Chapter 241: Chapter 241: Double Dragons Probe for the Acupoint
“Conditions? What conditions?”
Lin Dong reflexively asked.
“The condition is that I hope you, Young Miracle Doctor, would consider taking my granddaughter Qingdai as your disciple,” Old Divine Doctor Li Qingyang laughingly said.
“This…”
Lin Dong fell silent.
This Old Divine Doctor Li Qingyang, why was he so persistent about this apprenticeship matter?
Before, he himself wanted to beco a disciple of Lin Dong!
However, after Lin Dong tactfully refused, Li Qingyang probably felt that his age indeed made it inappropriate.
So, he gave up on that request.
But now, he was proposing soone else, hoping to have his granddaughter beco Lin Dong’s disciple.
Lin Dong found the situation sowhat amusing yet frustrating.
Taking on a disciple was a serious matter, and even though he was being offered the Hundred Years Tai Sui in exchange, Lin Dong still needed to give it proper consideration.
“Grandpa, I don’t want to beco his disciple at all! He isn’t even older than , asking
to take him as a master, isn’t that a joke?” Lin Dong hadn’t even agreed, but Li Qingdai was already declining the offer.
Hearing her words, Old Miracle Doctor Li Qingyang said with disappointnt in his voice:
“Qingdai, in our Chinese dicine World, competence dictates mastership!”
“Whose dical arts are superior, who can cure the sickness, that person is the senior, and that person can be the master. How can you make age an issue!”
“But grandpa, I don’t think his dical skills are better than mine,” grumbled Li Qingdai. “Unless he could compete with
and convince , heart and soul!”
Old Divine Doctor Li Qingyang looked to Lin Dong sowhat embarrassingly, hoping he would step in to deflate his granddaughter’s arrogance.
But Lin Dong just shook his head, saying:
“Divine Doctor Li, taking her as a disciple, I think let’s forget it. Considering her as an apprentice, however, could be an option!”
Disciple and apprentice were two entirely different concepts.
In the inheritance of Chinese dicine, a disciple symbolizes the heir of the lineage, and one would only take on a disciple if they were extrely satisfied with the person.
Inheritance was no laughing matter.
Thus, taking on a disciple required utmost caution.
An apprentice, on the other hand, was soone who did miscellaneous tasks. So the requirents weren’t as high!
Of course, if the apprentice perford exceptionally well, there was still a chance for them to be promoted to a disciple.
Old Miracle Doctor Li Qingyang hurriedly said upon hearing this: “An apprentice is fine too.”
For the first ti, Li Qingdai felt belittled, she laughed angrily:
“An apprentice? You want
to be your apprentice?”
“Hahaha, you actually believe that I don’t even qualify to be your disciple and can only be your apprentice!”
“Alright then, you talk big, dare you compete with ? If I lose, what’s being your apprentice to .”
“Do you really want to compete with ?” Lin Dong countered.
“Of course! Because I want to expose you and let grandpa see your true colors!” sneered Li Qingdai.
“Okay, I agree to compete with you!” Lin Dong nodded.
dicine King’s interest was piqued upon seeing Lin Dong agree to compete with Li Qingdai.
He had always just heard from Li Qingyang how extraordinary this kid was but hadn’t witnessed him in action. Now that he was agreeing to compete with Li Qingdai, he would get a firsthand look.
“Good, you finally dare to accept a competition with ! If I lose this dical competition, then I’ll listen to my grandpa and beco your apprentice.”
“But if I win, hmph, then please just quit the dical field altogether. Stop showing off and cheating!” Li Qingdai said indignantly.
“Suit yourself!” Lin Dong replied indifferently.
“Good, how shall we compete?” asked Li Qingdai.
Lin Dong pondered for a mont, “Your grandpa is revered as the Needle King, and you, his granddaughter, must be most adept at acupuncture, right?”
“Of course, I started learning dicine at the age of five, practiced acupuncture at eight, by twelve, I was curing patients with acupuncture all by myself, at eighteen, I could hold my own in a clinic, and at twenty-three, I was recognized as an acupuncture expert…” Li Qingdai recounted her illustrious past.
Lin Dong nodded: “Okay, since you’re most skilled at acupuncture, let’s compete in acupuncture!”
“Are you sure?”
“Absolutely!”
“Fine, let’s compete in our acupuncture techniques! My grandpa also said you could control needles with Qi, but I don’t believe it. I will soon unveil your lie!”
“To compete with you, why would I need to resort to Controlling Needles with Qi!”
“Stop the nonsense, let’s get started now.”
After finishing their conversation, the two stopped talking.
A group of people headed for the dicine King Hall store.
At the mont in the store, other traditional Chinese doctors were seeing patients, and there were quite a few patients as well.
The appearance of dicine King and Old Miracle Doctor Li Qingyang naturally caused quite a stir.
The two of them were famous doctors within the province.
The types that frequently appeared on Traditional Chinese dicine lectures.
dicine King stepped forward and spoke with the patients.
Soon, volunteers ca forward.
dicine King then addressed Lin Dong and Li Qingdai:
“So for the upcoming dical competition, the rules are quite simple. In front of you, you each have five patients, use your acupuncture skills to cure their sickness.”
“Whoever has better healing results wins!”
Upon hearing this, Li Qingdai nodded and took her acupuncture bag that she carried with her.
Then, without wasting words, she walked straight to the first patient and began the diagnosis.
“What’s bothering you?”
Li Qingdai asked the patient.
“My back hurts, it’s a lumbar disc herniation!” The patient clutched his back as he spoke.
“Alright, take off your shirt and lie down there.”
Li Qingdai instructed the patient to disrobe and lie down, then walked to his side, took out a silver needle, and began the acupuncture treatnt.
She was extrely skilled in treating lumbar disc herniation with acupuncture.
Every ti she would take out two filiform needles of the sa size, her left and right hands each holding one, then skillfully sterilize them before simultaneously inserting the needles.
The two silver needles, like double dragons probing for the acupoint, would hover beside the acupoint, and then quickly and precisely enter it!
“Swish, swish!”
The two needles entered the acupoint simultaneously, and the patient didn’t even feel any pain, achieving this was already at the level of an acupuncture expert.
Seeing this, Lin Dong was sowhat surprised and couldn’t help but speak up:
“This is the Double Dragons Probe for the Acupoint technique, I didn’t expect you to know this!”
