Can't a girl be a traitor like Cao Cao?

Then, after placing the Ghost Doctor by the bedside, Chi Junlin brought a small stool and placed it in front of her, and then took off her shoes and socks.

You can see that her thighs and below are covered with many scars of varying depths.

It's unclear whether these are traces from experiments conducted by the fortune teller in the past, or scars left from her own treatment.

Or maybe both.

However, compared to her slightly pitiful thin legs, the Ghost Doctor's pair of small feet appeared delicate and exquisite.

Because he has been confined to a wheelchair for many years and has no exercise, he can't even feel any calluses on his feet.

And there was no body odor at all, only the girl's original body fragrance.

It feels like cold jade in your hand, small and exquisite.

Chi Junlin then held the Ghost Doctor's pair of fair and delicate feet in his hands and gently stimulated the acupoints on the soles of her feet.

Then he asked, "Can you feel anything?"

The Ghost Doctor glared at her with a slightly disdainful look and said sarcastically, "What do you think?"

Chi Junlin didn't say much, but instead, at his own pace, used his internal energy to probe the meridians in the Ghost Doctor's legs.

She knew that her medical skills were far from excellent, and she was probably far inferior to Tong Yan's understanding of the human body or the Ghost Doctor's understanding of poisons.

She doesn't remember the six meridians and more than sixty acupoints in the human leg very clearly.

But when it comes to using internal force to explore the inside of the human body, there are probably few people in the world more skilled than me.

As Chi Junlin probed, he casually asked the Ghost Doctor, "I heard from Wei Ziqing that your real name is Langya?"

"Ah."

The Ghost Doctor watched as Chi Junlin meticulously combed through her meridians, but she felt nothing and couldn't help but feel a little irritated.

So he replied absentmindedly, "My ancestors were the Prince of Langya, appointed by the previous dynasty. After the kingdom was destroyed, the whole clan fled to the southern border."

I was born while fleeing from war. My father, never forgetting his ambition to restore the country, simply named me Langya.

However, when I was young, my parents were arrested for treason, and I have never seen them since.

In order to survive, I and my old servant traveled to the Hunan region.

After my old servant died, I had no other way to survive.

It was around that time that the fortune teller found me and said he wanted to take me as his apprentice.

I had no other choice but to agree.

Looking back now, I wish I had refused.

If I had known I would end up like this, I would have preferred being a beggar to being a cripple.

Chapter 317 Blockage of the Ren and Du meridians, obstruction of acupoints

Chi Junlin nodded upon hearing this, indicating that he understood.

However, as his fingers traced various parts of the Ghost Doctor Langya's legs, he couldn't help but furrow his brow.

Because she had a feeling that Langya's legs were lifeless, more like two stones that looked like legs than living things.

Her internal energy flowed through Langya's legs, yet she couldn't find any trace of meridians.

It looks like a leg on the surface, but inside it is no different from a stone.

A look of confusion appeared on her face.

Langya saw the expression on Chi Junlin's face, even though he hadn't had any expectations to begin with.

But at this moment, he couldn't help but show a disappointed expression.

"It's normal that there's nothing I can do, I've long ago..."

"Don't be impatient yet."

Chi Junlin interrupted, "I don't think this is a problem with your legs. Take them off and lie face down on the bed. I need to check your spine."

Langya did not ask any further questions upon hearing this.

He simply followed Chi Junlin's instructions, took off his clothes, and lay down on the bed.

Her back appeared exceptionally thin, with her ribs even visible, making her look extremely bony.

However, Red King's attention was not on this.

Instead, he placed his hand on Langya's back.

He used his internal energy to probe her meridians.

Langya seemed to have never felt this way before; she felt a little itchy and tingly, and slightly hot.

So she bit her lip, afraid that she would make a strange sound.

This reaction is perfectly normal, indicating that there is no major problem with the acupoints on her back.

However, Chi Junlin continued to probe along her spine and onto her acupoints, and discovered the problem.

So he asked, "Have you ever practiced martial arts?"

"no, what happened."

Chi Junlin considered his words for a moment and then said, "In martial arts, the two major meridians in front of and behind the spine are usually called the Ren and Du meridians."

If you've ever practiced martial arts, you'll know that the goal of external martial arts training is to open up these two major meridians, creating two excellent pathways for the flow of internal energy. This makes it easier to cultivate internal martial arts.

However, your Du meridian, from the Yaoming acupoint to the Changqiang acupoint, is extremely blocked and sluggish. Even an ordinary person who has never practiced martial arts wouldn't be in this state.

The Zhongji acupoint is inside your body, but I don't know the details yet.

However, it now seems possible that when the fortune teller used your body to test for poison in the past, the poison became so potent that your body's survival instinct caused you to cut off the toxins traveling up the meridians in your legs in order to save your life.

While this saved your life, it also meant you lost control of your legs.

You haven't practiced martial arts, so you don't know the details. I think the fortune teller might know this.

However, clearing your meridians would actually hinder his continued experimentation, so he did not treat you.

If this continues, the blockage will become increasingly severe.

If this continues, your Ren and Du meridians will be completely blocked.

"Even a god couldn't save them then."

Langya was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, and couldn't help but raise his voice, "So you mean, there's still hope for my legs?"

Chi Junlin hesitated for a moment and did not give a definite answer.

Instead, he said, "I need to check the condition of your Zhongji acupoint again. Is that alright?"

"up to you!"

Upon hearing this, Chi Junlin pressed his thumb onto Langya's coccyx.

With hands forming an orchid shape, he gathers internal energy at his fingertips to probe the Zhongji acupoint in Langya.

Langya blushed slightly, feeling a little ashamed.

But the thought that my legs might actually be saved made me feel that I could accept whatever treatment my body received.

It's all worth it!

Chi Junlin slightly bent his knuckles, and his furrowed brows gradually relaxed.

He continued, “Your major acupoints are not completely blocked. I feel we can give it a try. Would you like me to unblock them?”

Let me tell you in advance that the condition of these acupoints of yours is very bad right now, and I am not confident that I can completely clear the meridians for you.

If you fail, the acupoints might be destroyed, and you'll never have a chance to stand up again in your life.

Upon hearing this, Langya gave a wry smile.

"Do I have any other choice now? You are the only person I can count on."

Go ahead and do it. Whatever the outcome, I won't blame you.

Upon hearing Langya's response, Chi Junlin nodded solemnly.

She felt a heavy responsibility on her shoulders.

Whether Langya can rise again depends entirely on its own efforts.

If successful, it would be Chi Junlin repaying Langya for this favor.

But if it fails...

It can only be said that Red King owes her even more.

With this thought in mind, Chi Junlin took a deep breath.

He continued, "Then, there will be some pain. If you feel you can't bear it, just call out to me, and I will stop."

He grunted in agreement, indicating that Chi Junlin could begin.

So Chi Junlin pressed down on the three major acupoints of Langya and began to slowly infuse his internal energy into them.

Just like practicing martial arts to open up the Ren and Du meridians, try to open up the acupoints that are almost blocked.

At the beginning of the treatment, Langya only felt a warm sensation near his tailbone, as if something hot was burning him.

But as Chi Junlin officially began his breakthrough, Langya subconsciously felt as if he were being pricked with needles in the lower half of his spine, and even his entire lower back.

Her muscles tensed up almost instinctively.

A look of pain appeared on her face.

Just as Chi Junlin had said, the pain was simply unbearable.

Langya almost cried out.

This outcome occurred because Langya had never practiced martial arts in his life.

Her acupoints were like those of a beginner, fragile and narrow, with little power to pass through.

Furthermore, the three major acupoints of Ren and Du at her lower end have been stagnant for many years, like a sewer entrance that has not been used for many years. It was initially blocked by poison and is now overgrown with vines.

What Chi Junlin had to do was to use high-pressure water jets to violently wash away these poisonous creatures and vines.

Perhaps during the flushing process, the roots of the vines were pulled out, causing the bricks of the entire drain to loosen.

In severe cases, it could destroy an entire sewer system.

So, in addition to enduring the excruciating pain of having his acupoints torn apart, Langya also needs a bit of luck.

If you're unlucky, and any one of the three major acupoints is destroyed—

The consequences could be catastrophic.

Red Queen will do everything she can to avoid this worst-case scenario, but she cannot control the final outcome.

We can only do our best to protect Langya's acupoints.

Not long after, the first acupoint on the Langya Du Meridian, the Yaoming acupoint, was opened.

This is the acupoint furthest from Zhongji (CV3), so it is least affected.

Chi Junlin cleared the acupoint with almost no internal energy.

However, the remaining two major acupoints, Changqiang and Zhongji, are of utmost importance.

In particular, the Zhongji acupoint felt almost completely blocked to Chi Junlin.

It was also the most difficult and challenging place for her to handle.

Chapter 318 Penetration

After breaking through the first major acupoint, Chi Junlin quickly followed up by attacking Langya's Changqiang acupoint.

Compared to the Yaoming acupoint, the blockage at the Changqiang acupoint is more severe.

Moreover, this acupoint can almost be considered the convergence point of nerves in the lower limbs, making it much more sensitive than other major acupoints.

When Chi Junlin made a breakthrough at this acupoint, Langya felt double the pain and found it extremely difficult to endure.

Every second that passed during this period felt like an eternity to Langya.

She was in so much pain that her face contorted, and she felt as if her entire lower body was being pierced by thousands of needles.

At this moment, Langya was in so much pain that he almost fainted.
