"Dr. Sun, you have such keen insight! I did suffer a minor injury. I'll trouble you to take a look at me later."
"Hehe, you're speaking in such a refined way, are you acting in a TV drama? Let me see your injury first, then carry that person in and put him on that bamboo couch over there."
Dr. Sun pointed to a bamboo couch covered with a clean straw mat next to the bed, and then gestured for me to come over.
"Dr. Sun, his condition is more serious. Why don't you take a look at him first? I only have superficial injuries."
I couldn't help but speak up.
Although I was badly injured before, not only was the skin on my back peeled off, but my soul was also damaged.
But now, the damage to my soul has been repaired, leaving only physical wounds, which I think should be fine.
Doctor Sun immediately bristled and glared, "Who's in charge here, me or you? You're even making plans for me?!"
Somewhat helpless, I could only move closer, then turn around, lift my clothes, and show my back to Dr. Sun.
"Damn, you kid, you call this a minor injury?"
Upon seeing that the skin on my back had been completely peeled off, Dr. Sun couldn't help but swear.
"Who did you offend, kid? You're being tortured like this. The person who did this is really vicious."
After hearing what he said, I suddenly felt a little embarrassed:
"Dr. Sun, I peeled the skin off my back myself. I shouldn't be considered too malicious, right..."
"Good lad, you're awesome! You can peel your own skin off, and it's even your back!"
Dr. Sun didn't doubt my statement; instead, he gave me a thumbs up.
"Tell me, why would you peel your own skin off? You can't be doing this just because you have nothing better to do, can you?"
While examining my wound, Dr. Sun asked me questions. I quickly and briefly explained the whole story to him, and he immediately looked surprised.
"You're really something, kid! You're even willing to skin yourself alive to keep your promise to the ghost."
Dr. Sun first praised me, then pressed his fingers on the acupoints around my wound, which immediately made me wince in pain.
"The yin energy has seeped into its bones, mixed with corpse poison and resentment. We used some medicine? It had some effect, but not enough."
He pressed his fingers firmly on several acupoints around the wound.
By this time, I was covered in sweat.
Immediately afterwards, I felt something cool, seemingly made of metal, pressed against my wound.
He gently scraped my wound a few times, and I immediately broke out in a cold sweat from the pain.
Luo Tianhe and Li Huai, who were standing to the side, both showed expressions of sympathy.
Luo Tianhe quietly leaned close to Li Huai's ear and whispered:
"Is Dr. Sun deliberately trying to mess with Chen Yan because he treats his life so lightly?!"
Li Huai remained expressionless, paused for a moment, and then stammered:
"It shouldn't be that bad, but you never know. You know, my master does have a rather eccentric temper, so I wouldn't be surprised if he did something."
Ignoring Li Huai and Luo Tianhe's whispered conversation, or perhaps not hearing it,
Dr. Sun patted my back and said with some relief:
"It's alright. It didn't damage the spine, but the muscles and blood vessels were severely corroded, and the insidious poison traveled a little bit along the meridians toward the heart."
Is this what you call "okay"?
I felt a chill run down my spine. If the poison were to take hold, even a celestial being couldn't save me. I was practically walking a tightrope in the air; one wrong step and I would die a horrible death.
Seeing my expression, Dr. Sun smiled:
"Now you're scared? Be more careful next time, and don't do anything so reckless!"
After saying that, he walked away for a short while. When he returned, he was carrying a small porcelain bottle and a few other things.
"This is Crimson Sun Powder, specifically designed to counteract Yin-cold corpse poison. However, its medicinal properties are potent, and it will hurt a bit. Bear with it!"
I felt a little scared when I heard the name Chiyang San. He seemed to have given me a similar medicine last time, which contained sodium nitrate.
Seeing my expression, he immediately burst out laughing:
"Does this remind you of anything? That's right, it's similar to last time, this time it also contains red saltpeter!"
After saying that, he first tore off the scab that had already formed on my wound, and then evenly sprinkled the dark red powder from the porcelain bottle onto my wound.
My face was twitching, and I was in so much pain that I couldn't speak. It felt like I was going through the pain of being skinned alive again.
I know Dr. Sun might have had a gentler approach, but he just wanted me to remember this lesson and this pain.
While applying the medicine to me, Dr. Sun took out several slender silver needles that gleamed with a cold light.
These needles are much thicker than those used for acupuncture, and they are engraved with talismans.
“Simply applying medicine won’t completely remove the corpse poison. Next, I’m going to give you acupuncture. The process will be very painful. You can’t move, and you absolutely cannot faint. Otherwise, the medicine will go out of control, the corpse poison will backfire, and you’ll lose your life. Do you understand?”
My face was as white as it could possibly be, whiter than a person who had been dead for three days.
I have experienced Dr. Sun's acupuncture firsthand, and his acupuncture techniques can be described as extremely effective.
However, that excruciating pain is something that a normal person simply cannot endure.
I took a deep breath and buried my face in my arms.
I've always known Dr. Sun's medical style, so I was well-prepared for this trip.
"Understood, Dr. Sun, come on!"
I said sullenly.
Dr. Sun didn't waste any time. He inserted the first needle into the first acupoint on my back!
The moment the needle entered my body, my face contorted; it wasn't just a simple stinging pain!
It was like a red-hot iron wire piercing into my bone marrow and meridians!
"Holy shit! Holy shit!" I couldn't help but scream, my body trembling violently.
I gripped the sheets tightly with both hands, my knuckles turning white from the force.
"Hold on, this is just the beginning," Doctor Sun whispered, his hand as steady as a rock, as he placed the second and third needles in quick succession.
With each needle, a new red-hot iron wire was brought along, crisscrossing and crashing through the meridians on my back.
The effects of the Chiyang Powder he had previously applied to my back were now fully activated!
The yang energy guided by the acupuncture technique transformed into a raging fire, frantically burning away the cold, stagnant energy that clung to my meridians.
At that moment, I truly experienced what it meant to be caught between fire and ice, and I deeply regretted my act of skinning her.
This is fucking painful, it's unbearable for a human being!
I gritted my teeth, my fingertips already digging into the cracks in the bed.
And you can't get dizzy!
My vision went black for a moment, my ears were ringing, and I was sweating profusely, but I managed to hold on with sheer willpower.
Li Huai and Luo Tianhe, who were standing to the side, were dumbfounded.
If they didn't know about my relationship with Dr. Sun, they would have thought we were sworn enemies!
