Chapter 20: 20 chapters - Immediate results
Yang Fei nodded and walked toward Luu Shouwang.
Since he had followed Li Xuantong here, it was to help with the medical examination.
As for the skepticism from the Luu Family members about himself, he didn't take it to heart.
The three members of the Luu Family also came back to their senses.
Even though Li Xuantong was acting a bit strange today, bringing a young whippersnapper to treat Luu Shouwang, after all, they had many years of relationship with him, and they still trusted him very much.
Having a look wouldn't cost them a slice of flesh.
Yang Fei approached Luu Shouwang, held his pulse with one hand, and with the other, he lifted Luu Shouwang's pants leg. While pressing on several acupuncture points near the knee joint, he observed and asked Luu Shouwang about various reactions.
Li Xuantong, seeing Yang Fei's actions, was shocked and silently amazed.
Luu Nian did not understand medical techniques, but when she saw Yang Fei multitasking, she frowned slightly. Even as a layperson, she felt that this young man was too amateurish.
Diagnosing the pulse required concentration to identify the problems, yet this young man was diagnosing the pulse while doing other things and even asking questions. It seemed too perfunctory, too fake.
"With your condition, if it weren't for Doctor Li's attentive treatment, you might have been completely paralyzed a long time ago," Yang Fei said after the examination, standing up.
Luu Shouwang nodded. He was grateful to Li Xuantong, though he said, "He's just afraid I'll be completely paralyzed and he'll lose a companion."
Luu Nian looked at Yang Fei and asked, "Can you cure him?"
Yang Fei nodded, "Yes, I can cure him. Actually, even if I don't step in, as long as Doctor Li continues his treatment, Mr. Luu will be able to stand within a year."
Upon hearing this, the eyes of Luu Shouwang, his wife, and Luu Nian all lit up with anticipation as they looked toward Li Xuantong.
Li Xuantong also showed excitement and asked Yang Fei, "Really? Is that possible?"
Yang Fei nodded and said, "Your previous treatment methods and direction were correct, it's just that the acupuncture technique wasn't effective enough, otherwise, he would have recovered within three years."
Li Xuantong excitedly said, "I knew it! I knew that the Revitalizing Thirteen Needle Technique would work. It's only because of my imperfect skills that Brother Luu suffered for a few more years."
Luu Nian's eyes flashed with sharpness as she stared at Yang Fei and asked, "Can you really make my father stand up again?"
Immediately after, she added, "If you really can make my father stand up again, no matter the cost, just name your price."
Yang Fei frowned.
He had come today purely as a favor to Uncle Li.
The fact that the Luu Family didn't believe in his medical skills didn't bother him too much, as it was difficult to convince others with his youth.
However, Luu Nian's attitude, as if money could solve everything, displeased him somewhat.
Seeing Yang Fei frown, Luu Shouwang had a realization and quickly scolded, "Nonsense! Little Brother Yang is a master invited by your Uncle Li, and he's here because of your Uncle Li's reputation. You think you're so great because you have some money? Is this how you ask for help?"
Luu Nian, scolded by her father in front of a stranger, felt embarrassed and huffed, though she didn't dare to retort.
Having been in a wheelchair for over three years, Luu Shouwang had long been eager to stand up again. He looked at Yang Fei and apologized, "I'm sorry, young bro, my daughter is ignorant. Don't take offense."
Li Xuantong, worried that Yang Fei would be upset, quickly said, "Yes, Luu Nian is just overly concerned about her dad, and she can only show her gratitude by offering a high consultation fee."
Yang Fei chuckled.
Otherwise, how do you say 'there's no substitute for experience'? These two elders are certainly sly.
The slight displeasure in his heart disappeared, and smiling, he said, "It's fine, Sister Luu is straightforward and means no harm."
Luu Shouwang quickly corrected, "What Sister Luu? Old Man Li considers you a friend despite the age difference, calling you a brother, so you're of the same generation as me; she's my daughter, just call her by her name."
Yang Fei found Luu Nian's expression to be incredibly amusing, and he almost couldn't help laughing out loud.
She was his senior by a generation and a university professor, could she really call him Uncle Yang?
"Old Li, did you bring the silver needles?" Yang Fei changed the subject and asked Li Xuantong.
Li Xuantong said, "I often perform acupuncture on him, so I've left a set of silver needles here."
Luu Shouwang's spouse quickly said, "I'll go get it."
Soon, the silver needles were brought in.
Yang Fei started to apply the needles.
Li Xuantong hurriedly leaned in, observing intently, as if he were an elementary school student thirsty for knowledge, wanting to learn something.
Seeing Li Xuantong like this, the three members of the Luu Family were all immensely surprised.
They had known Li Xuantong for many years and had a deep friendship with him. They knew that he was a big name in the medical field, not just a famous doctor in Binhai but also renowned nationwide.
Now, to see him so eager to learn, who would believe it if they had not seen it with their own eyes?
Could this young man truly possess such ability?
"The main cause of paralysis is the obstruction of the meridians and collaterals. Moreover, if the paralysis has lasted a long time, the joint's tendons, ligaments, and surrounding cells might have degenerated, or even died."
As Yang Fei inserted the needles, he explained, "However, Old Li, because of the acupuncture treatments that you've been administering over the past few years, along with the medicinal prescriptions you've used to adjust his condition, Mr. Luu's bodily functions have been fairly well-maintained."
After inserting a total of seven needles, Yang Fei said, "Actually, the Revitalizing Thirteen Needle Technique only requires seven needles to cure Mr. Luu's legs." For a better reading experience, visit M(VLEMPYR).
Li Xuantong, his eyes focused on the positions of the seven silver needles, suddenly realized something and murmured to himself, "So that's how it is... My previous needle placements were slightly off. Your method of insertion and the sequence of the needles better stimulate the activity of the tendons and veins in this area."
Yang Fei smiled and said, "The key is in the Revitalizing Aura." As he spoke, his long, slender fingers flashed across the tips of the seven silver needles like a streak of lightning.
Hum!
The seven silver needles began to tremble.
Li Xuantong's eyes lit up, his expression full of excitement.
Although it was not his first time seeing the Revitalizing Aura, he couldn't contain his excitement at witnessing it again.
The three members of the Luu Family were stunned, completely amazed by this miraculous scene.
Could these silver needles truly tremble at such a high frequency on their own?
Moreover, it seemed as though they resonated with one another, forming a special and mysterious magnetic field.
Li Xuantong, watching the special magnetic field formed by the silver needles, swallowed hard and looked up at Yang Fei, saying, "Could you slow down your movements next time? I didn't quite catch them."
Seeing his eager expression, Yang Fei couldn't bear to disappoint him and said, "If I do it slower, the effect will be reduced. I'll explain it to you in detail later."
The Revitalizing Needle Technique is easy to learn, but to activate the Revitalizing Aura, one needs a certain foundation of Inner Strength.
He could tell that Li Xuantong was an experienced traditional doctor with high levels of medical skill but not an Inner Martial Artist.
Since ancient times, medicine and martial arts have been inseparable; the greatest reliance of a truly skilled Chinese medicine practitioner actually lies within Inner Qi.
With the support of Inner Qi, the effect of acupuncture can be more than tenfold greater.
But practicing martial arts is extremely difficult, which is why Chinese medicine has fallen out of favor and many people have lost faith in it.
Li Xuantong, hearing Yang Fei say this, brightened up and joyfully said, "You can't go back on your word."
Yang Fei chuckled, amused by his response.
Five minutes later, Luu Shouwang's face suddenly changed, and he said excitedly, "I feel like I can move."
Aside from Yang Fei, everyone else, including Li Xuantong, looked at Luu Shouwang in surprise and asked, "Really?"
Afterward, they all turned their gaze toward Yang Fei, astounded.
Yang Fei nodded and said, "You can try stretching your leg out a bit, but don't go too far."
Upon hearing Yang Fei's words, Luu Shouwang became excited and lifted his right leg, which was dotted with silver needles.
Then, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Luu Shouwang's leg lifted a few centimeters off the ground.
