Chapter 278: Chapter 267 Unexpected Discovery
Another nurse turned and left the operating room. Liang Tianze and the others hadn’t left yet. They were all standing there, perhaps worried about Dan Qing’s condition or maybe waiting to see Xiao Lin make a fool of himself, only he knew.
Seeing the nurse come out, Liang Tianze directly asked, "Why did you come out? How’s the situation inside?"
The nurse was quite clever and naturally couldn’t say she was going to get the leftover medicinal broth. She reacted quickly, replying, "I went to get some medical tools for Dr. Xiao!"
"Oh, hurry back then!" Liang Tianze looked suspiciously at the nurse but didn’t find anything unusual, so he didn’t stop her, allowing her to pass.
Seeing this situation, the nurse originally wanted to call Chen Feng to go with her, but at this moment she dared not. After thinking for a bit, she quickly went that way.
In his professional field, Xiao Lin’s confidence was even stronger than his martial skills, because in Dragon Soul, a place full of geniuses and eccentrics, the only thing he could rely on was his medical skills.
With the understanding of Dan Qing’s body during this period, Xiao Lin could say he knew better than anyone else, and it was impossible for his dietary prescription to cause uncontrollable conditions within Dan Qing’s body.
Seeing that Xiao Lin had already begun to perform acupuncture on Dan Qing, Zhang Wanyue didn’t say anything further and quietly watched Xiao Lin’s actions.
After inserting the first needle, Xiao Lin gently closed his eyes, the silver needle in his hand rotating at a very slow pace. This time, the acupuncture on Dan Qing’s Sea of Qi wasn’t for treatment, but rather for Xiao Lin to diagnose what was really wrong with her body.
This time, as he went in, Xiao Lin felt something surprising. Unlike the first acupuncture, it wasn’t so difficult. The Nine Dragons True Qi quickly reached Dan Qing’s body, and what was rare was that there was no blockage, completely unimpeded, and there was even a faint possibility of absorption. For someone like Dan Qing, this was simply a miracle.
Later, Xiao Lin discovered that in a corner of Dan Qing’s Sea of Qi, a faint vortex of qi was beginning to rise, which surprised him even more. Obviously, this was the True Qi gathered from the Profound Lady Heart Scripture, stored within the Sea of Qi. Although it was very weak, almost negligible, for Dan Qing, this was a miracle within a miracle.
For an ordinary person’s physique to gather such a weak amount of True Qi would take no less than six months to a year, which is one of the reasons why martial arts have declined to such an extent. Unexpectedly, Dan Qing, with such a physique, could cultivate a small vortex of qi.
Having cultivated such a vortex indicates that the vitality within Dan Qing’s body is gradually restoring, which, for Xiao Lin, was indeed a great thing.
Xiao Lin slowly infused the Nine Dragons True Qi into Dan Qing’s body, checking the condition inside. At this time, Dan Qing’s body was clearly much better than before. The internal vitality was faintly showing, no longer the stagnant pool it had been. However, Dan Qing’s kidneys and heart were significantly worse off than before.
More importantly, at this time, Dan Qing was not conscious and hadn’t woken up. If she awoke, the treatment would be much easier.
Thinking about the first seven levels of the Profound Lady Heart Scripture that he read with Xia Xue that day, Xiao Lin decided to use the Heart Method of the Profound Lady Heart Scripture to try and guide the weak qi vortex in Dan Qing’s body to travel through her meridians.
Initially, Xiao Lin’s was just a unique idea since he had never treated such a case before and was just planning to give it a try. Unexpectedly, the Nine Dragons True Qi didn’t seem to have any conflict with the True Qi of the Profound Lady, and instead followed the path Xiao Lin guided, slowly moving along. With the increase of Nine Dragons True Qi, what was initially a thin thread of qi gradually thickened and sped up.
"It’s a success!" Xiao Lin was incredibly excited inside, as if he had discovered a new continent. Unexpectedly, such a spontaneous idea could be so effective.
Watching closely, Zhang Wanyue fixated on Xiao Lin and the instruments beside the hospital bed; the EKG display showed increasingly strong signals, and she became more and more impressed with Xiao Lin. That small silver needle could have such a magical effect?
About ten minutes later, Dan Qing slowly opened her eyes and regained consciousness, feeling a small warm current circulating within her body. Just as she was about to speak, Xiao Lin directly said, "There’s no need to think about anything else now. Run the Profound Lady Heart Scripture, guiding the qi according to its meridian pathways!"
With Dan Qing awake, the True Qi circulated even faster, but soon sweat beads appeared on her forehead. Xiao Lin sensed that Dan Qing’s meridians were still quite fragile, so he slowly reduced the infusion of True Qi, only channeling it whenever Dan Qing’s True Qi could not keep up, enabling her to keep running it smoothly.
Regarding the kidney issues, currently, Xiao Lin had no solutions. He could only try to delay and allow Dan Qing’s body to recover to a state capable of undergoing surgery as quickly as possible. Otherwise, Xiao Lin dared not use any special medication on Dan Qing with her current condition. The only thing her body did not reject was the Nine Dragons True Qi.
Remembering that he had to go to Jingliang Province the next day, Xiao Lin’s treatment this time consumed several times more time and True Qi than usual, ensuring that Dan Qing’s cultivated small vortex of qi could drive the meridians’ operation once a day.
Zhang Wanyue was utterly surprised as she watched. Initially, Dan Qing had just a slight sweat on her forehead, but it quickly subsided. After about ten minutes, though Xiao Lin remained motionless, sweat beads started appearing on his forehead, while Dan Qing’s complexion was improving, turning from pale to somewhat rosy.
Indeed, Dan Qing was quite a talent, almost on par with Xia Xue. If not for her physical ailments, her progress would have been even faster. However, with Xiao Lin’s assistance, Dan Qing could ultimately rely on herself to integrate and operate the little Nine Dragons True Qi from Xiao Lin. This was precisely the result Xiao Lin was aiming for.
By this time, it had already been an hour. Originally, Xiao Lin intended to help Dan Qing run through the cycle once more, but the argument from outside the operating room startled him. Xiao Lin slowly withdrew his True Qi, then guided Dan Qing to settle the qi back into the Dantian, removed the silver needle, and told Dan Qing, "There’s nothing serious for the time being. From tomorrow on, you must cultivate morning, noon, and night, stopping only when you feel somewhat tired each time. In about half a month, you should be able to undergo surgery!"
"Thank you, Dr. Xiao!" Dan Qing opened her eyes, looking at Xiao Lin with deep gratitude, and expressed her thanks. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, feel free to visit Qidian () to vote for recommendations, monthly tickets, and your support is my greatest motivation.)
