Wu Tian's lips curled slightly, and a deep light flowed from his eyes, as if he could glimpse the subtle mysteries of all things in the world.
His tone was gentle, yet contained an undeniable firmness: "Sir, you have dedicated decades to the field of traditional Chinese medicine, how could you have such a question? Besides, you have already explained the treatment method, so why do you need to beat around the bush and test me?"
Upon hearing this, everyone present was shocked, exchanging bewildered glances, astonished by the boldness and subtlety of Wu Tian's words.
He seemed to answer Liu Erhe's question, but it was as if he hadn't said anything at all.
Unable to contain her anger, Liu Caidie snapped, "If you don't know, just say so! Why pretend to be profound and make yourself a laughingstock!"
Liu Erhe smiled knowingly and frankly told him, "I am ashamed to admit that I really do not know any treatment for this disease."
Wu Tian sighed softly, his helplessness evident in his words: "The decline of traditional Chinese medicine is not unfounded. The old gentleman is too bound by the books and has not grasped the way of applying knowledge in practice..."
Before he could finish speaking, Liu Caidie retorted coldly, "What makes you think you have the right to make such a fuss about my grandfather?"
Wu Tian smiled faintly and retorted sharply: "As Mr. Liu just said, 'In traditional Chinese medicine, no matter what kind of disease it is, it is a manifestation of an imbalance in the body's internal environment. We need to use the four diagnostic methods of observation, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation to find the root cause, and then use various methods such as medicine, acupuncture, and massage to harmonize yin and yang and restore the body's natural harmony.' This is the fundamental method of treatment in traditional Chinese medicine, and it is also the essence of traditional Chinese medicine. Do I need to elaborate?"
His words were forceful and his eyes shone with an undeniable light.
Facing Wu Tian's penetrating gaze, Liu Erhe frowned, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
He was well-versed in the principles of traditional Chinese medicine, including observation, listening, questioning, and palpation, and had countless treatment methods. However, he never expected that the most basic principles would be used by Wu Tian to brush him off.
He had always doubted Wu Tian's strength. His politeness was merely a matter of etiquette based on his seniority, and he had never truly recognized Wu Tian's profound abilities.
Faced with Wu Tian's ambiguous response, he decided to stop fabricating false glory for him and vowed to unveil his true face in front of everyone.
He took a deep breath, his words sharp and assertive: "As a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine, I know that treatment methods include medication, acupuncture, and massage. May I ask, Brother Wu Tian, what specific medications, acupuncture techniques, and massage methods are needed?"
Liu Erhe's words were like a cold winter wind, instantly dispelling the warmth in the room and drawing everyone's attention back to Wu Tian, eager to see how he would respond to this sharp question.
A calm smile appeared on Wu Tian's lips, a smile that showed not only composure in the face of challenges, but also a profound understanding and reverence for the wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine.
He slowly turned around, his gaze shifting between Liu Erhe and Liu Caidie, finally settling on Liu Erhe's inquisitive eyes, and slowly said, "What the old gentleman said is absolutely right. Traditional Chinese medicine is profound and extensive. Treatment methods do indeed involve medicine, acupuncture, and massage, but the specific treatment methods vary from person to person and from disease to disease. How can we generalize?"
After speaking, he paused briefly, as if inviting everyone to immerse themselves in the profound thoughts of traditional Chinese medicine, and then continued: "For example, if cold invades the body, it is advisable to burn a mountain fire to warm the yang and dispel the cold; if the fire becomes excessive and causes illness, it is necessary to let the air cool to clear the heat and reduce the fire."
Upon hearing this, Liu Erhe was eager to retort: "The techniques of burning mountains and cooling the sky have been lost to the world. Brother Wu Tian, isn't what you're saying just baseless?"
"Lost in the past?" Wu Tian replied calmly, his gaze towards Liu Erhe deep: "Perhaps it has been lost to you, but it has never been lost. Even if you don't know these two acupuncture techniques, you can still refine the Five Elements Harmony Pill and adjust the dosage of the five elements herbs according to the cause of the illness for treatment."
Wu Tian’s words were full of confidence and composure, showcasing the complexity and flexibility of traditional Chinese medicine treatment from a broader perspective and with profound insights.
His words were as mysterious and unpredictable as an ancient scroll or celestial book, making those present feel as if they were in a world shrouded in mist.
Few people can recall the terms "burning mountain fire" and "cooling the sky" from ancient books, but the phrase "Five Elements Harmony Elixir" sounds like a voice from another world, completely unheard of.
Although a faint worry still lingered between Liu Erhe's brows, he had no intention of letting this strange conversation become an embarrassing stage for Wu Tian.
He couldn't help but admire this young talent. Despite his young age, his understanding of traditional Chinese medicine was already profound and not to be underestimated.
His words were a mix of truth and falsehood, like flowers in the mist or the moon's reflection in the water—elusive yet subtly revealing Wu Tian's profound knowledge and extraordinary talent, forcing one to re-evaluate this young man.
As a result, Liu Erhe's brows gradually relaxed, and his eyes shone with wisdom and hope. He laughed heartily, as if the fog in his heart had been cleared away: "Young friend's insightful remarks are truly enlightening, like a sudden awakening. It seems that the future of traditional Chinese medicine is promising and full of hope!"
Upon hearing this, the gazes of the crowd towards Wu Tian instantly shifted from mockery and disdain to greater respect and curiosity.
However, Liu Caidie, who was standing to the side, held a different view. She believed that this was just Liu Erhe's kindness and consideration for his junior, and that he did not want to embarrass him in front of others.
After all, how could a seemingly inexperienced young man easily claim victory when faced with the long-standing medical challenge of cancer?
In Liu Caidie's mind, Wu Tian was nothing more than a charlatan who was all show and no substance, full of empty boasts but no real skills.
Liu Caidie's anger, like fine rain, fell silently into her heart, yet stirred up ripples.
She gently bit her lower lip, her eyes filled with both incomprehension at her grandfather's decision to let Wu Tian go and doubt about Wu Tian's abilities.
It was her doubts that led her to decide to personally expose Wu Tian's disguise.
“Grandpa, you often say that practice is the sole criterion for testing truth.” Liu Caidie’s voice was clear and firm, and her gaze was fixed on Wu Tian. “Since Mr. Wu has such unique insights into traditional Chinese medicine, why not let everyone witness it? For example, select a patient and let him demonstrate his medical skills to see if he can really achieve the five elements and bring the dead back to life as he says.”
Upon hearing this, the room fell silent, and all eyes turned to Wu Tian, awaiting his response.
Wu Tian smiled slightly, a smile that showed both confidence and humility. He did not immediately agree, but slowly said, "The way of medicine is not about showing off or proving, but since Miss Liu has made this suggestion, I am willing to give it a try. Today we are all here to treat Miss Jin Lingyun, so why don't we treat her together? This way we can not only treat Jin Lingyun, but also save time."
