I Can Talk to the Internal Organs-Chapter 339 - 305: Be as High-Profile as You Can

"Lu Jiu, get ready to go with me to Jinling in three days."

Inside Lu Jiu TCM Hospital, in the medicinal diet department, Lu Jiu was eating when a call came in from Huang Fusheng.

The first thing Lu Jiu heard when he answered the call was to go to Jinling, which puzzled him a bit, but he quickly recalled what Lu Ming had told him.

"Teacher, is it about the Non-Heritage Conference?" Lu Jiu asked.

Huang Fusheng said, "Oh, you know about this? Yes, the conference in Jinling invited me to participate, and I want to take you to meet a few old friends, so we’ll handle both things at once."

Indeed.

"Teacher, how long will we be gone?" Lu Jiu asked.

"About a week," Huang Fusheng chuckled, "This conference will allow you to see some of the country’s top TCM practitioners. Of course, there will also be foreign TCM practitioners, some of whom are quite accomplished in acupuncture."

"One of the keynote speakers, Grado, is a De Hans acupuncturist, and it’s said that he knows the legendary Five Elements Acupuncture Technique."

Five Elements Acupuncture Technique?

This is an acupuncture technique that had been lost.

Unexpectedly, it was mastered in De Hans by a foreigner.

"Teacher, he must have learned it from a mentor, right?" Lu Jiu said.

Huang Fusheng replied, "Yes, indeed he did, but I heard that his teacher has passed away. This conference likely invited him hoping to keep the Five Elements Acupuncture Technique in the country."

"After all, the Five Elements Acupuncture Technique is originally ours, but was lost overseas due to various reasons. If we could learn and pass down this technique, it would greatly benefit the development of TCM."

Lu Jiu wondered, "What is he thinking?"

Huang Fusheng replied, "I’m not sure, but since he accepted the invitation, it means he isn’t opposed to it. As long as there are terms, everything can be negotiated."

Lu Jiu asked, "Teacher, have you seen the Five Elements Acupuncture Technique?"

Huang Fusheng said, "I’ve seen it, but the Five Elements Acupuncture Technique in our country is mostly pieced together by later generations. It’s not the true form."

"The so-called Golden Needle, Wood Needle, Water Needle, Fire Needle, and Earth Needle are just superficial. The true Five Elements Acupuncture Technique handed down through the centuries can’t possibly be that simple."

Lu Jiu asked, "Then how can you be sure that the De Hans person has the true technique?"

Huang Fusheng laughed, "It’s indeed uncertain, but the Five Elements Acupuncture Technique in this country only became popular in the last ten years, and its origins can be traced to which TCM practitioner created it."

"Grado, on the other hand, started learning acupuncture thirty years ago, so it should be different from our Five Elements Acupuncture Technique. Even if it’s not the true technique, it’s worth learning from it."

True enough.

For someone to make a name in De Hans with acupuncture and to be invited to Huaxia, without a doubt, his acupuncture skills must be solid.

Even if it’s not the true technique, there’s certainly something to learn from it.

"Alright, I’ll inform them and head to Jinling with you in three days." Lu Jiu said.

The hospital is now on track, and the number of patient visits is gradually stabilizing, so even if he leaves for a week or so, it won’t affect much.

As for patients needing follow-up consultations, he can take a moment these days to inform them to wait for his return for their next visit.

"Heh, heh, heh, several of the old friends we’re meeting are quite eager to see you. They’ve been urging me on the phone. When you arrive, you might need to show a little skill. These old fellows haven’t seen a young talent like you in a while." Huang Fusheng laughed.

Lu Jiu was amused, "Are you constantly praising me?"

Huang Fusheng said, "Not at all, just speaking the truth."

"Weren’t you the one in your twenties who mastered Mountain Burning Fire and Piercing Cold, integrated diagnostic and prescription skills, and even treated several cancer patients?"

Uh...

It is indeed the truth.

Huang Fusheng continued, "You, young man, are already as capable as many well-known veteran TCM practitioners, do you know that?"

"Moreover, you, young man, have some hidden skills, like the Navel Needle."

Lu Jiu scratched his head, "Still not particularly adept at it..."

Besides the initial White Tiger Three Needles, Lu Jiu had also acquired True Martial Three Needles, Cyan Dragon Three Needles, and Vermilion Bird Three Needles.

Although he had obtained three more Navel Needle techniques, Lu Jiu could only be considered to have a superficial understanding.

Yet, with these four techniques, Lu Jiu’s acupuncture skills have undoubtedly improved.

For example, the True Martial Three Needles, this set of Navel Needle techniques has therapeutic effects comparable to the Zhenwu Decoction, targeting symptoms of yang deficiency with water accumulation.

For patients with spleen and kidney yang deficiency, Lu Jiu previously needed to modify the Zhenwu Decoction, but after mastering the True Martial Three Needles, it was no longer necessary. The adjustments could be entirely compensated with the varying pressure and angles of acupuncture on certain points.

This acupuncture technique reduces the blood and energy depletion from medication for patients while demonstrating effects comparable to that of medications.

It truly accomplishes two goals with one action.

Apart from the Zhenwu Decoction, the Cyan Dragon Three Needles has similar attributes, corresponding to the classical prescription Great Cyan Dragon Decoction.

It is an exceptionally potent classical prescription.

Throughout history, during many epidemics, this prescription was often utilized, and for the most part, if the symptoms matched, results could be seen with a single dose.

Just like in the current epidemic, many people matching the symptoms of the Great Cyan Dragon Decoction self-medicated by preparing the prescription after watching online tutorials, and after consumption, they actually experienced relief from fevers and bodily aches, without any subsequent symptoms.

Some say it was luck and that they could recover even without medication.

Such debates often yield no conclusion.

However, the power of the Great Cyan Dragon Decoction is indisputable.

The Cyan Dragon Three Needles can rival the Great Cyan Dragon Decoction, though its effects extend beyond warming and releasing the exterior, offering special liver and gallbladder therapies.

For instance, patients with liver qi stagnation can benefit from the Cyan Dragon Three Needles, providing immediate relief from liver congestion symptoms.

As for the Vermilion Bird Three Needles, it’s a strong-fire acupuncture technique, highly effective for treating cold syndromes.

Its effect rivals the Mountain Burning Fire but is simpler than the Mountain Burning Fire.

"I don’t care if you’re familiar with it or not. Once you’re in Jinling, unleash your full potential. Don’t think about hiding your skills; it serves no purpose."

"The old folks at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association are all experts. Your task is to catch their attention. Once they recognize your potential and know you’re managing a pilot hospital in Jianghan, they might prioritize you for resources."

"Don’t underestimate these people’s connections. These individuals might not be widely known or even National Masters of Chinese Medicine, but some could, with just one word, provide our hospital with unimaginable funding and manpower."

"If you don’t want these opportunities, others will. Understand?"

Lu Jiu was invigorated, "Teacher, what should I do?"

Huang Fusheng laughed, "Be high-profile, as high-profile as possible!"
