So the two of them took medical protective measures and went to see how Xiao Yifei was treating patients.
Xiao Yifei first carefully examined the patient’s body. He discovered that although this patient was infected with the same virus as before, due to various reasons such as individual physical conditions, the manifestation of the virus inside the body would differ.
Xiao Yifei furrowed his brow tightly, seeming a bit troubled. This patient’s situation was probably more serious than all previous ones. With his current treatment plan, it was impossible to completely cure this patient. He felt a headache, especially since the dean and his friend of unknown origin were watching from the side.
Xiao Yifei felt a bit flustered, but he wasn’t without options. The Xiao family’s One Hundred and Eight Needles technique handed down by his grandfather was something he could use now. He had practiced it secretly many times, and he had seen his grandfather use it many times before.
So Xiao Yifei explained to the dean: "Dean, although this patient has the same disease, the situation is more severe than before, so I need to use a different treatment method."
"You’re the doctor. You can do whatever you want as long as you can cure the patient. I’m just bringing my friend over to show him your superb medical skill. He didn’t believe you were so amazing before." Dean Qian nodded and said to Xiao Yifei.
Upon hearing what Dean Qian said, Xiao Yifei couldn’t help but feel curious. This friend of the dean must also be a very skilled doctor, otherwise, he wouldn’t have an interest in him. With the dean’s permission, Xiao Yifei began the treatment.
One needle after another was inserted, and the elderly man beside them was astounded. Looking at Xiao Yifei, he seemed only about thirty years old, but his skilled acupuncture techniques were like those of someone who had been practicing medicine for half a lifetime. Moreover, he had been a doctor all his life and had never seen this kind of acupuncture technique before.
He then understood why his dean appreciated this young man so much. By coincidence, he had passed by the hospital today and thought his friend was here, so he came up to take a look. Unexpectedly, he discovered such a talented individual.
The dean beside him didn’t really notice anything. Although he had some research on Chinese medicine, it was far from his friend’s level. Therefore, while he found Xiao Yifei’s technique somewhat unfamiliar, he didn’t think much of it. After all, Chinese medicine is so extensive and profound that a lifetime isn’t enough to learn it all.
The elderly man carefully observed Xiao Yifei’s acupuncture technique, recalling all the knowledge he had learned, yet he had never seen such a technique before. He had also never seen anyone use this technique, so it must be an ancestral medical skill. The most update n0vels are published on novel•fire.net
"Chinese Medicine" first appeared in the "Han Book·Art and Literature·Canon Formulas," stating: "Add heat to heat, add cold to cold, not visible outside, this is the unique loss." Hence the saying: "If you have a disease, don’t treat it, you often get Chinese medicine." Here the "zhong" character is pronounced in the falling tone, zhòng. The term "Chinese Medicine" truly appeared around ** war.
The Eastern India Company’s Western medicine coined the name Chinese Medicine for Huaxia medicine to distinguish between Chinese and Western medicine. The term Chinese Medicine at this time was meant to contrast with Western medicine. By 1936, Huaxia formulated the "Chinese Medicine Regulations," officially legalizing the term Chinese Medicine.
In the past, people also referred to Chinese medicine as "Han Medicine," "Traditional Medicine," or "National Medicine," all of which emerged to distinguish it from Western medicine. More than two thousand years ago, the concept of Chinese medicine in the "Han Book" indeed reflected a supreme realm within Huaxia medicine.
The earliest record of Chinese medicine in Huaxia history is Shennong tasting hundreds of herbs, a story we are familiar with since childhood. As early as the Xia, Shang, and Zhou periods (approximately late 22nd century BC - 256 BC), Huaxia had already developed medicinal wine and decoctions.
The "Book of Songs" from the Western Zhou Dynasty is the earliest documented book with records of medicines in Huaxia’s existing literature. The earliest surviving theoretical classic of Chinese medicine, the "Inner Canon," proposed theories such as "treat cold with heat, treat heat with cold," "the five flavors enter," "the five organs suffer and desire replenishment and drainage," laying the foundation for the basic theories of Chinese medicine.
Therefore, in the long development process of over five thousand years of Chinese medicine, many different schools of medicine have emerged. Although people today refer to Huaxia traditional medicine as Chinese medicine, there are actually many branches under China’s traditional medicine, similar to different martial arts schools in the realm of martial arts.
In ancient medicine, famous figures include Zhang Zhongjing from the Han Dynasty and Hua Tuo from the Three Kingdoms period, but there were also many less-known Chinese medicine practitioners whose research and treatment methods were also very useful.
This elderly man looked at Xiao Yifei before him, speculating silently: "It seems this young man in front of me is also a successor of some medical lineage, otherwise he definitely wouldn’t have achieved such great success."
Walking out of the treatment room, the elderly man asked the dean: "What’s the background of this doctor in your hospital? I can tell he’s no ordinary individual; he must come from a medical family."
Dean Qian was very pleased to hear that his good friend rated Xiao Yifei so highly, as his friend rarely praised people easily, and he said happily: "I really haven’t looked into his family background. He was introduced by a friend before, and it is said that he came to our hospital because of some issues at a previous hospital."
Finally, as the old friend was leaving, he grabbed Dean Qian’s arm and said earnestly: "You must treat this young doctor named Xiao Yifei well. He will definitely become a remarkable person in the future. He might even become the next Hua Tuo, it just depends on whether he can..."
The old man stopped halfway through his sentence, suddenly remembering something, and fell silent. The dean waited for a while, and seeing no intention of the man continuing, he asked again: "Whether he can what? You’re so mysterious; I can’t help but want to look into Xiao Yifei’s family tree."
"It just depends on whether he can settle down and seriously practice as a doctor. I’m leaving now, and I’ll come to see you again when I have time." The elderly man said this and left.
Actually, he hadn’t told the truth earlier. Although he didn’t know much about Xiao Yifei, he did see some signs from the acupuncture technique.
When Xiao Yifei was performing acupuncture earlier, because he hadn’t found the Biwei Silver Needle, he didn’t use his mental intent.
Previously, when Xiao Yifei saw his grandfather using the Xiao family’s technique to treat patients, after each treatment, his grandfather’s body would suffer harm to varying degrees—sometimes dizziness, and later severe cases of nosebleeds. The most severe instance was when his grandfather treated an extremely sick patient, and upon exiting the operating room, all his hair had turned white.
Xiao Yifei didn’t know about the Xiao family’s One Hundred and Eight Needles then and simply thought his grandfather was old, and performing surgeries was physically exhausting. He assumed his grandfather was just too tired. However, he never expected that his grandfather would treat others in such a way.
If his grandfather hadn’t used the Xiao family’s technique, he might have lived a few more years. It’s just that his grandfather chose such a path to dedicate his life by becoming a Divine Doctor, ensuring people remembered him forever.
However, Xiao Yifei didn’t want to do the same; he wasn’t that noble. Thus, he must find all means to locate the legendary Biwei Silver Needle. But currently, there was no clue whatsoever, and he didn’t even know if this legendary Biwei Silver Needle truly existed.
