Chapter 24 The Physician's Diagnosis

A month later, Guiguzi returned!

Lu Li was surprised that the old man actually returned with the medical family.

The old man had a full head of white hair and looked older than Guiguzi.

"Junior Lu Li greets the senior physician!"

Through Guiguzi's introduction, Lu Li learned that this person was actually Bian Que's grand-disciple!

Bian Que was the most famous representative of physicians during the Warring States period. He was skilled in diagnosis, especially in observation and pulse diagnosis.

In diagnosing diseases, he had already applied the comprehensive diagnostic techniques of traditional Chinese medicine, which were later summarized as the four diagnostic methods of traditional Chinese medicine: observation, auscultation and olfaction, inquiry and palpation. At that time, Bian Que called them observation of complexion, listening to sound, writing shadows and palpating pulse.

He made tremendous contributions to medicine, and his grand-disciple, named Qingshan, is now a representative of the medical profession.

After he finished treating Lu Li, he came out with a furrowed brow.

"Old man Qing, how is it?" Guiguzi asked impatiently.

Lu Li is his precious disciple; he absolutely cannot allow any loss to him.

To everyone's surprise, Qingshan shook his head and clicked his tongue.

"That's impossible!"

"What do you mean it's impossible? Are you trying to drive me crazy? What's wrong with my disciple?" Guiguzi asked anxiously.

"His pulse was strong and vigorous, his vitality was extremely strong, and his internal strength was profound. He didn't seem like someone who had been seriously injured at all."

Lu Li was seriously injured at the time. Although his internal organs were not damaged, it was impossible for him to fully recover in a month based on the external injuries and the amount of blood he lost.

Even more incredibly, Lu Li recovered in just eight days!

Now Guiguzi was scratching his head in frustration, as even the medical experts couldn't figure it out.

Unconvinced, Qingshan returned to the room and lifted Lu Li's clothes, only to find no scar.

"This...this is impossible! There's not even a scar! You old ghost, are you trying to fool me?"

Qingshan felt that Guiguzi was deceiving him. How could someone who had suffered serious external injuries not even have a scar?

Guiguzi also lost his temper and immediately said, "Are you out of your mind? I went to find you half a month ago just to deceive you?"

Qingshan thought about it and agreed. It took a month for this round trip. Even if Guiguzi was bored, he wouldn't do that, would he?

"This is bizarre! Could it be that divine bodies really exist in this world?"

Upon hearing the words "divine body," even Guiguzi frowned, clearly having never heard of it before.

What is a divine body?

Qingshan explained, "In our medical community, there has always been a legend that there is a special constitution in this world called the Divine Body."

"As the name suggests, it means a divine body, which can heal and repair itself quickly when injured. Such a person is extremely rare, so it is only a legend in medical circles and cannot be verified."

"Young friend, may I try it out?" Qingshan asked excitedly.

This sent a chill down Lu Li's spine!

Are they using him as a guinea pig? No way, I absolutely cannot agree to that!

"senior......"

Before Lu Li could speak, Guiguzi shouted angrily, "You old bastard, you can't find the cause, yet you want to persecute my disciple?"

To everyone's surprise, Qingshan retorted without backing down, "Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs to create medicine! If Lu Li truly possesses a divine body, do you know how much he would contribute to medicine?"

"Pah! Whether you contribute or not is your business as a doctor. This is my disciple, how dare you!"

Guiguzi was notorious for protecting his own among the Hundred Schools of Thought. Qingshan knew that if he really dared to use Lu Li as a test subject, that old fellow Guiguzi could tear the medical school apart.

After all, finding a successor at over seventy years old is an absolute treasure.

"You old scoundrel! I'm ashamed to be associated with you!"

Guiguzi's words infuriated Qingshan. He had come all the way to Yunmeng Mountain, and Guiguzi had this attitude!

However, this also reflects that he must have had a very deep friendship with Guiguzi.

Otherwise, who would come all the way to Yunmeng Mountain with you just because you said a few words?

"Alright, just tell me straight, is my disciple alright or not!"

Qingshan snorted, then said, "Judging from his pulse, he's perfectly fine. If he truly possessed a divine body, then..."

Before Qingshan could finish speaking, Guiguzi quickly waved his hand to interrupt him.

"It's good that you're alright! Since you're alright, you can go back now!"

"You old geezer, I didn't even get a sip of water before diagnosing your precious apprentice, and now you want me to leave? No way!"

Qingshan also lost his temper and started arguing with Guiguzi.

Lu Li was speechless. Were these leaders of the Hundred Families, who were usually so high and mighty, really like this in private?

Lu Li had already found it hard to accept that Guiguzi and the Taoist leader had fought before, but now two old men in their seventies or eighties were actually hurling insults at each other without any regard for their image.

If this gets out, who will believe it?

"Little Deer, arrange a room for him so he can stay here first. Prepare the food and drinks." Lu Li instructed.

Hearing Lu Li's words, Qingshan stroked his white beard and said with a smile, "You're the only disciple who knows proper manners! You old codger, you're not even as good as a junior!"

Seeing that Guiguzi was about to launch into another tirade, Lu Li quickly stopped him and said to Qingshan, "Senior, there's nothing wrong with my body, right?"

Aoyama nodded and said, "Aside from a little internal heat, there's absolutely no problem!"

Hearing him say that, Lu Li breathed a sigh of relief.

He was also a little worried, wondering if there was really something wrong with his health.
