Chapter 1166 - Chapter 1166 Chapter 1166 Looked Down Upon Again

Chapter 1166: Chapter 1166: Looked Down Upon Again Chapter 1166: Chapter 1166: Looked Down Upon Again Luo Ziling told Yang Qingyin the time of his lecture, and she said she’d come to audit his class before it started.

Luo Ziling hoped that Yang Qingyin could be by his side because it would help him resist the temptation of Huang Menglan.

Around three o’clock in the afternoon, Yang Qingyin appeared at the venue very discreetly.

She was wearing a dark trench coat and large-framed glasses on her nose, probably not wanting to show her pretty face, so she let her long hair fall loosely.

However, even though her face was mostly covered, her ethereal aura was undeniable. She came in during the lecture and chose a seat at the back, but her entrance still attracted many glances.

Huang Menglan, also sitting at the back, noticed Yang Qingyin immediately and recognized her, her heart skipping a beat.

Then, she became very angry.

However, Yang Qingyin ignored her and, after glancing her way, looked away.

At this time, Luo Ziling was preparing for his upcoming lecture and thus was not sitting in the audience.

Wu Mingyun, the host of the meeting, introduced Luo Ziling’s achievements with great enthusiasm.

He described him as the heir to the Taiyi Divine Needle, who had made a big splash at the last traditional medicine conference, earning the admiration of the attendees and the recognition of everyone for his medical expertise, and more importantly, he was still very young.

As Wu Mingyun introduced him, Luo Ziling walked onto the stage from behind the scenes.

So, this was the guy, many couldn’t help but marvel.

They had assumed Luo Ziling was just a handsome boy who was popular with the girls.

They did not expect such a young person to be so well-versed in traditional medicine and to have won over those old scholars of traditional medicine. How could they not be shocked?

But many more were curious and skeptical.

Seeing is believing, as they say, and without having witnessed Luo Ziling’s medical expertise, they remained doubtful.

Many people were resentful.

They had disliked Luo Ziling from the start.

Why should this guy be favored by the prettiest girl among the guests, spending all his time with her?

Driven by jealousy, they found Luo Ziling disagreeable in every way.

The applause was half-hearted, which made Wu Mingyun slightly embarrassed.

Fortunately, he had made some preparations for Luo Ziling.

Just as Luo Ziling walked to the front, the projector played a clip from the First Affiliated Hospital of Yan University Medical College, where Luo Ziling, against all advice, used his unique acupuncture skill and medication to help patients with difficult-to-control respiratory diseases recover.

In the latter part of the clip, several authoritative figures in the medical field gave their evaluations and recognized his medical skill.

After watching the video, many people’s doubts were somewhat alleviated, and the applause warmed up a bit.

“I know that many of you are surprised, even incredulous, to see me come up here to lecture,” Luo Ziling took over the microphone and started with a bit of self-deprecation, “I won’t hide it from you; I am currently a freshman at Yan University Medical School and have just begun my studies in modern medicine.”

As soon as Luo Ziling made his remarks, a murmur of astonishment rippled through the audience.

Soon, whispers started to swell, and some attendees, visibly upset, stood up to express their dissatisfaction.

This was a high-level seminar on integrating Chinese and Western medicine, Was a medical student, barely knowledgeable in Western medicine, qualified to lecture them?

This put Wu Mingyun, the meeting’s moderator, in an awkward position. He had thought that after showing the video, everyone would recognize Luo Ziling’s medical skills. Yet Luo Ziling’s introduction had inflamed the audience once more.

But Luo Ziling was unfazed, declaring in a robust voice, “Although my study is grounded in traditional medicine, I have never excluded learning modern medicine in my practice. Indeed, since I started studying medicine at the age of five, my education has not been limited to traditional medicine. I’ve learned everything, including surgery and anesthesia. Of course, diagnosing conditions through pulse reading and treating them with traditional methods including acupuncture is my forte.”

Luo Ziling’s voice was commanding, quickly silencing the hubbub of the crowd.

“Of course, it’s quite normal for you to be skeptical as you haven’t witnessed my medical skills. So, how about this,” Luo Ziling looked around the room, smiling, “if possible, let me demonstrate my techniques in combining Chinese and Western medicine right here. If anyone here is feeling unwell, I can offer you treatment on the spot, free of charge.”

Luo Ziling’s offer provoked some good-natured laughter and applause.

It didn’t take long for someone to volunteer to be Luo Ziling’s “guinea pig.”

She was a middle-aged woman from the southern Gui Province.

The weather in the north is very dry and cold, and the rooms are well-heated. She was struggling to adapt; after two days, she slept poorly, felt fatigued, and her lips were chapped.

So, in full view of everyone, Luo Ziling performed acupuncture on the middle-aged woman.

Consequently, all present witnessed Luo Ziling’s dazzling display of acupuncture skill.

Most attendees were accomplished in the field of Western medicine with little interest from the traditional medical community in such meetings. Hence, few were practiced in acupuncture, and many had only cursory knowledge of traditional medicine.

Witnessing Luo Ziling’s public acupuncture session, they watched in stunned amazement, their surprise evident.

“It’s incredible, I feel so much better already,” the middle-aged woman exclaimed with joy after Luo Ziling finished the treatment, “It’s like that refreshing feeling you get from drinking iced watermelon in the middle of a hot summer.”

The power of a good example is immeasurable. After the middle-aged woman stepped up, several others approached the stage, wanting Luo Ziling to treat them.

They were from the south, struggling to adapt to the dry, cold climate of the north, and the excessive indoor heating was also difficult for them to bear.

After receiving Luo Ziling’s treatment, they vocally praised his incredible medical skills, as they instantly felt much better.

One person on stage could be suspected of staging a performance, but after more than a dozen people came forward with similar praise for Luo Ziling’s skills, this was largely enough to convince the crowd.

Then, Wu Mingyun stepped forward to speak, praising Luo Ziling’s public demonstration of his medical skills and encouraged Luo Ziling to share his thoughts with everyone.

“Traditional medicine is capable of treating many illnesses that modern medicine cannot, and by combining traditional medicine with modern medicine, many challenges can be overcome.” Luo Ziling shared his views openly, “The current approach to combining Chinese and Western medicine often just superficially adopts the integration, mainly employing modern medical techniques while merely paying lip service to traditional medicine. The problem lies in the insufficient study of traditional medicine.”

“If the healer is profoundly skilled in traditional medicine, then in the treatment combining Chinese and Western medicine, modern medicine should only serve as an auxiliary to traditional methods. Ultimately, it’s the traditional approaches that provide true healing,” he continued.

No one expected Luo Ziling to extol traditional medicine to such a degree, leaving many completely astonished.
