Then, Tan Tian inserted a needle into the Ren Meridian, Du Meridian, Chong Meridian, Dai Meridian, Yin Qiao Meridian, Yang Qiao Meridian, Yinwei Meridian, and Yangwei Meridian, all parts of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians.
The most critical moment arrived.
Tan Tian instructed Zhao Lei to leave the room and close the door, waiting outside. It was clear that whatever he was about to do, he didn’t want anyone to see.
Zhao Lei figured that Divine Doctor Tan was performing something akin to surgery and couldn’t be disturbed, so he obediently left the room and waited in the pharmacy.
Seeing Zhao Lei close the door, Tan Tian took a deep breath, adjusted Chen Tianlong’s body so it faced him, and then placed one hand to support his body while the other began Qi Cultivation.
The Tan Family focused on medical skills, and naturally, the cultivation techniques they used were also related to medical skills, so few paid attention to Tan Tian’s strength. In reality, Tan Tian was an Ancient Martial Cultivator, and an Advanced Ancient Martial Cultivator at that.
At this moment, he was going to use Tan Family’s unique acupoint technique to forcefully connect and communicate the meridians. Of course, it wasn’t connecting on its own but forced through with Powerful Qi.
Most of Chen Tianlong’s meridians hadn’t been completely severed but were tenuously connected, akin to broken lotus roots with fibers still attached. Thus, with his unique acupuncture combined with Qi linkage, a large number of meridians could be connected.
The most challenging part for Tan Tian was how to attach that extra meridian to Chen Tianlong’s Ren and Du Meridians.
While he was pondering, a dull explosion suddenly erupted within Chen Tianlong’s body, startling Tan Tian into hastily withdrawing his hand. Quickly, he grasped Chen Tianlong’s pulse gate to find out what was happening.
Two minutes later, Tan Tian widened his eyes, for he could sense a powerful Qi wave violently rampaging within Chen Tianlong’s body.
Though he had practiced medicine for many years, it was the first time Tan Tian had encountered such a situation. Whether it was a good thing or a bad one, Tan Tian was unsure.
Before long, the Qi wave dissipated, and upon checking the pulse again, Tan Tian was astonished to discover that most of Chen Tianlong’s meridians had been connected, which was quite perplexing.
A bodily explosion could reconnect meridians, a truly rare phenomenon!
Regardless, it was ultimately a good thing, and Tan Tian felt secretly fortunate that, by sheer coincidence, that unknown meridian of Chen Tianlong’s had connected with the Ren and Du Meridians in his body.
But what its function truly was, Tan Tian had no clue. The source of thɪs content is NoveIＦire.net
The silver needles slowly turned dark red, indicating to Tan Tian that all the blocked meridians on Chen Tianlong’s body had been opened. He smiled contentedly and then removed all the silver needles from Chen Tianlong’s body.
The remaining task was simple, yet critical. Although the main meridians of Chen Tianlong had been connected, the seemingly inactive foreign meridian had no apparent reaction. To stimulate it, only one solution remained.
Through medicinal penetration, the three main meridians would be synergized, forming a new environment to quickly reconstruct and establish a brand new meridian system. This was indeed a bold attempt by Tan Tian.
If Chen Tianlong weren’t already semi-comatose, Tan Tian wouldn’t dare to meddle , as it could potentially prove fatal. But Tan Tian considered that since Chen Tianlong was already a vegetative person, what could be more terrifying than that?
"Young brother, you can come in now."
Tan Tian shouted loudly.
Waiting anxiously outside for the result, Zhao Lei heard Tan Tian’s call and hurried over.
"Divine Doctor Tan, how is Chen Tianlong?" Zhao Lei asked worriedly.
"The meridians have been reconnected, but the meridian structure in his body is peculiar. Astonishingly, there’s one more meridian than normal, and it’s not secondary but more like a main meridian."
Tan Tian remarked with some puzzlement, "To be honest, Chen Tianlong relies on this meridian. Otherwise, he wouldn’t just be a vegetative person, but would have perished outright."
"What? It’s that serious? Then what exactly is it?"
Zhao Lei was also shocked.
Tan Tian took a deep breath and pondered, "Could it be... that legendary... impossible, typically only those Heaven-defying physique Advanced Ancient Martial Cultivators have it, and Chen Tianlong is just a person of the Mortal Realm, it should be impossible."
"Are you talking about... the Divine Vein?" Zhao Lei suddenly asked.
"Ah? Young brother, you know about the Divine Vein?" Now it was Tan Tian’s turn to be surprised.
"Heh, I read about it in novels, but could it really be a Divine Vein? Chen Tianlong would be astoundingly powerful then." Zhao Lei’s words hovered between truth and jest, making him enigmatic.
Tan Tian was speechless for a moment, but indeed, such things could be found online, though they were merely legends after all.
"Alright, young brother, no matter what, most of Chen Tianlong’s meridians have been reconnected. Now, for the final step, and a necessary crucial stage, an herbal bath."
Saying this, Tan Tian laid Chen Tianlong on an ice bed and then said to Zhao Lei, "I’ll write you a prescription. Later, help me gather the herbs from the pharmacy using this list while I arrange for someone upstairs to heat the water."
"Gather... gather the herbs? I’m not very good at that."
Zhao Lei scratched his head, worried that a mistake might harm Chen Tianlong.
"Time is short, just gather them, you won’t make a mistake."
Tan Tian was indifferent, confident in his extensive medical experience, recognizing the herbs at a glance, and assured he could correct any errors Zhao Lei might make.
Seeing Tan Tian’s trust in him, Zhao Lei took a deep breath and nodded.
In about five minutes, Tan Tian handed a prescription to Zhao Lei and quickly went upstairs. He needed to instruct the assistants to heat the water, as Chen Tianlong would need to stay in the bathtub for three days and nights.
About half an hour later, two middle-aged men entered the pharmacy, each carrying a bucket of water. Zhao Lei immediately understood.
Soon after, Tan Tian appeared, walked over to inspect the herbs Zhao Lei had prepared, and smiled with satisfaction, "Young man, nicely done, got them all right. Not bad at all, have you considered becoming my disciple?"
"Heh, Divine Doctor Tan, you’re too kind. I just followed the prescription, it wasn’t so difficult," Zhao Lei responded humbly, knowing that it’s best not to fully believe such flattery from a senior.
"Alright, but I’m serious. If you’re ever interested, do come to find me." Tan Tian spoke earnestly, his tone a bit more solemn as he gathered the herbs and entered the small room.
By then, there was almost enough water in the bathtub.
Zhao Lei placed Chen Tianlong into the bathtub and undressed him before adding the herbs. The water was truly hot, unbearable for an ordinary person, but since Chen Tianlong was unconscious, it did not affect him.
Beneath the bathtub was a charcoal heating system. Tan Tian instructed that coal should be added every hour. This way, Zhao Lei stayed in the small room to watch over the entire night.
As night deepened and quietness enveloped, Tan Tian, old as he was, left to sleep after giving instructions.
