At this moment, Ling Tian spoke.
"I am a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. I began studying medicine with my master at the age of three. Although I haven't attended medical school and lack a practicing license, I have seen a considerable number of patients. My medical skills are no less than those of doctors in major hospitals.
I have come today out of respect for Boss Jin. Boss Jin's filial piety towards the elder is very touching.
If you don't trust me, that's fine. I don't have to examine him!"
Ling Tian said very calmly, but his demeanor made everyone look at him with a newfound respect.
Liu Cheng sneered, "Heh, traditional Chinese medicine practitioners are just a bunch of swindlers.
Brother, didn't Dr. Chris from the Mayo Clinic warn us not to let Dad casually accept treatment from TCM practitioners!
The elder is old, and his liver function is already compromised. There are also cancerous cell metastases in his liver. If he is treated with Chinese medicine, it will increase the burden on his liver, which is life-threatening!"
Old Master Jin was displeased upon hearing this. After all, Ling Tian was someone he had invited, and Liu Cheng was calling him a swindler repeatedly, which was practically an insult.
"Liu, what are you talking about? Do you think I, Old Master Jin, would harm the elder?
I have personally experienced Doctor Ling Tian's medical skills, otherwise, I wouldn't have had the courage to recommend him to the elder!"
Liu Cheng sneered, "Brother Ba, I think you've been brainwashed. These TCM practitioners are best at pretending to be divine and playing tricks.
They concoct things like Yin, Yang, Five Elements, and Bagua, confusing patients with their jargon, and in the end, the patients obediently pay. Their methods are long outdated!"
Just then, Ling Tian suddenly took a step forward, approaching Liu Cheng. At this moment, a daunting aura emanated from Ling Tian.
Liu Cheng could barely withstand it. He immediately felt his heart race, his blood pressure rise, and even his eyelids twitched.
Having seen countless people and experienced much of the world, Liu Cheng, facing this young man before him, seemed to lack the courage to even make eye contact.
He recalled his first meeting with a certain influential figure whom even Li Jia had to look up to, and he had only felt that way then. That feeling was not as intense as what he felt facing Ling Tian now.
"As I said, Boss Jin invited me, and I came out of respect for him!
It's fine if you don't agree to me examining the patient, but there's no need to say such things. You are being too unreasonable!
Traditional Chinese medicine is a treasure of China, the crystallization of thousands of years of wisdom left by our ancestors. How can you deny it with just a few words!
You should apologize for what you just said!"
As Ling Tian spoke, his aura was exceptionally strong and righteous, leaving the Li family members unsure of how to respond.
At this moment, Li Qiuyang, the eldest son of the Li family, also realized that this young man before him was likely not simple.
"Liu Cheng, you should apologize to Mr. Ling. Your words were indeed impolite just now!
We cannot afford to lose the dignity of our Li family!"
Liu Cheng became furious upon hearing this.
"Brother, who are you siding with? This is a fraudulent quack doctor. His coming here to see the elder is to swindle money and harm him!
You want me to apologize to him? On what grounds!"
Ling Tian sneered, "You keep calling me a swindler. If I can prove my medical skills are not fraudulent, will you then apologize to me!"
"Oh, you have quite the nerve. How will you prove it!" Liu Cheng retorted provocatively.
"It's very simple. Traditional Chinese medicine has four diagnostic methods: observation, listening and smelling, inquiry, and palpation. I will use only one of these, the diagnostic art of observation. By merely observing the surface of your body, I will tell you your physical condition and point out your ailments. What do you say?
Of course, you can also claim I'm making it up. That's fine. You can find another person, and I will diagnose two people consecutively. There's no way to fake that, right?
If I diagnose them correctly, then it proves I'm not a quack, and you must apologize to me!"
"Fine, then go ahead. I want to see what tricks you, a swindler, have up your sleeve!" Liu Cheng decided to personally expose Ling Tian's lie.
"However, if I reveal some hidden ailments of yours and expose your personal privacy, you cannot blame me!" Ling Tian suddenly blurted out.
"Are you looking for an excuse to go back on your word and not compete? Your excuses are useless. If you can say it correctly, that's all that matters!" Liu Cheng mocked.
Frost gathered in Ling Tian's eyes. He turned to look at Old Master Jin and Li Qiuyang.
"You two, please help me bear witness, so that no one can renege on their word later."
Old Master Jin clapped his hands, "Don't worry, brother Ling Tian. With me here, who would dare to go back on their word!"
Ling Tian looked up at Liu Cheng and Li Qiuyue, the couple before him.
"Then let's begin now. Ladies first, shall we?" As he spoke, Ling Tian's gaze focused on Li Qiuyue.
Ling Tian's observational diagnosis was not entirely the same as other TCM or Western medicine practitioners.
In addition to judging the patient's condition based on the surface of their body, Ling Tian also secretly employed the art of Qi observation.
The Qi circulation of the human body is directly related to physical health.
If a person has a problem with a certain organ, the Qi in the corresponding area will weaken.
By observing these changes in Qi, one can also identify some diseased areas.
At this moment, Li Qiuyue felt as if she were being scanned by an X-ray machine.
Ling Tian's gaze seemed to possess a penetrating quality, making her feel as if she were completely exposed before him.
Fortunately, the process was quick. In less than two minutes, Ling Tian withdrew his gaze, looking confident.
"Madam, your lips are slightly dark, and your glabella is yellowish. This is a typical facial appearance of stagnant stomach Qi.
Based on this, I can determine that you suffer from duodenal bulb ulcers and superficial gastritis."
Li Qiuyue's heart skipped a beat. As the financial director of Huiying Real Estate Group, Li Qiuyue was a strong-willed woman who maintained a very high-intensity work schedule daily.
In the past, she always made do with meals, as long as they filled her stomach.
As a result, not long ago, she began to feel discomfort in her stomach. She secretly went to the hospital for an examination, and it turned out she had these two conditions!
But the problem was, only she, her husband Liu Cheng, and the attending physician knew about her condition!
This young man before her, who had only looked at her with his eyes, had accurately diagnosed these two diseases. This was simply unbelievable!
