The Young Lord of the Five Directions Pavilion Emerges: Eighteen Secret Manuals Ignite the Healer’s Soul

To save his gravely ill grandfather, country boy Lin Ruochen was gathering herbs on a cliff when he accidentally awakened his ancestor’s legacy. With his “Nine Sacred Needles,” he brought a stillborn baby back to life, only to be mocked by Western doctors as a mere country quack. He gave up his second-round entrance exam at a prestigious university, treating a paralyzed old man who had been ill for thirty years at a township clinic and saving powerful figures from the brink of death. But this drew the attention of the pharmaceutical giant Minghui Group. They offered him three million to keep quiet, burned down his medicinal herb garden, and nearly stole the family heirloom, the Classic of the Green Satchel! At the provincial traditional medicine competition, Lin Ruochen stunned the crowd with his “Nine-Turn Plum Blossom” needling technique, only to learn that his mother was the missing prodigy of an acupuncture family. In the shadows, the transnational medical group Western Holy Hall was using toxins that caused soul-leaving syndrome to turn living people into puppets. In the open, the hypocritical academician Fang Dahai schemed to steal his prescriptions. When a thousand-year-old bronze palace appeared in the depths of Lieshan, Lin Ruochen faced a shocking conspiracy with the Nine Sacred Needles in hand: “You use capital to trample on the medical spirit of five thousand years of Chinese civilization!” Amid the ruins, eighteen secret canons stirred the Shennong altar, and golden characters blazed skyward from an ancient stele. The shikigami of the Imperial Medicine Bureau were powerless before the Five-Tone Killing Formation, while Western Holy Hall’s Suanyu was torn apart by the divine beast Dang Kang. And Lin Yi’an, the man who had endured in silence for twenty years, led the remnants of the Five Directions Pavilion, pressing a poison-coated silver needle to his enemy’s throat. “The debt you owe traditional Chinese medicine is written in blood. Now it’s time to settle accounts!”
