"No, that's impossible. The Ghost Gate Needle is a legendary thing; how could it really exist!"

"Even if there were such a divine artifact, there's no way Liu Zixuan could have it!"

"Old Wu, don't be fooled by him. This guy might just be bluffing us!"

When Old Wu was shaken by the Silver Needle that Liu Zixuan took out, the people around started to chatter.

Liu Zixuan shrugged: "You'll know whether it's real or not once you try it. But I should warn you first, the Profound Thunder Needle has a unique trait: when it touches the skin, it instantly burns and corrodes."

As he said this, Liu Zixuan's gaze swept over the crowd: "Who wants to give it a try?"

Most people present didn't believe this was the real Profound Thunder Needle, but hearing Liu Zixuan speak like that made them pause. There's always a possibility, even if slight, that the needle might have some trick up its sleeve!

You Long stood up: "I don't believe this is real. I've been studying medicine for several years and don't believe in any Ghost Gate Needle, much less that this tiny Silver Needle can burn and corrode skin!"

"Dr. You!" Old Wu reached out and grabbed You Long's arm.

You Long laughed: "Old Wu, don't say more. Today, I want to show everyone that Liu Zixuan is nothing more than a complete charlatan; he's not as miraculous as they claim!!"

With that, he walked straight to Liu Zixuan, showing his arm: "Go ahead, if it turns out you're lying, then get out of Ghost Wood City immediately. Stop embarrassing the medical community!"

"It's the first time I've seen someone so reckless." Liu Zixuan smirked: "Alright then, just don't cry for mom and dad later!"

Liu Zixuan pinched the Profound Thunder Needle with his fingers and plunged it directly into You Long's arm without any mercy!

Hiss!

A burning sound arose, and smoke billowed out instantly!

Ah!

"Quick... get it off!"

You Long's face changed dramatically, his facial features twisted together in extreme pain, and sweat dripped down his forehead as he screamed like a slaughtered pig.

In the blink of an eye, the spot on the arm where the needle was pricked had a palm-sized piece of skin disappear, leaving a mess of bloody flesh and exposed white bone!

Liu Zixuan crossed his arms: "Sorry, this Profound Thunder Needle is new to me too; I only know how to prick it in, not pull it out! After all, I'm afraid it might burn me too!"

You Long looked at Liu Zixuan with an extremely unpleasant expression. He glanced around, suppressing the pain in his arm, and picked up a glass of water with his other hand, splashing it over.

Hiss!

Smoke rose again, and the burning sensation on his arm not only didn't disappear but also caught fire!

That was the Power of Thunder; how could ordinary water possibly help!

If the Profound Thunder Needle could be easily subdued, would it still be a treasure in the realm of National Doctors?

"Help... help!"

"Old Wu, save me!"

Old Wu frowned slightly and looked at Liu Zixuan: "Dr. Liu, please save him quickly."

"Not doubting the authenticity of this Silver Needle anymore?" Liu Zixuan sneered.

Old Wu shook his head: "I was convinced the moment you took it out, but Dr. You was too hasty!"

Liu Zixuan shrugged, pricked his fingertip to drip a drop of blood onto the Profound Thunder Needle, then took it off with his hand in one motion.

You Long's entire arm was nearly useless now, with only bone remaining from the wrist down!

He fainted on the spot as soon as the needle was removed!

"Hurry, get him out for emergency treatment!" Old Wu said to the nurse beside him.

A few nurses quickly brought a stretcher and wheeled You Long out.

The brief drama drew to a close, and from then on, no one dared to underestimate the Profound Thunder Needle in Liu Zixuan's hand!

"I never thought, really never expected, to see the real Ghost Gate Needle in my lifetime!"

Old Wu sighed deeply and then looked at Liu Zixuan; the disdain he had for him vanished completely, replaced by a sense of awe!

He chuckled awkwardly: "I never expected Dr. Liu to have such power at such a young age. No wonder Old Wei highly recommended you!"

"So, can I take the seat next to Old Wei?" Liu Zixuan pointed to the chair next to Old Wei!

"Of course!" Old Wu had nothing to say!

Strength commands respect, so how dare he say otherwise!

Liu Zixuan sat down in the chair, looking at everyone: "That fool You Long has left, so let's get to the main topic!"

"Uh... does Dr. You have a grudge against Dr. Liu?" Dr. Hu asked.

"No, I just find him unpleasant to look at."

"..." Such a forceful reason left everyone speechless!

This is the state of society; when you have enough power, even the most unreasonable statements you make sound justified!

"Old Wei and Dr. Hu have discussed the situation earlier, so let me talk about our treatment plan."

Liu Zixuan placed the Profound Thunder Needle on the table: "Later on, everyone will start searching for the three herbs I mention, and once gathered, bring them to my Suspended Pot Residence where I'll use the Profound Thunder Needle to mature these herbs, and then you can go treat the patients with them!"

"Dr. Liu, may I speak freely?" said a doctor from a nearby clinic, hesitating.

"Feel free to speak."

"Earlier, you mentioned these are just things from the medical books, but without practical trials, how can we be sure it will cure the patients?" the doctor from the clinic asked.

Liu Zixuan grinned: "I'll find a few patients in the hospital and treat them first so you can observe the procedure!"

"That would be good!"

"Now that we've settled, let's take action." Old Wei stood up and waved his hand: "Those who trust Dr. Liu, go find the herbs; those who don't can stay and watch him treat the patients."

Some people left sparsely, while others waited at the door.

Only Old Wei, Old Wu, and Liu Zixuan remained in the room.

Liu Zixuan asked: "Old Wu, do you have any other questions?"

"No."

Old Wu shook his head and smiled: "Dr. Liu, may I ask where you learned your skills?"

He pondered that someone so young who could handle the Ghost Gate Needle must have had a powerful mentor, so he assumed Liu Zixuan belonged to a strong sect!

Liu Zixuan laughed: "Sorry, my master doesn't allow me to reveal her name!"

Old Wu sighed, feeling a bit disappointed: "Then, could Dr. Liu let me take a look at your Ancient Medical Books?"

"I cannot!"

"... " Old Wu thought despite being the top National Doctor in Ghost Wood City, he was turned down twice by a junior, making him blush!

"Old Wu, don't force Dr. Liu. Whether it's the Silver Needle or the medical books, they're his treasures. It's natural not to show them!"

Old Wei advised.

Old Wu nodded his head, "Alright then, I'll wait outside!"

As he turned, a hint of greed flashed in Old Wu's eyes, clearly indicating that Liu Zixuan's two treasures had sparked his interest!

Perhaps it's because of these that he didn't continue opposing Liu Zixuan earlier!
