Chapter 1614: Qin Guan
Ling Zhenfei said, "Alright, let me think of a way."
Ling Zhenfei was a bit unsure now; modern medicine couldn't treat it, but he still believed that once the cause was known, a treatment could be found.
After thinking for a moment, Ling Zhenfei returned to the ward, where only the elderly and the child were present.
Upon seeing Ling Zhenfei, the child walked up once again.
"Divine Doctor Ling, how's my dad's illness, can it be treated?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "Don't worry, I'm working on a solution."
The child said, "You're the Divine Doctor, you definitely have a way, right?"
Ling Zhenfei nodded and said, "Of course."
Ling Zhenfei tried his best to comfort the little boy, giving him some hope.
The little boy looked at Ling Zhenfei with admiration, knowing that since Ling Zhenfei had spoken, he would keep his promise.
"What's your name?" Ling Zhenfei asked.
"My name is Qin Guan."
Qin Guan, that's a pretty good name. Ling Zhenfei looked at the elderly man's name again, Qin Shengguo, and noticed the age difference with Qin Guan was quite large.
Qin Guan was only about ten years old, while Qin Shengguo was nearly sixty, appearing to have had a child late in life.
Ling Zhenfei asked, "What does your father do?"
Qin Guan's face fell, and he said, "My dad works at a cement factory. I know his illness is surely related to this, but what can he do? The wages at the cement factory are high, and he has to support the four of us brothers."
Ling Zhenfei was surprised, initially thinking Qin Shengguo had a child late in life; he didn't expect there were four brothers.
Ling Zhenfei asked, "You're four brothers, what about your other siblings?"
Qin Guan said, "I have two older brothers and one sister. They've all grown up and gone to work. They used to come back to see dad, but as dad's illness worsened, they stopped coming."
Ling Zhenfei was deeply shocked, never having imagined such a story.
All four children had the ability to live independently, yet they left their father with their youngest brother. Those older siblings were truly inconsiderate.
As Qin Guan spoke, tears began to fall, though his face remained expressionless; he was clearly accustomed to this situation.
Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry, I will help you."
Suddenly, Ling Zhenfei recalled something. Since the elderly man's lungs had issues, perhaps using his Northern Spiritual Energy could dissolve the accumulated dust in the man's lungs.
With this thought, Ling Zhenfei didn't hesitate to begin treating the elderly man.
After letting the elderly man lie down on the bed, Ling Zhenfei used his Perspective Eye to examine the condition of the man's lungs. Sure enough, it was almost as he expected, nearly covered with dust.
Ling Zhenfei placed his hand on the elderly man's lung area and started transferring his Northern Spiritual Energy to the man.
The elderly man cried out in pain, but quickly stopped.
Moving around in such a lung condition would definitely be painful.
But soon, he could feel a cooling sensation in his lungs, bringing a lot of comfort.
Ling Zhenfei continued to send his Northern Spiritual Energy into the man's lungs, while taking out his Silver Needle with the other hand and inserting it around the lung area.
The lungs were completely surrounded by Ling Zhenfei's Northern Spiritual Energy, and he began gently using the energy to break down the dust.
After about half an hour, Ling Zhenfei was pleasantly surprised to find that some of the dust had been cleared from the lungs, and the effects were noticeable.
Overjoyed, Ling Zhenfei continued his treatment without stopping.
Many doctors came into the room, wanting to see Ling Zhenfei's treatment techniques.
However, apart from the needle application, they saw Ling Zhenfei's hands gliding over the lungs as if massaging.
After watching for over half an hour, some got bored and left, only two nurses remained, ready to act on any instruction from Ling Zhenfei.
But Ling Zhenfei gave no orders and continued his treatment.
Time passed quickly, and soon it was late into the night. Though the treatment was effective, continually outputting Northern Spiritual Energy for several hours was exhausting for Ling Zhenfei.
Qin Shengguo's lung dust had been partially cleared, which was significant for him as his expression showed considerable relief.
Ling Zhenfei could sense his breathing was also much easier, allowing him to feel at ease.
After finishing, Ling Zhenfei noticed the two nurses were almost asleep.
"Divine Doctor Ling, you've worked hard."
Qin Guan had been watching all along, afraid to miss any detail.
Ling Zhenfei checked the time; it was already 3 AM, time had truly flown by.
Five to six hours of continuous Northern Spiritual Energy output had cleared about half of the dust; treating pneumoconiosis was indeed highly demanding.
Ling Zhenfei said, "Your father's illness can indeed be treated, but it's not easy. Let's continue tomorrow, it's too late now. You can rest on the bed next to you."
After speaking, Ling Zhenfei took out a Lianging Elixir and placed it into the elderly man's mouth.
Although some dust had been cleared, the lungs had suffered severe damage; the Lianging Elixir would speed up recovery.
The effects of the Lianging Elixir were more than just simple recovery; it could also enhance the elderly man's constitution. Due to prolonged difficulty eating, the elderly man was now emaciated.
"Thank you, Divine Doctor Ling, you are indeed an Immortal, a living Immortal."
Qin Guan was incredibly excited, to the point of being at a loss for words.
The two nurses stood up upon hearing the voices, always ready for instructions from Ling Zhenfei.
Ling Zhenfei walked out and the two nurses followed.
"Dr. Ling, do you have any instructions?" the nurse asked.
Ling Zhenfei said, "No instructions for now, I'm leaving to rest, I'll come back tomorrow for more treatment."
"Alright, Dr. Ling, would you like us to arrange a place for you to rest?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "No need, I don't trust I could rest well in a hospital."
The two young nurses understood, smiling slightly. Resting in the hospital could be interrupted if a major patient came or if more doctors were needed, making true rest difficult.
After speaking, Ling Zhenfei headed downstairs.
The two young nurses watched Ling Zhenfei leave, their eyes full of admiration.
"He's so handsome, if only Divine Doctor Ling noticed me."
"What are you thinking? Don't you know who Divine Doctor Ling likes, the gynecology Director Liu, our hospital's acknowledged number one beauty? How can you compete?"
"That might not be the case, Director Liu is certainly beautiful, but she already has a child, I'm still young; as long as Divine Doctor Ling isn't married, we all have a chance."
"It would be wonderful if I became the Divine Doctor's wife. You know, Director Liu was only known for her beauty, but knowing her relationship with Divine Doctor Ling now, her status has risen."
