Chapter 76

"Get ready, naive young man! I'll show you the true abilities of your Old Evil!"

As soon as Old Evil finished speaking, Li Feng felt a suction from his brow, pulling his consciousness back into the jade pendant space.

"This is..." When Li Feng opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was a puppy wagging its tail and squatting in front of him, which startled him. "Old Evil, what happened to you? Why did you turn into a dog?!"

"Who turned into a puppy? That's just an illusion I created!" As soon as Li Feng finished speaking, Old Evil's voice, filled with anger, came from behind him.

Li Feng turned around and saw Old Evil glaring at him with his mustache twitching: "An illusion? What's that?"

Old Evil said with a proud look: "Why don't you touch it and see for yourself!"

"Tch!" Li Feng rolled his eyes and then squatted down to touch the puppy. When the warm, real sensation of the puppy's body was transmitted to his brain through his palm, Li Feng was stunned, "This is a real puppy?!"

No, that's not right! Old Evil said this was just an illusion, but why does it feel so real?!

"Hehe, how about it? Surprised, aren't you?" Seeing Li Feng's shocked expression, Old Evil chuckled, "This is the power of your Old Evil—just as long as your cultivation is high enough, I can create things that are indistinguishable from reality!"

"So amazing?!" At this moment, Li Feng was truly amazed by Old Evil's ability!

"Haha, now you know the power of your Old Evil, right?" Hearing Li Feng's heartfelt praise, Old Evil was quite pleased. He swayed his head and enjoyed the moment, then said, "Alright, no more talk. Your current cultivation is too weak to stay in the jade pendant space for long, and using illusions will consume even more of your true qi! So, if you want to study the veterinary classics, you'd better hurry up!"

"Uh..." Hearing Old Evil's words, Li Feng was taken aback, "You mean I should study the veterinary classics here?"

Li Feng paused and looked around, "What's the difference between studying here and studying outside?"

"Stupid mortal... oh, young man!" Hearing this, Old Evil immediately jumped up, shouting in a tone of frustration, "Do you think I created this puppy illusion just to show off my abilities?"

Li Feng shrugged, looking innocent, "Isn't that the case?"

"..." Old Evil felt an urge to bang his head against the wall, "Brother! Are you messing with me?!"

"..." Seeing Old Evil's almost崩溃的 face, Li Feng's face broke into a smile, and he chuckled, "Yes! I was just teasing you!"

"..." Looking at Li Feng's grinning face, Old Evil was speechless.

Ever since the first time Li Feng met Old Evil and saw through his disguise as the master of the Beast Taming Sect, he had discovered that in the jade pendant space, Old Evil could not sense his thoughts.

After joking with Old Evil, Li Feng turned his gaze to the puppy illusion at his feet.

"This puppy is an illusion I created based on the medical cases in the veterinary classics. You can diagnose and treat the puppy's symptoms accordingly," Old Evil said as Li Feng looked at the puppy illusion, "With your current cultivation, you can probably maintain this for about half an hour, but I believe this half hour will be much more useful than reading the veterinary classics every day! At the very least, it will help you master the medical skills in the classics much faster!"

Hearing Old Evil's words, Li Feng nodded inwardly. Old Evil's statement was not exaggerated at all. With this illusion, he could apply the vast knowledge of the veterinary classics in his mind, allowing him to master the medical skills much faster!

More importantly, since the puppy was an illusion, Li Feng didn't have to worry about it dying due to his mistakes or improper treatment.

This way, Li Feng could boldly experiment and verify his hypotheses during his studies, which would be a great practice for his veterinary skills!

Understanding the significance of this illusion, Li Feng put aside his playful heart and bowed deeply to Old Evil, "Old Evil, thank you!"

"Ah? Uh... Yeah... Oh!" Old Evil seemed caught off guard by Li Feng's sudden bow and was at a loss for words, "Well... You'd better start treating the puppy illusion! Time is limited, are you ready?"

Li Feng nodded, "I'm ready!"

The moment Li Feng finished speaking, the puppy that had been lying obediently at his feet suddenly started convulsing.

"The dog began to convulse in the waist two days ago. When touched, the dog's waist is particularly tense, and it whines and becomes restless. The hind legs tremble, and the dog has abnormal urination and defecation. It is usually fed rice and chicken liver," Old Evil said, "That's all the information I can give you. The rest is up to you!"

"Okay," Li Feng nodded, "I need a set of standard diagnostic tools!"

"No problem!" Old Evil nodded and waved his hand. A complete set of diagnostic tools immediately appeared beside Li Feng, "Using this set of illusionary tools will consume five minutes of your true qi. You need to hurry!"

Li Feng opened the diagnostic tools and began a detailed examination of the puppy, muttering to himself as he worked.

"The dog has a fever, with a body temperature of 39.8°C!"

"The hind legs have lost sensation, with no response to needle pricks!"

"Touching the waist causes obvious pain, and the dog arches its back!"

"Touching the bladder causes urination and defecation!"

"X-ray examination of the abdomen and side view shows no abnormal changes!"

"..."

As he muttered, Li Feng quickly compared the symptoms with the vast knowledge of the veterinary classics in his mind, and the accumulated wisdom of his predecessors surfaced in his thoughts.

"Based on the comprehensive symptoms, this can be confirmed as hind leg paralysis in the dog!"

In just two minutes, Li Feng had diagnosed the puppy's condition.

"Correct! You got it right!" Old Evil clapped his hands and laughed, "But you've only solved the first problem, the diagnosis. The second problem is the cause. What exactly caused the dog's hind leg paralysis?"

Li Feng smiled and answered without hesitation, "The causes of hind leg paralysis in dogs are complex, mainly including vitamin poisoning, hypocalcemia, neurogenic myelitis, spinal vascular disease, spinal nerve disease, lumbar injury, and lumbar muscle strain. Considering the dog's frequent consumption of chicken liver, I suspect that the dog's hind leg paralysis is due to vitamin poisoning from excessive chicken liver intake."

"The main symptoms of vitamin poisoning are reduced appetite, weight loss, hypersensitivity, swollen and painful joints, limping, and in some cases, full-body tremors, urinary problems, and in severe cases, neurological paralysis and paralysis."

"Long-term consumption of chicken liver, which is rich in vitamins, leads to vitamin accumulation, which inhibits the function of osteoblasts, causing proliferative lesions in the periosteum where ligaments and tendons attach. This is likely the main reason for the dog's hind leg paralysis."

Old Evil asked, "So, how should it be treated?"

"Use An Gong Niu Huang Wan and Da Huo Luo Wan, twice a day for seven days, and recommend stopping the feeding of chicken liver to the dog to prevent further vitamin intake."

Old Evil asked again, "Why use An Gong Niu Huang Wan and Da Huo Luo Wan?"

"An Gong Niu Huang Wan is made from eleven herbs, including ox bile, turmeric, rhinoceros horn, musk, pearl, gardenia, coptis, scutellaria, cinnabar, realgar, and borneol. It is a traditional Chinese medicine for emergency use, which can enhance liver detoxification functions, especially suitable for stroke, hemiplegia, and patients with high fever and coma. It is also widely used for brain injury with impaired consciousness, severe pneumonia in children, high fever convulsions, toxic dysentery, and brain developmental disorders with high fever, coma, and convulsions. Therefore, it is known as one of the 'Three Treasures of Warm Diseases.'"

"Da Huo Luo Wan, on the other hand, is made from herbs such as ox bile, scorpion, agarwood, musk, blood竭, gastrodia, fine cinnamon, tiger bone, clove, cardamom, bamboo yellow, turtle shell, coptis, and banded krait. It has the functions of dispelling wind and dampness, and promoting circulation and relieving pain. It is mainly used for limb stiffness, paralysis, numbness, and leg and knee pain."

"Using both together can achieve the effects of promoting circulation and relieving pain, and calming and opening the orifices!"

After saying this, Li Feng closed his mouth and quietly watched the puppy, which was still convulsing.

Under Li Feng's gaze, a clear light flashed over the puppy, and the puppy, which had been convulsing just a moment ago, instantly returned to normal and even rubbed its head against Li Feng's pant leg!

"Correct! Perfectly correct!" Old Evil laughed, "How about it? Do you need a break, or do you want to continue?"

"Continue!" Having successfully diagnosed the first illusionary condition, Li Feng was full of confidence!

In the next half hour, Li Feng went through four diagnoses, some of which he completed successfully, and some of which he made mistakes.

But in the process of success and failure, Li Feng continuously absorbed the knowledge from the veterinary classics in his mind and compared it with modern animal medicine, incorporating it into his own medical system.
