Chapter 538: Chapter 367 The Key Issue is a Problem (Extra Update)_2

"What exactly should I do?" Mei Qingyuan was entirely puzzled. Even if Mu Lin explained it to him, he still felt somewhat confused.

Heh, heh, heh... It’s a little embarrassing indeed. He, a man who has been practicing medicine for decades, now must consult another doctor who is several generations younger than him, almost like his granddaughter. If word got out, he didn’t know if anyone would believe it, but he’d probably be laughed out of the room.

He was a grandmaster in the field of Chinese medicine, yet he was inferior to a young girl.

However, Mei Qingyuan stated that this young girl made him proud.

Mu Lin gave a slight smile, looking across several people before finally resting her gaze on Elder Mei. "Elder Mei, there is a saying in our world of Chinese medicine that I am sure you have heard before." A phrase so familiar he could recite it by heart.

Hearing this, Mei Qingyuan stared at Mu Lin, but he didn’t respond, simply waiting for her to continue.

"Since ancient times, this has been the philosophy of our Chinese medicine; the human body’s meridians complement each other. If the blood doesn’t circulate, numerous diseases occur. So no matter what symptoms present themselves, as long as the meridians are unblocked, the disease can be targeted directly."

"So from a young age, what I trained and practiced most was acupuncture; I read countless ancient texts, and to strengthen my hand’s force, my master was incredibly strict." Even hung several kilograms of things on each of her fingers. In those days, she experienced multiple fractures, gaining ample experience. However, for Mu Lin, that was the happiest time.

Because she loved it, no matter how much hardship she experienced, it was worth it.

In the field of Chinese medicine, the meridians of the human body are the pathways for the body’s circulation of Qi and blood. They reside within viscera and cover the whole body, connecting various tissues and organs into an organic whole. Hence, the reason why people are physically weak and easily fall ill is that their body’s Qi and blood circulation have not been unblocked.

The saying goes: If it flows, there is no pain; if it doesn’t flow, there is pain.

Therefore, Mu Lin always believed that as long as the body’s meridians are unblocked, there would be no significant issues, and any significant problem could be cured.

But there was once when Mu Jue taught her in the most practical way that this was not all there is to Chinese medicine. Her sight must reach much further, or she would only hinder her own progress.

Listening to Mu Lin’s words, Mei Qingyuan nodded in agreement.

Indeed, it is true.

Nevertheless.

Mu Lin slowly opened her mouth again, "Actually, it’s wrong. Or perhaps I should say, this is not the whole story."

Hearing Mu Lin’s slightly negating words, Mei Qingyuan unconsciously frowned, perplexed; he couldn’t understand why Mu Lin would be denying the thousands of years old theories of Chinese medicine established by their predecessors.

Mu Lin: "If we continue to use this method, we will have no solution to the poison in this old gentleman’s body."

"So, what should we do about it?" Although worried, Mei Qingyuan suddenly was very interested.

"Actually, it’s quite simple." Mu Lin’s smirk, as seen in Mei Qingyuan’s eyes, made him feel an inexplicable urge to punch her.

Simple, my foot, she was again starting to beat around the bush. Haven’t they been anxious on the sidelines for long enough?

Only to hear Mu Lin continue: "What I meant was, the method is quite simple." While the difficult part was the herbs; most of them were quite ordinary, but there were a couple which were rather rare; at least for now, she only had a bit on hand.

This was what she had picked from the jungle during the mission this time.

Mu Lin looked towards the elder and suddenly asked: "Do you have many enemies?" In fact, she had been wanting to ask this question for a while now, "And they hold deep grudges against you." Otherwise, why would they use such a cumbersome method to torment him?

Hearing the question, the elder laughed, "You could say that." Sitting in a position like his, there are many people who are displeased with him, desiring to take his place. If we were to really talk about it, it may be said that he has enemies all over.

Moreover, all his enemies are experts at concealing themselves and would interact with him on a daily basis with masks on their faces.

Mu Lin sympathized, as she was in the same boat. Oh, how they shared the same misery!

Mu Lin: "No wonder." She was just saying, "Although it’s slightly inappropriate for me to say this now but I must admit, the person who poisoned you indeed has quite some patience."

The elder was left speechless.

Is she praising his enemy? The expression of admiration on her face left the elder at a loss for words.

What kind of blunt truth is she saying!

In fact, the moment he learned that the venom that had been living inside him for ten years, elder’s initial impression of the person who attacked him wasn’t different from Mu Lin’s.

Well, a truly patient person indeed.

Next moment, Mu Lin continued: "I’ve just had a look at you. Based on what you’ve said, coupled with the symptoms gradually appearing on your body, generally speaking, at most, you could hold on for another two years. Perhaps, even less than two years. Then, you would die a peaceful death."

"By then, everyone would believe that you died a natural death, and they definitely won’t be able to find any reasons." Just like today.

"For some people, this would be the perfect outcome, wouldn’t it?" Sarcasm riddled the corners of the elder’s mouth.

"Perhaps." Mu Lin gave a breezy laugh, "However, I don’t know what kind of person you are, or what your world is like; but compared to you, I guess I am not in a much better state."

"However." The next moment, the corners of Mu Lin’s mouth suddenly grew cold, "Most of those people are basically dead by now."

"As for these hands of mine that save people..."
