Chapter 6 - Meridian Resonance
Augustus took a bike-sharing ride home from Harrington Corporation.
When he passed an intersection, he saw a car accident.
A red Maserati crashed into the roadside shrub, but fortunately, no one was hit.
Initially Augustus did not bother but when his eyes caught the lady driver lying on the ground, he stopped.
The woman was trembling violently like a leaf and even her teeth were chattering. Her mind seemed unclear as well.
The most important thing was that there was a black shadow that only Augustus could see attached to that woman's belly!
"Dual Entity!"
Augustus's cultivation now included martial arts, healing arts, and mystic arts. One of the healing arts he had was derived from an ancient book called [Eternal Qihuang Arts].
There were many medical cases listed in [Eternal Qihuang Arts], including the records of Dual Entity!
Dual Entity was the result of a pair of twins being conceived. While they were still in the womb, one of the fetuses failed to form but managed to attach itself to the other fetus, and thus remained alive in the form of vitality.
Two lives in one fetus. Hence, Dual Entity!
That was the case with the woman. At that moment, she was suffering from the interference of her unborn twin's vitality!
Dual Entity was seen as a strange condition since ancient times, and most people had never even heard of it, much less cured it.
Next to the lady driver, a doctor-like white-haired old man was anxious and at a loss.
With seemingly no other way, the white-haired old man finally took out a tranquilizer from his medicine box to inject into the woman.
Augustus rushed forward to stop him. "She's suffering because of an accumulation of innate cold energy. Injecting her with sedatives rashly won't work!"
Ordinary people would not have even heard of Dual Entity before. Even doctors would only attribute this to an accumulation of innate cold energy.
The white-haired old man looked at Augustus in shock. "You know medicine?"
To be able to tell at first glance that it was an accumulation of innate cold energy was something impossible for ordinary people.
Augustus nodded. "I happen to know a little. Maybe I can help her, but I need moxibustion needles. Do you have any?"
"Yes!"
The elderly man rummaged through his medicine box without a second thought.
After taking the needles, Augustus said nothing else and accurately plunged them into her Baihui and both of her Jianjing acupoints on the shoulders.
Those three acupoints had the effect of dispelling cold Yin energy, and invigorating Yang energy!
At the same time the three needles pierced her, thick vital energy was injected into her.
"Hum…"
The three needles trembled violently simultaneously and emitted an ear-piercing buzzing sound!
"This… This is 'meridian resonance'!"
The old man exclaimed aloud.
He had researched deeply about ancient medical arts and had read in an old book that the highest level of the art of acupuncture was to make the acupuncture points resonate with the moxibustion needles. It meant that the strongest healing effect possible had been achieved.
In order to do that, one must have a deep level of mastery in the medical arts. Not even the current Sage Doctor could do it.
However, this young man was able to perform it easily!
It was simply incredible!
As the needles were placed, the woman's body gradually stopped trembling, and beads of water continued to seep out from her forehead.
It was not sweat. It was the cold Yin energy that accumulated in her body!
A few moments later, the black energy on the woman's stomach completely dissipated, and she finally opened her eyes.
"She's fine now."
It was the first time Augustus saved this kind of patient, so he was relieved too.
"Miss Jones, you're finally awake!"
The elderly man quickly helped the woman up.
"Doctor Zander, did you save me?"
"I'm ashamed to say this, but the person who saved you was this young man…"
Howard Zander turned around, but saw that Augustus had left.
He felt a pang of regret.
The man was so young, yet he was able to perform meridian resonance. He was truly a medical genius. Howard's skills as a doctor failed in comparison to him!
It was a pity that he did not have the opportunity to get acquainted with the young man. If he did, he would certainly have to ask for some pointers!
At that moment, Miss Jones's face was also incredibly determined.
"No matter who he is, I'll definitely find him!"
With just three needles, he was able to cure her of the cold energy that had been accumulated in her body for twenty years. An amazing doctor like him was definitely worthy of her friendship. Clara Jones swore that she would definitely repay his kindness!
The next morning, Augustus and his family drove to the Harrington family mansion because Old Madam Harrington needed to ask some questions regarding the incident at Harrington Corporation yesterday.
"Mommy, I wanna go on the slide."
As soon as they entered the yard, Skylar shouted excitedly while pointing to the slide not far away.
There were not many children in the Harrington family, but that slide was specially prepared for the children. At that moment, many children around the same age as Skylar gathered there.
"You take Skylar over to play. I'll report to Grandmother."
Jeanne spoke and went straight into the inner yard.
Skylar was at the age where she liked slides very much.
Augustus was having fun with Skylar when his phone rang.
Seeing that it was from an unknown number, Augustus did not answer it, but the other party was very persistent and kept calling.
With no other choice, he answered the call.
"Hello, who is this?"
"Hello, is this Doctor Cross?"
"Doctor? Sorry, I think you might have made a mistake…"
Augustus was just about to hang up.
"Please wait, Mr. Augustus Cross. I really have something urgent to speak to you about!"
Augustus was also stunned to hear the person call his name. Just as he was about to speak, he heard the sound of a small child crying not far away.
Looking over, he saw his daughter sitting on the ground, wailing.
Augustus frowned and hung up the phone before running over.
When he reached Skylar, he saw a chubby little boy pointing at her and yelled, "You stupid girl, how dare you try and fight me? I'll slap you to death!"
