The two pieces of paper soaked in the potion were actually just a very ordinary liquid used to insulate against temperature, preventing the elderly from being overwhelmed by the heat coming from the bamboo tube.
It was also to avoid unnecessary contact between the flames caused by the high temperature and his own regenerative power, to prevent any conflict.
In reality, this was just a trick. Wei Yuan had already noticed that among the onlookers, there was an elderly scholar wearing thick glasses. This old man had been paying attention to everything from start to finish and seemed to be well-versed in medicine.
Of course, Wei Yuan primarily needed a means to conceal his regenerative power to avoid arousing distrust among the crowd. Therefore, he operated his regenerative power through the Mist-like Space in his mind, dispersing the Dark Cloud Substance of the Third Form into the bamboo tube.
At this moment, under his manipulation, the Mist-like Space instantly released the Dark Cloud Substance of the Third Form. After dispersing from the Mist-like Space, it began to come into contact with the air and slowly transformed into Transparent Substance.
At this time, this change was not visible to the naked eye. Wei Yuan held the transformed Transparent Substance in his hand while waving two connected bamboo tubes. He slowly infused the Transparent Substance into one of the tubes until he confirmed that it was completely integrated within it before continuing.
“Lift up the old lady's clothing slightly!” Wei Yuan suddenly instructed.
At this moment, Lan Xue, who had been standing nearby on guard, followed Wei Yuan's command. She gently lifted the old lady's top up to her navel and saw that the elderly woman's body was already in a weakened state.
What was once a healthy body had become rough and twisted after nearly ten years of illness; her abdomen was so thin that hardly any flesh could be seen around her waist.
“Turn over.”
When he spoke again, the elderly woman complied readily. With a gentle motion from Lan Xue, she had turned over.
Wei Yuan placed the bamboo tube on the old lady's back. There was an acupoint here that would allow the Transparent Substance generated by his regenerative power to enter her body and repair her damaged organs, treating her ailments.
After placing the bamboo tube on the old lady's back, Wei Yuan slapped it with his hand, dispersing the Transparent Substance inside. At this moment, under the influence of the Transparent Substance, it should have fully adhered to her internal body.
“How do you feel, old lady?” Wei Yuan asked with a smile.
At this moment, Lan Xue was quick to act, quickly taking out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off Wei Yuan's forehead while he took a brief rest.
The elderly man shifted slightly, rubbing his belly, feeling that the strange bloating sensation he had experienced before had weakened. When he started chemotherapy, his Digestive System had already been damaged, leading to a long-term lack of appetite.
He could only rely on soup to help with digestion when eating, but in the following years, in order to save money for his son's tuition, he didn't dare spend any money, resulting in inadequate nutrition. He had long been unable to eat properly, only experiencing a bizarre bloating sensation as if drinking water could fill him up.
This had severely damaged his Digestive System, causing his health to deteriorate further. By today, he was already in the twilight of his life.
“Hot!”
At this moment, the elderly man said just one word without much elaboration, which made Wei Yuan feel something was off.
At this point, the restorative power should have taken effect; the elderly man's first feeling should have been relatively peaceful because the Transparent Substance was integrating into his body, creating a cooling sensation. However, since the bamboo tube itself had been heated during burning, the two sensations would cancel each other out significantly.
Wei Yuan had personally experienced that refreshing feeling and knew it couldn't be completely masked by the temperature of the bamboo tube. Therefore, the elderly man should still feel a slight chill; however, his sensation seemed completely contrary!
Why was that?
Wei Yuan immediately realized the seriousness of the issue. He felt for the two bamboo tubes resting on his back and reached inside one of them. He sensed a hint of coolness inside, but the elderly man showed no signs of feeling it at all.
Was it that his sensory organs had deteriorated, or was the cooling effect of the Transparent Substance completely blocked by whatever was accumulating in his body?
Wei Yuan placed the bamboo tube against the elderly man's arm through a layer of clothing and asked, “How does it feel?”
“Cold... so cold!” The elderly man trembled in response.
In an instant, Wei Yuan identified where the problem lay. It wasn't that the elderly man's sensory organs had deteriorated; rather, what was on his back—the Transparent Substance meant to enter his body—was being obstructed by whatever was accumulated within him!
Her digestive system was deteriorating; the food she consumed was difficult to digest and kept accumulating in her body. What did this mean?
No wonder her body had become like this. The inability to digest was not merely a sign of anorexia and constipation; it was a direct manifestation of her long-term nutritional deficiencies.
Previously, it was due to lack of money that she couldn't keep up, but now she could afford food that she couldn't digest. The food was completely blocked within her body, even the transparent substance formed by the recovery power of the Third Form was isolated!
"What’s going on? You've been at this for so long, what are you doing?"
The man was somewhat impatient because Wei Yuan's treatment method resembled juggling, completely deviating from the common perception of how doctors treat patients. It was no wonder he couldn't stand it; after all, lying on the bed was his mother, and at that moment, it seemed as if Wei Yuan was just using her for amusement.
"Just wait a moment; I need to think!" Wei Yuan replied calmly.
"You still need to think? You didn’t have a plan before you started? You lunatic, are you joking with my mother's life?"
The man's shouts grew louder because Wei Yuan's attitude felt very frivolous to him, as if she didn't take the patient's life seriously.
Even if you weren't planning to charge money, you shouldn't act like this! Moreover, he had long suspected Wei Yuan's medical skills due to her age.
At this moment, Wei Yuan found herself in a difficult position. She initially thought that as long as the recovery power of the Third Form was integrated into the elderly woman's body, it would definitely work. But now it was being actively rejected and isolated by her body!
Seeing Wei Yuan hesitating again, the man impatiently said, "Forget it. If you can't do it, please stop!"
At this point, he was beginning to doubt whether he had lost his mind for believing that such a child could treat his mother's chronic illness. Now he just wanted to quickly send Wei Yuan away to prevent his mother from developing other issues due to her antics.
"Zhang Sheng, don’t be like this. If you want to continue believing in her, don’t interfere with her treatment methods."
At that moment, the elderly woman suddenly spoke up.
Although her expression was one of great pain, she still managed to force a smile and said to Wei Yuan, "You continue, dear. I believe in you."
This forced smile deeply moved Wei Yuan; the feeling of being trusted was truly wonderful. He trembled as he said, "Thank you."
The elderly woman continued to speak softly, her voice still sounding exceptionally hoarse. "I've lived for decades, and you are a good person. I've sought many doctors over the years, but only you didn't look down on me and even came to treat me voluntarily. I should be the one thanking you."
"You don't need to say that, ma'am. I can't even be sure if I can cure you, but I will do my best."
The elderly woman replied calmly, "You are a good person; just do your best. My son can take care of himself now; my mission is complete. As for life and death, I've long since come to terms with it!"
At this moment, the seemingly successful handsome man heard his mother's words and immediately broke down in tears. "Mom, please don't think like that. Don't you want to see me get married and have a grandchild for you?"
Tears also flowed from the corners of the elderly woman's eyes as she said, "Of course I do, but life and death are fated; everything cannot be changed by human effort."
Wei Yuan sighed, feeling quite heavy-hearted.
The elderly woman's illness shouldn't have been a major issue two years ago; it was just that some unscrupulous doctors had dragged it out, leading to today's increasingly severe problems.
The saying "A doctor has the heart of a parent" sounds nice, but what is reality like?
There is no distinction between high and low professions; every patient deserves treatment. Anyone who believes such words is foolish!
It is no longer news that doctors look down on patients. Even in reputable large hospitals, this remains true. To avoid affecting the hospital's reputation and the doctor's personal standing, some hospitals simply refuse to treat critically ill patients.
Some doctors even refuse to perform high-risk surgeries in order to maintain their success rates for promotions and bonuses because if a surgery fails, it would lower their success rate and affect their future prospects. Even receiving red envelopes later would become difficult.
From the doctors' perspective, they indeed have the right to do so: not treating this patient and instead focusing all efforts on treating other patients.
But as a patient, where is her right to choose?
Is it true that without money and power, she should die? Should she be kicked around like a ball?
Her condition worsens, yet no hospital is willing to take her in. Even now that her son has money, no doctor dares to treat her. How must they feel?
Wei Yuan can imagine how many times this mother and son have gone from hope to gradual disappointment, until they are completely desperate!
This is why the mother would say such things to her son. To the older generation, fate cannot be defied; perhaps it is destined that her time is nearly up. Birth, aging, illness, and death are all predetermined, beyond human control!
But Wei Yuan refuses to believe in such fate!
Who says the King of Hell demands you die at midnight? Who dares to keep someone alive until dawn? He does not believe that fate is unchangeable; he is determined to save this mother and extend her life, defying heaven!
For now, the Transparent Substance formed by the recovery power of Third Form cannot penetrate the elderly woman's body and cannot take effect. Wei Yuan can only start from traditional methods. Unfortunately, he has only been studying medicine for less than a month, so he can only rely on the detailed notes in the book "Medicine King Divine Canon" given by Yang Ying.
First, he needs to understand the elderly woman's condition through observation and inquiry. The recovery power does not require knowledge of her illness and can be applied directly, but the situation is somewhat different now.
Through verbal communication and physical observation, Wei Yuan gradually begins to confirm the source of her illness: first, she had a Tumor, and the side effects from chemotherapy left her body extremely weak. Coupled with digestive issues and long-term nutritional deficiencies, in addition to the degeneration of her Digestive System, it seems she also had symptoms of food poisoning in the past.
At first, it may not have been serious; she simply did not pay attention. Later on, toxins began to flood her system, leading to progressively worsening problems. Her Digestive System degeneration might also be caused by this.
After clarifying the source of the elderly woman's illness, Wei Yuan gradually gains confidence. Since the recovery power of Third Form is blocked within her body, he must clear away all these obstructions.
What method should he use? Wei Yuan begins to recall the contents of those annotated notes.
The failure of his Ability for restoration suddenly leaves Wei Yuan without his greatest weapon and forces him into a difficult position. He could easily follow that man's advice and give up.
Listening to that mother’s words makes him feel guilty for betraying the elderly woman's trust. Moreover, her situation ignites a fire within Wei Yuan. All the doctors are afraid to treat her? But he dares! Not only does he dare to treat her, but he can also heal her!
After making this determination, Wei Yuan began to select the treatment methods and was ready to take action.
He gently lifted a corner of the elderly woman's shirt, extended two fingers on her back, pressed down firmly, and continued this motion while speaking to the three male doctors at the Free Clinic: "Please bring me a box of silver needles."
At this moment, Lan Xue, who was standing beside him, fully played the role of an assistant, stepping forward to help Wei Yuan take the needle box. Then Wei Yuan instructed, "Seven-inch long needles; remember to disinfect them with alcohol."
Wei Yuan was currently performing acupressure on the elderly woman's back and had to leave everything to Lan Xue. Lan Xue agreed and then lit an alcohol ball. She naturally understood the precautions regarding acupuncture, so she immediately took out the seven-inch long needles and began the disinfection process.
With his left hand still massaging the elderly woman, Wei Yuan's right hand was free to take the silver needle from Lan Xue, waiting to be inserted. Once his left hand had warmed up the acupoint on her back, his right hand swiftly inserted the silver needle into the acupoint with precision.
To outsiders, this series of actions seemed quite ordinary, especially since Wei Yuan's movements were so quick that it was clear he had performed acupuncture countless times before without any issues.
Only Lan Xue, standing nearby, could clearly observe that this series of actions had already caused a bead of cold sweat to form on Wei Yuan's forehead.
After all, although he had studied the detailed annotations in "Medicine King Divine Canon" for some time, he had only personally practiced on Yang Ying once. That time during his Ninth Chapter internship ended in a blunder where a misplaced needle completely altered their relationship and led them to bed together.
Strictly speaking, Wei Yuan had no successful acupuncture experience when it came to treating real people. Therefore, he had to be extremely cautious while performing acupuncture on the elderly woman, fearing that even a slight mistake could lead to consequences he couldn't bear.
Fortunately, his recent hard work did not go to waste. Under Wei Yuan's acupuncture treatment, the elderly woman's complexion gradually turned red; however, her brows remained tightly furrowed and her mouth kept moving as if she were struggling with something.
Only Wei Yuan knew that this was a sign that his treatment method was taking effect. His goal was simple: since the toxins accumulated in the elderly woman's body were difficult to digest and had been building up over time, they not only produced toxins but also caused blockages that prevented his Third Form recovery power from being effective on her.
Thus, Wei Yuan's approach resembled unblocking a drain; he aimed to use external force to assist in expelling all the accumulated substances within her body. The biggest concern at this moment was that such an approach would undoubtedly be harmful to her health; he could only hope that she could endure it.
This was the only treatment method available for her condition at this point. Although it was somewhat risky, Wei Yuan still chose to attempt it.
After finishing with the needles, Wei Yuan leaned against the side and rested for a moment while continuing to massage the elderly woman's back with his left hand. He used external force to continuously stimulate changes within her body. At this moment, due to the cleansing effects of Spiritual Energy, Wei Yuan's strength was extraordinary; even such close stimulation was enough to provoke a reaction from the previously stimulated acupoints.
"Vomiting!"
The old lady continued to make dry heaving sounds, covering her mouth with a pained expression, yet there was still no sign of vomit.
Wei Yuan couldn't help but gradually increase the pressure in her palm, but she was still careful, fearing that the elderly woman couldn't handle it. Slowly, the old lady's face changed from red to green, and she could no longer cover her mouth, only bowing her head as her neck twitched gently.
"That's enough."
Wei Yuan felt she had a sense of timing and slowly eased the pressure of her hand, preparing to withdraw from the old lady's back. At that moment, the old lady truly couldn't hold it any longer; she was overwhelmed by the rising urge to vomit.
"Ugh... Ugh!"
The sound came without pause. Wei Yuan turned around to see the old lady bent over, her throat convulsing repeatedly, almost collapsing to the ground as she began to vomit profusely.
The expelled substance was a thick, black, viscous mass that emitted a terrible stench.
Those nearby caught a whiff of the odor and immediately covered their noses and turned away, clearly distressed.
At this moment, however, Wei Yuan showed a hint of a smile. The old lady's son, the man named Zhang Sheng, noticed Wei Yuan's expression and no longer displayed his earlier disrespect. He softly asked, "Is my mom okay?"
