The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 475

Daniel's words were not an exaggerated claim; he truly possessed the ability to revive the ill. "Stop talking and start saving him!" Jessica urged the self-proclaimed proficient healer.

Daniel opened his plastic bag and began rummaging through it under the gaze of everyone present. Professor John watched with furrowed brows, shaking his head before inquiring, "What exactly are you planning to do?"

"You managed to kill the patient, didn't you? I'm getting ready to bring him back," Daniel replied nonchalantly.

"Bring back the dead? Stop boasting! When someone dies, they are dead. Look at these screens; every reading is zero. Look at the patient's pupils — they show clear signs of death. You can even feel his hand; it's already ice-cold. Once a person dies, blood circulation stops, and the body quickly turns cold. This is basic medical knowledge. Don't talk nonsense and disrespect the dead!"

"Professor John, your 'basic medical knowledge' is that of modern medicine, not our shamanic medicine. The common sense of modern medicine is not always correct. From a modern medical perspective, the patient might be dead, but from a shamanic perspective, he is still alive and can be saved."

"And how do you propose to save him?"

As Professor John asked, Daniel had already retrieved his needle from the plastic bag. Inside, there were Seven Dragon Needles — a total of seven.

Daniel twirled the needles in his hand and declared, "With this."

"This?" Professor John looked on, filled with confusion, "And what is that supposed to be?"

"Needle Of Seven Dragon!" Daniel announced, showing the Seven Dragon Needles.

These seven gold needles looked dingy, even rusty. Although gold shouldn't rust, the gold used to create these needles went through a special process not typical to standard gold. The black and rust-like spots were not actually rust but rather dragon scales.

The Seven Dragon Needles were alive; they were seven fledgling dragons that required nurturing and nourishing. They looked dark and dirty because they had yet to mature into dragons. Once they did, they would turn bright gold and dazzlingly radiant.

Observing these seemingly filthy needles, Professor John's frown deepened. Pointing at the Seven Dragon Needles, he asked Daniel, "And what do you plan to do with those things?"

"Acupuncture, of course! In the patient's current state, only my Seven Dragon Needles can revive him through acupuncture."

"Acupuncture? You mean to say you want to stick those dirty needles into Kind's body?"

"If it's acupuncture, then obviously, the needles have to go into his body!"

Hearing this, Pork quickly stepped forward to intervene, "Country boy, what are you doing? Stop messing around! Sticking those dirty needles into my grandfather's body is disrespectful!"

"Disrespectful? How am I being disrespectful? Get it right, brother-in-law, your grandfather is my grandfather. Why would I disrespect my own grandfather? What good would that do me? I’m trying to save him because I'm the only one who can!"

Daniel's assurance that he could indeed bring the elderly man back from the brink of death left everyone in a state of suspended belief. Would his unconventional method truly breathe life back into the fading patriarch?
