Guan Family’s ancestors practiced medicine for generations. They have a lot of medical classic books, which were unique in this world. However, Bai Zhi didn’t have much interest after reading a book. They were all medical books compiled in modern times. She has read them and they were indeed useful. The knowledge was also there, but not too much.
Before Bai Zhi had finished looking through the record book, Imperial Doctor Xu had already found the Mistaken Theory of Acupuncture from the shelf, “I found it, here it is.” Imperial Doctor Xu showed the blue book in front of Bai Zhi.
On the blue book cover, there were blurred “Mistaken Theory of Acupuncture” letters written on it.
Bai Zhi quickly took it and searched the page of chapter 4 she remembered.
She remembered that the chapter she had read in modern times was about the nine-yin and nine-yang acupuncture methods.
Turning to Chapter 4, a line of words, which a bit larger than the others fell into her eyes, ‘Nine Yin and Nine Yang Acupuncture Method’.
Sure enough, it was the same as what she had read in modern times. It was such a thick book, but there was only a small part of it in modern times. Only half of Chapter 4: The nine-yin and nine-yang only exist. According to that half of the content, the three-yin acupuncture method was already infinitely useful. If she can learn all these nine-yin and nine-yang acupuncture methods, her medical skills will surely rise to the next level.
“It’s this, Master Guan, can I take this book away?” Bai Zhi was overjoyed and hurriedly said to Master Guan.
Master Guan nodded immediately: “Of course, as I said, this medical book belongs to the Imperial Hospital Library. It is justified to return it. Besides, there is no one practicing medicine in the Guan Family now. Although these medical books are good, if they stay here, they will only be covered with dust.”
“Not only this. If there is a medical book that you want here, you can also take it.”
Bai Zhi admires Master Guan. No wonder that their Guan family’s business can be so big, it’s not just luck.
After saying goodbye to Master Guan, Bai Zhi rushed inside the carriage to return to the Imperial Hospital. She couldn’t wait to read this book. When she turned the page to Chapter 9, things suddenly became clear in front of her. The few elegant lower case letters made her ecstatic.
“Xuan Acupoints!” She couldn’t help but read it out loud. When Imperial Doctor Xu, who was next to her, heard her say it, he stretched out his head to take a look: “What about Xuan Acupoints?”
Bai Zhi replied: “I’ve only heard about this Xuan acupoints. But this book has detailed information about the Xuan Acupoints in the human body, and said that some special intractable diseases can be cured through these Xuan acupoints.”
Imperial Doctor Xu also became very interested in the book when he heard of it. He took the book in Bai Zhi’s hand and read a few words carefully. The more he read, the more excited he became: “This, this, these mysterious points really exist? Why there is no record of it in other medical books?”
Bai Zhi replied: “This is Han Guzi’s original method. Not many people know it. We’re lucky enough for this medical book to be passed down. The profound method in this book is extremely difficult to learn. It requires people with extremely high acupuncture skills. Very few people can learn this, so the number of people who know this method will become less and less.”
Imperial Doctor Xu looked puzzled: “Normally, such a treasure passed down from generation to generation should be widely known. But why only a few people aware of it? There were even rumors saying that it is a crooked idea. Therefore, many doctors are reluctant to read it. Even I didn’t want to read it before.”
“Doctor Guan has borrowed this book for so many years. I don’t know if he mastered the skill mentioned in this book.” Imperial Doctor Xu said with full of emotion. Doctor Guan’s medical skills were excellent, but his descendants have gone into business and didn’t pass down his medical skills. They didn’t even have an apprentice.

Yes, I have tried acupuncture to treat my frozen elbow. It’s like a needle prick. However if it feels very painful, it may mean that the acupuncture needle is not inserted correctly into the acupoint.
Depends. Most of the time, the pain means the treatment is working. Gotta go to a reputable acupuncturist though!
must protect the precious book and make a few copies
thank you
