Chapter 2349: Miraculous Healing

"Is there still hope?" Yuan Ha cared only about this one point.

"Of course there is. This is not a serious illness," Zhu Yanyi smiled. "Generally, there are two methods of treatment. The first is for me to use gold needles to release this strand of vital energy from the lady’s body. In this way, the lady will naturally recover. However, since this vital energy has lived in her body for ten years, once released, she may suffer from a severe illness."

"What about the second method?" Yuan Ha asked.

"The second method also involves using gold needles for acupuncture, but instead of releasing the vital energy, I will seal it into the lady’s dantian. Then, the lady needs to find a martial arts master to learn martial arts. As her martial arts cultivation increases, she can slowly refine this vital energy. This is quite beneficial for the lady, but learning martial arts requires enduring much hardship," Zhu Yanyi continued. "Whichever you choose, I will perform the corresponding acupuncture."

"If I learn martial arts, will my body recover?" Marykiya asked.

"Of course. Once I seal the vital energy in your dantian, you will be as you were ten years ago. However, since you have become thin, you will still need daily nourishment to gain weight. My medical skills are not yet advanced enough to make flesh grow on its own," Zhu Yanyi said with a smile.

"Can I still learn martial arts at my age?" Marykiya asked again.

"The sea of learning has no bounds," Zhu Yanyi said. "This applies not only to students who love learning, but also to those who love martial arts. Lady, you have vital energy within you. Although you have never practiced martial arts before, you may feel some soreness and discomfort at first. But afterwards, you will find that with this vital energy, your martial arts progress will be rapid."

"Then I will learn martial arts," Marykiya said.

"But, Mother," Yuan Ha said from the side. "There are no suitable martial arts masters in our town." Yuan Ha naturally hoped his mother would learn martial arts. Although it was hard work, it could strengthen the body.

Marykiya was slightly stunned, then said, "Then I will go elsewhere to find one. I am sure I can find a master."

Seeing Marykiya’s determination, Zhu Yanyi said, "Actually, before finding a suitable master, the lady can learn the Five Animal Frolics or Tai Chi. These can strengthen the body and guide the vital energy within the lady, gradually improving her constitution. The lady’s main goal is to live well, not necessarily to become a martial arts expert. Therefore, even if a suitable master cannot be found, learning the Five Animal Frolics and Tai Chi is still feasible."

Hearing this, Marykiya said, "That is good. I have heard of them. Although there are none here, there is a place teaching Tai Chi in Gesang Town, twenty miles away. I will go there to learn."

Zhu Yanyi smiled and said, "That works. For now, please follow me to the medical vehicle. I will first seal this strand of vital energy for you."

For this type of minor acupuncture, Zhu Yanyi was quick and skilled.

Just watching Zhu Yanyi’s technique, Marykiya looked amazed. "Doctor, your acupuncture skills are truly amazing. I do not feel any pain at all."

"Acupuncture naturally targets the acupoints, so it should not hurt. If it hurts, it is not accurate acupuncture," Zhu Yanyi answered seriously.

Acupuncture point insertion is itself a field of study. Many acupuncture treatments cause pain, indicating that the needles are not inserted into the correct acupoints. This has led to many fake traditional Chinese medicine practitioners in later generations claiming to know acupuncture, when in fact they are just pricking the skin. Some even cause severe pain and bleeding, damaging the reputation of traditional Chinese medicine. Zhu Yanyi, being skilled in acupuncture, had no such confusion.

"How wonderful. I used to watch others receive acupuncture, and many bled. Now I know that acupuncture does not cause bleeding," Marykiya said, looking at the gold needles on her body. For the first time, she felt the greatness of traditional Chinese medicine.

"Acupoints are actually small gaps between the connections of the body’s meridians, bones, and muscles. If the position is correct, it will not hurt or bleed. If the position is incorrect, it will naturally hurt and bleed," Zhu Yanyi said with a smile.

Marykiya thought for a moment and said, "Doctor, if acupuncture can seal the excess vital energy in me, can it help treat other illnesses?"

After inserting the last needle, Zhu Yanyi went to the side to write a prescription. As she wrote, she said, "Other illnesses? What kind?"

"I have a younger sister. She is thirty-seven years old and has been married for twenty-one years, but she has never had children. We have seen many doctors and taken many medicines. We have also consulted many shamans, but still no children. I would like you to examine her. Is that possible?" Marykiya had gained confidence in Zhu Yanyi. Not for any other reason, but because looking at the gold needles on her body, she found that her body had recovered significantly. The previous discomfort was gone, replaced by an indescribable sense of comfort.

Hearing this, Zhu Yanyi finished writing the prescription and then said, "A woman’s inability to have children is partly due to herself, and partly due to the man. If you want your sister to come for treatment, it is best to bring your brother-in-law as well. I never believe that a woman’s inability to have children is solely the woman’s fault."

Hearing Zhu Yanyi’s words, Marykiya pondered slightly. "My brother-in-law does not like doctors. However, you are right. No matter what, I must make my brother-in-law come. For twenty-one years, my sister has borne a lot of pressure. If it is not my sister’s fault, but my brother-in-law’s, I will have a serious talk with their family."

Zhu Yanyi just smiled. This was a common phenomenon in rural areas of Huaxia. Many people believed that the inability to have children was always the woman’s issue, never considering that men could also have problems. However, Zhu Yanyi would not comment much on this issue. In her view, if the patient came, she would help treat them. If the patient did not come, she would not speak much about their privacy.

Zhu Yanyi checked the time. About half an hour had passed. She then removed the needles, disinfected the gold needles, and put them away. She handed the prescription she had just written to Marykiya. "This prescription can nourish your body. Take it once a day. When you feel your body has improved, you can take it once every two days, then once every three days, gradually reducing the frequency. Do not stop abruptly. Any illness recovery is a process."

"Thank you, Doctor," Marykiya stood up and thanked Zhu Yanyi.

This was a genuine thank you. When she arrived, she had been pushed in a wheelchair. Now, she could walk back. Yuan Ha was overjoyed. "Mom, you are really better."

Marykiya said directly, "I am better now, but I still need to take medicine. Here is the prescription." She handed it to her son.

Yuan Ha carefully put it away. "I will send you home first, then go to the pharmacy to get the medicine." Seeing his mother achieve such good results in just one visit, he was very happy.

Marykiya nodded. "Let’s go home. I also need to call your aunt."

Yuan Ha had no objections. He knew why his mother wanted to call his aunt, so he happily sent his mother home first, then went to get the medicine.

Zhu Yanyi’s actions that day did not require any promotion. The entire Shaojia Town knew about it. So, starting the next day, the number of patients seemed to gradually increase.

"My knees always hurt. People say I have old cold bones, but our place is always hot. When has it ever been cold?" One patient named Hama pointed to his knees.

Zhu Yanyi first took her pulse, then said, "Twenty years ago, Uncle, you must have worked in a place with water, where you were immersed in water for long periods, right?"

"Doctor, you are so amazing. Did you investigate my life?" Hama asked curiously.

Zhu Yanyi shook her head slightly. "I did not investigate your life. I am a doctor, not a detective. Why would I investigate your life? I drew this conclusion based on your pulse and physical condition. You have rheumatic bone disease. However, in recent years, you have been slowly recovering. This is mainly because this place has little water. Although you feel more comfortable year by year, the root cause has not been removed, so you still feel uncomfortable occasionally, right?"

"Yes, Doctor, you are truly divine. I did not even describe my condition, yet you restored my situation completely, as if you were me," Hama said with an expression of disbelief.

"I am a doctor, so I naturally know how to diagnose illnesses. If I did not know how to diagnose, how could I treat you?" Zhu Yanyi went into the medical vehicle, took out some medicinal plasters, and applied them to Hama.

"This plaster needs to be kept on for seventy-two hours. After seventy-two hours, use a hot towel to compress the plaster. The plaster skin will fall off automatically. Do not pull it hard, as it will damage the skin," Zhu Yanyi instructed. "Also, during these seventy-two hours, if your knees itch, you must endure it. This means your knees are healing. Do not scratch them."

"Okay, I remember," Hama said immediately.

After applying the plaster, Zhu Yanyi moved on to the next patient.

Another day passed, and Yuan Ha brought a man and a woman. The woman looked somewhat like Marykiya. Zhu Yanyi knew at a glance that this must be Marykiya’s younger sister.

"Doctor, my mom asked me to bring my aunt and uncle," Yuan Ha said seriously to Zhu Yanyi.

Zhu Yanyi nodded. "I understand." Then she said to them, "Do you want to be treated here, or in the medical vehicle?"

Seeing their confused expressions, Zhu Yanyi smiled gently. "If you stay here, although there is no one now, people will eventually know you are seeing a doctor. The medical vehicle can better ensure your privacy."

"Let’s go to the medical vehicle," Yuan Ha’s uncle, Geloda, said seriously. They preferred not to let people see them for this illness.

"Then let’s go to the medical vehicle," Yuan Ha’s aunt, Wan’ercha, also agreed.

Zhu Yanyi nodded, asked others to take care of things here, and then led the couple into the medical vehicle. She first took Wan’ercha’s pulse, then Geloda’s.

After taking both pulses, Zhu Yanyi asked them to sit down and said, "Ms. Wan’ercha’s body has no major issues. However, over the years, you have taken various medicines, leading to some medicinal toxins in your body. As the saying goes, all medicines have some toxicity. Therefore, to conceive, you must first remove these medicinal toxins. This is not a big deal. I will write a prescription for you later. You just need to soak your feet every day. Soaking your feet can stimulate all your acupoints and meridians, allowing the medicinal toxins to slowly be excreted through your daily sweat and urine. You do not need to take any medicine. The problem lies with Mr. Geloda."

"What is wrong with me?" Geloda’s eyes widened, looking particularly fierce. He never admitted to having an illness. "My body is strong and sturdy. I can carry a sheep without any problem."

"This has nothing to do with your strength," Zhu Yanyi said calmly. "You probably like drinking and smoking. Long-term drinking and smoking have made your vital energy shallow. In other words, your seed is somewhat thin, which is why Ms. Wan’ercha cannot conceive."

"Nonsense, my body is very healthy," Geloda refused to admit this was his fault.

"I am a doctor. I have no reason to lie to you. Moreover, if there is an illness, there is an illness. If there is no illness, there is no illness. I do not need to deliberately please you by saying you are healthy. This would be irresponsible to my medical skills and to yourselves," Zhu Yanyi’s voice was not loud, but it carried great authority. These words directly suppressed Geloda’s arrogance.

"Then, can my husband be treated?" Ms. Wan’ercha asked.

Zhu Yanyi nodded. "Of course. First, you must stop smoking and drinking. This is a must. Second, you need to take medicine for nourishment. During the nourishment period, you must not have marital relations."

Zhu Yanyi said this without any special meaning, but to Geloda and her wife, it added a touch of shyness.

Seeing their red faces, Zhu Yanyi raised her eyebrows slightly. "I am a doctor. In a doctor’s eyes, there are only patients. So, you do not need to feel embarrassed about this. Moreover, you are husband and wife. Marital relations are a very normal thing."

Hearing this, Wan’ercha suppressed her shyness and said, "Then how long does my husband need to be treated to recover?"

"Rest well, quit smoking and drinking, and take medicine for nourishment. In about half a year, it should be fine," Zhu Yanyi said calmly.

Then, Zhu Yanyi wrote two prescriptions on the side and handed them to Geloda. "The prescription labeled Number One should be taken first. One dose per day, boiled three times, taken after meals. The duration is half a month. After half a month, start taking the prescription labeled Number Two. Take it before going to bed every night, one dose per day, until half a year is up. At that time, you can go to the hospital for a test. Basically, everything will return to normal. Of course, if you do not trust others, you can call this number and come to me. I will give you a follow-up examination." Zhu Yanyi finished speaking and handed them a business card.

The business card had no name, only a phone number.

However, Geloda carefully put it away. Based on his sister-in-law’s situation, he knew that this doctor before him was not to be underestimated.

"Doctor, are you leaving this place?" Wan’ercha asked curiously.

Zhu Yanyi said calmly, "I never stay in one place for more than a week. Tomorrow will be my week here, so after tomorrow, I will leave."

"Doctor, can we find you using this phone number in the future?" Wan’ercha asked.

Zhu Yanyi nodded. "Yes, you can find me using this phone number. However, I am a traveling doctor, so I may not always be near you. I might be in other cities. Therefore, if you want to find me, you must arrange everything at home first. I stay in each city for no more than a month."

Zhu Yanyi would not stop her steps. It was not for the sake of mystery, but because the patients in each place were different.

"Oh." Although Wan’ercha wanted to befriend Zhu Yanyi, she knew that if Zhu Yanyi said she was leaving, she would truly leave.

Geloda then thanked her seriously. "Thank you, Divine Doctor."

When Geloda said "Divine Doctor," Wan’ercha suddenly said, "By the way, the spirit projection has been reporting recently about a Divine Doctor who travels around the country with a medical vehicle, bringing good news to patients. Could this person be you?"

Zhu Yanyi raised her eyebrows slightly, then smiled. "If I am not mistaken, it should be me."

Zhu Yanyi did not care about being high-profile or low-profile. It did not matter if others did not know, and it did not matter if they did.

Hearing Zhu Yanyi’s words, Wan’ercha’s eyes lit up. She said directly, "Divine Doctor, please rest assured. We will definitely follow your medical advice and nourish our bodies well."

After treating them, Zhu Yanyi sent them out. She found a person sitting in the patient waiting area outside. The person was dressed strangely, wearing loose clothes that covered their entire body, appearing particularly eerie.

"Shaman," Wan’ercha recognized this person.

Shaman? Zhu Yanyi raised her eyebrows slightly. She did not expect it to be the local shaman.

Zhu Yanyi did not mind whether this person was a shaman or not. She only said to Wan’ercha, "Alright, go back and get the medicine. Nourish your bodies well. There will be good news next year."

"Okay, thank you, Divine Doctor." Wan’ercha and Geloda thanked Zhu Yanyi and left.

After they left, Zhu Yanyi sat in her seat and looked at the shaman. "Seeing a doctor? Taking a pulse?"

The shaman’s face was covered, revealing only a pair of eyes. The eyes looked at Zhu Yanyi. These eyes seemed to speak. If it were an ordinary person, they might be bewitched by these eyes. However, Zhu Yanyi was not an ordinary person. She raised her eyebrows slightly, looking at the shaman. "You are a woman, and I am a woman. Trying to charm me is a waste of energy and ineffective."

The shaman looked at Zhu Yanyi and said, "I heard that your medical skills are very high."

"So, do you want to have a medical duel with me?" Zhu Yanyi looked at the shaman. "Are you sure you want to duel with me?"

The shaman snorted. "I just want to know what makes you worthy of others’ praise."

Zhu Yanyi was too lazy to talk to this person. She said directly, "I am also too lazy to say anything to you. If you want to talk about a duel, you must first pass the obstacles I have set. If you pass, I will duel with you."

"What obstacles?" The shaman looked at Zhu Yanyi, surprised that she had to pass obstacles before dueling.

Zhu Yanyi smiled faintly. "It is very simple. Are you not a shaman? I will cast a shaman curse on you. If you break it, you can duel with me."
