"So comfortable…"
After a series of essential oil massages and acupuncture treatments from Kil Diya Ka, Yisong Dazhi felt incredibly at ease.
He wasn't sure if it was the comfort of a beautiful woman's oil massage or the acupuncture treatment that made him feel so good. Finally, Kil Diya Ka performed a hot oil topping treatment to cleanse his mind, instantly invigorating Yisong Dazhi's spirit, which had been weakened by illness…
Overall, Kil Diya Ka's treatment process provided Yisong Dazhi with comfort and relief from his ailments, but it seemed to be only a temporary effect!
The eight judges watched the entire process, taking notes, and nodded in approval of Kil Diya Ka's treatment.
Next, Sakata Takumi began his treatment. He naturally did not use essential oil massage, proceeding directly to acupuncture for Yisong Dazhi.
The Hanfang medicine of the island nation originated from Chinese traditional medicine, so the acupuncture needles used were identical to the silver needles used in China. However, this time, Sakata Takumi used golden needles and immediately administered a set of exquisite acupuncture techniques to Yisong Dazhi…
"It's the Linggui Bazhen!"
Li Tiangui, one of the judges, exclaimed upon seeing Sakata Takumi perform this acupuncture technique. It was the long-lost Linggui Bazhen. Even Wan Yunting was surprised, knowing that Linggui Bazhen was a highly advanced acupuncture technique, but it was rumored to be lost. To see Sakata Takumi from the island nation perform it was astonishing.
Li Tiangui's old face turned extremely grim. Linggui Bazhen was the signature skill of the Gongxie sect, and its successor was named Zhang Ru, the twenty-seventh-generation successor of the Gongxie sect.
During the Republic of China era, Zhang Ru was a prominent figure in the medical field. However, during the Anti-Japanese War, Zhang Ru was captured and his whereabouts became unknown.
Now, seeing Sakata Takumi use Linggui Bazhen, Li Tiangui realized that Zhang Ru had fallen into the hands of the island nation's people in those years, endured inhuman torture, and it was through him that Linggui Bazhen was obtained!
Wan Yunting was also aware that Linggui Bazhen was the signature technique of the Gongxie sect. He knew about the great destruction and plundering of traditional Chinese medicine during that dark war. Witnessing Sakata Takumi use Linggui Bazhen was a humiliation…
Linggui Bazhen had many effects, including being effective in treating spinal diseases. However, Wan Yunting observed Sakata Takumi's clumsy use of Linggui Bazhen, and without the aid of internal energy, it would have little effect on treating spinal diseases, only temporarily alleviating the pain.
Traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture treatment methods most critically rely on the practitioner's technique and internal energy!
This is because traditional Chinese medicine and martial arts are interconnected. For very ancient and profound acupuncture techniques like Linggui Bazhen, to achieve good therapeutic effects, the medical practitioner must be a martial artist, and moreover, a martial arts master with profound internal energy, to effectively utilize the therapeutic effects of acupuncture.
Yet, looking at Sakata Takumi, he was not a martial artist. His needle insertion technique was also very clumsy; it was evident he had rarely treated patients with needles. Therefore, even if he used Linggui Bazhen to treat Yisong Dazhi's ankylosing spondylitis, he could not display any significant effect.
"Dazhi-san, how do you feel?"
After finishing the treatment for Yisong Dazhi, Sakata Takumi confidently patted his shoulder and asked.
Yisong Dazhi, lying prone on the medical bed, rolled his eyes speechlessly and did not reply.
Sakata Takumi said displeasedly, "Dazhi-san, if you are still our island nation's citizen, you should say something!"
"I'm sorry, I am now a citizen of Country H."
Yisong Dazhi, turning over and lying on his back, said expressionlessly, "Also, I felt no sensation from your treatment. Your needle insertion technique was very heavy; it cannot be compared to that Indian beauty doctor."
"Nani."
These words instantly enraged Sakata Takumi, who pointed at Yisong Dazhi and began scolding him with a barrage of "Baka, baka…"
Half an hour later, Zheng Xiuyan began her acupuncture treatment for Yisong Dazhi. Wan Yunting, watching her professional needle insertion technique, couldn't help but nod in approval. Zheng Xiuyan's acupuncture technique had reached a professional level, though there was still some distance to reach the realms of consummate skill or mastery.
However, for someone her age to possess such professional skills was very outstanding among the younger generation. This caused the chairmen and presidents of the medical associations from various countries present to admire Zheng Minji's effective teaching, capable of nurturing such a promising young physician as Zheng Xiuyan.
"The needle technique she is using is called Jinzhen Fu, another famous acupuncture method!"
Li Tiangui observed the technique Zheng Xiuyan was using, the renowned Jinzhen Fu's Huoshao needle technique. This technique had a high degree of difficulty, and Zheng Xiuyan's ability to use it completely was considered quite good.
It was a pity that Zheng Xiuyan was also not a martial artist, unable to assist her needle technique with internal energy. Therefore, the Huoshao needle technique from Jinzhen Fu could not be utilized to its fullest potential.
But at least it could alleviate Yisong Dazhi's ankylosing spondylitis pain by a few points, causing him to groan comfortably. He said to Zheng Xiuyan in Korean, "So comfortable…"
Zheng Xiuyan smiled politely and nodded, retracting her silver needles. She then nodded to her father, Zheng Minji, and turned to glance at Wan Yunting, seemingly to show off and confidently issue a challenge.
Wan Yunting rubbed his nose and smiled, naturally saying nothing.
After another half hour, Zheng Minji smiled and said, "Chairman Wan, it's your turn."
Wan Yunting nodded. Under the expectant gazes of Li Tiangui and Chen Jiadong, he approached Yisong Dazhi, who was lying on the medical bed, and said in English, "Turn over and lie on your stomach. I'll massage your spine first."
Yisong Dazhi, who understood English, was stunned. He struggled to turn over, and Wan Yunting helped him to flip him onto his stomach. Yisong Dazhi asked, "Are you going to give me an oil massage?"
Wan Yunting rolled up his sleeves. He looked at Yisong Dazhi's crooked spine, with the most severe misalignments in his upper cervical spine and thoracic spine. He placed his hands along Yisong Dazhi's neck and began to massage the cervical spine, smiling and saying, "You'll be disappointed, I'm not a beautiful woman giving you an oil massage."
"Ouch, ouch…"
As a result, Yisong Dazhi cried out in pain repeatedly, "Please be gentler…"
Wan Yunting's hands did not lessen their force, and he smiled, "Don't worry, you'll be calling it comfortable soon."
Ankylosing spondylitis is a chronic disease belonging to the rheumatic immune diseases. Its main affected areas are the sacroiliac joints, spine, and peripheral joints, accompanied by varying degrees of eye, lung, intestinal, and cardiovascular lesions, as well as joint manifestations. In severe cases, spinal deformity and spinal fusion can occur.
Yisong Dazhi had severe spinal deformity, accompanied by mild fusion symptoms. Therefore, Wan Yunting first massaged his spinal bones, then used acupuncture, and finally, would proceed to correct his deformed spine!
"Hoo, so comfortable…"
In a short while, Yisong Dazhi clearly felt Wan Yunting's hands as if they were a pair of hot hands. With his professional massage techniques, the pain in his spinal bones was relieved, and he felt an indescribable sense of comfort, his entire expression showing that "very satisfied" look, yes, the kind of expression one has after making love…
Those around watched Yisong Dazhi's comfortable expression under Wan Yunting's massage, causing them to point and whisper amongst themselves…
"This Chairman Wan is not simple!"
Kim Byung Guk, the former chairman of the Korean Medical Association, furrowed his brow. His eyes were fixed on Wan Yunting's hands as he massaged Yisong Dazhi's spine. He could clearly sense an invisible "Qi" flowing from Wan Yunting's hands, which greatly shocked Kim Byung Guk.
He had encountered this kind of "Qi" before; it was years ago when he met a Qi Dao master from their country, who possessed this astonishing "Qi"!
But what deeply shook Kim Byung Guk was that Chairman Wan of the Chinese Traditional Medicine Association, at such a young age, possessed such soul-stirring "Qi." This made him incredulous and found it unbelievable.
Because the Qi Dao master Kim Byung Guk had met had practiced Qi Dao for decades and was renowned in Country H. Yet, Kim Byung Guk believed that the "Qi" released by that master was not on the same level as the "Qi" released by Wan Yunting now; the latter's "Qi" was truly astonishing!
Subsequently, Wan Yunting took out a set of ordinary silver needles. Unlike Zheng Xiuyan and Sakata Takumi, who had to sterilize them before inserting them into Yisong Dazhi, Wan Yunting held a ten-inch silver needle with his right hand's three fingers, while his left hand pressed on an acupuncture point on the upper cervical spine of Yisong Dazhi's neck. His right hand inserted the needle with extreme speed…
At the same moment, Li Tiangui, Zheng Minji, and the others nearby clearly felt a powerful aura emanating from Wan Yunting's right hand holding the needle. In the blink of an eye, the silver needle was inserted into the acupuncture point of Yisong Dazhi's neck spine.
"What fast needlework!"
Kim Byung Guk's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
Zheng Minji, Zheng Xiuyan, Kim Hak Woo, and other members of the Korean Medical Association also looked bewildered, their eyes filled with surprise as they watched the speed of Wan Yunting inserting needles into Yisong Dazhi. It was a smooth, swift, and lightning-fast process. In the blink of an eye, several major acupuncture points on Yisong Dazhi's spine were pierced by ten-inch silver needles, each inserted five fen deep, all in one fluid motion. Yet, Yisong Dazhi, lying prone, felt no pain from the needle insertion…
"Hmm, you inserted needles? Why didn't I feel anything?"
Even Yisong Dazhi couldn't help but twist his head to glance at Wan Yunting beside him, asking with confusion and astonishment.
Wan Yunting exhaled, regulating the internal energy in his dantian. Although his needle insertion was swift, these six needles alone consumed a considerable amount of his internal energy. He said sternly to Yisong Dazhi, "The critical moment for treating your spinal disease is next. It might hurt a bit, so you need to endure it. As long as you get through this, I guarantee you'll be able to get out of bed and walk!"
"Nani, ah…"
Before Yisong Dazhi could even comprehend what was happening, he looked up the next second, his eyes wide open, his mouth agape, letting out a pig-like scream. Wan Yunting, fully focused and with a solemn expression, gripped Yisong Dazhi's crooked spine with both hands and, with a crack, directly twisted it back into its joint position…
"This, is this bone setting?"
The chairmen and presidents of the medical associations from various countries, along with Zheng Xiuyan, Kil Diya Ka, Sakata Takumi, and others, stared with wide eyes in shock as Wan Yunting was setting Yisong Dazhi's bones. Sakata Takumi, realizing what was happening, shouted, "Are you crazy? Do you think ankylosing spondylitis is a common lumbar disc herniation? You're setting his bones; you're essentially trying to kill him!"
"Stop it quickly…"
The members of the Korean Medical Association also snapped back to reality and shouted at Wan Yunting, trying to stop him from continuing to set Yisong Dazhi's bones…
Li Tiangui, Chen Jiadong, and Yuan Jingguo were also stunned. They knew that ankylosing spondylitis was not a common condition like lumbar disc herniation that could be treated with bone setting. Ankylosing spondylitis, if mishandled even slightly, could press on the spinal nerves and be fatal at any moment.
"Chairman Wan, stop quickly…"
This made Professors Yuan Jingguo and Chen Jiadong anxious, and they shouted to stop Wan Yunting. If something were to happen to Yisong Dazhi, the situation would become extremely serious…
