Chapter 48 - Exchanging moves with w.a.n.g Guofeng

　　"I have a suggestion, can we witness it?" Xu Wenzhi smiled. "I've heard of the mystical of acupuncture, but I have never seen it before."

　　w.a.n.g Guofeng was briefly stunned while looking at Qin Meimei before briefly s.h.i.+fting his gaze onto Su Tao and smiled. "As long as the patient doesn't mind!"

　　Qin Meimei slightly smiled. "Do I have to remove my clothes?"

　　"There's no need to!" w.a.n.g Guofeng shook his head.

　　Qin Meimei humoured, "Then, I don't mind being the vase. Feel free to p.r.i.c.k me, but I have to say it beforehand that I am afraid of pain. So don't be alarmed when I scream."

　　Although Qin Meimei had health issues, her mental state seemed pretty good since she could still joke around.

　　w.a.n.g Guofeng smiled while making preparations for acupuncture before everyone. He opted the Temporal Ebb-flow Acupuncture Technique of the Medical Dao Sect.

　　It meant time and the flow of blood through the acupoints. There was a reason behind his choice, sleepwalking usually occurred at night, so this technique could mediate the blood flow of acupoints at night, allowing the blood to flow smoothly.

　　Sixty-six acupoints were required for this technique, thus requiring a large amount of Qi. At the same time, it was also extremely taxing on the patient's physique.

　　Back then, when w.a.n.g Gufeng saw Qin Meimei, he had already decided with the technique. However, he did not start the treatment since the patient's body was too weak. Thus, he had given her several prescriptions to nourish her body. The reason why he felt her pulse earlier was to see if she was in a condition to use acupuncture.

　　w.a.n.g Guofeng used a long needle on the 12 Primary Yuan Acupoints, the energy behind the daily life activities. After that, he used short needles on the Five Basic Acupoints, which were the foundations for acupuncture since many acupoints corresponded to the Daoist School's five elements.

　　Su Tao watched from the side and sighed at w.a.n.g Guofeng's skills. His technique was steady, and due to the enormous exhaustion required on the Temporal Ebb-flow Acupuncture Technique, it's hard for many to use the twelve needles in a short amount of time. However, w.a.n.g Guofeng remained calm and composed even after twenty-four needles and only started to slow down at the thirtieth needle.

　　However, Su Tao's face turned heavy as sweat started to drip from w.a.n.g Guofeng's nose. Just as Su Tao had speculated, w.a.n.g Guofeng had also discovered the problem.

　　Despite the use of prescriptions to nourish her body, Qin Meimei's body still couldn't bear the sudden clearing from acupuncture. If one looked at it closely, they would realise Qin Meimei's body started to turn red and beads of sweat started to drip out.

　　It's normal for patients to secrete from the use of acupuncture. But inappropriate use of acupuncture would cause excessive perspiration, and severe cases would lead to sweat collision.

　　Sweat collision would cause the patient to be weakened. Qin Meimei's body was weak, to begin with, and her life would be threatened if that happened.

　　w.a.n.g Guofeng had encountered various tough problems since the start of his career, and this problem was perilous.

　　He had already inserted the thirty-third needle, and his effort would all be in vain if he stopped now. But if he insisted on it, then there's a high possibility that Qin Meimei might be greatly ill because of this.

　　Just when w.a.n.g Guofeng was hesitating, he felt a numbing sensation from his wrist. He turned his head and saw Su Tao holding onto his wrist.

　　"What are you doing?" Xu Wenzhi stood up in anger, "Why are you disrupting Divine Physician w.a.n.g?"

　　Lu s.h.i.+miao had widened her mouth. She never noticed when Su Tao stood up to stop w.a.n.g Guofeng. All of it happened in an instant.

　　She was panicking in her heart. The people here had been ignoring him, and now, Su Tao interrupted w.a.n.g Guofeng, wouldn't that cause others to be furious at him?

　　Facing this awkward situation, Su Tao showed a customary smile and swept a glance at Xu Wenzhi. "If he continues to apply acupuncture, then the patient might be greatly harmed."
