Chapter 1700 Wooden Puppet

Ye Bufan sized him up. The man was wearing a green robe and had a somewhat handsome appearance, but his eyes darted around, indicating he was a person with deep schemes.

Seeing that he hadn't spoken, the Young man said impatiently, "What are you looking at? I'm asking you a question. What are you trying to do, being so sneaky?"

Ye Bufan spread his hands, "I'm standing here openly, alright? Which eye of yours saw me being sneaky?"

"Kid, you dare talk back to me?"

The Young man glanced at the clothes he was wearing, which were worn by a Shopkeeper, and his face was full of disdain.

"You're not from our Taiping Medical Center, so what are you doing here? And you still say you're not being sneaky?"

Ye Bufan was about to say something when Su Caiwei walked out of the medical center.

"Senior Brother Chu, Ye Dage is our medical center's new Shopkeeper."

Su Caiwei stepped forward to Ye Bufan, took his arm, and looked at the Young man, introducing, "This is Chu Yun, a disciple my father took in. You can also call him Senior Brother Chu."

When Chu Yun saw the intimate demeanor of the two, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and his expression became even more somber.

He asked Ye Bufan, "Have you worked in a medical center before?"

"No."

Ye Bufan shook his head. Although he had once opened a medical center and worked as a doctor, according to what he had told Su Caiwei earlier, he could only say no.

Chu Yun asked again, "Then do you understand the rules of the medical center?"

"No."

Although Ye Bufan was revered as a Medical Immortal, this was his first time in the Kunlun Immortal Realm, so he indeed did not know what rules existed here.

"You have no experience at all and don't understand anything. Why should you work as a Shopkeeper here?"

Chu Yun turned to look at Su Caiwei, "Junior Sister, I think you're being a bit too hasty. Although the medical center is short-staffed right now, not just anyone can come here to be a Shopkeeper."

"Senior Brother Chu, Ye Dage also knows Medical skill. Since we're short-staffed, let him try first."

Although Su Caiwei had witnessed Ye Bufan's Spirit-Nourishing Needle last night, she was not clear about the final effect, so she still had no clear concept of his Medical skill.

Chu Yun snorted coldly but said nothing more, turning and walking into the medical center.

"Ye Dage, I've already made breakfast. Let's go eat."

Su Caiwei pulled him towards the courtyard. As Ye Bufan passed the medical center, he casually glanced inside and saw two mu kui placed there.

He was slightly stunned, then stopped.

"Miss Su, what are those?"

The two mu kui were about the same size as a Immortal Master, made in a one-to-one ratio, and were covered with dense small holes, which corresponded exactly to the acupoints on the human body.

Seeing these things, he immediately thought of the treasure of Chinese medicine, the Acupuncture Bronze Figure. The two were extremely similar, yet different.

These things were made entirely of wood, and in terms of craftsmanship, there was still some gap compared to the exquisite Acupuncture Bronze Figure.

"Don't call me Miss Su anymore, it sounds awkward. From now on, just call me Caiwei."

Su Caiwei smiled at him, then raised her hand to point at the two mu kui, "You mean them? These are mu kui!

Ye Dage, have you really studied Medical skill? Why don't you even recognize this?"

"Oh! I studied with my Master in the mountains and haven't seen this thing."

Ye Bufan said, stepping forward to carefully examine the two mu kui.

From the outside, these things were basically similar to the Acupuncture Bronze Figure, and the acupoints were also those of the human body.

However, there were no holes for injecting mercury, and he didn't know how this thing could achieve the effect of practicing acupuncture.

"How is this thing used?"

He asked curiously.

"It's very simple!"

Su Caiwei said, taking out her needle bag, pulling out a silver needle, dipping some green liquid from a small bottle nearby, and then casually pricking an acupoint on the mu kui.

Her needle prick was precise and steady, entering to just the right depth, and then a hint of red seeped out from the needle hole.

However, when the needle was pricked at an adjacent position, there was no reaction at all.

Ye Bufan immediately understood that this red color represented the needle-in-mercury-out of the Acupuncture Bronze Figure. The two were the same principle, yet he didn't know how this was achieved.

"Caiwei, what's going on? Why does red seep out when the silver needle is inserted?"

"It seems you really haven't seen a mu kui." Su Caiwei explained, "The wood used to make mu kui is extremely special, it's the unique Heavenly Essence Wood of the Kunlun Continent. The trunk of this wood will turn red and seep out when it touches the sap of thorn grass."

Ye Bufan immediately knew that the green liquid in the bottle should be the sap of thorn grass, but he thought for a moment and asked again, "That's still not right. According to what you're saying, even if it's pricked on the outside, there should be a red reaction."

"Because this mu kui undergoes special treatment during production, and a special technique is used when polishing the surface, so you won't see red unless you go deep inside."

Su Caiwei looked at him in confusion and asked, "You haven't even seen a mu kui. How do you usually practice acupuncture? You don't really prick yourself, do you?"

"This… no, my Master has a special instrument called the Acupuncture Bronze Figure…"

Ye Bufan brought up the Acupuncture Bronze Figure and also explained its structure.

"Your Master is truly a remarkable person. It seems we can't make something like that."

After hearing about the design of the Acupuncture Bronze Figure, Su Caiwei exclaimed in admiration.

"Alright, let's go eat, or it will get cold soon."

The two left the medical center and went to the room in the back to eat.

The food on the table was already set, very similar to Chinese cuisine: steamed buns, rice porridge, and a few small dishes.

Chu Yun was already sitting at the table, along with a middle-aged man of fifty or sixty years old. He had a clear appearance, but at this moment, his face was pale, and his spirit was listless, as if he was seriously ill, and there was an unresolved sorrow between his brows.

He was none other than the head of Taiping Medical Center, Su Dingfang, Su Caiwei's father.

"Father, are you feeling better?"

Su Caiwei went over and asked with concern.

"Still the same. Don't worry about me, hurry and eat."

"Father, let me introduce you. This is Ye Dage, who will be helping out at our medical center for the next few days. This is my father…"

Su Caiwei introduced the two, then gestured for Ye Bufan to sit down.

"Hello, Uncle!"

Ye Bufan greeted him. He had been worried that the other party would ask about his background, which would be difficult to explain. He couldn't very well say that he had appeared in his daughter's bathroom in the middle of the night.

"Cough, cough, cough…"

Su Dingfang had a violent fit of coughing, looking extremely uncomfortable, and didn't ask a single word about him.

Su Caiwei walked behind her father and helped pat his back for a while, which made him feel much better.

"Ye Dage, please eat."

After she finished, she returned to her seat and affectionately placed the bowl and chopsticks in front of Ye Bufan.

Watching the two of them in such an intimate manner, a cold glint flashed in Chu Yun's eyes.

He had coveted this Junior Sister for a long time, but Su Caiwei had always been unyielding. He hadn't expected her to be so enthusiastic towards this newcomer.

During the meal, no one spoke, except for Su Dingfang's occasional coughs.

After the meal, Su Caiwei began to clear the dishes. Chu Yun said in a deep voice, "Newcomer, go wash the dishes. You're the Shopkeeper, this is your duty."
