Upon hearing this, Li Jue looked at the boy on the ground and said.

"These ailments are merely minor within the Qingnang Secret Technique; I can cure them with just a little effort!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Simiao's eyes widened immediately, his face filled with disbelief.

"Can you really cure this person?"

"More or less!"

"If we treat him now, there's at least a 90% chance of success. But if we talk to the Taoist priest a little longer, the chance will probably drop to only 70%."

Upon hearing this, Sun Simiao immediately became anxious, grabbed Li Jue's arm, and urged him urgently.

"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and save them!"

"Master Sun, you haven't accepted my invitation yet..."

"This humble Taoist agrees!"

"I'm going to make you stay in our village for three years!"

"Okay, okay, okay!"

"As long as you cure this person, I'll stay with you for the rest of my life!"

Seeing that Sun Simiao agreed so readily, Li Jue suddenly felt a little uneasy. Could this old man be lying to me?

In fact, Sun Simiao was deceiving him.

After all, he was going to travel the world to collect prescriptions and compile the "Essential Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Pieces of Gold for Emergency Use". How could he stay in one place for too long?

Let alone staying in the village for three years, he wouldn't even stay for three months!

"Master, monks don't lie, do they?"

When Sun Simiao heard that it concerned his faith, he immediately became hesitant.

But when he saw the boy struggling in pain on the ground, he hardened his heart again and told a lie.

"I swear by the Three Pure Ones that if you can cure this young man, I will serve you for three years!"

However, as soon as Sun Simiao finished making the vow, he hurriedly apologized to the Three Pure Ones in his heart.

With reverence from the patriarchs above, this disciple, in his eagerness to save lives, swore an oath before them. If this disciple has offended in any way, I beg the patriarchs' forgiveness…

Seeing that Sun Simiao had sworn an oath to the Three Pure Ones, Li Jue immediately believed the old man's words and instructed the patient's family to carry him to the Zhechongfu Medical Office.

Sun Simiao followed him into the operating room and saw that Li Jue was not only treating the patient, but also leisurely washing his hands. He couldn't help but urge him on.

"Hurry up and treat him!"

"I……"

"I'm disinfecting!"

What is disinfection?

"It can't be explained in a few words. I'll explain it to you in detail after I finish the surgery!"

"Oh, by the way, we don't have any anesthetics yet. I wonder if Master Sun has any way to make someone fall asleep and feel no pain?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Simiao did not press for an explanation, but calmly asked...

"How far do you want to fall into a deep sleep?"

Upon hearing this, Li Jue took out a knife and pointed it at the injured man's lower abdomen.

"I don't know what level of pain is needed, but I just want the patient to be able to move around in pain when I operate on this spot!"

"oh……"

Upon hearing this, Sun Simiao pondered for a moment, then took out a bag of silver needles from his medicine box and quickly inserted them into several acupoints on the boy's head and abdomen.

He's asleep!

Li Jue was completely stunned by the incredible acupuncture technique. In his previous life, he had only heard that some people could do it, but he had never seen such a powerful person!

"May I ask, Master Sun, how long will these needles keep him asleep?"

“As long as I don’t remove the needles, he can sleep forever, until he dies in his sleep…”

"Uh..."

"Master Sun is amazing!"

Seeing that the patient was fast asleep, Li Jue immediately drew a mark on the patient's lower abdomen, then took out a piece of white cloth with a round hole cut in the middle, laid it on the patient's stomach, and aligned the mark exactly with the round hole.

After doing all this, he applied some alcohol to the patient's lower abdomen for disinfection.

Although the facilities were rather rudimentary, compared to waiting to die, he was the only ray of hope for this patient with intestinal abscess.

The term "intestinal abscess," when translated into modern terms, is actually the most common form of appendicitis.

Such minor ailments, if they occurred in later generations, would only be slightly more complicated than getting double eyelid surgery, but in the Tang Dynasty at present, they were incurable diseases.

Li Jue had been dissecting corpses these past few days. He wouldn't say he could manipulate the body with his bare hands, but he wasn't flustered either.

It was his first time operating on a living person, so it was understandable that he was a little nervous.

Sun Simiao had already noticed that the young man in front of him was nervous, so he immediately began to quietly recite the Great Physician's Sincerity, which he had personally written.

"When a great physician treats illness, he must first calm the mind and focus the will, be free from desires and wants, and first develop a great compassionate heart, vowing to relieve the suffering of all living beings..."

Upon hearing Sun Simiao's compassionate voice, Li Jue's tense mind immediately relaxed.

I'm saving people!

If I don't save him, he will only be able to wait to die in agony!

I am great!

I am noble!

I am someone who has transcended vulgar tastes!

After mentally preparing himself, Li Jue then made his cut at the spot he had already marked.

Even the slight tingling sensation of the blade cutting through his skin made his scalp tingle with nervousness.

How can I describe this feeling? It's like a sharp knife stuck in a quilt. It seems smooth, but there's actually an indescribable feeling of obstruction.

Fortunately, appendectomy is not difficult. After the initial tension, Li Jue quickly adapted to the rhythm of the surgery and successfully completed the operation.

Sun Simiao watched Li Jue's movements the whole time, and when he saw the intestinal abscess that had swollen up like a sausage, he couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"Is this the lesion?"

"yes!"

"Quickly, let this humble Taoist take a look!"

"I've practiced medicine my whole life, and this is the first time I've ever seen what an intestinal abscess looks like!"

Upon hearing this, Li Jue casually tossed the removed appendix into a plate and then focused intently on suturing the patient's wound.
