Chapter: 1617
It's just a way for her to slip her vital energy into the patient's body to replace the patient's vital energy with her own. Think of it a bit like the blood transfusion process of modern medicine. The goal here is to restore the patient's body completely."
After hearing Mr. Barnes' explanation of the process, Jaxon was even more perplexed. He couldn't help saying, "In modern medicine, blood transfusions are very common, and it does not require any special skills..
"You are really ignorant!" Mr. Barnes sneered. This time however, he was not angry.
“Let me ask you, if you have to transfuse blood to a patient, will you just stick the needles in any part of the patient's body regardless of the patient's physical condition?" Mr. Barnes asked Jaxon calmly.
"Well... Of course not," Jaxon replied.
He seemed to understand the point Mr. Barnes was trying to make. At this time, large beads of sweat ran down Jaxon's forehead.
Mr. Barnes continued to explain, "The three acupoints the medical expert in your video chose are respectively in the middle of the patient's body and in his head, right? Although these are quite sensitive acupuncture points, she dares to stimulate them because she is certain that she will not hurt the patient at all. Even I would be very careful in using such a method.
Additionally, the fact that she uses her own life energy to treat the patient's stubborn illness is a true testament to her skills. To achieve this requires a high level of skill in ancient martial arts medicine. Do you think martial arts medicine is easy to harness? Are you thinking someone can just practice it for a couple of years and then cure any disease?"
Jaxon felt a sudden jolt of realization.
He whispered to himself, "Oh no! I just made trouble for Maria. It seemed I had offended a big shot. Is it too late to regret it now?
Or perhaps, I didn't go too far just now. Maria wouldn't bother to get even with me, right?"
Then, Mr. Barnes questioned, “Hey, we've been talking for quite a while, and you've yet to say who it is. I might not know every healer in martial arts medicine, but I know quite a few. If not in person, then at least by their fame. You don't have to give me the full name. Just the family name will do."
Mr. Barnes's words sounded a little pretentious.
Mr. Barnes guessed it was a low-key healer whose name he might never hear of, which would be a blow to his pride if Jaxon found out he didn't recognize the person.
Therefore, Mr. Barnes decided to ask for the person's family name, hoping it would be one he knew to save face.
Feeling the heat, Jaxon quickly answered, "Her family name is Jenkins."
"Jenkins? Really?"
There was a note of letdown in Mr. Barnes's voice.
Jaxon caught the shift in his tone, realizing Mr. Barnes felt a pang of disappointment.
In fact, Mr. Barnes had hoped for a chance to make a new ally if the name was new to him. It was better to have a friend than an enemy.
But hearing the surname Jenkins, Mr. Barnes couldn't hide his dismay!
“Yes, her family name is Jenkins. That's the truth." Jaxon hesitated before he ventured, “Is there really such a family in the world of martial arts?"
In fact, Jaxon wanted to ask if Mr. Barnes had heard of it.
“Well, the Jenkins family from Broome? Of course, I've heard of them."
