Chapter Eleven: Soul-Returning Nine Needles

omes down to ability. What good is just talking If there are masters, why not come out and compete Why not win the world championship"Ye Bufan said calmly, "In the eyes of true masters, you people are..."What The Hua Tuo's Golden Formula can't cure illness"

Cao Xinghua's expression changed drastically, "Young brother, you must have made a mistake. There are many ancient texts that record the Hua Tuo Jin Fang, it's clearly stated, this is the Jin Fang, which can be used to treat venomous diseases."

"You're all wrong." Ye Bufan shook his head and said.

The world-renowned Ma Fei San and Hua Tuo Jin Fang both originated from ancient medical schools. As a descendant of the ancient medical school, how could I be unaware of the effects of Hua Tuo Jin Fang

He explained further: “Hua Tuo’s Golden Prescription can be used for malignant diseases, that is true, but its meaning is not to cure malignant diseases, but to help terminally ill patients alleviate their pain.”

In terms of function, it's similar to anesthetic ether, except that anesthetic ether is used for surgical operations, while this is used for pain relief in the later stages of serious illnesses.

To put it simply, it's just a pain relief prescription that can be used for various ailments, including pain management for terminal cancer patients. It works much better than the current painkillers available for cancer patients and has no addiction or side effects.

"This...this can't be possible"

Cao Xinghua's face was full of disbelief, "This is impossible. If it can't cure diseases, why call it Hua Tuo Jin Fang"

Ye Bufan said: "For some serious patients, such as those with late-stage cancer or pancreatitis, the pain is absolutely excruciating."

And this prescription can effectively relieve this kind of pain. Those who have tried that suffering know the preciousness of this medicine, therefore it is called the golden formula."

"This..."

Cao Xinghua was completely dumbfounded. The previous prescription was incomplete, and he couldn't determine its properties and effects. In the end, he misinterpreted the records in the ancient book.

As Ye Bufan said, the efficacy of this medicine is also extremely rare.

But he pinned all his hopes of healing his old friend on Hua Tuo's Golden Formula. Since this prescription could only alleviate pain and not cure the disease at its root, what else could he use to save people

Seeing his dejected expression, Ye Bufan comforted him: “Cao Lao, you don't have to take this too hard. Although Huatuo’s Golden Recipe can't cure diseases, there are other ways we can think of.”

"Any other way" Cao Xinghua suddenly had an idea, "Young brother, can you cure my old friend's illness"

Ye Bufan being able to possess the complete Hua Tuo's Golden Prescriptions shows that his master's lineage is extraordinary. This filled him with a glimmer of hope once more.

Ye Bufan nodded and said, "Okay."

Cao Xinghua was overjoyed and excitedly said, "Little brother, are you sure you can cure it What are the chances of success"

"Eight out of ten!"

"Ye Bufan, that's a very humble statement. The other party merely has a lung disease. Compared to the legacy of ancient medicine, it amounts to nothing."

But Cao Qinghua was overjoyed. You see, he had been working hard for so long, and there was no cure to be found. An 80% chance of success was unimaginable to him.

"That's great, little brother. Would you also do me a favor and go visit an old friend of mine who needs to see a doctor"

Ye Bufan nodded. This old man cared so much about his friend's illness, which showed that he was a kind person. It wasn't a problem for him to lend a hand.

Cao Xinghua drove out in an Audi A6, and the two of them left Bai Caotang, heading for the most famous Jiangnan Ruhuaxiaoyuan in Jiangnan City.

When he first met Ye Bufan, he wasn't completely trusting. The reason he invited him to treat his old friend was out of desperation; there were no other better options left.

Cao Xinghua, while driving, asked: "Little brother, what way are you going to use to cure my old friend's illness"

His words carried both a questioning and a subtly critical tone, as if he wanted to see if Ye Bufan was speaking truthfully.

"As Cao Lao just said, the most suitable method for this condition is the Returning Soul Nine Needles."

"What What did you say"

After hearing the four words "Return Soul Nine Needles," Cao Xinghua was so shocked that his hands trembled, the vehicle veered off course, and almost collided with an oncoming truck.

Luckily, Ye Bufan reacted quickly, pushing the steering wheel with his hand, narrowly avoiding disaster.

"Lao Cao, be careful!"

Ye Bufan shouted, but secretly he found it quite amusing. This old man was already a very old age, how could he still be so flustered

Cao Xinghua slammed on the brakes and stopped by the roadside. He then took Ye Bufan's hand and said, "Little brother, what did you just say Is it really the Nine Needles of Reincarnation"

"Yeah, what's up"

"My God, you can actually perform the Returning Soul Nine Needles You're not fooling old man, are you"

It is no wonder that Cao Xinghua was so excited. The Huíhún Jiǔzhēn (Returning Soul Nine Needles) is considered to be the most remarkable acupuncture technique in the history of Traditional Chinese Medicine. It was once renowned as “Huíhún Chū” (returning the soul) and “Wú Cháng Kū” (making the impermanent weep).

Legend has it that as long as one can use the Soul Returning Nine Needles, even the dead can be brought back to life, leaving the two messengers of death, Black and White, helpless.

Ye Bufan said, "Of course I won't deceive you, old man. There is indeed this acupuncture technique in the inheritance of my sect."

"That's great, really great. With the Nine Needles of Resurrection, Old He's life can finally be saved."

Cao Xinghua immediately felt confident in Ye Bufan and restarted the car, speeding forward.

The He family in Jiangnan are revered by all high society families in the region.

Mr. He Changqing, the patriarch of the He family, once fought alongside the Taizu to establish the country and made countless military exploits for China. He is one of the few surviving veterans today, and enjoys immense influence in Jiangnan City and throughout China.

His three sons were all exceptionally talented. The eldest son, He Tianming, joined the military and already had stars shining on his shoulders. His second son, He Tianda, entered politics and became a high-ranking official in Jiangsu Province.

The third son, He Tianqi, became prosperous in business.

Because of this, the He family has considerable influence throughout Jiangnan City.

He's villa is the best house in the Jiangnan picturesque garden, a single courtyard with three European style small buildings inside.

Cao Xinghua was clearly very familiar with this place, seeing that the guards in front of his door didn't stop him at all.

After entering, a middle-aged man around 40 years old came up to greet them. He was He Changqing's third son, He Tianqi.

"Uncle Cao, you're here." He Tianqi said with a sorrowful face, "I was just about to call you, my father's condition has been getting worse these days. Please take a look at him."

"Don't worry, I brought Xiaoye here today to see Dr. He."

Cao Xinghua introduced Ye Bufan to He Tianqi, saying, "This is Ye Bufan, Dr. Ye."

“Huh” He Tianqi looked completely confused. In the past, Cao Xinghua often brought some renowned traditional Chinese medicine practitioners to see his father, but all of them were elderly men over sixty. When had there been such a young TCM doctor

Cao Xinghua saw through his thoughts and said, "Don't underestimate Xiaoye just because he's young, but his medical skills are far superior to mine. Come on, let's go see Lao He."

Although He Tianqi wasn't entirely convinced by Ye Bufan, he had to give Lao Cao face. He brought the two men to a three-story small building.

Cao Xinghua was very familiar with this place and soon led Ye Bufan into a standalone three-story building. This was the Ye family's private hospital.

Although this is a private hospital, the medical conditions are no worse than those in large hospitals.

As soon as Ye Bufan entered the ward, he saw an elderly man with completely white hair lying on the bed. He looked withered and emaciated, his face pale. At this moment, he was already in a coma.

He Tianqi anxiously said to Cao Shu: "Uncle Cao, please help me think of a way for my father!"

Cao Xinghua then looked at Ye Bufan: "Xiao Ye, quickly help Lao He take a look."

Ye Bufan nodded and strode towards He Changqing's bedside. Just as he was about to reach out and take his pulse, someone called out from behind him, "Stop! Don't touch my grandfather!"e Bufan burst forth with powerful killing intent. His voice was icy cold as he said: "It is your Yan family who bullies people with their power and comes to my door to attempt robbery."It was your Yan...
