"Third Madam, you're right, I just love to flatter, so what? Divine Doctor Brother, Divine Doctor Brother, Divine Doctor Brother."
Qiu Qian called out several times in succession to provoke Jin Zhi on purpose. It seemed Jin Zhi was not well-liked in the Qiu Family. Rightly so, for such a person to be well-received would be surprising.
"Stop flattering here. Isn't he a divine doctor? If he's so capable, let him cure your father's legs. If he can't, what kind of divine doctor is he?"
"Jin Zhi, go make dinner, don't just stand around," Old Master Qiu said angrily. Jin Zhi didn't dare to argue, obediently going off to cook.
"I'm sorry, Zhenfei, this Jin Zhi just has such a temper. She's really trying to kill me with anger."
"It's alright, Old Master Qiu. I'm really not any kind of divine doctor, just someone with a little knowledge of Medical Arts."
At this point, Qiu Qian said nothing, looking thoughtful. She glanced at Old Master Qiu and asked, "Grandpa, do you think it's possible?"
Old Master Qiu shook his head, "It's been too long, child. Don't overthink it. It's impossible."
Ling Zhenfei didn't know what they were talking about. Just then, Qiu Qian walked up to him with a hint of pleading, "Divine Doctor Brother, can I ask you for a favor?"
"What is it? Just say it. As long as I can do it." For some reason, Ling Zhenfei couldn't resist this girl, nearly his age, feeling a strong urge to get close to her.
Hearing Ling Zhenfei agree, Qiu Qian was delighted, "Well, Divine Doctor Brother, my father has been paralyzed since a car accident ten years ago. He's been bedridden for a decade, often in tears. I want to ask you to look at my father,
not expecting a full recovery, but if you could make him stand or feel his legs, I would be satisfied."
"Of course, I can try, but I'm young and not very skilled in Medical Arts. If I can help, I certainly will."
"Zhenfei, don't be so modest. Just go with Xiao Qian and take a look."
Qiu Qian stood up to lead the way, taking Ling Zhenfei out the door, around a courtyard, and into another big room. She pushed the door open and walked in.
"Dad, I've got good news. I've found a divine doctor to look at your legs."
"What divine doctor? I've told you, my legs are useless. Stop dreaming about getting them cured." Ling Zhenfei hadn't even entered the room when he heard a man's voice inside, indicating that he had given up.
This man, Chou Qing, was Qiu Qian's father. At over forty, his face was marked with sorrow. Not even his beautiful daughter by his side could cheer him up.
After explaining the situation to Chou Qing, who had given up hope, Qiu Qian managed to convince him to let Ling Zhenfei take a look.
Ling Zhenfei first checked his pulse. Unlike others, he could feel the pulse's rhythm, but he also had the Perspective Eye and strong Spiritual Power to assist him.
As his hand touched Chou Qing's pulse, a wisp of Spiritual Power began spreading throughout Chou Qing's body, heading towards his legs while using the Perspective Eye to examine them.
Due to the long period, the leg muscles showed signs of atrophy. If left untreated, both muscles and nerves would deteriorate, making recovery impossible.
The primary reason was the accident, which altered the nerves in the legs, causing blood vessel blockages and nerve impediments. Early treatment would have been simple, but after so long, it became much more difficult.
Ling Zhenfei's cultivation had reached a bottleneck. Breaking through would greatly increase his Inner Strength.
Currently, treating Chou Qing was feasible but would require effort. Breaking through the bottleneck would make a significant difference, allowing Ling Zhenfei to see through human bodies directly to the afflicted areas, making treatment much more effective.
"How is it, Divine Doctor Brother?" Seeing Ling Zhenfei silent after feeling the pulse, Qiu Qian couldn't help but ask.
"Xiao Qian, don't make it hard for Mr. Ling. I know my condition. There's no hope left in this lifetime. Even the best doctors can't do anything."
Chou Qing had given up completely. Over the years, he had consulted many doctors, all claiming to be famous or divine but to no avail.
Some so-called divine doctors took a lot of money and used precious traditional Chinese medicines without any effect.
Actually, Chou Qing had no real hope. Seeing Ling Zhenfei, so young, the same age as his daughter, only reinforced his skepticism.
Everyone knew traditional Chinese medicine relied on experience, and older doctors were more skilled. Upon seeing Ling Zhenfei, he believed Ling Zhenfei couldn't cure him, even suspecting him to be a fraud tricking his daughter.
"Uncle Qiu, you don't need to lose hope. I've examined your condition. It's due to nerve and blood vessel displacement caused by the accident, leading to your leg paralysis. Originally, it wasn't severe and could be treated with proper acupuncture,
but due to the prolonged period, your nerves and muscles have atrophied. This is the critical issue. Your condition can't be delayed further and requires immediate treatment."
Upon hearing Ling Zhenfei's words, both Chou Qing and Qiu Qian were astonished. They had never encountered such a skilled doctor who could explain the condition so clearly and directly. What surprised them most was that Ling Zhenfei seemed confident in offering treatment.
"Divine Doctor Brother, can you treat my father's condition?"
"Of course, I can treat it, but I came in a hurry today and didn't prepare all the necessary items. So, starting tomorrow, I'll begin Uncle Qiu's treatment."
"If that's the case, it's truly wonderful. I don't know how to thank you."
Qiu Qian was extremely emotional, almost crying. For over ten years, she had hoped to see her father walk again, remembering the days he played games with her when she was little. That all ended with the car accident ten years ago. The news of a possible recovery filled her with joy.
Chou Qing was also very pleased. Though uncertain about the cure, he was grateful someone was willing to treat him. Previous doctors had suggested amputation, but he had fought hard to convince his wife against it.
