Li Yundong admittedly harbored some doubts: why had Zhou Qin suddenly improved? Why not earlier, or later, but precisely at this moment?

Moreover, when he channeled his zhenqi into her, he distinctly felt that the stagnant blood within her had completely dispersed, and the tumor had vanished. She should have recovered yesterday or the day before; why today?

But the thought was fleeting. The moment Li Yundong saw an old woman decades his senior collapse onto her knees before him, he panicked slightly. There was no time to ponder anything else. He quickly rushed forward to help her up. "Grandmother, please get up, I certainly cannot accept such a bow from you."

Old Mrs. Xu was short, clad in a thin, blue single garment that made her look frail, wearing cloth shoes. Her face set in stubbornness, she declared, "Little Divine Doctor, if you agree to examine me, I will rise!"

Li Yundong managed a wry smile. "Alright, alright, I will take a look for you."

Zhou Keqiang, standing nearby, had witnessed Zhou Qin stand up, but the event was too incredible. An anomaly suggests the supernatural. He absolutely refused to believe that Li Yundong had cured Zhou Qin. As a former high-ranking official steeped in atheism, the idea of a doctor curing someone in just two or three days was unthinkable. If such a person existed, wouldn't he be akin to a living immortal?

Zhou Keqiang watched Li Yundong with suspicion, eager to see how this young man would proceed with the examination.

By then, patients from other wards, along with curious nurses and the head nurse, crowded into the room until it was packed, every pair of eyes fixed wide on Li Yundong.

Li Yundong, accustomed to major scenes, paid them little mind. He helped Old Mrs. Xu sit in a chair, took her pulse, and began to inquire about her condition.

Although Li Yundong had cured Zhou Qin, it was because his method was precisely targeted, resulting in a rapid effect. But believing himself to be a true divine doctor was something Li Yundong himself did not accept.

If reading a few medical texts qualified one as a doctor capable of curing all ailments, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) would have already dominated the world; Western medicine wouldn't have been allowed to encroach upon its territory.

Li Yundong initially felt a pang of unease. But as he felt Old Mrs. Xu’s pulse, sending his zhenqi probing into her body and quickly scanning her meridians and viscera, he instantly gained confidence. He smiled. "Old lady, if I am not mistaken, you often feel extremely fatigued, don't you?"

Old Mrs. Xu blinked in surprise. "Yes, how did you know?"

Li Yundong smiled again. "Do your knees, ankles, and arms ache with rheumatism whenever it's damp or rainy?"

Old Mrs. Xu looked utterly amazed. "Hey, you really are a Little Divine Doctor! I didn't call you that in vain. How did you know?"

Li Yundong chuckled. "When you were young, you likely broke your left arm, didn't you?"

Old Mrs. Xu slapped her thigh with force and exclaimed loudly, "Miraculous! Truly miraculous! How did you know, young man!" Realizing she had spoken somewhat disrespectfully, she quickly added with a laugh, "Oh dear, I am an old woman and speak too quickly; please don't take offense!"

Li Yundong laughed heartily and continued his inquiry. "In the few days you’ve been in the hospital, do you often suffer from diarrhea right after eating?"

Old Mrs. Xu’s mouth hung wide open, staring at Li Yundong, momentarily speechless.

The surrounding crowd also watched them, murmuring amongst themselves. Some whispered, "This young man might actually have some genuine skill!"

Others called out loudly, "Hey, are you diagnosing or fortune-telling!"

Some malicious individuals attempted to disrupt things, declaring, "Hey, isn't this person just an actor you hired?"

Li Yundong ignored them, still smiling at Old Mrs. Xu. "You must find it incredible how I know so much about you. Have I perhaps inquired about your situation beforehand?"

Old Mrs. Xu nodded vigorously, like a chick pecking at grain. "Yes, yes, how did you know?"

Li Yundong explained with a smile. "I asked if you were fatigued because I discovered your two Kidneys are severely depleted, akin to a dried-up well, aged beyond measure. The Kidney is the source of human vitality. If the Kidneys are weak, a person lacks strength, constantly feeling listless and weak. Therefore, I inferred that you must often lack energy and tire easily in your daily life."

"Furthermore, accumulated Dampness Xie has settled around your knees, ankles, and arms—ailments left over from not being careful when you were younger. I noticed the Dampness around your left arm is particularly severe. Dampness generally congregates near the joints connecting bones and meridians, or where injuries have occurred. Most of the time, they stay near the skeletal joints, but if a person is injured anywhere, the Dampness converges there. Since your arm was broken, this particular Dampness remained at the site of the wound."

"If this Dampness is not expelled, it will accumulate more and more. That is why you certainly suffer excruciating rheumatic pain on damp, rainy days, isn't it?" Li Yundong said with a smile.

Old Mrs. Xu sighed in satisfaction, clapping her hands heavily. "I am convinced, young man! I now believe you are a genuine Little Divine Doctor! But tell me, how did you see that I sometimes get diarrhea after eating these past few days?"

Li Yundong smiled. "When I was feeling your pulse just now, I found that your Spleen is not functioning well. The Spleen is the great housekeeper of the body; if it falters, other organs will also suffer because it manages nutrient transportation. I noticed you are dressed so lightly, and it is now the beginning of Autumn. You have almost certainly caught a chill from the wind without realizing it at times. Once the Spleen is chilled, people easily suffer diarrhea. Even young people can injure their Spleen by eating too much spicy or cold food at once, causing diarrhea."

Old Mrs. Xu raised her thumb high. "Remarkable! Truly remarkable! To be so capable at such a young age—truly, heroes emerge from the youth!"

The onlookers began to murmur again. Some whispered, "This young man looks so young, how can he be so skilled?"

"Hmph, he talks a beautiful game, but if he can't cure it, it's all for nothing, isn't it?"

"Quiet, keep listening. See if he has a solution. If he can cure this old woman, I'll ask him to treat me too!"

Zhou Qin glared disapprovingly at those who spoke critically about the onlookers’ cold remarks, but Li Yundong appeared not to have heard them at all. He addressed Old Mrs. Xu, "Old lady, if I haven't guessed wrong, you were hospitalized due to conditions like cerebral thrombosis or high blood pressure, right?"

This statement was like a sword strike from an ethereal being, the leap in logic leaving everyone bewildered, causing the surrounding people to exchange glances.

Old Mrs. Xu was also stunned and asked, confused. "Little Divine Doctor, didn't you just say my Kidneys and Spleen were weak? Why are you suddenly saying I'm hospitalized for high blood pressure and cerebral thrombosis?"

Li Yundong chuckled. "There is a saying in TCM: 'All illnesses originate from the Kidney,' and another: 'When Kidney Qi is sufficient, all hundred diseases vanish.' I see that your Kidney depletion is severe, so naturally, your Kidneys are weak. If the Kidneys are weak, almost any ailment could develop. Furthermore, the Liver and Kidney are intrinsically linked; at your age, if the Kidneys are poor, the Liver is likely not far behind. When the Liver suffers, it easily generates Empty Fire. When Empty Fire flares up, people tend to become quick-tempered, and anger naturally leads to agitation. For someone your age to have issues with the Liver, Kidney, and Spleen among the Five Zang organs, your meridians certainly won't be in good shape. Once agitated, high blood pressure and cerebral thrombosis are likely consequences."

"If you only had rheumatism or diarrhea, you probably wouldn't be hospitalized. Thus, I estimate you have other primary issues that led to your admission," Li Yundong stated, smiling. "Am I correct?"

Old Mrs. Xu gaped at Li Yundong. "You... you truly are divine! The doctors needed to take scans to find out what was wrong with me, yet you, so young, can look at me and feel my pulse and immediately know all my problems! This—this is truly astonishing! I really was admitted for high blood pressure! Incredible, you are too incredible!"

The crowd erupted into an uproar, chattering loudly. "Wow, he's amazing! He knew her illness just by looking and feeling her pulse!"

Some subconsciously tried to feel their own pulses, but all they felt was a mere beat-beat, unable to discern anything meaningful, prompting them to wonder. "How did he feel it? I can't feel anything!"

Someone nearby mocked them immediately. "If you could feel it, would you even be in this hospital?"

Another sighed, "How can this young man be so skilled at such a tender age?"

But there were also those consumed by jealousy, who sniffed sourly, "He's talked a lot, but he hasn't mentioned any treatment method. What good is diagnosing if you can't cure?"

As they were jabbering, Li Yundong smiled and began to speak again. His voice wasn't loud, but it was deep and magnetically resonant; no matter how loud the crowd was, their ears could always clearly catch his voice.

As Li Yundong began to speak, the noise subsided, and everyone listened intently.

Li Yundong said, "I’ve explained so much; Old lady, you must be anxious to know what method I have to cure you, right?"

Old Mrs. Xu, seeing Li Yundong's gentle, knowing smile, felt a mixture of shock and delight. "Little Divine Doctor, could you possibly have a way to cure me?"

Li Yundong chuckled. "In the view of Western Medicine (WM), this disease, though acute, is often treated superficially; they patch leaks but never fix the source. However, TCM often traces back to the root. As long as we heal your Kidneys, your other ailments, even if they don't vanish completely, will certainly improve far beyond their previous state."

Li Yundong extended his hand and said lightly, "Please forgive any offense," placing his palm on the old woman’s crown. "Talk is cheap; now I will let you see the results."

With that, Li Yundong channeled his zhenqi, pouring his purest and most potent Yuanyang True Qi into Old Mrs. Xu’s body.

Old Mrs. Xu’s body was severely depleted, like a hollowed-out tree trunk, lacking Yuan Qi the most. Li Yundong, however, possessed an excess of Yuan Qi. He was like a millionaire plucking a single hair from his body to give to the poor Old Mrs. Xu—though it wouldn't make her suddenly wealthy, it would at least lift her from destitution.

Old Mrs. Xu felt a warm current rush from the crown of her head straight down, like someone pouring a basin of hot water over her. This hot water flowed down her spine, then unexpectedly bifurcated at her lower back, flowing toward her two Kidneys.

At that moment, Old Mrs. Xu felt her two hollowed-out Kidneys suddenly fill with hot water, like two hot water bottles—warm and swelling, as if a depleted dam had refilled. Soon after, the dam slowly opened its sluice gates, distributing water to every dry and depleted part of her body according to its needs.

This vast surge of warmth flooded toward all areas of Old Mrs. Xu’s body, driving out previously accumulated Dampness.

The onlookers watched as Li Yundong held his hand on the old woman’s head. After a short while, her complexion grew rosy. A moment later, faint wisps of white vapor began to rise from the top of her head. A few moments after that, someone gasped in surprise to see that the wrinkles on Old Mrs. Xu's face seemed to have diminished, and her previously dull, yellow eyes had become clear and bright.

After about a minute or two, Li Yundong removed his hand and asked with a smile, "How do you feel? I have just expelled the Dampness from your body."

Old Mrs. Xu rose in disbelief, her eyes wide as she stared at Li Yundong. She clenched her fist in disbelief, realizing her strength had instantly increased significantly. She tried jumping a few times and found her legs and feet were suddenly sturdy. She exclaimed in shock, "I... I feel like I've instantly become ten years younger!"

The surrounding crowd stared at Old Mrs. Xu, dumbfounded. Even a blind person could see the change; just moments ago, she was hunched over, looking seventy or eighty, but now she appeared closer to fifty or sixty!

Even those who had held opinions against Li Yundong were silenced, for facts spoke louder than arguments!

In their eyes, Li Yundong diagnosed her condition merely by looking and touching, and in less than two minutes, he achieved a miraculous revival, making Old Mrs. Xu look a decade younger, as if returning to youth. Such skill was truly akin to immortality!

Witnessing Old Mrs. Xu's transformation, they could hold back no longer and began shouting in unison. "Little Divine Doctor, Little Divine Doctor, examine me too!" With that, they surged toward Li Yundong like a tide.
