Chapter 229: Becoming a Disciple
An Ji's eyes were filled with shock as he was completely immersed in Lin Chen's dazzling acupuncture technique, mechanically handing over the silver needles as per Lin Chen's instructions.
The bedroom was eerily quiet, everyone watching the scene before them in astonishment.
The Vice President of the World Medical Association actually serving as an assistant, handing over needles to a young man, would surely cause a sensation around the world if word got out.
"It must be, it must be that needle technique."
An Ji stared at Lin Chen, still focused on treating Elder Su, his face filled with shock and disbelief.
Finally, the last silver needle in Lin Chen's hand was placed, and Elder Su suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood.
"Drip!"
Almost simultaneously, on the monitoring device, the line representing the heart rate started to flutter back to life.
"How... is this possible!"
The nurse was dumbfounded, Su family members were dumbfounded, especially Dr. An Ji, whose eyes were filled with fervor.
Grandmaster, you didn't deceive me, the Resurrection Needle truly exists, I've actually witnessed the Resurrection Needle technique in my lifetime.
By chance, he had met an old taoist at a Taoist temple in China.
Following the old taoist in studying medicine for three years led to his medical skills and achievements.
But in a mysterious moment, the old taoist told him that in his youth he had seen a unique skill called the Resurrection Needle, which could bring the recently deceased back to life.
However, he only knew the approximate position of the needle, and after years of research, he failed to grasp its essence.
An Ji had never expected to witness the Resurrection Needle described by his Grandmaster here, and what shocked him even more was that the person administering the needle was a young man in his early twenties.
Lin Chen wiped the sweat from his forehead and said lightly, "Elder Su should be fine now, just needs some peaceful rest and recovery."
How could this be, Elder Su whose heart had stopped beating was actually revived by Lin Chen.
Just then, An Ji suddenly knelt on the floor, "Sir, please accept me as your disciple, I wish to follow you and learn medical skills."
Boom!
The bedroom fell silent once again, everyone was dumbstruck.
Su Wensheng and Su Yuan's mouths were agape, their eyes staring blankly at the scene before them.
Even Su Xiaobei couldn't believe it and covered her mouth with her hand, unable to accept what she was seeing.
How could this be!
Who is An Ji?
An Ji is a leading figure in the world of medicine, wielding an immeasurable influence in the global medical field, one might even say he embodies the pinnacle of world medicine.
Yet now, this revered medical authority, the vice-chair of the World Medical Association, was kneeling before a young man asking to be his student, a scenario too bizarre, too incredible to believe.
Especially for Su Yuan, who had just been insisting that Lin Chen was a fraud, mocking him incessantly, even wanting to throw Lin Chen out, his face now looked as hideous as if he were constipated.
How could this be, a young man under twenty, a freshman in college, how could he be so incredible, it's impossible, absolutely impossible.
"Dr. An Ji, aren't you mistaken, it must have been that you had already cured him, then he randomly placed a few needles and my grandfather just happened to wake up," Su Yuan said from the side.
"Shut up, show some respect to Mr. Lin," An Ji rebuked, his face flushed with anger.
"The technique Mr. Lin just used is the long-lost divine needles. Do you realize that his technique could revolutionize the entire world's medical concepts? If this technique were applied in the field of medicine, let me tell you, it could extend each of our lifespans by ten years."
"What?"
Upon hearing Dr. An Ji's words, everyone was stunned. Extending everyone's lifespan by ten years seemed impossible.
They could hardly grasp what Dr. An Ji's words meant; this would be a storm and revolution in the medical field.
However, Dr. An Ji continued fervently, "Mr. Lin Chen's technique is the fastest and most accurate I have ever seen. His mastery of acupuncture is unmatched throughout all of China; he is truly a Grandmaster of the medical field, and I am nothing but an apprentice in front of him."
Boom!
Dr. An Ji's words nearly shocked everyone present, and all faces bore expressions of astonishment.
Dr. An Ji, one of the most renowned in the world, was barely an apprentice before this young man—an utterly shocking revelation.
In that moment, everyone's view of Lin Chen shifted completely, their faces now alight with fervor and adoration.
If these words had come from anyone else, they might not have been believed, but coming from Dr. An Ji, a leading authority in world medicine, and given everyone had witnessed Lin Chen saving the life of the elderly Mr. Su today—
This scene sent Su Xiaobei's heart racing, her eyes locked intently on Lin Chen. She initially thought Lin Chen merely had some medical skills, but she had never imagined his mastery to be so profound.
No wonder he could cure her appendicitis with just a few slaps; no wonder he could make a little rabbit scamper around after a few massages.
This man was not only bold and shameless; his mysteriousness was truly unfathomable.
Lin Chen glanced at An Ji, kneeling on the ground, and shook his head, "I'm sorry, I can't accept you as an apprentice."
"Am I not qualified?" An Ji asked, his expression downcast.
Lin Cheng remained silent; he was busy. Medicine was only his sideline, and naturally, he would not spend too much time on it.
Dr. An Ji asking to be apprenticed, yet not being qualified enough, drew complicated looks from the Su family members toward Lin Chen.
But An Ji did not rise; he earnestly said, "Mr. Lin, I know I'm not qualified, but you must also realize the impact this technique could have if it were applied in medicine—it could benefit countless patients and bring great blessings to humanity."
Though An Ji's words were earnest, many scoffed at the idea. How could such exclusive techniques be entrusted to an outsider?
Unexpectedly to all, Lin Chen nodded, "I can teach you that technique, but you must expand upon it honorably, not for profit. Understand?"
"What? Has this guy gone mad? Such an incredible patent, and he's giving it away for free!"
"Really?" An Ji was excited like a child, setting a time with Lin Chen to discuss medical techniques.
At that moment, Su Wensheng was full of regret. According to Dr. An Ji, Lin Chen was indeed an exceptional sage; yet just moments before, he had joined his reckless son in ridiculing him. What a disaster.
"Su Yuan, apologize to Mr. Lin now," Su Wensheng demanded angrily.
"Even though he saved Grandpa, Grandpa hasn't woken up yet. Who knows if Grandpa will actually wake up," Su Yuan retorted, unconvinced.
Many shared the same doubt; with the elder Su still in a coma, who could say if he would truly awaken.
"Forget it, I acted on Su Xiaobei's behalf; whether he apologizes or not doesn't matter to me," Lin Chen said indifferently.
Just then, accompanied by a coughing fit, the elder Su actually woke up.
