The insertion of the needles stopped the twitching and foaming at the mouth of several people.
Everyone present was stunned and repeatedly praised.
"As expected of Divine Doctor Wang, his acupuncture technique is truly divine!"
"Indeed, such powerful acupuncture is probably only achievable by Divine Doctor Wang. Fortunately, he intervened in time, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable."
The colleagues present gave Wang Dexi a thumbs-up.
However, Li Yang shook his head and said, "While this Doctor Wang's acupuncture is superb, these people's illnesses are by no means curable with this alone."
"At most, in two minutes, their symptoms will return, and the condition will be even worse than before."
"Shut up!"
Wang Dexi's expression suddenly turned angry. He turned his head and stared coldly at Li Yang, saying, "You're talking nonsense. You dare to question my medical skills at such a young age!"
"When I was using needles to save people, you were still wearing split pants."
"Mr. Li, please stop talking. This Divine Doctor Wang's medical skills are universally recognized as powerful. Why are you still being so pessimistic?" Liu Changshan couldn't help but step forward to persuade him.
Li Yang shrugged, indicating he didn't care, as their lives didn't concern him much anyway.
Next, he continued to watch Wang Dexi administer more needles to them.
Wang Dexi then inserted four or five more needles into them. After the acupuncture was finished, Wang Dexi saw their complexions gradually improve. He stroked his beard and nodded, saying, "Alright, their illnesses have been cured and there will be no more problems."
"Divine doctor, truly a divine doctor!"
Liu Changshan was overjoyed and quickly turned to ask his subordinates to prepare the consultation fee for Wang Dexi.
Just as a subordinate was about to transfer the consultation fee to Wang Dexi, an archaeology team member who had fallen to the ground suddenly began to convulse again, continuously foaming at the mouth.
At this moment, everyone present was completely bewildered!
"What's going on? How could this happen?"
Liu Changshan was the first to show doubt. He hurriedly turned to Wang Dexi and asked, "Divine Doctor Wang, didn't you say they were already cured? Why have their symptoms returned?"
"This, this shouldn't be happening!"
Wang Dexi accepted the money first, then turned around to re-examine the person. He was surprised to find that the symptoms had indeed returned.
His acupuncture had no effect; instead, the symptoms were becoming more severe.
As he was examining the first person, the other two suddenly began to convulse and foam at the mouth as well.
Thus, all previous treatments were in vain.
Wang Dexi's expression turned panicked. He was clearly overwhelmed.
After re-examining them multiple times, he shook his head helplessly, stood up, and looked at Liu Changshan, saying, "Mr. Liu, these people's conditions are bizarre. They are strange illnesses that I have never encountered in my decades of practice."
"Their heart meridians are now extremely chaotic, and their pulse is weak. They likely won't live much longer. Take them down the mountain and prepare for their funerals."
"What did you say?"
Liu Changshan's face changed drastically. He stared at them with wide eyes, saying, "Didn't you just say you were confident you could cure their illnesses? Why are you giving up now?"
"Mr. Liu, that was then, and this is now. The severity of their conditions is unpredictable. Furthermore, their illness took a sudden turn. Even if an immortal descended, they wouldn't be able to help them."
"You keep saying it's unpredictable, but Mr. Li had already warned you that your acupuncture would cause their symptoms to return. I think you, this divine doctor, are just a charlatan seeking fame."
Murong Xue saw him preparing to leave after retracting his needles and immediately stepped forward to stop him, saying coldly, "You haven't cured them. How can you have the nerve to take the consultation fee?"
"That, that's the money I earned. What does it have to do with whether I cured the illness or not? I performed the treatment, so this money should be mine. Even if you're in law enforcement, you can't be unreasonable." Wang Dexi said, clutching his pocket.
"Hmph, I think you're clearly a fraud who came up the mountain to swindle people. Who knows how many people you've harmed normally. You'll come with me for a while. Someone, arrest him!"
Seeing his guilty expression, Murong Xue immediately ordered her subordinates.
Two security officers stepped forward, grabbed his shoulders simultaneously, and pinned him down.
He tried to resist, but being held by two young men, he couldn't move at all. He could only loudly cry out his injustice, "Captain, I'm being framed. You can't arrest me without reason."
"I am a doctor. What is wrong with me seeing patients and taking money? At most, I'll return the money to Mr. Liu. Please don't arrest me."
"You no longer have a chance to explain. That was your only chance to admit your mistake."
Murong Xue said coldly, then waved her hand, ordering people to arrest him and take him away.
Immediately after, Murong Xue looked at Liu Changshan and said, "Old Liu, what did I tell you? Li Yang understands medicine and can help save people, but you now..."
"It's all my fault. It's my mistake. I shouldn't have trusted that guy surnamed Wang. I delayed their treatment."
Liu Changshan slapped himself hard, then walked respectfully to Li Yang and pleaded, "Mr. Li, I was wrong just now. You must still have a way to save them, right? Please, no matter what, save them."
"As long as you are willing to save them, I, Liu Changshan, will do anything, even if it means losing my own life, I will do it willingly."
As he spoke, Liu Changshan was about to kneel before Li Yang.
Li Yang did not stop him. Instead, he said with a serious expression, "I can save them now, but even if they are saved, they will be permanently disabled."
"The people you should apologize to are not me, but your subordinates. It was your misjudgment that caused them to lose the chance to recover."
Then, Li Yang personally stepped forward, helped them up, and simultaneously circulated his internal energy, gradually channeling it into them one by one.
After a few minutes, their twitching and foaming at the mouth symptoms disappeared. Li Yang slowly withdrew his palms and then quickly pressed on several acupoints on their bodies.
After this series of actions, they simultaneously woke up from their unconsciousness, opened their eyes, and looked around, as if they had just had a dream.
The leader among them asked curiously, "Captain Liu, what happened to us? What just happened?"
"Old Xu, how do you feel? Is everything alright?"
Liu Changshan walked up to him in surprise, supporting his shoulders and asking.
"I feel perfectly fine. I remember, we seemed to have entered a tomb, and then we saw a strong green light in the tomb. Before we could dodge, the green light entered our bodies."
"After that, we lost consciousness." Xu Hongmao said as he recalled.
"What? Such a thing happened? What exactly is going on?" Liu Changshan asked with a deep expression.
