Chapter 23: Magic, Reappearance of Magic

fter ten or so minutes, he stood up satisfied and let go of Ji Ruoxue. 。Locked the door, the two of them walked down the stairs hand-in-hand intimately. 。After a few minutes' walk, you will see the ol...It wasn't until Liu Chengyuan made his third plea that the genius slowly turned to face him.

"Didn't you just call me a liar" Xiang Tian said coldly, "How come you changed your mind so quickly"

The cold words were like knives, and Liu Chengyuan felt a searing pain on his face. He turned to look at Hao Zhanbing, hoping for help, but Hao Zhanbing ignored him, tapping away on his phone.

Of course, he knew Hao Zhanbing did it on purpose. No wonder, after all, he just didn't give the other party any face just now. It's strange that they wouldn't retaliate.

The ward was deathly silent. Although a line of doctors and nurses stood behind Liu Chengyuan, his heart was filled with endless desolation.

"Well, I've completely lost face today!" Thinking this way, he seemed to age ten years in an instant, his expression becoming incredibly downcast.

He looked up at the sky and slowly said, "I was wrong just now. I apologize for any offense I caused. Please forgive me."

After finishing his words, he bent down deeply, bowing towards the heavens and Zhang Xin. He stayed in that position for a long time, refusing to rise.

"Dean!"

"Director!"

The group of doctors behind Liu Chengyuan were stunned. They never expected the usually domineering Director Liu to lower himself and apologize to an unknown young man. In astonishment, they all started shouting, after all, although Liu Chengyuan was domineering, he had always been kind to them. Tonghe Hospital has achieved its current status thanks in part to Liu Chengyuan's contributions, and he represented the face of Tonghe Hospital.

So, while a group of people were frantically dissuading Ryu Seong-won, they also glared daggers at Hyung Tae with murderous intent.

Tian Ye was also taken aback. He didn't expect Liu Chengyuan to be so straightforward. He apologized without any hesitation at all.

Looking at Liuchengyuan, who, despite the dissuasion of several doctors, stubbornly refused to straighten his back, he hesitated towards the sky for a moment.

He had originally planned to teach this stubborn old man a lesson, but now that the other party was taking the initiative and putting their face forward, he felt a bit hesitant.

Just now, I was whispering with Zhang Xin. Xiao La Jiao told him many stories about Liu Chengyuan. According to these stories, this stubborn old man, although he has a bad temper by nature, is still a good person, at least he can be described as selfless and impartial.

Looking at Old Willow's stooped figure, Xiang Tian added four more words in his heart: dare to do and dare to be responsible.

Just as he was hesitating, Zhang Xin who stood behind him felt a little uncomfortable.

Although Liu Chengyuan's words just now made her angry, seeing that he was so old and still bending over to apologize to her and Xiangtian, she suddenly felt a pang of sympathy. She couldn't help but quietly tug at Xiangtian's clothes.

A smile lit up Tian Xin's face. Xiao Jiaojiao is just like that, sharp words but a kind heart, a bodhisattva with a cold exterior and a warm heart. He reached out and gently grasped Zhang Xin's hand, giving her hand a couple of light pats to signal her to calm down.

After some thought, he made up his mind and said, "If you want me to help save people, I can. But I have one condition."

A hint of joy appeared on Liu Chengyuan's face. He hadn't expected Xiang Tian to agree so readily, and he quickly straightened up and said, "Please speak."

“I hope that whatever you see later, you don't leak it out. I'm not a person who likes to cause trouble, and I certainly don't like people causing me trouble. Do you understand what I mean”

To put it simply, Tian doesn't want word to get out that he helped someone.

Since learning the truth about his parents' deaths, he had always been wary of heading home. With this recent case of a sex offender making such a big splash, it was bound to attract attention from many sides. He couldn't guarantee that there weren't any eyes from Xiangjia within all of it.

Besides, the methods he was going to demonstrate later were indeed shocking and extraordinary. He didn't want to be seen as a guinea pig by some experts for research.

Liu Chengyuan was stunned. He had originally thought that this arrogant fellow would take the opportunity to extort money or goods, or humiliate him again. Unexpectedly, Xiangtian's conditions were so simple.

He was overjoyed at once. He hoped that today's events wouldn't spread, and he had always acted this way. Thus, he nodded quickly and said, "I promise you, everything that happened today, neither I nor my colleagues will say a word."

Let me just say, I can only guarantee that my people won't spread it. You're responsible for what happens on your end.

Xiang Tian nodded to Zhang Xin. He wasn't worried about him at all. As for Hao Zhanbing, Xiang Tian wasn't worried either, because Hao Zhanbing was an expert in internal martial arts and could be considered half a person from the Jianghu (martial arts world). Of course, he knew some of the rules of the Jianghu.

Having said all that needed to be said, Tian took out his acupuncture needles and walked over to the bedside.

At this moment, Huang An's body was noticeably more robust than before, as if it had gone through fermentation. His whole body was swollen.

This guy is now experiencing a clash of yin and yang energies within his body, which are surging to the surface. He can't be treated with acupuncture anymore, and if we delay any longer, he will explode and die at any moment.

Under the gaze of all, he took out a needle as fine as a cow's hair from the heavens.

Compared to last night, Xiang Tian's qi was now free-flowing and unrestrained. Not only could he pour it into his arms, but it could also permeate his entire body and directly condense on the acupuncture needles. Therefore, with just a flick of his wrist, the slender acupuncture needle effortlessly pierced through Huang An's skin and sank deep inside.

"Ah!"

"In deep!"

"How is he so easy"

Gasps filled the room. Not just from the doctors and nurses who didn't understand internal energy, even Hao Zhanbing, usually so arrogant, was taken aback.

Acupuncture needles are finer, longer, and harder to manipulate than syringes. Just now, Hao Zhanbing struggled mightily, unable even to insert a syringe, while Xiang Tian effortlessly pierced the acupuncture needle with ease. The difference in skill was immediately apparent.

"This guy..."

Hao Zhanbing felt a bit bitter in his heart. He hadn't expected that after decades of hard training, he was still inferior to a young man in his twenties. It was ironic that he had just boasted to Xiang Tian about meeting friends through martial arts.

However, this gave him a deep impression of his image as someone who was deeply hidden and yet humble and polite.

Ignoring the gasps from behind, Tian aimed his needle precisely at Huang An's Xian Zhong acupoint. With a thought, Huang An's restless yin and yang energies surged like a flood, flowing madly towards him along the acupuncture needle.

For Huang An, who cultivated demonic arts, yang energy was like poison. For Xiang Tian, who had cultivated the authentic Yin-Yang Scripture, both yin and yang energy were great supplements to him.

So, when a massive amount of yin and yang energy flowed into Huang An's body, his pores throughout his entire body dilated, just like a parched paddy field suddenly being flooded with a stream of clear water. He was so comfortable that he almost wanted to moan.

In the eyes of others, after just one prick from the skyward needle, Huang An's swollen body immediately deflated at a visible speed, like a punctured balloon, with all the air rushing out. Not only that, the distinct black and white colors on his body quickly vanished, soon returning to their normal skin tone.

Wow!

They wouldn't know, would they Huang An truly did leak air, and all that leaked air was consumed and absorbed by the heavens.

One needn't think twice to know that after today's ordeal, his inner True Dragon Qi must have increased significantly. This is quite a pleasant surprise.

In less than a minute, after Huang An's body had recovered to its normal state, he immediately stopped breathing and switched to the Xuanhuang Jishi needle technique.

In the blink of an eye, he shot out five more needles. In the end, three shiny acupuncture needles were stuck in Huang An's chest, and three were stuck on the top of his head at the Dazhui point. All the needles moved without wind, and their tips turned red.

This strange sight once again caused an uproar, even Zhang Xin, who had seen the heavenly needle for the first time, was amazed. He never expected that this little hooligan would have such magical skills.

"This... is the Xuanyuang Jishe Needle" At this moment, the old man with white hair looked at the acupuncture needle in astonishment, his face full of disbelief as he cried out.

He glanced back at the old man and was surprised to find that he actually recognized the Xuanhuan Ji Shi Needle. It seemed he did have some skill after all.

“Good, it’s indeed the Xuanhuang Life-Saving Needle.” He said in a loud voice.

"Wonderful, wonderful!" The old man trembled with excitement, "I never thought in my lifetime I would have the fortune to witness the Xuanhuang Healing Needle Technique with my own eyes. It's a blessing beyond compare!"

Liu Chengyuan was also shocked. He had once heard the old dean mention the Xuanhuang Lifesaving Acupuncture technique. It was said that this acupuncture technique was created by a physician from the Song Dynasty. The physician only needed a silver needle to treat illnesses and save lives, never using any medicine or herbs. He saved countless lives and was regarded as a divine doctor of his time, but this miraculous acupuncture technique was eventually lost.

Unbelievable, this type of acupuncture is appearing in the hands of a young person again!

Liu Chengyuan truly regretted his words now, regretting that he had spoken to Xiang Tian like that earlier. He had offended this young man who was both incredibly talented and possessed extraordinary skills. If not, there might have been a chance for him to bring this young man into Tonghe Hospital, allowing Tonghe Hospital to acquire another unique super-technology.

Actually, all one needs to do is draw out the yin and yang energy from Huang An's body. Huang An would recover in no time. The reason for using Xuanhuang Jiashi Needle Technique is for other purposes.

The wonder of the Yin-Yang Manual made him realize it was an incredibly magical and powerful martial art, a true treasure. But as the old saying goes, "Possessing a jewel brings about its own troubles." To conceal the secrets of the Yin-Yang Manual and avoid attracting unwanted attention, he had to find a way to silence Huang An.

Luckily, in the XuanHuang JiShi ZhenPu (Secret Manual of Acupuncture for Saving People), there is a technique called the SheHun Needle (Soul-Capturing Needle). It was originally used to treat brain diseases. However, through generations of medical research, doctors discovered this technique has another function.

If one can precisely control the internal energy at the moment of insertion, the Soul-Capturing Needle can make a patient like a puppet, obeying the commands of the needle wielder. After that, neither the patient nor anyone else will be able to detect it.

Although Tian lacked internal energy, his True Dragon Qi far surpassed it. Therefore, he devised this method, hoping to control Huang An and prevent him from revealing the secrets of the Yin-Yang Art.

However, he wasn't very confident either. Soul-Stealing Needles required extremely high proficiency from the practitioner. They had to precisely control the amount of internal energy used, otherwise, if it failed, the recipient could at best fall into a coma and become a vegetable, or at worst, die instantly.

But with no other way to go, in order to ensure that the news of Yin Yang Jue wouldn't be leaked out, he could only take a gamble. Besides, Huang An was already guilty of death, so he dared to take this bold risk.

Then, facing the heavens with a pretended frown, he declared that the upcoming acupuncture process involved an important family secret and that everyone had to leave the ward.

By now, everyone had no doubts about his words. Including Zhang Xin and Hao Zhanbing, everyone left the ward.

As the last person left the ward, Tian closed the door and gently twisted a burning moxa stick on Huang An's head. Huang An immediately opened his eyes, but they were vacant, and his body was still as if he were a walking corpse.

"Success!" Xiang Tianxin felt a surge of joy. Seeing Huang An's current state, he knew he had succeeded.

"Huang An!" Xiang Tian whispered, "The kung fu you practice is called Han Ming Zhang. It needs to absorb the essence of seventy-seven forty-nine women to be perfected. Now you've reached the second level."

In less than three seconds, Huang An said a little stiffly, "The martial arts I practice is called Han Ming Palm. It requires absorbing the essence blood of seventy-seven forty-nine women to be accomplished. Now I've reached the second level."

Thereafter, Huang An fainted again after all the acupuncture needles were removed from his body. After less than three minutes, he opened his eyes once more, this time with a sparkle in them.

When he realized the environment was amiss, he immediately struggled with all his might. But this hospital bed was specially designed; his limbs were restrained, and no matter how hard he struggled, it was useless.

"Huang An," Xiang Tian called out, his voice neither light nor heavy.

"Kid, I'll fight you to the death!" Huang An turned his head and saw Xiang Tian struggling even harder.

"I ask you, what kind of martial arts do you practice" Xiang Tian asked.

Huang An snarled, "What business is it of yours what kind of martial arts I practice Just let me go, you damn bastard!"

"Don't think I don't know, it's just the Cold Void Palm, isn't it" Xiang Tian continued.

Huang An's face showed surprise, and he gasped, "How did you know"

Xiang Tian suddenly smiled, it seemed Huang An had completely believed that the martial arts he practiced was indeed the Cold Mist Palm.

From now on, no one else will know the secret of Yin Yang Jue except him.t national security officer. 。The car sped along, asking the sky a few questions, but the man remained silent, which made him quite bored. 。After ten or so minutes, the car stopped in front of a smal...
