"The Nine Heavenly Chakra Needles Technique?!"
"What? Nine Heavenly Chakra Needles Technique?!"
Old Jin and his spoiled Granddaughter exclaimed in shock, their facial expression changing drastically, especially Old Jin. Unable to restrain himself, he grabbed hold of Daemon's two hands as he spoke, "Mister Daemon, are you speaking the truth? Do you really know the Nine Heavenly Chakra Needles Techniques ?!" His voice was filled with astonishment and hope.
Daemon could feel the vibration of Old Jin's hands as he held onto his own hands. This must have been because of his excitement and emotions. He didn't know that Old Jin had knowledge about medical Techniques. To him it was just a low grade medical Technique, he didn't know what they were so excited about.
Having started out from the path of medicine, the Nine Heavenly Chakra Needles Technique was a skill that he had used in the Immortal World before he started cultivation. When he had reached the Core Formation Stage, he stopped using it. Instead, he focused on using the Five Elemental God Acupuncture and the Five Elemental Meridian Sealing.
Looking at both the grandfather and Granddaughter's reactions, Daemon knew that he was in for more trouble. He rolled his eyes, troubled by how hard it was to keep a low profile in this world.
That being said, he was slightly happy. At the very least, from their reaction, he knew that this skill of his was still considered formidable in their world.
Being the biggest supplier of Traditional medicine and herbs, naturally, Old Jin's house was packed to the rafters with books on Traditional medicine. It is also a treasure trove of rare medical books. Precious medical books like and filled the shelves and bedside tables.
Not only had he memorized the whole , with decades of practice and research, he had even reached the quintessence of the book's teachings. Thus, he naturally knew about the Nine Heavenly Chakra Needles Technique mentioned in the 'Nine Needles Theory' section of . After all, it was the core essence of that book.
Furthermore, within 's seventh chapter, there is such a passage:
'Three parts form the skies, three parts form the land, three parts form the Man. When three meets three, a union of nine results. The nine forms the nine boundaries, the nine boundaries form the nine internal organs; four mortal organs, five god-created organs. Together, they form the nine organs in Man.'
The human body has nine boundaries and that refers to the nine essential internal organs in the body. These organs are the pillars supporting the human body. Thus, the twelve standard meridians and the eight unique meridians operate closely around these crucial pillars.
Therefore, the Nine Heavenly Chakra Needles Technique is an acupuncture that focuses on these nine organs. If one were to exaggerate, this means as long as a person still breathes, this skill would be able to save him or her from death's door. However, this skill had been lost in the passage of time. With no one capable of this technique, it was no more than a legend among legends.
Hence, when Old Jin heard that Daemon could use the legendary Nine Heavenly Chakra Needles Technique, how could he not enter into a frenzy of excitement?
As for Daemon, he had not researched the Traditional medical history of this world, thus, he did not know about any of its origins. If he had known about how amazing this skill of his was in this world, he would never have admitted to practicing the Nine Heavenly Chakra Needles Technique.
It was fortunate that Daemon was good at feigning ignorance. He then removed his hand. Daemon then asked suspiciously, "Yeah, I practice the Nine Heavenly Chakra Needles Technique. But why are you looking at me like that?"
Jin Ning'er had recovered from her shock and was in deep thought. She still felt that Daemon was lying. Having been taught Traditional medicine ever since she was a kid, she was by no means an amateur in this aspect. Having heard about the Nine Heavenly Chakra Needles Technique from her grandfather countless times, she was by no means a stranger to this topic.
Putting aside the fact that this skill had been lost since hundred of years ago, even if one learned about this skill, he or she had to supplement it with their innate spiritual energy to be able to use the skill. Daemon was just an eighteen-year-old high school student. He had just broken past his physical limits, how could he possibly have that kind of spiritual energy?
It was an impossible dream!
Having thought of this, Jin Ning'er felt completely disappointed as well as infuriated. Jin Ning'er pair of beautiful eyes continued to stare at Daemon. Her eyes which were filled with anticipation gradually became more cold and unfeeling. When Jin Ning'er was passionate, she was like fire but when a person incurred her hate, she would be as cold as ice to that person.
"Daemon, you can go back now. Grandpa doesn't need your help!" Jin Ning'er exclaimed in anger. She was no longer acting all coquettish, instead, her voice was flat and cold.
Of course, she wasn't going to let this liar continue spouting lies in front of her grandpa. After all, if her grandpa fell for his nonsense and let him do some ridiculous acupuncture that harmed his body, what would she do then? Thus, she was eager to kick him out of the house.
Sensing the change in her tone, Daemon looked at her indifferently and with a simple smile, he replied, "Very well and Old Jin, complete the paperwork as soon as possible, I want it ready as soon as possible."
Since they did not believe him, there was no need for him to waste his spiritual energy. Even though he had not obtained the silver needles yet, he had gained an unimaginable amount of wealth according to this world's standard just by killing a single person and his goons and had absorbed quite an amount of spiritual energy from the Golden Statute a while ago. Hence, it had been a worthwhile trip for him.
Having reached such a conclusion, he start walking towards the door. Now, it was Jin Ning'er's turn to be puzzled. After boasting so much, he's actually leaving quietly without even trying to explain or stand up for what he has said? Perhaps he really has no idea how to do acupuncture and is feeling guilty and what is this about paperwork, what is exactly going on here I must ask Grandpa after this. Jin Ning'er's mind was running wild with thoughts.
