Elder Jiang, being an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor, recognized immediately that Li Se was using the Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles!
"First needle, Guigong, located at Renzhong, inserted three fen; second needle, Guixin, at Shaoshang, inserted three fen; third needle, Guilei, at Yinbai, inserted two fen; fourth needle, Guixin, at Daling, inserted five fen; fifth needle, Guilu, at Shenmai, three points downwards; sixth needle, Guizhen, at Fengfu, inserted two fen; seventh needle, Guichuang, at Jiache, inserted five fen; eighth needle, Guishi, at Chenjiang, inserted three fen; ninth needle, Guiku, at Laogong, inserted two fen; tenth needle, Guitang, at Shangxing, inserted two fen; eleventh needle, Guicang, at Huiyin, inserted three fen; twelfth needle, Guichen, at Quchi, inserted five fen; thirteenth needle, Guifeng, in the middle furrow of the tongue, causing bleeding, then horizontally placing a needle, closing the lips on both sides, so the tongue does not move!"
"Thirteen needles, each needle so precise!"
Elder Jiang was stunned.
The key was the speed of needle insertion, which was not ordinary. He truly did not expect someone so young to possess such medical skills.
"Elder Jiang, what is the Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles?" the Old Madam asked with a frown.
"This is a profound acupuncture technique in traditional Chinese medicine, no less than my Taiyi Divine Needles," Elder Jiang said. Although he had harbored some resentment towards Li Se earlier, it had completely dissipated. To have learned the Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles at such a young age, it was not strange that he would question himself. This medical skill was definitely superior to his own.
The Guo family members were all astonished. Li Se, at such a young age, had medical skills comparable to Elder Jiang, the foremost divine doctor in Tiancheng?
After answering the Old Madam's question, Elder Jiang walked up to Li Se, his attitude and tone becoming more respectful. He asked, "Young friend, what do I call you?"
"Li Se!"
"Can your Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles heal him?" Li Se had performed the Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles, but Elder Jiang observed Guo Laoyezi and saw no reaction.
"As a doctor, you should have checked. Guo Laoyezi has only a short time to live. My thirteen needles can control his life. If you don't believe me, you can check!" Li Se said calmly.
Elder Jiang's expression changed. Of course, he knew Guo Laoyezi did not have long to live, but that was something he had discovered after a long examination. Yet, Li Se seemed not to have examined Guo Laoyezi yet?
He could tell just by looking a few times?
"You're talking nonsense!" Guo Fufu angrily rebuked. "My grandfather is only in a vegetative state, how could he have only a short time to live? Don't spout nonsense if you don't understand. Don't think you're so great just because you can insert silver needles. What thirteen needles, how can they be compared to Elder Jiang's Taiyi Divine Needles?"
The entire Guo family nodded in agreement.
The Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles sounded impressive, but in their eyes, just by the name, the Taiyi Divine Needles seemed more powerful. Moreover, after Li Se inserted his thirteen needles, Guo Laoyezi showed no reaction whatsoever.
They were not doctors, so they couldn't possibly check. Therefore, they would believe what their own eyes saw.
Li Se couldn't be bothered to deal with the Guo family members. He grabbed Jiang Ranran and was about to leave.
"Did I let you go?" the Old Madam said, striking her cane horizontally again. "You can leave after Elder Jiang has finished his examination."
Elder Jiang began to examine Guo Laoyezi's body. Upon examination, his spirit was greatly lifted. He said, "Li Xiaoyou is correct. Guo Laoyezi indeed has only a short time to live. I originally thought that by performing the Taiyi Divine Needles, I could help Guo Laoyezi recover, but it is clearly not possible. Li Xiaoyou's medical skills are extraordinary. With just thirteen needles, he has already saved Guo Laoyezi's life!"
At these words.
The entire Guo family was shocked.
This young man's medical skills were so formidable that even Elder Jiang praised them. It was no wonder they were shocked. To possess such medical skills at such a young age, and in traditional Chinese medicine at that, would shock people anywhere.
"Can we go now?" Li Se looked at the Old Madam. He had saved Guo Laoyezi's life, but it was only temporary, and that was for Jiang Ranran's sake.
After confirming Guo Laoyezi's condition, the Old Madam said calmly, "You can go, but before you leave, you must cure Ranran's maternal grandfather."
In fact, she was also very surprised. Li Se's medical skills seemed very impressive. Since he could save her husband's life, she believed that waking her husband should not be a problem.
"Sure, if you want him treated, I can do it, but marry Ranran to me, and prepare a consultation fee of ten million," Li Se directly stated two demands.
The Guo family members' expressions changed again.
Their Guo family intended to marry Jiang Ranran to Bai Shaotian. This way, the Guo family and the Bai family would form an alliance, allowing the Guo family, which was already struggling to survive, to be revived.
However, the two demands Li Se made now were undoubtedly a death knell for the Guo family.
"Li Se, you're going too far!" It was Guo Caijun, Jiang Ranran's cousin, who spoke. He pointed at Li Se's nose and cursed, "If you're talking about marrying Ranran, we can consider it, but it still needs to be through fair competition. As for the ten million, you're truly asking for the moon! Even imperial physicians don't charge such high fees, do they?"
Even Elder Jiang was shocked by Li Se's consultation fee. As the foremost divine doctor in Tiancheng, the highest consultation fee he had ever received was only five hundred thousand.
"It seems you're afraid of being poor to demand such a high consultation fee."
"Heh, you think our Guo family's money is easy to earn?"
"Young people nowadays don't stay grounded and only think about getting rich overnight?"
"..."
The Guo family members sneered and taunted him.
The Old Madam frowned, then looked at Jiang Ranran and said, "Ranran, is this your idea too? Such a huge appetite?"
"Grandmother, Li Se is a doctor. Since you're asking him to treat the illness, he has the right to set his price," Jiang Ranran said calmly. Naturally, she hoped her grandfather would recover, but the Guo family members were too excessive. Even the Old Madam's tone and attitude when asking Li Se to treat her grandfather were no different from giving an order.
Therefore, she stood on Li Se's side.
"Very good, very good, very good!" The Old Madam said "good" three times in a row. "Your wings have hardened, and you all want to fly, don't you?"
"Old Madam, I think the consultation fee can be discussed, but I don't think agreeing to marry Ranran to him is acceptable," Bai Shaotian said at this moment.
Guo Fufu said, "Young Master Bai, this ten million consultation fee is still a bit high."
It wasn't just Guo Fufu who thought this way; the entire Guo family felt the same. If they really agreed to Li Se's terms, the Guo family would only decline from then on.
Trading the future of the Guo family for the awakening of an old man was not worth it.
At least, that's what everyone in the Guo family thought.
Li Se glanced at these people, his expression indifferent, and said nothing more. He pulled Jiang Ranran and left directly.
"Come back here!"
The Old Madam shouted angrily.
But there was no response.
"Too presumptuous!" Guo Fufu angrily rebuked.
"Elder Jiang, can you cure him?" the Old Madam looked at Elder Jiang. Although this Li Se had some medical skills, she didn't believe that only Li Se could cure him.
Elder Jiang's medical skills were also not bad.
After a moment of silence, Elder Jiang said, "Old Madam, if Li Xiaoyou could be invited to treat him, that would be best. Since he knows the Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles, and you saw his needle insertion technique just now, that is called 'Qi Fei Zhen' in the Chinese medicine world. Those who know this needle insertion technique are likely of imperial physician level. I believe that with his medical skills, he can definitely make Guo Laoyezi wake up."
Hearing Elder Jiang's words, the entire Guo family fell silent.
The Old Madam exclaimed, "We must make this son of a bitch come back to treat him!"
Elder Jiang, standing by, raised an eyebrow. To be honest, these Guo family members were a bit too much.
With Li Se's medical skills, instead of trying to build a good relationship, they acted high and mighty, even ordering him to treat the patient. If he were Li Se, he would have walked away with a flick of his sleeve.
Elder Jiang wanted to say something, but in the end, he just sighed and said nothing.
