413: Exchange for a special cancer treatment!

The second thing is about the specific method for treating cancer.

Su Yu had previously searched the system for methods to treat cancer after the Global Most Influential People Gala ended.

However, due to time constraints, he hadn't had a chance to examine them closely.

Now that he himself was suffering from cancer and in mortal danger, the most urgent task was to immediately find suitable skills in the system to exchange for.

"System, help me find technical options for resolving cancer!"

The system heard this and quickly began to act.

A moment later, several options appeared before his eyes.

There were four or five different techniques available for treating cancer. However, the reputation points required for each one were not to be underestimated.

The least expensive option still required 120,000 reputation points.

The more expensive ones required 170,000 to 180,000!

For Su Yu in the past, this would have been an astronomical figure.

But now, even if he exchanged for all several techniques at once, Su Yu would only feel a slight pang of regret, rather than being at a loss.

After careful screening, Su Yu finally focused his attention on the third option.

【Thirteen Needles of the Ghost Gate】

These simple five characters immediately caught his attention.

Compared to other various techniques, the Thirteen Needles of the Ghost Gate were not high-tech modern science; instead, they sounded more like a treasure left behind by China's traditional culture.

This was completely different from what Su Yu had seen in the system before; it seemed somewhat out of place.

This was the first time Su Yu had seen such a technique in the system.

Thirteen Needles of the Ghost Gate?

Why does it sound like a legendary medical skill from wuxia novels?

Fixing his gaze on the introduction to the Thirteen Needles of the Ghost Gate, the expression on Su Yu's face gradually changed from initial confusion to astonishment.

No!

This truly was a miraculous medical skill inherited from ancient China!

Su Yu's jaw dropped and remained open for a long time.

In China's history, many prodigious medical talents have appeared. Li Shizhen, Zhang Zhongjing, Hua Tuo, Bian Que, Sun Simiao... these individuals once worked together to build the exclusive Hall of Chinese Medicine for China.

Each of these individuals could be considered a cornerstone of China's medical community.

Among them, some left behind famous medical texts that have been passed down to this day; some invented anesthesia and performed the first surgery. Others were proficient in pharmacology, making significant contributions to encyclopedias of herbal medicine.

Of course, in all fields of medicine, there is also a unique medical skill exclusive to China that is unparalleled globally—Acupuncture!

That's right!

Looking at the entire world, besides China, no other country has records of research on Acupuncture technology.

According to records, Acupuncture originated in the Neolithic Age.

Primitive people were accidentally stabbed or bruised in a certain part of their body during labor and combat. As a result, some existing painful diseases were unexpectedly relieved.

Later, people gradually invented the unique Acupuncture therapy exclusive to China through practice!

By utilizing the effects of meridians and acupoints, combined with some unique techniques, needles are inserted to treat illnesses.

It gradually evolved later, and a unique set of exclusive techniques emerged.

This technique has been passed down for over several millennia!

Over these thousands of years, Acupuncture has continuously developed and become known to more and more people. It has shown unexpected effects in treating some intractable diseases.

However, in recent years, with the rapid progress and development of technology, the modernization of medicine, the rise of Western medicine, and the decline of Traditional Chinese Medicine have caused this miraculous medical skill to gradually wane.

The true inheritance is almost on the verge of being broken!

Although there are many doctors who understand this medical skill now, truly traditional physicians with profound Acupuncture skills are becoming increasingly rare.

So much so that everyone has almost forgotten that China still has such a miraculous medical skill.

Thirteen Needles of the Ghost Gate.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this is an incredibly miraculous medical skill!

Among older generations of physicians, it has always been said: "Thirteen Needles of the Ghost Gate, each needle reaches the underworld!"

"The first needle enters the Ghost Palace through Renzhong. The second needle sends a Ghost Message through Shaoshang. The third needle sees the Ghost Mound through Yinbai..." Anyone who can perform this Acupuncture technique is a top medical genius of their time!

Moreover, before applying the needles, there are also some peculiar incantations.

For example, "Heaven is round, Earth is square, laws are nine chapters. I now insert the needle, all ghosts extinguish their light. Open the heaven's gate, seal the ghost's path, leave the human's gate, close the ghost's way," and so on.

It is rumored that the practitioner must possess a body of merit to successfully perform it. And before applying the needles, a protective talisman must be worn to prevent "backlash."

Especially several acupoints need to be particularly careful when needling to avoid unexpected situations.

This is also why the Thirteen Needles of the Ghost Gate can only be inserted a maximum of twelve times, and the last needle must never be easily inserted.

In external rumors, this mysterious Acupuncture medical skill primarily targets madness, hysteria, and people with mental problems.

But in reality, that is not the case.

The Thirteen Needles of the Ghost Gate got their name because they can pull a dying person back from the gates of hell.

This is a medical skill that can truly reverse death and bring life!

Cancer, as a modern disease with an extremely high mortality rate, is also completely within the scope of this set of needle techniques.

Su Yu made a decision in his heart.

This was the first time such a legendary and fantastical technique appeared in the system, and he had to learn it no matter what.

Even if it wasn't for treating cancer, just to verify the miraculous nature of this medical skill, Su Yu felt that spending these tens of thousands of reputation points was worthwhile.

【Host, are you sure you want to exchange for the Acupuncture medical skill, Thirteen Needles of the Ghost Gate? Yes/No】

Su Yu chose 'Yes' without hesitation.

【Congratulations, Host, successful exchange!】

The system's voice rang out, and at the same time, a series of knowledge about Acupuncture appeared in Su Yu's mind.

First, the locations of various acupoints and meridians appeared one by one. Then came the distinctions between silver needles, precautions for needling, and a profound and mysterious magical Acupuncture therapy.

Compared to other techniques he had exchanged for previously,

This was Su Yu's first time encountering the medical field, and he was very interested in all the knowledge.

Moreover, Acupuncture therapy was a technique completely reborn from modern medicine; this inheritance of ancient culture made Su Yu feel a peculiar sense of mission.

Although he had never performed Acupuncture before, he seemed to already perceive two completely different worlds.

He clearly saw the meridians in his body and located the acupoints.

The human body, which was previously incomprehensible, seemed to become transparent in his eyes; with just one glance, Su Yu could accurately locate all the places where qi twisted.

However, he was not in a hurry to immediately experiment on his own body.

After all, in a few days, he had an appointment with Vice President Zhong to meet other cancer patients, and he would have plenty of time to experiment then.
