Despite the acupuncture process lasting only a brief ten minutes, for Nangong Ming and Wang Miaomiao, it felt like an intense battle, with a serious consumption of True Yuan, leaving them with a sense of utter exhaustion.
After withdrawing the needles, both of them simultaneously let out a long sigh of relief, wiped the beads of sweat from their foreheads, and took a moment to quietly regulate their breathing before continuing with the treatment using massage techniques.
Massage therapy, although seemingly simpler than acupuncture, is actually quite complex and profound, involving many aspects of medical knowledge, such as the meridian system, acupoints, and the subtleties of technique and pressure, etc. Only after mastering all this medical knowledge can one claim proficiency in massage therapy.
