Chapter 70

Of course, evaluating a person's medical skills cannot be based solely on their actions.

More importantly, the most direct reaction of the patient after the treatment is completed is what truly allows for an accurate final judgment and evaluation.

Chu Nan, as expected, completed the first step of the acupuncture treatment with great efficiency, spending no more than half an hour in total. Generally, those with acupuncture experience know that half an hour is not a long time.

However, Chu Nan, who had practiced a miraculous medical technique since childhood, understood that the most important principle was to achieve the best results in the shortest time.

Medicine, after all, is about protecting and saving human lives.

It is a battle against fate and a race against time; a second's difference could mean the difference between life and death.

The biggest difference between Chu Nan and other traditional Chinese medicine doctors, besides his more pure and profound medical heritage, is that he knows how to use the flow of qi and acupuncture to maximize the therapeutic effect.

Although it was only a short half hour, Chu Nan was drenched in sweat. —— Mr. Zhou's condition was not light; years of accumulated illness had already severely damaged his internal organs. Chu Nan used acupuncture and qi regulation to gradually unblock Mr. Zhou's meridians, putting in a great deal of effort. Although Chu Nan is young and competitive, in his professional field, he clearly spared no effort.

If Chu Nan had slowed down the treatment process, using one or two hours or even longer, he would not have been so exhausted. However, to make the overall effect more impressive and to give a harsh lesson to the scoundrel Gao Xi in the medical field, Chu Nan used all his strength.

It is worth noting that although Chu Nan's entire acupuncture process seemed tedious and lengthy, to his peers, it was a spectacular and ever-changing performance. Each of Chu Nan's movements with the silver needles and his judgments on the meridian points were like a star performance, with techniques that were both exquisite and top-notch! —— At this moment, Ye Yao was already holding her breath, her beautiful eyes not daring to blink, watching Chu Nan's acupuncture, afraid of missing any detail. Her initial disbelief turned to worry, and then to admiration.

Her complete change of perception about Chu Nan took only half an hour!

Just over half an hour ago, she was still comparing Chu Nan to the scoundrel Gao Xi. But now... even if she were confused enough to classify black fungus and human organs as the same category, she would no longer consider Chu Nan a worthless fraud!

"Mr. Zhou... today's acupuncture is over..."

Chu Nan took a deep breath, straightened his back with some fatigue, slowly put away the silver needles, gently wiped the sweat from his forehead, and gave Zhou Yongfu a relaxed and encouraging smile.

Zhou Yongfu nodded excitedly in response.

In fact, during Chu Nan's acupuncture, he could feel his body improving at a noticeable rate...

The feeling was very unique and unforgettable for Zhou Yongfu.

Eager to sit up and feel the effects, Zhou Yongfu subconsciously supported himself on the bed, trying to lean back and use the headboard for support to sit up more easily.

But what he did not expect was... when he supported himself, he actually sat up straight directly!!!

"Huh???"

For many years, he had not felt such ease in getting out of bed. Mr. Zhou's eyes widened in surprise, as if he were a child encountering something new.

He tried to move his arms and legs, and the surprise and excitement on his face became even more evident!!!

"Clap."

With a sound, he directly balanced himself and spun around, his feet forcefully stepping into the shoes under the bed.

Putting on the shoes, he immediately stood up and took a few steps, Zhou Yongfu was so excited that he could hardly speak. Ye Yao even noticed a hint of moisture in the old man's eyes.

"Three years... I haven't felt this ease in three years... I feel... like I've become ten years younger!!" When he first arrived, Zhou Yongfu's face was green, but now, there was a hint of a rosy complexion, which was also related to his mood.

Zhou Yongfu grabbed Chu Nan's hand: "Young man... thank you... thank you so much!! My illness that hasn't improved in three years! You just... poked a few times... and it's... half cured!!"

"Uh..." Chu Nan had three black lines on his forehead. Why do people, regardless of age, have such a lack of decorum, referring to acupuncture as "poking"? Zhao Zihong being young and frivolous is one thing, but you, an old man, are also acting cute?

"Mr. Zhou, it's not really half cured. I just adjusted your qi and blood to the best state possible, and your meridians are no longer as blocked. It's just a temporary special feeling. To completely cure your illness... it will still require a long period of treatment and recuperation."

"Yes, yes, yes!!" Zhou Yongfu, as a person of considerable importance, actually behaved like an unstable child in front of Chu Nan, holding his hand tightly and not letting go, grinning foolishly.

"Cough, cough..." Chu Nan suddenly coughed lightly, for some reason.

However, Zhou Yongfu was reminded by Chu Nan's cough and realized his loss of composure. He also noticed Gao Xi, who was standing beside him with a face that was green with envy.

At this moment, he remembered that Gao Xi had a significant prejudice against Chu Nan, and now that Chu Nan had treated him so successfully, it was as if he had been slapping Gao Xi's face for half an hour.

Just a moment ago, wasn't it this guy who said... the condition had worsened and only surgery was left?

Zhou Yongfu really wanted to spit a face full of dog shit at him. No one wants to play with their life! But... he knew his status and position, and he couldn't say too subjective things; he had to consider the bigger picture.

"Little Gao... I really thank you today! I didn't expect that you and this young man arranged this scene to give me a psychological contrast, to cheer me up and help me release stress, right? Little Gao, thank you for your hard work."

As he spoke, Zhou Yongfu seemed to be talking to himself as he went up and held Gao Xi's hand, patting it earnestly.

But everyone could hear that Zhou Yongfu was giving Gao Xi a way out.

And Gao Xi had no choice but to accept this, his face extremely ugly, but he had to force a smile: "Hehe... no... no... it's what I should do... it's what I should do, hehehehe..."
