Chapter 951: Nine hundred and forty-six incurable diseases

"I have lung cancer."

As he uttered these words, Gu Chen’s lips twitched slightly.

Immediately, his gaze shifted to Wei Tianfu, his eyes carrying a hint of disbelief.

He had completely not expected Wei Tianfu to refer such a patient to him.

To think it was a lung cancer patient—there was no need to delve into what that entailed.

It was practically a terminal illness, incurable.

Why would he refer such a patient to me?

At that moment, Gu Chen couldn’t grasp what Wei Tianfu was truly up to.

And Wei Tianfu, upon hearing this, showed no expression whatsoever.

He still looked steadfastly at Gu Chen, as if he had unwavering faith that Gu Chen could solve this problem.

At this juncture, Gu Chen really didn’t know what to say next.

He had not anticipated such a diagnosis.

If he had known earlier, he would not have answered so confidently just now.

Lung cancer, this incurable disease, was truly beyond his grasp of a good solution.

So, at this time, his face was filled with hesitation.

Unsure of how to proceed.

His faint expression, of course, did not escape Uncle Ye’s notice.

Seeing Gu Chen’s demeanor, Uncle Ye was not the slightest bit surprised.

Instead, he laughed and said to Gu Chen,

"What’s the matter? Realized how difficult it is, haven’t you? Planning to retreat in the face of such difficulty, right?"

He said so, laughing cheerfully.

It was as if he didn’t hold Gu Chen in high regard at all.

Mainly because his own medical condition was indeed very complicated.

He was well aware of his own lung cancer, so numerous doctors had been stumped.

He couldn’t believe that Gu Chen would come up with any solution.

And at this very moment, Gu Chen himself also truly had no solution.

He had never attempted to treat lung cancer before.

However, he thought this disease should be similar to leukemia.

Even, he felt that leukemia might be more severe than this lung cancer.

After all, leukemia meant certain death, but with this diagnosis,

there might be a possibility of surviving.

Of course, all this was mere speculation on his part.

As for the actual situation, he wasn’t very clear.

"We could give it a try, but I can’t say for certain about the effectiveness of the medicine.

If you’re willing to give it a shot, I can assist with the treatment," Gu Chen said, without holding much hope.

After all, things had already progressed to this point, and pondering over futilities was not his style.

So he simply put it bluntly, and after voicing that,

he saw Uncle Ye still looked somewhat skeptical.

It seemed he hadn’t expected that even under these circumstances,

Gu Chen would still insist on giving it a try.

In that moment, he couldn’t quite discern if Gu Chen was unaware of the gravity of the situation or just senseless.

But when Wei Tianfu heard Gu Chen say they could try,

he too breathed a sigh of relief.

There wasn’t much else he feared, but the one thing he felt slightly anxious about

was whether Gu Chen would be willing to give it a try.

Because in his view, just attempting it could perhaps lead to a new hope.

But if you don’t attempt it at all, how could you know whether it’s feasible or not?

Gu Chen said they could give it a try, and Wei Tianfu believed that Gu Chen surely could cure the disease.

As for the rest, he couldn’t care less.

And so, Gu Chen did not continue to watch.

Because no matter how much more he looked, it was meaningless; he just needed to understand what the illness was.

Then, he could go back and find the necessary Chinese herbs.

Essentially, the most important thing for treating the illness still relied on the Spiritual Spring.

If the Spiritual Spring was of no use, then he had no other means.

"What’s the matter, young master, not going to take another look? Are you certain you want to conclude things so hastily?"

He asked Gu Chen this in a tone that seemed as if he were joking with him.

Although he did not regard Gu Chen highly at this time,

Gu Chen still took him very seriously.

Gu Chen responded directly to his earlier question.

"There’s no need to keep looking.

I have understood your physical condition, and I will tailor a treatment plan for you next."

Gu Chen continued speaking at this time.

He needed to go back and prepare the Chinese medicine properly, as for the rest,

it all depended on what fate had in store for the old master.

And when the old master heard what Gu Chen said,

he seemed a bit perplexed, as if he had not expected that under these circumstances,

Gu Chen would still resolutely say he wanted to continue with the treatment.

So, he directly questioned Gu Chen.

"Are you certain you have that ability? If you have no solutions,

and purposely let an old man like me consume so much useless stuff,

the consequences you’ll have to face later on need not be spelled out by me."

He spoke directly to Gu Chen with determination and conviction evident in his eyes,

as if he would skin Gu Chen alive for any slight mistakes.

After hearing this, Gu Chen felt nothing in particular and simply replied calmly,

"I am quite positive that this is the only way to resolve your issue.

If you are unwilling to give it a try,

frankly, with your condition, you can only wait for death.

But it’s by trying that you will have a chance to survive.

Of course, whether to try or not is completely up to you,

it’s all in your hands.

If you want to give it a shot, you can, if not,

nobody can force you to do anything.

Right? Think it over and then give me your answer.

My time is ample."

Gu Chen knew full well what kind of person the old master was,

yet his answers were still incredibly firm,

without a hint of hesitation.

As if he didn’t put the old master’s status in his eyes at all.

Upon hearing Gu Chen’s response, the old master felt incredulous,

seemingly completely unaware that Gu Chen would reply with such firmness.

It was because he sensed an air of stubborn independence in Gu Chen,

as if he didn’t take his status seriously at all.

This made him even more curious about Gu Chen, you could say that among the many people he’d met,

he didn’t expect Gu Chen would dare to speak to him in such a way.

After all, it had been so long since anyone dared to speak to him like that.

It felt somewhat unfamiliar to hear it now.

But then he continued in his indifferent tone,

"Good, then I’d like to see how you plan to treat me."
