“Does Traditional Chinese Medicine not even require pulse-taking to know what illness I want to see you for?” Jiang Yuanming, despite wanting to give Qiao Guohua face, couldn’t help but inject a hint of sarcasm into his voice. This was simply preposterous. How could Traditional Chinese Medicine diagnose an illness without pulse-taking? Even the top imperial physicians in the capital couldn’t achieve this.
Could someone so young surpass imperial physicians?
Even Qiu Qing, standing beside him, showed disappointment in her eyes. She had thought the divine doctor recommended by Qiao Guohua wouldn’t be subpar, but it seemed she had held too high expectations.
“Of course!” Li Se said confidently, “Traditional Chinese Medicine emphasizes ‘wang, wen, wen, qie’ (observation, listening and smelling, inquiry, and pulse-taking). The ‘wang’ refers to observing qi. Everyone has a type of qi, also known as complexion. By simply observing your qi, I know what President Jiang and his wife are seeking.”
Jiang Yuanming remained unconvinced and sneered, “Then tell me.”
Li Se smiled slightly, “If I’m not mistaken, President Jiang, you are seeking to have a child, aren’t you?”
“How did you know?” Jiang Yuanming’s expression changed. As Li Se said, he had brought his wife for treatment precisely to seek a child.
“I saw the root of President Jiang’s problem through my qi observation technique.” Li Se paused here and then continued, “From your complexions, your bodies are fine. Including sperm, there are no issues. Since there are no problems, yet you are having difficulty conceiving, you must have seen Western doctors, right?”
This time, Jiang Yuanming believed Li Se. He sighed, “We went to the hospital for check-ups, but my wife and I had no problems. This baffled us. We also consulted Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners and took some herbal medicine, but there was no effect.”
Qiu Qing looked at Li Se, tears welling up, “We are both over thirty. If we don’t have children soon, I don’t know what we will do. Divine Doctor Li, do you have any solutions?”
Li Se pondered for a moment, then asked, “President Jiang, when did you move into your current residence?”
Jiang Yuanming was surprised by Li Se’s question. He recalled and said, “About ten years ago.”
“Was it when you got married?” Li Se asked again.
“Yes!” Jiang Yuanming nodded. “Divine Doctor Li, what does this have to do with the house?”
“It does!” Li Se began to explain to Jiang Yuanming, “Although I haven’t seen your house, I can infer the feng shui layout from the qi on both of you.”
“Divine Doctor Li, are you saying it’s a problem with the feng shui layout?” Jiang Yuanming was a bit surprised, feeling it was a bit far-fetched.
Li Se nodded, “In fact, Traditional Chinese Medicine and feng shui metaphysics have many inseparable connections. They originate from the I Ching, and their principles are the same. A feng shui master must also study TCM theory to provide strong guarantees for the homeowner’s life, especially physical health, in the adjustment of feng shui energy fields.”
He paused and continued, “If I’m not mistaken, President Jiang’s house should have a feng shui layout where water is to the north and the house is airy from north to south.”
Jiang Yuanming nodded abruptly, “It is this layout. At the time, the feng shui master said this layout was beneficial for wealth, but I don’t pay much attention to feng shui layouts. As you know, many people now consider it superstition.”
Li Se agreed, stating that it was indeed the case.
“What’s wrong with this layout?” Qiao Guohua couldn’t help but ask.
Li Se explained, “Generally speaking, residences with water to the north or those that are too airy from north to south will affect fertility. This is because the north is the Kan trigram in the Eight Trigrams, with the element of water, representing the reproductive system. Its inherent coldness, amplified by water, becomes even colder, making it extremely difficult to conceive. Residences that are too airy from north to south have highly unstable indoor energy and magnetic fields, which can lead to instability in women’s hormones, weak constitutions, and infertile soil for nurturing a child, making infertility a common occurrence.”
“Divine Doctor Li, my wife’s constitution is indeed weak.” Jiang Yuanming felt Li Se was miraculous. He hadn’t even seen their house but could accurately infer their home’s feng shui layout. This was truly a master!
Qiu Qing quickly asked, “Is it still possible for us to move out now?”
“It’s too late,” Li Se shook his head. “This feng shui layout has already affected your bodies. A certain qi has long formed within you, and even if you move out of this house, this qi will not dissipate.”
“Divine Doctor Li, as long as you can cure us, no matter how much it costs, I will agree!” Jiang Yuanming said quickly.
Li Se smiled, “Money is not necessary. If you conceive, you can cooperate with a company owned by a friend of mine. The company is called Yunmeng Cosmetics.”
“Okay!” Jiang Yuanming agreed without hesitation.
“It’s not difficult to break this feng shui layout,” Li Se said, looking at the couple. “Do you have any jewelry or pendants with you?”
“Yes!” Qiu Qing took off a necklace from her neck and handed it to Li Se.
Jiang Yuanming offered his wedding ring.
Li Se cast a spell on the ring and necklace, then told them to put them back on, “Remember, never take off the ring and necklace, no matter what.”
“Is this all it takes?” Jiang Yuanming asked somewhat incredulously.
“Of course not,” Li Se shook his head and smiled, then wrote a prescription and handed it to them. “One dose a week, and after one month, you will be fully recovered. Within about two months, you will have a child.”
“Thank you, Divine Doctor Li!” Jiang Yuanming was now completely convinced of Li Se.
Qiu Qing immediately said, “If we have a child, I’ll have him recognize you as his godfather.”
“That’s not necessary,” Li Se waved his hand.
Jiang Yuanming and Qiu Qing did not linger. They were eager to get the medicine, as this was a matter of great importance to their lives and could not be taken lightly.
Although Li Se hadn’t explicitly told them to move out, he knew that a wealthy man like Jiang Yuanming would likely move immediately upon returning home; it was a given.
“Divine Doctor Li, I didn’t expect you to also have some research in the field of feng shui,” Old Qiao said, slightly surprised.
Li Se said humbly, “Old Qiao, as I just mentioned, Traditional Chinese Medicine and feng shui are closely related. I only know a little about it.”
“Why don’t you take a look at the feng shui of our estate?” Old Qiao asked with a smile.
Li Se immediately understood Old Qiao’s intention and said, “Old Qiao, you want to test me, don’t you? The feng shui of this estate is excellent. It must have been arranged by a feng shui master.”
“Indeed!” Qiao Guohua, standing nearby, nodded. “Divine Doctor Li, my grandfather really values feng shui. So, when buying this estate, he invited Master Guo Bao, a renowned feng shui master in Jiangnan, to assess it.”
Li Se was well aware of Master Guo Bao. He had heard of this feng shui master and expressed his admiration, “That’s not surprising. Only Master Guo Bao’s ability could arrange such a feng shui layout!”
