Li Xu took a deep breath, gathering his thoughts.
As if seeing through Li Xu's hesitation, Qin Ming didn't press him, but continued to speak.
"Dean Li, in truth, I've been researching acupuncture anesthesia for several decades now."
"Sigh… I can't compare to your innate talent, Dean Li. At such a young age, you've already reached the grandmaster level described in the ancient texts—the state where the effect is as immediate as the arrival of qi."
"Frankly, the way you alter needling intensity and acupoint combinations, flexibly applying the TCM theories of obtaining, guiding, and preserving qi to control the anesthetic effect with the precision of your own limbs… I was truly astounded. It felt like I was witnessing the mastery of my teacher's generation from decades ago, perhaps even surpassing it."
