Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy novel Chapter 100

Chapter 100: Chapter 100: Lethal Medical Technique

Wu Tian could see the worry in Xiao Liang’s eyes; he knew that Xiao Liang was genuinely fond of Tellam Kuangte.

He had been a little surprised before. Could Xiao Liang and Tellam Kuangte really have a thing?

"I can treat her anytime," Wu Tian said.

"Great!" Xiao Liang was overjoyed. A being like Wu Tian would never deceive him. If Wu Tian said he could treat her, then he definitely could.

Meanwhile, the foreign physicians standing nearby frowned slightly. They were all fluent in the language of the Dragon Country. One of them spoke up, "Mr. Xiao Liang, did you just say you want him to treat Ms. Tellam?"

Xiao Liang nodded. "Yes. He is the most miraculous person I have ever met. I believe in his medical technique, and I am sure it is exceptional."

"So, you’ve never actually seen his medical technique?"

"How can you People of the Dragon Country be so reckless?"

"That’s right." The physicians on Tellam Kuangte’s medical team all objected. The lead physician added, "Mr. Xiao Liang, I know you People of the Dragon Country have your pride, but let me tell you, many of you are far too superstitious—about things like Chinese medicine, for example. It’s completely unreliable."

His meaning was clear: Chinese medicine was useless. If even established Chinese medicine was useless, wouldn’t Wu Tian’s personal medical technique be even more so?

Xiao Liang grew displeased. "Chinese medicine isn’t necessarily inferior to Western medicine. You could say they each have their own merits."

"Impossible!" The medical team, composed entirely of Western doctors, became upset. They felt deeply insulted that Xiao Liang would equate Chinese medicine with the Western medicine they studied.

"How could Chinese medicine possibly compare to Western medicine?"

"Exactly. Chinese medicine can’t even hold a candle to Western medicine."

"If Chinese medicine is so great, why are more and more people in your Dragon Country studying Western medicine instead of it?"

"That’s a good point."

"Every city in your country has a ’Chinese medicine hospital,’ but they’re all just a sham. They use the name of Chinese medicine but in reality, practice Western medicine."

"It’s true. This whole ’observing, listening, questioning, and pulse-taking’ nonsense... Haha, your country’s Chinese medicine is just a bunch of bluffing and superficial tricks to fool people. There’s no real skill involved."

Xiao Tianzan and Guli Weiwei both grew angry but didn’t know what to say. It was true that Chinese medicine had declined, while Western medicine had become the global mainstream.

Wu Tian only smiled faintly at the scene.

Why is Chinese medicine so scorned? It’s because the People of the Dragon Country aren’t self-reliant enough. Chinese medicine treats the root of a problem, but it’s too complex, and treatment takes too long. Although there are rapid, life-saving techniques like acupuncture, the acupoints are difficult to identify. A minuscule error in needle placement can lead to a disastrously different outcome! As a result, fewer and fewer people are willing to endure the hardship of studying it, turning to Western medicine instead. What they don’t realize is that while the path of Western medicine may cure an ailment, it inevitably leaves behind some other hidden problem in the body.

The lead physician saw Wu Tian’s indifferent expression and snorted. He’s just putting on an act!

He then asked, "Young man, how long have you studied Chinese medicine? Do you have a license from the Chinese Medicine Association?"

It seemed this physician knew a little about the state of Chinese medicine in the Dragon Country. The Dragon Country had a Chinese Medicine Association, whose president was hailed as the foremost expert in the field. His name was Huangfu Huisheng, and his nickname was ’Match for Bian Que.’ He had even declared that his grandson, Huangfu Jiushi, would one day inherit his title. Though still a twenty-five-year-old top student at the University of Chinese Medicine, his grandson had already earned the nickname ’Match for Hua Tuo.’ Any practitioner not recognized by the Chinese Medicine Association was considered a fraud.

That was why the physician had asked his question.

Wu Tian smiled. A license from the Chinese Medicine Association? Does being unrecognized by them automatically make someone a fraud? I’ve been displeased with the Chinese Medicine Association for a long time, even before I went to the Immortal Emperor Realm. The Association does little more than run commercials for its own products on television. It never does anything to glorify Chinese medicine or fight for its honor. The association itself grew rich, but its products were ineffective, which ultimately led to Chinese medicine being despised by the public. It hands out certificates to some physicians, giving them license to engage in fraudulent practices. All in all, the existence of the Chinese Medicine Association has not helped Chinese medicine at all; it has only become a burden.

Tellam observed the way her granddaughter was looking at Wu Tian and had a sudden realization. This kid is really something else. Is he that good at charming girls? Has he already captured the heart of my granddaughter, who has always held her head so high?
