While cancer cells engulfed normal cells, normal cells continued to be reproduced as part of the body’s immune mechanisms, eliminating cancer cells in the same way.
Nuannuan opened up a packet of needles that housed various types of silver needles, custom-made from Country M. The thinnest silver needle was precise to 0.09 millimeters. It was the thinnest needle available in the market.
This type of needle could only be produced by masters of the art, therefore, there were not many of them. In the first batch of needles, Nuannuan only ordered 500 to be made.
Nuannuan could not bear the idea of wasting them. Thus, she could not make herself throw the needles away after using them. She would disinfect the needles using distilled water before reusing the needles.
Nuannuan observed the cancer cells in Feng Shengxuan’s body. This was the first time she used acupuncture to stimulate cancer cells. She did not know what would happen.
However, according to her eyes, even though the tip of the needle was already as small as 0.09 millimeters, it was still too big compared to cancer cells.
As expected, after Nuannuan pierced the needle through, the tip of the needle was still too many times larger than the cancer cells. It did not matter that she could zoom in on the cancer cells countless times to see them with her naked eyes.
Based on the ratio of needles and cancer cells inside, the largest cancer cells were less than one micron, which meant that they were less than 0.001 millimeters.
In other words, the smallest needle created by the experts she hired was ninety times larger than the largest cancer cell.
Therefore, when the needle went in, not only did it destroy the cancer cells, but it also damaged the surrounding normal cells that were fighting against the cancer cells.
It was just like how Nuannuan imagined it to be.
Looking at the densely packed cancerous cells in Feng Shengxuan’s stomach that were nearly as much as the normal cells there, she felt a headache coming on.
“What’s wrong? Can’t you do it?”
Old Master Chi experienced Nuannuan’s acupuncture before. She was fast, accurate, and effective. Most importantly, whether it was Nuannuan treating the elderly leg problems, Nangong Renyi’s heart problems, or even treating Second Elder’s internal injuries, she had done it without hesitation.
This was the first time he had seen Nuannuan hesitate so much.
Nuannuan inserted the needle, spun it twice, and pulled it out. Then, she looked at Feng Shengxuan’s body and frowned.
Nuannuan raised her head and looked at the old master. She had no intention of lying to him. She waved the silver needle in her hand and said, “This is the thinnest silver needle I can find, but it is still too thick.”
The old master took the silver needle from Nuannuan’s hands. Due to his presbyopia, he could not see where the silver needle was. Using his hands to feel for the needle, he could only see the outline of the needle through the light that reflected off it.
“How thin is this needle? How thin do you need it to be? I can ask the Medic Association Hospital if they can make this needle.”
Although Nuannuan had X-ray vision, was proficient in medicine and acupuncture, she was not that omnipotent to know how to forge needles.
Therefore, when she heard her grandpa’s offer, she perked up hopefully.
“This needle is 0.09 millimeters, and what I need is a needle that is many times thinner than this.”
“How many times?”
“Preferably 90 times.”
Old Master Chi, “…”
“I also know that’s impossible, so I’ll take anything thinner.”
The old master nodded. “Okay, I’ll call the Medic Association Hospital tomorrow to ask if there’s anyone who can forge this type of silver needles.”
“Okay, thank you, Grandpa.”
