Chapter 556: Chapter 556: Call Me Uncle Master

The silver-haired elder made quite the entrance, immediately commanding the room, with none of the white-coated doctors daring to walk beside him, all following behind.

"Which one of you is the patient’s family?"

"I am, I am his mother." Lady Lv hurriedly stepped forward.

"Lady Lv, this is none other than Shi Yuan, the most esteemed figure in Jin City’s medical community and an authority on orthopedics."

Upon witnessing his presence, Lady Lv knew his medical skills had to be extraordinary, "Professor Shi, how is my son doing?"

"He can be treated, but it will take some time. Your son’s body has at least twenty to thirty joints dislocated, and the force applied was very skillful, especially with three slipped vertebrae on his spine, which could easily result in paralysis of the lower body if mishandled."

"It’s good to hear he can be treated. I’ll trouble you then, Professor Shi. As long as you cure my son, I, on behalf of the Lv Family, owe you a favor."

The onlookers from the Jiang Family were a bit envious upon hearing this. Beyond a certain point, money becomes inconsequential, and favors like these are truly rare. If they could owe the Lu Family a favor, it could be a game-changer for the Jiang Family when it mattered the most.

"That won’t be necessary."

Shi Yuan waved his hand, outright rejecting the offer. Such favors were of no use to him.

"However, I am quite curious about who inflicted such injuries on your son. Their orthopedic skills must be at a master level."

Lady Lv turned her head towards Li Feng.

A master.

Him?

Shi Yuan followed Lady Lv’s gaze, and the orthopedic doctors behind him also turned their attention towards Li Feng, who was currently reaching out to touch a girl’s face not far away.

This was clearly a young man.

"Lady Lv, you mean him? How is that possible?"

"Yes, orthopedics is one of the most challenging disciplines in the Ancient Medical World. It requires at least ten years of groundwork, and one wouldn’t dare claim proficiency without fifteen to twenty years of experience. To speak of master level, that requires at least thirty years of accumulated experience."

An orthopedic doctor in his forties pushed up his glasses while the doctors around him nodded in agreement.

Orthopedics may seem like it’s just about a few bones, but it’s actually quite complex—bones connect with tendons and muscles. Experienced orthopedists can set a bone in place flawlessly without any side effects, but those lacking experience could easily damage the tendons.

If the bone isn’t set correctly, it’s like misaligned parts in machinery; complications arise over time, leading to possible disability.

"Exactly, like Grandmaster Shi, that’s almost forty years of experience in orthopedics. Even with your son’s condition, it would be daunting for us to even know where to begin."

"Hmm!

A chorus of nods followed in agreement.

A young man in his twenties—him alone, without the qualifications even to set bones right. Didn’t you notice in orthopedics, the more senior you are, the more in demand you become? Those young doctors can only stand by and watch.

Li Feng, feeling agitated by the palm prints on Jiang Nan’s face and hearing the conversations behind him, suddenly turned around.

"Shi Yuan, dare to touch the bones I’ve moved?"

Li Feng glowered at the silver-haired elder opposite him.

Li Feng’s tone stunned the doctors behind Shi Yuan.

"Kid, how dare you speak to Grandmaster Shi like that?"

"Indeed, today’s youth are becoming increasingly disrespectful, not showing even a bit of courtesy."

"You should apologize to Grandmaster Shi right away."

Shi Yuan blinked twice, looking at Li Feng, "Young Grandmaster, you must be the Young Grandmaster, right?"

Shi Yuan hurried forward: "Young Grandmaster, you’ve grown up so much. Indeed, it’s been over a decade since we last met—I nearly didn’t recognize you just now."

"For years, I’ve wanted to see my Grandmaster again, but when I went to Huacheng in search, Grandmaster had already left the Daoist School without a trace. After so many years, junior uncle, is Grandmaster well?"

"Junior uncle?"

All the orthopedic doctors who had previously reprimanded Li Feng were stunned, as Shi Taifu actually addressed the young man before them as ’junior uncle’.

"Shi Taifu, who is he?"

Shi Yuan turned to look at his disciples and grand disciples behind him, "This is my junior uncle, you must address him as ’Grandfather Master’, ’Great Grandmaster’."

"Grandfather Master, Great Grandmaster."

The youngest of these doctors was also thirty-seven or thirty-eight, and the older ones were nearing fifty, all addressing a man in his twenties as ’Grandfather Master’, ’Great Grandmaster’.

That face.

"Not calling out yet, do you want to disrespect and bring ruin upon your master’s legacy?" Shi Yuan glared at his disciples and grand disciples.

Unlike Western medicine, traditional Chinese medicine places great emphasis on heritage. Institutional affiliations are not considered significant, and the truly skilled doctors in the Ancient Medical World are seldom of institutional backgrounds. Even with a foundation laid in an academic setting, one must still find a master to make significant strides in the field of traditional Chinese medicine.

In Jin City, Shi Yuan was an authority in orthopedics, a leading figure in the medical community, and naturally, he had many disciples and thus even more grand disciples.

Within the Jin City Circle, he dared to claim that half of the orthopedic doctors were trained by him.

"Grandfather Master."

"Great Grandmaster."

The doctors, who were in their forties and fifties, had no choice but to bow and pay their respects to Li Feng regardless of their willingness.

"Junior uncle, was it you who treated the patient inside? After all these years without seeing you, I did not expect that your attainment in orthopedics would now surpass the mentor. I, your junior, am truly ashamed."

"Weren’t you very confident just now?"

"Ahem, I did have some seventy to eighty percent confidence, but even so, it would take at least ten days to half a month to solve the methods used by junior uncle. However, if junior uncle takes action, it would surely be a matter of just lifting your hand, a simple effort."

Shi Yuan gave Li Feng a small dose of flattery.

You should know Li Feng’s maternal grandfather is the ’Hand of Xinglin’, the only living medical fossil in the Ancient Medical World, a decade ago, that ’Grandfather Master’ was already in his eighties or nineties, now if he’s still alive, I’m afraid he’s over a hundred years old.

He is like an Immortal.

Just like the ’Medical Saint’ Sun Simiao during the Tang Dynasty.

"Junior uncle, what did that young man inside do to offend you? Perhaps you could enlighten me." Shi Yuan was no fool; originally, he did not want to get involved in this matter, as a doctor his only concern was to heal and save people, but now he felt he had to ask.

After all, the patient inside looked to be from a powerful family in Jin City. If junior uncle had a conflict with them, it was not good to be at a disadvantage, so it was better to ask clearly.

"You don’t need to worry about this matter. I worked on those bones, and without my approval, no one is allowed to touch them,"

Li Feng said.

Shi Yuan nodded, "I understand."

"Lady Lv, you’ve heard everything. With an order from my junior uncle, I dare not disobey. I can only say, I’m sorry,"

Lady Lv’s face was ashen, "Professor Shi, you’re playing me."

"Lady Lv, I am serious,"

Lady Lv was somewhat frenzied, "Fine, fine, fine, I refuse to believe that without you, I can’t find anyone else to cure my son!"

Shi Yuan looked at Lady Lv, "Lady Lv, let me say one more thing, in the Ancient Medical World, no one dares to disrespect my junior uncle."

"The bones he’s worked on, truly no one dares to touch. If you don’t believe me, you can give it a try."

"I see you are also a mother anxious for her child. Why not apologize to that young lady and my junior uncle, and let’s put this matter to rest."
