Li Se was naturally not the type to snatch things forcefully. Upon seeing the man's complexion, he immediately understood why the man was using the Four Symbols Gu Zhi. Without hesitation, he walked towards the man.
"Something wrong?" the portly man asked, confused.
"I am a Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner, currently seeing patients at the Jishe TCM Clinic. Li Se," Li Se introduced himself.
"You... you are the divine physician Li?" the portly man asked in surprise. After Li Se's previous competition with the eight major schools of TCM, Li Se's reputation had grown immensely.
"That's right, it's me," Li Se said, pointing to the medicinal herbs in the portly man's hand. "If I'm not mistaken, you intend to use this herb to treat your body, correct?"
"This..." Wu Chao suddenly felt a bit awkward. If Li Se was a TCM practitioner and his medical skills were decent, he would definitely know what condition this herb was used to treat.
Li Se smiled and said, "I can treat it, but as a condition for treatment, can you give me this herb?"
"You can really treat my condition?" Wu Chao asked, astonished.
"Of course!" Li Se nodded confidently. "Moreover, this herb will at most temporarily restore a man's vigor. The duration will not be long."
Wu Chao's expression became somewhat agitated. "If you can truly treat it, then I can give you this herb. Actually, I only heard from others that this herb can treat that particular issue. I don't really understand how to use it myself. Coincidentally, I was also planning to find a TCM practitioner to consult."
Saying this, he immediately took out a business card and handed it to Li Se. "Can you come and treat me tomorrow?"
"Okay!" Li Se took the business card. As for why tomorrow, he guessed that Wu Chao might be consulting other doctors, but he didn't mind.
Wu Chao left soon after. Fang Xiuxiu, who was beside Li Se, asked curiously, "Li Se, what illness does he have? He doesn't seem to have any problems."
"He's impotent," Li Se said in a low voice.
Fang Xiuxiu immediately understood what he meant, and her face flushed red.
Time flew by, and it was the next day. Li Se went to Wu Chao's home according to the address on the business card. Wu Chao's home was quite luxurious, a villa. He had already called Wu Chao before arriving, so a maid was waiting at the entrance of the villa.
"You must be the divine physician Li, right?" the maid asked politely.
"Yes!"
"Please, the boss is waiting for you inside." The maid led Li Se into the villa.
Upon entering the living room, Li Se saw Wu Chao. Beside him was a noblewoman, Wu Chao's wife Ruan Cuiyun. However, it wasn't just the two of them; there was also a middle-aged man wearing glasses, examining Wu Chao's body.
Just as Li Se had thought, Wu Chao hadn't allowed him to treat him directly yesterday because he wanted to let other doctors treat him first.
"Mr. Wu, after taking the medicine I prescribed, you will definitely see some improvement," the doctor said confidently.
"Thank you, Doctor Zhu!" Wu Chao said gratefully.
"Honey, do you feel anything?" Ruan Cuiyun asked eagerly.
Ever since her husband became impotent, she had been suffering immensely. She was pinning all her hopes on Doctor Zhu Long's special medicine.
Wu Chao tried his best to feel something but still shook his head. "I don't feel anything."
"Doctor Zhu, won't your medicine be useless? You yourself said that it would work immediately after taking it," Ruan Cuiyun said with some dissatisfaction.
"This..." Zhu Long also looked dejected. How could it not work?
"Of course, it's useless!"
Li Se's voice was heard.
"Who are you?" Ruan Cuiyun asked.
"Cuiyun, this is the divine physician Li, the one I invited," Wu Chao said. At this moment, he could only place his hope on Li Se. "Divine physician Li, if you can cure me, then the herbs will be yours."
"Mr. Wu, why did you invite another doctor?" Zhu Long asked, displeased.
"If your medicine had worked, I wouldn't have to find another doctor," Wu Chao said indifferently.
Zhu Long was somewhat displeased, but his special medicine indeed had no effect on Wu Chao. He then looked at Li Se and said, "You are so young, yet you call yourself a divine physician. Aren't you afraid of being embarrassed?"
"Being old doesn't necessarily mean having good medical skills," Li Se retorted sarcastically.
"You..." Zhu Long was furious. How dare this brat talk back?
"Dr. Li, did you graduate from a renowned foreign medical institution? Or are you already a medical doctor? Or have you joined the American Medical Association?" Ruan Cuiyun also felt Li Se was too young and asked three consecutive questions.
"I am a TCM practitioner," Li Se replied calmly.
"Pfft..." Zhu Long couldn't help but laugh. "Setting aside whether TCM can cure illnesses, even if it can, at your age, can you become a TCM practitioner? Are you joking with me?"
Ruan Cuiyun frowned, thinking how her husband had found such an unreliable person. Even if he was desperate, he shouldn't resort to any doctor he could find. Although Li Se was very famous now, she didn't pay attention to such things. She estimated he was just an internet celebrity who had been hyped up.
"Why can't I?" Li Se looked at Zhu Long, whom he really didn't have a good impression of.
Zhu Long sneered, his expression revealing arrogance. "What a bold claim. I graduated from the Xiedongnuofu Medical School. Even I don't dare to call myself a divine physician. On what basis can you call yourself a divine physician? Purely through empty talk?"
"Honey, I think we should be cautious," Ruan Cuiyun said, not optimistic about Li Se. Even a doctor like Zhu Long couldn't help, let alone Li Se.
Moreover, she was worried that if Li Se treated him, it might worsen the condition.
Wu Chao hesitated for a moment before saying, "I am willing to let divine physician Li try."
He was also out of options. The main reason was that even Zhu Long's special medicine was ineffective. He couldn't possibly not be able to display his manly vigor for his entire life.
"Mr. Wu, you must think carefully," Zhu Long reminded him.
Wu Chao waved his hand, signaling Li Se. "Divine physician Li, I'll leave it to you."
Li Se nodded slightly, took out silver needles, and was about to perform acupuncture on Wu Chao.
"You're going to perform acupuncture?" Zhu Long frowned. "My heavens, are these needles meant to kill people?"
"What does it have to do with you?" Li Se said coldly. He hated it when people babbled beside him while he was treating patients.
"You're going to perform acupuncture without even doing an examination? Are you a doctor?" Zhu Long said sternly. No matter how skilled a doctor was, they would certainly conduct an examination. If the cause of illness wasn't found, how could it be treated?
Ruan Cuiyun also felt Li Se was being too hasty. This guy might not know anything at all.
"I already know the cause of the illness," Li Se said.
Zhu Long directly reprimanded, "You know the cause of the illness without examining? I think you're a swindler. Although I don't understand TCM well, TCM practitioners also need to take pulses. Can't you even take a pulse? Or are you just relying on these few needles to cure people? That's utterly ridiculous. I think you're not a doctor at all!"
