When Erniu had inserted all eighty-one Silver Needles, he also placed alcohol-soaked cotton balls on top of them and then directly lit them.
The elderly lady originally came to the Dongjing Gymnasium during a rheumatism flare-up, with pain in her hands and feet.
However, given the occasion and the fact that she was from the Island Nation, she was very tolerant!
But when Erniu's Silver Needles pierced her skin, she distinctly felt the pain subside.
And as soon as Erniu lit the cotton balls on the needles, she immediately felt the heat conducted from the Silver Needles spreading to the areas affected by rheumatism.
Traditionally in Ancient Medicine, rheumatism is seen as a disease caused by dampness and cold, causing a chill pain in the affected areas.
Therefore, as the heat reached the sites of pain, not only did the elderly lady's pain vanish, but her body, which always felt cold, seemed to be suddenly immersed in hot water as warmth penetrated every pore of her skin.
