After the Li Yun Incident, the reputation of Tian Ji Men grew even more prominent. During this period of seclusion, Tian Ji Men welcomed an increasing number of people seeking medical treatment due to the arrival of Su Mu. He gradually began to handle some simple cases independently, continuously improving his medical skills and Daoist Techniques through practice.
One day, a young Woodcutter rushed into Tian Ji Men, his face filled with panic as he shouted, "Xian Chang, help! My wife has suddenly fallen into a coma. Please save her!"
Su Mu quickly approached and asked, "Brother, don't worry. Take your time and tell me how your wife fell unconscious."
The Woodcutter gasped for breath as he explained, "My wife was fine this morning. She went up the mountain to gather herbs, but when she returned, she collapsed and won't wake up no matter how much I call her..."
Su Mu carefully followed the Woodcutter along the winding path until they finally arrived at the Woodcutter's modest yet cozy little home. Stepping inside, a faint herbal fragrance filled the air, bringing a sense of tranquility and reassurance.
Turning his gaze to the bedside, he saw a young woman with delicate features lying there quietly. She looked exceptionally haggard; her complexion was pale as paper, devoid of any color. Dark circles under her tightly shut eyes hinted at countless sleepless nights. Her lips had lost their usual rosy hue, appearing slightly white and cracked. Even her breathing was faint, barely perceptible, as if it could cease at any moment.
Seeing this scene, Su Mu hurriedly stepped forward and gently sat on the edge of the bed. He reached out to check the woman's slender wrist and began to take her pulse. After a moment, Su Mu's brow furrowed in surprise. The woman's pulse was extremely erratic—sometimes fast, sometimes slow; sometimes strong, sometimes weak—completely lacking any regularity. What astonished him even more was that through her pulse, he sensed a strange energy swirling within her body like a rampaging beast, wreaking havoc on her already fragile bodily functions.
"She is not ill; she has fallen into some kind of illusion," Su Mu said. "Brother, did your wife encounter anything unusual while she was on the mountain today?"
The Woodcutter frowned in thought for a moment before slowly replying, "My wife excitedly told me that while chopping wood on the mountain, she inadvertently came across an extraordinarily peculiar sea of flowers. The colors were vibrant and dazzling—truly breathtaking! Unable to contain her curiosity and impulse, she stepped into it to fully appreciate this rare beauty. But who would have thought that after that moment, she seemed to have lost all memory of what happened next..."
Upon hearing this, Su Mu nodded slightly and murmured thoughtfully, "It seems she must have accidentally wandered into some mysterious Illusion Array." It was known that in these mountains, there were often experts skilled in array formations who set up various marvelous Illusion Arrays. Some did so to capture wild beasts as prey; others aimed to protect precious rare herbs from being easily stolen by others. Given the current situation, it appeared that the Woodcutter's wife had inadvertently entered such a meticulously arranged Illusion Array due to a moment of carelessness.
"Brother, don't worry; I can save your wife," Su Mu reassured him. "However, I need to go up the mountain to find that Illusion Array in order to completely break the spell on her."
Upon hearing this, the Woodcutter immediately exclaimed, "Xian Chang, I'll take you there! I'll take you there!"
Su Mu closely followed the Woodcutter as they climbed to the mountain's peak. Along the way, the Woodcutter vividly described a mysterious and wondrous sea of flowers, captivating Su Mu's imagination.
Finally, they reached their destination. The sight before them was breathtaking—a vibrant and dreamlike expanse of flowers was blooming wildly, as if it were a masterpiece carefully painted by nature. However, the perceptive Su Mu quickly sensed that this flower sea was not an ordinary place, as a faint wave of Spiritual Energy permeated the surroundings.
After meticulous observation, Su Mu concluded that an extremely intricate Illusion Array must be set up here. This Illusion Array was cleverly concealed within the flower sea, and without careful discernment, one could easily become ensnared within it.
Su Mu focused intently on every detail of the array, leaving no trace unnoticed. She occasionally furrowed her brow in thought and softly murmured, as if engaging in a silent dialogue with the mysterious formation.
After a moment, it seemed she had come to a realization. Slowly, she took out several ancient copper coins from her pocket. These coins emitted a faint spiritual glow, clearly not ordinary items. Then, she carefully arranged the coins on the ground in a specific formation, her movements light yet precise.
Once everything was ready, Su Mu took a deep breath and called out softly, “Break!” In an instant, the coins erupted with dazzling light, resembling brilliant stars in the night sky. At the same time, the entire Illusion Array began to tremble violently, and the previously illusory scene gradually became clear.
With a crisp sound of shattering, the Illusion Array collapsed like a broken mirror. The strange flower sea finally revealed itself completely to Su Mu and the Woodcutter, its breathtaking beauty leaving them entranced.
Meanwhile, at the Woodcutter's home, the unconscious woman slowly opened her eyes. Although she could not remember what had happened within the Illusion Array, her body had returned to normal.
The Woodcutter was overwhelmed with gratitude and repeatedly thanked Su Mu. She smiled and said, “It was just a small effort. In the future, when your wife goes to gather herbs on the mountain, she must be cautious and avoid wandering into any Illusion Arrays again.”
Su Mu's reputation soared within a radius of a hundred miles. Patients came in droves seeking her help, and Tian Ji Men flourished. Su Mu became busier than ever, treating patients daily while studying medicine and Daoist Techniques without daring to slack off.
Xuanji Dao Ren quietly observed all of this with great satisfaction. A wave of indescribable joy surged within him as he thought to himself: “This child Su Mu truly lives up to my expectations! It seems he has shed his youthful naivety and is steadily maturing; given time, he will undoubtedly become an outstanding healer capable of standing on his own.”
With this thought in mind, Xuanji Dao Ren felt inspired and decided to impart all his knowledge accumulated over many years—more profound medical skills and Daoist Techniques—to this promising disciple. Among these teachings was the legendary secret needle technique passed down through Tian Ji Men—the Heavenly Mechanism Divine Needle.
The "Heavenly Mechanism Divine Needle" is the culmination of the fusion between the Daoist arts of Tian Ji Men and medical practices. Its techniques are varied and profound, capable not only of healing ailments but also imbued with powerful magical abilities to dispel evil, restore balance, and eliminate impurities. If Su Mu can grasp the essence of this needle technique, his medical skills will undoubtedly experience a qualitative leap, potentially allowing him to break through existing boundaries and become a master of the Medical Path.
The "Heavenly Mechanism Divine Needle" is not an ordinary acupuncture technique; it combines Daoist true energy with human acupoints, capable of unlocking the body's potential and treating complex ailments. Mastering the "Heavenly Mechanism Divine Needle" requires exceptional talent and insight, along with precise understanding of the body's meridians.
Su Mu did not dare to be negligent; he practiced diligently every day, repeatedly contemplating the mysteries of the "Heavenly Mechanism Divine Needle." He used a wooden practice dummy to hone his needle techniques, striving for precision with every needle insertion. He frequently consulted his master, humbly learning and continuously improving his skills.
In addition to the "Heavenly Mechanism Divine Needle," Su Mu also began studying the formulation of more complex elixirs and talismans. He delved into ancient texts, learning about the properties and combinations of various medicinal herbs, attempting to concoct elixirs with special effects, such as the "Strengthening Pill" to enhance physical constitution, the "Hui Chun Dan" for treating internal injuries, and the "Bixie Pill" to expel evil spirits.
In terms of talismans, Su Mu made significant progress as well. He learned various methods for drawing and utilizing talismans, becoming proficient in crafting those for exorcism, protection, and healing. He even experimented with combining talismans and needle techniques to create new treatment methods.
After a period of diligent training, Su Mu's medical skills and Daoist techniques saw remarkable improvement. He was able to use the "Heavenly Mechanism Divine Needle" to treat complex conditions such as paralysis, blindness, and deafness. He could also formulate powerful elixirs and talismans that helped people resolve various difficult issues.
As Su Mu's medical skills and Daoist techniques continued to advance, the time for his return to the city drew ever closer.
