Chapter 67 Pretty Easy
Caylie scratched her head and confessed, “This technique isn’t that hard to pick up. Actually, I pretty much learned everything after seeing you use it on Lincoln the other day.”
Duncan, Patrick, and Frederick were rendered speechless.
The challenge of mastering the Needle of Ninth Revival did not lie solely in the knowledge of acupoints. Everyone present was well–versed in traditional medicine and familiar with the locations of acupoints on the human b*dy. What made it difficult to master was the progressive layers involved in the technique.
To fully unlock the skill’s potential, one had to diligently practice the art of needle insertion over an extended period. It required time and consistent effort.
Duncan and the like were busy practicing, but Caylie had already learned the skill, claiming that it wasn’t difficult to master. They could barely believe their ears.
An idea occurred to Emrys as he told Caylie, “Caylie, I’ll show you another technique. See how much you can master.”
He swiftly found a synthetic cadaver and skillfully inserted seven needles into various acupoints, employing different techniques for each one.
Seeing that, Duncan shivered in excitement and blurted out, “Oh, it’s the Seven Stings from Hell! I can’t believe it!”
Just like the Needle of Ninth Revival, the Seven Stings from Hell was a skill that had been lost
over time.
The Seven Stings from Hell technique involved using seven needles, while the Needle of Ninth Revival technique required twelve needles. Mastering the Seven Stings from Hell technique proved to be more challenging due to its ability to achieve an equivalent treatment effect with lesser needles.
Emrys‘ lips curled as he glanced at Duncan. “Mr. Rodriguez, you’re indeed knowledgeable.”
Flattered beyond words, Duncan gave him a polite bow and responded, “Master Lund, please feel free to call me by my name, Duncan, instead of addressing me as ‘Mr. Rodriguez“.”
“We’ve gotten to know each other well, so you don’t have to be reserved,” Emrys told him.
“No, that won’t do. Anyone who teaches me for a day deserves my respect and obedience for a lifetime. That’s my principle.”
“What a stubborn old man,” Emrys commented, shaking his head in exasperation.
“Master Lund, if you don’t mind my asking, how many similar techniques have you mastered?” Duncan inquired cautiously.

Chapter 67 Pretty Easy
+10 pearls
The Needle of Ninth Revival was shocking enough. Anyone who mastered this skill would be revered by many.
Duncan had no idea that his mentor had even mastered the Seven Stings from Hell.
Naturally, he could barely hide his excitement.
Emrys pondered over his question for a moment before answering. “Not too much. Around twenty to thirty techniques. I guess.”
Twenty to thirty techniques? How is that little? That’s crazy!
Duncan’s eyes nearly popped out in shock as he shot Emrys a weird look. He assumed Emrys was being arrogant.
In truth. Emrys wasn’t acting arrogant. Back then, the friar gave him a few boxes of acupuncture manuals. Mastering only twenty to thirty of them wasn’t considered a lot.
As they conversed, Caylie had already administered the first needle.
It might have been her first time, but she executed the technique flawlessly. Her angle, force, and depth were identical to Emrys.
Duncan would need three to five days to master that first move alone.
Duncan was gaping in shock. I can’t believe she made the second move!
No one would dare to call her a fool anymore!
