Chapter Thirty-One: The Remedy Cures the Illness

The group returned to the corridor outside the hospital room, and this time, those from the Zhao family could no longer sit still.

“I believe this matter must be connected to Yuan Hongyu. He must have realized he was bound to lose, so he tried to resort to some underhanded trick, but in the end, it backfired and harmed the patient!”

“That’s right, it must be so. Otherwise, given our master’s skill, it would have been impossible for such a result to occur!”

“Everyone, please come in!”

The room was already crowded to the brim. At the foot of the bed, a circle of people had gathered, each a renowned medical authority whose name alone would command respect in any region.

Their presence was weighty indeed.

“Gentlemen, please take a look!”

As soon as the words fell, the elder of the Zhao family turned his gaze to the bed and immediately fell into a state of shock.

He murmured, “Impossible, this is impossible. How could this be the outcome? How could this possibly happen…”

He could not believe the scene before his eyes.

For the patient who had been in a coma just a short while ago was now sitting upright on the bed, complexion rosy, engaged in lively conversation with a young nurse by his side, reporting on his physical condition.

As for Yan Yuanqing, a glint of intrigue flashed in his eyes.

“Yuan Hongyu, what do you think? The Taiyi Divine Needle, not a bad result, is it?”

Yuan Hongyu replied with heartfelt gratitude.

“Indeed, to have the assistance of the Taiyi Divine Needle—I cannot thank you enough, Master!”

“Haha, it was a trifling matter for me, nothing much to lose. To help you was well worth it!”

At this moment, Yuan Hongyu was trembling with excitement.

For he knew all too well what harm it could cause to the original wielders of the Taiyi Divine Needle if he alone established a connection with it.

“Thank you, Master! I shall be forever grateful for your immense kindness!”

“That’s enough, no need for formalities. Just remember, this matter—you accomplished it alone. Make sure these people get lost and go home!”

“Yes, Master!”

“Gentlemen, how do you explain this? Which of you accomplished this feat?”

The director of the Central Hospital asked with a smile. To witness such a miracle in person was a rare privilege for him.

While the Zhao family elder hesitated, Yuan Hongyu stepped forward.

“It was I. In half an hour, I helped the patient by clearing his meridians, resolving the blockage of liver energy and stagnation of kidney water, and allowed his defensive qi to circulate throughout the body.”

“In the end, I achieved the effect of internal yang radiating outward and the harmony of yin and yang, which enabled the patient to regain consciousness within half an hour!”

Yuan Hongyu spoke with conviction, and his words carried an air of profound mystery.

The director nodded thoughtfully.

But just then, the elder of the Zhao family suddenly erupted.

“Impossible! No one could achieve all of this in just thirty minutes!”

“No one possesses such abilities—and you certainly could not have done it! The patient’s recovery must be related to the treatment I administered earlier!”

How could the Zhao family elder allow Yuan Hongyu to steal the credit? That would be tantamount to declaring defeat in this challenge. Compared to writing prescriptions and devising treatment strategies, a direct and rapid recovery of the patient clearly held an overwhelming advantage!

“Heh, you say it’s impossible? That’s merely the view of a frog at the bottom of a well, a sign of narrow experience. How do you know what is possible?”

“Director, before we each entered the ward, the patient’s vital data should have been continuously recorded by medical instruments. Would you please reveal the results?”

The director smiled gently.

“Haha, of course. To ensure fairness in this competition, we’ve monitored the patient’s condition at all times with our equipment.”

“According to our data, the exact moment the patient regained consciousness coincided with the conclusion of Doctor Yuan’s treatment and his departure from the room.”

“So, there is no doubt that the final victor is Doctor Yuan!”
