Chapter 393: Chapter 393: This is a Person who can Ascend to the Sky Chapter 393: Chapter 393: This is a Person who can Ascend to the Sky “I’ve already made the diagnosis.”
Upon hearing Lin Dong’s words, both Jiang Song and the people from the Zhou Family were initially stunned, then they couldn’t help but let out a disdainful sneer.
Jiang Song began to speak,
“Kid, this isn’t a place where you can brag. Young people should know their limits!”
“Tianming, where did you find such an arrogant person? Hurry up and have him leave. With his age, how can he cure diseases? He’s probably not even as good as an intern under Dr. Jiang Song.” Zhou Tianzheng frowned as he spoke to his younger brother Jiang Tianming.
Jiang Tianming was about to explain; however, Lin Dong spoke first.
He turned to Jiang Song and said,
“Just because you can’t do it doesn’t mean I can’t.”
After speaking, he ignored Jiang Song and instead turned to look at Elder Zhou Gong.
“Elder Zhou, you must have been a martial artist in the past, right?”
Hearing this, Elder Zhou Gong continuously nodded:
“Correct, you can actually tell that I was once a martial artist! Seems like you have some skills.”
“Elder, what skills are you talking about? If one wants to know whether you were a martial artist, all they have to do is a little investigation, right? What kind of medical arts is that?” Zhou Tianzheng was the first one to retort.
Elder Zhou Gong didn’t pay attention to him but continued to look at Lin Dong and asked,
“Young man, you said you have discerned what’s wrong with me. Can you elaborate?”
Lin Dong nodded, then posed another question,
“Elder Zhou, when you were a martial artist, did you compete in valor with someone and then got injured by that person?”
“On top of that, you were also poisoned by that person.”
“This…” Upon hearing this, Zhou Gong was visibly surprised, “How do you know?”
He had never told anyone about this matter except for the person he had competed with back then; absolutely no one else knew of it.
Not even his three sons were aware.
In his youth, he indeed was a martial artist, at a time when he was not yet the Clan Chief of the Zhou Shi Clan.
Back then, Jianghai didn’t have the Black Dragon Society, and Huo Sanjia was the local power.
Huo Sanjia had coveted the assets of the Zhou Shi Clan, wanting to take them for his own.
All the martial artists of the Zhou Shi Clan had united, clashing fiercely against the forces led by Huo Sanjia.
At the time, Elder Zhou, renowned as the foremost martial artist of the Zhou Family, directly confronted Huo Sanjia.
The two fought for several hours, and in the end, Elder Zhou sustained an injury to his dantian and was poisoned by Huo Sanjia.
Of course, Huo Sanjia fared even worse than Elder Zhou; he was severely injured, his underlings were all annihilated by the Zhou Shi Clan.
He alone escaped, on the run by himself.
It was after that battle that Elder Zhou was nominated to be the successor as Clan Chief of the Zhou Shi Clan.
Later, Elder Zhou successfully ascended to the position. But his martial arts cultivation dissipated over time.
As for the poison, although the Zhou Shi Clan had abundant medicinal resources to suppress it, it still left him with sequela.
Now that he was old, the chronic illness in his body had become more and more pronounced, resulting in his current condition.
These things, he had always kept secret, not speaking of them to others, but now Lin Dong brought them to light. How could he not be shocked?
“Elder Zhou, I can treat your illness. If you trust me, I can make you stand up today.”
Lin Dong didn’t waste further words and spoke directly.
“Are these words true?” Elder Zhou asked excitedly.
“Of course!”
“Good! Then please, young friend, treat this old man!”
As Elder Zhou spoke, he sat in his wheelchair and gestured towards Lin Dong with a salute.
His second son, Zhou Tianzheng, hurriedly said,
“Elder, that cannot be. He’s just a greenhorn; how can he cure diseases?”
“If he truly didn’t understand medical arts, how could he identify the origin of the hidden illness in my body?”
“Besides, even if he truly can’t cure it, what’s the harm in letting him try?”
Upon hearing Elder Zhou speak like this, Zhou Tianzheng reluctantly closed his mouth.
But when looking at Lin Dong, he still sent out a warning,
“If you can’t cure it, or if you make Elder Zhou’s condition worse, I won’t let you off easily!”
The famous doctor from the Capital City, Jiang Song, brought by Lin Tiance, was shaking his head continuously.
He thought to himself that Elder Zhou really was senile to let a Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner, a youngster, treat him.
He couldn’t resist but to caution,
“Elder Zhou, Mister Zhou Tianzheng, you had better think twice. I have seen too many patients treated by Traditional Chinese Medicine who were then sent to us Western Doctors for treatment.”
“Many of those patients previously had only minor ailments. But because they were treated by Traditional Chinese Medicine and consumed too much Chinese medicine with side effects, their conditions became increasingly severe.”
“And many of those who were sent over to us… it was already too late to save them…”
His words, somewhat alarmist, made Zhou Tianzheng unable to resist attempting to persuade Elder Zhou once more.
Elder Zhou waved his hand, “It’s fine. I trust in Traditional Chinese Medicine!”
At that moment, Lin Dong too started to approach Elder Zhou.
But just as he stepped over the threshold of the hall, an unexpected incident arose.
Suddenly, at that moment, a dazzling glow lit up from within the stone slab of the threshold.
That glow was jade green, incredibly brilliant.
Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned into silence.
“What… what’s the situation? Is the story about our Zhou Family from back then true? Is there actually a piece of jade hidden in the stone slab of this threshold?”
Jiang Tianming exclaimed, recalling the story he had previously discussed with Lin Dong.
Shen Yun was also dumbfounded, her mouth agape and at a loss for words.
All members of the Zhou Family were bewildered; upon witnessing the scene before them, they were like seeing a ghost. They all knew of the family story.
However, they had always taken it as just a tale. How could they have imagined it to be true!
“This is… this is the work of someone who can ascend to the heavens!”
Elder Zhou mumbled, his cloudy eyes intently fixed on Lin Dong, filled with exceptional excitement.
