Many physicians were indignant. They had all been invited and were quite renowned in Chuzhou. Being reprimanded by Lu Fan like this, how could they feel alright?
"Young man, we are all considered seniors," an old Chinese medicine practitioner said displeasedly. "You speak such words, do you truly not put us in your eyes?"
"Is putting you in my eyes more important, or is saving lives more important?" Lu Fan retorted coldly. "All of you, leave this room. I am about to begin acupuncture!"
The complexions of many physicians flushed red. Even Zhao Lao had not displayed such an attitude. Lu Fan, however, was putting on airs, which greatly displeased them.
"Distinguished seniors of the medical arts, you are all guests invited by my Hu family," Hu Donghai quickly stepped forward. "Perhaps you would care to rest in the living room for a while? I assure you, you will not be mistreated!"
The crowd was displeased but found it difficult to refuse, so they could only head towards the living room.
Inside the room, Hu Donghai and Hu Dongfeng waited, not daring to leave even half a step. They knew very well that the old lady was on the verge of death, and if Lu Fan's medical skills were not precise, she would pass away today.
Looking at the elderly woman before him, Lu Fan took out silver needles and inserted them into the old lady's body a few times. He also remarked with dissatisfaction, "The old lady is advanced in age, and her uric acid levels are extremely high. Have you been paying attention to your daily diet?"
"Divine Doctor Lu, the old lady has no other hobbies; she just enjoys eating braised pork," Hu Dongfeng stated. "Could it be that dietary issues are causing the old lady to be like this?"
"How can an elder eat so much greasy food?" Lu Fan glanced at them. "With such high uric acid levels now, it directly caused her to faint. If it weren't for her strong constitution, you would only be collecting a corpse!"
Hu Donghai was terrified but didn't know what to do.
Lu Fan waved his hand. "You don't need to worry. Since I am here, I will not let the old lady have any issues!"
Hu Donghai nodded repeatedly, a hint of anticipation in his heart. He had been worried earlier that Lu Fan knew nothing, but now it seemed Lu Fan's medical skills were decent. He just wasn't sure if he could really pull the old lady back from the brink of death.
After a considerable wait, Lu Fan withdrew the silver needles. The old lady gradually woke up, and beside her bed, there was a pool of black blood, seemingly released by Lu Fan.
Seeing that the old lady's breathing was steady, Hu Donghai looked overjoyed. He had initially thought the old lady wouldn't make it, but he never expected Lu Fan's medical skills to be so profound, leaving him deeply impressed.
"Divine Doctor Lu, thank you for your hard work!" Hu Dongfeng quickly flattered. "If it weren't for Divine Doctor Lu, the old lady would have been in danger."
At this moment, in the main hall, the numerous physicians heard that the old lady had woken up and all began to head towards the room, their hearts filled with astonishment.
When they had examined the old lady, they had found that her lifespan had reached its end, and there was nothing they could do. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been helpless. Now that the old lady's condition was stable, it was hard for them to believe.
"How is this possible?" Elder Zhao exclaimed in surprise. "How was this achieved?"
"With powerful medical skills, how could it not be achieved?" Lu Fan smiled faintly. "If one's medical skills are not precise, even if you are old, it would likely be of no use!" Ssdnxs.com
At these words, everyone present turned pale. Lu Fan's words were clearly directed at them, and they knew it. Yet, their medical skills were indeed not precise, otherwise, they wouldn't be receiving Lu Fan's disdainful gaze.
"Boss Hu, the old lady has recovered completely. I will take my leave now," Elder Zhao clasped his fists and prepared to depart immediately.
He was a renowned Chinese medicine practitioner in Chuzhou, known as a divine doctor. Now, being upstaged by a young man, he felt restless and could only make a hasty exit.
"Elder Zhao, why the haste?" Hu Dongfeng chuckled. "Divine Doctor Lu's skills are extraordinary, managing to pull the old lady back from death's door. Shouldn't you all discuss it?"
"There's nothing to discuss!" Lu Fan waved his hand. "I need to go back to sleep! It's already so late!"
With that, Lu Fan headed towards the exit. Han Donghai quickly stepped forward. "Divine Doctor Lu has cured the old lady and is of great service to my Hu family. How can you leave just like that!"
"It's merely a small effort!" Lu Fan waved his hand. "In the future, have the old lady control her diet, and there will be no more problems."
After saying this, Lu Fan left without looking back. Such matters were routine for him, and Lu Fan didn't pay them any mind.
Elder Zhao and the others stood there, feeling even more ashamed. Lu Fan, at such a young age, not only cured the old lady but also did so with such nonchalance.
The Hu family wished to express their gratitude, but Lu Fan was completely unfazed.
"Divine Doctor Lu is truly noble," Hu Donghai exclaimed, marveling. "At such a young age, to possess such a state of mind."
"Tomorrow, I will personally bring gifts to pay a visit!" Hu Dongfeng stated. "Divine Doctor Lu's intervention is already a great kindness to my Hu family!"
"Why have I never heard of this person within the Chuzhou region?" one of the old Chinese medicine practitioners asked in surprise. "Could it be that he is not an ordinary person?"
"Divine Doctor Lu acts with discretion, departing immediately after healing the patient," Hu Dongfeng explained. "I personally witnessed it last time as well. It's normal that you don't recognize him!"
The old Chinese medicine practitioners present felt deeply ashamed. If they had healed a patient, they would likely publicize it widely. But Lu Fan was different, unlike them, embodying the true spirit of a physician.
Meanwhile, in an apartment in Chuzhou, Lin Xiuhua opened the gift box and gazed at the jade inside, her surprise and joy evident. "The Hu family of Chuzhou is indeed generous. They sent such a precious item just as a meeting gift!"
"This jade is probably worth a fortune!" Yang Shiwen frowned. "We can't accept this. Let Xiao Fan return it tomorrow!"
"Return it? For such fine jade?" Lin Xiuhua glared. "Why refuse something so good? Besides, Lu Fan went to practice medicine; this is a meeting gift from them. Sending it back would be like slapping the Hu family in the face!"
"It's not even certain if the patient can be cured!" Yang Zixin said impatiently. "Mom, you need to be careful. Don't drop the jade."
"Whether it's cured or not, since Xiao Fan went, this jade belongs to us."
Lin Xiuhua held it tightly, afraid it would be snatched away.
Lu Fan also returned home at this time, appearing somewhat fatigued.
"How did it go?" Yang Shiwen asked. "Is the Hu family's old lady in any serious condition?"
"Second Uncle, rest assured, I personally attended to her, so naturally, there are no problems," Lu Fan said with a light smile. "The old lady's condition has stabilized."
"Since it has stabilized, you must have earned quite a bit," Lin Xiuhua said expectantly. "How much did the Hu family pay you?"
"This..." Lu Fan appeared somewhat embarrassed. "They were about to pay, but I didn't accept it."
"Are you crazy?" Lin Xiuhua glared. "That's the Hu family! They wouldn't give a small amount of money. How could you refuse it!"
"It's merely a small effort!" Lu Fan gave a helpless wry smile.
Lin Xiuhua was extremely annoyed. Yang Shiwen, however, waved his hand. "They've already sent such a valuable gift; it's not really appropriate to accept money from them as well."
