Song Xiaodong merely quietly displayed his skill a little. After achieving the desired effect, he gently twiddled his index and middle fingers, spread his palm open again, and the silver needle that was there moments ago had disappeared.
Such a skill is hard to discern as real or fake. If Song Xiaodong can indeed bend a silver needle from thin air, then used in medical skill, those two silver needles could be transformed into omnipotent scalpels, as dexterous as fingers if used properly. Wouldn't such a person qualify as a Divine Doctor?
But if what Song Xiaodong demonstrated is nothing more than a trick, not a real skill, then he would be nothing but a fraud, no different than those qigong masters with Special Abilities who were exposed on television earlier. As the saying goes, don't look at advertisements, look at effectiveness. Acupuncture is ultimately for treating illnesses. Simply bending acupuncture needles doesn't count as a skill; curing illnesses does.
