Urban Invincible Medical Divine

Chapter 399: Chapter 280 What’s Going On

Everyone was mocking and ridiculing Liu Wentian. Liu Wentian looked at these people without anger, only feeling somewhat disappointed.

Zhao Zhengren’s problem was not that he discussed “Treatise on Cold Damage,” but that he simply copied “Treatise on Cold Damage” without incorporating his own insights and thoughts. In the end, it was all about a repackaging; any discerning person could hear that.

Even if the works of the ancients were good, they belonged to the ancients and needed to be advanced with the times, not simply replicated blindly.

Yet, those so-called celebrities in the field of traditional Chinese medicine present there all had the same demeanor; no wonder traditional Chinese medicine was declining.

Liu Wentian shook his head and said no more.

Seeing this, Xie Zhengren grew even more annoyed. However, to him, Liu Wentian was just a naive young man; he was too lazy to fuss over it.

Ultimately, he snorted coldly and continued his lecture.

However, at this point, the looks people gave Liu Wentian began to turn unfriendly.

After the speeches, the second segment followed.

This segment involved bringing in some patients for the renowned doctors present to diagnose. While treating the patients, they also provided explanations to the audience, which was much more effective than mere lecturing.

First, a chubby middle-aged man stepped onto the stage. An elderly physician took his pulse and diagnosed him with fatty liver. After prescribing the medicine, he explained the symptoms and how the medicine should be applied.

Then, a youth came onto the stage, and another elderly physician diagnosed him.

Most of these patients were from wealthy backgrounds; otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to enter here and have the chance to be examined by such esteemed experts.

They usually took great care of their health, suffering mostly from minor ailments.

When it was Xie Zhengren’s turn, the patient was a scholarly middle-aged man with purple skin and glasses. After taking his pulse and asking about some symptoms, Xie Zhengren smiled and said,

“It’s nothing serious, just stress and frequent late nights causing ‘internal heat.’ I’ll prescribe you some heat-clearing, cooling medicine. You’ll be well soon.”

The middle-aged man immediately thanked him, and Xie Zhengren, smiling, waved his hand, just about to write the prescription, when he thought of something. The corners of his mouth curled up as he looked at Liu Wentian in the audience and said,

“Young man, since you so disagreed with my lecture just now, it seems your medical skills must be quite good. I’ve already explained the symptoms of this patient. All that’s left is to write the prescription. Why don’t you prescribe for this gentleman?”

As Xie Zhengren spoke, there was a chill in his eyes. Liu Wentian’s earlier comments were a slap in his face. Being a long-established figure, getting slapped by a young upstart was infuriating to him.

So, he couldn’t help but want to embarrass Liu Wentian and simultaneously boost his own son, to help him ‘win the girl.’

This heat-clearing, cooling medicine was not difficult to prescribe, but getting it exactly right was not easy. Liu Wentian said his medical skills were self-taught, and in Xie Zhengren’s view, that meant his skills must be very poor. The prescription he would write couldn’t be good!

Hearing this, Xie Wenlong’s eyes brightened, understanding his father’s intent. He immediately turned to Liu Wentian with a smile, saying, “Right, Liu Wentian, didn’t you say you’re very skilled in medicine? Well then, why don’t you give it a try?”

Others too, because of the earlier incident, looked somewhat displeased at Liu Wentian, feeling he was young and did not respect the rules.

At this moment, some began to sneer.

“That’s right, young man, why don’t you give it a try?”

“Yes, yes, it’s just a prescription for cooling down ‘internal heat,’ which is very simple. If you can’t even prescribe that, then you should just keep quiet in the future! But this heat-clearing prescription also has its intricacies, depending on each patient’s body condition, the prescription can vary, I hope you understand that!!”

“You’re not old, but earlier you sure talked big. Since that’s the case, let us all see what you can do, and don’t fail at even this simplest of prescriptions!!”

“…”

Liu Wentian observed the patient for a moment, his smile carrying a hint of amusement, and shrugged. Without delay, he walked onto the stage.

The middle-aged man on stage hadn’t expected this turn of events. Seeing a young man in his twenties coming up to prescribe for him and hearing that his medical skills might not be good, he was somewhat displeased, but after all, it was just a minor issue of ‘internal heat.’ Ultimately, he still smiled and asked, “Doctor, do you need to take my pulse?”

Liu Wentian shook his head and said, “No need.”

“Then please prescribe some cooling, heat-lowering medicine for me.” The middle-aged man nodded, saying, though his eyes still held some skepticism.

“You don’t need any cooling, heat-lowering medicine. That would only make your condition worse,” said Liu Wentian calmly.

At these words, Xie Zhengren’s expression changed, and he said angrily, “What do you mean? Are you saying I got it wrong?”

The rest of the audience now looked at Liu Wentian with a mocking expression. They knew Xie Zhengren was trained by a famed master and had himself been famous for a long time. It was such a simple diagnosis, and yet Liu Wentian was saying he got it wrong; this was simply ridiculous!

At this moment, Sheng Qianmei was also somewhat puzzled. She knew that Liu Wentian’s medical skills were exceptional, even magical, but to say that Xie Zhengren, a famous physician and the vice president of Provincial First People’s Hospital, had misunderstood something as basic as ‘internal heat’ was very strange.

Liu Wentian still appeared composed as he said, “You did indeed get it wrong. He isn’t suffering from ‘internal heat.’ Instead, it’s a case of excessive yang and deficient yin. If you prescribe cooling, heat-lowering medicine, the stronger the effect of the medicine, the more serious his subsequent symptoms will become. A minor illness could turn into a severe one.”
