The Lu Family really didn't have any medical-grade alcohol. Before Mrs. Lu could even go, Lu Qing shot out of the room like a gust of wind, sprinting to the pharmacy outside their complex. She returned with several bottles of medical-grade alcohol.
Zhao Yuan had someone fetch a bowl. He poured it more than half full with the alcohol and lit it. Then, he handed the Fire Needles to Lu Qing, instructing, "Hold these needles and heat them in the fire."
"Okay." Lu Qing nodded. She took the Fire Needles and, as Zhao Yuan had instructed, carefully held them over the flames to heat.
Zhao Yuan, meanwhile, picked up the Long Needles. After sterilizing them with the alcohol, he first inserted them into the Yinlingquan and Three Yin Intersection acupoints. After a brief manipulation of the needles, he picked up the remaining Long Needles and inserted them into the specific spots he had identified where the Evil Qi was deeply embedded.
