Great Immortal Doctor

Chapter 32: Chapter 32 The Treasure of the Pharmacy



Li Qingshan angrily flung his hand and said, "Chu Bohuai, after all these years of treating patients, how can you be so narrow - minded?"

"Hmph, our century - old brand has never received any special treatment. Why should this brat, who still reeks of milk, get it?" Chu Bohuai no longer tried to hide his true feelings and said coldly.

Xiao Yi sneered. He rolled up his sleeves and said, "It seems that I must cure this disease today, and I can only succeed."

"Humph, let's see if you have the ability," Chu Bohuai snorted coldly.

"Xiao Yi, this strange disease has highly toxic substances in the patient's blood. One careless move, and the doctor himself will be infected. You really don't have to take such risks just because of some petty people," Li Qingshan whispered close to Xiao Yi's ear.

Xiao Yi waved his hand and continued to say to Chu Bohuai, "Chu Bohuai, if I'm lucky enough to cure it, what then?"

Chu Bohuai sneered and said, "Whatever you say. But I'm afraid you simply can't cure it."

The Bosica tumor was notorious, and there was no effective treatment for it in the world. Otherwise, why would Chu Bohuai use it to make things difficult for Xiao Yi?

Hearing Chu Bohuai's words, Xiao Yi smiled slightly. His eyes glanced at a locked plexiglass display cabinet in the middle of the hall and said with a smile, "I've long heard that Baicao Hall has a treasure that can serve as the symbol of the pharmacy, a century - old Ganoderma lucidum king. How about using it as a bet?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Bohuai's face changed. That century - old Ganoderma lucidum king was bought at a high price by his elder brother, Chu Boyang, at the beginning of the establishment of the Haicheng branch of Baicao Hall. Just as Xiao Yi said, for decades, it had been the treasure of the Haicheng Baicao Hall. It was always displayed right in front of the door of the main hall. It weighed thirty kilograms and had become a wonder in Haicheng. Even tourists came here every day to admire it.

The Ganoderma lucidum king of Baicao Hall, like the golden signboard of Baicao Hall, was the pride of the Chu family. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yi asked for this Ganoderma lucidum king as soon as he opened his mouth.

Chu Bohuai was hesitant. If he lost this Ganoderma lucidum king, how could Baicao Hall hold its head high in the traditional Chinese medicine community of Haicheng? But just now he had said "as you wish" without hesitation, and now he couldn't go back on his word.

Chu Bohuai's eyes rolled rapidly as he weighed the pros and cons. However, when he turned his head and glanced at the emaciated patient, and then thought about the terrifying Bosica tumors on his body, Chu Bohuai immediately calmed down. It was probably wishful thinking for Xiao Yi to cure all the tumors on the spot.

"Fine, I'll go along with you," Chu Bohuai finally gritted his teeth and said after his eyes rolled rapidly. "But what if you can't cure it?"

"If I can't cure it, I'll seal my needles forever. Wherever you, Chu Bohuai, are, I, Xiao Yi, will never use needles again," Xiao Yi said loudly.

"Humph, words are cheap. You have to sign a written agreement with me. President Li Qingshan, the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association can't give special treatment to people just because of the personal preferences of those in power. Humph, if he wants to get a medical license through special channels, he has to pass the test of our Baicao Hall first," Chu Bohuai narrowed his eyes slightly and said viciously.

"Chu Bohuai, I thought that after treating patients and saving lives every day, your heart should be calm and free from worldly desires. But I never thought you were such a petty person," Li Qingshan sighed regretfully.

"Cut," Chu Bohuai completely ignored Li Qingshan's words. He immediately sent someone to get paper and pen and wrote down the bet with Xiao Yi word for word.

Xiao Yi watched coldly as he did all this, sneering inwardly.

Finally, Chu Bohuai got the signed bet from Xiao Yi. A cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth as he looked at Xiao Yi coldly.

Xiao Yi didn't say anything. He called the patient to the wall, asked him to take off all his clothes except his underwear, and lie face - down against the wall.

The patients coming and going in Baicao Hall were very curious about this scene. They whispered to each other and talked non - stop.

"Who is this young doctor? How dare he come to Baicao Hall to cause trouble?"

"Isn't this like showing off one's skills in front of an expert?"

"Alas, stop talking. Watch quickly. Let's stay away. I heard this disease is contagious. Look at those stinking tumors. How can it be cured on the spot? I'm afraid even a god would be helpless."

Everyone watched from a distance, talking in whispers.

"Xiao Yi, you don't have to listen to what Chu Bohuai says about the matters of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association. I'm here, and I will definitely do my best to mediate for you. You don't have to act on impulse here. If you really seal your needles, wouldn't the Four - Elephant Acupuncture Technique have no successor? That would be a great loss to our traditional Chinese medicine community," Li Qingshan anxiously grabbed Xiao Yi's hand, not caring that Chu Bohuai was in front of them.

Xiao Yi smiled faintly and said, "Dean Li, don't worry. If the Four - Elephant Acupuncture Technique can't cure this disease, what value does it have for you to call it a national treasure? Stand aside and watch me perform the acupuncture."

"Humph, boasting too much will only end up embarrassing yourself. Be careful not to bite your tongue in the wind," Chu Bohuai rubbed the purple sand teapot in his hand and said coldly.

Xiao Yi ignored him. He came to the patient, took out the silver needles he carried with him, accurately found the acupuncture points on the patient's body, and stabbed the needles in as fast as lightning.

This time, Xiao Yi used a large number of needles. He actually inserted forty - nine needles at once, with silver needles inserted into the twelve regular meridians. And it was done in one go. The acupuncture technique was so dazzling that people could hardly keep up.

"Wow, this is so fast."

"Don't tell me it's just for show. The key to acupuncture is not speed, but accuracy."

"Yeah, with such speed, can the acupoints be located correctly?"

The onlookers couldn't help whispering when they saw Xiao Yi's acupuncture technique.

Only Li Qingshan's face gradually became more and more solemn. Others might not be able to see clearly, but he could see it clearly. Every needle of Xiao Yi was extremely accurate. Although the speed was fast, there was not the slightest deviation. Just this skill alone, even though he had been immersed in traditional Chinese medicine for decades, he was far from comparable.

"How old is Xiao Yi this year? Where did this proficiency come from?" Li Qingshan was extremely shocked.

Chu Bohuai beside him couldn't help widening his eyes. He stopped rubbing the purple sand teapot, and a trace of uneasiness gradually crept into his heart. An expert can tell the real level as soon as one makes a move. Just based on the momentum of inserting the needles, Chu Bohuai knew he was no match.

Xiao Yi, however, was completely focused. After inserting the forty - nine needles like a dragonfly skimming the water, Xiao Yi's hands moved simultaneously. From top to bottom, he twisted the tails of each silver needle in turn. The forty - nine silver needles slowly vibrated following Xiao Yi's hands.

"The Four - Elephant Acupuncture Technique," Li Qingshan's eyes lit up, and he murmured. Although this was the third time he had seen Xiao Yi perform the Four - Elephant Acupuncture Technique, every time he saw it, Li Qingshan was deeply shocked. An uncontrollable sense of respect welled up from the bottom of his heart. This was the essence of traditional Chinese medicine, a treasure passed down from the ancestors, which every person researching traditional Chinese medicine had to respect.

For Chu Bohuai, who was seeing Xiao Yi perform acupuncture for the first time, his heart was also greatly shocked at this moment. Looking at the acupuncture technique that was exactly the same as the one recorded in the ancient books, cold sweat broke out on Chu Bohuai's forehead.

"Impossible, it's impossible," Chu Bohuai reached out to hold the table corner, relying on a glimmer of hope in his heart to support himself.

As the silver needles vibrated, pink thin lines emerged on the patient's body. These thin lines slowly spread and finally all rushed towards the two bladder meridians on the back of the patient's body.

"Stand on tiptoe," Xiao Yi stared at the trend of the red lines and shouted softly.

The patient quickly did as he was told, standing on tiptoe and stretching his two legs straight.

Xiao Yi took a bowl of rice wine, dipped his hand in it, and gently patted the Weizhong acupoints on the patient's knees. After a while, two blue veins appeared.

Xiao Yi put down the rice wine. With his left hand, he picked up a soft cloth, and with his right hand, he took out a triangular blood - letting needle. His fingers moved quickly, stabbing the two blue veins on the patient.

"Chi - chi," with the insertion of the triangular blood - letting needle, two streams of foul - smelling blood shot out from the patient's Weizhong acupoints.

Xiao Yi's expression was solemn. With a flick and a roll of the soft cloth in his left hand, he completely caught the two streams of foul blood in the cloth, not a single drop was left.

He threw the soft cloth stained with foul blood into the bowl of rice wine, took out a lighter, and lit the cloth. A stinking smell immediately spread out.

"Damn, it stinks. What is this doctor doing?" The onlookers all covered their noses and mouths, watching Xiao Yi's actions.

Xiao Yi, however, looked calm. From time to time, he took out another soft cloth to wipe the black blood flowing out of the patient's Weizhong acupoints.

Strangely enough, the patient's knees seemed to be bleeding continuously, as if there was a river of blood. Several soft cloths were completely soaked.

Xiao Yi didn't say a word. He just threw each soft cloth stained with foul blood into the bowl and burned them all.

"Wow, look, the sarcomas on that person's body are really getting smaller," a sharp - eyed onlooker suddenly shouted.

Only then did everyone notice that indeed, the originally grape - sized, plump purple sarcomas, as if deflated from the inside, were shrinking at a visible speed. They gradually turned into a layer of shriveled thin skin, sticking to the body. Moreover, everyone found that the blood flowing out of the patient's Weizhong acupoints was gradually decreasing, and the color had also turned into a common bright red.

"My god, how could this happen?" Everyone was shocked.

"This is impossible," Chu Bohuai whispered, really unwilling to believe what was happening in front of him.

Li Qingshan, with an excited expression, walked up to Xiao Yi. His lips trembling, he said, "Xiao Yi, I only knew that blood - letting at the Weizhong acupoint can expel toxins, but I never knew that in your hands, it could have such miraculous effects."

Xiao Yi glanced at him and said with a smile, "Although I don't know much about the Bosica tumor, the patient's body is full of toxins. I just used the Four - Elephant Acupuncture Technique to force all the toxins into his bladder meridian. The bladder meridian is a meridian for detoxification, and the Weizhong acupoint is the most important detoxification acupoint in the human body. No matter what kind of toxins they are, when the Weizhong acupoint is pricked with a needle, the toxic blood has to come out."

"Alright, put on your clothes. I'll prescribe you a few doses of traditional Chinese medicine to strengthen the body and nourish the blood. After you take it, you will recover naturally. However, if you still take drugs in the future, there's no need to come to me again," Xiao Yi took the prescription paper beside him, wrote a prescription swiftly, and threw it to the patient.
