Live Broadcast: My Blunt TCM Practice and My Patients Are Dying Online - Chapter 15

Wang Xuan was absolutely furious. She grabbed Chen Xing and started hitting him.

Chen Xing was clearly no stranger to being on the receiving end of her blows. He very expertly protected his face, letting Wang Xuan vent her anger on everywhere else.

Soon enough, Wang Xuan tired herself out and stopped.

Chen Xing, ever the sycophant, asked, “Tired, baby? Did you hurt your hand?”

Liu Yan, watching from the side, was utterly speechless.

He’s such a bootlicker!

Qin Jiang picked up a stick from nearby and handed it to Wang Xuan.

“Use this. It won’t hurt your hand.”

Chen Xing stared at Qin Jiang in shock.

Are you a psychopath!
Aren’t you afraid she’ll actually cripple me?

As if reading Chen Xing’s mind, Qin Jiang returned a look.

Don’t worry, my medical skills are superb. If she breaks you, I’ll fix you right here.

Fortunately, Wang Xuan still had some feelings for Chen Xing.
Although she was angry, it wasn’t like Chen Xing had cheated on her.

Wang Xuan politely declined the stick Qin Jiang offered.
“Thank you, Doctor Qin, but I’m feeling better now. Could you please take a look at my boyfriend’s hand and see how it should be treated?”

Qin Jiang put the stick down, somewhat disappointed.
A failed opportunity to increase revenue.

But Qin Jiang was, after all, a professional doctor. He quickly adjusted his attitude and said to Chen Xing, “Your condition is due to cold dampness invading the body. The conservative treatment is to go home and take medicinal baths. It’ll take over a month to heal.”

“Over a month?”

Chen Xing immediately shook his head.
“I have several performances coming up. Losing a month is definitely not an option.”

For major dance performances, the requirements for the dancers’ movements and form are extremely strict. Chen Xing’s right hand was injured. An ordinary person might not notice, but a professional would see immediately from the way he raised his arm if his posture wasn’t correct.

Wang Xuan also chimed in, “Doctor Qin, is there a faster treatment? Money is not a problem.”

Hearing the latter part, Qin Jiang’s eyes instantly lit up.
You should have said money wasn’t a problem sooner!

Qin Jiang said with a smile, “If you want a quick treatment, then acupuncture is the only way.”
“Although acupuncture is a bit expensive, I guarantee it will cure the problem immediately. It won’t affect your rehearsal tonight.”

Both their faces immediately turned red.
They’d already thrown their backs out once; how could they dare go back and rehearse?

“Then let’s do the acupuncture for him,” Wang Xuan said.

Chen Xing quickly shook his head. “No, no, I’m scared of needles. Let’s just do the medicinal baths.”

Wang Xuan pinched Chen Xing’s ear and threatened, “What medicinal baths? If you lose your job because of your injured right hand, how are you going to provide for me in the future?”
“Acupuncture it is. And make it good and hard!”

Under Wang Xuan’s threat, Chen Xing relented.

Qin Jiang had Chen Xing take off his jacket, exposing his right arm. He then unrolled his needle case and took out a silver needle.

“Doctor Qin, why… why is your silver needle yellow?”

Qin Jiang casually picked up a tissue and wiped the needle.
“Oh, I haven’t used it in a while, so it’s a bit dusty. Nothing major.”

Chen Xing’s mouth twitched. This seemed unreliable.
Haven’t used it in a while?
Do you even remember how to insert the needles?
Please don’t cripple me with a couple of misplaced needles!

Just as Qin Jiang was about to insert the needle, Chen Xing asked again, “Doctor Qin, does acupuncture… hurt?”
“It doesn’t hurt.”

Not giving Chen Xing another chance to speak, Qin Jiang swiftly inserted the first needle.

Chen Xing felt as if his right arm had been struck hard by a hammer. He cried out in pain, startling Wang Xuan.
Worst of all, Chen Xing found he couldn’t control his body!
It was like he had lost control; all he could do was lie there and endure the pain, screaming.

Chen Xing panicked.
“Doctor Qin, I can’t move! Did you paralyze me?”

Qin Jiang took out a second silver needle and wiped it with a disinfectant wipe.
“Relax, it’s a normal phenomenon. I was afraid you’d move around, so the first needle is to keep you still.”

Qin Jiang’s casual remark caused an uproar in the live stream.

“Holy crap, for real? One needle can paralyze someone? Does that kind of thing really exist?”
“I don’t know about paralyzing people, but I’ve seen a doctor who paralyzed someone by inserting a needle wrong. It happened in my village. True story.”
“Actor! This guy must be an actor! There’s no such miraculous acupuncture technique in this world!”
“Hey, upstairs, didn’t you see how this guy’s face instantly turned red right after the streamer inserted the needle? If he could control his facial flushing like that, his acting skills would be way more impressive than the streamer’s medical skills.”

Qin Jiang had no idea how much of a stir his paralyzing needle technique had caused.
In the Divine-Level Acupuncture Skill, this was just a simple auxiliary technique, only serving as an aid for treatment.

After wiping the needle clean, Qin Jiang continued.
The second needle, the third, the fourth…

Although Qin Jiang was young, his needle insertion technique was very professional.
Many veteran traditional medicine practitioners watching behind their screens, wearing reading glasses, studied carefully how Qin Jiang inserted the needles and which acupoints he targeted.

“Marvelous! This insertion is absolutely marvelous!” one elderly doctor exclaimed, his white beard trembling with excitement.
He had studied acupuncture for so many years, but this was the first time he had seen someone use silver needles with such transcendent skill!

The younger doctors nearby couldn’t see what was so special about it.
Seeing the old doctor so excited, they felt somewhat unconvinced.

“Elder Zhong, he just inserted a needle randomly. What’s so marvelous about that?”
“Randomly inserted a needle?”

Zhong Tinghe glared at the young doctor who spoke, walked over, and grabbed his hand.
The others thought Zhong Tinghe was going to hit him and hurriedly stepped in to dissuade.

“Elder Zhong, there’s no need for that! He doesn’t know any better. Please forgive any offense.”
Zhong Tinghe snorted coldly.
“You think I’m going to hit him?”
The others were stunned.
“Aren’t you?”
“Of course not!”

Zhong Tinghe reached up and felt for the young man’s right elbow, then pressed down firmly.
“Ouch!”

The young man felt a sudden sour, numb sensation shoot through his right arm and cried out involuntarily.
Fortunately, the sensation came and went quickly.
Although it only lasted a moment, the young man was already sweating slightly.

“Do you understand now?” Zhong Tinghe explained.
“This acupoint is located at the junction of two joints, right in the seam between the bones. Inserting a needle here requires extremely high precision and control!”
“But this young man not only dared to needle it, he did so accurately and flawlessly! His mastery of the needle far surpasses what an ordinary person can achieve!”

Seeing the fanatical look in Zhong Tinghe’s eyes, the other apprentices finally understood why he was so excited.
Now, when they looked back at Qin Jiang on the screen, their skepticism was replaced by admiration.

Back in the clinic.
After inserting the final needle into Chen Xing, the system’s prompt sounded in Qin Jiang’s mind.
