“Little Ye, do you still have something to do？”
Seeing that Ye Qiu turned back again, the Dragon King felt a little strange and asked.
Ye Qiu said： “I just suddenly thought of a way that might be a little helpful for your illness.”
“Oh？” The Dragon King’s eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, “What way？”
“Using acupuncture！”
Upon hearing this, the light in the Dragon King’s eyes instantly went out.
“Little Ye, thank you. In my current situation, acupuncture won’t have any effect.”
Over the years, the Dragon King has sought medical treatment from countless famous doctors, and he has also tried using acupuncture to treat the gu poison, but it has had no effect at all.
Ye Qiu said： “Dragon King, although the acupuncture method I mentioned can’t help you get rid of the gu poison or cure your body, it can help you prolong your life.”
“My life is coming to an end. Let’s not waste our efforts… What did you just say？ Prolong my life？”
The Dragon King was suddenly reacted and looked at Ye Qiu in astonishment.
“Yes, it can help you prolong your life.” Ye Qiu said.
“You’re not kidding me, are you？” The Dragon King didn’t quite believe it.
After all, the art of prolonging life only exists in legends and TV dramas. In real life, no one has ever heard of anyone who can perform this secret art.
“I’m not kidding you. Everything I said is true.” Ye Qiu said extremely seriously.
The Dragon King looked at Ye Qiu for a while. Seeing that he really didn’t seem to be telling lies, he then asked, “Then how long can it help me prolong my life？”
“If everything goes smoothly, it can allow you to live for one more month.”
“Only one month…”
A look of disappointment appeared on the Dragon King’s face again.
Is there a difference between seven days and one month？
There’s no difference.
It’s just waiting to die anyway.
Zhao Yun had been by the Dragon King’s side for so many years and could tell what the Dragon King was thinking at a glance. He quickly spoke up to persuade him, “Dragon King, since Ye Qiu has this ability, let him prolong your life！”
Although one month is not a long time, it can also buy you some time.
Maybe within this one month, we can find someone to cure your poison.
“It’s easy to say！ For a full nine years, I’ve sought out so many famous doctors, and none of them could tell that I was poisoned. Do you think that in just one month, we can find someone to cure my poison？” The Dragon King didn’t hold out any hope at all.
Over the years, he had learned a truth: the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
Before, whenever he found a famous doctor, the Dragon King would be excited and have great confidence in the doctor, but the result was disappointment again and again.
Zhao Yun continued to persuade, “Dragon King, in the past nine years, we’ve seen so many doctors, and none of them could tell that you were poisoned. But Ye Qiu just came today and saw it at a glance. Now he can also prolong your life. What does this mean？ It means that your life is not meant to end.”
You should let Ye Qiu prolong your life for you！
I believe that good people have their own good fortune. There will definitely be a turning point within this one month. Ye Qiu, don’t you think so？
Zhao Yun winked at Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu understood and also persuaded, “Dragon King, don’t hesitate any longer. Let me prolong your life！”
The Dragon King said, “There is not much difference between seven days and one month. Moreover, dying a little earlier is a kind of liberation for me. You don’t know that the feeling of abdominal pain in the middle of the night is really worse than death！”
Ye Qiu said, “Dragon King, I just forgot to tell you that once the life extension is successful, the symptoms of abdominal pain will disappear immediately.”
“Really？” The Dragon King was a little skeptical of Ye Qiu’s words and said, “The gu poison has not been removed. How can the abdominal pain disappear？”
“This is the magic of this acupuncture technique. Although it cannot remove the gu poison, it can prolong life and relieve pain.”
“If it is really like what you said, and there will be no more abdominal pain, then it is okay to give it a try.”
Zhao Yun quickly said, “Ye Qiu, the Dragon King has agreed. You should quickly perform acupuncture on the Dragon King to prolong his life！”
“Do you have silver needles？” Ye Qiu asked.
“There are at home. I’ll go get them right away.” Zhao Yun quickly ran into the house. When he came back, there was a medicine box in his hand.
Opening the medicine box, there were silver needles, alcohol, disinfectant cotton balls…
Everything was available.
Ye Qiu first clamped a disinfectant cotton ball with tweezers, then poured alcohol on the disinfectant cotton ball, and then picked up a silver needle and wiped the silver needle with the alcohol cotton ball for disinfection.
In this way, it took nearly three minutes to disinfect all the silver needles.
“Dragon King, you turn your back to me and untie your upper clothes.” Ye Qiu said.
The Dragon King immediately did as he was told.
Ye Qiu reminded again： “When I insert the needles later, it will be quite painful. If you can’t stand it, just shout out！”
“Don’t worry. Over the years, I have endured abdominal pain every day. The pain of needle insertion is nothing.”
“Then I’ll start？”
“Start！”
Whoosh——
Ye Qiu quickly inserted a needle into the Dragon King’s Dazhui acupoint.
Two seconds later.
Ye Qiu asked the Dragon King： “Do you have any feeling？”
“A little numb, a little painful, and it’s getting more and more painful. Ahhh… so painful！”
The Dragon King shouted loudly.
Zhao Yun was shocked and quickly asked： “Ye Qiu, nothing will happen to the Dragon King, right？”
“Don’t worry, this is a normal reaction.”
Ye Qiu picked up another silver needle and quickly stabbed it into the Dragon King’s Shendao acupoint.
“Ah…”
The Dragon King’s shout was even louder.
Then, Ye Qiu inserted a silver needle into the Dragon King’s Lingtai acupoint.
The Dragon King suddenly stopped screaming in pain.
“Do you feel better now？” Ye Qiu asked.
“Yeah.” The Dragon King nodded. The first two needles almost took half of his life, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
“From now on, it won’t hurt anymore. Even, it will help you adjust the balance of yin and yang in your body.”
Ye Qiu continued to insert the needles.
The fourth needle was inserted into the Zhiyang acupoint.
The fifth needle was inserted into the Zhongshu acupoint.
The sixth needle was inserted into the Jizhong acupoint.
The seventh needle was inserted into the Jueyinshu acupoint. The eighth needle was inserted into the Sanjiaoshu acupoint.
The ninth needle, the Mingmen acupoint！
The acupuncture was completed.
A miraculous scene occurred.
It could be seen that at the intersection of the Dragon King’s back, the raised purple meridians disappeared without a trace, as if they had never appeared before.
Hoo——
Ye Qiu let out a long breath.
It was successful！
“How do you feel now？” Ye Qiu asked the Dragon King.
“I feel much better. My body is warm, just like before I was poisoned by the gu. It’s very comfortable. Little Ye, what kind of acupuncture technique is this? Why is it so miraculous?”
“This is the Nine Needles for Returning Yang, which can regulate the balance of yin and yang in the human body and replenish the vitality.”
“You are really amazing. You have actually mastered such a powerful acupuncture technique.”
Ye Qiu smiled, thinking to himself that it was not himself who was amazing, but the old ancestor of the Ye family！
The old ancestor of the Ye family passed on so many things to himself. Any one of them was an amazing divine skill. I really don’t know how powerful this old ancestor of the Ye family was during his lifetime？
“Ye Qiu, was the life extension successful？” Zhao Yun asked nervously.
“It was successful.” Ye Qiu said, “Within a month, the Dragon King’s life will be fine.”
“That’s good.” Zhao Yun let out a sigh of relief.
Just then, the mobile phone in Ye Qiu’s pocket rang suddenly.
