Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain Chapter 5 - 5 5 Taiyi Yin-yang Divine Needle
Previously on Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain...
A cluster of onlookers buzzed in hushed tones, the men casting envious and jealous glances toward Lin Dong.
In contrast, the women displayed looks of scorn and derision.
“Creak creak…”
With her high heels clicking and her hips swaying like a serpent in water, Li Qingcheng drew near to Lin Dong, speaking down to him in a superior tone,
“Young man, quit showing off and fooling people. Head elsewhere. Understand, your antics might harm my family’s enterprise.”
Her tone appeared mild, yet it carried an air of command.
The spectators grasped Li Qingcheng’s aim as they observed the interaction.
It turned out she held no attraction to Lin Dong due to his looks, intending to support him as a paramour.
Rather, she wished for him to depart!
Suddenly, the watching men experienced a wave of ease.
They chimed in to push Lin Dong out.
“Fraud!”
“Scram.”
“…”
Lin Dong persisted in clarifying, “I’m no fraud; my remedies truly effective!”
While explaining, his stare stayed locked on the stunning woman before him, who stole one’s breath.
His eyes dwelled on the ample curves straining against two buttons of her shirt.
Employing the ‘observation’ skill from Traditional Chinese Medicine’s ‘Four Diagnostic Methods,’ he detected her illness.
Li Qingcheng creased her brow, uneasy beneath Lin Dong’s intense gaze, as though her attire offered no shield.
“Sister, moments ago, through the ‘observation’ method of Traditional Chinese Medicine Diagnostics, I spotted that you suffer from breast nodules,” Lin Dong offered helpfully.
Li Qingcheng gave an eye roll, “Are you going to say next that a massage from you will heal me?”
Lin Dong affirmed, “A massage treatment can absolutely resolve it!”
“You’re unbearable,” Li Qingcheng grumbled, even more at a loss for words, “Such crude and repulsive tricks you pull!”
“I’m granting you ten seconds to vanish immediately, or I’ll summon the authorities!”
“And come then, you’ll end up jailed for swindling!”
Hearing her out, Lin Dong found himself at a loss.
This lady indeed possessed breast nodules, and they were quite large.
Without intervention, they might progress to a tumor. At that stage, curing it would prove challenging.
Yet she refused to trust him, even threatening police; he felt powerless.
Lin Dong yearned to elaborate further.
But right then, the unforeseen occurred.
A high-end vehicle arrived at the entrance of Qingcheng International Company opposite.
Emerging from the luxury car was a middle-aged affluent woman, bundled tightly with a face mask and hat.
Two suited men trailed behind her.
As soon as the affluent woman exited, her eyes locked onto Li Qingcheng amid the throng.
“Li Qingcheng, you wretch, you’ve destroyed me!” she bellowed while charging at Li Qingcheng.
Li Qingcheng stood frozen; she knew the voice.
It belonged to Yu Li, spouse of the Jianghai Commerce Association’s President and a patron of her beauty firm.
Swiftly, she inquired, “Sister Li, what’s the meaning of this?”
“What’s the meaning? Stop feigning ignorance with me.”
The furious Yu Li yanked off her hat and mask, exposing a visage marred by oozing dermatitis.
“Wow, mommy, she looks terrifying… waaah.” A youngster glimpsing her face wailed in terror.
The rest who beheld it also sensed a wave of icy unease.
Li Qingcheng recoiled in shock, “Sister Li, your face?”
“Wretch, you dare inquire? Isn’t this ghostly state from using your cosmetics!” Yu Li lashed out.
Li Qingcheng hastened to justify, “Sister Li, that can’t be. Our firm’s items all carry certifications. No possibility…”
“Still evading? I warn you, unless you pay me a billion today, this won’t end!” Yu Li declared icily.
Upon hearing this, Li Qingcheng grew alarmed.
A billion proved excessive; her company lacked such funds presently.
But refusal to pay, given Yu Li’s influence,
Her spouse, head of the Jianghai Commerce Association, might close her business with a single command.
As she frantically pondered solutions, abruptly, a voice echoed.
“Madam, the affliction on your face bears no relation to the cosmetics applied!”
With this voice, all eyes shifted to its source.
Li Qingcheng realized the speaker was none other than the ‘fraud’ she’d just rebuked. Astonishment filled her.
Affluent Yu Li turned to him too, “Who might you be? A physician?”
“Hahaha…” Her remark sparked laughter.
Spectators voiced:
“He’s a ghost doctor at best.”
“Merely a wandering trickster peddling worthless potions, boasting cures for every ailment.”
“…”
Absorbing the crowd’s remarks, affluent Yu Li flared with anger:
“A wandering trickster interfering, courting doom!”
“Men, wreck his setup first!”
She directed her two guards.
Just as the guards prepared to advance, Lin Dong interjected:
“Madam, may I inquire, did you consume sea squid yesterday evening?”
These words stunned affluent Yu Li, who exclaimed, “How could you tell?”
She promptly halted the guards, suspending their actions.
Lin Dong explained, “The reason for the pus-laden eruptions on your face stems from ingesting sea squid meat.”
“It’s suppurative dermatitis triggered by squid allergy. Untreated promptly, disfigurement is inevitable! Worse, it threatens life. You might perish amid suppurating sores.”
These revelations paled affluent Yu Li’s face in fright.
“Is… is it truly so? Can you heal it?” Yu Li pressed anxiously.
“Certainly! Allow me to apply acupuncture, and recovery follows,” Lin Dong assured.
After brief deliberation, Yu Li agreed, “Fine, treat me at once!”
Scarce had her words faded when the crowd warned, “He’s merely a fraud.”
“No youth that tender could genuinely heal illnesses!”
“Quiet, all of you!” Yu Li snapped at the onlookers. She refused to deem a guesser of her dinner a deceiver.
“Young fellow, hurry and heal me. Success brings lavish reward!” Now, she clasped Lin Dong’s hand, speaking with desperation.
Lin Dong assented and retrieved an acupuncture kit from his pocket, readying for the procedure.
“This rich woman trusts such a wandering trickster, what folly!”
“She falls for cons too readily, that affluent one.”
“If he succeeds, I’ll devour the suppurations on her face.”
“…”
The assembly whispered, deeming Lin Dong a fraud and mocking affluent Yu Li as gullible.
Lin Dong ignored them, concentrating on the acupuncture.
He extracted two silver needles, varying in length.
The method he prepared to employ came from his mentor, Daoist Qing Shan.
Titled ‘Taiyi Yin-yang Divine Needle.’
It heals via the Five Elements of Yin and Yang!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~~~
The silver needles pierced face acupoints like Chengjiang and Yingxiang for therapy.
Upon initiating, Yu Li sensed fierce itching from her facial suppurations.
“Ah, such itchiness…” she groaned in torment.
Witnessing this, the passersby commented:
“Observe, mere needle pricks pretend healing, utter rubbish! I warned he’s a fraud.”
“If so effortless, why exist hospitals?”
“Clearly worsening under care!”
“…”
Yet…
Right then, white vapor arose from the purulent lesions on affluent Yu Li’s face.
Subsequently, the lesions shrank visibly.
Beholding this, Li Qingcheng cried out in thrill, “It’s effective! Sister Li, your facial suppurations are vanishing!!!”
Wow!!
The spot erupted in commotion.
This youth… proves no fraud!
His acupuncture… truly heals ailments?!
