Chapter 420 - 418: The Perilous Operation
Although it’s not that he is omnipotent, at critical moments, when Chen Tianlong steps in, it is still somewhat useful, at least he is a practitioner with powerful Qi.
Moreover, the Heart Method he learned is indeed very effective in clearing various meridians in the body.
After the surgeon placed the scalpel and other tools aside, he carefully retreated to the back to observe.
At this moment, Zhang Ju walked over, picked up the scalpel, and then instructed the two female nurses beside him to take off Lin Wushuang’s top, exposing only her back to everyone.
Her back was sealed with medicine to prevent bacterial infection.
With the help of the nurses, Lin Wushuang’s wound was exposed before Zhang Ju’s eyes. Zhang Ju frowned at this moment; although the wound wasn’t infected, there was a faint ooze of blood and a small amount of secretion.
Zhang Ju picked up the medical cotton, carefully cleaned the wound, and then began to administer anesthesia to Lin Wushuang. For a surgery involving the internal structure of the body, anesthesia must be used.
Otherwise, if the patient suddenly wakes up, they will struggle desperately, which could lead to surgical errors or even death.
Chen Tianlong watched from the side, also very nervous, even more so than when undergoing surgery himself. He had never been so nervous about a person, but Lin Wushuang gave him this feeling.
Perhaps it was guilt, perhaps it was the reluctance after spending time together every day.
After completing all these preparations, Zhang Ju’s scalpel began to penetrate the muscles in Lin Wushuang’s back, precisely and skillfully reaching the location of the fractured bone through the separation of muscles and bones.
The two surgeons nearby immediately widened their eyes. They had not even seen what had happened before Zhang Ju already reached his destination with the scalpel.
It was truly amazing that with so many muscles, blood vessels, and bones, this person was able to easily avoid them and directly clamp onto the broken bone.
This left the two experienced surgeons in shock.
However, at this moment, Zhang Ju hesitated because he discovered that the broken bone was pressing on a nerve that was about to break, and it was a very important spinal cord nerve.
If the broken bone were to be removed, the nerve might instantly experience a surge of blood.
As a result, the blocked nerve would be stretched and break, possibly leading to the patient being permanently paralyzed or even turning into a vegetative state.
"What’s wrong?"
Chen Tianlong, with his keen observational skills, had already noticed Zhang Ju’s expressions and actions, and now seeing him suddenly frown and hesitate greatly, felt that things were not simple.
"Chen Tianlong, I found that this broken bone is pressing on Miss Chen’s spinal cord nerve," Zhang Ju stated truthfully.
"Oh, then what? Can’t the broken bone be removed directly?"
Chen Tianlong asked with some confusion, as he was not very familiar with this aspect.
"No, because the spinal cord nerve pressed by the broken bone is very fragile and already injured. If the broken bone suddenly comes out, the nerve center will be immediately cleared, and the fragile nerve will be stretched to break. The instantaneous impact force is very large, so it cannot be removed. Once the central nerve is broken, Miss Chen will be completely paralyzed, becoming the legendary vegetative state."
Zhang Ju was not exaggerating in the slightest, evidently very serious.
"What? Vegetative state?"
Not only was Chen Tianlong shocked, but everyone present was shocked by the sad news.
"Then... does it mean that Wushuang’s broken bone can’t be removed? But if not removed, she will always be on the edge of danger, with her life at risk at any moment."
Chen Tianlong had never been so anxious. At this moment, hearing as if Lin Wushuang was beyond saving, his heart was in utter chaos.
At this moment, Zhang Ju thought for a while and suddenly said, "Actually, there is a way. As long as there’s a way to slowly clear her spinal cord nerve, not immediately. The biggest fear is the sudden impact of that force, such fragile nerves can definitely not withstand it."
Chen Tianlong was very frustrated. To clear slowly—what method could possibly clear it? It’s nerve, not a rubber hose; it’s not something you can clear just because you want to.
While pondering this, Chen Tianlong suddenly recalled something. Right, wasn’t his Heart Method capable of clearing all the meridians in the body? The spinal cord nerve is also a type of meridian, so could it be possible to clear it slowly through the Heart Method?
"Master, I have an idea. I don’t know if it’s feasible."
Chen Tianlong pondered and then made up his mind.
"Oh? Chen Tianlong, you mean, you can slowly clear the spinal cord nerve?"
Zhang Ju was no fool; the only feasible way now was this. Anything else, if mistaken in the slightest, would make Lin Wushuang a vegetative state, and with the significant identity of Miss Chen, it’s unlikely Chen Tianlong dared to mess around.
"Yes."
Chen Tianlong was not completely certain if it was possible and intended to try it, so he did not say much more. He just nodded and quickly walked to Lin Wushuang, grasping her fair little hand, placed his fingers on her pulse, and gently closed his eyes.
At this moment, Chen Tianlong was astonished to find that he could actually clearly observe everything around him, very distinctly.
No, it wasn’t clarity, it was penetration!
Chen Tianlong could actually see Lin Wushuang’s bones and meridians even more clearly.
What’s going on?
Is it an illusion, or because I closed my eyes and am dreaming?
Chen Tianlong hurriedly opened his eyes, observing reality, it didn’t seem like a dream, and then looking again at Lin Wushuang’s wound, finding he could see nothing, seeing only the surface.
He shook his head, believing he was seeing things.
So, Chen Tianlong closed his eyes again, began to operate the Heart Method Mantra, planning to transmit powerful Qi into Lin Wushuang’s body. But, just as he calmed his mind, the previous scene appeared again.
This time, he realized it wasn’t a dream, it was because he was operating the Heart Method.
So, is it because of operating the Heart Method or closing the eyes?
To verify, Chen Tianlong quickly opened his eyes, yet the Heart Method did not stop; at this point, all he saw was the wound’s surface. Confirming this, Chen Tianlong quickly closed his eyes again, vaguely able to see the meridians and bones.
So he stopped the Heart Method, finding darkness.
Now, Chen Tianlong finally could conclude, that the effect was achieved when closing the eyes and operating the Heart Method together.
This discovery brought joy to Chen Tianlong—it was so heaven-defying. With this, when transmitting powerful Qi to clear Lin Wushuang’s meridians later, the success probability greatly increased.
Clearly, this allowed Chen Tianlong to monitor Qi transmission and the clearing progress of the meridians at all times, making it undoubtedly safer.
