However, Rocky wasn't interested in the girl's body. He didn't even care to look at her properly. He reached for and took out the magic needles that Esteban often used for practice and began to prick them into the girl's flesh.
The use of magic needles was, in fact, no different from ordinary acupuncture. The only difference was that these needles had to be used with the spiritual power which would condense the spiritual power at the needle's tip and stimulate the meridians and acupoints. The materials required for the magic needles were quite unusual as well. Although Esteban never admitted how he acquired them, Rocky speculated that they were most likely refined from strange meteorites that held questionable power. That would explain how they could easily concentrate and control the spiritual power.
The Skill of Magic Needle wasn't difficult for Rocky since he already possessed the basic medical skills necessary to execute it.
Soon, over twenty magic needles protruded from all over the girl's body—each needle covering all her important meridians and acupoints.
However, this skill wasn't just about gathering spiritual power. It also needed to form a connection with the tips of the magic needles to achieve the treatment's purpose. This was the most challenging part.
But Rocky was able to easily master even this kind of divine skill without being taught thanks to his highly developed skills in beast curing.
His hands continuously emanated spiritual power which eventually connected to the spiritual power concentrated at the tips of the magic needles. Together, they formed a network that would help slowly draw out the poison from the girl's heart meridian towards her limbs.
Esteban would've been stunned if he was present. He would've never expected Rocky to master the Skill of Magic Needle, which Esteban created himself, by merely observing his treatments for three months.
"I'll need you to cut open your lady's hands and feet, please," Rocky requested the middle-aged woman politely.
She immediately summoned the spiritual power within her into her two fingers and formed a light blade. It sliced into the girl's hands and feet one after another. Blood as black as coal began to gush out of the wounds, a cold aura emanating off of it.
Five minutes later, the black-tinged blood began to gradually turn bright red and no longer gave off the cold aura.
"She should be okay!" Then Rocky checked on what was happening within the girl's body. After confirming that the poison had been completely discharged, he began to remove the magic needles.
Once he finished withdrawing and putting away the magic needles, Rocky turned around and sat back in his seat silently where he continued to read his medical book.
The middle-aged woman glanced at Rocky with a weird expression. But she continued to put on the girl's clothes quickly and then carried her out of the ice bed, ready to leave.
"Are you really just an assistant?" The middle-aged woman asked as she turned to face him before leaving.
"Maybe not even an assistant," Rocky replied playfully. "But if possible," he continued. "Keep what happened today a secret for me! If Esteban finds out, I may not be even able to assist anymore."
The middle-aged woman shot him a suspicious look and nodded before she swiftly left with the girl cradled in her arms.
