Chapter 228: Chapter 0228: Brother is an Experienced Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner (Part 2)

Long Fei approached calmly, addressing Master Shen, "Elder gentleman, this junior has also briefly studied some Chinese medicine. I wonder if you would trust this junior to take a look?"

Elder Shen replied indifferently, "Take a seat. I’m well aware of my own condition. It’s fine if you can take a look, and it’s fine if you can’t—consider it a contribution to the field of medicine!"

Long Fei and everyone in the hall chuckled, not expecting the elder gentleman to be so optimistic and open-minded.

He sat down by the bed and placed his hand on the elder gentleman’s wrist.

Lin Yingying, An Taiyan, and An Xiaoke widened their eyes, having never seen Long Fei treat anyone before, nor had they heard that he had studied Chinese medicine!

Long Fei cautioned the elder gentleman, "Elder gentleman, you will feel a warm current entering your body shortly. Do not resist it; just go with the flow."

He could tell that Elder Shen was also a practitioner and warned him in advance, fearing that Elder Shen’s energy might counter his own.

"I understand," replied Elder Shen, nodding his head; seeing Long Fei’s confident demeanor, he felt an inexplicable surge of hope in his heart.

Could there really be hope for curing his chronic affliction?

The elder gentleman furrowed his brows and closed his eyes, letting Long Fei proceed with the treatment.

Essential Qi burst from Long Fei’s fingertips, seeping into Elder Shen’s wrist.

Elder Shen’s brow twitched as the Essential Qi was released and retracted so freely, truly astonishing to witness.

The two streams of Essential Qi moved along his arms and into his body, traversing the governor and conception vessels and spreading throughout his entire body.

All eyes were on Long Fei, wondering what this young and unknown figure in the world of Chinese medicine would find.

Lin Yingying was extremely anxious, hoping for nothing more than for Long Fei not to cause trouble.

After a while, Long Fei opened his eyes and removed his hand.

Shen Yan’er couldn’t help but anxiously ask, "Senior, how is my grandfather’s illness? Do you have a way to treat it?"

Elder Shen gave a dry cough to silence her, saying, "Yan’er, do not be impolite."

Shen Yan’er stuck out her tongue and stood still, not daring to speak again.

The old doctors below showed a trace of disdain; they did not believe that Long Fei, whom they deemed ineffective, could succeed where they had failed.

Lin Yingying stared at Long Fei with a rising sense of urgency.

This fellow was as irritating as ever, leisurely picking up a teacup and taking a sip before clearing his throat and saying, "The elder gentleman’s illness—I can treat it."

Several doctors snorted, spitting out their tea in disbelief.

An old doctor immediately retorted, "Young man, don’t be too reckless. Master Shen’s health is not to be trifled with as a lab rat. Should anything go wrong, you wouldn’t be able to bear the responsibility!"

"Yes, young brother, think carefully before you speak!"

"Let’s set aside the rest for the moment; young brother, which medical college did you graduate from? Who was your master?"

A group of people challenged him in turn, partly concerned for Elder Shen and partly for their own reputations.

They were all regarded as pillars of the medical community, and it would be a humiliation if an ailment they couldn’t cure was remedied by a young upstart.

If word got out, how could they continue to hold their heads high in the world of Chinese medicine?

Long Fei responded calmly, "I haven’t attended a medical school, nor have I apprenticed under a master; I’m self-taught!"

The group was now even more incredulous, their whispers growing into a babble of voices dismissing Long Fei as unreliable. Even Shen Yan’er frowned.

She didn’t believe for a moment that Long Fei was self-taught; how could someone possibly reach the Grandmaster Realm on their own?

Lin Yingying covered her face, thinking to herself that her brother could have at least made something up! Surely there was nothing to lose by doing so!

You’ve never attended medical school, but you’ve got me! Oops, my mind is wandering again.

She patted her head, looking worriedly at Long Fei.

An Taiyan waved his hand, signaling the crowd to quiet down, and asked Long Fei, "Young man, what sickness has Master Shen contracted?"

Long Fei remained calm, took a sip of tea, and spoke confidently, "Master Shen’s illness lies within the meridians, and not just any ordinary meridians. The pulse diagnosis others have used would surely not reveal it. The meridians in question are the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, which for ordinary people are merely common blood vessels. However, for martial practitioners, they serve as the conduits for storing and circulating Essential Qi. If I’m not mistaken, Elder Shen must have overused his Inner Strength too frequently, causing damage to his Eight Extraordinary Meridians, leading to an internal disorder. In layman’s terms, an internal injury."

As he finished speaking, the hall fell silent.

Elder Shen’s teacup trembled in his hand, taken aback that Long Fei could see the true nature of his ailment.

In his youth, he had faced the most challenging period of the War of Resistance against Japan.

At that time, he was a militiaman.

Due to inadequate weaponry, they had to rely on melee weapons to fight against the enemy.

Struggling with insufficient nutrition and frequent use of Inner Strength, his meridians were overtaxed, leaving a lasting affliction.

As this involved martial arts, the group of old traditional doctors were at a loss, unable to find any theoretical rebuttal.

They could only turn to ask Elder Shen, "Old Master, is everything this young man said correct?"

Elder Shen nodded, furrowing his brow, "Not a single mistake!"

The old traditional doctors in the room were immediately thrown into disarray, shocked that a junior could possess such profound medical skills.

Lin Yingying’s eyes shone brightly, her face filled with astonishment as she looked at Long Fei.

When no one was paying attention, Long Fei puckered his lips and blew her a kiss, with a look that said, "I’m impressive, right? Come praise me!"

Lin Yingying’s face turned red immediately, and she turned her head away, silently cursing him as an indecent fellow.

An Xiaoke sized up Long Fei, recalling the last time he had sought treatment for his grandfather; now, in the blink of an eye, he had become a physician himself.

Her face full of surprise, she stared at her grandfather, eager to hear what he had to say.

Unexpectedly, Elder Shen stood up and bowed with a fist in palm towards Long Fei, saying, "There’s always something new to learn, no matter how old one is. I have learned a lesson today!"

Taking An Xiaoke with him, he bid farewell and left, followed by the group of old traditional doctors.

Since An Taiyan had accepted the diagnosis, naturally, so did they.

After all, today’s loss of face was a foregone conclusion.

Only after the room’s occupants had left, did Elder Shen laugh and say, "Young friend, you must have offended quite a few people today!"

Long Fei laughed, "It’s just a normal exchange in traditional medicine, I believe our seniors won’t take it to heart!"

Elder Shen nodded, his appreciation for Long Fei growing stronger.

Not only was his martial arts exceptional, but he also possessed substantial medical knowledge.

What was key, he was still young yet open-minded, honest, and sincere, with a promising and limitless future ahead of him.

If it were someone more cunning, they surely wouldn’t reveal the cause of the illness in front of all these traditional doctors,

Only after everyone had left would they disclose it.

Firstly, since it was a diagnosis they had discovered, they naturally wouldn’t want others to know.

Secondly, doing so would easily offend people and even draw their skepticism.

In the current generation of young people, finding someone with Long Fei’s pure and unselfish nature was extremely rare.

Shen Yan’er asked anxiously from the side, "Senior, how should my grandfather’s illness be treated?"

Long Fei explained, "Since the meridians are damaged, they naturally need to be conditioned. It’s like a rubber band, after being stretched and used frequently, it loses its elasticity. You need to use herbal medicine to condition it and restore that elasticity. Elder Shen’s condition will surely be cured with the right medication, and he’ll live to see another hundred years without any issues!"

The people in the room were amused by his analogy; it was indeed quite fitting.
