Medical Master

After transcribing the entire prescription, Fang Qiu knew immediately why this prescription could treat this illness, what roles each ingredient played, and what train of thought was adopted to treat the symptoms.

Very soon, he finished.

The prescription was given to Feng Xuexin.

Feng Xuexin began transcribing. After, he went to get the medicine for the patient.

Xu Miaolin remained there receiving patients.

And Fang Qiu sat right next to him, transcribing.

After seeing five or six patients, another woman came to the clinic with very similar symptoms.

Xu Miaolin conducted the four diagnoses carefully and gave a similar prescription.

“Yeah.” Fang Qiu nodded and answered, “Based on the current situation, the symptoms of these patients seem like mandala poisoning.”

He remembered it well.

It was recorded clearly in the “Canon of Poison” gifted by Zhang Xinming that mandala was a highly toxic plant with poison in its flowers, leaves, stems, roots, and seeds. The toxin in the seeds was the strongest. It would be absorbed by mouth and gastric mucous membrane within half an hour to two hours after consumption and the poisoning symptoms would appear.

Patients suffering from mandala poisoning might become emotionally agitated with other symptoms.

Just then…

“Help me… ”

“What are you doing? Don’t beat me!”

“Why don’t you talk?”

The man tied up by a bed sheet began shouting all of a sudden as soon as he was pinned down on a bench.

“It is extremely serious. We can’t afford any delay.”

Xu Miaolin immediately started.

“Master Xu.”

Fang Qiu hurriedly shouted with a very serious face, “Let me do it.”

Xu Miaolin was surprised.

Gazing at Fang Qiu, he suddenly came to some realization and asked, “Are you sure?”

Fang Qiu nodded.

“Okay.”

Xu Miaolin took one step back immediately.

Seeing this, Feng Xuexin was startled.

The situation was critical. There were 13 patients and all of them looked severe.

In such an urgent situation, how could Xu Miaolin leave the diagnosis and treatment to Fang Qiu?

“Uncle Xu, you…” asked Feng Xuexin.

“Don’t worry.”

Xu Miaolin locked his eyes on Fang Qiu as he added, “Fang Qiu has more means than me when it comes to treating poisoning.”

He knew it well that Fang Qiu might be the only poison doctor in this world after Zhang Xinming.

After receiving and studying the “Canon of Poison”, he became inferior to no one other than Zhang Xinming when it came to treating poison.

“What?”

Hearing Xu Miaolin’s words, Feng Xuexin pointed at Fang Xiu, obviously shocked. “Him? He has more means than you?”

He kept a close on Fang Qiu who had already begun his treatment.

He couldn’t believe that Fang Qiu was better than Xu Miaolin in treating poison. Xu Miaolin was a highly-skilled doctor after all.

After a careful inquiry, Fang Qiu began to feel the patient’s pulse and check his pupils by force

He collected every detail of the patients and nothing was left out.

“As expected.”

Fang Qiu finished reading symptoms and said with certainty, “They all have symptoms of mandala poisoning.”

After the diagnosis, the related chapter of the “Canon of Poison” appeared in his head.

The “Canon of Poison” was not all about fighting poison with poison. It also contained various treatment for poisoning.

He walked over to the consultation table and began writing a prescription.

“3 qian of honeysuckle, 5 qian of suqiao, 1 liang of mung beans, 1 liang of Sichuan lotus, 3 qian of raw rhubarb, 4 qian of dragon teeth, 2 qian of yuanzhi, and 2 qian of raw licorice.”

Once it was finished, Fang Qiu rose at once and turned to Feng Xuexin, “Junior Xin, what is the ratio between qian and gram?”

“1 qian is 3.125 gram.”

Feng Xuexin answered at once…

Fang Qiu nodded and passed the prescription to Feng Xuexin immediately. “Sorry for the trouble. Please measure the ingredients according to the prescription. Don’t make any mistake.”

“Sure. It will be exact.”

Feng Xuexin took a look at the prescription and immediately ran into the medicine cabinet for an ancient medicine scale from the counter.

After a close look, he found this medicine scale used the measuring unit of qian!

After placing the scale, Feng Xuexin began to measure medicine.

Very soon, when Fang Qiu and Xu Miaolin were comforting those patients’ colleagues and observing each patient’s symptoms, Feng Xuexin ran to the backyard to cook the medicine.

Once it was cooked, Feng Xuexin cooled down the medicine with cold water as Fang Qiu ordered. Then they worked together to pin the patients down and pour the medicine into their mouth one after another.

Once the medicine was poured into their mouth, those manic, struggling patients instantly calmed down. All those symptoms gradually vanished.

Seeing this, Feng Xuexin glared with his eyes opened wide.

This good?

One dose of medicine subdued all these mad patients?

He was shocked and turned to look at Fang Qiu.

In the meantime, Fang Qiu approached each patient one by one and massaged their chest with a very common technique of Chinese medical massage. In fact, Fang Qiu was secretly sending his internal Qi into the patients to help them absorb the medicine.

One minute for each patient.

13 minutes for 13 patients.

“Are they stable now?”

Xu Miaolin asked only after Fang Qiu had finished.

“Yeah, almost.”

Fang Qiu nodded and said, “It shouldn’t take more than a few for them to wake up.”

“Good.”

Xu Miaolin nodded gently.

“Seriously? A few minutes?”

Feng Xuexin looked at Fang Qiu in disbelief and said, “According to the patients’ symptoms, the toxin has entered their blood if it was really mandala poisoning. Are you sure it will only take a few minutes to detox?”

“Or what?”

Fang Qiu answered with a question.

Feng Xuexin was speechless.

It seemed very reasonable somehow to detox within a few minutes when it came from Fang Qiu.

“Aren’t you afraid of bragging too big?”

Sure enough, seven or eight minutes later, the 13 people who had lost their mind due to the poison slowly came around under everyone’s gaze.

Another ten minutes passed.

All the patients regained consciousness.

Their loose pupils became normal again, the redness in their skin vanished, and other symptoms like vomiting, struggling, shouting, and twitching all went away.

All thirteen of them became normal again.

Feng Xuexin was completedly stunned.

“Holy crap! They are cured!”

The relatives of those patients had tears of joy as the patients recovered. They thanked Fang Qiu again and again.

“A divine doctor! Thank you! Thank you! You really saved our family!”

“Thank you, doctor! Thank you, my divine doctor!”

Some patients’ relatives were about to kneel to Fang Qiu.

Fang Qiu stopped them quickly.

“I’m a doctor. It’s my duty to save my patients. It’s my duty. You don’t need to thank me.”

That being said, still, thanks kept coming.

The patients recovered. Fang Qiu reminded them of a few things before they took their leave.

After Fang Qiu seeing those patients off, Feng Xuexin rushed towards Fang Qiu and asked in shock, “How did you do this?”
