Lu Xuan gave no definite answer.
Then he looked at the patient suffering from cold-induced back pain and thought for a mont before saying, "I've only recently mastered the Mountain Burning Fire and Heart-piercing Cold techniques. Although I've experinted on myself, it's hard to guarantee their effectiveness, so I need to make that clear to you before proceeding."
The woman thought for a mont and asked, "Dr. Lu, is there another thod that works for my condition?"
"Yes."
Lu Xuan replied candidly, "However, the effect might not be as good as the Mountain Burning Fire technique. You might have to co back seven or eight tis, and if it's more severe, it could take more than ten sessions."
"What about using Mountain Burning Fire?"
"Perhaps one or two sessions will suffice," Zhou Jiande's eyes glead with confidence in the Mountain Burning Fire technique.
He had diagnosed the woman's condition; it was cold-induced back pain due to cold energy entering the body. With the Mountain Burning Fire technique, one session could yield excellent results, and one or two sessions would be enough to fully cure it.
If other thods were used, seven or eight sessions would be minimal.
One or two tis versus seven or eight tis—this is the difference.
The difference between acupuncture mastery and ordinary techniques.
Moreover, the more severe the condition, the larger the difference becos.
Otherwise, how could it be called acupuncture mastery?
"You can think about how to choose; if you're worried about problems, it really doesn't matter. Dr. Lu's skills are only better than mine, not worse; you just heard that yourself."
Zhou Jiande tried to persuade her, the Mountain Burning Fire technique's effect still needed to be tested on patients.
If he had any issues, he would have let Lu Xuan try it on him.
Since he studied acupuncture, he naturally knew there was no danger. The woman's cold back pain required acupuncture on her legs; even using the Mountain Burning Fire technique involved minimal risk, no different from using ordinary thods.
Hearing Zhou Jiande, the woman hesitated. Her rational mind opted for ordinary acupuncture, but so impulse inside her urged her to choose the latter: "Let Dr. Lu try."
The woman's choice brought a smile to Zhou Jiande's face, and he looked at Lu Xuan with eager anticipation.
Lu Xuan did not hesitate either. He wanted to try it on a patient himself. Signaling for her to sit, he knelt down and grasped her ankle.
After locating the Kunlun Blood, he took a deep breath and applied the Mountain Burning Fire technique to the Left Kunlun.
Upon reaching the third degree, Lu Xuan asked, "How is it, do you feel any warmth?"
The woman shook her head, "No sensation."
Zhou Jiande looked tense.
Lu Xuan continued to diligently apply another degree of the Mountain Burning Fire technique. When the acupuncture needle ascended from the Earth Departnt to the Celestial Departnt, the woman suddenly exclaid, "Yes, yes, I feel very warm, and the warmth is rising. My leg feels as if it's in hot water, such a wondrous sensation..."
"How about your knee?" Lu Xuan quickly asked.
The woman shook her head, "No, the warmth stopped at my leg, the knee is still cold, and the back pain hasn't improved."
She was a bit disappointed after speaking.
She had originally thought one needle would cure her cold-induced back pain, but the warmth stopped at the knee and didn't go further.
"Dr. Lu..."
Zhou Jiande couldn't help but interject. However, as he spoke, he saw Lu Xuan suddenly start tapping the bladder ridian above the bilateral Huantiao and Juexi points.
At this mont, the previously disappointed woman shouted again in surprise, "It's coming, it's coming again!"
