Chapter 645 Acupuncture of Five Elements
John was amazed that she was able to sense it.
John looked at Alice in amazement and asked, “Alice, have you really sensed something special about the bloodline
flowing through my veins?”
“No, not really. I just sensed that your aura is different from that of others,” Alice replied with a smile.
“I knew I shouldn’t have expected too much from you,” John said, disappointed.
John was speechless and then said, “Actually, I don’t need you to sense my aura. Anyone who knows me knows that
my aura is exceptional.”
*John, you have a thick skin.”
Alice smiled seductively, her red lips glistening. “In my perception, your demeanor is absolutely that of a super
invincible rogue, unmatched by anyone.”
John was feeling frustrated. He didn’t understand why Alice kept teasing him.
Gritting his teeth, John thought that if it weren’t for being on someone else’s place, he would pin Alice to the ground
and show her what a true rogue’s demeanor was.
“To be honest, what are you planning to do about the problem with that girl’s bracelet?” Alice asked, her tone
serious.
“What do you mean what am I planning to do? She won’t die anytime soon, and I’m not just sitting around. I’ll
remind her once, but whether she listens or not is up to her. Everyone has their own fate,” John replied.
“It’s true. If you tell her directly like that, she might even think you’re crazy and meddling in her affairs.” Alice
agreed
The two of them stopped talking about this topic, and at this time, Keaton had already made tea and had
come over.
Although John wasn’t pleasing to the eye, Keaton still handed him a cup. As they were both US citizens and had
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcome to the Misericordia Clinic together, Keaton felt he couldn’t deny John a drink.
Moreover, Keaton felt there would be no further interaction between him and John in the future, so there was
no need to be so petty.
Therefore, Keaton just gave Alice a few words of advice and began talking about other things.
No matter how bad John’s behavior was, it was a matter between him and his girlfriend. Speaking too much would
only make Keaton appear overly concerned.
After chatting for a while, a middle-aged man suddenly walked in and said, “Mr. Hutchinson? Are you
entertaining guests?”
Seeing John and his friend in the lounge, the middle-aged man hesitated for a moment and prepared to
leave
Keaton, however, said nonchalantly, “It’s okay. They’re just two fellow US citizens. Owen, come on in!”
The middle-aged man was Owen Mcmillan, the vice president of the Powell Association.
He had a tough appearance with a thin scar at the corner of his eye, but at the moment, he looked at Keaton with
great respect.
After coming in, he first politely greeted John and his friend, then began speaking with Keaton in his native
language.
After a while, Keaton said to Alice, “Ms. Moon, please wait a moment. I’ll finish treating him with acupuncture.”
Owen became interested in traditional medicine because he had a firsthand experience of its miraculous
effects.
He had injured his arm early on, and the injury had become chronic, causing occasional lingering pain. He had
spent a long time receiving treatment at the hospital but with no effect.
Until an accidental opportunity led him to Misericordia Clinic, Keaton treated him with acupuncture, and the
symptoms showed a significant improvement.
Since then, Owen became fascinated with traditional medicine and became Keaton’s disciple.
Now, his arm hadn’t had any dull pain for a long time, only occasional numbness, which was normal.
Owen only needed to come to Keaton regularly for acupuncture, and gradually the symptoms would
disappear.
Keaton quickly brought a set of tools and treated Owen skillfully, with techniques no worse than those of
Holbrook.
If one could come all the way to Australia to promote the traditional medicine culture of the US, how could
one not have any skills?
John watched as Keaton applied acupuncture and softly said, “Acupuncture of Five Elements.”
“Oh? You actually know Acupuncture of Five Elements?”
Keaton looked at John in surprise, very unexpectedly, and although John had poor behavior, he had a lot of
knowledge and could recognize what type of acupuncture therapy he was using.
Keaton found it very incredible, but he was only amazed for a moment and asked, “How much do you know about
Acupuncture of Five Elements?”
John smiled and didn’t answer.
Keaton didn’t mind, thinking that he only knew the name of acupuncture therapy, perhaps having seen
someone perform it before. If he was asked to explain it, he wouldn’t be able to say much.
Keaton didn’t bother with John any longer.
After the acupuncture was finished, Owen thanked them and left.
Keaton tidied up and sat back down, but this time he took the initiative to chat with John, saying, “Who have you
seen perform this acupuncture therapy before?”
John shook his head and said, “I haven’t seen anyone perform it before. I just know how to do it myself.”
Keaton only asked John casually, without any intention of chatting with him, but upon hearing this, his expression
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmfroze.
“You know how to do it?”
Keaton’s eyes became a little strange as he said, “Young man, if you were to say you saw it in a medical book, I
would believe you. But if you say you know how to do it, that’s a bit ridiculous.”
Knowing a set of acupuncture therapy was not just about remembering specific methods and doing them according
to what the book said.
Specific techniques needed to be emphasized during treatment, such as strength, angle, and depth, all of which
would affect the effectiveness of the treatment.
In other words, even if the same set of acupuncture therapy was used, using different methods could result in no
effect, even if done according to what was written in the book.
That was not called knowing how to do it.
Keaton thought since John said he hadn’t seen anyone perform it before, it meant that he must have seen it in a
medical book and probably only remembered a few corresponding acupoints.
This was of no use.
If acupuncture were so simple, where would the magic come from?
So Keaton thought John’s words were pure boasting.
Keaton shook his head in disappointment.
He thought John was really unreliable.
John didn’t rush to explain but smiled and said. “Actually, this set of Acupuncture of Five Elements is a bit outdated,
and many of the acupoints are not necessary to be punctured.”
“You ignorant boy, what nonsense are you talking about?”
Keaton had been patient in talking to John, but John’s words just now seemed to have touched his nerves, and he
suddenly showed a hint of anger.
