Zhu Yanyi handed the medicine to the village chief. She added the herbal guide, then passed the bowl to her. The chief drank it without a word. Zhu Yanyi took out her gold needles and began acupuncture. Her main goal was to drive out the trace of inherited witch qi from her body. This qi would exit through red rashes.
Once the rashes appeared, Zhu Yanyi took out a medicinal paste and gently applied it. "I will apply this paste for you today. Starting tomorrow, you can apply it yourselves, or have someone else do it," she said. After finishing the application, she added, "The paste will make you feel a slight warmth. This is normal. It means the medicine is working, so do not worry."
"Alright, next person," she said.
Zhu Yanyi first diagnosed those who already had red rashes. Based on their conditions, she performed acupuncture and applied medicine. Her speed was very fast. Cole, watching from the side, felt shocked.
She had always known that China had acupuncture. But seeing it today, she was startled. Those gold needles pierced into human bodies so easily. What surprised her more was that these people did not cry out in pain. She secretly asked a person who had already been treated, "Does the needle not hurt?"
"No pain," the man smiled. "Traditional Chinese acupuncture does not hurt because it targets specific acupoints on the body."
Cole was slightly stunned. He had seen charts of Chinese acupoints. In his mind, these were just parts of the human body. He found it strange that people could be pierced like this without feeling pain.
She looked at Zhu Yanyi, who was working nearby. Her movements were smooth and skilled, showing her deep understanding of Chinese medicine. This made her even more curious about it.
At this moment, a thought occurred to him. If his country also had Chinese medicine, would their medical level improve? However, this was just a thought. It was unlikely to happen, as his country always trusted Western medicine.
Zhu Yanyi worked from her arrival until ten o'clock at night. She diagnosed and treated all over one hundred people. During this time, she did not even have time to drink water. The village chief watched her, her eyes shining with admiration.
"Chief, that is all for today. I will come again tomorrow," Zhu Yanyi said seriously.
"Miss Zhu, tomorrow I will lead the villagers to your medical point to find you. This way, you will not have to travel back and forth so hard," the chief suggested.
"Yes, yes," the villagers agreed. Knowing their illnesses could be cured, they were very happy. They also saw how hard Zhu Yanyi worked, so they supported the chief's idea.
Zhu Yanyi thought for a moment and agreed. "That is good too. I save the trouble of bringing so much medicine here. Come yourselves tomorrow. I will prepare the herbs for you, and you can go home to boil and drink them."
"Okay," the chief and others agreed.
Zhu Yanyi and her group said their goodbyes and left. Back at the rest area, Zhu Yanyi washed up. It was nearly twelve o'clock when she rested. She was glad she had internal energy. Although she had worked hard all day, she did not feel too tired. So, she decided to enter the Ruyi Space.
Zhu Yanyi first went to check the mother Nine-Leaf One-Pulse Flower and the Seven-Orifice Charm Yang Grass she was cultivating in the space. In the space, they were growing very well.
