Divine fortune teller and traditional Chinese medicine doctor

"A big treasure? What treasure?" Li Mu immediately asked A Xu using his soul sense.

"Look at this person's chest," Ah Xu replied.

Li Mu then lifted the old man's shirt and saw a strange dark brown pattern on his chest, near his heart.

"A tattoo? What's so special about that?" Li Mu asked A Xu with his soul sense, puzzled.

"Master, this isn't a tattoo, it's a rune. This old man has likely been in contact with cultivators. It's a cultivation technique called a rune restriction. This rune restriction contains a very violent baleful aura, while the chaotic energy on the old man's body is a powerful spiritual energy. The two energies, yin and yang, resist each other, and over time, by sheer coincidence, a spiritual source crystal formed outside his heart meridian!"

"Spirit Source Crystal? What's that?"

"Spirit Source Crystal, as the name suggests, is a crystallized form of spiritual energy, the very source of heaven and earth's spiritual energy! This treasure is essentially a reservoir of spiritual energy. With this treasure, the owner won't need to search for places with abundant spiritual energy for a long time to cultivate; they can cultivate anytime, anywhere. Moreover, the spiritual energy stored in this Spirit Source Crystal is more condensed than the scattered spiritual energy outside, and absorbing it will greatly improve cultivation efficiency. In addition, this Spirit Source Crystal has another magical function: it can autonomously absorb and store the spiritual energy of heaven and earth."

A-Xu explained.

"Wow! This is practically a spiritual energy power bank! I can carry it with me everywhere and absorb spiritual energy for cultivation anytime. And this power bank can even automatically absorb and store spiritual energy from heaven and earth?!"

Li Mu seemed very surprised.

"Yes, Master."

"This is truly a treasure! The world is full of wonders! Ah Xu, why can't I see the spirit source crystal you mentioned at all? I can't see it either with my Qi Observation Divine Eye."

After being surprised, Li Mu asked in confusion.

"With Master's current strength, you definitely won't be able to discover this rare Spirit Source Crystal. You'll be able to see it when Master's strength increases to the point where his soul can leave his body," A-Xu explained.

"Soul leaving the body? Like you, being able to perceive things outside the Dimensional Bead? Like having X-ray vision?"

Li Mu was unfamiliar with many cultivation techniques and asked curiously.

"Yes, more or less."

"Tsk tsk, if I could use my soul to leave my body and investigate, why would I need to take a pulse to diagnose illnesses? One glance would be enough. Ah Xu, this Spirit Source Crystal is indeed a great treasure, but how should I take it? And, if I take it, will it cause any harm to Mr. Tang?"

Li Mu asked again.

"Doesn't Master possess a teleportation technique? He can simply use that technique to retrieve it. This Spirit Source Crystal is an aura-based substance, capable of penetrating all physical barriers, including the human body. Removing it won't harm the person; in fact, it will be beneficial. His frail mortal body simply cannot withstand the long-term presence of the Spirit Source Crystal. Of course, if it weren't for the mysterious rune restriction on his chest that resisted the chaotic energy, he wouldn't be alive now."

A-Xu explained.

"That's good."

Li Mu had no more reservations, so he stopped taking the old man's pulse and placed his left hand on the top of the old man's head.

Just like treating Zhuang Yi before, we first had A-Xu absorb all the chaotic spiritual energy that caused the illness in Tang Songgu's body.

Swish!

The chaotic spiritual energy was quickly absorbed by the bracelet, and the old man lying on the hospital bed was suddenly released, like a prisoner who had been imprisoned for a long time.

Ah Xu, who was inside the bracelet, naturally enjoyed another delicious meal. The chaotic spiritual energy was a rare nourishment for her, which helped her recover her strength to some extent!

Soon, the old man's weak breathing and heartbeat became noticeably stronger!

However, this is just the beginning.

The chaotic spiritual energy was completely absorbed, but Tang Songgu's meridians all needed to be unblocked. Only by unblocking the meridians could the blood and qi circulate throughout the body. Once the blood and qi started to circulate, the internal organs could be repaired and nourished.

Therefore, Li Mu was about to administer acupuncture to the elderly man.

Unblocking the meridians throughout the body does not require any specific acupuncture prescription. It is sufficient to use silver needles to stimulate and unblock the major acupoints on the body, such as Baihui (GV20) on the top of the head, Yongquan (KI1) on the soles of the feet, Qihai (CV6) and Dantian (CV6) acupoints, and Dazhui (GV14) acupoints.

These key acupoints are like gates to the body's meridians. Once they are opened, the meridians are unblocked, and the Qi and blood flow through the body's meridian channels like blocked water.

However, when Li Mu began to insert the needles, the expressions on Song Yuelun's and his disciple Liu Xiaochun's faces immediately froze.

Because Li Mu's needle technique was so skilled and smooth, his acupoint selection was quick and accurate, and his force control was extremely precise. This is the legendary state of perfect harmony between man and needle!

Even a master of traditional Chinese medicine like Song Yuelun was amazed by Li Mu's acupuncture skills!

Liu Xiaochun was so shocked that her beautiful eyes widened, and she involuntarily covered her mouth with her hand, as if she had seen a ghost.

She had no doubt that this old man, whom she despised as a charlatan, was absolutely superior to her master, Song Yuelun, in the art of acupuncture!

And it's not just a simple surpassing, it's a complete crushing defeat on a different level!

At that moment, the master and disciple both felt the shame of being thoroughly humiliated.

Regardless of whether this unfamiliar traditional Chinese medicine doctor can cure Old Tang's illness, his amazing acupuncture skills alone are enough to make him stand out in the world!

Liu Xiaochun looked at her master, Song Yuelun, with a shocked and worried expression. Seeing that her master also looked stunned, her heart began to pound.

A bad feeling that she might lose the bet began to creep into her mind.

Li Mu was so focused on inserting the needles that he didn't notice the stunned expressions on the faces of the master and apprentice.

Considering that this was meant to humiliate Song Yuelun and his apprentice Liu Xiaochun, Li Mu intentionally infused a trace of Guiyuan spiritual energy into the old man's body while administering the acupuncture.

With this trace of primordial spiritual energy, the elderly's bodily functions will recover rapidly, and the treatment effect will be more significant.

"Huff...cough cough cough..."

Sure enough, just as Li Mu cleared the main meridians of the old man's body, Tang Songgu, who had been lying on the hospital bed for several years without any movement, suddenly exhaled a large breath and then coughed!

This exhalation and cough clearly contained a sense of strength; it hardly resembled that of a dying person.

"...Ah! Dad! Dad! You...you're awake?!"

Tang Han, who was waiting by the bedside, was startled and then shouted loudly.
