Chapter 87 Wudang Golden Needle Finger Technique
There are more than sixty documents in the medical folder, most of which are compiled to deal with injuries caused by boxing and martial arts competitions. They are also classified into different categories, including those for human limbs, torso, and internal injuries.
For example, this "Hidden Power Penetrating the Five Internal Organs Method" talks about using the dark power soft attack method to penetrate the special internal injury ointment little by little under the skin, accelerating the healing and recovery of the internal organs.
The article also mentions the so-called hidden force and soft attack, which is the four-force theory mentioned by Li Cun Yi, a martial arts master in the late Qing Dynasty: "There are four types of force: obvious hard, obvious soft, hidden hard, and dark soft." Once these four forces are combined into one, it is the so-called transforming force.
Unfortunately, although Chen Jue has practiced the dark power throughout his body, the dark power he can exert is still at the level of dark hardness, and he is unable to achieve dark softness.
Chen Jue's hidden power could rub iron to leave marks, crack stone, and break bones, but it could not achieve soft attack and inject internal injury ointment into the pores. This is an extremely delicate technique, and if you use it rashly on yourself, you will only hurt yourself.
"What a pity! I haven't reached that level yet!"
“If I hadn’t been injured and had practiced in the sea for a while, I would probably have been able to master the dark power and soft attack by advancing to the next level of Tai Chi stance.” Chen Jue felt a little depressed.
Taking advantage of the undercurrents during typhoon days, the proficiency of Tai Chi stances improved very quickly, almost improving by more than 400 points in just one dive.
The proficiency limit is 5,000 points. If you practice like this every morning and evening, you can reach a breakthrough level in Tai Chi stance in just one week.
If I had not been impulsive and hot-headed before, I would not have suffered such serious internal injuries and delayed my practice.
Besides, the typhoon has passed, and Chen Jue can no longer practice martial arts with the huge waves and undercurrents. Unless he can frequently chase the traces of the typhoon, perhaps he can maintain the previous training speed as if he had eaten a tenfold experience scroll!
Normally, even if Chen Jue was in good health, practicing martial arts under the sea would at most have an effect similar to opening a double experience scroll. He would be thankful if he could accumulate one or two hundred proficiency points a day.
"Could it be that I will have to fight against typhoons in the future?" Chen Jue thought so absurdly.
Fortunately, this article on internal injury treatment also comes with a recipe for a special internal injury ointment, which says that even if you cannot use the hidden power to softly attack the skin pores and penetrate the internal organs, you can try rubbing and applying it externally every day, which can also help treat internal injuries to the five internal organs.
However, the effect of external ointment is much worse than the effect of using dark power and soft attack, but it is better than nothing.
After downloading the prescription and copying it to his mobile phone, Chen Jue felt that the medicine prescribed by the emergency doctor was a little slow to take effect, so he closed the group chat. He was not in a hurry to learn new kung fu, but planned to go out and visit Ye Tongrentang in the county town first.
Since he had recovered a lot of his strength and walking was no longer a big obstacle, Chen Jue did not bother Uncle Yu and the others. Instead, he walked to the main road and hailed a taxi.
By this time the typhoon had passed, the county town had begun to operate normally, and even the weather had suddenly changed from cloudy to sunny.
When taking a taxi past some commercial districts, Chen Jue also found many branches of street trees that were broken and fallen by the strong wind. Sanitation workers and firefighters were busy cleaning them up. This situation is very common in typhoon weather.
When they arrived at Ye Tong Ren Tang, Chen Jue took out the formula of the unknown ointment and showed it to the clerk, asking him to prepare a prescription according to the formula.
"Handsome guy, where did you get this recipe? It contains ingredients such as ginseng, musk, and bezoar. If you want to use ordinary ones, we have them in our store. But if you want wild aged ginseng, we can't get it!" said a staff member of Ye Tongrentang.
"Then let's go with a normal one first!"
"Please help me calculate the price." Chen Jue already knew before he came that although the ointment formula mentioned that it would be best to use aged herbs, the efficacy would be reduced if ordinary herbs were used.
However, it is apparently unlikely that Ye Tongrentang in Dongdao County can find such high-year-old wild medicine.
As soon as this kind of thing appears, it will be bought by rich people.
Just like the ginseng mentioned in the recipe, ordinary artificially cultivated garden ginseng and mountain ginseng are sold by weight. Even if they are thirty, twenty, or ten years old, they are only worth a few hundred or a few thousand yuan, and their medicinal properties are far inferior to those of wild ginseng.
Real wild ginseng is sold by the gram. If it is a little older, it could be worth hundreds of thousands, millions or even tens of millions.
Chen Jue now has martial arts skills, but he does not have the financial means, so he can only prepare a dose of ointment and use it in a hurry.
It happened that today the typhoon had just passed, and the store had just opened and there was not much business. After receiving Chen Jue's order, several Ye Tongrentang staff members started to get busy.
However, the ointment was not made so quickly, so the clerk asked Chen Jue to pay and go back to wait for half a day and come back to get it after 5 pm.
Chen Jue scanned the code and spent a total of more than 8,000 yuan. Musk and bezoar are extremely expensive Chinese medicinal materials, and even a few grams of them would be a big deal.
Chen Jue planned to prepare a small jar first to test the effect. If it didn't work, he would have to try other external medicines for bruises and internal injuries in the group file.
…
I took a taxi back to the B&B and had lunch with Uncle Yu and his family.
Because Chen Jue was injured, the aunt at the homestay specially prepared a light seafood porridge for him in advance, saying that it would be easier to absorb and digest.
Chen Jue was so moved that he finished the whole casserole of porridge before going back to take a nap.
Due to internal injuries, Chen Jue felt extremely tired after moving his body a few times. He slept until 3 pm. When he got up and checked the time, there was still time.
I went to the newly added group file and found a Taoist hard skill for practicing fingers.
Now my internal injuries haven’t healed yet, so I can’t practice big movements. I can only move my fingers to pass the time.
This Golden Needle Finger Technique is also a Wudang secret, known as one of the Thirty-Six Wudang Kung Fu. It is said that after mastering it, one can pierce bluestone with one finger and stand upside down with one finger. As Chen Jue happened to be unable to practice other kung fu, he fell in love with this Golden Needle Finger Technique at first sight.
Although the panel had not been completely updated, Chen Jue could vaguely sense that the bonuses of [Gestapo] and [Lü Zu Enlightenment] were still there, so he found a pebble from outside the house to replace the blue brick needed for practicing, and slowly practiced in the living room.
After 5 p.m., a staff member from Ye Tongrentang called and said that the ointment was ready. Chen Jue then stopped and took a taxi to get the medicine.
It only took a dozen minutes on the way. After getting the nameless ointment in the store, Chen Jue first opened the glass jar and smelled it. When he felt the smell was so strong, he borrowed a cubicle in the store and applied the ointment directly to the areas on his chest that felt stuffy and painful.
After waiting for about twenty minutes, a cool and refreshing feeling that penetrated the skin began to slowly take effect. The faint bloody smell exhaled from the mouth and nose seemed to be not as strong as before, and all the internal organs felt moisturized and comfortable.
It’s a pity that the attribute panel has not been updated yet, otherwise Chen Jue would be staring at the health index column to see if there would be any changes.
“I didn’t expect it to actually have some effect!”
"This is just applying ordinary medicinal herbs externally."
“If it’s combined with the technique of dark power and soft attack, or if higher-aged medicinal herbs are added in…” Chen Jue’s eyes moved, and he was overjoyed, thinking that the several thousand dollars were not wasted.
However, this attempt also made him realize that the new martial arts group he had joined actually contained a treasure trove of knowledge that outsiders could not imagine.
"Since the formulas of this ointment for bruises and internal injuries are truly effective... can those unverified exercises also produce results?" Chen Jue had an idea, and after wrapping up the ointment, he went out to buy some fruit and brought it back.
He planned to try out those unverified techniques as soon as the panel was updated.
After all, practicing boxing and standing meditation only makes you a martial artist.
If he were really allowed to practice something with those ancient books and old scriptures whose names sound mysterious, the result might be unexpected.
