Chapter 6 The Three Levels of Acupuncture

"Get me some silver needles!" Zachary ordered. He had packed his silver needles in his suitcase. Therefore, he did not have any silver needles with him at the moment.

Maxwell was an experienced Chinese physician. Therefore, he carried his silver needles with him all the time. He immediately handed them over to Zachary without any hesitation.

Zachary took the silver needles and sterilized them professionally. He rubbed the silver needles gently with his fingers, and the silver needles began to spin quickly on his fingertips. Zachary moved as fast as lightning, and the silver needles were placed precisely at the various acupuncture points on Vanessa's head.

Surprisingly, the silver needles were still spinning after being stabbed into the acupuncture points. An intermittent tinge of redness began to appear on Vanessa's face as the silver needles were spinning. Vanessa's cheeks turned rosy as the dark red blood oozed out of her ears and her nose.

"Wipe the blood!" Zachary shouted.

Master Sue rushed forward to wipe the blood away from Vanessa's face. He also managed to get a closer look at how Zachary performed the acupuncture.

The silver needles seemed to be surrounded by a thin layer of white mist. They were being stabbed onto the corresponding acupuncture points accurately at high speed. Upon seeing that, Maxwell felt extremely astonished.

Most people would not be able to appreciate how impressive his technique was, but Maxwell, who had more than 60 years of experience in Chinese medicine, was astounded at Zachary's acupuncture.

His technique of using the needles alone was amazing enough. Strength, accuracy, and skill were three important components of Chinese medicine. According to the difficulty of the techniques, acupuncture was divided into three levels, namely strength acupuncture, energy acupuncture, and spiritual acupuncture.

A majority of the Chinese physicians were only at the level of strength acupuncture. Even experienced Chinese physicians like Maxwell could barely consider having achieved the level of energy acupuncture. In fact, even Maxwell himself had not yet mastered the skills required to be at the energy acupuncture level.

As far as Maxwell was aware, no one had achieved the level of energy acupuncture except for a few famous Chinese physicians. He had never heard of anyone who could achieve the highest level, which was spiritual acupuncture.

Zachary's technique was definitely beyond Master Sue's level. It seemed like he was at the level of spiritual acupuncture.

Zachary was just a young man in his 20s, but he had already achieved the level of spiritual acupuncture, which stunned Maxwell.

Moreover, he was blown away by Zachary's skills. The needles were spinning in a particular manner, and it was no ordinary skill at all. In fact, it seemed somewhat similar to the fabled Miraculous Nine Spikes technique, which was almost extinct now.

The Miraculous Nine Spikes was a miraculous acupuncture method, passed down since ancient times. Legend said that it could even reincarnate a dead person. Although it sounded exaggerated, it was absolutely a top tier skill in the world of Chinese medicine. Nowadays, it could rarely be seen anymore. However, rumour had it that the skill was still being passed down in the largest Chinese medicine clinic in the country, which was the Miraculous Hall.

"I'm done!"

Zachary let out a long sigh of relief and then said, "The blood clot in the patient's brain has been removed completely. I have also sealed the wound temporarily with the silver needles. It's no big deal now. It will take a day or two for her to recover. However, you must not pull out the silver needles on her head before she wakes up."

Looking at his granddaughter who had recovered her healthy complexion, Master Sue nodded his head quickly as he gripped Zachary's hand in gratitude.

As for the doctors and nurses who were at the scene, they were all dumbstruck. They didn't expect that an intern would have such excellent medical skills.

Zachary nodded, "I'm a little tired. I'll leave now." Then, he turned around and left.

Dr. Tse suddenly had an idea. He quickly walked over with a flattering smile, "Zachary, I didn't expect your medical skills to be so good. I know someone from Ludington Medical College. I'm going to tell them that you don't have to go back to school anymore. You can start working in our hospital instead. Does this sound good to you?"

"You can skip your internship and become the vice director of the Chinese Medicine Department. What do you think?" Dr. Tse smiled flatteringly as he made the offer.

The other nurses and doctors were shocked, especially Nancy, who had always looked down on Zachary. She didn't expect that Zachary would become the vice director in the blink of an eye, when he was just an intern before.

Zachary glanced at Dr. Tse and felt disgusted. He said sarcastically, "No, thanks. I am not competent enough for this hospital."

Dr. Tse was a shameless and thick-skinned person. He immediately replied, "I won't force you to stay if you want to focus on your studies. I'll write a letter to prove that you have completed your internship. I'll only leave good comments."

Zachary waved his hand and interrupted Dr. Tse. He didn't need such a shameless person to write comments for him.

Dr. Tse was rejected again. He looked somewhat embarrassed, but he couldn't afford to lose his temper at that moment. Therefore, he could only pretend to remain smiling.

Master Sue came over, "Doctor Ching, I'll write you a letter to vouch for your internship if you don't mind."

Zachary was startled. To him, it didn't matter whether he got the letter, or whether he graduated from Ludington Medical College. It'd be impossible for him to end up jobless with his current level of medical skills.

However, the original Zachary wished to graduate from Ludington Medical College. It'd be convenient for him to do so if he got the letter from Maxwell. Therefore, he agreed to accept it in the end.

"Thank you very much, Master Sue," Zachary nodded in gratitude. After receiving the letter written by Master Sue, he turned around to leave.

Master Sue made a phone call to transfer Vanessa to another hospital as soon as Zachary had left. Obviously, he didn't want his granddaughter to stay in such a hospital.

Dr. Tse and Fabian wanted to explain themselves to Maxwell. However, they had no chance to do so, as Maxwell was busy on the phone. They gritted their teeth and approached Maxwell just as he was about to leave with Vanessa.

"Master Sue, it is actually just a misunderstanding, we..." Dr. Tse put on a fake smile and provided an explanation to Maxwell while rubbing his hands together.

Master Sue's face turned dark. He did not listen to Dr. Tse at all. He said coldly, "I will report to your hospital about what happened today."

Dr. Tse's face turned ashen. He leaned against the wall in a daze as his legs went weak.

Dr. Tse's reputation would be ruined even if Maxwell didn't exaggerate the situation. Maxwell was an influential person, and Dr. Tse would be doomed if the incident was reported.

Maxwell turned to look at Fabian, "Fabian, Vanessa is still a student. She should focus on her studies. Please stop seeing her."

It was quite obvious what he was trying to say. Maxwell wanted to completely cut off Fabian's intention to use Vanessa to get close to the Sue family.
