The numerous accusations made Liu Zixuan's position rather awkward.
However, among this crowd, You Long seemed quite happy.
He cast a mocking glance at Liu Zixuan, as if flaunting something!
Liu Zixuan shrugged and said to Elder Wei, "Elder Wei, let's begin the consultation. Treating the sick and saving lives is the most important. Since everyone doesn't want me to sit here, I'll just find another place!"
After speaking, Liu Zixuan moved to a spot on the side, not surrounding that table, like where these people's assistants would sit!
Elder Wei looked at Liu Zixuan with a peculiar expression but didn't say anything further, waving his hand at everyone, "Alright, we've delayed long enough, let's start. Dr. Hu, please explain the current overall situation!"
The man referred to as Dr. Hu stood up, "Currently, Ghost Wood City has a total of three hundred and twenty influenza patients. According to the nurse's recent report, there are now sixteen critically ill patients and six in critical condition!"
"As you've all observed over the past few days, this illness came on very suddenly, with no warning signs, mainly affecting women and children. Its symptoms bear many similarities to those of smallpox, but its infectiousness and severity surpass smallpox by dozens of times!"
After hearing Dr. Hu's introduction, Elder Wei said, "That's the current situation, and you're all aware that this illness is called Tail Flower. I've researched records, and a long time ago, a similar outbreak occurred in Witch Country, causing the deaths of a hundred people overnight."
"And now this influenza has appeared in our Ghost Wood City, our homeland. As doctors, we have the responsibility and obligation to exert our utmost efforts!"
"Elder Wei, everyone will do their best. The main thing now is how to treat it!" Another doctor beside him spoke up.
Elder Wei nodded and looked at Wu Lao, who had been speaking continuously before: "Wu Lao, you're knowledgeable and experienced, share your thoughts with us!"
Wu Lao responded with a chuckle, "I have no opinions. I've never heard of this disease, and it's my first encounter with it. The chances of curing it using National Doctor or Phantom Doctor methods are minimal!"
"How about Dr. Huang?" Elder Wei asked again.
Dr. Huang shook his head.
"What about Dr. Zhang?"
"We've tried every method we can think of, it's absolutely untreatable!"
Elder Wei asked seven or eight doctors consecutively, and they all shook their heads and sighed, helpless!
Elder Wei touched his chin and smiled, "Since no one has any ideas, I'll start, and then we can discuss how to proceed!"
Everyone turned their attention to Elder Wei.
"There's a medical book that records the treatment of Tail Flower disease requires Bing Xian Wood, Shui Yihua, and Admiration Grass, then use the Celestial Thunder to accelerate these three herbs, drink the potion and apply the herbal residue on the skin to completely cure the illness."
The method Elder Wei described was naturally the one Liu Zixuan had previously told him. He swept his gaze across everyone, "I believe you're all familiar with those three herbs, but summoning Celestial Thunder is difficult. Does anyone have any ideas?"
Celestial Thunder?
When these two words appeared, everyone was puzzled.
"This method is really quite peculiar. Moreover, it fits with ancient National Doctor practices." Wu Lao murmured, "Elder Wei, the medical book you mentioned must be a treasure level item. Such a method wouldn't be found in modern medical books!"
"Indeed." Elder Wei smiled and did not elaborate.
"But Celestial Thunder is a natural phenomenon. If it were a thunderstorm, there might be a way, but in this clear weather, what can be done!"
"Indeed, the method is bizarre, but since even Wu Lao recognizes it, it must be true. But isn't it too difficult!"
The crowd began to discuss among themselves.
Liu Zixuan looked at You Long with a playful smile and said, "Dr. You Long, I noticed you've been speaking actively earlier, you must have your own method, right? Why not share it with us!"
In fact, Liu Zixuan didn't bother to argue with these guys from the beginning; he just wanted to test whether You Long had any ulterior motives!
Previously mentioned, Liu Zixuan suspected that this influenza outbreak might be manipulated by someone behind the scenes!
And the person he had been suspicious of was You Long!
Firstly, You Long had the backing of Zuo Chenggong, a powerful figure with the capacity to do this.
Secondly, You Long is also a doctor; if they were indeed operating in the shadows, he could seize this opportunity to make a name for himself in Ghost Wood City!
After all, curing an incurable disease and saving the entire city's people overnight could make him famous instantly! Such an opportunity to suppress Liu Zixuan while gaining numerous benefits for himself, Liu Zixuan thought, You Long shouldn't miss it!
When everyone looked at You Long, surprisingly, he did not admit to having a solution, instead, he shook his head. "I... don't have a way either."
This puzzled Liu Zixuan. Could it be that this influenza wasn't man-made? Had it really nothing to do with You Long?
You Long scoffed, "Everyone here is a master in medical skills; I consider myself with shallow qualifications and dare not speak up, unlike someone who let everyone wait for so long and returned empty-handed without finding a single solution!"
"Who said he didn't find a solution."
Elder Wei glared at You Long and said to everyone, "The method I just mentioned was told to me by Dr. Liu Zixuan."
"Wh... What? He told you?"
"Nonsense, does he have a National Doctor's treasure-level medical book?"
"Elder Wei, isn't he your relative that you're protecting?"
Hearing everyone's words, Liu Zixuan slowly stepped forward, "Regardless of whether I have the capability or not, it doesn't matter what my relationship with Elder Wei is. I just want to ask one question: do you have any solutions?"
This single question blocked everyone's mouths. Obviously, they had no solutions! Otherwise, there wouldn't have been such an awkward expression earlier.
Liu Zixuan scoffed, "Since you don't then just shut up!"
Since he tested and found out You Long wasn't the mastermind, there was no need for Liu Zixuan to continue acting. For these guys, there's no need to put on a friendly face!
"Sure, we can shut up when it comes to academia not speaking of qualifications but strength, since you say it's your method, then prove it to everyone. Also, produce the so-called Celestial Thunder!" Wu Lao said, implying how to make this lie credible!
Liu Zixuan sneered, "Wu Lao, right? Known as the top National Doctor in Ghost Wood City?"
"Do you have any objections?" Wu Lao said in a deep voice.
"It's ridiculous!" Liu Zixuan asked mockingly, "Let me ask you, as the top National Doctor, have you heard of the Ghost Gate Needle?"
"The Ghost Gate Needle, as the supreme treasure of National Doctor, of course, I've heard of it," Wu Lao said.
Liu Zixuan directly took out the Profound Thunder Needle, "Then you should also understand that the Profound Thunder Needle within the Ghost Gate Needle possesses a Celestial Thunder Attribute, right?"
"You... this... is the Profound Thunder Needle?" Wu Lao was petrified on the spot, with a look of shock on his face!
