Chapter 1163: Chapter 1152: Ning Qiankun’s Recovery
As Ning Fan walked over, everyone came forward to offer their congratulations.
“Our young master is truly the reincarnation of Hua Tuo, with his miraculous medical skills, he’s truly a divine being.”
“Isn’t that something? Haven’t you heard? Even that old doctor Liu from Zhonghai wants to call our Third Young Master ‘Master’.
“His medical skills are incomparable to our young master’s. Can you see how profound our young master’s cultivation in medical technique is?”
“Indeed, as long as the old master wakes up, it’s all good. He’s the pillar of our family. If he falls, we’ll crumble like loose sand. It will take a long time to regroup and adjust under the leadership of the Third Young Master.”
“Yes, if we face a crisis at this time, the future will be unimaginable.”
Even the elderly physicians echoed these sentiments.
“Mr. Ning’s medical skills are so brilliant at such a young age, it’s truly enviable. We’ve lived so many years for nothing. It’s the first time I’ve heard of someone using Guiguzi’s medical techniques to treat and save lives. A true heir of Huaxia’s classical heritage.”
As they echoed each other’s sentiments, Ning Fan noticed someone hiding behind a big tree, peeking out.
It was none other than Peng Peng, the middle-aged Western doctor who had talked big before.
He didn’t dare meet Ning Fan because he was afraid Ning Fan would make him keep his promise by crawling on the ground and barking like a dog.
As a top Western doctor in Dragon City, if he really had to kneel on the ground and bark like a dog, wouldn’t that be the ultimate disgrace?
Ning Fan observed this but didn’t expose him. Instead, he opened the sealed room and walked inside, looking at Ning Qiankun.
Only to see Lin Qiankun had already awakened, his old eyes misty. Seeing Ning Fan arrive, he weakly said, “Fan’er, am I in the living world or the Underworld?”
“Haha.” Ning Fan immediately comforted him with a smile, “Old man, are you joking? With me here, which little ghost would dare to catch you?”
“Indeed.”
Ning Qiankun seemed to have thought of something, giving a self-mocking smile, then laying down again with a face full of contentment, “Fan’er, you’re the Qilin child of our Ning family, both a master in medical arts and a genius in martial cultivation. Truly a blessing to our Ning family.”
Ning Fan waved his hand, advising, “You’ve just woken up and are weak, don’t waste your energy talking. I’ll prescribe another set of traditional medicine to replenish your vital energy, and once your health improves, I’ll help you expel the cold poison from your body.”
“I leave everything to you.”
Ning Qiankun was entirely convinced and obedient to Ning Ningfan’s arrangements.
Ning Fan prescribed another formula, instructing Butler Zhang to gather and prepare the medicine according to the prescription for Ning Qiankun to take.
Ning Qiankun’s body was finally no longer frail, and a rare blush appeared on his face.
Ning Fan relaxed and walked out of the room, calling out loudly, “Brother Peng, please come out and meet me.”
“Uh…”
Originally wanting to continue hiding, but now called out by name, Peng Peng had no choice but to shuffle out with a sheepish face, saying, “Brother Ning, your medical skill cultivation is really this…”
As he spoke, he raised a thumb in admiration, “It is only now that I realize that Western medicine, in the face of true traditional Chinese medicine, is not worth mentioning. My admiration for you flows like the endless river, relentless to the sea, like the Yellow River coming from the heavens…”
He then tried to distract Ning Fan with a lengthy speech.
Ning Fan was not fooled, waving his hand in impatience, “Brother Peng, I vaguely remember you making a vow? If I can wake the old master, you’d eat dog feces?”
Oh my god.
Peng Peng’s smile froze on his face, his expression turning bitter, like a flower wilting, swallowing his words.
He looked pleadingly at the elderly physicians for help and then apologized to Ning Fan, “Brother Ning, it’s my fault for not recognizing Mount Tai. I didn’t realize you were gold inlayed with jade. Please forgive me this once for my first offense. If there’s a next time, don’t just make me bark like a dog, even if you ask me to lick a donkey’s butt, I’d willingly do it without complaint.”
“Haha.” Ning Fan gave him a supercilious look, saying leisurely, “A man in his thirties, still so sharp and vigorous, it only indicates one thing, that you’ve faced too few setbacks and challenges. Remember, appearances can be deceiving. You can’t measure the sea with a pint pot. Whether someone’s a genius or a master isn’t about age or identity. Next time, speak with some sense.”
As he spoke, Ning Fan tapped his temple and pointed at Peng Peng, his tone like scolding his own grandson.
Peng Peng felt utterly humiliated, wishing for a crack in the wall to crawl into. Unable to face staying any longer, he clasped his hands in respect and said, “Third Young Master, I still have an operation to perform. Forgive me for not being able to stay longer. Farewell, farewell.”
“No need to see me out.”
Ning Fan waved his hand nonchalantly.
The elderly gentlemen watched Peng Peng leave and turned to Ning Fan, surrounding him and asking the critical question.
“Third Young Master, can you tell us your treatment plan? What was the purpose of your first step? What’s next?”
“It’s simple.”
Seeing their eagerness to learn, Ning Fan spoke openly, “The first herbal prescription may not seem to contain any precious ingredients, but it is crucial. The old master was comatose, his body’s internal balance completely disrupted by the Cold Ice Powder. At that time, any attempt to nourish his body or expel the Yin evil objects would have been in vain.
So, I took the simplest approach, using medicine to boost his immunity and restore his internal ecological balance. This is the key step in treating all diseases.”
“Well said, very logical.”
The elderly physicians nodded in agreement, appearing quite enlightened.
Ning Fan swallowed and continued, “Next, I will gradually nourish the old master’s body. Remember, it’s gradual nourishment, not an aggressive approach with ginseng or deer antler, which would only be counterproductive.”
“Yes, indeed…”
The elderly gentlemen nodded incessantly in agreement. “And then?”
“Next, only I can resolve it.”
Ning Fan pursed his lips confidently, “The final step is to expel the Yin evil objects from his body. Normal medicinal methods are useless against Cold Ice Powder. Even if Hua Tuo returned or the Medicine King reincarnated, they might only remove part of the cold poison, addressing symptoms but not the root cause.”
“What does Mr. Ning plan to do then?”
The elderly gentlemen looked puzzled and continued to inquire.
Ning Fan slapped his chest proudly, “As you should know, I am a True Origin Realm expert, capable of manipulating objects from a distance and attaching True Qi to items to make them function as intended.
So next, I will use my cultivation to expel the cold poison from the old master’s body. This time, it’s a powerful detoxification.”
