Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 107: Can Traditional Chinese Medicine Solve It?

Li Yi couldn’t maintain his composure after hearing Qian Rong’s words, his face turning alternating shades of red and white. He thought to himself, who on earth is this old man, speaking in such a way, is it going to kill him to not expose someone’s shortcomings! Seeing Lin Feng only fueled his anger even more. He was absolutely seething with jealousy; who exactly was Lin Feng, how could someone so young have attained such a heaven-defying level of understanding in both Chinese and Western medical theories? It was simply too unbelievable; even the legendary photographic memory might not reach this level, right?

Today was a complete embarrassment...

The Leader’s Medical Care Group took a huge fall today...

The other two doctors in the Leader’s Medical Care Group stared at Lin Feng, unsure of what to say. They were shocked that someone so young could master Chinese and Western medicine to such a demonic level. They lamented why they hadn’t achieved as much as Lin Feng, a young man, at their age. The world was simply too unfair! All their years lived seemed wasted!

"Lin Feng can cure my illness? Is his medical skill really that amazing?" After listening to the two elders, Leng Hui gained a bit of understanding. It seemed that this old scholar’s son-in-law was indeed very impressive. But how could he be more skilled than Chen Guisheng, who had been a renowned expert for decades?

Thinking this, he looked to Chen Guisheng, hoping Chen could provide an answer. After all, they had been acquainted for decades, and Chen would never deceive him.

"Lin Feng’s medical expertise is indeed very high, even higher than mine, that’s a fact!" Chen Guisheng felt somewhat embarrassed to admit that someone nearly 50 years his junior had superior medical skills, which took considerable courage. But remembering his master’s teachings, there was no longer any barrier. Only by letting go of the pursuit of fame and fortune could one chase the true path of medicine, and it was this attitude that had allowed him to reach his current level of achievement.

Moreover, since Lin Feng was also his junior fellow apprentice, there was nothing to be ashamed of. He had only spent a few days with the master, while his junior brother might have spent much longer. Thus, it wasn’t surprising that Lin Feng had such a high level of medical skill.

"However, Old Leng, your condition is not very optimistic right now. We’re all troubled about what to do. In theory, surgery is necessary, but your body can’t handle it right now. Besides, we can no longer delay using Chinese medical methods..." With a healer’s parental heart, Chen Guisheng decided to finally tell Leng Hui about the true nature of his illness. Chen was also quite clear about his own physical condition. It was better to make decisions while he was still coherent.

"Grandpa Chen, is there really no other way?" Leng Mei became nervous after hearing Chen Guisheng’s words. If what Grandpa Chen said was true, then there really was no way to save her grandfather. What were they to do? Opting for surgery might cure him, but he might not survive the operation table. Choosing Chinese medicine meant only waiting for that inevitable moment. The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became, and her eyes began to redden.

"Uncle Chen, you must find a way! Is there really no better solution?" Leng Junsheng became panicky after hearing Chen Guisheng speak so definitively. If there truly was no other way, what were they to do about his father? They would have to choose one method of treatment, but neither option was what they wanted. They couldn’t afford to let anything happen to their father.

"Do you think I don’t want to find a better solution? But I just can’t find a better one right now. I want to cure my old buddy more than anyone else," Chen Guisheng felt extremely distressed, as he truly had no options left. If there were even the slightest chance, he would have exhausted all efforts, but Leng Hui’s illness had indeed exceeded his abilities.

The two doctors from the Leader’s Medical Care Group remained silent. If their leader had no solution, they were even less capable.

"I knew it, in this situation, Chinese medicine can’t possibly solve the issue. But when I wanted to perform surgery on the leader, you resisted vehemently," said Li Yi, suddenly feeling pleased upon hearing their troubled voices. As the only Western medicine expert in the group, if surgery was the option, he would undoubtedly be the lead surgeon. Most importantly, surgery was the only hope now, but without it, there was no hope at all. If he could seize this moment to persuade them, wouldn’t the opportunity be at hand!

"Who said Chinese medicine can’t solve it?" Lin Feng looked at Li Yi and calmly threw out a sentence.

"Chinese medicine can solve it? What kind of daydream are you having? It’s obvious only surgery can remove the object. When have you ever heard of Chinese medicine performing surgery to extract something? That’s just a huge joke!" Li Yi pointed at Lin Feng, feeling like Lin Feng was a clown uttering such an idiotic statement. Bragging without draft, such boasting could only make others think you’re a fool.

"Your ignorance only represents your own, but there are very few people who know this method now," Lin Feng said with a helpless shake of his head, finding he had nothing to say to someone like Li Yi.

Since when did Traditional Chinese Medicine have surgeries for removing objects? We, the national masters of Chinese medicine, don’t know about it. What is really going on here? The master doctors from both medical groups looked at each other, confusion apparent in their eyes. Clearly, neither knew of this method of removal in Chinese medicine. Is this young man bragging, or does he truly possess this skill? We older folks have been practicing medicine for decades and have never heard such a method. Is this real or fake?

"Whether I’m ignorant or you are, it is well-accepted common knowledge that Chinese medicine at best has only minor surface surgeries. Do you really think you are some kind of miracle healer, talking big like this without fear of your tongue twisting?" Li Yi grew even more furious with Lin Feng’s rebuttal. Aren’t you just a lunatic? I can’t fathom what goes through your head, spouting such unbelievable nonsense. Are you intentionally trying to mess things up, to destroy any hope I had for a surgery?

But by destroying my hope, can you actually operate? You’ve talked a big game, but what if you are really asked to perform the treatment? I’d like to see what you would do then! With that thought, Li Yi looked at Lin Feng and began to smile malevolently.

"Lin Feng, are you referring to the legendary ’The Magpie Travels Record’? Have you read it?" Chen Guisheng suddenly remembered as he saw Lin Feng’s insistent confidence. There were indeed surgical texts in traditional Chinese medicine, but those were now only matters of legend. Could it be that he possessed this book, or had he actually read it?

"What? How is that possible!" A doctor from the Leader’s Medical Care Group, upon hearing Chen Guisheng’s words, also recalled that he had seen such a surgical book mentioned in ancient texts, but now they were considered mere legends. How could such a book still exist? If it did, then it might be possible to perform internal object removal surgery. At this thought, the doctor became visibly agitated and stared intently at Lin Feng, hoping for an answer.

"I have read that book," Lin Feng thought for a moment, realizing that what he knew about Chinese surgery did indeed come from that text.

Ah...

"However, I still cannot let you treat Leng Hui," Chen Guisheng said, not knowing what else to say. He didn’t know whether to believe or not, because no one had ever seen that legendary book. He couldn’t confirm whether Lin Feng truly possessed the medical skills from the legends. Even now, knowing that Lin Feng was his junior brother, he dared not let him operate on Old Leng. Lin Feng was just too young, too young for anyone to feel at ease.

Even though he knew his junior brother’s theoretical knowledge was exceptional, practical clinical experience wasn’t something theoretical ability could replace. It needed years of accumulation, and surgery was not a matter of mere theorizing—it involved human life. He just couldn’t risk Old Leng’s life like that!

The other two doctors from the Leader’s Medical Care Group stood there, dumbfounded. Nobody could have imagined that a book of medical lore actually existed and that this young man had indeed studied it. This young man must be bluffing. If such a book existed, wouldn’t have it been discovered long ago? Why would it only come to light today?

"Old Chen, we’ve asked all we could, but why can’t we let Lin Feng operate? Do you want Old Soldier to continue suffering like this?" Ding Yi was displeased with what he heard. If you can’t treat him, why prevent someone else from trying? I’m worried too, but if I weren’t, I wouldn’t have brought Lin Feng here.

"Old Chen, go on, tell us why you won’t let Lin Feng treat Old Soldier. We’ve been friends for so many years; do you think we would harm him?" Qian Rong was now upset. After all this back and forth, Lin Feng was still being denied the chance to treat Old Soldier. The national masters couldn’t match Lin Feng’s skill; why not let him try, rather than let Old Soldier deteriorate and await death?

"Grandpa, I truly feel that Lin Feng is very capable. Uncle Chen has been unable to resolve the issue, but Lin Feng has succeeded. You know even Uncle Chen couldn’t cure my illness, but Lin Feng managed to in the end, didn’t he?" Leng Mei whispered into her grandfather’s ear. The recent debate only solidified her belief in Lin Feng’s extraordinary medical skills. For the sake of her grandfather’s health, she was determined to convince them to let Lin Feng treat him.

Leng Hui, hearing his granddaughter, Leng Mei’s words, also remembered how Chen Guisheng had failed to cure her dysmenorrhea. One can imagine how difficult the ailment was to treat when even a master of Chinese medicine couldn’t resolve it. Despite consulting every available doctor, none had been effective. It was inconceivable to them that Lin Feng could cure such a problem, bringing relief to his granddaughter.

Additionally, seeing the intense dispute over his own condition and how Lin Feng alone had stood against these national peak medical experts, his medical skills were self-evident. Even more crucial was the fact that they had no other options left—surgery was not viable, conservative Chinese medicine therapy was ineffective. It was better to take a chance with Lin Feng—there was still hope for survival. After all, he wasn’t ready to leave this world yet; he had yet to see the fourth generation of his family.
