Chapter 575 - A Great Merit

Translator: Thyaeria

Although it seemed like an ordinary pat, Su Tao had used his Heavenseizing Hands in the process. In that instant, when he applied pressure on the core official’s shoulder muscle, the core official did not react since he often felt pain from that region.

“What’s going on?” Mr. Xue instantly panicked as he asked, “Sir looks to be in pain! He wouldn’t have anything happening to him, right?”

As Su Tao continued to pat two more times, a groan escaped the core official’s lips. Although it was still painful, it was already much better than before.

“The reason why the core official fell unconscious isn’t a big issue; he’s just having a stiff neck. His stiff neck would oppress his nervous system and veins circulating to his brain, this is why he felt dizzy and nauseous.”

It’s a condition that’s difficult to detect, to begin with, and that’s why conventional medical apparatuses failed to detect it. The outbreak was also sudden, in which the patient neglected his painful neck and only explained that he felt dizzy and nauseous. Hence, even though there were many western medicine doctors around, they couldn’t find the problem due to the emergency situation.

Then again, if more advanced and complicated medical apparatuses were used, they would be able to detect that the patient was having his nervous system oppressed and discover the stiff neck. However, the efficiency wouldn’t be as swift as Su Tao.

Although TCM was in a disadvantageous position when compared to western medicine when it comes to emergency treatment, they’re still holding an advantage when it comes to diagnosis.

All it took was for Su Tao to take a look at the patient’s neck for him to figure out the issue before verifying his speculation by pulse taking.

At this moment, Mr. Xue finally understood what’s going on. His superior would often suffer from stiff neck, which he had already been cautious and meticulous when taking care of the latter.

“I already paid attention on the plane and tried to make his resting posture as comfortable as possible. It is so much so that I even used medication that induces sleep and blood circulation. But how did this happen?” Mr. Xue spoke, blaming himself.

Su Tao continued to use his fingers to massage the patient’s neck. At this moment, the patient no longer felt pain. The damaged soft tissues on his neck had already been repaired by the massage. With the blood circulating smoothly, the patient no longer felt nausea.

“Please turn around!” Su Tao requested with a smile.

Just a moment ago, the core official was still suffering from immense pain. When he regained his consciousness at this moment, he instantly realised that it was this young man who relieved his pain. Hence, he followed Su Tao’s request and slowly turned his body with great difficulty.

Taking out a needle from his medical box, Su Tao inserted it into the Bailao Acupoint that’s meant to treat scrofula, cough, asthma, whooping cough, and neck rigidity.

This was also the acupoint that Su Tao wanted Yue Zun to perform acupuncture on his behalf.

Roughly two to three minutes later, the patient’s breathing stabilised so Su Tao removed the needle and nodded at the two.

Mr. Xue’s eyes exploded with admiration as he looked at Su Tao in a new light. He had seen many so-called “famous doctors”. For someone at his height, he understood the meaning of not judging a book by its cover. Hence, not only did he blame himself for his previous mistake, but he also inwardly made a note that he had to befriend someone like Su Tao.

Finally, the core official could sit up and swept his glance at Su Tao before softly said, “Thank you, Mr. Su, for your miracle and dragging me back from that hell.”

“Generally, the pain caused by having a stiff neck wouldn’t be so serious. I’ll give you a few prescriptions for you to nourish your body. You will be able to feel their effect swiftly, and it will slowly disappear.” Su Tao gently smiled.

With a flicker zapping through his eyes, the core figure exclaimed, “If that’s the case, then it’ll be great! This issue has already been troubling me for years. But since it’ll be fine after a night\'s sleep, I did not pay much attention to it.”

“There are many reasons that can lead to a stiff neck, and the common reason is due to sleeping posture. But for your case, it has something to do with your liver and kidney. In TCM’s terms, it’s called Weak Liver and Kidney Disease. You must’ve slept only a few hours when you were young for an extended period and even suffered a severe illness.” Su Tao patiently explained.

As the core official sighed, he reminisced with a bitter smile, “Life was tough back in the village up the mountains. Back then, I was tasked with guarding the mountain, in which I didn’t sleep much. When I returned, I fell ill. Back then, an old physician took a look at me and told me that it would leave behind a repercussion, which he advised me to take a medication periodically.”

Upon hearing those words, Su Tao instantly knew that it must be an expert so he speculated, “Did the prescription contain the rhizomes of anemarrhena and rehmannia glutinosa?”

Since the core official would often take this prescription, he naturally remembered it by heart. Looking at Su Tao with astonishment, he nodded his head. “That’s right; the prescription does contain those two herbs!”

Exclaiming with admiration, Su Tao replied, “You really have to thank that physician. It was his prescription that protected you for so many years. According to my knowledge, you must not have taken that prescription for a long time, and in addition to the stress on your body, this is the reason why the outbreak was so serious. I’ll give you a prescription, and if you take it along with the prescription given to you by that physician, it should bring a pretty good effect in two months.”

The Weak Liver and Kidney Disease weren’t tough to treat, but it was mainly due to severe damages that the core official suffered in his liver and kidney back then. In addition to the fact that he often had to stay up late, it slowly grew into a chronic disease. Although he had been taking medication, his body has also built up a certain resistance to the medicine. However, Su Tao did not reveal it, and if the core official took it with the new prescription, it would improve his liver and kidney.

The core official had a good impression of TCM. Although Su Tao was young, it proved his strength when he could deduce so much from just a few words. Hence, he was filled with admiration and gratitude in his heart.

If he fell ill as the leader of the representative team, it would lead to a series of chain effects. Not only would it affect the negotiation between the two countries, but it would also lead to a severe loss to related enterprises.

The meaning was significant for Su Tao to treat him, and it could be considered as treating the country. Then again, Su Tao did not consider so much at this point.

With a smear of sorrow between his brows, the core official said, “Five years ago, I specifically made a trip back to the village to seek that old physician. But it’s a pity that he has already passed away, and his children did not inherit his skills. Henceforth, the skills of a divine physician were lost in the world. Thinking about it now, TCM is truly profound, but it’s a pity that too few people have inherited its essence.”

“This is also related to the medical education system. Most youngsters would choose to go into western medicine and maintain a certain distance from TCM since they feel that TCM doesn’t have much potential.” Su Tao helplessly replied.

“I can tell that you’re shouldering the burden of reviving TCM. With someone as young as you protecting the traditional culture, it’s the fortune of the country. After our matters are done in Russia, we have to support this matter and promote TCM from various channels. We can’t let this national essence decline.” The core official smiled.

Since Mr. Xue would bring a notebook around with him, he instantly jotted everything down before looking at Su Tao with a complicated light. The latter’s luck was pretty good. Judging from his superior’s words, he would definitely promote a series of plans for TCM. Hence, regardless of Su Tao or those practising TCM, they would all benefit from it.

Since the core official had just been tortured by pain, his mental state wasn’t at its peak. Hence, Su Tao performed a full-body massage for the former, in which he fell asleep.

After Su Tao left the room, Yue Zun immediately came forth and smiled. “Little Su, I never expected that you would obtain a great merit for your first diplomatic activity.”

“It’s nothing much. It’s mainly due to TCM having an advantage when it comes to diagnosis. If you were able to make an accurate diagnosis, you would also be able to treat the patient.” Su Tao modestly smiled.

Bringing Su Tao over to his assistant, Yue Zun instructed, “In the future, you will be specifically responsible for coordinating with Mr. Su’s work.”

Hearing those words, the assistant was instantly dumbfounded. He had always been Yue Zun’s best assistant.

Truth be told, Yue Zun had some thoughts, he wanted his assistant to learn from Su Tao, which would definitely be a benefitting experience.

However, the assistant wore a bitter smile. The reason why his attitude was terrible towards Su Tao earlier was all due to Yue Zun backing him up.

Now that Yue Zun wanted him to work for Su Tao, didn’t that mean that he would have to listen to Su Tao’s orders and be bossed around, not to mention that Su Tao could also take revenge on him.

“Martial Uncle, I have been someone that enjoys freedom, so I’m really not used to having someone following me around. Therefore, I appreciate your goodwill.” Su Tao thanked, sincerely.

When the assistant heard those words, he sighed out in relief. After all, it would be much easier for him to follow Yue Zun, whom he was familiar with.

Sending a quick glance at his assistant, Yue Zun instantly figured out that his assistant must have offended Su Tao earlier, based on his observation skills. Thus, it’s truly inappropriate to forcefully put the two of them together.

Waving his hand at a female assistant, Yue Zun instructed, “Bring Mr. Su to his room.”

Su Tao glanced at the female assistant. This was a woman in her late twenties with a delicate appearance. At the same time, Su Tao found it hilarious in his heart. He only had to take a lift, so was there a need to have such a beautiful assistant escorting him? Was Yue Zun afraid that he might lose his way?

But after a brief pondering, Su Tao knew that Yue Zun was doing this to show the entire medical team that Su Tao was second-in-charge, and none of them could neglect his existence.

After Su Tao disappeared into the elevator, Yue Zun glared at his assistant and unhappily said, “Did you upset Mr. Su?”

Being questioned, the assistant instantly started to burst out into a cold sweat as he immediately shook his head. “I-I didn’t!”

“Don’t belittle any National Healer; all of them are unique. Even if you become a National Healer yourself in the future, you still have to be humble and keep learning.” Yue Zun said in a grave tone as he nodded his head.

Feeling guilty in his heart, the assistant smiled. “Thank you, Professor Yue, for your teachings!”
