Chapter 67 Pretty Easy
Caylie scratched her head and confessed, “This technique isn’t that hard to pick up. Actually, I pretty much learned everything after seeing you use it on Lincoln the other day.”
Duncan, Patrick, and Frederick were rendered speechless.
The challenge of mastering the Needle of Ninth Revival did not lie solely in the knowledge of acupoints. Everyone present was well–versed in traditional medicine and familiar with the locations of acupoints on the human b*dy. What made it difficult to master was the progressive layers involved in the technique.
To fully unlock the skill’s potential, one had to diligently practice the art of needle insertion over an extended period. It required time and consistent effort.
Duncan and the like were busy practicing, but Caylie had already learned the skill, claiming that it wasn’t difficult to master. They could barely believe their ears.
An idea occurred to Emrys as he told Caylie, “Caylie, I’ll show you another technique. See how much you can master.”
He swiftly found a synthetic cadaver and skillfully inserted seven needles into various acupoints, employing different techniques for each one.
Seeing that, Duncan shivered in excitement and blurted out, “Oh, it’s the Seven Stings from Hell! I can’t believe it!”
Just like the Needle of Ninth Revival, the Seven Stings from Hell was a skill that had been lost
over time.
The Seven Stings from Hell technique involved using seven needles, while the Needle of Ninth Revival technique required twelve needles. Mastering the Seven Stings from Hell technique proved to be more challenging due to its ability to achieve an equivalent treatment effect with lesser needles.
Emrys‘ lips curled as he glanced at Duncan. “Mr. Rodriguez, you’re indeed knowledgeable.”
Flattered beyond words, Duncan gave him a polite bow and responded, “Master Lund, please feel free to call me by my name, Duncan, instead of addressing me as ‘Mr. Rodriguez“.”
“We’ve gotten to know each other well, so you don’t have to be reserved,” Emrys told him.
“No, that won’t do. Anyone who teaches me for a day deserves my respect and obedience for a lifetime. That’s my principle.”
“What a stubborn old man,” Emrys commented, shaking his head in exasperation.
“Master Lund, if you don’t mind my asking, how many similar techniques have you mastered?” Duncan inquired cautiously.

The Needle of Ninth Revival was shocking enough. Anyone who mastered this skill would be revered by many.
Duncan had no idea that his mentor had even mastered the Seven Stings from Hell.
Naturally, he could barely hide his excitement.
Emrys pondered over his question for a moment before answering. “Not too much. Around twenty to thirty techniques. I guess.”
Twenty to thirty techniques? How is that little? That’s crazy!
Duncan’s eyes nearly popped out in shock as he shot Emrys a weird look. He assumed Emrys was being arrogant.
In truth. Emrys wasn’t acting arrogant. Back then, the friar gave him a few boxes of acupuncture manuals. Mastering only twenty to thirty of them wasn’t considered a lot.
As they conversed, Caylie had already administered the first needle.
It might have been her first time, but she executed the technique flawlessly. Her angle, force, and depth were identical to Emrys.
Duncan would need three to five days to master that first move alone.
After the first needle, Caylie shut her eyes and paused, seemingly recalling Emrys‘ actions.
Emrys didn’t teach her move by move and only told her to replicate his actions after he finished administering seven needles. That proved to be a challenging task as she had to rely on her memory.
Around seven to eight minutes later, Caylie administered the second needle precisely.
She then shut her eyes to recall the third needle.
Duncan was gaping in shock. I can’t believe she made the second move!
What transpired next demonstrated that his surprise was premature.
Pausing after each insertion, Caylie inserted the first six needles accurately, but she made a slight mistake with the seventh needle.
After correcting her, Emrys asked, “Caylie, how do you remember so many acupuncture techniques?”
It had been over an hour since Emrys demonstrated the Seven Stings from Hell. Thus, it was surprising that Caylie could still remember the last few moves.

Caylie flashed a shy smile. “I don’t know. I can’t remember other things that well, but when it comes to acupuncture methods, I can slowly recall the details after watching it once.”
Emrys exclaimed, “Caylie, you’re a medical genius!”
No one would dare to call her a fool anymore!
In the end, Caylie only used two hours to master the Seven Stings from Hell completely.
Emrys felt a sense of shame creeping over him. “Caylie, you’re incredible! I must admit defeat. It took me an entire afternoon to grasp this acupuncture technique!”
Caylie modestly waved her hand. “Oh, no, not at all. I believe I still have a lot of room for improvement. I should strive harder.”
Duncan, Frederick, and the rest nearly coughed out blood in exasperation.
Are they both monsters? How could they say that? It would take us at least months to master this acupuncture technique, but Emrys mastered it within an afternoon and Caylie within two hours. Yet, despite their impressive progress, neither of them feels content. What about us, then?
Back at Verdant Estate, three gorgeous young ladies were enjoying themselves in the swimming pool.
Their fair skin, exposed to the air, glistened under the sunlight. They looked especially alluring drenched in water.
The ladies were none other than Cordelia, Caylie, and Yelena.
Previously, Caylie used to stay nearby Apricot Hall. With only three doctors rotating shifts, Caylie, being the owner, would always be present at the clinic to lend her assistance every single day
However, it was different now.
With the arrival of renowned doctors providing medical services at Apricot Hall, Caylie no longer had to worry about the facility’s operations. This allowed her to move back to Verdant Estate, where she could reunite with her friends and enjoy their company.
“Rys, why don’t you join us in the pool?”
Yelena swam to the edge of the pool and emerged from the water when Emrys wasn’t paying attention.
Her lips were curled into an alluring smile as she gazed at Emrys with sparkling eyes. She even licked her lips in an obvious seductive move.
Emrys stood at the edge of the pool, towering above her. He couldn’t deny that she was an
