money is indeed a bit vulgar. Li Huai, why don't you kowtow to the miracle doctor a few times? Didn't you recognize him as your father? That would be perfectly reasonable."
I lay in bed and said in a weak voice.
Dr. Sun glared at me immediately.
"You brat, I cured you, and you want me to acknowledge this son as your son? You repay kindness with enmity, don't you think?"
Li Huai scratched his head somewhat awkwardly; he knew his own destiny well.
"Haha, just kidding. But I heard that you, Doctor Sun, have no children. It's a pity that your amazing medical skills have been lost."
According to the information I found online, Dr. Sun seems to be all alone, unmarried, and naturally has no children.
Hearing me say that, Dr. Sun couldn't help but sigh.
"Sigh, there's nothing I can do. I'm also looking for a suitable candidate, but this medical skill isn't something that just anyone can learn; you have to have talent."
"Moreover, his character must be acceptable. I can't possibly pass on all my medical skills to an ungrateful person."
Hearing Dr. Sun say that, I suddenly felt a surge of anger.
"Hey, Dr. Sun, what do you think of Li Huai? Although this kid's fate isn't very good, he can be considered talented."
People with an extremely ominous destiny like Li Huai should be considered exceptionally talented, whether they study Taoist magic or engage in esoteric medical techniques.
"Ah, me?"
Upon hearing us mention him, Li Huai couldn't help but point to himself and open his mouth wide.
Seeing Li Huai's silly appearance, Dr. Sun was almost amused by my antics.
"Are you kidding me?"
“I’m not joking, Dr. Sun, I’m serious.”
I looked at him with a serious expression.
“Li Huai’s character is naturally something I have personally assessed, so he’s definitely trustworthy! Besides, he’s acknowledged you as his father, so you could say he’s a descendant of the same bloodline.”
"Dr. Sun, you wouldn't want your medical skills to be lost, would you?"
Immediately, Doctor Sun glanced at Li Huai a few more times, looking as if he had swallowed a dead fly.
"Li Huai, what are you standing there for? Kneel down and become my disciple!"
I offered some pointers from the side.
That kid Li Huai looks like a complete idiot, it makes me so angry.
Back then at the bar, nobody was more active than him.
I told him that Li Huai immediately knelt down and bowed deeply in reverence.
"Master, please accept my bow."
Seeing that Li Huai was in such a state, the old man didn't know what else to say.
Moreover, he wholeheartedly agreed with what I said. It would be such a pity if their lineage of medical skills were lost, and he would be letting down his ancestors.
"Since that's the case, I'll accept you as my apprentice. But I have a strange temper, so just don't complain that I'm making a fuss."
"You guys can go back now. Starting tomorrow, you'll be coming here to study with me. Let me know in advance if you need anything."
As he spoke, the old man gave Li Huai his phone number.
I could tell the old man was really tired. He probably goes to bed very early, but this time he went to bed a few hours later than usual.
