Chapter Eighteen: Mommy Saves Me

  "I'm short of a few herbs, I need fresh ones. I heard that the White Hall Master has a field of herbs here, and I was thinking of borrowing some from the White Hall Master." Murong Zi said calmly, she couldn't make excessive demands, but as long as she knew the location of his herb garden, it would be enough.

  "It's just a small token." Bai Shao smiled and said, borrowing but not returning, anyway there was no precious medicine.

  "Then let Bai Tang host propose a topic!" She didn't want to waste time here.

  "Let's have a competition in acupuncture." He was most skilled at acupuncture, and even if this little girl could understand diagnosis, she would absolutely not be able to beat him at acupuncture.

  "Acupuncture is just acupuncture." Murong Zi's pale purple eyes flashed with a hint of mockery, this old fellow still dared to compare his skills with hers.

  Finally, Bai Tangzhai brought in a few patients with the same illness, and the trial began.

  Bai Shao asked a patient who had been selected, "Where are you uncomfortable?"

  "Rheumatism." The old man replied.

  "Lie down, I'll give you an injection." A triumphant smile played on the corner of his mouth as he wanted to show off his skills to that little girl.

  Bai Zong took out seven needles from the needle tube, disinfected them with alcohol, and then inserted them into the skin at intervals of less than thirty seconds, rotating slowly in a regular pattern.

  The old man on the bed seemed to have no feeling at all, just like he was lying in bed as usual.

  Murong Zi looked at Bai Shao's needle technique and stroked his chin, saying: "Seven Star Needle Technique..." This is a moderately difficult needle technique that requires some skill to use proficiently. The fact that Bai Shao can use it so smoothly shows that he has some ability.

  Unfortunately, it was Murong Zi he liked.

  The doctor from Baicao Hall on the side sneered and said, "Little girl, now you know how powerful our hall master is. But it's too late for regrets now. You can only wait to lose your family's treasure!" That thing, a little girl definitely doesn't have it, probably it's secretly hidden at home.

  The acupuncture treatment took a bit long, and the patient was almost comfortable enough to fall asleep, but Baiyao looked somewhat impatient, if it weren't for Shen Nong's collection, why would he bother treating this kind of person.

  Murong Zi looked at Bai Miao's expression, the most important thing for a doctor is to be meticulous, with the calmness of Taishan jumping on top without changing his face, and this Bai Miao was so old, yet still made such a mistake.

  Time slowly passed, and Bai Miao's forehead had already begun to sweat slightly. She withdrew the silver needle, then used alcohol to eliminate the poison before putting it back into the needle tube. The sitting hall's dog-legged attendant handed over a towel, saying: "Master, you've worked hard."

  The old man also stood up excitedly, feeling much better in his body, and excitedly said to Bai Miao: "Thank you, Master Bai, the illness that has been troubling me for so long is finally gone."

  "Little girl, it's your turn now, but it's too late to admit defeat. You'd better work hard yourself!" Bai Mian said with a benevolent smile on her face, but her eyes couldn't hide her complacency.

  Murong Ziyu said coldly: "I want to return the sentence in between to you, now it's too late for Bai Tang to regret."

  Baizhou smiled and said: "Little girl, you're quite bold, but that also requires real skills."

  "Of course, but lend me a box of silver needles."

  "What? You don't have a silver needle." How dare you come and compete with the master without even having a silver needle, clearly an amateur.

  "Why should I come to your Baicao Hall to buy silver needles when I already have them?" Murong Zi asked calmly.

  Bai Zhan's face turned slightly pale, but she still pretended to be calm and handed a box of silver needles to Murong Zi.

  Murong Zi casually chose a patient, originally not wanting such a young person to be treated, but seeing Murong Zi's icy gaze, all the unwilling words were swallowed back.

  When the patient lay down and took off his clothes, Murong Zi Lian didn't even look at him before throwing out nine silver needles with a speed so fast that it only left behind a residual shadow in everyone's eyes. Although Murong Zi Lian hadn't cultivated ancient martial arts now, the medicinal power from cultivating the Supreme Medicine Classic was enough for her to perform such simple moves.

  Such a beautiful move made everyone feel like they were holding their breath, and a burst of sighs.

  Murong Zi wholeheartedly administered the acupuncture, then injected her inner energy. Although the energy couldn't kill anyone, it was absolutely a lifesaving treasure. In less than a minute, Murong Zi pulled out the needle and raised an eyebrow to look at Bai Zhan: "Bai Dangzhu, do you admit defeat?"

  "What's the use of having a beautiful needle and being fast if you can't cure the illness?" Bai Miao said.

  Murong Zi gazed at the patient and asked: "Are you better now?"

  That man was still in a daze, then got up excitedly and said: "Alright, alright, thank you miss."

  "No, thank you, doctor."

  "I don't believe it, you guys are absolutely a great match." Bai Zao completely didn't believe that a little girl's medical skills could be so high.

  "So many people are watching, and there's a patient to prove it. Anyway, I've won, hand over the goods and take me to the medicine field! I don't have much time to waste on you." Murong Zi said with an icy face, she had never seen anyone so shameless, losing but not admitting it, she didn't believe he couldn't see that her acupuncture skills were far superior to his.

  Bai Mian's face turned pale and then red again, she slammed her hand on the table and shouted: "Catch this pesky little girl for me!"

  Murong Zi sneered, "The Baicao Tang's skills are not as good as people think, I've seen it for myself today."

  "But you're sure you want to catch me." A figure flashed, a silver needle aimed at his vital spot.

  Baizhou felt a chill run down his back and his body trembled slightly as he said, "What is it that you want?"

  "My demands are not many, as long as you fulfill your promise, that's enough." Murong Zi said lightly.

  "Alright, I'll get it for you," said Bai Zhi. "I'll bring over that treasured set from the hidden compartment."

  Yin Zhen handed over, then Bai Miao trembled and said: "Go drive, send Xiao Shenyi to the medicine field."

  Murong Zi put the silver needle into her own bag, then picked up the box of silver needles she had used before. "I'll take this too, so I won't be unarmed when White Hall Master tries to welch on his promise."

  The medicinal field of Baicao Hall was in the suburbs of Chen City. Murong Zi glanced at the medicinal materials in the field, which were all very ordinary. Suddenly, he saw a door on the wall covered with rattan vines, and his mouth curled up with a cold smile. He actually came to this trick again.

  She casually picked a few herbs and then had Bai Mian send her to the city.

  As I walked to the mall, I saw a group of rowdy teenagers surrounding a little kid in a corner, frowning slightly. Suddenly, a small figure rushed over and a sweet voice cried out, "Mommy, save me!"

  Digression

  Xiao Zi Mian has made her debut.
