Tianyi Nine Needles!
"Elder Huang, what are the Tianyi Nine Needles?" a TCM doctor asked, confused. Although he studied traditional Chinese medicine, he only knew a little.
The old TCM doctor, known as Elder Huang, was incredibly shocked and said, "The Tianyi Nine Needles, also known as the Heaven-Defying Nine Needles, can determine life and death!"
This simple statement sent a jolt of disbelief through the other TCM doctors.
It was said that Chinese medicine was vast and profound, yet even after many years of study, most TCM practitioners only grasped the surface. This was why more and more young people preferred to learn Western medicine.
And then there was Li Se. At such a young age, he already possessed such medical skills, making it not an exaggeration to call him a master of Chinese medicine.
After his public apology, Charles also came to the vicinity of the ward. He observed from the sidelines. No matter how nicely he spoke or how highly he praised Chinese medicine in public, it wasn't out of genuine willingness. Moreover, after this public apology, he would face immense public pressure.
Most importantly, there was his former employer, the Medical Association. When he was abroad, he represented the prestige of the Medical Association. Now, for him to publicly apologize to Chinese medicine meant that the Medical Association was bowing to Chinese medicine.
All of this was entirely due to Li Se.
Charles harbored immense hatred for Li Se, gritting his teeth and saying, "I don't believe it. A few silver needles can cure illness. If he can't cure it, he'll pay the price!"
The Tianyi Nine Needles were passed down from the ancestors. For ordinary ailments, this set of acupuncture techniques was not needed. However, the infant's body was too weak. Although Li Se's silver needles were controlling the situation, it was still an infant. If delayed any further, the outcome would almost certainly be death.
It was precisely because it was an infant that the hospital was helpless.
After performing the Tianyi Nine Needles, Li Se's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his face was slightly pale. With his current strength, performing this acupuncture technique was still somewhat strenuous.
The nine needles were placed on the infant's body. Upon closer inspection, they resembled a taijitu, separating both life and death, as well as yin and yang. This was the essence of the nine needles.
Half an hour later, Li Se withdrew the needles and let out a long sigh. He turned to Shen Long behind him and said, "It's cured. I will also prescribe a course of medicine, and after taking it for half a month, the patient will be fully recovered."
Shen Long and his wife quickly stepped forward. Seeing that their child's complexion had returned to normal and even managed a smile, the couple's eyes welled up with tears. The tense days of worry were finally over.
"A divine doctor, truly a divine doctor!" Elder Huang sighed, admitting his inferiority. "I have studied Chinese medicine for decades, and everyone calls me a master of Chinese medicine, but now, in my eyes, you are the one who deserves the title of master of Chinese medicine!"
Numerous doctors were stunned. Although the hospital primarily focused on Western medicine, Elder Huang's medical skills were undeniable. He was an authority in Chinese medicine, and now he was praising Li Se so highly, which was enough to show that Li Se's medical skills were not inferior to Elder Huang's, and perhaps even surpassed them.
"Divine Doctor Li, thank you. I, Shen Long, will never forget this kindness!" Shen Long said solemnly.
Li Se nodded, "Mr. Shen, you won't forget our agreement, will you?"
"Oh, Divine Doctor Li, what agreement is there?" a hoarse voice inquired.
"Oh my, it's Elder Wei!"
"Elder Wei is actually here."
"It seems he knows this young divine doctor."
"..."
Many people began to chatter.
Upon seeing Elder Wei arrive, Shen Long immediately bowed respectfully, "Elder Wei, I didn't expect you to be here as well."
Wei San smiled and said, "Heh heh, I heard Divine Doctor Li was going to perform acupuncture, so I came to join the fun."
"Elder Wei." Li Se naturally treated Wei San with utmost respect.
"Tell me, what requirements did you make of Shen Long?" Wei San asked with a smile.
Li Se knew Wei San's intention. He had already finished the acupuncture. If Shen Long went back on his word, Li Se would truly have no recourse. Wei San's purpose was to ensure Shen Long couldn't renege. Although Li Se didn't think Shen Long would, he still said, "There were three requirements in total. Mr. Shen has already fulfilled the first two. The last one is that half of Shen's Group's annual profits will be used for charity!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire ward felt as if a bombshell had been dropped.
Shen Long, as the richest man in Qingyun City, and Shen's Group being the number one enterprise in Qingyun City, their annual profits were at least in the hundreds of millions. Dedicating half of the annual profits to charity was truly a grand gesture.
"Good!" Wei San looked at Li Se with admiration and couldn't help but applaud. "Truly, a doctor with a benevolent heart!"
Clap, clap, clap!
Wei San's applause was enthusiastic.
The people around them quickly reacted and began to applaud as well. At this moment, many people were filled with admiration for Li Se.
After all, if Li Se had asked for half of Shen Long's annual profits, that money would have gone directly to him. At the very least, asking for a hundred million wouldn't have been an issue.
But Li Se took no money for himself, instead asking Shen Long to donate it to charity, which clearly demonstrated his magnanimity.
"Not arrogant, not swayed by wealth. Such young people are truly rare," Elder Huang couldn't help but sigh at this moment.
Behind them, Charles felt as disgusted as if he had swallowed a fly. He had never expected Li Se to actually be able to cure the child. His face was very unpleasant. Just then, his phone rang. He picked it up and saw it was a call from the Medical Association.
What was bound to come would eventually come.
"Oh my, indeed a doctor with a benevolent heart," Wang Xiang fawned, "But if you ask me, Mr. Shen is the truly generous one. Donating half of his annual profits to charity—that's a true entrepreneur!"
Several doctors looked at Wang Xiang with disdain. He was truly a sycophant. Originally, everyone thought this was Li Se's achievement, but after Wang Xiang's words, half of the credit should have gone to Shen Long, as he was the one paying.
Li Se, however, looked coldly at Wang Xiang and said, "I hope Director Wang also remembers the meaning of those four words, 'a doctor with a benevolent heart,' and doesn't just say them."
Wang Xiang's expression changed slightly, a hint of resentment in his eyes.
Shen Long completely ignored Wang Xiang. He knew the purpose of Wei San's visit and smiled somewhat helplessly. "Elder Wei, I am, after all, the richest man in Qingyun City. I will not go back on the promises I've made. I will have the company establish a charity foundation, and then half of our company's annual profits will be placed into this foundation to help those in need."
"That would be best," Wei San smiled and said no more. He chatted with Li Se for a bit and then turned to leave.
Wei Xueru gave Li Se a thumbs-up, stuck out her cute tongue, and left with him.
"Divine Doctor Li." Shen Long then took out a black card, which even had gold plating. He handed it to Li Se and said, "This is our company's black gold card. With this black gold card, you are the most honored customer of my company. All your consumption at our company's establishments will be free!"
Li Se hesitated for a moment, but he still accepted the black gold card. He realized that being a doctor could be incredibly lucrative. Half of Shen's Group's profits, plus the previous ten million consultation fee, were astronomical figures, yet for him, they were easily attainable.
Without further ado, Li Se left the ward. However, at that moment, an old man stood before him.
This old man was, of course, Elder Huang. He grabbed Li Se's hand and asked with some excitement, "Young divine doctor, where did you learn the Tianyi Nine Needles?"
