Early the next morning.

Lincheng People's Hospital, Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine Inpatient Department.

The atmosphere in the ward was very oppressive.

Two doctors from the Traditional Chinese Medicine department were standing around the hospital bed, their expressions increasingly grave.

The leader was Li Chongde, chief physician of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Standing next to him was Associate Chief Physician Zhao Wenbo.

Both of them were frowning as they took turns examining the patient on the bed.

Lying in the hospital bed was a man in his thirties, surnamed Liu, a well-known food blogger.

This person has contracted a particularly strange and bizarre illness.

Loss of taste.

Whether you're eating delicacies or spicy hot pot, it all tastes the same – dry, waxy.

It's exactly the same as chewing white candle wax.

You can't taste any flavor at all.

In order to get treatment, he visited the departments of dentistry, neurology, and gastroenterology.

I had a full set of tests done, which cost a lot of money, but all the results were normal.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with his physical indicators.

But the sense of taste is gone.

He makes a living by talking and has been a food blogger for eight years.

Losing your sense of taste is like throwing away your rice bowl.

In order to avoid losing fans, he had to grit his teeth and keep making videos every day.

Pretending to enjoy the food, but secretly suffering from insomnia every night, she's almost driven to depression.

Having exhausted all other options and with Western medicine proving ineffective, he turned to the Traditional Chinese Medicine department to try his luck.

But now it seems that the Traditional Chinese Medicine department is also stuck.

Li Chongde took the pulse twice, then withdrew his hand, looking puzzled.

"The pulse is steady, the blood and qi are flowing smoothly, and there is no deficiency or blockage in the five internal organs."

Zhao Wenbo also examined the tongue coating and the fundus of the eyes, but still found nothing.

"Strange, we can't figure out the cause of the illness at all."

According to traditional Chinese medicine, the spleen governs the five flavors, and the stomach qi communicates with the tongue.

"A loss of taste is definitely a problem with the spleen, stomach, or meridians."

"But he showed no signs of illness whatsoever."

The two doctors had been practicing medicine for many years, and this was the first time they had encountered such a strange disease with symptoms but no lesions.

I have absolutely no idea where to start.

After a long stalemate, Li Chongde sighed.

Without hesitation, I called the nurse directly.

"Go and call Dr. Lin Yuan over."

Now, the entire TCM department can handle any difficult or complicated disease that they can't cure.

The first person that comes to everyone's mind is definitely Lin Yuan.

He is the living advertisement of the Traditional Chinese Medicine department, specializing in treating all kinds of incurable and strange diseases.

At this moment, in the doctor's office.

Lin Yuan was quietly flipping through the medical records in his hands.

Yesterday, my relationship with Lin Wanrou took a leap forward, and we had a peaceful and tender night.

He was exceptionally relaxed and in excellent condition today.

Not long after, a nurse rushed over to deliver a message.

"Dr. Lin, a patient with a strange illness has been admitted to the inpatient department. Director Li and the others can't handle it. Could you please go over there?"

Lin Yuan nodded, put down the documents in his hand, and got up to walk towards the inpatient department.

He had just reached the door of the ward when a familiar figure arrived.

It's Song Yuwei.

She is 28 years old this year, and is both beautiful and skilled in medicine.

Ever since I witnessed Lin Yuan's incredible medical skills firsthand.

She was completely captivated.

She actively participated in the hospital's initiative to film short videos promoting medical science.

Firstly, I genuinely want to observe more top-notch medical techniques.

Secondly, he genuinely believes in Lin Yuan's potential.

The video of Lin Yuan treating patients went viral last time, and the hospital's reputation soared.

Song Yuwei also received an award, which fueled her enthusiasm.

Today I heard that a popular online blogger with a strange illness has arrived, bringing his own audience.

She rushed over immediately, carrying filming equipment, ready to record the whole process.

The two entered the ward one after the other.

Upon seeing Lin Yuan arrive, Li Chongde and Zhao Wenbo felt as if they had seen a savior.

The worry on his face vanished almost instantly.

"Kobayashi, you've finally arrived!"

"This patient is too strange; the two of us can't figure out the root of the problem."

Lin Yuan nodded indifferently, his gaze falling on Liu Bozhu on the bed.

"What's going on?"

The blogger, surnamed Liu, looked distressed and hurriedly spoke.

"Doctor, my food has no taste!"

"Absolutely none of the sweet, sour, bitter, spicy, or salty flavors!"

"We've done all the tests, consulted with every department, but no one can find the problem!"

"I'm going crazy!"

Lin Yuan didn't rush to take his pulse.

His gaze was calm, and he glanced at the other person seemingly casually.

In reality, he secretly activated the Qi Observation Technique to carefully observe the opponent's aura.

The problem becomes immediately apparent.

This person's five internal organs are in good condition, and their blood and qi circulation is normal.

Just like the test report, there was indeed no disease inside.

Only the surface of the tongue's meridians was shrouded in a very faint layer of dry, hot, and turbid air.

The turbid qi does not invade the internal organs and does not affect the pulse.

It will only completely block out the senses of the tongue.

This is the fundamental reason why all doctors cannot find the problem.

To be on the safe side, Lin Yuan began to take the patient's pulse.

Zhao Wenbo, who was standing to the side, analyzed the situation in a low voice.

"I suspect it's a latent nerve blockage that can't be detected by instruments."

Li Chongde shook his head.

"No, blockages should be accompanied by a slow and hesitant pulse; this doesn't match up at all."

The two were still making wild guesses.

At this moment, Lin Yuan spoke, and his words sealed the deal.

"It's not due to blockage or physical weakness."

"He has been overeating scalding hot food for a long time, which has burned the meridians on the surface of his tongue."

"The internal organs are intact, but the external senses are numb."

"It is a special and strange disease that causes external damage but keeps the body healthy."

The moment those words were spoken, the entire room fell silent.

Li Chongde and Zhao Wenbo were both stunned.

Liu Bozhu's pupils dilated, and he instantly looked up.

Lin Yuan continued with a simple and straightforward explanation.

"You frequently visit restaurants, and for the sake of video effects, you only eat piping hot pot, high-temperature barbecue, and dishes that are extremely oily and spicy."

"Years of high-temperature burning have completely numbed the senses on the surface of the tongue."

"It damages the superficial senses, not the internal organs."

"So it can't be detected by pulse diagnosis, and the instruments can't detect it either."

After hearing these words, Liu Bozhu suddenly realized the truth.

I almost couldn't hold back my tears.

"Yes, yes, yes! Absolutely right!"

"For the sake of video quality, I've always eaten it piping hot for the past eight years!"

"All the doctors prescribe medication to regulate my body, but no one ever asks about my eating habits!"

A strange illness that had been troubling him for months.

Lin Yuan's few words directly revealed the root of the problem!

Li Chongde and Zhao Wenbo were filled with shame, but also with admiration.

They clung to the textbook pathogenesis, becoming more and more confused the more they investigated.

As a result, Lin Yuan broke with convention and saw through the essence at a glance!

The difference is obvious!

Song Yuwei stood to the side, holding a camera, her eyes shining.

As expected of Lin Yuan.

A mysterious, latent disease that even neurologists and general practitioners cannot diagnose.

He made a precise diagnosis based solely on visual observation!

This medical skill is outrageous!

Lin Yuan remained calm and spoke softly.

"This disease looks strange, but it's actually very easy to cure."

"Your internal organs are healthy, so you don't need to take medicine or have an IV drip."

"I will use acupuncture to clear your meridians and dispel the dryness and turbidity on the surface."

"Once the stomach qi returns to its proper place, the sense of taste can be restored on the same day."

Liu Bozhu trembled all over, his voice shaking with excitement.

"Really?! It can really be cured in one day?!"

He was tormented by this strange illness to the point of depression.

I'd long since given up hope.

Hearing those words now makes me feel instantly revitalized!

"Um."

Lin Yuan nodded slightly, his tone resolute.

"Prepare to perform acupuncture on the patient."

Li Chongde immediately instructed the nurses to prepare the instruments.

The two of them stepped aside to observe attentively.

This special and rare condition, combined with Lin Yuan's unique acupuncture technique.

These are all rare learning opportunities for them.

Song Yuwei held the camera steadily.

The camera remained fixed on Lin Yuan.

She was certain in her heart

This video is definitely going to go viral again!
