Douluo: From Blue Silver Grass to Nine-Leaf Sword Grass

Chapter 18: Medical Consultation
Jiang Li didn't know about Yu Xiaogang accepting Tang San as his disciple. Even if he knew, it wouldn't matter. When Jiang Li said that a plant-type martial spirit absorbed an animal-type spirit beast, he just smiled.

Don’t even talk about cultivating a genius into a genius. He or she is already a genius and will be popular wherever he or she goes. On the contrary, cultivating a loser into a genius is a real skill.

Besides, what else do you, a level 29 Great Spirit Master, have besides common sense? And some of your theories are so complicated that you can't even explain them to yourself, so don't harm others.

What? You said Tang San has the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline? That's fine. Jiang Li said, it's fucked up. Others can match whatever they want. If they fail, they have the bloodline to support them. It's not like me who can only match spirit rings one by one, and I have to mutate my martial spirit. It's too difficult.

Tiandou City, Ye Family Clinic.

At this time, a middle-aged noble with a big belly was sitting in front of Jiang Li.

"Tell me, what's your situation." Jiang Li looked at the noble in front of him and said lightly.

Jiang Li has been here for a week. Since he is new, not many people come to him for medical treatment. Most of the time, he can only see a few patients because he is too busy. The noble in front of him is one of them.

"Doctor Jiang, I don't know what's wrong with me recently. I always feel sore in my waist and knees, weakness in my limbs, mental fatigue, and weakness in my legs. Can you help me take a look?" The noble said worriedly.

Jiang Li couldn't help but look strange when he heard this. He was very familiar with this symptom, but he was not sure, so he waited and saw.

Jiang Li coughed dryly and said, "Stretch out your wrist so I can feel your pulse."

The four basic methods of diagnosis in traditional Chinese medicine are observation, auscultation, questioning and palpation.

Observation is the doctor's use of the naked eye to observe the patient's external spirit, color, shape, and posture, and to diagnose the patient's specific condition by observing the patient's mental state, skin condition, and excrement.

Smell is the process of using the doctor's hearing and sense of smell to collect materials such as the sound of the patient's voice and the smell of his breathing and coughing as a reference for judging the disease.

Asking is a method in which doctors talk with patients or people who know the situation to understand the patient's subjective symptoms, disease occurrence and evolution, treatment experience, etc., as the basis for diagnosis.

"Qie" means feeling the pulse, also known as taking the pulse, which is the palpation of a certain part of the patient's body surface.

Coincidentally, Jiang Li knows all four, and he's not bad at them. He already knows what the disease is by asking just now. However, the onset of some diseases is similar. To be on the safe side, he still needs to take the pulse to confirm the specific disease. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing if he made a mistake.

After hearing what Jiang Li said, the middle-aged man put his wrist in front of Jiang Li.

Looking at the noble's outstretched wrist, Jiang Li put his index, middle and ring finger together and placed them on the noble's wrist.

There are some requirements for taking the pulse, especially the finger techniques, which include selecting fingers, placing fingers, and moving fingers.

Finger selection means that doctors usually use the index finger, middle finger and ring finger of the right hand to diagnose the pulse. The pulps of these three fingers are sensitive and suitable for sensing the pulse. Finger placement means that the doctor presses the middle finger on the artery on the inner side of the high bone of the patient's palm transverse line (i.e. the position of the Guan pulse), the index finger in front of the Guan (i.e. the position of the Cun pulse), and the ring finger behind the Guan (i.e. the position of the Chi pulse). The three fingers should be in an arch shape, with the fingertips aligned, and the pulse should be touched with the pulps. The density of finger placement should be adapted to the patient's height, arm length and the thickness of the doctor's fingers.

Finger pressing is when doctors use different strengths to press the pulse to understand the strength, rhythm and location of the pulse. Usually there are three types of strengths: light pressing (floating pressing), medium pressing and deep pressing, which correspond to different levels of the pulse. Jiang Li used the finger pressing method here.

After taking the pulse for a while, Jiang Li confirmed the condition of the noble in front of him. It was indeed what he thought, but he was hesitant whether he should say it. After all, saying it out loud could lead to death.

Jiang Li coughed twice and said, "Ahem, sir, I already know your illness, but are you sure you want to say it here?"

The nobleman looked around after hearing this, hesitated for a moment, and said with determination: "Doctor, please tell me, I can accept it."

"Okay, since you can accept it, I'll tell you. Your pulse is generally deep, thin and rapid. While the pulse is deep, the pulse body is thin, and it beats faster, far exceeding the normal speed. According to what you said, the symptom is kidney deficiency." After getting the accurate answer, Jiang Li didn't care anymore. Anyway, it wasn't him who was going to die. You asked me to say it, so don't blame me if he dies.

"Quack! You quack! How could I have kidney deficiency? I fight my wife for 300 rounds every day, how could I not know whether she has kidney deficiency or not? I want to file a complaint! I want to file a complaint! Since when can even a young boy be a doctor?"

The noble was furious when he heard this. Kidneys are a big taboo for a man. A man cannot say no. Even if you say it, you have to be subtle about it. But you, a young boy, said it in public. How can he live his life?

"Look, you're anxious again." Jiang Li listened to the noble's words without any ripples on his face, because he had already thought of this situation. Then, Jiang Li continued, "I didn't say I can't cure it."

"What?" The mad noble suddenly stopped when he heard Jiang Li's words, and then immediately changed his attitude and said, "Divine doctor! Divine doctor! Tell me what method to use to treat me. The reward doesn't matter, as long as it can make me strong and vigorous."

"Hey, if you hadn't told me that I was a quack just now, I remember you would have sued me. How come you became a miracle doctor so quickly?" Jiang Li teased with a wry smile.

Jiang Li knew this kind of person very well. He was just doing it for face. He had encountered this kind of person in his previous life. After all, kidneys are an important part of a man, as important as a man's third leg.

"Hehe, I didn't expect you to be so capable. I hope you don't mind, Doctor Jiang. This is just a small token of my sincerity. I hope Doctor Jiang won't be angry." As he said that, the nobleman took out a bag of gold soul coins to apologize.

In fact, the noble himself discovered that as he grew older, he became increasingly unable to cope with the situation. When paying taxes, he would often lose confidence after a short while. Even eating whale glue was of no use. So he thought of trying his luck at the Ye Family Clinic, which was ranked number one in Tiandou City. Unexpectedly, he found the disease right after just one touch. The clinic really lived up to its reputation.

Jiang Li glanced at the gold soul coins that the noble took out. There were quite a few of them, probably about forty or fifty. It seemed that the noble took so many just for a small tip. It seemed that the noble was not joking.

Since he had received the benefit, he naturally had to work. Jiang Li took the cloth bag and said, "Okay, I'll prescribe a medicine for you. You just take it according to the ingredients' proportions above and drink it." As he spoke, Jiang Li took out a pen and paper and quickly wrote a prescription.

贵族接过一看，上面写着：“熟地黄15-20克、龟甲胶10克、鹿角胶5克（或不加）、枸杞子15克、山萸肉15克、山药10克，牛膝10克”

The medicinal materials on Douluo Continent are similar to those in the previous life, except that some of them are called differently, so it is not too difficult to prescribe a medicine for kidney deficiency.

"Thank you, Doctor Jiang." After glancing at the prescription, the nobleman couldn't wait to get the medicine to test its authenticity. He had no choice but to stand up after being oppressed for too long.
