Courtyard House: Starting by inheriting the tradition and suppressing the barbarians.

"Mom, you're a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine, please take a look at these books."

Li Xuan handed the book to Su Yun.

Su Yun took it curiously, her gaze falling on the cover of the first book—"Burning Mountain Fire and Penetrating Coolness: Acupuncture Techniques Based on This."

She froze for a moment.

"Wildfire? And a refreshing coolness?"

As a senior TCM doctor, she had certainly heard of these two legendary compound acupuncture techniques.

It is said that "burning mountain fire" can make patients feel a burning warmth at the acupuncture site, and is a special treatment for stubborn cold-induced numbness.

On the contrary, "Tou Tian Liang" can make people feel cool to the bone and is specifically used to treat heat toxins.

However, both of these acupuncture techniques require extremely high levels of finger strength and qi sensitivity from the practitioner, and their lineage has been severely interrupted.

Nowadays, even the former directors of traditional Chinese medicine hospitals only have a superficial understanding of the subject and cannot achieve the effects described in ancient books.

Su Yun turned to the first page with a hint of disdain.

However, after reading only a few lines, her expression changed.

His previously nonchalant gaze instantly turned serious, and his brows furrowed.

His pupils suddenly contracted, and his hands began to tremble involuntarily.

"This...this Qi circulation route..."

"Three advances and one retreat, slow lifting and firm pressing... Qi reaches the affected area..."

"My God! This is the complete formula for acupuncture techniques!"

"And there are even annotations?"

Su Yun became increasingly alarmed and fascinated as she looked at the film.

The acupuncture techniques recorded in the book are exquisite and logically rigorous.

Many of the confusions she had encountered in her clinical practice before suddenly became clear after seeing a few key phrases in this book!

She then hurriedly flipped to the next few books—"The Fragment of the Thirteen Ghost Needles" and "The Taiyi Divine Needle Acupuncture Point Method".

Each one is more precious than the last!

Each one is more profound than the last!

"Xiao Xuan!"

Su Yun looked up abruptly, her voice trembling with excitement, "Where did you get these books?"

This isn't a book at all!

This is clearly a priceless treasure!

It is the lifeblood of the inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine!

Li Xuan had already prepared his explanation, and said calmly, "Mom, have you forgotten?"

"As I told you before, I once met an old Taoist master."

"These books were left to me by him, saying that I have a natural talent for enlightenment."

"I've been free these past few days, so I organized and copied this down for you to see."

"The old Taoist priest..."

Su Yun's eyes were filled with awe. "That old man must be a reclusive master!"

"This is an incredible stroke of luck for our Li family!"

She clutched the books tightly, as if they were priceless treasures, afraid of damaging even a single corner.

"Mom, take your time reading the book."

"I've noticed you've been rubbing your lower back a lot lately. Is your old back pain acting up again?"

Li Xuan pointed to Su Yun's lower back.

Su Yun is an acupuncturist who spends most of her time bending over to administer acupuncture to patients.

Over time, this led to severe lumbar muscle strain.

When it's cloudy or rainy, or when I'm overworked, my back hurts so much that I can't straighten up.

Although drinking the spring water has provided some relief these past few days, the underlying illness from many years ago is still there.

"Hey, it's an old problem, an occupational hazard, nothing I can do about it," Su Yun said with a wry smile.

"Mom, I just learned about the 'burning the mountain fire' technique from this book. How about I give you a couple of acupuncture needles to try?"

Li Xuan was eager to try.

He now possesses internal energy and acupuncture skills, and is just lacking someone to practice on.

"you?"

Su Yun hesitated for a moment.

Acupuncture is no joke; if done incorrectly, it can be fatal.

Although my son has changed a lot recently, this is a lost art.

"Don't worry, Mom."

"I've practiced many times under the guidance of that old Taoist priest, there's absolutely no problem."

"Besides, I'm your own son, would I ever harm you?"

As Li Xuan spoke, he pulled a set of silver needles from his pocket.

Seeing the confident look in her son's eyes, Su Yun made up her mind: "Fine! Then let you give it a try!"

"Anyway, Mom's back injury is an old one, so let's try anything as a last resort."

She lay down on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed) and lifted the back of her clothes.

Li Xuan took a deep breath, his eyes instantly becoming incredibly focused.

The silver needles in his hand gleamed with a cold light.

At that moment, he seemed like a different person, calm, capable, and exuding the demeanor of a master.

"Mom, it might be a little hot, please bear with it."

Before he could finish speaking, the silver needle in Li Xuan's hand had already fallen.

Kidney Shu, Large Intestine Shu, Weizhong...

The needle moves swiftly, accurately, and steadily!

Su Yun only felt a slight numbness in her waist, but not the pain she had imagined.

"This technique... is even more steady than the old director's?"

Su Yun was secretly surprised.

Immediately afterwards, Li Xuan began to administer acupuncture.

He held the needle handle with his fingers, without making any large movements.

Instead, he channeled the pure Yang energy within his body and slowly transferred it into the silver needles through his fingertips!

"Wildfire—through!"

boom!

Su Yun felt a warm current of air instantly penetrate deep into her waist muscles through the needle hole!

The feeling was like being suddenly given a scalding hot hand warmer in the freezing cold!

No, it's even more comfortable than a hand warmer!

The heat seemed to possess a spirit, flowing through her meridians.

Wherever it goes, the aches, pains, coldness, and stiffness that have lingered for years melt away instantly, like ice and snow meeting the scorching sun!

"Well!"

Su Yun couldn't help but let out a comfortable groan.

"It's so hot...but it feels so good..."

She could clearly feel the heat seeping in layer by layer.

From skin to muscles to bones, it was as if her entire waist had been "burned" through!

Five minutes later.

Li Xuan finished inserting the needles, a slight sweat appearing on his forehead.

Using his internal energy to control the needles still takes a toll on his current cultivation level.

"Mom, get up and walk around a bit."

Su Yun carefully propped herself up and tried to twist her waist.

The next second, her face showed an expression of extreme shock.

"No...it doesn't hurt anymore!"

She bent over dramatically in disbelief.

My palms touched the ground lightly, and the heavy, iron-like feeling in my waist completely disappeared.

Instead, there is an unprecedented sense of ease and flexibility!

It's like having a brand new waist!

"It's really healed!"

"A ten-year-old ailment, cured with just one injection!"

Su Yun suddenly turned around and stared intently at Li Xuan, as if he were looking at a monster.

If the previous books shocked her, Li Xuan's "burning the mountain fire" technique at this moment made her question her life!

This isn't acupuncture at all!

This is simply divine magic!

When did my own son become a miracle doctor?

"Xiao Xuan, you...you're so amazing..." Su Yun was so excited that he couldn't speak coherently.

"Mom, keep it low-key."

Li Xuan put a finger to his lips. "These are all things the old Taoist priest taught you. You should keep them to yourself and not tell anyone else."

"If people found out, our doorstep would be worn down by everyone."

Su Yun nodded quickly, covering her mouth: "Yes, yes, yes! We can't tell! This is a special skill!"

She looked at her tall and handsome son, her eyes filled with pride and joy.

Although her husband sacrificed his life, her son grew up and became successful!

And he's destined for great things!

"Mom, it's getting late, you should go to work."

"Take these books with you and read them often when you have time."

"Maybe you'll become the director in a couple of days," Li Xuan said with a smile.

"Okay! Mom's going right now!"

Su Yun carefully put the medical book into her bag and placed it close to her body, feeling as if the bag weighed more than a thousand pounds.

She stepped out of her house, facing the rising sun, her steps as light as a young girl's.

My back doesn't hurt anymore, my legs feel stronger, and I have more hope in my heart!

Watching his mother's departing figure, Li Xuan's lips curled into a smile.

"This is nothing."

"Mom, there are many more shocking days to come."
