The Baihui acupoint is known as the ancestor of all acupoints in the human body, a vital point among vital points. It is also the meeting point of the Ren and Du meridians, which run from the top of the head to the perineum and back, encircling the body. These two meridians are the two most fundamental meridians in the human body.
If the Ren and Du meridians are unobstructed, blood and qi flow smoothly, preventing illness.
The Du meridian is hidden within the spine, making it crucial for treating ankylosing spondylitis.
Lu Chen, as a martial arts practitioner with rudimentary skills, knew some of these points; they weren't taught by the Medical God's supernatural abilities.
Through the Medical God's supernatural abilities, the true qi within his body was rapidly transformed into healing energy, a wisp of which flowed from the Laogong acupoint in Lu Chen's palm and seeped into Dong Cuiliu's Baihui acupoint.
Instantly, Dong Cuiliu trembled slightly and involuntarily let out a groan.
A look of pain crossed her face, but a blush, a rosy blush of life, appeared on her pale complexion.
The impact of the energy was unavoidable for someone as fragile as Dong Cuiliu. For example, if someone dislocated their ankle and had to twist it back in, it would inevitably cause a sharp pain!
The important thing was the glimmer of life on her face, indicating that Lu Chen's divine medical energy had taken effect as soon as it entered.
At this moment, the surrounding experts also watched with some trepidation:
"Huh? What kind of diagnostic method is this? It's not the traditional Chinese medicine methods of observation, auscultation, and palpation; it looks more like those strange movements from martial arts movies?"
"This... seems to be a lost treatment method in traditional Chinese medicine! It's called... internal energy projection?"
"Internal energy projection? Haha! Isn't that just some weird stuff? Is it even effective?"
...
Everyone couldn't help but discuss it, then turned their gazes to Xu Jiaqi.
The beautiful vice-dean felt a slight unease, but her face remained impassive as she calmly said, "We'll see."
Huang Jianfeng sneered, "What 'internal energy projection'? I doubt he's even a proper doctor. Is he some kind of charlatan?"
As he spoke, wiping his nosebleed with a tissue, he looked at Xu Jiaqi, his tone surprisingly sincere: "Jiaqi, you haven't been fooled, have you? Be careful, there are so many swindlers these days! His ability to cure your foot might just be a lucky guess!"
Xu Jiaqi didn't speak, only giving him a cold glance. The chilling aura emanating from her beautiful eyes sent a shiver down Huang Jianfeng's spine, and he obediently shut his mouth.
But then, a scream suddenly rang out!
This scream sent chills down the spines of everyone around, including the beautiful vice-dean.
This scream came from Dong Cuiliu on the hospital bed.
After a scream, her previously motionless body trembled slightly, as if she had been electrocuted. Her emaciated face contorted, revealing a terrifying expression.
Her withered hands gripped the sheets tightly.
Xu Jiaqi cried out, "Achen, what's wrong?"
Lu Chen remained calm: "Nothing, it's a natural reaction."
Indeed, it was a natural reaction.
The energy he emitted entered her Baihui acupoint and then seeped down along the Du meridian. For Lu Chen, it felt like a small river flowing through an extremely barren desert, constantly being absorbed and disappearing. He continued to add energy, until it reached her Mingmen acupoint in her lower back, where it was blocked.
Dong Cuiliu's Mingmen acupoint was completely blocked. If it wasn't opened, her entire spine would remain stiff, and would continue to harden until it became brittle, ready to break at the slightest touch.
That was an extremely terrifying situation!
Lu Chen's heart stirred, and he intensified his energy release, attempting to open the Mingmen acupoint.
The energy released severely stimulated the Mingmen acupoint, causing Dong Cuiliu to scream in agony.
"What are you doing! You...you're going to kill someone!"
Huang Jianfeng shrieked, lunging forward and grabbing Lu Chen's arm, violently throwing him backward.
Lu Chen was startled and quickly withdrew his energy; otherwise, Huang Jianfeng's throw would have caused the energy to dissipate, potentially harming Dong Cuiliu.
He took two steps back, then heard Huang Jianfeng harshly scolding him: "Lu Chen, that's enough! You're just examining her, and you've made her scream like that! What are you doing? If something really happens to her, a hundred of you wouldn't be enough to compensate!"
Then he pointed to the door: "Get out!"
Lu Chen gave him a cold look, then turned to Dong Cuiliu.
Although the patient screamed in agony, experiencing intense pain, the pain was very brief. Moreover, her Mingmen acupoint had been slightly opened, allowing Qi and blood to circulate.
Her eyes were no longer as dull as before.
However, while Lu Chen sympathized with Ms. Dong, treating her would consume a significant amount of his own energy. If converted to monetary terms, this would likely amount to two or three million yuan, and that was just energy, not equipment. He didn't even know if his supernatural healing abilities would deteriorate with use, considering the depreciation costs.
Secondly, these experts didn't trust him.
Under these circumstances, what was the point of treating her?
At that moment, Pan Wei, along with several experts, rushed over, sweating profusely, to examine Dong Cuiliu. Finding her unharmed, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, Pan Wei's tone became stern, but this was directed at Xu Jiaqi; he clearly disdained speaking to Lu Chen. He said, "Dean Xu, I order you to get this guy named Lu Chen out immediately. What kind of treatment is he? He's utterly useless, a complete charlatan and a complete idiot. This patient is so important, and this kid... he made the patient scream so much! Get him out of here right now!"
Damn it, useless and a complete idiot?
Lu Chen was furious. It's normal for patients to experience some initial pain during treatment!
Is this what they call useless and a complete idiot?
He'd rather die than be humiliated! Lu Chen pointed at Pan Wei's nose and started yelling, "Peng Wei, right? The dean here, right? I ask you, do you doctors have to make several incisions before operating on a patient? Doesn't that hurt? Do you think anesthesia will stop the pain? It's normal for me to feel some pain after this treatment! Why are you being so aggressive?"
Peng Wei's face turned ashen. "I'm the director of Yunzhou City First People's Hospital, a bureau-level official, practically a deputy county head in a county. How dare you insult me like that? Pointing your finger at me like that?"
Before he could speak, someone came to his defense. Huang Jianfeng, with a large bump on his forehead, stepped forward menacingly and said sharply:
"Lu Chen, behave yourself! Do you think you can point your finger at our Director Pan? Huh? Let me tell you, first, I'm only asking you to examine her, not treat her; second, this patient is unusual, her spinal inflammation is in a very dangerous state. What if you treat her carelessly and make things worse?"
"You say our director is fierce? You're the fierce one! You have no manners! Get out now!"
Finally, he pointed forcefully at the door again.
Lu Chen really wanted to punch this guy in the face a few times, preferably right at the bump on his forehead. However, he restrained himself, after all, he had to consider Xu Jiaqi's feelings and not embarrass her. Besides, his own brother and his family are still here for treatment! Forget it, he doesn't want to treat that patient anyway.
Xu Jiaqi said helplessly, "Achen, let's go out then."
Lu Chen nodded, turned and walked towards the door, throwing out a harsh remark as he went: "You guys remember this, if you want me to come back to treat this patient, Dean Pan and Director Huang, you'll have to carry me from the fourth floor to the first floor and back!"
Huang Jianfeng laughed loudly: "Are you out of your mind? Do you think that's possible?"
Lu Chen was just threatening; although he could indeed treat Dong Cuiliu, it didn't mean Pan Wei and Huang Jianfeng would beg him for help.
Xu Jiaqi was about to follow Lu Chen out when Pan Wei stopped her.
"Dean Xu, please stay. We need to discuss this further!"
Xu Jiaqi wanted to object, but Lu Chen spoke softly, "Jiaqi, please stay. I'll go back myself." This made the beautiful vice-dean sigh for a moment, then she nodded and said, "Chen, alright, you can go down first. But I believe you can save this patient; it's just that they don't understand, there's nothing we can do!"
Lu Chen smiled slightly, "Jiaqi, your words are enough!"
He strode out, and as he approached the third floor, he saw a very burly and imposing young man rushing up, wearing camouflage pants and a military green short-sleeved T-shirt. The T-shirt made his incredibly strong body look like a angular rock. His strength was immediately apparent to Lu Chen!
Lu Chen gasped!
This young man's strength had definitely reached the seventh level of martial arts!
According to Lu Chen's understanding, martial arts are divided into nine levels, and someone like him is only at level two or three. Level seven is absolutely a top-tier master.
The young man's face also exuded an extremely imposing aura.
Although he wasn't much older than Lu Chen, only around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, his presence was like that of a general!
However, his eyes showed a hint of anxiety.
His right shoulder seemed injured, slightly drooping. He strode forward, patting and twisting his right arm, muttering, "Damn it, why can't I put it back in? What happened?"
Lu Chen watched, both surprised and amused. This big man was too amazing! His shoulder joint was indeed dislocated, and how painful that must be! He didn't show a trace of pain, even trying to set it himself while running!
Such spirit was truly comparable to the fierce Zhang Fei of ancient times!
As they passed each other, Lu Chen couldn't help but mutter, "You can't run and reattach it like that. Reattaching a joint is a very delicate job, especially a large one. If you keep doing that, you might break your arm!"
The burly man slapped the back of his head: "Oh, I see! I was wondering why I couldn't reattach it!"
