Starting to Gain Experience from Push-Ups Chapter 1422 - 687:

West Mountain Green Valley Sanatorium.

The fresh morning breeze swept through the lush pine forest at the foot of the mountain, where a few gray sparrows were hopping on the branches, chirping crisply.

Inside the yard, away from the city’s clamor, the rehabilitation center building appeared exceptionally peaceful, with only the occasional sound of nurses’ rolling cart wheels echoing from afar.

Those who can rest here are either retired senior officials or severely injured Special Search Team fighters.

The environment is indeed serene and pleasant, and the security is exceptionally strict.

Fang Cheng followed behind Master Sun, stepping on the thick carpet in the corridor as they walked forward.

After passing through three armed inner guard posts, the two stopped outside suite 103 in the special care area.

Master Sun pushed open the heavy solid wood door.

The room’s lighting was soft, the furnishings upscale, and a faint scent of traditional medicine lingered in the air.

A large therapy bed was placed by the window, and an elderly man with silver hair was lying there, his upper half propped up on a soft pillow, his pant legs rolled up to his knees, with a dark ointment patch on his lower back.

"Mr. Gu, I’ve brought a young man to take a look at your waist today."

Master Sun called to the old man, then quickly led Fang Cheng to the bedside, slightly bending over, and introduced:

"This kid is Fang Cheng, the treasure of our department, especially gifted in traditional medical skills."

"You’ve had this old ailment for a long time, and I thought he could relax your muscles and might relieve some of your condition."

The elder lying on the bed was Gu Weiping, a former high-powered official in the national central department.

What specific work he was responsible for or what position he held, Master Sun didn’t elaborate to Fang Cheng, seemingly intentionally keeping it secret, appearing particularly cautious and respectful.

Only mentioning that after his retirement, due to severe spinal stenosis with sciatic pain, he was specially transferred to this highly secure, top-level medical sanatorium for recuperation.

"Alright, if Old Sun recommends someone personally, I can trust him."

Gu Weiping turned his head slightly, glanced at Fang Cheng, and laughed: "Young man, give it a try."

Fang Cheng nodded and walked to the bedside.

He did not rush to start but first gently placed the palm root against the elder’s lumbar vertebrae, probing down along the erect spine muscles on both sides of the lumbar vertebrae.

With fingers sliding over, he could distinctly feel large cord-like hard lumps surrounding the L4 and L5 vertebrae, which were compensatory muscle spasms triggered by years of pain.

"Excuse me."

Fang Cheng softly said, as both thumbs precisely landed on the elder’s lumbar sides, specifically on the ’Shenshu’ and ’Dachangshu’ acupoints.

He did not use brute force but rather applied the One-Finger Zen method.

With knuckles slightly bent, wrists completely relaxed, relying on the smooth arm oscillation to drive the thumb, performing high-frequency, gentle, yet penetrating presses on the acupoints.

Meanwhile, Fang Cheng quietly controlled his Dantian, directing a strand of soothing True Qi through his fingertips, slowly channeling it into the elder’s acupoint.

The Qi penetrated the skin, bypassed the fragile nerve roots, directly infiltrating the proliferative bone spurs and hardened fascia.

The previously blocked deep lumbar vertebral area, like dried land meeting rain, was quickly nurtured, easing open.

"Mmm..."

Gu Weiping couldn’t help but exhale comfortably, his tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxing.

He only felt a warm current flowing into his waist.

This warm current, like spring water thawing ice, cleared the blockages, allowing the meridians to flow smoothly.

The damp and cold energy lurking in the joint gaps seemed to encounter its nemesis, transforming into wisps of white sweat, expelled through the pores.

Spasming muscle fibers gradually relaxed under this high-frequency vibration, regaining their original elasticity.

"Young man, your skill is amazing."

Gu Weiping marveled, his nostrils softly exhaling comfortable breaths:

"Not only is the force controlled precisely, but when you press down, my lumbar area feels warm, and an ailment that’s plagued me for years seems to have eased remarkably."

"By the way, where are you from and which top medical school did you graduate from?"

Fang Cheng’s technique changed as he alternated kneading the elder’s dorsal muscles, answering calmly:

"I’m from Jiangbei District, East Capital, and I didn’t attend a proper medical university. This massage and bone setting skill, I learned from an old master."

"Didn’t attend medical university?"

Gu Weiping was a bit surprised, then laughed, shaking his head:

"Looks like there are hidden talents out there! Old Sun says you’re a genius, and he’s not exaggerating. If you have time in the future, come chat with this old man more often."

"Mr. Gu, you’ve hit the mark."

Master Sun, beside him, rubbed his hands, chuckled, and continued:

"Xiao Fang’s skills, even when compared across the entire medical field in East Capital, are top-notch. Have him come and massage you often; it’s guaranteed to work."

Since Fang Cheng joined, Master Sun has greatly appreciated this humble, well-mannered, and skilled young man.

He not only takes care of him everywhere but often gives him these therapy opportunities for important people to practice.

He harbors intentions of mentoring, hoping to help this promising young man make more connections.

"Master Sun praises me, but Mr. Gu’s body’s foundation is good, and the blood and Qi absorb quickly."

Fang Cheng smiled softly, his hands not pausing in motion, his fingers precisely gliding along the acupoints.

About half an hour passed.

Fang Cheng gradually eased the pressure of his palms off the elder’s back.

By now, Gu Weiping’s forehead and back were covered in fine sweat, and his complexion, which previously appeared slightly dull, glowed with rosy brightness.

He cautiously twisted his waist, his eyes flashing with undisguised delight.
