My Ares Son-in-Law

This memory weighed on Jiang Qingtao's heart like a huge rock, making him deeply suspicious of any seemingly simple and quick treatment. Therefore, when he heard Xiao Xianren suggest that only "a few needles" could relieve his father's symptoms, he couldn't help but feel an indescribable shock and confusion.

"Boss, if you don't understand, don't talk." At this time, Jiang Qingjiang's voice sounded beside him, with a hint of disdain and contempt. He turned his head to look at Jiang Qingtao, his eyes revealing an undisguised sense of superiority, "Don't compare those mediocre doctors in the secular world with a miracle doctor like Xiao Xianren. Xiao Xianren is a miracle doctor from Penglai Fairy Island. How can mortals guess his medical skills?"

Jiang Qingjiang's words were full of respect and trust for Xiao Xianren, as if Xiao Xianren's appearance had brought a turn for the better for his father's condition. His words were like a warm current, trying to dispel Jiang Qingtao's doubts and uneasiness, but invisibly deepened the gap between the two.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xianren simply glanced at Jiang Qingtao indifferently. His eyes showed helplessness towards worldly prejudices as well as confidence and determination in his own medical skills.

"This disease is not that difficult to treat," he said slowly, his voice calm and powerful. "Although it will take some time to completely cure it, it only takes a few injections to relieve the current symptoms. It's just that ordinary people like you are bound by worldly prejudices, so you worry about trivial things."

Xiao Xianren's words were like a gentle spring breeze and rain, which not only answered Jiang Qingtao's doubts, but also made him feel the gap between himself and the real miracle doctor.

He lowered his head silently, his heart full of admiration and gratitude for Xiao Xianren. Jiang Qingjiang raised his mouth proudly, as if he had seen the dawn of his father's recovery.

"You are indeed a famous doctor, you are different!" Jiang Qingjiang gave a thumbs up.

Xiao Chen, who was standing by, had originally intended to step forward to offer some help to Jiang Qingtao, after all, he was deeply moved by Jiang Qingtao's filial piety towards his father. However, when he heard Xiao Xianren's words and felt the confidence and composure emanating from him, he stopped.

Xiao Chen knew the reputation of the divine doctor from the Penglai Holy Land, and thought to himself: Although this old man's illness is considered difficult to treat in the secular world, it is not unsolvable for him who practices magic and is proficient in medical principles. However, he was more looking forward to witnessing with his own eyes how this divine doctor from the Penglai Holy Land would perform his magic of rejuvenation.

Under Xiao Chen's gaze, the silver needles were quickly and orderly taken out and arranged on a piece of white cloth, flashing a faint cold light. Xiao Xianren slowly stood up, his eyes moving back and forth between the silver needles and Jiang Qingtao's father's body, as if conducting a silent communication.

Then he took a deep breath, lightly grasped the silver needle in both hands, and his fingertips trembled slightly, as if he was performing a sacred ritual.

The first needle fell slowly.

Xiao Chen's brows were tightly furrowed almost instantly. His eyes followed the trajectory of the silver needle closely, and he thought secretly in his heart.

According to what he had learned and seen, if he were to perform acupuncture, the first needle would undoubtedly fall precisely on the Neiguan acupoint to harmonize the qi and blood and dredge the meridians. However, Xiao Xianren's choice was beyond his expectations, and the silver needle was steadily inserted into the Shenmen acupoint.

Xiao Chen couldn't help but feel a ripple in his heart. He knew very well that although the Shenmen acupoint could calm the mind and resolve the spirit, it was not the first choice when treating such difficult and complicated diseases.

However, Xiao Xianren's eyes revealed an unquestionable firmness and confidence, as if he had already made up his mind and had a precise grasp and unique understanding of every needle and every acupoint.

Although Xiao Chen's brows were still furrowed, the doubts in his eyes were gradually replaced by curiosity and expectation. The selection of these two acupuncture points seemed subtle, but in fact, it contained profound medical wisdom and precise judgment.

Neiguan point, as one of the commonly used acupoints of the Hand Jueyin Pericardium Meridian, is mainly effective in calming the mind and relieving restlessness, harmonizing the stomach and relieving reflux. Although it is helpful for regulating the liver, it is not the first choice directly for liver diseases.

Shenmen acupoint belongs to the Shaoyin Heart Meridian of the Hand and is an important acupoint for treating heart-related diseases. It can calm the mind and relieve anxiety. Although both belong to the category of regulating internal organs, they have different focuses. As the ancients said, "A doctor is a man of ideas." A slight mistake can lead to a great error.

Xiao Chen thought to himself that for a man known as a miracle doctor, such basic acupuncture point identification should be easy to do and could not be wrong. However, nothing is absolute in the world, so he had to consider multiple possibilities.

First of all, Xiao Xianren's judgment on the old man's condition may be biased. After all, no matter how skilled a doctor is, he cannot completely break away from the limitations of personal experience. In particular, if Xiao Xianren lacks Xiao Chen's keen soul perception ability, that is, mental insight, he may miss something or misunderstand the diagnosis of the condition.

He could tell the patient's condition at a glance because he possessed terrifying soul power, which Xiao Xianren obviously did not have, so it was very likely that he made a wrong judgment.

Furthermore, Xiao Chen also realized that acupuncture is profound and extensive, with many schools and acupuncture methods that are even more varied.

Perhaps what Xiao Xianren used was his unique multi-needle therapy. This therapy emphasizes the mutual response and synergy between acupoints, and achieves a more complex and delicate treatment effect by stimulating multiple needles simultaneously or sequentially. This possibility made Xiao Chen more awed and curious about Xiao Xianren's medical skills.

Of course, while exploring these possibilities, Xiao Chen also had to face a more direct and sharp question - is Xiao Xianren's medical skills really as superb as the outside world says? After all, in the field of medicine, any negligence or deficiency may lead to serious consequences.

Therefore, he secretly had some doubts in his heart, worrying that Master Xiao's medical skills might not have reached the legendary level, and might even be suspected of not being well-trained.

However, these thoughts only flashed through Xiao Chen's mind, and he quickly put them behind him.

However, when the decisive second needle landed accurately on the Chize acupoint, Xiao Chen's brows were deeply furrowed, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

Chize acupoint is located on the hand Taiyin lung meridian. Its main functions are clearing away heat and harmonizing the stomach, unblocking meridians and relieving pain. Its therapeutic purpose is very different from that of the previously used Shenmen acupoint, and it can almost be said to be diametrically opposed.

Xiao Chen pondered secretly in his heart. At this point, he had basically confirmed his judgment - this Immortal Xiao had indeed made a mistake in the choice of acupuncture points.

He sighed softly, feeling both regret for Xiao Xianren's medical skills and worrying about the consequences that might happen. After all, in acupuncture, the selection of acupoints is crucial, and the slightest mistake may backfire. (End of this chapter)
