Satisfied with Anji's aptitude for learning medicine, Doctor He finally taught Anji the more practical things. For the beginning test, he told Anji to use Lizi as a human doll to show him where all twelve meridians were. Diligently, Anji used Lizi as a demonstration. Some meridian channels were in embarrassing locations, so Anji exercised discretion and opted for pointing instead of touching her maid.
After an hour of quizzing, Doctor He Qiu deemed Anji ready for the next lesson. Lizi was a great test subject for learning basic diagnosis. In traditional medicine, pulse taking was only one of the many methods. It was usually the most accurate but also the one that needed the most experience. Instead, he decided to teach Anji some basic acupressure points. Cultivators usually learned about them because it helped them paralyse their opponents by clotting the qi in these important pathways.
