Yuan Zhengde's gaze towards Ye Xingchen changed slightly; he had heard of Ye Xingchen.
Moreover, someone praised so highly by Xue Changchun, who was known as the King of Medicine, must have had exceptional medical skills.
"Professor Xue, you flatter me. I only have some insights into traditional Chinese medicine, which I would not call profound. It is my honor to be able to exchange ideas with a national expert like Professor Yuan." Ye Xingchen smiled and adopted a very humble attitude.
"Then you should have some self-awareness. Even Elder Yuan couldn't cure it completely, so what good ideas do you have? My sister must be out of her mind to invite you here," Tang Jin snorted.
"You brat, are you looking for a beating? Don't you dare disrespect Mr. Ye." Tang Yixue's face hardened.
"Sister, I can go along with you on other things, but this matter concerns Grandpa's health. You women are all talk and no action, so I have to be the one to oversee this," Tang Jin said, unusually assertive.
"You..." Tang Yixue was about to get angry, but Ye Xingchen spoke up.
"Your name is Tang Jin, right? You're so young, and you're eating so many sea dog pills. Aren't you afraid of damaging your kidneys?"
"Who did you say ate sea dog pills?" Tang Jin was stunned, as if he had been greatly insulted: "I warn you not to talk nonsense. My kidneys are perfectly healthy. I never eat these things."
"Don't lie to a doctor who knows how to read qi. Your eyes are unfocused, your steps are unsteady, and there is an imbalance of yin and yang in your body, which is a sign of insufficient kidney water."
Ye Xingchen laughed and said, "You must have quite a few girlfriends, right? You'll probably have several women sharing the same bed at night. Can you handle it without taking those sea dog pills?"
"You're talking nonsense! If you dare to spout any more rubbish, I'll slap you across the face!" Tang Jin was getting anxious. He felt that he had absolutely no secrets from Ye Xingchen.
Yuan Zhengde, without saying a word, reached out and took Tang Jin's hand, placing it on his pulse.
Who was Yuan Zhengde? He was an academician of the Imperial Medical Academy, whose medical skills were unpredictable and astounding; he immediately saw through Tang Jin's problem.
He looked at Tang Jin strangely: "He's right. Your body's yin and yang energies are out of balance, mainly due to insufficient kidney water. You've been indulging in excessive sexual activity, haven't you?"
"Moreover, judging from the pulse, the kidney qi is insufficient but excessive, which is caused by taking some tonifying drugs."
"Elder Yuan, I..." Tang Jin wanted to die, but his words were mercilessly exposed, and he wished he could disappear into a crack in the ground.
"Don't deny it in front of a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, because your pulse is like the rings of a tree. A skilled traditional Chinese medicine practitioner can tell what diseases you have had and whether you have had surgery just by looking at your pulse."
Yuan Zhengde said, "Especially those masters who can observe qi, they don't even need to take your pulse, they can understand your physical condition with just one look."
Tang Jin was speechless. He could only shrink to the side silently, not daring to utter another sound.
"You have too many needs for the opposite sex, that's a problem, you need to get it treated. Go see an endocrinologist, otherwise your kidneys will fail sooner or later," Ye Xingchen warned him.
"Is this an illness?" Tang Jin was stunned, but thinking about how he was always unbearably thirsty at night, it didn't seem impossible.
“It is indeed an illness. I’ll prescribe a medicine for you to take good care of yourself later.” Yuan Zhengde said with a smile, “Now you can rest assured and let Mr. Ye take a good look at your grandfather, right?”
Tang Jin shrank back and remained silent, tacitly agreeing.
"The reason why Mr. Tang's illness cannot be cured is still due to the cause of the illness," Ye Xingchen said. "The illness is not a serious one, but the blood and qi are stagnant in the chest, which damages the lungs and internal organs. If the blood stasis is not removed, it will eventually lead to pulmonary edema in the abdomen, affecting the five internal organs."
“I understand the principle, but the problem is how to remove it? Old Tang was injured by a special hidden weapon that struck his lungs, and the residual poison cannot be removed now.” Yuan Zhengde sighed slightly.
"The most troublesome poison in the world is the Silk Poison of the Yinshan Xuanmen," Ye Xingchen said. "The poisonous gas transforms into something as fine as spider silk, which lies in the lungs like fibers."
Ye Xingchen said, "This technique is the Yinshan Thousand Silk Poison. If I'm not mistaken, Elder Tang and the Three Heroes of Yinshan must have had a grudge, right?"
Ye Xingchen did not know the Three Heroes of Yinshan, but An Zhiguo's nephew Zhou Jin was a disciple of the Three Heroes of Yinshan, and Ye Xingchen had witnessed the other party's profound arts.
"It's a grudge from decades ago. The Three Heroes of Yinshan have an unusual relationship with the Zhou family, a family of metaphysical masters. The Zhou family attempted to change the fate of the Zhou clan by stealing the spiritual vein."
Old Tang said, "Later, I discovered this and invited experts from Xuan Yu Pavilion to drive the Zhou family out of Yanjing. As a result, I also incurred the hatred of the Zhou family. They asked experts from the Yinshan lineage to assassinate me, but they failed. However, I was left with this ailment."
"I see." Ye Xingchen nodded slowly: "This kind of poison is fatal. It seems that Doctor Yuan has been keeping you alive for more than ten years."
"Yes, if it weren't for Brother Yuan, I'm afraid I would have been buried long ago," Old Tang said with a smile.
"Mr. Ye's medical skills are indeed well-deserved. He understands the method of observing qi and saw the key point at a glance." Yuan Zhengde truly admired him from the bottom of his heart.
He clasped his hands and bowed deeply to Ye Xingchen: "I wonder if Mr. Ye has a way to deal with such viciousness?"
“Yes, acupuncture can expel the poison, and the Detoxifying and Strengthening Decoction can be used as an adjunct. This poison can be completely eliminated.” Ye Xingchen said, “However, the poison has been lingering in Old Master Tang’s lungs for many years, and multiple acupuncture sessions will be needed to completely remove it.”
"Then I'll have to trouble you, sir." Old Tang said with a smile, "The Tang family owes you a favor."
"It's nothing, Mr. Tang, you're too kind." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly and began to perform acupuncture.
Ye Xingchen, whose strength had already reached the Heavenly Realm, naturally didn't need to follow the needlework methodically.
He spread out the needle bag, then with a wave of his right hand, dozens of gold needles transformed into a stream of light and automatically pierced into Tang Lao's various acupoints.
The intense heat immediately hit him, and sweat poured down Old Tang's forehead, his body trembling uncontrollably.
"What kind of needling technique is this?" Yuan Zhengde was dumbfounded. He had never seen such a needling technique before.
With a wave of the hand, all the needles fly up and pierce the acupoints on their own? And to manipulate dozens of needles at the same time—is that something a human can do?
"This is not acupuncture, but true qi cultivated through practice." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly: "Elder Yuan, there's no need to be surprised. It's just some minor techniques."
Indeed, for Ye Xingchen, these techniques were nothing more than minor tricks.
Having cultivated to a certain level, especially since he had reached the Celestial Phenomenon stage and surpassed even top-tier experts, this kind of technique was child's play for Ye Xingchen.
However, these things were already beyond Yuan Zhengde's reach.
"I am ashamed of myself." Yuan Zhengde clasped his fists, expressing his sincere admiration.
"How are you feeling, Mr. Tang?" Ye Xingchen asked.
"It's hot. It feels like my body is being roasted by fire," Old Tang replied.
“That’s right. The poison is cold in nature, and I can only expel it with my yang energy.” Ye Xingchen said, “Old Tang, just bear with it, it will be over soon.”
