After Luo Ziling quickly inserted the needle into the old man’s knee joint, he immediately gathered up his spiritual energy and channeled it through the needle using three fingers.

A short while later, the muscles of the old man’s knee joint suddenly trembled.

Although the movement was slight, Luo Ziling was still able to notice it.

The old man frowned slightly, as if in pain, but he didn’t cry out.

Luo Ziling grabbed another needle and used the same method to stab another acupuncture point in the knee, then channeled more spiritual energy into the needle.

In response, the old man’s knee muscles trembled again, but the movement was more obvious than the previous time.

All this while, Linlan’s eyes were fixed on Luo Ziling. Upon seeing the faint expression of joy on his face, she could not help but let out a sigh of relief.

The old man half-closed his eyes, not moving at all as Luo Ziling continued to inject needles into his body.

After he finished stabbing many of the old man’s pressure points all over his body, he took them out again in an extremely fast manner.

“It went better than I expected,” Luo Ziling said with a smile. He wiped the sweat off his forehead with a cloth. “The likelihood of you making a full recovery has increased by another 10%. Although you’re in serious condition, your nerves and muscles still reacted after the acupuncture; in other words, they

haven’t completely lost their function,” he explained. “Just now, I channeled Qi into your muscles, and it was able to trigger your nerves and muscles into function just a little. It’s not too late for treatment!”

The principles of acupuncture therapy were very complicated, so Luo Ziling couldn’t explain everything in one go, nor did he want to. Besides, it would benefit him much more if he left some things up to their imaginations.

“In the past, I’ve had multiple doctors try acupuncture therapy too, but they didn’t get any results,” the old man said with a smile. “However, just from witnessing your technique in action, I can see that you’re much better and even have a unique technique. What kind of technique are you using?”

“It’s my grandfather’s unique acupuncture technique. He created it himself after summarizing the techniques of countless predecessors,” Luo Ziling explained sheepishly. “It’s never been passed on to outsiders, nor does it have a name.”

“Then it’s the Luo acupuncture method,” the old man said. “When you inserted the needle just now, I could see and feel my muscles trembling. At the same time, I could also feel something like an alternating wave of hot and cold energy in my body. This has never happened before,” he remarked, then

smiled. “It seems that there really is hope for a cure.”

month.”

g chuckled. “I will massage your important joints again, then; acupuncture in combination with a massage will yield the best results, after all. After that, I’ll write up a prescription, so all you have to do is take your medicine in accordance with my instructions. We’ll see how it tums out in half a

“Tl do that,” the old man immediately agreed.

Luo Ziling washed his hands again and massaged the old man’s arms and legs, placing particular focus on his joints.

While massaging, he also instructed the two nurses to learn his massage technique well.

Before the old man lost his ability to move, he probably regularly engaged in high-intensity training. His muscles were very strong. However, because he had not exercised recently, his formerly strong muscles had begun to wither away. Before Luo Ziling began his treatment, the nurses had been

massaging the old man’s muscles regularly to prevent them from degenerating and withering away too quickly.

However, the amount of pressure Luo Ziling required them to use was much greater than before. Furthermore, the parts he focused on were different, and the method he used to massage them was also very different.

In video game terms, if their previous massaging techniqued required one strength point to use, Luo Ziling’s method required 10 strength points. The effects of this technique would undoubtedly be much more potent than the previous one.

When he finally finished, Luo Ziling’s head was covered in sweat.

The old man was also covered in sweat, but looked to be in much better shape than before.

“If you can sweat all over every day and take the medicine according to my instructions, the lingering poison in your body should metabolize out quickly,” Luo Ziling said. “Once the poison is removed, your treatment will be half done.”

Luo Ziling then instructed Linlan to bring him a pen and paper, preparing himself to write down a prescription.

Linlan immediately followed his instructions and brought him a pen and paper.

As he wrote the prescription down, she stood behind him and looked at it.

Luo Ziling ‘s handwriting was beautiful. The ink looped into pristine letters resembling the work of a calligraphy master, and she could not help but be surprised.

This kid’s handwriting was utterly pristine.

After Luo Ziling finished writing the prescription, he handed it to Linlan and said, “Take three doses a day, one in the morning, afternoon, and evening, for fifteen days in a row. After that, I will change the prescription or the dosage according to the remaining symptoms.”

Linlan nodded in response and carefully put away the prescription.

“Sir, if 1am free, I will come back tomorrow to help you with acupuncture treatment. But the thing is, I’ve been having a lot of military training lately, so I won’t know if I have the time or not,” Luo Ziling said to the old man, a little embarrassed.

If the old man and Linlan thought that he was deliberately looking for an excuse not to come, it wouldn’t sit right with him.

“Tl come to pick you up,” Linlan said to him. “I’ve already applied for leave for you.”

“You’re still in school?” The old man was quite surprised.

“Yes, I am.” Luo ziling nodded in response, looking a little sheepish. “I’m a freshman majoring in clinical medicine at Yenching University’s School of Medicine. I only recently registered at the uni, and military training has been going on for a week.”

“Clinical medicine?” The old man could not help but show a shocked expression after hearing that. “You’re actually studying clinical medicine? Haha, you have a grandfather who is revered as a godly doctor, and your medical skills are already so good. Why are you still studying clinical medicine?”

The old man wasn’t the only one confused at Luo Ziling’s decisions; Linlan was also staring at him in befuddlement.

In response, Luo Ziling explained, “It was my grandfather’s idea. He wanted me to integrate both traditional and modem medicinal practices as much as possible.”

Hearing that, the old man looked at him meaningfully, having roughly understood the situation. He didn’t ask any more questions and just smiled.

“Then I’ll wait for you to come tomorrow.” He nodded slightly to Luo Ziling, then slowly closed his eyes, feeling sleepy.

It was then that Linlan sent v out.

‘When they walked into the small garden, Linlan thanked him in a low voice. “Thank you!”

“Can you tell me who he is?” Luo Ziling asked quietly. “I really didn’t expect him to be my grandfather’s old friend.”

Linlan hesitated for a moment, then shook her head. “We’ll talk about it in a few days. If it’s convenient, I will tell you some things.”

Luo Ziling was a little disappointed, but he didn’t pry any further.

However, he thought of another question and immediately asked, “How are the injuries on your body? Have you fully recovered?”

“Tve fully recovered,” Linlan answered, though she still felt a little awkward about the situation, She quickly regained her composure and nodded at him again. “Thank you.”

This was Linlan’s heartfelt thanks.

She felt very lucky to have survived the disaster and was filled with gratitude towards Luo Ziling — even though he had seen her whole body, she was still grateful to him.

After she returned here for a check-up, the doctors in the base were all very surprised because her wounds had recovered very well. After more than ten days, the scabs had all come off, and there was only a faint scar left behind as a reminder of what happened.

Linlan, who’d thought that there would be a few ugly scars, could not help but be pleasantly surprised.

“Want me to take another look at your wounds?” Luo Ziling suddenly asked softly while she was deep in thought.

Her face turned pink..
