Chapter 480: The Drawbacks of Martial Artist Prescriptions
Liou Qingcheng glared at Meng Nan with annoyance and pulled Sisi along, saying, "Don’t pay attention to him in the future, this person is too bad."
Sisi nodded with a smile, expressing strong agreement.
Meng Nan immediately began to wail, "Qingcheng, you’re protective, but why do you have to badmouth me?"
Zhao Xuefeng’s thoughts were all focused on Lin Tian, he stepped forward and asked, "Lin Tian, what’s going on with this medicine?"
Lin Tian wasn’t sure either. He looked into the box and could feel that hot sensation lingering, radiating a strong medicinal effect that, while potent, was actually beneficial to the skin.
Just like earlier, the heat rushed to Lin Tian’s face, followed by a wave of coolness.
If this goes on for a long time, the skin can greatly improve.
Of course, this was something only Lin Tian knew, not even Zhao Xuefeng was aware.
Based on their recent conversation and the current situation, the medicinal effects in the insulated box had already been extracted. However, without the integration of Spiritual Qi, the effects would only dissipate externally.
"Teacher, please don’t rush. This medicine might need to be supplemented with my Qi Gong..."
Lin Tian didn’t hide from Zhao Xuefeng. Last time, when he took the pulse for himself, he used ’Qi Gong’ as an excuse to cover it up.
"Then is this medicine still useful?"
Zhao Xuefeng was clearly very fascinated with ancient medicine and was encountering such a magical potion for the first time. The water wouldn’t boil for a long time; and once it did, the heat wouldn’t dissipate easily.
"Let me try." Lin Tian said with a wry smile.
After speaking, he spread his fingers open over the mouth of the insulated box and began to apply Spiritual Qi.
The Spiritual Qi was intangible, but Lin Tian felt as if it was his other hand, able to be controlled at his will.
A strange scene emerged. Although invisible to the naked eye, Lin Tian could clearly feel that the Qi was enveloping all the heat and squeezing it into the medicine paste.
It wasn’t over yet. The heat compressed to a point, like a bomb. If Lin Tian didn’t control it well, it could explode at any time, leaving him seriously injured again.
Lin Tian’s expression was serious, and the atmosphere affected everyone. Even Meng Nan closed his mouth and watched Lin Tian without blinking.
All the Spiritual Qi was squeezed through Lin Tian’s right hand into the box. The Qi was like a giant hand, the heat like dough, using all its strength to compress the dough to its limit, and still having to compress further, showing the difficulty of it.
The process was exhausting, and soon Lin Tian’s Sea of Qi was approaching depletion, sweat streaming down his face, veins bulging, a look of desperation.
Everyone watching felt nervous, especially Liou Qingcheng, who wanted to help Lin Tian but didn’t know what to do, feeling utterly helpless. Fortunately, Sisi was beside her, holding her hand, silently comforting her.
Just when the Qi was about to be exhausted, finally, a change occurred within the medicine paste.
All the heat was absorbed into the medicine paste, not disappearing but gathering internally. With Qi serving as a medium, only when the paste was applied to the skin would the heat seep into the bones.
Although tired, and the Qi depleted, Lin Tian felt it was worth it. Because the final step of the medicine was completed, once applied to the body, recovery would be rapid.
Lin Tian reached into the insulated box to retrieve the medicine paste, when suddenly there was a ’crack’ sound, and the entire insulated box, both the inner heat-insulating container and the outer shell, shattered completely. The medicine paste fell onto the blanket.
"This..."
Everyone was stunned, what was going on? Did Lin Tian have such great strength to crush the entire insulated bottle just by gripping the neck?
Little did they know, the insulated bottle holding till now was due to Lin Tian’s extreme control, or else it would have exploded from the Qi long ago.
Even Lin Tian himself found it unbelievable.
Do Martial Artists’ prescriptions all require Qi to be refined? Then, for others’ prescriptions in the future, if Qi is needed, only through his own hands can it be useful, otherwise it would only have a counterproductive effect.
Lin Tian had no solution for such drawbacks, so he stopped pondering over it.
"Lin Tian, I think it might be better not to use this medicine..." Zhao Xuefeng paused for two seconds, then said, "The illness can be treated slowly; rushing could be harmful instead."
Lin Tian knew Zhao Xuefeng was thinking for his own good, smiled and said, "Don’t worry, teacher, I know what I’m doing. But now this plaster cast needs to be removed."
Removing a plaster cast isn’t something that can be done casually; it requires an X-ray first to confirm the bones have healed, then a doctor will use professional tools to remove it, otherwise doing it by oneself can cause secondary injury.
Although Lin Tian was one hundred percent confident he could do it himself, Liou Qingcheng insisted otherwise, so eventually, two doctors were called.
The two doctors initially refused to remove it directly, but after hearing from a nurse that the patient was personally cared for by the dean who allowed him full treatment, they agreed to proceed.
Removing the plaster cast was truly troublesome; first, the outer bandages had to be removed, then hot water was applied on top, and after the cast softened, it was cut open bit by bit with scissors.
This process took more than half an hour to complete. If Lin Tian’s method was used, the plaster could have been crumbled to debris instantly with Qi.
Once the cast was removed, his legs were again exposed to air, free from the cumbersome feeling, making Lin Tian feel refreshed in body and mind.
Then Zhao Xuefeng took the box of medicine paste and personally applied it to Lin Tian’s legs.
No one understood the medicine’s effect better than Lin Tian, intense yet effective. Coupled with suitable massage technique, it would be even better.
Zhao Xuefeng had the same idea, coinciding with Lin Tian’s thoughts, and even volunteered to offer Lin Tian a massage.
Zhao Xuefeng sat by the bed, asked, "Lin Tian, do you know the technique for this massage?"
Lin Tian nodded, "Yes, I know a bit."
While ’Tyrant Emperor’s Record’ mostly contained acupuncture information, acupuncture and massage have always been ancient medical trademarks, complementing each other, so massage techniques were also included.
Just like when Lin Tian massaged Chen Moxiang previously, claiming ’Thousand Hands Massage Skill’, which was part of the Massage Technique, enhanced by Spiritual Qi.
Although Zhao Xuefeng had no Spiritual Qi whatsoever, the massage techniques Lin Tian knew were much stronger than what he knew.
Sisi could be said to be an ardent fan of Zhao Xuefeng. Seeing her idol seeking guidance from Lin Tian made her feel a bit jealous. But Sisi also knew this was Lin Tian’s skill. Yesterday they recorded the conversation content, Liou Qingcheng copied it and gave her a copy.
After listening, Sisi had a similar reaction to Zhao Xuefeng, sweating profusely, fascinated.
