Chapter 343 - Medical Expert

Arriving in the county town, Chen Yang parked the car in the backyard of Lin Tianxia as usual, handed the keys to Wang De, then took the elevator from the lobby to the top floor, to Li Han’s office.

Upon entering, Chen Yang saw Li Han enjoying tea with a vigorous elderly man.

“Chen Yang, you’re here.”

As soon as Li Han saw Chen Yang enter, he immediately stood up and approached him.

Chen Yang glanced at the old man still sitting by the tea table and asked, “Is he the one who wanted to see me?”

Li Han nodded, “Yes, that old man.

From our chat earlier, I gathered that he’s a retired expert from the provincial city’s big hospital.”

Li Han added a bit more about the man’s background.

“A retired expert?

Could he be here to pick a fight?”

Hearing the words ‘hospital retired expert’, Chen Yang naturally started thinking along the lines of trouble.

These days, there were many who flaunted their professional knowledge, especially such retired experts.

Gripping onto any small issue, they could be very troublesome.

“I don’t know.”

Li Han shook his head, then said, “Why not go over and talk, and we’ll find out if he’s really here to pick a fight.”

“Mhm,”

Chen Yang nodded.

After all, the man was seated right there in the office; it wouldn’t be polite to ignore him.

Good or bad, chatting would reveal all.

“Mr.

Li, this is the founder of our hotel’s medicinal recipes, Chen Yang.”

After walking over with Chen Yang, Li Han immediately introduced him to the elderly man sitting by the tea table.

The old man stood up and smiled.

However, as soon as he saw Chen Yang, his smile turned into a look of skepticism.

“Ah, how are you so young?”

The man, known as Mr.

Li, asked Chen Yang with a face full of suspicion.

Chen Yang was somewhat baffled, “What?

Should I be old?”

Mr.

Li scrutinized Chen Yang seriously, nodded naturally, and said, “Of course.

Only a great Chinese medicine practitioner who has delved into it for decades could have developed such sophisticated medicinal recipes.

How could you have achieved this at such a young age?”

After speaking, Mr.

Li shook his head in disappointment, as if Chen Yang had let him down.

Seeing Mr.

Li’s manner, Chen Yang pretty much understood why Mr.

Li wanted to meet him.

He must have tried the medicinal recipes and thought highly of them, hence he presumed Chen Yang was a grand medical practitioner and wanted to make friends.

Relieved that Mr.

Li wasn’t there to cause trouble, a smile appeared on Chen Yang’s face.

“Mr.

Li, you’re right in thinking so, but have you considered that these recipes could be inherited?”

Chen Yang said.

“Inherited?”

Mr.

Li, who was initially disappointed, brightened up at that idea, “Do you mean to say that the recipes weren’t created by you, but were taught to you by your master?”

“Exactly, my master taught them to me.”

Chen Yang nodded naturally.

The Medicine King’s Scripture had given Chen Yang powerful capabilities, which was almost like having a master.

“No wonder, I was thinking how someone so young could have developed such miraculous medical recipes.”

Mr.

Li suddenly realized, and eagerly pulled Chen Yang to sit down.

“Young man, may I ask your master’s name?

If it’s convenient, could you introduce me?

I, Li, have practiced medicine all my life and love discussing it with fellow great medical practitioners.”

“Today, having tried the medicinal recipes here, I truly long to meet your master.”

Mr.

Li earnestly said to Chen Yang.

Now, both Chen Yang and Li Han understood why Mr.

Li insisted on meeting Chen Yang.

“Hehe.”

However, this put Chen Yang in an awkward position.

He had casually mentioned a master just to find an excuse, but he didn’t really have one.

He couldn’t possibly show Mr.

Li the Medicine King’s Scripture, could he?

Chen Yang awkwardly chuckled, then found another excuse, “My master has long since passed away.”

“Ah?

Passed away?”

Li had a shock, followed by a face full of regret.

“What a pity!

The departure of such a great traditional Chinese medicine expert to the West is a huge loss to the medical community.”

“Now the world is full of Western doctors, and there are very few Chinese medicine practitioners left.

It’s rare to come across one, but…

alas.”

The old man sighed deeply, as if he harbored some unspeakable secret.

Chen Yang noticed and said, “Li, I’ve basically learned all of my master’s skills.

If there’s anything you need help with, just let me know, and I’d be glad to help.”

Chen Yang felt a deep connection with Li, and as a fellow medical practitioner, he felt a kindred spirit.

Especially someone like Li, who devoted himself to studying medicine.

That’s why Chen Yang took the initiative to offer help.

Upon hearing this, Li’s expression moved slightly, and then he sighed again.

“Forget it, even if you learned all your master’s skills, your experience definitely won’t suffice.

The path of Chinese medicine is profoundly mysterious, and without decades of medical experience, you won’t be much help to me!”

Li’s words were not meant to belittle Chen Yang but were simply the truth.

Naturally, a Chinese medicine practitioner needs decades of experience to make a mark.

That’s why he said so.

But what he didn’t know was that Chen Yang was no ordinary person.

“Li, that’s a bit dismissive of you.

Although I’m young, I’m very capable in medicine.

I’m sure I can help you.”

Chen Yang said confidently.

“That’s right, Li.

I can vouch for that.

Chen Yang’s medical skills are indeed exceptional.

He easily cured my grandfather’s persistent ailments!”

At that moment, Li Han also spoke up, backing up Chen Yang.

If Chen Yang were alone in his claims, it might seem arrogant, but with Li Han also supporting him, Li had to take it seriously.

“Really?

Your medical skills are that remarkable?”

Li seemed to have caught a lifeline.

Chen Yang and Li Han exchanged glances, and Chen Yang nodded decisively, “Of course, could this be a lie?”

“Alright, then I’ll explain my situation to you.

If you truly can help, I’ll be deeply grateful.”

Li bowed to Chen Yang and then began to explain his predicament.

It turned out that Li’s spouse had been in a car accident a few years ago.

And had become a vegetative state.

Modern Western medicine was helpless, and only traditional Chinese medicine treatment methods showed some effects.

However, Chinese medicine practitioners are extremely rare in this society, even more scarce than national treasures.

Thus, Li’s spouse had still not received any effective treatment.

Today, while dining at Li Han’s hotel, he happened to taste the medicinal meal prepared by Chen Yang.

Based on his intuition and knowledge of Chinese medicine, he was certain that the one who prepared the medicinal meal must be an exceptional Chinese medicine practitioner, which led him to insist on meeting Chen Yang.

“So, that’s what happened.”

After listening to Li’s story, Chen Yang and Li Han instantly understood everything.

Chen Yang and Li Han took a moment to reflect on everything Li had said, and after digesting it all, Chen Yang looked firmly at Li.

“Li, I can’t guarantee that I can definitely cure your wife, but I can say there’s a very good chance I might.”

Upon hearing Chen Yang’s words, Li’s expression immediately became excited.

“Really?

Are you truly that confident?”

Li excitedly grabbed Chen Yang’s arm.

“Mm-hmm, very confident.”

Chen Yang nodded.

“Alright, then let’s go quickly to my house and have a look.

If you can cure my wife, I’ll be very thankful!”

Li was so excited, he grabbed Chen Yang and was ready to leave.

Chen Yang could understand Li’s feelings and didn’t refuse.

“Li Han, I’ll go with Li first to check out his house.

I’ll come to find you when I have time.”

Before leaving, Chen Yang spoke to Li Han.

“Alright, you go ahead.

I’ll keep an eye on the medicinal meal!”

Li Han nodded and watched as Chen Yang and Li left.
