chapter 3 Genmun nine needles

"Young man, it's good to be courageous, but you should also weigh your abilities," said the expert, Professor Ernest Xenos, who was invited by Kay, in a condescending tone.
While this statement seemed reasonable, it was actually a sarcastic jab at Nevada's limited skills, suggesting that he dared to show off despite his mediocre abilities.
"Professor Ernest, please don't bother with him. Quickly diagnose my father's illness!"
Kay immediately put on a smiley face in front of Professor Ernest, the expert brought in from the city hospital.
"Sure!"
With that, Professor Ernest glanced at Nevada, then took out a flashlight and examined Rob's eyes and mouth.
After the examination, Professor Ernest frowned.
"Professor Ernest, how is my father's condition?" Seeing Professor Ernest put away the flashlight, Kay immediately asked him.
"Your father's condition is quite serious. It requires the extremely rare medicinal herb King of Snow Lotus to treat, and further examination with the hospital's specialized equipment is needed."
Hearing his words, Nevada sneered in his heart.
What a load of nonsense!
He didn't see anything at all!
At this point, Nevada knew that the so-called guest of honor, Ernest, was actually a quack or had ulterior motives!
If all patients had to be taken to the hospital for tests, as long as they were compared with the test results.
Everyone knows what the patient's illness was!
True medical skills, even if they couldn't diagnose patients like Nevada using internal energy, they could also rely on the patient's pulse to have a rough idea.
Moreover, Rob's illness has nothing to do with the King of Snow Lotus!
This further solidified Nevada's belief that the expert in front of him had a problem.
"There's no time to lose. Let's get father to the hospital quickly!" Taking Professor Ernest's words as the ultimate truth, Kay immediately said to his eldest brother, Arnold.
Seeing that they were really going to act, Nevada couldn't help but stand up.
"If you don't want Grandpa Rob to die quickly, I advise you not to touch him."
As soon as Nevada spoke, everyone in the bedroom turned their eyes to him.
"Enough! I forgave you for delaying my father's treatment just now, and now you're pretending to be noble here!"
"Guards, get him out of here!" Kay angrily ordered Nevada out.
"Uncle..."
Seeing two bodyguards coming in from outside, Tina was about to plead for Nevada, but unexpectedly, Ernest spoke first.
"You say we can't touch him, do you know what illness he has?" Ernest looked contemptuously at Nevada and asked.
"Not only do I know why he is in a coma, but I also know that he doesn't need the King of Snow Lotus."
As soon as Nevada spoke, a trace of panic flashed in Kay's eyes.
"Nonsense! Our family has invited more than four famous medical experts, and they all said that we need the King of Snow Lotus to save my father!" Kay insulted Nevada fiercely.
"Is it Grandpa Rob who needs the King of Snow Lotus, or did you make him need that?" Nevada asked, looking at Kay with a playful expression.
"You..."
Seeing Nevada's confident expression, Kay felt a tremor in his heart.
"Ridiculous! Even I, the chief of neurosurgery at the city hospital, can't figure out what illness he has. How could a mere kid like you know?"
Seeing Nevada's calm demeanor, Ernest also became agitated.
"I won't tell you what illness he has, but I'll tell you that I only need six needles to wake him up. Do you believe it or not?"
"Hahaha! What a joke!" Kay and Ernest laughed out loud.
"So you're just a bragger!"
"So many experts and famous doctors are helpless, but you only takes six needles. Aren't you afraid of breaking your teeth with such big words?"
At first, Kay was worried that Nevada would see through his plan.
Now after hearing Nevada's words, he was immediately relieved!
Arnold and Tina were both hopeful when they saw Nevada's calm demeanor earlier.
However, like Kay, their faces showed undisguised disappointment when Nevada claimed he could cure Rob with just six needles.
They also mistakenly thought Nevada was just a braggart and a fraud.
"Since none of you believe me, let's make a bet."
"If I lose, you can do whatever you want to me."
If it weren't for the fact that Rob had been kind to him when he was young, he would never have acted.
Given Kay's attitude, he had no intention of acting violently.
"Fine! If you lose, I'll break both your hands!"
Since Kay was convinced Nevada was a fraud, he agreed without hesitation.
"Uncle, he's my friend. This isn't right!"
Although Tina also thought Nevada was exaggerating and felt disappointed, she was still kind-hearted and didn't want to see anything bad happen to him.
"Your friend chose to make the bet himself. I didn't force him!"
Kay looked smug and condescending.
Seeing Kay agree to the bet, Nevada took out a cloth bag from his pocket containing nine silver needles neatly arranged inside.
If there were true experts of medicine present, they would surely recognize the silver needles in his hands!
Because in the world of medicine, there is a saying, "If the Genmun Nine Needles couldn't save a life, Yama shall come."
The meaning of this saying is simple. It meant that even the Genmun Nine Needles cannot save a patient, and when midnight arrived, the Yama (King of Hell) will come to collect their soul!
However, since Nevada and his Genmun Nine Needles were not well-known, Kay did not recognize them.
"Hmph! Pretentious, even trying to use silver needles like others!" Kay snorted coldly.
Facing Kay and Ernest's mockery, Nevada didn't pay them any mind.
Having cultivated on the mountain for ten years, his state of mind was already calm and unruffled!
Seeing Rob's face contorted in pain, he burned the silver needles and slowly inserted them into the acupuncture points.
Despite hiss smooth movements, they were the result of countless hours of diligent practice and study!
To achieve such a level of skill in medicine, praised even by his master Hilary, he relied not only on talent but also on hard work.
Soon, after inserting all six silver needles into Rob's body, he let out a slow breath.
Because his acupuncture was not simple, he used his profound energy to enter Rob's body along with the silver needles, aiding the circulation of blood in Rob's body!
After the profound energy circulated through Rob's body and dispersing the stagnant blood, Nevada carefully removed the six silver needles.
At the moment when he removed the last silver needle, Rob's tightly closed eyes suddenly widened, and a mouthful of dark brown blood spurted out!
