Chapter 4

Is there any text?

In the middle of this unremarkable blank page, there are actually words!

Fang Qiu has always had a deep secret buried in his heart, a secret that no one, not even the old man, knows!

He has absolute tactile sense!

Anything he touches with his hands can form a clear image in his mind, and he can remember it deeply.

He discovered this ability in the third grade of elementary school.

At the time, he and his friends were playing with marbles, and one of his favorite marbles went missing. Then another classmate took out an identical one.

Everyone suspected that this classmate had stolen it, including himself.

But when his fingers touched the marble, he was surprised to find that he could clearly feel the scratches on it that couldn't be seen with the naked eye.

And in his mind, the scratches on his original marble appeared clearly!

Comparing the two, he found that this one was indeed not his.

From then on, he knew he had this ability.

And this ability was known only to him.

But this ability was a bit of a dead weight; it could be impressive for a show like "The Brain," but it was practically useless in daily life. He hadn't used this ability for many years, and it had almost made him forget he even had it.

Until just now!

He actually used his absolute tactile sense to feel the words.

He was certain that what he felt was indeed words!

Could this be the reason the middle-aged man at the door recommended this book?

Fang Qiu couldn't help but wonder.

Could there really be a secret hidden in this book?

He carefully examined the page, but there was no trace of any text on the surface, not even a hint of indentation. It felt like a completely blank sheet of paper.

But he definitely felt the words.

This made him curious about the words.

Without hesitation, Fang Qiu took the ancient book and the page to the rest area.

As soon as he sat down, he eagerly took out paper and pen and the page, and his left middle finger touched the page while his right hand held the pen on the notebook.

He slowly closed his eyes.

As his fingertips slowly moved.

The words slowly appeared in his mind.

"Bone-setting technique, the key is to feel the bones, and then to set them right!"

"Feeling the bones is a natural talent, bone-setting is a minor skill, talent is intangible, minor skills can be learned..."

Just reading the first two sentences, Fang Qiu's whole body trembled.

He was very surprised.

What a grand statement!

Which ancient book doesn't praise bone-setting techniques to the skies, trying to explain them in detail?

And this book directly says that bone-setting is a minor skill?

Isn't that a bit too grand?

Regardless, he continued to close his eyes and touch.

As more and more words appeared in his mind, Fang Qiu's frown deepened.

His shock grew even more.

This is an article titled "On Bone-Setting."

It divides what is generally considered a simple bone-setting technique into three realms: Control, Friendship, and Intuition!

The difference between these three realms is astonishing.

In simple terms, it means perfectly controlling the characteristics of human bones, being able to see where a person's bones are out of place just by looking at their body shape, and thus accurately setting the bones. This is the Control realm.

Befriending the bones, achieving unity, and being able to set bones perfectly at will, this is the Friendship realm.

Fang Qiu himself knew some techniques for treating injuries, and compared to what was described, he hadn't even reached the Control realm, let alone the Friendship realm.

Above that is the Intuition realm.

If the Control and Friendship realms were understandable, the Intuition realm was completely beyond his comprehension.

It actually says that with a single thought, bones can be instantly broken, and with another thought, they can be instantly healed!

This is the Intuition realm!

This is simply shocking!

Even more shocking is that it actually records how to train for the Intuition realm!

This couldn't help but surprise Fang Qiu. The book didn't mention how to achieve the Control and Friendship realms, but it did mention the Intuition realm.

He really didn't know if the person who wrote this article was a madman or a god.

If what was recorded was true, and if someone really reached the Intuition realm, they would be almost like a god.

Even with his strong cultivation, he was shocked by the content recorded in the book.

After touching one side, he flipped the page to the other side, and his left middle finger followed.

Images of human bones began to appear in his mind, more detailed than the color anatomical diagrams available on the market.

As the detailed images of human bones, ligaments, and muscles appeared, they were followed by images of bone injury treatments. These images appeared one after another, making Fang Qiu feel as if a figure was rapidly changing with the images.

Or fingers, or fists, or legs, or back, or fists...

It seemed to be treating.

It even seemed to be teaching him step by step!

After ten minutes, with the last image appearing, the figure disappeared.

Fang Qiu slowly opened his eyes, but he was still immersed in endless shock.

Three minutes later, he finally came to his senses.

Too amazing!

He couldn't help but marvel.

He didn't know who the great being was that could leave so much information on a simple page, and even directly improve his bone-setting skills to the first stage, the Control realm.

Although he was still a bit confused, it was indeed the Control realm!

No wonder this great being was so dismissive of the first two realms. If he could directly improve someone who only knew a little about bone-setting to the Control realm, he would also be dismissive.

This world is indeed much more mysterious than he thought!

Just like this great being, he had never heard of such a person.

Fang Qiu sighed.

Shaking his head, he prepared to touch the page again to review.

But at this moment, he敏锐地 noticed that the atmosphere in the library was a bit off.

Although he didn't turn around, he sensed that the rest area of the library was full of people. It seemed he had been so engrossed that he hadn't noticed so many people coming in.

But why were there so many people in the library, and why were almost all of them looking at him with a faint hostility?

What's going on?

Fang Qiu was about to find out, but as he raised his head, he saw a pair of bright, clear, and beautiful eyes across the table, and he was momentarily stunned.

Sitting in front of him was the new school beauty of Jiang Medical University, a first-year student in the Acupuncture and Massage Department, Jiang Miaoyu.

The perfect goddess in the hearts of all male students at Jiang Medical University.

Fang Qiu never expected to meet the school beauty Jiang Miaoyu here. He had only seen her from a distance during the military training.

Very beautiful, with an outstanding aura.

That was his first impression at the time.

In an instant, he understood what was happening.

No wonder so many people came to the library; they were here to see the beautiful school beauty.

And no wonder these people were looking at him with hostility; they were jealous of him sitting with the school beauty.

Realizing this, Fang Qiu couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Such a cliché situation could happen to him.

He looked at Jiang Miaoyu and found that this beautiful school beauty only glanced at him briefly before raising her right hand and inserting a needle into a point on her left arm.

This was one of the few acupoints Fang Qiu knew.

The Quchi point.

Ancient texts record that this point can treat arm numbness and pain, and upper limb paralysis.

It seemed that Jiang Miaoyu was preparing to use herself as a test subject.

The needle pierced through the skin.

Jiang Miaoyu's needle insertion was very precise.

And very pleasing to the eye.

Then she manipulated the needle.

At this moment, Fang Qiu remembered the rumor on campus that the school beauty Jiang Miaoyu was the heir of a family of acupuncturists.

Now it seemed that the rumor was true; otherwise, it would be impossible for a student who had only undergone military training and hadn't started classes to be so skilled at needling.

Soon, the first manipulation ended, and Jiang Miaoyu's eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Fang Qiu sighed, thinking it didn't seem to be working well.

When he shifted his gaze to Jiang Miaoyu's tender left arm, he was momentarily stunned.

He was no longer just a beginner in bone-setting but a bone-setting expert at the Control realm. He could naturally see some minor issues at a glance.

Now he finally understood that Jiang Miaoyu wasn't just testing the needle.

She was treating herself.

If it were a simple case of poor blood circulation causing discomfort in the arm, the Quchi point would be very effective, but unfortunately, that wasn't the case with the beautiful goddess's arm.

After a slight hesitation, Fang Qiu reminded her, "Your treatment method is incorrect."

Jiang Miaoyu's hand, which was about to manipulate the needle, paused, and she looked up at Fang Qiu with a slight surprise and confusion.

"Your arm seems to have been injured recently, with a slight dislocation of the wrist joint and some minor ligament strain. This kind of bone injury won't be treated effectively by needling the Quchi point in a short time; it requires bone-setting."

Fang Qiu explained.

This explanation made a flash of surprise appear in Jiang Miaoyu's bright eyes.

Her arm had indeed been uncomfortable this morning when she was moving heavy objects while tidying up her dormitory. She didn't expect that this male classmate, who was also in the military training uniform, could see it at a glance.

It seemed that the campus was indeed full of hidden talents!

At this moment, another wave of pain came from her left arm, making her frown slightly and look pained.

Unable to bear seeing someone in pain, Fang Qiu quickly said, "If you need help, I can assist you."

Seeing Fang Qiu's confidence.

Jiang Miaoyu was really curious and carefully examined Fang Qiu from head to toe.

In the past, the boys in front of her would either blush and be unable to speak or try to show off themselves. This was the first time she had met a boy who offered to treat her on their first meeting and even pointed out her problem at a glance.

A new way to flirt?

But seeing Fang Qiu's sincere face, Jiang Miaoyu immediately smiled, thinking that the boy in front of her really wanted to treat her.

"Then I'll trouble you."

Jiang Miaoyu extended her arm, her eyes filled with anticipation.

Jiang Miaoyu's charming smile left Fang Qiu momentarily stunned.

But the next moment, he quickly entered the role of a doctor, his expression solemn and his eyes calm.

Fang Qiu's left hand grabbed Jiang Miaoyu's upper arm, and his right hand gently held her hand, slightly shaking it. Suddenly, he looked up and smiled at her, sincerely saying, "You are very beautiful."

Jiang Miaoyu was momentarily stunned. She was waiting for him to treat her, but she didn't expect him to say this.
