The Martial Doctor-Chapter 87 - 86: Long Po

Huaye Tower, back courtyard loft.

Early in the morning, Qin Yanran felt annoyed, somewhat unsettled, as if something bad was about to happen, but everything in Huaye Tower was normal.

Next door was also quite normal, except she suffered a big loss from Liuli. This guy Lin was really willing to give.

His secret technique for saving people was so easily given to Liuli. Could it be that Liuli was offering herself in gratitude?

Liuli’s beauty was among the top in Huaye Tower. If she wasn’t unwilling, she would probably be more popular than even the Twelve Blossoms...

But she’s too stubborn.

Bang!

Second floor, her private room!

Qin Yanran was startled. To have managed to sneak up to the second floor without her noticing, this person’s cultivation level was definitely above hers. Without hesitation, she rushed out of the study, sprinting up to the second floor of the loft.

"Master, what happened to you?" Outside the room on the second floor, she saw her master Long Po lying on a couch, her face as pale as gold paper, a cup in her hand had fallen on the carpet.

Fortunately, there was a carpet, otherwise, if this precious official kiln tea cup broke, there would be no replacement.

"Bai Feng from the Snow Mountain Sect, I didn’t expect that even after marrying, her skills improved so rapidly..." Long Po said through gritted teeth.

"Master, was it Bai Feng from the Snow Mountain Sect who injured you? Why were you two fighting?"

"It’s all old grudges. I got a punch in the shoulder, probably a fracture, but she didn’t fare well either, getting hit by my palm. Hehe, our Moon Worship Sect’s Profound Spirit Palm, she probably won’t last long..." Long Po laughed triumphantly, and the laughter sounded like a night owl’s, somewhat eerie even during the day.

Luckily, the second floor of the loft had soundproofing, otherwise, if this spread, it would scare the people outside.

Only then did Qin Yanran notice that Long Po’s arm couldn’t be raised, hanging limply. But there must have been more than just this one injury, or else her other hand wouldn’t have been unable to hold even a cup, letting it fall to the ground.

Noticing a trace of blood oozing from Long Po’s mouth corner, Qin Yanran anxiously said, "Master, you’re coughing blood, you’ve got internal injuries, should I help you with healing?"

"Don’t bother, your skills can’t help me, my internal injuries will heal over time." Long Po gestured to refuse, "Find a good physician for me to treat this arm. Bai Feng, that bitch, she really hit hard!"

"This injury, I’m afraid there’s no physician in Dongshan City who can treat it. I’d better send a message and get Uncle Guishou to come." Qin Yanran, with insight, knew the injury was severe seeing Long Po’s immobile arm.

"No, Guishou went to the Southern Border, even if he gets the news, he won’t be able to rush back in time. My arm must be treated quickly, otherwise, it will greatly affect my mobility and possibly my cultivation." Long Po said.

"What should we do then? Although there are many famous doctors in Dongshan City, few are skilled in bone injuries, and your identity cannot be exposed..." Qin Yanran suddenly didn’t know what to do.

"Find a way to grab someone, as long as we don’t let him see our true faces, it’ll be fine." Long Po thought for a moment and said.

"Master, although these famous doctors are not adept in combat, they have practiced martial arts since childhood. Although I am in the Blood Fusion Realm, if it really comes to a fight, I may not be able to capture them within one or two moves. If there’s a commotion, our ten years of efforts will all be for nothing..."

"Yanran, are you unwilling to save your master?"

"No, Master, how could I not want to save you? You are my only support in the sect. If anything happens to you, it won’t benefit me. It’s just that I have a more suitable person in mind. If we can get him to help you, it might be better than finding the doctors in Dongshan City!" Qin Yanran thought of someone and hurriedly explained.

"Are you planning to let the guy next door treat me?" Long Po wasn’t stupid and instantly guessed Qin Yanran’s thoughts.

"His medical skills are really impressive, you have no idea... Once he helps you, we can’t dissociate ourselves from him!"

"What if he doesn’t know how to treat bone injuries?"

"We’ll find out by trying."

"What method will you use to make him yield?"

"Master, don’t worry, I have a clever plan." Qin Yanran smiled, seemingly thinking of a way to control Lin Miao.

"Okay, if he really has this ability, I can introduce him to our sect, it would be great if he could become your powerful assistant in the future!" Long Po nodded.

As a keen master, Long Po sensed her disciple had an inexplicable feeling towards this young man named Lin Miaoe.

...

The operation went smoothly.

"Xia Zhu, I’m going to sleep for a while, take a nap. If Bai Feng Heroine wakes up, notify me immediately." Lin Miao was exhausted.

"Okay, Mr. Lin."

"Make sure to pay attention to the incision, check every two hours, and inform me immediately if there’s any redness or pus."

"Yes."

"Dear Brother, when will my mother wake up?" As soon as the operation ended, Su Chen came to his mother’s side.

"Once the Mafu Powder’s effect wears off, auntie will naturally wake up. According to my estimate, at least two hours, so, Mr. Su, you can rest for a while, no need to worry too much."

"No, I’ll stay here. As soon as she wakes up, I’ll go find you." Su Chen said.

Lin Miao didn’t continue to persuade, serving one’s mother at her bedside is only right. He can do as he pleases.

After handling the surgical tools, disinfecting, and putting them away, there was just over an hour left until dawn. Lin Miao got into bed and soon fell asleep.

Although the surgery didn’t seem major, it consumed a lot of his energy and spirit. A good sleep was necessary to recover.

When he woke up, it was already daylight.

The sunlight shone through the translucent paper windows, but the room was still quite dim. Without lighting a lamp, it was really hard to see.

It seems I must find a way to produce glass soon. Even if not for societal advancement, at least for a bit more comfort in my own life.

In this winter, unless the window is opened, the room can’t get any sunlight. Even with a charcoal brazier, it feels different.

"Junior Brother, you’re awake?" Sun Youwei pushed the door and came in. His bedroom was a place only his senior sister could enter freely.

Though there were no secrets, it was, after all, his living quarters, and he didn’t like outsiders entering.

"How long did I sleep?"

"About two hours, I think?"

"Oh, has Mrs. Su woken up yet?"

"Not yet, but Xia Zhu has checked her pulse and said there’s been some improvement." Sun Youwei heard from Yu Zhu this morning about what happened last night.

"Alright, let me wash up, and I’ll go take a look." Lin Miao got out of bed.

"Junior Brother, you were quite bold. How did you dare to operate on Mr. Su’s mother last night?" Sun Youwei asked with concern.

"If it were an unrelated person, I wouldn’t even provide a treatment plan. But Mr. Su has been sincere to me and helped me so much. How could I stand by while his mother was in trouble?"

"I’m not saying you shouldn’t save people, but you also need to consider your own situation. What if..."

A knock on the door interrupted her, and Su Chen’s voice came from outside.

"Sanshui, my mother has woken up!"

"Alright, Mr. Su, I know. I’ll be there right away!" Lin Miao replied, turning to Sun Youwei, "Senior Sister, I am mindful of what I do. You don’t have to worry."

Sun Youwei nodded. She knew Lin Miao was more mature and methodical than her as a senior sister.

"Auntie, how are you feeling?"

"Pain, dry mouth, dizzy, can’t move..." Bai Feng said softly.

"These are normal postoperative reactions, so there’s no need to worry." After checking the pulse, Lin Miao also touched Bai Feng’s forehead.

A slight fever.

The situation wasn’t too serious.

But the current medical conditions were indeed lacking. However, Bai Feng was different from ordinary patients as she was a martial expert with Meridian Passage Realm cultivation.

Her vitality and internal self-repair ability were much stronger than ordinary people, especially after reaching the Meridian Passage Realm.

Blood and cell regeneration ability were stronger than usual.

"Xia Zhu, note down my prescription: one gram of Lingzhi, two grams of Angelica, two grams of saffron from the Western Regions, one gram of Moutan."

"This is called the Blood Stasis Dissolving Formula, which has the effects of promoting blood circulation, removing stasis, and relieving pain. However, it must be taken after the patient’s gut is open; for now, nothing can be ingested."

"Why can’t anything be ingested?"

"I performed surgery on Auntie, removing a small part of the spleen and a section of the intestine. The body’s internal circulation system has been disturbed and needs a recovery process. People eat grains to produce waste. If any part isn’t open, eating would cause blockage. You understand what would happen if there’s a blockage, right?"

Being a medical practitioner, Su Chen naturally understood this principle and immediately realized the necessity of "venting" post-surgery.

"Don’t worry. With Auntie’s physique, it’s just a matter of time before she ’vents’!" Lin Miao continued, "If Auntie feels thirsty, she can wet her lips with a towel, but she must avoid drinking water."

"The pulse is basically stable now. Auntie needs to rest and must avoid moving her internal energy."

Since medicine couldn’t be used, Lin Miao resorted to acupuncture to reduce Bai Feng’s fever.

Moreover, he performed the procedure openly in front of Su Chen, instructing Xia Zhu as he went, with no intention of being secretive.

Even though Su Chen had witnessed this remarkable medical skill last night, seeing it again still left him astounded.

Because after the needling, he clearly felt his mother’s fever diminish.

And this method, even the well-traveled heroine Bai Feng had never seen before. She only knew that there was a mystical technique in the martial world called "airblock," which could instantly immobilize a person, rendering them unable to fight or even causing death.

She also knew the key points where errors in "energy accumulation" could lead to immediate death when struck.

But she never imagined these "energy points" could be used in healing through external stimulation.

Who exactly was this friend her son inadvertently made, possessing such incredible skills?
