The Invincible Strongest Student

Chapter 472: Chapter 472: He Is the Real Master

”It’s about our old Liou. His chronic conditions are always treated symptomatically, never getting to the root. He has to be hospitalized at least once a year. I know it’s hard to get a hold of you usually, but today you must give me some advice. I know you’re not interested in money, so name your price.” Yan Xinrou said.

Yan Xinrou was quite excited at this moment because she finally got to meet Zhao Xuefeng, and it seemed like he had a great relationship with her daughter and son-in-law.

Liou Qingcheng’s father’s chronic conditions, like those of a normal person, can be managed.

However, old Liou’s habits are just too poor. As soon as he eats a little high-fat food, the management fails, and the fat levels shoot up again.

As old Liou would say, ”I try to control myself. You don’t let me eat meat, smoke, or drink; it’s killing me. I can only do what I can.”

Yan Xinrou had consulted numerous famous doctors, but the result regarding the chronic conditions was always the same: they can only be managed, and to be entirely cured, one must stick to it.

But if old Liou could stick to it, Yan Xinrou wouldn’t be so conflicted.

Later, someone recommended Zhao Xuefeng to her, a renowned figure in the medical field. However, Zhao Xuefeng was very low-profile, known only as a teacher at the Kanyue City Medical University, rarely making an appearance.

Zhao Xuefeng waved his hand and smiled, ”Though I can handle it, why go far when you have someone close?”

Yan Xinrou was taken aback, ”What do you mean, sir?”

Zhao Xuefeng laughed, ”For such things, whether it’s medication or the treatment process, I’m not as good as Lin Tian. He’s the real ’master.’”

Yan Xinrou turned her gaze toward Lin Tian, somewhat incredulously asking, ”Lin Tian is better than you?”

Zhao Xuefeng nodded, ”Don’t underestimate his youth. I think he’s more than qualified to teach me.”

Lin Tian helplessly smiled, ”Sir, I don’t have absolute confidence. Please don’t praise me too highly.”

”Lin Tian, don’t be so modest. The chronic conditions are no problem for you at all,” Zhao Xuefeng asserted confidently.

It was then that Yan Xinrou came to her senses and glared at Lin Tian with false bravado, ”You little rascal, so capable but still hiding it? If you keep this up, I’ll be upset. Do you plan to treat your dad’s issue or not?”

Lin Tian smiled wryly, ”Mom, he’s my future father-in-law. Of course, I’ll handle it. Don’t worry, it’s on me.”

Since Zhao Xuefeng was the one making the big claims, if it’s unsolvable, he’d call Zhao Xuefeng in to clean up the mess.

Yan Xinrou finally regained her smile and nodded with satisfaction, ”Alright then, we can talk about this later. Anyway, Lin Tian is my son-in-law. He won’t run away. Come on, let’s eat! The meal’s getting cold.”

Lin Tian helplessly looked at the big pot of Ten-Complete Great Replenishing Soup in his hands, feeling like something might go wrong if he drank it all.

However, seeing Yan Xinrou’s expectant gaze, Lin Tian gritted his teeth, infused Spiritual Qi, and once the flavor turned delicious, he started gulping down the soup with a ladle.

Yan Xinrou urged, ”Slow down, slow down! No one’s competing with you for it. Seeing you enjoy it so much, I’ll bring you another bowl tonight.”

”Cough, cough, cough...” Lin Tian choked and coughed repeatedly, caught off guard.

After lunch, Yan Xinrou left. Before leaving, she earnestly gave Lin Tian and Liou Qingcheng a lengthy lecture.

Lin Tian, rubbing his full belly, looked at Liou Qingcheng who was giggling and said irritably, ”Don’t laugh! Your mom just said she’s sending the Great Replenishing Soup to your dorm in a few days and telling your roommates you’re a pregnant woman, so they take good care of you. What are you going to do then?”

Liou Qingcheng’s laughing face froze, her face turning red with anger. She had already decided to move out so that Yan Xinrou couldn’t find her!

Zhao Xuefeng watched the two with a smile and, after the commotion settled, started chatting with Lin Tian again.

Zhao, being a very talkative person, especially about medicine, could chat for another two hours.

Zhao Xuefeng asked seriously, ”Lin Tian, do you still need acupuncture this afternoon?”

Acupuncture can also aid in the treatment of fractures. After a fracture, nearby meridians may have blood stasis, obstructing blood flow. Acupuncture can promote blood circulation and speed up recovery.

In the past, Zhao Xuefeng would definitely have suggested acupuncture for Lin Tian. But now, he truly regarded Lin Tian as someone of considerable stature, treating him as the attending physician.

Lin Tian shook his head, ”Sir, acupuncture wouldn’t be much use for my fracture anymore. The channels opened up yesterday. Now, I just need to brew some medicine, and Qingcheng can help me with that.”

Zhao Xuefeng was surprised, ”Already opened? So quickly? What kind of medicine? Can I take a look?”

Lin Tian nodded and had Liou Qingcheng bring him a pen and a notebook. He then wrote a prescription and the brewing process.

Zhao Xuefeng took it with a puzzled look, sat back on the sofa, and began pondering. Liou Qingcheng also studied the prescription, thinking deeply.

Lin Tian didn’t interrupt their thoughts. Zhao Xuefeng, being a master of ancient medicine, would eventually make sense of the prescription. Giving hints too readily wouldn’t benefit Zhao Xuefeng; having more thought processes is a good thing.

After a long while, Liou Qingcheng still had a thoughtful expression, while Zhao’s expression was much more animated, sometimes smiling, frowning, and even clicking his tongue occasionally.

The prescription had only eighteen ingredients. Zhao Xuefeng pondered over the compatibility, finally looking at Lin Tian with a peculiar expression, asking, ”Lin Tian, I really don’t understand. All eighteen ingredients have strong effects, with none for neutralization. Wouldn’t this harm your body?”

Indeed, in Zhao Xuefeng’s view, the person who came up with this prescription must be mad. Such strong properties—who could endure it? Moreover, Lin Tian had nine fractures.

Lin Tian smiled, ”Precisely because of its strong effects, I chose them. Don’t worry, I can handle its potency.”

”Isn’t it too risky? I think you’re better off with a gentle nurturing approach.”

While Zhao Xuefeng respected Lin Tian’s ancient medical theories, his stubborn nature meant he’d voice any recommendation he had.

”Nurturing is a good method, but this prescription won’t pose a problem for me. Sir, my time is very precious, nurturing is simply too time-consuming for me.”

Zhao Xuefeng reluctantly nodded, ”Alright, since you’re confident, we’ll go with your plan.”

After speaking, Zhao Xuefeng stood up with the prescription and said to Liou Qingcheng, ”Girl, stay after your class tomorrow morning, and I’ll take you to get the ingredients. Seeing how diligent you are, I’ll teach you a bit more. I’ll take you to a place with better ingredients than those here at the hospital. Plus, Lin Tian’s medicinal brewing method is very complex, and you can’t handle it alone, so you’ll be my assistant tomorrow.”
