SRGA 39: Master-level Ancient Medical Arts
The other two children, one of whom had a problem with his leg, said, "Big Brother Lin Tian, can you help Zhao Dong? Please, we beg you."
"Is he Zhao Dong?"
Lin Tian pointed to the somewhat dull-looking child.
"Yes, he's Zhao Dong. He's seen several doctors but hasn't gotten better. He's our brother, and we don't want him to be like this."
Lin Tian shook his head slightly. "His problem is likely related to the brain, and with my current abilities, I'm afraid I can't treat him."
The brain is very complex, and if I were to use my inner energy, one wrong move could cause irreversible damage, possibly making things worse.
"Is that so?"
The child spoke with a disappointed look in his eyes.
"What's your name? Let me take a look first. When my medical skills improve, I'll treat him later, which will be much safer."
Lin Tian asked as he gently touched the child's head.
"Big Brother Lin Tian, my name is Jiang Long. We don't know who our parents are; our names were given by the director."
Jiang Long said as he lowered his head to look at his left leg.
His left leg was only two-thirds the size of his right leg.
Lin Tian sighed inwardly. They were probably abandoned due to congenital diseases, and their parents had no intention of keeping them.
"Come on, put your leg up here, and I'll take a look."
Jiang Long obediently placed his leg on the stone stool.
Lin Tian found the acupuncture point and quietly infused his inner energy into Jiang Long's leg.
After five minutes, Lin Tian figured out the problem.
Jiang Long's problem was somewhat similar to Xu Hu's, but his was more severe. At least Xu Hu had two arms of equal size.
"Jiang Long, I can solve your problem."
"But it can't be solved in one go. It may take three or four times to solve it. After I give you a massage treatment, you need to try to move as much as possible."
Lin Tian smiled.
Jiang Long nodded excitedly. "Big Brother Lin Tian, I'll listen to you."
"Okay, let's start the massage treatment. It may be more painful than Xu Hu's just now. Can you bear it?"
Jiang Long gritted his teeth. "Big Brother Lin Tian, don't worry, I can bear it. Once I and Xu Hu recover, we can help Zhao Dong."
"We are sworn brothers."
Lin Tian chuckled. They even played the Peach Garden Oath?
"Then let's begin."
Lin Tian massaged his acupoints while infusing inner energy to help clear his meridians. His meridians were severely blocked.
If the situation continued to deteriorate, his leg would need to be amputated.
"Children, let's end the class here."
After an hour, Luo Bingning stood up and smiled.
"Thank you, Teacher Luo."
More than a hundred children under ten years old said simultaneously.
Luo Bingning left the classroom, and not long after, she spotted Lin Tian's figure and walked towards them with curiosity.
"Teacher Luo, Big Brother Lin Tian is treating Jiang Long, so please don't disturb."
Xu Hu stood up and walked towards Luo Bingning.
Luo Bingning said, "Xu Hu, Lin Tian isn't treating him; he's probably just giving Jiang Long a massage, which will also be comforting."
"No, Teacher Luo, he's treating him."
"See for yourself."
Xu Hu said as he forcefully lifted his left hand.
Luo Bingning looked at Xu Hu in amazement.
She knew about Xu Hu's condition.
Since childhood, Xu Hu couldn't lift his left hand, and she even paid for him to see doctors in the capital, but no hospital could help.
Everything checked out normal.
"Xu Hu, what's going on?"
Luo Bingning asked quickly.
Xu Hu looked back at Lin Tian and said, "Big Brother Lin Tian treated me, and he said he could also heal Jiang Long's leg."
Luo Bingning looked at Lin Tian in disbelief.
Even Jiang Long had been to more than one top-tier hospital, and his leg problem was more severe. Reputable doctors had suggested amputation.
"Hmm."
Lin Tian breathed a sigh of relief.
He stopped the treatment for now.
His inner energy could withstand it, but Jiang Long's problem was quite serious. It had to be done step by step, as his meridians couldn't handle much more.
"Lin Tian, what's going on?"
Luo Bingning approached, surprised.
Lin Tian smiled, "I know a bit about traditional Chinese massage techniques. Xu Hu and Jiang Long's problems, I happen to be able to solve."
Luo Bingning said, "…"
Lin Tian's explanation was hard to believe.
But Xu Hu's hand really did lift, and Lin Tian only gave him a massage.
"Jiang Long, try walking and see if your leg feels more sensation?"
Lin Tian smiled.
Jiang Long slowly walked with the help of crutches, and soon his eyes lit up with excitement as he felt some sensation in his leg.
"It's better, it's better."
Jiang Long said excitedly.
Lin Tian said, "Keep practicing regularly. Come back next week, and after three or four consecutive treatments, you shouldn't need crutches anymore."
"Big Brother Lin Tian, thank you, thank you."
Jiang Long bowed gratefully, leaning on his crutches.
Luo Bingning asked, "Lin Tian, what about Zhao Dong?"
Lin Tian helplessly said, "His condition is likely related to the brain, and my limited medical skills can't help for now."
Zhao Dong didn't even dare to get checked, let alone talk about treatment.
"You're not limited in medical skills."
"They've been to more than five top-tier hospitals, and more than ten renowned doctors have seen them, but none could help."
Luo Bingning remembered when Lin Tian checked her pulse before.
It seemed like Lin Tian really knew what he was doing.
Was he just trying to take advantage when he said he wanted to check her abdomen earlier?
"Hmm?"
Lin Tian saw a silver treasure chest slowly appearing above Luo Bingning's head.
"I'm going, a silver treasure chest."
"Except for the first one, silver treasure chests haven't appeared before. To get one from this trip is a big gain."
Lin Tian was excited.
He stood up and stretched, accidentally touching the silver treasure chest above Luo Bingning's head, and it disappeared.
"Ding, silver treasure chest opened."
"Congratulations, host, for obtaining Master-level Ancient Medical Arts."
The system's voice sounded in Lin Tian's mind.
A large amount of information quickly flooded Lin Tian's mind.
Lin Tian furrowed his brows.
He could handle the rapid influx of information, but with so much coming in, he still felt dizzy.
"Lin Tian, are you okay?"
Luo Bingning noticed that Lin Tian's expression was a bit off.
Lin Tian sat down. "My legs fell asleep from squatting too long. I'll sit and rest for a bit. Teacher Luo, your singing is really nice."
Luo Bingning blushed slightly.
"I'm not a professional.
As long as the children enjoy it. Are you really okay? I have to go teach the older children now."
Lin Tian shook his head. "What could happen to me?"
Soon after, Luo Bingning went to teach her class, and Jiang Long and the others left as well. Fifteen minutes later, Lin Tian completed the Master-level Ancient Medical Arts.
Master-level Ancient Medical Arts include acupuncture, moxibustion, herbal medicine, massage, guidance, and even mysterious ancient witchcraft.
"Such complex ancient medical arts."
"The wisdom of the ancients is not to be underestimated."
Lin Tian murmured to himself.
Master-level Ancient Medical Arts are much more complicated than Master-level Ancient Qin, and their level is comparable to Master-level martial arts, obtained from a silver treasure chest.
"Little Lin."
Hu Guifang quickly approached.
"Director."
Lin Tian stood up.
Hu Guifang looked excited. "Little Lin, I just received news that you cured Xu Hu. Can you also cure Jiang Long?"
Lin Tian nodded. "Director, I know a little about ancient medical arts."
Earlier, Lin Tian said he knew medical arts, but he wasn't confident.
He mainly relied on inner energy to solve problems.
Now he was confident because he possessed Master-level Ancient Medical Arts!
