Chapter 1625: Chapter 1625 Luo Ziling’s Arrogance
Originally, everyone thought Luo Ziling would boastfully introduce the prowess of the Taiyi Divine Needle, flaunting his credentials as a successor, and brag about himself. Unexpectedly, Luo Ziling inford them that this was not the Taiyi Divine Needle, but their self-created “Luo’s Acupuncture Skill.”
No one knew what Luo’s Acupuncture Skill was, as no one had ever ntioned it before.
Well, this was indeed more arrogant than claiming to be a successor of the Taiyi Divine Needle.
Seeing everyone’s surprised expressions, Luo Ziling calmly introduced, “Our Luo’s Acupuncture Skill indeed originated from the Taiyi Divine Needle. My grandfather’s grandfather discovered many areas needing improvent after acquiring the Taiyi Divine Needle, so he began to ponder this acupuncture skill. After years of research by my grandfather’s grandfather, my grandfather’s father, my grandfather, and myself, many improvents were finally made. The skill beca more mature with better results but demanded higher proficiency from the practitioner.”
Luo Ziling paused his speech here.
Everyone listened quietly, waiting for Luo Ziling to continue.
But Luo Ziling didn’t say anything further; instead, he began packing his things.
Lin Lan also wanted to hear more from Luo Ziling, but upon seeing him pack, she realized he was teasing everyone, keeping them in suspense. So she imdiately helped him pack his things.
“Mr. Luo, you haven’t explained clearly how Luo’s Acupuncture Skill ca about, what improvents were made, what the taboos are, and which diseases are suitable for which type of acupuncture,” said a slightly portly, sowhat ethereal Japanese elder, unable to resist asking in Huaxia language: “We are very curious, what does the legendary Taiyi Divine Needle look like, and what is the complete skill like after your improvents?”
Luo Ziling didn’t answer but instead asked the elder: “Actually, without my previous demonstration, none of you would believe that I know such a miraculous acupuncture skill, right?”
Without waiting for the Japanese elder’s response, Luo Ziling added: “Your Huaxia language is quite excellent; you must visit Huaxia often, right? Anyway, no matter how hard I try, I can’t speak Japanese fluently; I can only manage to say ‘konnichiwa, sayonara.’
Luo Ziling’s words amused many people.
The Japanese elder understandably felt uncomfortable, as he could tell Luo Ziling was mocking him.
However, he was still impressed by Luo Ziling’s acupuncture skill, so he didn’t get angry and seriously responded: “I’ve always been interested in Huaxia civilization, so I studied Huaxia culture from a young age. I’ve visited Huaxia many tis, initially with my father and later on my own. I also admit to your previous question that without experiencing your acupuncture skill, no one would believe your ability in such a miraculous skill and its improvents.”
Saying this, he walked over to Luo Ziling and solemnly and respectfully bowed to him: “Thank you for allowing us to witness this miraculous acupuncture skill; I hope to have the opportunity to learn from you.”
This elder seed to have high prestige, as after bowing, several renowned Japanese traditional dicine experts also ca over and bowed to Luo Ziling.
Luo Ziling was quite surprised that they treated him with such respect.
It truly is a nation adept at learning, humbly acknowledging their deficiencies when encountering soone stronger, promptly offering respectful behavior. He also knew that they would inevitably request to learn from him. To prevent this request from occurring, he proactively spoke to block such requests.
“As everyone knows, regardless of what you learn, talent is required. So-called success comprises ninety-nine percent perspiration and one percent talent, but ninety-nine percent effort is not as important as one percent talent. Without talent in this area, even if you invest all your energy, significant achievent is impossible. I happen to have such talent, so my grandfather taught acupuncture from an early age, and I’ve surpassed his accomplishnts now. Of course, my grandfather’s skill is also impressive; the only reason I surpass him is my youthful speed and vision. However, my grandfather cautioned that this acupuncture skill is a Luo Family’s non-transferable art, unless one joins the Luo Family or serves us for generations; otherwise, they cannot be taught this skill.”
Luo Ziling’s words instantly stiffened the expressions of many, especially those from Japanese dicine circles who considered learning.
They assud that after his display of acupuncture skill and their formal admiration, a request to learn would surely be accepted by Luo Ziling. However, they hadn’t even had a chance to ask when Luo Ziling preemptively blocked it.
A few Japanese dicine experts exchanged glances for a while and eventually refrained from making the request despite their strong desire to learn.
Luo Ziling’s gaze returned to the little old man, smiling as he asked, “Mr. Vice President, how do you feel?”
“Just now when the cold wind blew, my head hurt and felt dizzy, but after Mr. Luo’s treatnt, such feelings completely disappeared,” the little old man straightforwardly replied: “I feel a warm current flowing throughout my body, without any feeling of dizziness. Thank you, Mr. Luo, for the treatnt; I express my gratitude in my personal capacity.”
The little old man’s words weren’t pretentious but heartful.
There was no insincerity nor did he use the opportunity to disparage Luo Ziling, which was comndable.
“You’re welco,” Luo Ziling shook hands with the little old man and said with a smile: “Helping the ill is the duty of a healer. I’m sure Mr. Vice President, as a healer, understands this.”
However, Luo Ziling was mistaken here. Although the little old man managed the dical departnt, his actual research was in the field of molecular diagnostics, which was associated with dicine but far removed from clinical practice.
He couldn’t treat illnesses; he was proficient only in molecular diagnostic technology. Yet, he did not refute Luo Ziling’s statent and earnestly nodded, “Indeed, it is so, with a healer’s heart akin to parental care, regardless of race or status.”
“Thank you once again, Mr. Luo,” the little old man bowed to Luo Ziling again and signaled that the subsequent activities could continue.
Due to Luo Ziling’s masterful dical demonstration, the Japanese personnel no longer displayed a superior posture. The little old man, as a vice president, regained vitality due to Luo Ziling’s treatnt, a feat unattainable by Japanese dicine experts. This fact alone shook the Japanese confidence.
However, they certainly wouldn’t allow Luo Ziling to trump them this way, imdiately rearranging plans to use Tokyo University’s accomplishnts to restore their status. While preparing for the upcoming academic discussions, many were already preparing because of the subsequent visits.
After the academic discussions comnced, several senior mbers from the Japanese dical field briefly introduced their achievents in traditional dicine before spontaneously requesting Luo Ziling to give a lecture, discussing his perspectives and expectations on traditional dicine, and sharing his accomplishnts.
The delegation leaders and Luo Ziling didn’t expect the Japanese side to accord him such high treatnt.
They acted respectfully toward Luo Ziling but also hoped he might make errors or beco confused during the lecture.
After all, Luo Ziling was very young and inexperienced; errors under nearly a hundred watchful eyes were quite normal.
If such a situation occurred, it could be exploited later.
