If she made even a single mistake during the practical sessions, she would be scolded half to death.
She had to take the practical exam over ten times before passing.
Countless times, Gu Jianing wanted to quit, but she couldn’t. Once the learning session began, she had to wait until she mastered the material and passed the exam before she could leave.
Fortunately, this forced learning was effective. Now, whenever it came to the condition of “uterine coldness,” Gu Jianing could treat it with ease.
[Congratulations, Host, for passing the exam. You have been awarded 10 points and a set of limited-edition acupuncture silver needles.]
10 points? A bit stingy, but the acupuncture needles came at the perfect time. She could start treating her sister-in-law tomorrow.
Compared to her earlier anxiety before starting the learning process, Gu Jianing was now full of confidence.
Gu Jianing also browsed the system store, which she found fascinating. To her surprise, it had everything imaginable. There was nothing it didn’t have.
As long as you had enough points, you could even buy a rocket.
Of course, there were also super cheap items, such as some practical things she could use now. For example, 1 point could buy 50 meat buns, 3 points could exchange for a bicycle, and 10 points could get a tractor…
“If I used points to buy these and then resold them, wouldn’t I make a fortune!” Gu Jianing was stunned.
However, she was just talking and didn’t plan to do this for now.
Her intuition told her to save the points for things she needed more urgently.
As she browsed, Gu Jianing stumbled upon something amazing.
[Super Body Scanner: Automatically installed in the eyes. By staring for five seconds, it can scan all conditions of a person or animal’s body. Once bound, it can be used for a hundred years.]
Gu Jianing read the description carefully and realized this thing was essentially a super high-end version of a CT machine. Any issue in the body, no matter how minor, could be detected.
“This is an essential tool for becoming a divine doctor!” With just a scan of her eyes, she could diagnose problems without even needing to take a pulse.
Gu Jianing decided she wanted to buy this and checked the price.
“It costs 100 points. 100 points isn’t a lot, but it’s not a small amount either.”
Currently, she only had 10 points, which wasn’t enough. But once she finished treating her sister-in-law and her sister-in-law successfully became pregnant, she would earn 100 points. Then she could buy it.
After her sister-in-law agreed to the treatment, Yang Manman went to bed that night with a mix of excitement and anxiety, only falling asleep in the early hours of the morning. When she woke up, she told her mother-in-law about it while preparing breakfast.
“Alright, after breakfast, I’ll go with you to see how Ningning does it. Ancestors, please bless us. I hope Ningning can cure your condition and help you conceive a child soon.” Yao Chunhua had already been thinking about her daughter’s newfound ability yesterday, but she hadn’t expected her daughter-in-law to take the initiative first. This was good too.
Gu Yunting was concerned about his wife’s treatment, but he had to go to work and could only ask about the situation after returning.
While Gu Jianing was organizing the silver needles in her room, her mother came in with her sister-in-law.
“Ningning, what are these?”
“These are silver needles for acupuncture,” Gu Jianing explained, then asked her sister-in-law to sit down. “Sister-in-law, let me check your pulse first to see your condition.”
In truth, Gu Jianing already knew her sister-in-law’s condition from the system’s analysis, but she still needed to go through the pulse-checking process.
Moreover, she wanted to verify the knowledge she had gained in the Divine Doctor Space.
Yang Manman sat down with a nervous and anxious heart, her wrist resting under her sister-in-law’s slender, pale fingers. She remained silent but was filled with hope.
“Sister-in-law, you have uterine coldness, right? During your menstrual cycle, you must experience a lot of pain, a heavy feeling in your lower abdomen…”
Gu Jianing, using the knowledge she had learned and combining it with the system’s analysis, described Yang Manman’s symptoms one by one.
Yang Manman and her mother-in-law, Yao Chunhua, exchanged glances. From initial anxiety and skepticism, they now felt excitement and joy.
“Yes, yes, sister-in-law, you’re absolutely right.”
Yang Manman had been to the hospital several times. Her physical condition was known to her husband and mother-in-law, but her sister-in-law couldn’t have known. They had never told her.
Now, her sister-in-law had accurately described her symptoms just by checking her pulse, even more detailed than the doctors at the hospital. At this moment, Yao Chunhua and Yang Manman felt reassured.
“Ningning, do you think your sister-in-law’s condition can be treated?”
“Yes, I’m quite confident.” Gu Jianing withdrew her hand. “Starting today, I’ll perform acupuncture on sister-in-law’s abdomen for fifteen consecutive days, combined with medicinal baths. That should do it.”
Gu Jianing quickly wrote down a few medicinal herbs on a piece of paper, her handwriting neat and elegant. She tore off the page and handed it to her mother. “This prescription—ask my brother to buy the ingredients when he comes back from the county this afternoon.”
“Alright, alright.” Yao Chunhua carefully took the paper, holding it as if it were a treasure.
And it was a treasure—one of the hopes that she might one day hold a grandchild.
“Sister-in-law, let’s go to your room. Lie down on the bed, and I’ll perform the acupuncture.”
“Okay.”
Once Yang Manman lay down on the bed, Gu Jianing lifted her shirt, exposing her lower abdomen. A candle was lit.
Gu Jianing’s slender, pale fingers held the thin silver needles. One by one, the needles were lightly heated over the candle flame before being inserted into Yang Manman’s abdomen. Her movements were smooth and fluid, a sight to behold.
Yao Chunhua watched her daughter, noting her focused and meticulous expression. She never hesitated when inserting the needles, as if she were completely confident and had practiced countless times.
Initially, Yao Chunhua had been worried about the sight of needles being inserted into a person’s body. But now, her heart suddenly calmed, and she inexplicably trusted her daughter.
“How are you feeling, daughter-in-law?” Yao Chunhua asked.
Lying on the bed, Yang Manman could see the thin needles inserted into her abdomen from the corner of her eye. There were already more than a dozen.
But…
“Mother, I feel fine.”
Despite the long, thin needles being inserted into her body, Yang Manman didn’t feel any discomfort or pain. As time passed and more needles were inserted, she felt her abdomen begin to warm up.
A warmth she had never felt before in her lower abdomen slowly spread to her limbs and throughout her body.
It was comfortable, so comfortable. This unprecedented warmth made Yang Manman’s eyelids grow heavier.
By the time Gu Jianing finished inserting all the needles, Yao Chunhua tapped her shoulder, indicating that her sister-in-law had fallen asleep.
“This is normal, Mother. You can go about your business. I’ll stay here and watch over sister-in-law. The needles can be removed in about an hour.”
“Alright.”
When Yang Manman woke up, she was alone in the room. The moment she regained her senses, she wasn’t sure if it was her own psychological effect or if the treatment had really worked.
She felt that her body, which had always felt heavy, was now much lighter. Her lower abdomen no longer felt heavy or cold.
Sitting on the bed in a daze for a while, Yang Manman thought that perhaps she could trust her sister-in-law after all.
Her hand slowly touched her lower abdomen. The thought of being able to conceive a child soon made the frown that had always been on her brow soften a little.
She thought her husband must be looking forward to it too.
