Mulin glared at him, stroked his beard and scoffed, "If you want to talk about a way, I do have one."
Chu Li glanced at him suspiciously, then turned his head away.
Mulin stared at him and shouted, "Why, you don't believe me?"
Chu Li said lazily, "I know you're not confident. Elder Mulin, if you don't dare to use it, what's the point of listening?"
"Bullsh * t!" Mulin scoffed, "Why wouldn't I dare to use it?"
Chu Li smiled, "Tell me about it."
Mulin scoffed, "Have you heard of the Nine Transformation Meridian Reforming Technique?"
Chu Li shook his head, "Never heard of it."
"You don't know medicine, of course you haven't heard of it!" Mulin squinted at him, his face full of disdain.
"Elder Mulin, although I've never learned medicine, I have some understanding of it."
"You know medicine?"
"I've read a lot of medical books and memorized some of it."
"Then let me ask you, what's with the flood pulse?"
"Heat."
"Fine pulse?"
"Yin deficiency, blood deficiency."
"You know a little. Flood pulse and multiple pulses appear at the same time?"
"High heat."
"You have some ability to talk on paper." Mulin's expression relaxed and he stroked his beard, "Looks like you like medicine too."
Chu Li smiled and nodded.
Of course, he would not say that he learned medicine to learn martial arts. At that time, in order to speed up his foundation building, he thought of all kinds of methods. He wanted to solve it through medical skills and memorized all the medical skills he had seen. In the end, he still relied on the Life and Death Scripture.
"The Nine Transformation Meridian Reforming Technique is not an ordinary acupuncture technique." Mulin sighed, "It's a magical acupuncture technique that can change heaven and earth!"
"Changing heaven and earth …" Chu Li pondered, "Could it be a cleansing of the marrow, changing the tendons and bones?"
"Well … it's about the same." Mulin stroked his beard and nodded. He said uncomfortably, "But the most important thing is the meridian, the tendons and bones …"
"I understand, the meridian reforming technique." Chu Li smiled and nodded, "It's specifically for foundation building, right?"
"That's right!" Mulin said slowly, "Think about it. Other people need ten years to build their foundation, but this acupuncture technique only needs a few days or even half a day. It's so magical!"
Chu Li was surprised, "In such a short time?"
Mulin stroked his beard and nodded proudly.
"That's impossible, right?" Chu Li muttered. "If it's really that amazing, why haven't I heard of it before?"
"Cough cough!" Mulin coughed twice and said helplessly, "This set of acupuncture techniques is too dangerous. It's either life or death. Building one's foundation is not about risking one's life. There's no need to take such a big risk. Of course, no one uses it."
"Those who missed out on Foundation Establishment should dare, right?"
"Who would miss out on Foundation Establishment?" Mulin looked at him strangely. "Foundation Building Heart Cultivation Methods are everywhere on the streets. You can just pick any one of them. Even the poorest people will be able to practice it, unless they are not suited for martial arts."
Chu Li came to a realization and could not help but shake his head.
He missed out on building his foundation because he was in seclusion in the temple, studying the Scripture of the Great Wisdom Transcending Origin. He didn't have the heart to care about other things, so he didn't think about practicing martial arts.
In today's world, building one's foundation was like getting vaccinated in modern society. It was a necessary step and really wasn't a rare thing.
Mulin said, "This set of acupuncture is perfect for your current situation. But, it's too dangerous. I've been hesitating on whether to use it or not. I still think it's better not to say it."
"Where is the danger?"
"The acupuncture points must be identified accurately. There can't be a single mistake." Mulin shook his head. "You've read medical books before. You should know that everyone's acupuncture points are different. There are subtle differences. And the Nine Transformation Meridian Reforming Technique requires every acupuncture point to be accurate. Even the slightest mistake will be fatal!"
Chu Li pondered and nodded. He could see through the human body. Of course, he knew that everyone's acupuncture points were different, just like how everyone's height was different.
"Elder Mulin, can I learn this set of acupuncture techniques?"
"Why do you want to learn this?"
"I think this set of acupuncture techniques is amazing. I want to study it," Chu Li said. "I want to find out how it changes the meridians."
"It's fine if you learn it, but you're not allowed to use it," Mulin scoffed.
He couldn't give himself acupuncture, so he was not worried that Chu Li would mess around. He also wouldn't let others use it. It was no different from killing someone.
Chu Li was overjoyed. "Thank you, Elder Mulin!"
"Wait, I'll go get it for you." Mulin got off the carriage and quickly came back. He handed Chu Li a thin booklet with the words "Nine Transformation Meridian Reforming Technique" written on it.
Chu Li flipped through it. There were thirteen pages, one hundred and nine acupuncture points. The acupuncture technique for each acupuncture point had strict requirements. The needle depth, silver, gold, wood, turning, straight, deep and then shallow, or shallow and then deep, or soft and then deep, or soft and then deep, or soft and then deep.
Chu Li flipped through it again. He closed his eyes and thought about it. The pages were clearly imprinted in his mind.
He raised his head and looked at Mulin. He met his mocking gaze.
Chu Li smiled. "It's quite complicated."
"Now you know how powerful it is?" Mulin scoffed. "Do you think medical skills are that simple?"
"Has Elder Mulin used this set of acupuncture techniques before?"
"No!" Mulin shook his head. "I'm old. When I got this acupuncture technique, I was too old. My memory has deteriorated and I can't remember it. Moreover, it's too exhausting. I can't persist and it'll cost people their lives!"
Chu Li smiled. "How about I try?"
"You —?" Mulin laughed and shook his head. "Let's not talk about whether or not you can identify the acupuncture points. Let's talk about these acupuncture techniques. Do you know them?"
"Elder Mulin can teach me," Chu Li said.
Mulin scoffed heavily. "Do you think it's that easy to learn?"
"What's the harm in learning?"
"… Alright, I'll teach you. But I'll only teach you once. If you can't learn it, then forget it!"
"Thank you, Elder Mulin!"
Mulin angrily took out the box of needles and explained to Chu Li which were the long needles and which were the short needles. Then, he demonstrated how to use the needles in one go. After that, he passed one of the long needles to Chu Li.
Chu Li smiled and demonstrated again. There was no mistake in the acupuncture technique.
Mulin curled his lips. "Young man, you're not being honest. You've learned it before, haven't you?"
Chu Li shook his head.
Mulin scoffed. "Alright, even if you haven't learned it before, there's more!"
Then, he used the force-feeding method to explain to Chu Li all his insights and special techniques in using needles.
Chu Li repeated it word for word. This made Mulin understand that Chu Li had a photographic memory. He was as gifted as the Third Lady.
"Alright, young man Chu!" Mulin's eyes were shining. He laughed. "Learn medicine from me! Since your martial arts has been crippled, you can focus on medicine. You'll definitely become a miracle doctor! "
Chu Li smiled. "Can I use the Nine Transformation Meridian Reforming Technique?"
"If you practice well, it's possible." Mulin nodded. "But you can't use needles on yourself. You better give up!"
Chu Li had a photographic memory. He could clearly remember the acupuncture techniques for all one hundred and nine acupuncture points. This solved a big problem.
Chu Li said, "Elder Mulin, help me with the needles."
"Me —?" Mulin frowned. "I don't dare to mess around. My life will be in danger if I make a slight mistake!"
Chu Li smiled. "Let me identify the acupuncture points. I can still identify my own acupuncture points. I'll just use a pen to mark them!"
Mulin hesitated. "You can identify your own acupuncture points?"
A martial artist who had been practicing martial arts for a long time would have the ability to look inside. They would know their own acupuncture points. After practicing martial arts for a long time, they would be able to sense the acupuncture points on the meridians. However, it was difficult to identify the acupuncture points outside of the meridians. Mulin was an Innate Master. Of course, he knew this.
Chu Li said, "Elder Mulin, you don't know that I've been practicing meditation for more than ten years, right? I have a lot of experience in self-observation. "
"You can look inside?" Mulin asked.
Chu Li nodded slowly.
