Chapter 47 Treat Me Like a Friend
"Yes, this is the Taiyi Divine Needle. You can see it, which proves that you have good taste.”Chu Xiao smiled and nodded.
" What's the use of having good taste?" Ning Zhe said bitterly. I still lost to you. I didn't expect it to be the ultimate skill of the Taiyi Divine Needle.”
"To be honest, you didn't lose in acupuncture. The King Pharmacist's acupuncture technique is not bad either. It's a unique skill that is as famous as the Taiyi Divine Needle.”Chu Xiao said. He reckoned that Ning Zhe had been too successful under his grandfather's protection, so he lacked the ability to remain calm in the face of danger.
"Yes, I am. Grandpa taught me all day long that there's always someone better than you. I didn't believe it in the past, but now I finally understand.”"Name your price," said Ning Zhe.”
"Name a price? What price?" Chu Xiao asked doubtfully.
"The tablet of the Needle King is the family heirloom of our Sun family. I can't give it to you. Name a price and I'll buy it." Ning Zhe said seriously.
Chu Xiao's eyes narrowed as he looked at Ning Zhe with a faint smile. It seemed that Ning Zhe was not only lacking in training, but his thinking was also rather childish in certain aspects.
"How much do you want? Is one million enough?" Ning Zhe felt uncomfortable under Chu Xiao's gaze. In his panic, he actually took the initiative to bid.
Chu Xiao shook his head with a smile and did not agree.
"Two million?"
Chu Xiao shook his head.
"Five million? This is the highest price I can offer." Beads of sweat began to form on Ning Zhe's forehead. Use your own money to buy your own plaque. If word of this got out, the reputation of Ningzhe and even the Divine Needle Hall would be ruined. However, he clearly knew that it was foolish, yet he still had to do it. If Chu Xiao were to take the plaque away later and others saw it, his family's clinic would no longer have the face to continue operating.
"I'm not selling it. Such a big piece of yellow pear wood is worth this price, right? Didn't your junior brother brag about how valuable this flat was?”Chu Xiao said with a smile.
Ning Zhe's heart sank, and he was filled with regret. He regretted letting his scoundrel junior brothers boast about the extraordinary origins of this plaque in front of Chu Xiao, and he should not have underestimated Chu Xiao and agreed to compete with him in medical skills.
But it was too late now!
"Name your price. How much do you want? As long as it's within the range of my Sun family, I can give it to you!”
Ning Zhe stared at Chu Xiao anxiously, like a pitiful rabbit mother begging Chu Xiao, the big bad wolf, to return her baby rabbit.
"I don't want money. I want the plaque. I don't lack money.”
Chu Xiao finally gave a clear answer.
" You-" Ning Zhe almost vomited blood. "Leave a line in life so that we can meet again in the future. Do you have to be ruthless?”
Ning Zhe knew that if Chu Xiao were to take the plaque away. Then, he wouldn't need to open this shop that earned a lot of money every day. More importantly, the reputation of the Sun family's family of divine doctors would be completely destroyed.
"Hehe, Big Brother Ning, I'm just joking with you. I really came here to ask your grandfather for medical advice. I just saw that you didn't let me in, so I purposely provoked you this time. I'm willing to exchange my Imperial Physician's Godly Needles for your Medicine King's Needles. I was just joking just now. I hope you don't mind.”
Seeing that Ning Zhe was really anxious, Chu Xiao finally told the truth.
"Chu Xiao, are you saying that you really don't want my family's plaque anymore?”
Ning Zhe still did not believe Chu Xiao's words and said doubtfully.
"Big Brother Sun, we are both pioneers and advocates of Chinese medicine. Do I need to lie to you? Let's forget about what happened earlier, okay? This was what it meant to get to know each other without fighting! Chu Xiao said sincerely when he saw that Ning Zhe did not believe him.
Ning Zhe looked at Chu Xiao and saw that his eyes were filled with sincerity. Only then did he believe Chu Xiao's words.
"Brother Chu Xiao is right. We're called friends who don't get to know each other.”Ning Zhe put down the burden in his heart and patted Chu Xiao's shoulder.""Go to the living room and rest for a while. I'll call my grandfather to come back now. He's out fishing. If my grandfather hears that you are the successor of the Taiyi Godly Needle, he will definitely rush back.”
Ning Zhe and Chu Xiao cleared up the misunderstanding, and their attitudes took a 180-degree turn. Chu Xiao was invited to the living room, and a high-grade Tie Guanyin was served to entertain him. Ning Zhe personally accompanied him to drink tea and chat.
"Xiao Gang, you said that the successor of the Taiyi Godly Needle has come to our clinic. Is that true? If you want to trick your grandfather into coming back, I'll have to teach you a lesson.”
Chu Xiao and Ning Zhe had just finished drinking tea when they heard a loud voice from outside.
The tightly shut wooden door was pushed open, and a ruddy old man wearing a silver Tang suit rushed in.
Chu Xiao knew that this person must be the Needle King, Ning Zhiyuan, and he quickly stood up.
"Grandpa." Ning Zhe called out respectfully.
The white-haired old man in the silver Tang suit nodded and stared at Chu Xiao. He then asked,""Xiao Fei, this is Chu Xiao, the one who defeated you with his medical skills. He is also the successor of the Taiyi Divine Needle.”
Grandpa, this is Chu Xiao." Xiaofei pointed at Chu Xiao and said in fear. He was afraid that his grandfather, Ning Zhiyuan, would blame him for losing the written test.
"Xiao Fei, I've told you countless times that there's always someone better. Do you understand now?”"But if you really lose to the Taiyi Divine Needle's successor, then it's not embarrassing."”
"Greetings, Elder Sun. You're in good spirits.”Chu Xiao quickly greeted Ning Zhiyuan.
Ning Zhiyuan shifted his gaze to Chu Xiao and carefully sized him up as if he was sizing up some rare treasure.
"You're Chu Xiao, who was introduced by Professor Tian Siyuan. Do you really know the Taiyi Godly Needle?”Ning Zhiyuan asked.
"Elder Ning, the Taiyi Divine Needle is divided into five needles. I only know the first two needles." Chu Xiao explained.
"It's rare, it's rare. Now that you mention it, I'm looking forward to exchanging medical skills with you.”Wang Xiushen said with a smile.
" I originally came here to seek medical advice from the old man. Please give me some guidance. This is a recommendation letter from my mentor, Professor Tian," Chu Xiao said with a smile. Hence, Chu Xiao handed the recommendation letter that Ning Zhe was unwilling to accept to the old man Ning Zhiyuan.
"Before I die, I can see the true face of the number one needle in the world and exchange my medical skills with you.”Ning Zhiyuan sighed.
"Senior, you're too kind." Chu Xiao felt a little embarrassed to be praised so highly.
"Chu Xiao, this old man is anxious to see your Taiyi Divine Needle. How about this? I will show you the Herb King Acupuncture Technique first, and then you can show me the Taiyi Godly Needle Technique.”Ning Zhiyuan suggested.
"Old man, thank you very much. I'm very lucky to be able to see you demonstrate the Medicine King Acupuncture Technique.”Chu Xiao nodded and said. He did not expect Ning Zhiyuan to not hide anything at all. One had to know that in the medical world, many people would hide their medical skills when teaching their disciples. This unique skill could not be easily demonstrated to others unless it was their own successor.
"Chinese medicine has already reached the point of life and death. If everyone is still hiding it, how can Chinese medicine flourish? Xiao Fei, you have to remember this in the future. If you want to become a true medical expert, you have to integrate hundreds of schools and take their strengths.”
When Chu Xiao and Ning Zhe heard Ning Zhiyuan's words, their hearts were moved. That's right, if everyone were to pass down their medical skills to future generations without holding back like the old man, then Chinese medicine would be able to flourish.
Ning Zhiyuan said to Ning Zhe," Xiao Fei, prepare the silver needles for me. I'll show Chu Xiao the Sun family's ultimate technique, the Medicine King Acupuncture Technique."”
"Grandfather, the silver needles are ready.”Ning Zhe knew what his grandfather was going to do, so he said passionately. His grandfather's words had pierced deeply into his heart. Now, what his grandfather was doing could ignite the passion in his body, making it difficult for him to calm down for a long time.
Although Chu Xiao did not know how Ning Zhiyuan's Godly Needles of the Medicine King were used, he had heard from his grandfather that the highest level of the Godly Needles of the Medicine King required specially made silver needles that were at most one foot and two inches long.
Ning Zhiyuan opened the needle box and took out the longest needle inside.
