Chapter 26: Who Says Traditional Chinese Medicine Can't Treat Disfigurement

Professor Chen clearly had some knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine, so when he heard Lin Chen's response, he became even more disdainful, firmly believing that Lin Chen was just there to scam money.

Red Sister, who had initially harbored some hope for Lin Chen, now looked at him with a cold gaze after hearing Professor Chen's words.

Lin Chen, however, said calmly, "Who says traditional Chinese medicine can't treat disfigurement? If you think it can't, it's just your ignorance."

Professor Chen flew into a rage, "Arrogant and ignorant, you don't know your place, young man! You say you can treat it, right? Then tell me how you would do it!"

Without hesitation, Lin Chen replied, "Her facial tissue is severely damaged, and ordinary methods can't cure it. However, human cells have a memory function. By stimulating her facial cells to accelerate metabolism, we can control some cells to grow rapidly like cancer cells in a short time, thus regenerating muscles and skin."

Professor Chen laughed coldly as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world, "Ridiculous! You talk so easily, but I think you don't even understand basic medical knowledge! The memory function of human cells isn't that easy to stimulate. Accelerating metabolism and controlling facial cells to grow like cancer cells is a complete fairy tale!"

"Someone, quickly get this person out of here. He's just causing trouble. Call the police and hand him over to them. Trying to scam a million by talking nonsense, he must be crazy!"

After he finished speaking, someone nearby was about to call the police.

"Red Sister, I want to give him a chance. I believe in him," An Xuerao suddenly said, her voice not loud but very firm.

For some reason, An Xuerao felt that this man, who seemed younger than herself, had a special aura that made her want to trust him. When he spoke to her earlier, his gentleness made her unwilling to believe he was a fraud.

"This..."

Red Sister was a bit hesitant. Even she, who knew nothing about medicine, thought what this person said was nonsense. Insisting on letting him treat An Xuerao would undoubtedly embarrass Professor Chen.

But without much thought, she said, "Alright, let him try."

As for whether Professor Chen would be embarrassed, she didn't care. She wasn't afraid of offending Professor Chen; the most important thing was for An Xuerao to be cured.

"You... Fine, I'll watch to see how he treats her!" Professor Chen said with a grim face.

Lin Chen didn't waste any time. He took out a small ceramic bottle and removed a pill.

"Swallow this pill," Lin Chen said to An Xuerao.

The black pill looked like a mud ball, giving a rough and cheap impression.

"What is this? Does it have safety certification?" Red Sister frowned.

"No, if you trust me, swallow it. If not, I'll leave now," Lin Chen said, somewhat annoyed by the constant questioning, his tone tinged with impatience.

An Xuerao didn't hesitate, putting the pill in her mouth and swallowing it with a sip of water.

Professor Chen sneered even more, thinking, "Is this little mud ball a magic pill? This looks like a fraud!"

After making An Xuerao lie down, Lin Chen asked, "Do you feel anything on your face now?"

An Xuerao's face was flushed, and she said, "It's hot. My face feels very hot and itchy, very itchy."

After saying that, she raised her hand to scratch her face.

Lin Chen grabbed her hand and said, "If you want to restore your appearance, don't scratch. Endure it, it will be fine soon."

His words had a strong deterrent effect, and An Xuerao immediately stopped, though it was uncomfortable, it was nothing compared to the prospect of restoring her appearance.

Lin Chen took out silver needles from his pocket, and in a short while, dozens of needles were placed on An Xuerao's face.

Professor Chen's expression finally changed. Although he didn't know acupuncture, he had seen masters perform it. Lin Chen's movements were even faster and steadier, with a special rhythm. The movements weren't quick, but they were mesmerizing and strange.

However, he still didn't believe Lin Chen could cure An Xuerao. In his view, her face was impossible to treat with any method, let alone acupuncture!

But soon, his face changed dramatically, and he was speechless.

Red Sister was shocked by the changes on An Xuerao's face and couldn't help but shout, "Xuerao, your face, your face..."

An Xuerao's face was still covered with silver needles, so she couldn't speak, but she looked at Red Sister, clearly asking what was happening to her face.

Red Sister tried to calm down but still spoke with rapid breath, "Your face is really recovering. The flesh on your face is slowly moving, and the dark red scars are quickly disappearing. This... This is incredible! Too incredible! A divine doctor, a divine doctor! What a magical medical skill... No, this is almost like a divine art!"

Looking at Lin Chen, there was no longer any doubt in her eyes, only shock, disbelief, and admiration.

A few minutes later, Lin Chen removed the silver needles from An Xuerao's face.

Lin Chen smiled and said, "It's done. Your face is now basically restored, with only some faint traces that are hard to see with the naked eye. As long as you take the pills I give you, these traces will disappear completely in a few days, and your skin will be even better than before the disfigurement."

"Really? My face is really better? Red Sister, give me a mirror, I want to see for myself. Quick, give me a mirror."

An Xuerao was so excited that her body trembled slightly. She took the small makeup mirror Red Sister handed her, looked at her face, and then her face showed disbelief and joy as she exclaimed, "It's better, it's really better!"

The dark red scars on her face were almost gone, leaving only faint traces. According to Lin Chen, these traces would be completely removed with the pills, and her skin would be even better than before.

For her, this was like being pulled from hell to heaven.

Professor Chen, who had been frozen in place since the beginning, now started to tremble like a sieve.

"A miracle! This is a miracle! This is too unbelievable, am I really not dreaming? Is this really not an illusion?"

Professor Chen shouted, sounding almost mad.

For Red Sister and An Xuerao, Lin Chen's medical skills were indeed very magical and impressive, but that was all.

However, for Professor Chen, an authority in dermatology, this was a miracle. Because of his deep understanding of human skin, he was even more shocked.

One could say that in a few minutes, Lin Chen had overturned Professor Chen's decades of medical knowledge.

It turned out that traditional Chinese medicine, pills, and acupuncture, which many hospitals had abandoned, had such divine effects!

Professor Chen took a deep breath, calmed down, and then walked to Lin Chen, bowing deeply with a respectful and almost reverent look in his eyes.

"Brother, I've lived for decades, but I never thought I would be so blind. I apologize to you. Your medical skills are... truly incredible, almost like the legendary divine arts! Is... Is this really traditional Chinese medicine?"

"Of course it is!" Lin Chen said.

Lin Chen was somewhat surprised that the other party admitted his mistake so straightforwardly, but it wasn't strange that he was initially skeptical. Anyone would find it hard to believe that a young man in his early twenties could have such high medical skills.

Seeing the other party being polite, he also became polite, "Professor Chen, don't be like this. If I were you, I would probably be skeptical too. But, please don't pursue the matter with Doctor Fan?"

Doctor Fan, who saw that Lin Chen hadn't forgotten him, looked at him gratefully.

Professor Chen quickly said, "Of course! Doctor Fan is not at fault but has done a good deed. I will talk to the dean and recommend that he give Doctor Fan more responsibilities."

Doctor Fan was overjoyed and thanked him profusely.

"Thank you, I don't even know your name yet?"

An Xuerao, having recovered from the joy of her restored appearance, looked at Lin Chen gratefully.

Lin Chen smiled and said, "My name is Lin Chen. You don't need to thank me; I'm here for the money. Give me a million, and I'll give you the remaining pills."

Making these pills was simple for Lin Chen, and the ingredients weren't expensive, but only he could provide them.

An Xuerao, hearing this, playfully rolled her eyes and smiled, "I wondered why you treated me without taking the money first. You were just holding back, didn't you think I was the kind of person who would turn around and deny it?"

An Xuerao's face no longer showed the despair and sadness of before, nor the terrifying dark red scars. She now looked playful and cute, and Lin Chen was momentarily stunned by her overly beautiful face.

This woman seemed to have stepped out of an ancient painting, beautiful and refined, as if untouched by the world.

Her eyes seemed to have clear rivers flowing in them, and her features were perfect, with no flaws to be found.

If human faces were carved by God, then while God might spend a day on an ordinary person's face, he must have spent years on this one.

"Am I beautiful?" An Xuerao blinked and smiled.

Lin Chen's face turned red, and he took out the remaining pills from his pocket, "This bottle has 7 more pills. Take one every night, and your face will be completely healed."

An Xuerao smiled and took them, saying, "Red Sister, transfer the money to Lin Chen."

Red Sister smiled and nodded, asked for Lin Chen's bank account, and operated her phone. Soon, Lin Chen received a bank message.

Bank account received 1 million.

Seeing that the money was in hand, Lin Chen planned to leave.

Professor Chen quickly said, "Brother, I wonder if you are interested in working as a doctor in the hospital? Or, are you interested in teaching at the Medical College of Moon Sea University? Or I can talk to you about the project I'm currently working on, and if you're interested, you're welcome to join."

"Also, can... Can I learn traditional Chinese medicine from you?" Professor Chen blushed and added.

He had previously said that Lin Chen hadn't learned traditional Chinese medicine well and should go back to study for a few more years, but now he wanted to learn from Lin Chen. Even though he had experienced many storms, he was still somewhat embarrassed.

Lin Chen was slightly taken aback, then shook his head, "Thank you for your kind offer, Professor Chen, but I don't plan to join any projects or become a doctor or teacher. As for learning traditional Chinese medicine from me, do you mean you want to be my disciple?"

"Yes, yes, if Brother... No, if Divine Doctor Lin is willing, I want to be your disciple," Professor Chen said firmly.

The surrounding doctors and nurses couldn't help but draw a deep breath. Professor Chen, who was always arrogant and wouldn't even give the dean face, was now willing to be a disciple of a young man in his early twenties?

Many young doctors looked at Lin Chen with envy and jealousy, wishing they could take his place. With Professor Chen as a disciple, they would soon be well-known in the medical community of Moon Sea City, meet many high-ranking officials, and naturally achieve fame and fortune.

Just as everyone was envying Lin Chen's good luck, he shook his head again, "Sorry, I don't plan to take on any disciples."
