The poor Prime Minister almost fainted…
After inserting the needles, Master Xie Yan did not proceed to the next one, but instead guided True Qi along the silver needles and into the Prime Minister's body.
"Elder brother, how do you feel now?" Master Xie Yan asked while treating him.
"No special feeling," the Prime Minister replied quickly.
Hmm…
Except for the overwhelming smell that made him want to throw up, there really was no other feeling…
Master Xie Yan smiled and nodded, appearing to have everything under control.
Fifteen minutes later, the second silver needle was placed on the Prime Minister's Tiantu acupoint.
Time ticked by.
As the tenth needle was just inserted, the Prime Minister's face suddenly flushed red!
This redness was not like the healthy flush of a normal person, but rather as if a large amount of blood had instantly gathered in his head and was being forced out.
Not only that, but the Prime Minister's body also began to twitch violently…
The old steward was terrified…
He wanted to ask, but was afraid this was part of the normal procedure.
If he interrupted and caused trouble, the sin would be too great.
However, the more he watched, the more he felt it was not a normal reaction…
"Don't panic, this is a normal reaction," Master Xie Yan turned his head and smiled slightly at the steward.
The steward quickly averted his gaze.
It wasn't that he couldn't bear to look at his face.
He was simply uncomfortable…
After twitching for about ten seconds, the Prime Minister finally stopped.
"Elder brother, how do you feel now?" Master Xie Yan asked with a smile.
"Hoo—!" the Prime Minister let out a long sigh. "Before, it felt like a large stone was pressing on my chest, but now I clearly feel much more relaxed."
As he spoke, his gaze became excited.
He had never felt so light on his body before.
This was definitely a divine doctor!
Although his treatment methods and tools were a bit…
They were indeed effective!
And they were very, very, very effective!
At this moment, he had no lingering doubts!
Feel free to stick me as much as you want!
Just don't stop!
As the eleventh needle was inserted, the Prime Minister's body began to "dance" again.
However, with the previous experience, the steward no longer panicked.
The Prime Minister had twitched for a while before and felt much better afterward.
Let him twitch hard!
The more violently he twitched, the better!
After stopping, the Prime Minister's mood became even more excited!
He felt even more comfortable than before!
The divine doctor took out a total of thirteen needles. If that was the case, would I be cured after two more needles?
Fifteen minutes later, the twelfth needle, accompanied by the Prime Minister's excited mood, was placed on his stomach.
"Clang, clang, clang!"
Because the Prime Minister's twitches were so violent, the entire bed began to shake.
This time, after twitching for a full five minutes, the Prime Minister finally stopped.
One word.
Bliss!
Since he had contracted this strange illness, his body had never felt so relaxed.
This feeling was simply wonderful!
A few minutes later, Master Xie Yan raised the thirteenth needle.
"After this needle is inserted, along with some auxiliary medication, your illness can be completely cured," Master Xie Yan said. "However, this needle will be a little painful, so you need to bear with it."
"Divine doctor, please proceed!" the Prime Minister replied excitedly.
Pain?
Having fought on the battlefield in his youth, what kind of injuries had he not sustained?
What was a mere pain worth?
Besides, it was just a small silver needle, how painful could it be?
Come, come, feel free to stick it in!
Don't be polite!
As the Prime Minister watched with eager anticipation, Master Xie Yan raised the thirteenth needle.
An accident happened at this very moment.
The Second Elder's body suddenly trembled, and soon he was shaking vigorously.
"Whoosh—!"
The Second Elder flashed and darted to the center of the room.
He stood with his fists clenched at his sides, his neck bobbing as he paced.
"Cluck, cluck, cluck—!"
As he paced, he imitated the crowing of a rooster…
This completely bewildered the Prime Minister and the steward.
Was this also part of the treatment?
On the other hand, Ye Fan was calm.
What was meant to come would eventually come.
This scene looked much more normal now.
However, Ye Fan felt that this scene seemed a little familiar.
"What are you looking at?" the Second Elder snapped impatiently at everyone. "I am a rooster, and roosters do not lay eggs!"
"Cluck, cluck, cluck—!"
Ye Fan suddenly realized.
This was exactly the scene when the Second Elder's mind had first gone awry!
He remembered that back then, he had treated himself as a silkworm pupa in bed…
"The Second Elder's old illness has recurred, I'll treat him first," Master Xie Yan instructed. "Elder brother, don't worry, it's not a big problem."
Watching Master Xie Yan turn to leave, the Prime Minister suddenly recalled Ye Fan's earlier reminder.
So he really had gone mad!
And it seemed to be quite serious!
Thinking about how the Second Elder had been channeling True Qi into him just now, he felt his entire being go cold…
"Big rooster, do you want to lay eggs?" Master Xie Yan approached the Second Elder and asked seriously.
"Are you stupid? How can a rooster lay eggs?" the Second Elder retorted contemptuously.
"If I say you can, you can!" Master Xie Yan nodded confidently.
"Really?" the Second Elder looked at him suspiciously.
"Of course!" Master Xie Yan's gaze was extremely firm.
"It seems quite interesting… then help me learn how to lay eggs." the Second Elder said happily. "Tell me, what should we do?"
"First, pluck all your feathers," Master Xie Yan pointed at the Second Elder's clothes.
"Don't try to trick me!" the Second Elder immediately became vigilant. "If I pluck all my feathers, won't you eat me!"
"I don't like eating chicken meat," Master Xie Yan shook his head. "If you want to learn to lay eggs, hurry up and listen to me."
"Alright, judging by your eyes, you don't seem like a bad person," the Second Elder grumbled, quickly stripping himself down to just a loincloth.
His movements were extremely practiced, suggesting it wasn't his first time…
"Now I'm going to give you acupuncture. After the needles are inserted, you'll be able to lay eggs."
Master Xie Yan said this while reaching into his crotch.
This time, the search clearly took longer.
When he extended his hand again, he was holding a large handful of silver needles.
Roughly estimating, there must have been at least a hundred to start with!
Master Xie Yan's movements were swift.
In just two or three minutes, all hundred-plus silver needles were inserted into the Second Elder's body.
Master Xie Yan reached into his crotch again and started rummaging.
When he pulled his hand out, there were another hundred-plus silver needles.
Insert needles.
Retrieve needles from crotch.
Insert needles again.
…
Back and forth more than ten times, adding up to over a thousand needles!
Ye Fan was simply stunned!
This Master Xie Yan's crotch was something else?
How could he possibly fit over a thousand silver needles in there?
The thought of Master Xie Yan hopping around with over a thousand silver needles stuffed in his crotch made Ye Fan feel a chill down his spine…
Spiritual powerhouses, truly terrifying!
With over a thousand needles stuck into his body, the Second Elder now looked like a hedgehog.
The Prime Minister beside him watched with some apprehension.
He felt that this scene was too bizarre…
Just then, he suddenly felt a warmth coming from the places where the needles were inserted.
Following that, came intense pain!
The Prime Minister's body began to twitch again.
However, while the twitching before brought relief, now it only brought pain…
He wanted to cry for help, but to his horror, he found he couldn't open his mouth!
"Clang, clang!" The Prime Minister's convulsions grew more severe, and the entire bed began to shake again.
The steward smiled slightly.
This time the twitching was even more violent than before, indicating the Prime Minister was nearing recovery.
Let him twitch to his heart's content!
The more violently the better!
Before long, the Prime Minister fainted in excruciating pain.
But his body continued to twitch…
"Clang, clang…"
