Water flowed like a thin thread, slowly descending. It cleverly passed through the eye of a needle and fell into another empty cup.
"Water through a needle hole. It really is water through a needle hole. Amazing." Wu Ling watched very closely through the magnifying glass. Zhu Yanyi did it by feel. She even closed her eyes. Of course, how could one see such a tiny needle eye with naked eyes?
After pouring the water, Zhu Yanyi put down the cup and looked at Wu Ling. "See? It works."
The surprise in Wu Ling’s eyes had not faded. She looked at Zhu Yanyi for a long time before speaking slowly. "Little Divine Doctor, is this skill really just about practice?"
"Chen Kangsu was good at archery, unmatched in his time. He was proud of it. Once, he shot arrows in his garden. An oil seller put down his load and watched him. He saw Chen hit eight or nine out of ten shots, but only nodded slightly.
Chen asked, 'Do you know archery? Is my shooting not precise?' The old man said, 'Nothing special, just hand familiarity.' Chen was angry and said, 'How dare you轻视 my shooting!' The old man said, 'I know from pouring oil.' He took a gourd, placed it on the ground, covered the mouth with a coin, and slowly poured oil with a ladle. The oil went through the coin hole, but the coin did not get wet. He said, 'I also have nothing special, just hand familiarity.' Chen laughed and sent him away.
Is this different from what Zhuangzi said about carving oxen and chopping wheels?"
Zhu Yanyi recited The Oil Seller and then continued. "I said it before. It is only about practice. The oil seller’s oil through the coin is the same principle as my water through the needle."
Wu Ling nodded. "I will go back and train."
Zhu Yanyi smiled and nodded. "Take your time. Do not worry. Actually, we do similar training every day. For example, pouring water from a kettle into a thermos without spilling a drop. It is the same principle."
"Since you say so, it does seem simpler," Yao Lao laughed. "I will go back and try too. But I am old. Even if I try, it will probably be just so-so. The rest depends on you children."
"This is why I choose to train children from a young age. Using fun games to teach them. If they do not succeed in one year, then two. If not in two, then three. One day, they will succeed," Zhu Yanyi said seriously. "Actually, children’s sensitivity is more precise than ours. As long as we help them stabilize this sensitivity, it will be very helpful for them to learn surgical knowledge when they become doctors."
Yao Lao laughed upon hearing this. "I find that this girl never stops talking about students."
"Sigh, running a school requires worrying about everything. Now I worry about student enrollment. And I stick to our principles. So I have to say 'students' several times a day. You don’t know, I dream about recruiting students every night," Zhu Yanyi said, looking helpless. This made Yao Lao and others laugh heartily.
The next day, Zhu Yanyi performed surgery on the child with uneven legs. Watching Zhu Yanyi skillfully join the bones to the same length, the people present once again acknowledged her medical skills. Of course, compared to previous surgeries, this one was simpler. As long as they could refine the material to supplement the leg, they could also perform this surgery.
"The biggest feature of this leg connector is that besides the bone simulation, these simulated meats slowly merge with the real flesh. That means, when the real flesh grows, the simulated meat will slowly dissolve and become part of the body. Because the material used is a special sea creature mud, it contains large amounts of vitamins, proteins, and amino acids. It is very good for the body. Do not worry that these things will harm the body," Zhu Yanyi said seriously. "I named this mud 'Regenerative Human Mud'. This mud is not rare in the sea, but as you know, diving into the sea is very dangerous. The sea has countless crises. This is why this mud is scarce."
Yao Lao said, "So, if someone can harvest this mud, it is very rare."
"Treasures of the sea are hard to find. Although there is much in the sea, no one can directly face the crises of the sea. Before we have mature sea exploration machines, I do not suggest people go to the sea to find this," Zhu Yanyi said seriously. "Not everyone is as strong as my fiancé, Aohan."
"Can you stop praising your fiancé?" Gu Jingtian interrupted. she could not understand why her junior sister would praise her fiancé whenever something happened.
"This is called love," Zhu Yanyi made a face and continued. "Also, if these materials are ready, you must prepare ice water first when refining. The refining part must be precise. There can be no deviation, otherwise it will cause greater harm to the human body."
Zhu Yanyi did not hide these skills. She even wrote down how to refine human parts, copied them, and gave one to everyone present, letting them study on their own.
What Zhu Yanyi did was different from what they did. Zhu Yanyi could only try to pass on her experience to help them avoid wrong paths. The rest depended on their comprehension.
Wu Ling sighed. "After watching your surgeries these days, my only feeling is that I am too weak."
Gu Jun said, "If we can make the parts the human body needs with this, can we make hearts, livers, gallbladders, spleens, and stomachs?"
Zhu Yanyi nodded slightly. "Yes, of course. They are also part of the human body."
After speaking, Zhu Yanyi thought of Zhan Diting, the man who was alive with only half her internal organs. Her eyes lit up. So that was it. She had always thought her medical skills were not enough. Now she realized it was because her organ refining technology was not mature enough then. Now it was different. Because her internal energy reached the Lin Dan stage, she did not need to worry about not being able to refine these.
She smiled. She knew how to treat Zhan Diting.
Seeing Zhu Yanyi smile for no apparent reason, the others looked at each other. Gu Jingtian even waved her hand in front of her. "Junior Sister, are you okay?"
"I am fine. I just thought of something very important." Then she said to Gu Jingtian, "Alright, you go study on your own now. I am leaving. I will start surgery on the four blind children the day after tomorrow. Blind children are slower, so one per day, four in four days."
"Okay, I will arrange the relevant surgical matters," Gu Jingtian said. She knew what Zhu Yanyi meant. She still needed to handle the preliminary preparations.
