Chapter 7 Thirteen Ghost Points Needling

```

Xu Qianqian hurriedly dressed and fled from the clinic.

"Sigh, why the rush?"

"I haven't even told you that I found the Mountain King Ginseng, oh well, I'll tell you tomorrow," Chu Yang watched Xu Qianqian shyly run away, unable to tell her about the Mountain King Ginseng in time, it seemed he could only tell her tomorrow.

Chu Yang returned to the clinic to prepare medicine for his parents.

For Chu Aimin's blindness and Zhang Yuman's madness, Chu Yang already had a treatment plan in mind, and he had also thought out the prescriptions for their treatment.

First he prepared the medicine for Chu Aimin, then he went on to prepare medicine for Zhang Yuman.

"There are a few herbs not available in the clinic, seems I will have to go to the county's medicinal herb shop to buy them," the prescription Chu Yang prepared for Zhang Yuman lacked a few herbs that were not available in the clinic; he had to go to the county to buy them.

"When going to the county to buy medicine for mom, I might as well sell the Mountain King Ginseng as well," Chu Yang thought to himself.

He took the medicine he had prepared for Chu Aimin and went home.

"Dad, I'm back," Chu Yang called out.

Chu Aimin smiled and replied, "Haven't eaten yet? The meal is in the pot, still warm, you better eat now."

Chu Yang smiled back and said, "No rush."

"Dad, let me treat you first."

"Oh? How are you going to treat me?" asked Chu Aimin.

"With herbal medicine and acupuncture, I've already prepared the herbal medicine for you, and after I decoct it, I'll bring it to you," said Chu Yang.

"I'll start with the acupuncture now," he continued.

"Then let's begin," Chu Aimin said.

Chu Yang took out a pack of disposable acupuncture needles from his pocket, which were ox hair needles, very fine and long. They did not hurt when inserted, but they demanded a high level of skill from the practitioner. A common doctor would need at least a year of practice to master the use of ox hair needles.

Chu Yang inserted two needles at acupuncture points near the corners of Chu Aimin's eyes, one on each side.

He then inserted six needles into the back of Chu Aimin's head.

Chu Aimin was surprised and said, "I already feel the qi sensation so quickly, son, your acupuncture technique is really good."

Chu Yang chuckled, the technique he was using was known as Taiyi Magic Needle, one of the three great divine needles. At its highest realm, it had the miraculous effect of bringing the dead back to life.

"By the way, where's mom?" asked Chu Yang.

"I locked your mother in the room today and didn't let her wander around," Chu Aimin said.

"I'll go have a look at mom," Chu Yang said as he went to Zhang Yuman's room.

Perhaps because Chu Yang had administered a few needles to Zhang Yuman yesterday, she had not wandered or acted out today; she was very quiet.

"Mom, I've come to treat you."

"Don't be afraid," Chu Yang walked up to Zhang Yuman, his heart aching slightly.

Zhang Yuman looked at him with a dull gaze and nodded slightly, "Treat... treatment..."

"Yes, don't be afraid, it won't hurt at all," Chu Yang took out disposable acupuncture needles and began to administer them to Zhang Yuman.

The needle technique he used for treating her was a taboo needle technqiue known as 'Thirteen Ghost Points Needling.'

'Thirteen Ghost Points Needling' was created by Celestial Daoist Master Zhang Daoling. It was a divine medical needle technique with remarkable effects on insanity and imbecility.

With a solemn expression, Chu Yang activated the spiritual energy within his body, performing Qi-Controlled Acupuncture, he held the needle in one hand, his gaze sharp as lightning.

The first needle at Ghost Palace, the philtrum acupoint.

```

The second needle targeted the Ghost Messenger, at the Lesser Shang acupuncture point.

The third needle targeted Ghost Rampart, at the Hidden White acupuncture point.

Three needles were inserted into the three acupoints.

"Ah..." Zhang Yuman let out a scream that sounded both human and ghostly, before she passed out.

Chu Yang checked on Zhang Yuman's condition, which had stabilized. Her complexion had become a bit rosier, and her eyes seemed more spirited than before.

"Mother's body is weak. The treatment must be carried out step by step, without undue haste. Today I'll just administer three needles, and after a few days of rest, I'll continue the treatment," Chu Yang thought to himself.

The power of the Thirteen Ghost Points Needling was immense. Given Zhang Yuman's frailty, unleashing all thirteen needles would likely be more than she could bear and could have the opposite effect, so the treatment had to be gradual.

After completing the treatment for his mother, Chu Yang turned to Chu Aimin, removed the needles from his body, and asked, "Dad, how do you feel now?"

Chu Aimin was somewhat excited, his words tinged with joy, "Son, I... I... I think I can see light... Although it's very blurry... but I can see light... Your acupuncture technique is really amazing..."

Chu Yang chuckled, not surprised by this outcome at all. The Taiyi Magic Needle, known as one of the three great magic needles, naturally had its reasons for its reputation.

"Dad, your treatment is going exceptionally well. While treating you with needles, I will also use herbal medicine, and I am certain that your eyes will recover within a month," Chu Yang declared confidently.

Chu Aimin's voice trembled with emotion, "Son... are... are you telling the truth?"

Chu Yang smiled with confidence, "Of course it's true, I assure you."

"Dad, leave your eye condition to me. Don't worry about it, I'm going to prepare the herbal medicine for you," comforted Chu Yang, after a few words, he picked up the herbs he had gathered for Chu Aimin and headed to the kitchen to brew the medicine.

Preparing herbal medicine was also an art, requiring a half-hour soak in cold water followed by a half-hour decoction on high heat and then a twenty-minute simmer on low heat.

Chu Yang stayed in the kitchen, brewing the medicine for Chu Aimin.

After the preparation, he poured the medicinal liquid and brought it to Chu Aimin's room for him to take.

Returning to his own room, Chu Yang took out the piece of Mountain King Ginseng from his backpack.

"This Mountain King Ginseng has at least a thirty-year growth history. It's an Old Ginseng and should fetch a good price."

"The poison in Sisi's body only requires a few root hairs for the cure." Chu Yang carefully removed a few ginseng root hairs from the Mountain King Ginseng, wrapped them in paper, and placed them on the table.

He then put the Mountain King Ginseng back into his backpack, deciding to go to the county town the next day to sell it.

"Ah... so sleepy... I walked in the mountains all day today... I'm exhausted, time for sleep," Chu Yang said as he took off his clothes and laid down to sleep.

He dreamt a dream that involved Xu Qianqian, where they did something indescribable.

Waking up in the morning, Chu Yang looked at his sticky and damp underwear, let out a wry laugh, changed into a new pair, got dressed, and stepped out of his room.

After preparing breakfast for his parents and eating a few bites himself, Chu Yang said goodbye to his father and left home with his backpack carrying the Mountain King Ginseng.

The journey from Yunxi Village to Yunxi County Town took a three-hour trek through the mountains before one could catch the bus to Yunxi County Town.

Strong and able-bodied, Chu Yang moved effortlessly across the mountain paths, as if flying.

The route that usually took three hours, Chu Yang completed in just an hour and a half. Reaching the bus stop for the county bus, he waited for its arrival.

After about fifteen minutes, a green county bus slowly approached.

The county bus stopped at the roadside, Chu Yang boarded, and found a seat to settle into.

Two hours later, the bus slowly made its way into the county town, stopping at the station.

Chu Yang exited the bus station, looked around, and clutching his backpack, he felt unsure of where in the county town to sell the Mountain King Ginseng, thinking to himself, "The local pharmacies and herbal shops should buy herbs, right?"

"Better try my luck at the pharmacies and herbal shops first."
