Even though the old man’s condition seemed to improve massively after the young girl performed acupuncture for him, this was only superficial.
Lord Moore had a lot of old injuries and wounds on his body and his muscles and veins had already been ruined a lot time ago. He also suffered from a blood deficiency syndrome and some of his organs had been somewhat exhausted because his organs had been overworking. The young girl’s diagnosis and treatment only cured his symptoms without getting to the root of the cause.
Lord Moore looked much better externally but his real condition was currently suppressed. After two days, he would definitely suffer a relapse and at that time, his symptoms would definitely be more severe and very life-threatening to him.
The so-called genius young doctor was only allowing him to live at least two to three days longer.
As soon as he saw this, Joe decided that he had to take action immediately. He stepped forward before he picked up a silver needle by the bed and said, “The old man still has a hidden disease in his body. Please allow me to perform acupuncture for him.”
When the middle-aged man saw Joe attempting to perform acupuncture for the old man, he was extremely shocked and he wanted to stop him immediately. However, the man could only frown and he froze in place when he saw how skillful Joe was.
At this time, Reuben lost his temper and he yelled at Joe, “Hey! What do you think you’re doing right now?”
Joe simply replied, “Lord Moore has an old illness that had already been pent up in his body for a long time. I will try to get rid of the illness for him so his internal organs can be reshaped and function properly again. Otherwise, he won’t be able to live for more than three days.”
“What are you talking about?” Reuben was extremely angry at this time and he continued shouting at Joe, “Are you cursing my grandfather? I’m going to kill you!”
Jasmine hurriedly stepped forward before she said, “Brother, please do not cause any trouble. Just give Mr. Smith the opportunity to treat Grandpa.”
“Am I the one who is causing trouble right now?” Reuben replied angrily. “You can rest assured leaving Grandpa in his hands but I do not have your courage! Are you trying to kill Grandpa?”
Jasmine replied in a cold manner, “I trust Mr. Smith’s skills. I’ll take full responsibility if Mr. Smith makes any mistakes!”
“How can you take any responsibility for this?”
Joe did not even raise his head but he simply continued performing the acupuncture on Lord Moore. He moved his hands in a very delicate manner before supplementing his moves with a little reiki before piercing the old man’s body with the needles.
When the young girl saw that Joe was really performing acupuncture for Lord Moore, the expression on her face changed immediately. She quickly stepped forward to stop Joe. “Hey, young man! Stop whatever you’re doing. If anything happens to him, you won’t be able to shoulder this responsibility!”
At this time, Anthony suddenly stopped her and said in a deep voice, “Stop it! Do not disturb him!”
The young girl replied anxiously, “Grandpa, if he makes a mistake, he’ll only cause more harm to the patient!”
Anthony replied in a deep voice, “Xyla, look carefully at the technique he’s using to administer the needles!”
When Xyla heard her grandfather’s words, she quickly turned around to observe Joe’s hand.
Xyla was surprised and dumbfounded when she saw that Joe was using the same technique that she had used earlier!
She hastily replied, “How can he be so shameless? He’s using the same technique that I was using earlier! Did he copy and steal my technique by watching me earlier?”
Anthony had a very calm expression on his face at this time. He only spoke up a few seconds later. “Look clearly again. Pay close attention to his gestures and movement.”
The young girl looked at Joe for a little longer and she muttered in shock, “He…what is he…”
Xyla immediately recognized that the acupuncture technique Joe was using was indeed the same Heavenly Thousand Needles acupuncture technique that had been passed down from generation to generation in the Simmons family. Even though his moves looked almost the same as her acupuncture method earlier, after taking a closer look, Xyla could tell that there were some differences in their techniques.
This…
Was this an upgraded version of the Heavenly Thousand Needles acupuncture technique?
Xyla was horrified and she quickly asked her grandfather, “Grandpa! How could he possibly know of our family’s acupuncture technique?”
Anthony simply nodded because he was already mesmerized by Joe’s skills at this time. He continued watching Joe with a look of admiration on his face before he replied, “Unexpectedly, this young man seems to be a master of a combination of medicine and martial arts! His hand was very steady when he inserted the needle and only a person with more than fifty years of experience would ever be able to have such steady internal reiki! I really did not expect someone as young as this man to be able to surpass my skills at this age!”
The young girl was very unconvinced at this time. “Grandpa, I’m certain that I’ll definitely be able to surpass him!”
Anthony sighed as he continued staring at Joe in admiration. “If I am not mistaken, this young man is performing the full set of the Heavenly Thousand Needles acupuncture technique. There are a few steps of the Heavenly Thousand Needles acupuncture technique that has been missing from the Simmons family for many generations. I really did not expect there to be someone capable of performing the complete technique today!”
After that, Anthony glanced at his granddaughter before he said, “Let’s not talk about you first! Even my own spiritual energy cannot be compared to this young man’s even if I were to practice for another fifty years!”
“It’s just a few more acupuncture steps, how much difference can it make?” the young girl muttered under her breath.
She had to prove that she was superior to Joe. “Grandpa, so what if he knows a few more steps to the Heavenly Thousand Needles acupuncture technique? I had the highest grade in medical school and I am well-versed in acupuncture and massage techniques. I don’t believe that he’ll be better than me in everything! I am going to demand for a one-on-one competition with him later!”
Anthony could only shake his head helplessly when he saw his granddaughter’s aggressive reaction. “I don’t think you’ll ever be able to defeat him.”
After a short while, Joe was finally done performing acupuncture for the old man. After that, Joe said lightly, “Lord Moore will wake up in less than half an hour. After the acupuncture that I’ve performed for him today, I can guarantee that he’ll live a healthy life for at least another five years!”
Reuben could not stop himself from blurting out, “You really are full of rubbish! The most prestigious American doctor had already said that my grandfather will only be able to live for another month or less. Do you really think you have the ability to extend my grandfather’s life for another five years? How can you be so full of yourself?”
Joe replied in a cold manner, “Because I am Joe Smith.”
“Boo!” Reuben sneered. “You’re not a master and you’re not a doctor! If anything happens to my grandfather, I’ll make sure that you pay for your actions today!”
Anthony’s granddaughter also stepped up and said unceremoniously, “Hey! Who are you and which medical clinic or hospital are you from? Where did you learn medicine from?”
Joe turned around and replied, “I’m not from any medical clinic or hospital and I did not learn medicine.”
The young girl was very surprised and she continued asking, “What? That’s impossible! Where did you learn this acupuncture technique from then?”
Joe smiled before he said, “That is my own personal matter and I do not wish to reply to that question.”
The young girl reluctantly said, “This is my family’s ancestral acupuncture method that has been passed down for many generations. I have to find out where you learned it from so others will not steal my family’s technique and pass it off as their own!”
“Xyla! Don’t be rude to Mr. Smith!” Anthony reprimanded his granddaughter immediately. After that, he stepped forward before he spoke to Joe in a respectful manner, “Mr. Smith, my granddaughter lost her parents when she was just a young girl. I was the one who brought her up so please forgive her if she was disrespectful to you.”
