"What is this...?" Li Dongliang was shocked and lifted Bai Xiao's hand to have a closer look.
The veins on the hand were all visible, blue and exposed, like white jade, but why was the temperature so low?
"Every time I use acupuncture, I consume my own Inner Strength. This so-called Inner Strength is what I have cultivated over time by absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, which essentially is my own Internal Qigong. In plain terms, it's my own vitality. Once consumed, it causes my entire body to enter a state of hypothermia.
That's why I must demand perfect measures for heat preservation, and I need to be provided with enough heat. Otherwise, if you really can't provide these for me, then I can only see one patient a day. I won't die from the cold with just one, but if I have to see ten or eight patients, I'm afraid I can't manage."
