Lady Li listened to Xu Hao's words and immediately asked, "Divine Doctor Xu, if Niuniu takes these medicines, will she become dependent on them?"
"Of course not, traditional Chinese medicine hardly ever leads to dependency," Xu Hao said with a smile.
"Then, after stopping the medication, won't there be a rebound effect?" Lady Li continued to press.
Li Chenggong immediately said, "Even if we must continue the medication to produce enough melanin, I think it's worth it. As long as it allows my daughter to live a normal life, I am willing to spend my entire fortune!"
Niuniu, who was sitting on the bed with her head lowered, suddenly lifted her head. Her murky and lifeless eyes faintly glistened with tears.
When Xu Hao heard Li Chenggong's words, he also was slightly startled. Li Chenggong was the helmsman of the great Li Family from Hongkong, with many children, but his most beloved indeed was Niuniu, the daughter born in his later years.
However, this was also normal. After all, Niuniu had been unhealthy since birth, and all of this could be said to be the fault of Li Chenggong and Lady Li. The couple's guilt was natural.
Yet, clearly Niuniu never blamed either of them.
Xu Hao let out a sigh. He had come to understand why great doctors were so respected.
No matter how rich or powerful one might be, unless they had an abnormal mindset like Cao Cao, they would hold great reverence for esteemed doctors. Еnjоying thе stоry? Find mоrе аt МV-LЕМРYR.
Because they could save people's lives!
Li Chenggong was so wealthy, saying he was the richest of the rich was not an exaggeration. Yet when faced with his daughter's illness, he was still helpless.
Lei Qianjue, puzzled, said, "Master, I still don't understand, why is it that after taking the medicine, it can make her body continuously produce melanin?"
Xu Hao replied with a smile, "This method, even if someone stole the prescription, would actually be of no use, because you are like me."
"I am like you?" Lei Qianjue, puzzled and impressed, was very confused.
Xu Hao smiled and said, "You are still lacking something. I'll tell you later. Let's focus on treating Niuniu first. Lady Li, while preparing the decoction, don't add sugar or anything else."
With that, Xu Hao handed over a large bag of medicinal herbs.
Li Chenggong hurriedly took it, and then Lady Li personally went to prepare the medication, while Li Chenggong stayed to chat with Xu Hao and the others.
After Lady Li had prepared the medicine and brought it over, Niuniu sniffed it but was reluctant and didn't seem willing to drink it.
Li Chenggong and his wife were somewhat helpless. They had never scolded Niuniu over the years, and they certainly wouldn't scold her now. But without Niuniu drinking, they had no solution!
Xu Hao said with a smile, "Niuniu, do you think this traditional medicine is a bit bitter?"
Niuniu timidly glanced at Xu Hao and nodded slightly.
Xu Hao chuckled lightly, quickly touched her face with his index finger, and then said, "Why not give it another try?"
Niuniu touched her slightly red cheek, looked up at Xu Hao, and tentatively took a small sip of the decoction.
To the astonishment of Li Chenggong, Lady Li, and others, her face brightened joyfully. She picked up the large bowl and gulped it all down in one go!
Lei Qianjue was immediately stupefied. It took him a long while to recover before he exclaimed, "Master… Master, was that the legendary Acupuncture point sealing?"
Xu Hao replied with a smile, "Correct, it is Acupuncture point sealing. I just sealed her taste point, which is why she couldn't detect any bitterness and drank it all in one gulp."
Acupuncture point sealing!
Li Chenggong was instantly shocked. He was not a man without experience; over the years, what hadn't he seen?
But Acupuncture point sealing, something that only existed in legends, he had indeed never seen!
His gaze toward Xu Hao instantly grew extremely complex. What was Xu Hao's background, for him to know this Acupuncture point sealing technique that had long been lost?
Niuniu wouldn't lie about the change in taste, and to be able to make her lose her sense of taste in the split second with Xu Hao's touch, it seemed that Acupuncture point sealing was the only explanation.
At this moment, Niuniu's eyes also showed a very curious light. She looked at Xu Hao with interest and asked, "Big brother, how did you do that? Can you teach me?"
Xu Hao coughed lightly and said with a smile, "That is not impossible, but ordinarily, I only teach my Disciples, and it has to be Direct Disciples."
A spark of inspiration flashed in Li Chenggong's eyes. Lei Qianjue had already become Xu Hao's disciple, so if Niuniu took Xu Hao as her master, wouldn't she be able to learn Xu Hao's abilities?
That exquisite medical skill, that formidable Kung Fu, that magical Acupuncture point sealing technique, and who knew how many more of Xu Hao's unrevealed secrets—couldn't they all be learnt?
With this in mind, Li Chenggong quickly said, "Niuniu, what are you waiting for? Take Xu Xiao You as your master!"
Niuniu was overjoyed and immediately knelt before Xu Hao, saying, "Master above, please accept your disciple's bow!"
Xu Hao was somewhat resigned. Li Chenggong was truly an astute old man. Before he had even agreed, Li Chenggong had already prompted Niuniu to take him as her master. Niuniu was also straightforward in her actions—how could he possibly refuse?
