Chapter 24 The Healer's Silver Needles
The servants inside the house were shocked to hear the young general say that it was the young lady who cured him.
The servants were already quite surprised that Zhou Ruoneng had become Zhao Jinzhong's "joke".
How could he believe it when he heard the young general say that Zhou Ruo had cured his paralysis?
Before Doctor Yu followed the general on his expedition, he stayed by Zhao Jinzhong's side for a year. No fewer than ten imperial physicians from the Imperial Medical Academy came and went to treat him.
So many capable doctors couldn't get Zhao Jinzhong to stand up, but this four-year-old child has done it?
Could it be a joke by the young general?
Zhao Yucheng walked up to Zhou Ruo and squatted down to eye level with her.
"Ruo'er, thank you, Father!"
"Back then, Zhoujia Village saved our entire army. A while ago, you saved Mother, and now you've helped your brother stand up again."
"Sometimes Father wonders, are you a celestial being sent by Heaven to protect our General's Mansion?"
"You have such medical skills at such a young age. I can't believe that an ordinary child could do this."
Zhou Ruo listened to Zhao Yucheng's praise and gratitude, and smiled happily.
"Father, don't be so formal. If you really want to thank me, then give it to me!"
Zhou Ruo grinned and stretched out one hand in front of Zhao Yucheng.
"Take? Take what?" Zhao Yucheng didn't react.
"Silver needles, you promised me you'd reward me with a set of silver needles."
"Father is so careless. Two or three days have passed and he still hasn't given me the silver needles. You can't lie to a child."
"If I could have used better acupuncture needles to treat my brother today, I wouldn't have had to go through so much trouble!"
Zhou Ruo raised her arm and wiped her forehead, making a gesture of wiping sweat, to show that she had worked very hard to treat him.
Zhao Yucheng slapped his head hard. "Look at your brain, Daddy's just too busy being happy, haha!"
As he spoke, he took out an exquisite needle case from his pocket and said to Zhou Ruo:
"I just got this set of silver needles from Physician Li of the Imperial Hospital this morning."
"Physician Li is the head of the Imperial Medical Academy and the most skilled acupuncturist in the entire acupuncture department."
Looking at the silver needle pouch, Ji Ping asked Zhao Yucheng in confusion:
"I've long heard that Physician Li's ancestral silver needles are the most powerful. Is he really willing to give up this set of silver needles?"
Zhao Yucheng: "How could he possibly agree!"
These past two days, whenever Zhao Yucheng had free time, he would pester Physician Li for silver needles.
At first, Physician Li thought that Zhao Yucheng had come to ask for acupuncture from Doctor Yu.
Having seen Doctor Yu's acupuncture techniques, Physician Li believed that he was not worthy of the "best silver needles" that Zhao Yucheng had mentioned.
It wasn't until Zhao Yucheng took out the imperial sword he had been given as a gift that he tried to exchange it.
Furthermore, because Physician Li remembered the kindness Zhao Yucheng had shown him by saving his son's life at the hunting grounds, he began to relent.
Zhao Yucheng: "Doctor Li said that only a good doctor can match a good needle."
"I told them that a physician with divine medical skills had come to my residence. She could cure Zhong'er, and the silver needles I requested were for her."
"Only then did Physician Li take out the set of silver needles."
He said that the set of silver needles was a gift from an old man he met while traveling among the people.
"The old man said that he has not yet found anyone who can master this set of silver needles."
"Since Physician Li is from the Imperial Medical Academy and has extensive connections, he might be able to find a suitable owner for this set of silver needles."
Zhao Jinzhong, who was standing nearby, also became interested and asked, "Isn't this set of silver needles suitable for Physician Li?"
"Exactly," Zhao Yucheng continued, "Not only is it unsuitable, but Physician Li is completely incapable of using it."
Ji Ping asked curiously, "Why can't it be used?"
Zhao Yucheng then opened the needle case, revealing a set of silver needles that shone with a pure silver luster, which looked quite different from ordinary silver needles.
"Hmm?" Zhou Ruo uttered a sound. "This?"
Those around Zhou Ruo did not notice her reaction.
Zhao Yucheng added, "Doctor Li said that this set of needles is made of pure silver, which is too soft and not suitable for ordinary doctors to use."
"Unless one is a god, perhaps they could control it; in any case, he has yet to meet anyone who can use it."
"Hey—I got really excited when he said that! I thought, isn't Ruoruo practically a demigod?!"
"Physician Li echoed my words, saying that I claimed the physician in our household was like a god, so it would be perfect for me!"
After listening, Ji Ping chuckled softly. "Is this Physician Li just someone you've been pestering so much that he's using him to appease you?"
Zhao Yucheng nodded: "I've thought about that too, but it's okay."
He snapped out of his reverie and said to Zhou Ruo, "Ruo'er, do you like this set of silver needles?"
"If you don't like it, Daddy will find you an even better one!"
Zhou Ruo was stunned when she saw the set of silver needles.
Such silver needles are not meant for mortals; she used these same silver needles in her previous life in the immortal realm.
These pure silver needles require spiritual power to wield; even ordinary doctors would likely struggle to pierce the patient's skin.
Moreover, these silver needles recognize their masters, just like the swords used by sword cultivators in the immortal cultivation world also recognize their masters.
Once the silver needles used by the Immortal Physician have recognized their master, other immortals can no longer use them.
Could it be that there are cultivators in the mortal realm? Zhou Ruoxin wondered.
However, this set of silver needles showed no signs of having been recognized by a master.
Zhou Ruo took a deep breath, took the needle case from Zhao Yucheng, and placed one of her hands on it.
Then, an unbelievable scene unfolded.
The moment Zhou Ruo's palm touched the silver needles, the entire set of silver needles immediately emitted a dazzling silver light.
The light shone on Zhou Ruo's face, and a golden halo appeared between her brows, flashing three times.
Then, the silver light enveloped the golden halo, slowly returning to the needle pouch and disappearing among the silver needles.
The dozens of silver needles trembled out of thin air, just like soldiers standing in neat rows when they meet their general.
Then they were neatly arranged in the needle case.
Zhao Yucheng and the others had never seen such a miraculous phenomenon before, and they were all stunned.
Zhao Jinzhong has spent a lot of time with Zhou Ruo these past few days, and he has quickly become able to accept some unusual things.
But he was clearly shocked by what he saw.
He stammered as he asked Zhou Ruo, "Ruo...Ruo...what's going on? They...they've recognized you as their...master?"
Zhou Ruo had initially tried it with some skepticism, but to her surprise, it turned out to be exactly as she had predicted.
This set of silver needles is indeed the kind used by cultivators.
Since it has accepted itself as its master, that's for the best.
As for why it appeared in this mortal world, Zhou Ruo couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it.
She finally possessed a set of "weapons" specifically for healers in this mortal realm.
Next, it was time for her to use the "Five Elements Spirit Needles" to enhance her spiritual power!
Thinking this, Zhou Ruo was overjoyed. She rolled up the needle case and held it tightly in her hand.
Then she gave Zhao Yucheng a quick kiss on the cheek and said happily, "Thank you, Daddy! I love it!"
