Chapter 334: Chapter 300: The Efficacy Surpassed Lu Jiu’s Expectations

Zheng Youli moved very slowly.

Lu Jiu was constantly observing as well.

He actually quite wanted to learn Ritual Healing Skill too.

But he also understood the saying “biting off more than you can chew”.

Just studying The Book of Changes has already consumed a lot of his mental energy. Adding Ritual Healing Skill to it, along with the need to see patients every day, he might end up getting sick himself.

After all, if his guess is correct, Ritual Healing Skill is a means of changing the telekinesis of others.

Thus, during the treatment process, it would certainly be influenced by the patient’s disease aura.

In pure Chinese medicine practice, although there is some influence from the disease aura, it is not too significant. As long as you are physically fit and can withstand it, there should be no problem.

But Ritual Healing Skill likely doesn’t work that way. Since you’re influencing the patient’s spirit, the disease aura will definitely transmit through this medium. If you don’t know how to expel the disease aura, treating many patients would probably lead to you falling seriously ill before long.

Zheng Youli has been using Ritual Healing Skill for so many years, he probably learned methods to expel disease aura himself.

However, Lu Jiu did not ask in detail.

After all, it’s someone else’s thing. If he’s not prepared to learn it, it’s clearly not appropriate to ask too much.

“Alright, do you feel your head getting lighter now?” After finishing the last move, Zheng Youli withdrew his hand and then asked Liu Qian.

Liu Qian couldn’t quite describe it. She only felt that Zheng Youli’s palm was very warm and when it touched the top of her head, it felt like a warm flow was pushing into her head.

Then the warmth on the top of her head became more apparent, and for a moment, she indeed felt empty, the kind where her eyes were open and she could see things in front of her, but her mind was completely blank, not wandering per se.

It was like being in a daze, but better than being dazed.

“I guess a little… I’m not really sure.” Liu Qian said.

Zheng Youli laughed, “It’s indeed hard to describe, maybe you need to persist with a few more treatments.”

Though feeling can be more accurate than any instrument, at times it’s more sluggish than any device too.

Because most people don’t understand the standards of health and unhealth.

Lu Jiu said, “For now, let me prescribe you a formula.”

Subsequently, Lu Jiu wrote down the formula to treat her condition on the slip.

Dai Zhe Shi, Sheng Wa Leng, Dao Dou Zi, Zelanum, Banlangen, Danggui, Gualou, Xuanfuhua, Xingren, Juhong, Xiangfu, Foshou, Red and White Peony, Mountain Cigu, Roasted Atractylodes.

A total of three doses.

After finishing, Lu Jiu handed the prescription to Liu Qian.

Three days later, when Liu Qian returned to the hospital, she said her symptoms had eased somewhat. For example, the bleeding had lessened, but there was still a strong burning sensation behind her sternum.

So, Lu Jiu revised the prescription, removing Mountain Cigu and Foshou, and adding Lotus Root Node, South Safflower, Raw Oyster Shell, and Corydalis.

Danggui, Red and White Peony, Zelanum, and Gualou also had their doses adjusted.

This time Lu Jiu prescribed seven doses.

At the same time, Zheng Youli performed Ritual Healing Skill on Liu Qian again.

Seven days later, when Liu Qian visited the hospital for the third time, she was especially happy.

Not only did the choking sensation whilst eating reduce, but there were also no problems eating meals, steamed buns, and noodles, and no vomiting occurred.

The pain behind the sternum had also noticeably lessened.

The relief from the illness indirectly affected Liu Qian’s mood.

Now, her facial expression was completely different from when she first visited the hospital.

Back then the corners of her mouth were consistently downturned, but now, even without speaking, she bore a smile.

The whole person looked markedly different in terms of life essence and spirit.

This time, as before, Lu Jiu revised the formula for her, and Zheng Youli treated her with Ritual Healing Skill.

Over the following month, Liu Qian actively cooperated with the treatment, and after two months, she nearly ran to Lu Jiu TCM Hospital in excitement, barely noticing there was a patient in front of him, “Dr. Lu, Dr. Lu, look, the tumor in my esophagus has shrunk, look!!”

Her action caught the attention of others.

Some of them were old patients of Lu Jiu, receiving treatment from him for years.

There were cases of liver cancer and lung cancer.

There were also new patients who had only heard of Lu Jiu’s high proficiency but never seen him in action.

Upon hearing this, Lu Jiu couldn’t help but smile, “Give me the scans, don’t get too worked up yet.”

Breathing heavily, Liu Qian handed the scans to Lu Jiu.

Studying them closely, sure enough, when the two scans were compared, the tumor had indeed shrunk.

This kind of change didn’t surprise Lu Jiu a bit.

Because after taking the first three doses of traditional Chinese medicine, Liu Qian’s symptoms had alleviated, which indicated that the prescription was right. The subsequent changes removed her chest pain, cleared bruises, eliminated dampness, and the esophagus no longer provided a suitable environment for it to thrive.

The quickness of it, though, was unexpected by Lu Jiu.

In just over two months, the tumor had actually shrunk.

According to his estimates, Liu Qian would have to continue medication for at least three more months for the tumor in the esophagus to gradually shrink, and the trend wouldn’t be so obvious.

Could he have estimated incorrectly?

That shouldn’t be!

The effects of the medication could only achieve this much.

Could it be that her improved mood contributed?

Hmm?

Ritual Healing Skill!?

Lu Jiu was quite experienced in treating cancer, and though his judgment wasn’t absolute, he had a fair sense of it.

According to Western medicine’s definition of esophageal cancer, the onset of swallowing difficulties basically equals mid to late-stage.

Patients in this condition wouldn’t typically survive more than five years, and even with treatment, might not live past that.

However, within the scope of traditional Chinese medicine’s “obstructed diaphragm” symptoms, as long as the bruises could be cleared, phlegm dampness resolved, and changes made to the patient’s physical environment, along with shifts in emotion and habit, it could actually be cured.

But definitely not this quickly!

The only thing that could affect Lu Jiu’s judgment must be the Ritual Healing Skill.

This made Lu Jiu reevaluate his understanding of Ritual Healing Skill.

If Ritual Healing Skill combined with traditional Chinese medicine could multiply the therapeutic effects, it could be a significant technique for his future cancer treatment!

But if it was just a coincidence, that’d be something else.

Therefore, this matter needed experimenting.

Lu Jiu wanted to see if using Ritual Healing Skill alone could affect cancer patients, and then, combining both, observe if the efficacy would improve.

Thus, Lu Jiu discussed this matter with Zheng Youli, who was more than willing to cooperate.

In the days ahead, they began comparing the efficacy on a large number of cancer patients.

Meanwhile, the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department of Jianghan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine officially announced its dissolution, with Tang Yi and Ji Yuanning being invited to the hospital by Lu Jiu.

They came along with the pillar of their department, the rehired seasoned physician, Mr. Yuan Sr.

As for Li Wei, he didn’t come, saying he couldn’t bear the disgrace and left Jianghan to develop elsewhere.

With three new additions, the team at Lu Jiu TCM Hospital grew ever stronger.

Liu Xing and others’ research into integrative treatment for diabetic foot was also nearing its end.

“Elder Mo, at three in the afternoon, there’s a video conference. Jinling’s results are already out…”
