The students had returned voluntarily, indicating that the majority had accepted Emrys Excitedly. they asked, “Mr. Lund, can you teach us how to perform acupuncture?”
It seemed that everyone had a dream of becoming a martial artist.
Emrys smiled and shook his head. “Not everyone can learn acupuncture. Only those with peculiar bone structures and good looks have the chance to master it. The former is a prerequisite, and the latter is a necessity”
“Hey, Mr. Lund. How conceited of you!”
The students burst into laughter, creating a pleasant atmosphere that was completely different from the usual dull classes,
This was Emrys’s personal charm, shining on the lecture podium, leaving a lasting impression.
Taking advantage of everyone’s interest in acupuncture, Enirys naturally steered the conversation towards the topic. He called a female classmate who suffered from severe insomnia to the stage and announced that he would personally demonstrate acupuncture on her.
The female student hesitated and said, “Mr. Lund, you won’t treat me like you did with the previous student, will you? I’m a girl, and I’m shy. If you embarrass me so much, I might leave this city overnight by train.”
“Don’t worry, you’re so cute. How could I embarrass you? Come, sit on the chair, and I’ll start inserting the needles,”
“Sure, Mr. Lund. Insert them as much as you like!”
And so, Emrys inserted his acupuncture needles into the Head Acupoint, Ear Acupoint, Inner–Ankle Acupoint, and various other acupoints of this female classmate. He then explained, “This is the Head Acupoint, an acupoint on the Governor Vessel Meridian. The Governor Vessel Meridian is connected to the brain and can be used to calm the mind and clear the head…
The students in the front row craned their necks to watch.
Emrys paused and said, “You don’t have to be so formal in my class. You can come forward to watch.”
So, the students left their seats and crowded around the lecture podium, watching the needles pierce the female student’s head. They couldn’t help but ask, “Doesn’t this hurt?”
Emrys explained, “As long as you find the right acupoints, acupuncture won’t be very painful. It’s more of a swelling sensation. If you don’t believe it, you can ask this fellow student.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes, it’s true. Mr. Lund is amazing. After he inserted the needles, I didn’t feel much pain, just a tingling and numbness sensation. It’s quite comfortable!”
Hearing this, other students also became eager to try. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Chapter 261 Acupoints
Emrys selected two more students and applied acupuncture on them. Seeing that others also wanted the same, he could only respond with a wry smile. “I will only be able to provide acupuncture for these three students today. If there’s a chance in the future, I will administer it to the rest of you. Otherwise, I
won’t have enough time to cover the first lesson if I only focus on acupuncture. There are too many of you, and even I can get overwhelmed.”
Had it not been for Emrys’s serious expression, these students would have assumed he was making inappropriate remarks.
Acupuncture required a certain amount of time to take effect. Therefore, after administering the needles to the three individuals, Emrys took the opportunity to explain some basic concepts of traditional medicine.
Soon, one student asked, “Mr. Lund, since you’ve spoken so highly of traditional medicine, how can you treat heart disease?”
“Yeah, Mr. Lund. What about gastric ulcers and bronchitis? What medicine should be used for these diseases?”

They weren’t intentionally causing trouble but were simply acting out of curiosity.
Emrys smiled and explained, “Actually, in traditional medicine, there is no such thing as heart disease, gastric ulcers, or bronchitis. These are all modern medical terms, while traditional medicine names diseases based on syndromes.”
Noticing the perplexed expressions on the students‘ faces, Emrys proceeded to explain, “Let’s consider the common cold as an example. Traditional medicine acknowledges its existence, but it does not align exactly with the concept of a cold in modern medicine.”
He elaborated, “In modern medicine, the common cold is a specific disease with a designated name. However, in traditional medicine, the term ‘cold‘ is a broad term that encompasses various conditions
such as anemofrigid cold, anemopyretic cold, heat exhaustion, and common cold caused by physical weakness. These distinct characteristics are referred to as ‘syndromes. Consequently, even though it may be the same cold, the symptoms can vary, and the prescribed medication can also differ. This is what traditional medicine often refers to as ‘different treatments for the same disease“.”
