From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

Lin Shirong was naturally unwilling, but seeing that his master was determined, he had no choice but to clasp his hands in a fist and say to Jiang Liu, "President Jiang, although my master doesn't want me anymore, it doesn't mean I have to call you master."

"You bastard!"

Huang Feihong was in a foul mood.

"It's alright."

Jiang Liu wasn't annoyed at all, and laughed, "Although Master Huang has severed his master-disciple relationship with you, you can still visit him in your spare time."

If you want to serve Master Huang, why should you be limited to the title of 'master and apprentice'?

"And I'm a young man... How about this, if you're ever willing to learn skills from me, you can call me 'Master,' and I'll call you 'Brother Shirong.' We can each learn our own skills."

Upon hearing this, Lin Shirong looked at Jiang Liu with surprise and asked, "You don't need me to take care of you in your old age?"

"Well, what can I say? If you become fickle and don't follow the right path in the future, I might have to take care of you in your old age," Jiang Liu chuckled and teased.

"What he said is true. Jiang Liu has cultivated for so long, and besides his formidable strength, what is most commendable is his 'health preservation' – he's incredibly good at staying alive!"

Duanmu Ying chuckled, but did not reveal the secret that Jiang Liu had already attained "immortality".

As expected, Huang Feihong, Master Liu, and Doctor Duanmu did not think about "immortality," but only assumed that Jiang Liu was able to maintain his body at its peak condition before his time was up.

Even so, they were incredibly envious.

"Master!"

at this time.

Mr. Niu's disciple ran from the front hall, anxiously saying, "Master Li's illness has flared up again, and he keeps crying out in pain! Because he is Master Li, we dare not restrain him, and can only let him smash things in the room!"

In an instant.

Mr. Niu's expression changed, and he said to everyone, "I have to go and appease Master Li."

"I came here to save lives, and by the way, to discuss medical techniques with Mr. Niu. I'll go with Mr. Niu to take a look."

After Jiang Liu finished speaking, he followed Mr. Niu.

The others also wanted to see Jiang Liu's medical skills, so they followed him.

Leaving the courtyard, walking through the corridor, and arriving at the front hall, in a room to the left of the medicine cabinet, we saw Master Li, who was covering his head with one hand and gripping a stool tightly with the other, banging on the ground around him. Three apprentices on each side were jumping and trying to persuade him, but dared not approach.

Because Master Li is called Li Hongyang, all the teahouses, gambling dens, brothels and other businesses on this street are under his control. Who would dare to offend him?

Therefore, Mr. Niu's apprentice only dared to kindly advise from the sidelines, and did not dare to step forward to pry it open, lest Mr. Li hold a grudge afterward.

"It hurts! It hurts! My head feels like it's going to split open!"

Upon seeing Mr. Niu, Mr. Li shook his head, dropped the stool he was holding, walked towards him, pressed his hand on Mr. Niu's shoulder, and panted.

"Mr. Niu, you must cure me! I'll pay any price afterward! This time, you must cure me completely!"

At this point, Mr. Li cried out again, "It hurts! It hurts so much!"

Then, he smacked his head hard and threatened Mr. Niu again: "If you can't cure me! Or if you kill me! Neither I nor my son will let you get away with this!"

Just as Master Huang said!

People dared not offend the doctor.

But there are plenty of people with mental problems in this world!

Not to mention that Li Hongyang in front of us is really out of his mind!

Mr. Niu could only coax him, helping Mr. Li to sit down on a recliner, massaging his temples to relieve his pain, and ordering his apprentice to bring him a pill, which he fed to him until he fell into a deep sleep. Only then did Mr. Niu breathe a sigh of relief.

"To be honest, Lao Liu, Brother Duanmu, I really have no way to cure Master Li's illness."

Mr. Niu sighed, then rallied his spirits. “Now that you two are here, why don’t you help me cure this Mr. Li? It will put his mind at ease and also settle my mind. Afterwards, I will owe you both a favor.”

Master Liu stepped forward and used the four-word method of observation, listening, questioning, and palpation. However, since Master Li was in a coma, the methods of listening and questioning were difficult to apply. But by observing his complexion, skin color, and tongue color, and then taking his pulse, he was able to determine his illness: "deficiency of vital energy, phlegm and blood stasis, internal accumulation of toxins, and emotional imbalance."

Deficiency of vital energy: Insufficient congenital endowment or prolonged illness leading to physical weakness, resulting in poor circulation of qi and blood;

Phlegm and blood stasis: Phlegm and dampness, and blood stasis obstruct the meridians, accumulating into lumps;

Internal accumulation of toxins: External pathogenic toxins or internally generated heat toxins accumulate in the brain;

Emotional imbalance: Long-term worry, anger, and resentment lead to stagnation of liver qi and blood stasis.

Physician Duanmu also saw the problem and offered a solution: "We need to strengthen the body's resistance, eliminate pathogens, resolve phlegm and dissipate nodules, and promote blood circulation and unblock the meridians."

After saying that, he took out the needles he carried with him and, without saying a word, peeled off Mr. Li's clothes and trousers. With his hands moving quickly, in less than a minute, he had inserted needles into all the major acupoints related to qi and blood all over Mr. Li's body, turning him into a hedgehog with thorns on the front.

The so-called "strengthening the body's resistance and eliminating pathogens" refers to replenishing qi and blood, regulating the functions of the internal organs, and enhancing physical constitution.

To resolve phlegm and dissipate nodules, herbs such as Fritillaria thunbergii and Pinellia ternata are used to dissolve phlegm and blood stasis.

"Activating blood circulation and clearing the meridians" refers to using herbs such as Ligusticum chuanxiong and Salvia miltiorrhiza to improve blood circulation in the brain.

All of these involve medication.

Now, Physician Duanmu is using acupuncture to help Mr. Li regulate his Qi and blood and relieve his pain.

He gently flicked the end of the needle with his finger, causing it to vibrate and produce a sound inaudible to the average person. With the rhythm of the vibration, he also used his own Qi to guide the needle, which greatly relieved the pain that had contorted Master Li's face, even in his sleep.

"call--"

After finishing this procedure, Doctor Duanmu let out a breath, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said to Mr. Niu, "Brother Niu, with your skills, how could you not see Mr. Li's illness? In terms of acupuncture techniques, you are no worse than our Jishetang, so how come you couldn't treat him?"

"Hey~"

In fact, Mr. Niu's diagnosis was the same as Mr. Liu's, and his solution was similar to that of Dr. Duanmu, both involving acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine, with the only difference being the content of the prescription.

It can only alleviate the symptoms, but cannot cure them, just like the poison in Mr. Li's brain keeps growing back every now and then.

And as time went on, the intervals between Li Hongyang's visits became more and more frequent, and I really don't know why.

"Is that so?"

Upon hearing this, Master Liu and Physician Duanmu exchanged glances, their brows furrowed. The latter asked, "Does Master Li have any unusual items in his home?"

Doctor Duanmu did not understand "radioactive substances," but his ancestors had accumulated many cases of difficult and complicated diseases through generations of medical practice. Among them were descriptions of certain minerals and metals that could cause people to accumulate toxins.

He initially felt dizzy and lightheaded, then his body weakened, and finally he died.

"Never."

Mr. Niu was also familiar with such cases and shook his head, saying, "If Mr. Li had collected such a peculiar mineral, over time, the entire Li family would have fallen ill. Yet only Mr. Li developed a poisonous aura in his brain, which is truly baffling."

Huang Feihong also stepped forward to examine the patient and came to a similar conclusion as Master Liu and Doctor Duanmu, shaking his head and saying, "There is no cure unless we open the skull and remove the poison!"

# Chapter 995 Craniotomy (Part 2)

Cerebral surgery?

Brain surgery!

Master Liu, Mr. Niu, and Doctor Duanmu were all stunned.

Master Liu: "Master Huang, you must be joking, right?"

Dr. Duanmu: "Is there a chance of survival after craniotomy?"

Mr. Niu: "Master, don't open it! Don't open it!"

Physician Duanmu and Master Liu are traditionalists who emphasize the principles of the Five Elements and Yin-Yang, meaning that they treat illnesses by regulating the whole body.

In their minds, surgery was equivalent to cutting off the diseased part... wouldn't that disrupt the body's yin and yang balance?

Not to mention that Li Hongyang's problem lies in his brain!

Absolutely not!

But Huang Feihong was different from these two. He used martial arts to learn medicine, and his research on the human body was far superior to these two old stubborn men on a physical level!

Mr. Niu, as a disciple of Wong Fei-hung and a specialist in medicine, did not mind "operating" on patients, but this was Li Hongyang!

If someone were to accidentally die at his hands, the neighbors would be overjoyed, but he would ruin Po Chi Lam's reputation!

If it were any other part of the body, it would be easier to handle, but it involves the head—

The head is the head of the six yang meridians; how can it be easily disturbed?

Not to mention, the last doctor who tried to treat his brain disease through craniotomy had his head chopped off by Cao Cao!

"President Jiang, do you have any treatment options?"

Lin Shirong asked.

"Yes, Chairman Jiang, do you have any ideas?"

Master Liu and Doctor Duanmu suddenly realized that they had come to see Jiang Liu's medical skills, but they never expected that they would be so excited to see Li Hongyang suffering from a strange disease that they would cross the river and go to treat him themselves.

"As Master Huang said, craniotomy is necessary."

For a moment, everyone was dumbfounded.

Jiang Liu continued, "The only problem now is to convince Mr. Li to willingly undergo brain surgery."

"and many more!"

Seeing that Jiang Liu had already begun to think about how to persuade Li Hongyang, Mr. Niu exclaimed, "Chairman Jiang, are you really capable of performing brain surgery?"

"meeting."

To cure Li Hongyang, it wouldn't be necessary to open his skull. With Jiang Liu's current abilities, he could control the Primordial Chaos Qi, which can influence the level of all things. With a single thought, he could transform the tumor in Li Hongyang's brain into Primordial Chaos Qi, which is: omnipresent information.

Even without cultivating the Primordial Qi, one can still annihilate it using the power of the Mind's Light - Huiyuan.

In addition, the tumor in Mr. Li's brain can be automatically dissolved by regulating the body's energy.

There are many different methods!

However, the above "medical techniques" were too mysterious for most people present to understand, so Jiang Liu decided to perform a real craniotomy.

"Do you know what illness Master Li is suffering from?"

"Doctor Duanmu asked."

"According to our understanding, there are many terms for this condition, such as accumulation or masses, but in Western medicine, this condition is called cancer, and it usually presents as a tumor."
