Chapter 326 Why Should Traditional Chinese Medicine Not Become Popular

“Po Hu Zhen Fa?”

Wang Chunsheng was startled upon hearing this, and asked Li Dafu in disbelief, "Old Li, you must have misjudged. This kid, at such a young age, knows how to use the Po Hu Zhen Fa?"

Li Dafu glared at Wang Chunsheng, "Old Wang, you can question his medical skills, but you shouldn't question my judgment."

"Cough, cough..."

Wang Chunsheng thought to himself, aren't they the same thing?

Just then, Chu Luo said indifferently, "Po Hu Zhen Fa is just an introductory acupuncture technique in traditional Chinese medicine. What's there to be so surprised about?"

"Cough, cough, cough..."

This time, Wang Chunsheng coughed even more violently.

Hou Aiguo added, "Good kid, you're not old, but you have a big mouth!"

Wu Feier asked with confusion, "What exactly is this Po Hu Zhen Fa? Is it very powerful?"

Wu Feier was an amateur in traditional Chinese medicine. She was transferred to the Chinese medicine department solely to help Chen Xiao, and also because it allowed her to see Chen Xiao every day.

Li Dafu said calmly, "Chu Luo is right. Po Hu Zhen Fa can indeed be considered an introductory technique in TCM acupuncture. However, even so, anyone who masters and skillfully applies this technique before the age of forty can be called a genius."

After saying this, Li Dafu paused for a moment before adding, "I only grasped the true essence of Po Hu Zhen Fa at the age of forty-five. As for Old Wang and Old Hou, they still haven't learned it!"

Hou Aiguo and Wang Chunsheng's faces immediately turned red, "If you want to praise yourself, that's fine, but why drag us into it? It's not good to boost yourself by belittling others!"

Wu Feier said with surprise, "Chu Luo is only nineteen this year. If he learned Po Hu Zhen Fa at such a young age, doesn't that mean he's a genius among geniuses?"

"Not at all, not at all!"

Hou Aiguo shook his head, "Feier, we can't jump to conclusions yet. After all, Chu Luo has only used the acupuncture technique so far. To draw a conclusion, we still need to see if his treatment is effective... Of course, it's already very commendable that he dared to perform acupuncture at such a young age!"

Hou Aiguo didn't really believe that Chu Luo had mastered the Po Hu Zhen Fa. He thought it was just a show-off for now.

Jia Bing, on the other hand, was ostensibly taking the pulse of the elderly lady in front of him, but in reality, he was eavesdropping on their conversation.

Upon hearing about the 'Po Hu Zhen Fa,' he immediately became nervous, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead, desperately cursing in his heart that the technique must not be effective!

The elderly lady said impatiently, "Hey, why are you taking my pulse for so long? Are you trying to touch my hand?"

Jia Bing snapped back to reality, and said awkwardly, "Madam, please wait a moment, I'll be done soon!"

"Forget it, forget it, I'm not waiting. I wasn't sick in the first place, and I'd rather go watch the excitement over there!"

With that, the elderly lady stood up and went to the side to watch Chu Luo perform acupuncture on the elderly gentleman.

Jia Bing called out helplessly, "Next!"

No one came forward. Everyone's gaze was focused on Chu Luo.

Jia Bing gnashed his teeth in anger, but he was helpless. He could only curse again that Chu Luo's acupuncture would be ineffective, and it would be even more satisfying if he caused some trouble for the elderly gentleman, leading to him being beaten up!

However, the facts soon disappointed Jia Bing.

Chu Luo removed the silver needles and said to the elderly gentleman, "Alright, grandpa, quickly put on your clothes. Don't catch a cold!"

The elderly gentleman put on his clothes, stretched his waist, and then his face showed a look of shock.

"Grandpa, how do you feel now? Are you comfortable?" Chu Luo asked with a smile.

"Comfortable, comfortable! Grandpa hasn't felt this comfortable for a long time. Young man, your medical skills are amazing, much better than that person who spouted a lot of nonsense earlier!" The elderly gentleman felt comfortable and smiled.

Moreover, he didn't care that Jia Bing was right there and started to mock him.

Jia Bing's face turned red and then white. He felt like a thorn in his side, wishing he could disappear into a crack in the ground.

However, he was overthinking it, because at this moment, no one was paying attention to him. Everyone's focus was on Chu Luo. It was well-known that the elderly gentleman he had just treated had a bad temper and was extremely picky. Even such a person praised Chu Luo so highly, which meant this young man truly had skill!

As for the deputy directors nearby, they were even more astonished. Laymen watched the excitement, while insiders understood the skill. They knew very well how capable Chu Luo was. And this kid was so young, his future was boundless!

Lately, they wondered what was going on, why there were so many prodigy doctors? First Director Chen, and now Chu Luo. In this case... why wouldn't traditional Chinese medicine become popular!

Chen Xiao also nodded secretly, but his focus was different from others. He already knew that Chu Luo's foundation in traditional Chinese medicine was very deep. Today, he mainly wanted to observe Chu Luo's attitude while practicing medicine. And after this observation, Chen Xiao was completely relieved. Because Chu Luo was too ostentatious usually, always putting on a smug face, defiant of everything. If he brought such an attitude into his work, even with excellent medical skills, Chen Xiao would not employ him. However, Chu Luo's performance today far exceeded Chen Xiao's expectations. He maintained a smile throughout the treatment, spoke slowly and gently, and was very polite. It was like he was a completely different person from his usual demeanor. This kid was indeed a promising talent. If he devoted himself to medicine, he would surely become a master of his generation, with achievements no less than Sun Buzhou! Chen Xiao gave Chu Luo very high recognition in his heart.

And Chu Luo did not disappoint. After curing the elderly gentleman's illness, he smilingly reminded him, "Grandpa, let me give you a heads-up. Although your illness is no longer a major concern after my treatment, you still need to rest for the first three days. Avoid strenuous exercise. After three days, there should be no major problems."

"Don't worry, young man. I'm already this old, even if I wanted to do strenuous exercise, how strenuous could it be!" The elderly gentleman grinned, looking at Chu Luo with paternal affection, as if he were looking at his own grandson.

As soon as the elderly gentleman left, the elderly lady quickly came forward and said, "Young man, please take a look at me quickly. I haven't been feeling well lately..."

"Young man, what about me? I've been having diarrhea lately!"

"I want this young man to examine me too. This young man looks like a good doctor. I won't queue over there anymore!"

"I'll queue here too..."

The queuing seemed contagious. The line that was originally in front of Jia Bing all moved to Chu Luo's side. Chu Luo calmly said with a smile, "Everyone, please don't rush. Queue up and wait patiently. Don't worry, I won't leave until I've seen all of you today."

The situation had made a 180-degree turn. In just over ten seconds, Jia Bing's line was completely empty...
