How to insert the needles, this relates to the core content of acupuncture.

However, there are so many who claim to be acupuncture masters in the market, but how many truly can cure diseases with acupuncture?

Many of them are merely engaging in false advertising, claiming to perform acupuncture when they are simply inserting needles into ineffective acupoints; ultimately, it is the herbal medicine that has the therapeutic effect.

But why don't they directly use herbal medicine to treat people?

Because people have a curiosity, everyone uses herbal medicine, and if you suddenly cure someone with acupuncture, naturally more people will seek you out for treatment.

Yet those doctors, when explaining to patients why they still need to use medicine, would say that these medicines are merely auxiliary, and that acupuncture is the real cure.

Many of the students below understood this, but precisely because they understood, they were all the more amazed, wondering how difficult it must be to genuinely learn acupuncture?

Even within Huadu University, who truly understood the art of acupuncture?

Probably not even Director Ji Ji Feng!

The teachers sitting in the last row also quietly began discussing among themselves.

However, their words were almost always full of doubt.

"Does Professor Xu really know acupuncture? I doubt it."

"Perhaps he's just saying this to get the students' attention, forget about us, I doubt even Director Ji knows acupuncture? "

Upon hearing his name mentioned, Ji Feng laughed softly and said, "Not to hide it from you all, I indeed do not know acupuncture. It's unknown how many in the nation still do, as it is extremely difficult to learn. Over time, knowledge passed down from generation to generation has gradually been lost, however…"

Ji Feng hesitated briefly, then added, "Perhaps Professor Xu does know acupuncture."

"Why?" someone immediately asked.

Ji Feng smiled mysteriously and replied, "Just keep watching and you will find out."

Seeing almost everyone in the audience full of skepticism, Xu Hao laughed and said, "If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask; don't hold back."

"Professor Xu, are you going to talk about the basic knowledge of acupuncture, or something more profound?" a male student hesitated for a moment before asking.

Xu Hao replied, "I am going to talk about the basic knowledge of acupuncture."

Many were extremely disappointed upon hearing from Xu Hao that he was only going to discuss the basics.

They had thought Xu Hao would bring something different!

Xu Hao observed the disappointed expressions of the audience, smiled, and said, "I only said this class will cover the basics of acupuncture, but I never said we won't go deeper in future lectures."

Xu Hao's words piqued everyone's interest again, but someone boldly questioned, "Professor Xu, you must also be aware of the current state of traditional Chinese medicine in Huaya, and many techniques have indeed been lost, especially acupuncture. Just saying it won't really convince us!"

"Yes, Professor Xu, why not show us a few tricks?"

Many faces looked at Xu Hao with anticipation, hoping he wasn't just making blind claims, though the likelihood seemed slim.

Even Ji Feng didn't harbor much hope. SamplefromMyVirtualLibraryEmpire—readmoreonM&VLEMPY&R.

However, Xu Hao surprisingly said, "Since everyone puts it that way, I'll demonstrate a few techniques, I have already brought Silver Needles."

As he spoke, Xu Hao took a box of Silver Needles out of his bag, then said, "Who would like to come up and try my acupuncture?"

"Any disease is okay?" Little Fatty asked.

"Any disease." Xu Hao replied confidently.

Little Fatty immediately stood up and said, "Professor Xu, I've been suffering from gastroenteritis recently, just eating a little bit of cold or spicy food makes me uncomfortable, could you treat me with acupuncture?"

This disease is very common but tough to cure definitively. Nearly every time doctors prescribe medicine, they warn against eating irritant foods because no one is absolutely sure of a cure.

And here Little Fatty was, challenging Xu Hao with gastroenteritis!

Because even if Xu Hao wanted to treat his gastroenteritis with acupuncture, he would need to needle the abdomen.

But needling the abdomen and its surroundings is the most difficult, because those areas are too fatty.

Moreover, since this boy was Little Fatty, there was even more flesh on his belly, undoubtedly making it much harder for Xu Hao to apply needles.

Even Ji Feng couldn't help but remark, "Although many of these students are freshmen, and they didn't study medical courses in high school, it seems they have read many medical books. Otherwise, they wouldn't have come up with such tricky questions right away. However, this also shows that they harbor great doubts about Professor Xu's words.

Now it's uncertain how Professor Xu will tackle this challenge. I am very much looking forward to it, it would be wonderful if Professor Xu could demonstrate true acupuncture!"
