Chapter 407: Chapter 282: Who is that person_2

“Elder Gu, who exactly is this Elder Jiang?” Liu Wentian couldn’t help but ask.

Elder Gu, with a mysterious look, replied, “This concerns a national secret. I really can’t tell you. However, if you can cure Elder Jiang, I wouldn’t mind discussing it with you.”

“A national secret? That expansive?” Liu Wentian said, astonished.

Elder Gu nodded solemnly and said, “Yes, if something truly happens to Elder Jiang, it would be a tremendous loss for Huaxia and it would lead to much unrest!”

Upon hearing this, Liu Wentian’s expression grew stern; it seemed that Elder Jiang was indeed a very important figure!

Soon, Elder Gu led Liu Wentian to the second floor. The moment they reached the second floor, Liu Wentian felt a slight change in his expression as he sensed several Taoist Breaths targeting him!

These breaths even brought him a sense of threat, clearly from formidable individuals!

It must be understood that Liu Wentian was now a King Martial expert, and to bring him even a hint of threat, the individuals must at least be on the Half-Step King Martial!

How could so many experts be protecting this Elder Jiang? Who exactly was he?

Liu Wentian grew even more curious.

Quickly thereafter, Elder Gu led Liu Wentian into a room where a man dressed in a purple gown was sitting by the bed, looking through some documents with his brows furrowed.

An elderly man lay on the bed, appearing somewhat benign, no different from ordinary elders, with entirely white hair, looking emaciated, as though he could die at any moment.

However, when his lifeless gaze fell on Liu Wentian, an unprecedented sense of crisis enveloped Liu Wentian, causing his face to drastically change in an instant!

Such an intense feeling of threat was something he had never encountered before!

The doctor in purple saw Elder Gu leading a young man in and asked in very fluent Mandarin, puzzled, “Elder Gu, who is this young man? A new caretaker?”

Elder Gu shook his head and smiled, saying, “Doctor Albert, this is Liu Wentian. Like me, he is a practitioner of traditional medicine. I plan to have him take a look at Elder Jiang as well.”

“Liu Wentian, this is Doctor Albert, an authority in Western medicine, who has won several international awards in genetic engineering. He was specially invited by the government to treat Elder Jiang,” Elder Gu then briefly introduced the other party to Liu Wentian.

“What? He’s the doctor you invited? And a practitioner of traditional medicine?”

Albert’s expression turned sour, and without even bothering to glance at Liu Wentian, he said discontentedly to Elder Gu, “Elder Gu, are you joking with Elder Jiang’s life by bringing such a young person here? How old is he? He probably hasn’t even graduated from school yet, right? You’d better send him away quickly!”

The treatment was already going somewhat unsuccessfully, making Albert very irritable. The fact that Elder Gu had brought a young man over only added to his irritation, and if it weren’t for Elder Gu’s high reputation, he would have openly lashed out!

Elder Gu hadn’t expected such a strong reaction, and he explained with a bitter smile, “Albert, though Liu Wentian is young, his medical skill is quite astounding, which is why I planned to let him have a try. Just let him take a look, maybe he can do something?”

Albert shook his head firmly and said, “No need! Currently, I am the chief physician in treating Elder Jiang. He has already taken our newly developed Life Elixir, which is showing some effects. Elder Gu, you really shouldn’t worry anymore.”

At this, he added, “Elder Gu, it’s not that I have a poor opinion of traditional medicine, but precisely because your previous treatments had no effect, the Huaxia government invited me here. From now on, just leave it to me and my assistants, and please take this young traditional doctor back with you.”

Upon hearing this, Elder Gu’s face grew somewhat embarrassed.

He had indeed treated Elder Jiang before, but it had been unsuccessful, and that was exactly why the authorities had brought Albert in, which was akin to a slap in his face.

At the same time, it was a derision of traditional medicine, suggesting that it was now their turn to handle it.

Liu Wentian, standing nearby, was originally squinting his eyes, sizing up the elderly man lying on the bed.

Upon hearing Albert’s words, Liu Wentian’s eyebrows twitched as he looked towards him and said, “Life Elixir?? What is that? Is it like something out of a sci-fi movie that can turn people into superheroes??”

Liu Wentian was indeed curious in his heart. Could it be that current technology had advanced to such a level that it could actually use some potion to turn people into superheroes??

When Albert heard Liu Wentian’s question, he frowned slightly. Even those doctoral students in their thirties at the medical school had always treated him with great respect, but this young man in his twenties spoke to him so casually, which really displeased him!!

Seeing Liu Wentian looking at him curiously, he coldly said, “What joke are you making? There’s nothing in this world that can turn people into superheroes! However, the Life Elixir, although not that miraculous, can stimulate human potential and make one’s body stronger. Elder Jiang is extremely weak right now, making him most suited for our medicine.”

With some pride, he continued, “Our new type of Life Elixir is a product of particle analysis and combination of Chinese medicinal materials, extracting the essence of ginseng, He Shou Wu, and Lingfang and combining them. In this manner, it is hundreds of times stronger than decocting a medicinal soup! Elder Gu had previously prescribed some tonics for Elder Jiang that also used these materials. However, our Life Elixir is definitely far more powerful than his medicinal soup, and on top of that, we are using genetic and micro-particle technologies to ensure this powerful medicine is fully absorbed by the body without causing any harm!! After taking our medicine, Elder Jiang’s condition has already improved compared to a few days ago!!”

To be honest, although Albert didn’t completely dismiss traditional Chinese medicine like many foreigners and think of it as trash, he still held some disdain for it in his heart.

It’s already the twenty-first century. Western medicine has started to explore human genetics, yet Chinese medicine still clings to those thousands of years old methods of diagnosis by inspection, auscultation, interrogation, and pulse feeling, as well as decocting medicine, which he thought really should be phased out!!

Just like now, using the same materials, the effects of his Life Elixir were obviously much better than those of the traditional Chinese medicine decocted by Elder Gu!!

Upon hearing these words, Elder Gu’s expression turned somewhat ugly. The other party’s words were blatantly saying that he was inferior, and even suggesting that Chinese medicine was inferior to those advanced technologies!!

But the other party didn’t explicitly state this. He only mentioned that the effects of his own prescribed medicinal soup were inferior to the Life Elixir, a fact that was evident, leaving him no room to refute.

Liu Wentian once again scrutinized the elderly man lying on the bed, but his face revealed a mocking smile as he said, “Dr. Albert, do you really think your Life Elixir has worked, and worked well?”

Albert’s face darkened, this whippersnapper dared to question him, but at the same time, he was somewhat surprised. Could it be that the other party had noticed something??

Because today he had suddenly realized that Elder Jiang’s condition seemed to have worsened, which baffled him.

However, this thought was immediately suppressed as soon as it arose. He had observed the situation based on those medical reports. How could this newcomer understand anything!

He angrily said, “What do you mean by that?? Whether it’s effective or not, what do you know!! I am Elder Jiang’s attending doctor; I have the authority to ask you to leave right now!!”

“Elder Gu, did you notice something??” Elder Gu quickly asked, sensing something was up.

Liu Wentian didn’t respond, walked to the bedside, and asked the old man, “Old man, may I take your pulse?”

The eyes of Elder Jiang, which didn’t have much vitality, had been watching Liu Wentian, and upon hearing this, he stretched out his gaunt hand with a grin, “Young man, then go ahead and examine this old fellow. Don’t let our ancestors’ wisdom be looked down upon.”

His speech was weak but carried an inherent majesty that made one feel it shouldn’t be defied.

Albert, seeing Liu Wentian ignoring his words and instead walking to the bedside, was about to get angry, but hearing the old man’s words, he suddenly looked embarrassed and dared not say anything more.

Liu Wentian smiled and said, “Don’t worry, old man. These fellows are not qualified to belittle the wisdom of our ancestors, or rather, as long as I’m here, nobody has the right to look down on Chinese medicine in this world.”

His tone was light, yet it paradoxically gave off a feeling of supremacy, like an emperor who commanded life and death!!

“Good lad!!” The elder said upon hearing this, his eyes lighting up with appreciation.

If his subordinates saw the admiration on his face, they would probably be extremely envious of Liu Wentian for being able to receive such esteem from this elder, a recognition that was very rare among the youth.

As Albert listened to Liu Wentian’s words, he felt a surge of disgust, thinking that this young man, despite his young age, loved to bluff, and was completely unreliable. He also wondered how Elder Jiang could ever allow him to take his pulse, probably the old man was getting muddled!!
