Chapter 104: The True Divine Doctor
Standing... standing up?
The old man really stood up?
Liu Peinan was completely stunned!
Dr. Henqi was even more like he had seen a miracle, exclaiming: "Oh, my God!"
As for Liu Peilin and Liu Peinan's father, uncle, and the dozen of others, at this moment, they were all dumbfounded, watching the old man stand up and even stand steady!
Divine Doctor Lu only treated the old man for over forty minutes!
He actually made the old man, who was nearly bedridden, suddenly stand up?
To everyone present, it was simply like challenging their worldview!
Who doesn't know how terrible it is when rheumatism becomes severe?
Who doesn't know how severe muscle atrophy is in the legs of someone bedridden for years?
Yet all of this, in the face of the miraculous medical skills of the young Divine Doctor Lu, seemed to become insignificant!
It's not just insignificant.
Everyone felt that Lu Li was creating a medical miracle!
Dr. Henqi was the one with the deepest impression of this idea.
He looked at the old man standing steadily before him and was rooted to the spot as if struck by lightning.
This was severe rheumatism.
Even though the Mayo Clinic is the top hospital in the world, and he is a top expert in rheumatism treatment, he wasn't confident that the old man could stand after a long period of treatment.
And now, Dr. Henqi saw with his own eyes this amazing young Eastern traditional medicine doctor overturning his medical understanding with nearly godlike healing techniques!
Silence!
The courtyard was deathly silent!
So quiet that everyone could hear their own breathing.
It was imaginable how quiet the courtyard was at that moment.
This situation lasted for a moment.
Until Lu Li panted and said, "Alright, old man, you can sit down now."
The old man hurriedly said, "Okay."
He again supported himself on the wheelchair armrests and slowly sat back down.
Almost the instant the old man sat back down.
Everyone present could no longer suppress their inner excitement.
Exclamations suddenly erupted!
"Wha...what?"
"Huh?"
"Grandfather really stood up?"
"Incredible! Absolutely incredible!"
"Divine Doctor Lu's medical skills are just shockingly extraordinary!"
"When I first saw Divine Doctor Lu so young, I thought he was some kind of fraud, but I didn't expect, really didn't expect, Divine Doctor Lu's skills to be so extraordinary!"
"Whether Divine Doctor Lu's skills could bring back the dead is unknown, but just by this extraordinary rheumatism curing technique, he should definitely be renowned in the medical field, yet why have I never heard of Divine Doctor Lu's name?"
"Could it be that we are ignorant and unaware of Divine Doctor Lu's great reputation?"
A group of people were discussing continuously.
Everyone's eyes on Lu Li were full of shock and greed.
The shock was for Lu Li's undeniably miraculous medical expertise.
As for the greed, imagine the fortune of befriending such a skilled doctor, it could mean an extra life in the future!
Naturally, everyone present was eager to immediately go and associate with Lu Li.
Someone had already taken action.
Liu Peinan's father and uncle hurriedly rushed forward.
"Divine Doctor Lu, are you alright?"
"I see you're sweating heavily, are you okay?"
The two of them continued to express concern.
Lu Li waved his hand and said, "It's fine. I just squatted there too long, got up and felt a little dizzy and fell."
Well, that statement was complete nonsense.
The reason he fell was entirely because of excessive energy consumption, feeling a kind of exhaustion all over.
No choice, the old man was seriously ill.
His legs were teeming with bacteria and viruses.
Plus, his leg muscles were atrophied.
Lu Li had to use a large amount of energy rays to eliminate the bacteria.
And also accelerate the self-healing of the old man's legs.
Naturally, the consumption was enormous.
As for why a single treatment allowed the old man to stand, it was thanks to the energy rays to be honest.
Because the energy rays wiped out a large number of bacteria.
And also allowed a significant self-recovery in the leg muscles.
Therefore, the old man could barely stand up.
To fully recover, one or two treatments certainly wouldn't be enough.
Lu Li estimated that at least four to five courses of treatment would be necessary.
"You've worked hard, you really have."
Liu Peinan's uncle no longer had the "unappreciative" look he had earlier.
At this moment, his face was full of smiles.
He took Lu Li's hand from Peng Erping, helping him up, "Divine Doctor Lu, you're tired. Let me help you rest for a bit."
Liu Peinan's father also quickly took over Lu Li's hand from his son, carefully helping him, while speaking kindly: "Divine Doctor Lu, come, come, let's have you rest for a while."
Saying this, he turned to the old man, "Dad, I'm taking Divine Doctor Lu to rest. You can stay and enjoy the sun."
The old man looked at Lu Li with gratitude in his eyes and quickly responded, "You don't have to worry about me, take Divine Doctor Lu for a good rest."
Lu Li indeed needed a bit of rest.
However, he was not so exhausted that he needed help walking.
He politely said, "I can walk by myself."
"No, no, no!" Liu Peinan's uncle quickly said, "You're very tired. Would you like me to carry you over?"
He was in his sixties.
Usually living a life of status and comfort.
Yet he was now willing to carry Lu Li over to rest?
It was imaginable how much admiration and respect he had for Lu Li at this moment.
Lu Li insisted, "Really, there's no need. I appreciate your kindness, but I'll walk myself."
The two brothers exchanged glances, not daring to contradict the Divine Doctor, and had to let go.
Liu Peinan's father led the way, extending a hand, "This way, Divine Doctor Lu, this way please."
Liu Peinan's uncle was more scheming, as he led the way, he gave a signal to a middle-aged man in the crowd in his mid-thirties.
...
A group of people huddled around Lu Li as they entered the guest hall.
This scene closely resembled the way they had just been huddled around Dr. Henqi.
Except now, Dr. Henqi stood cold and alone, without a single person surrounding him.
Of course, Dr. Henqi didn't mind at all.
In fact, he even became one of those gathered around Lu Li.
As they walked, Liu Peinan's father and uncle took the initiative to introduce themselves, letting Lu Li know their names.
Liu Peinan's father was named Liu Xiuliang.
Liu Peinan's uncle was named Liu Xiuming.
When Lu Li heard the name "Liu Xiuliang," he felt a sense of familiarity, as if he had heard it somewhere before, but couldn't immediately remember.
Liu Xiuliang and Liu Xiuming escorted Lu Li to the upper seat, sitting down nearby themselves.
Dr. Henqi was also invited to sit down, but he was so curious about Lu Li's medical skills that he refused to sit, insisting on standing next to Lu Li.
In the end, Liu Peinan, unable to watch any longer, brought a chair for Dr. Henqi, who then sat down.
Liu Xiuliang asked with concern, "Divine Doctor Lu, are you feeling better now?"
After walking for a short while, Lu Li had absorbed free energy from the air through his skin and pores, regaining quite a bit of strength.
He nodded slightly, "Much better."
Liu Xiuming sighed in relief and said with a smile, "Divine Doctor Lu, thank you so much for today."
Liu Xiuliang, moved to tears, said, "Yes, if it weren't for you, Divine Doctor Lu, no one would have been able to cure my dad's rheumatism. Your medical skills are truly superb!"
Saying this, he even gave a thumbs up, a far cry from his earlier attitude of urging Liu Peinan.
During this time, Liu Peinan, Liu Peilin, and the other juniors only listened intently without interrupting.
However, the way they looked at Lu Li was full of admiration and gratitude.
Gratitude goes without saying.
The old man was the anchor of the Liu Family.
If the severe pain caused by rheumatism couldn't be alleviated, he might not have had much longer to live.
Now, not only had Lu Li alleviated the old man's rheumatic pain, but he also enabled him to stand.
How could everyone not be grateful?
As for admiration, it's simple.
Having witnessed Lu Li's god-like medical skills, who wouldn't be in awe?
Lu Li was a bit tired and didn't bother with false modesty, saying instead, "Let me tell you about the old man's condition."
Liu Xiuliang quickly said, "Please do."
His choice of words was very respectful, not only using honorifics but also including the word "please," with two expressions of respect in one sentence.
Liu Xiuming and Liu Peinan, along with the others, listened carefully, eager to know the specifics of the old man's condition.
Dr. Henqi was the same way.
He was very eager to know about the old man's condition after Lu Li's treatment.
Lu Li carefully chose his words and said, "The old man's condition is quite serious."
Liu Xiuliang felt a tightness in his heart.
Liu Xiuming couldn't help but furrow his brows.
They thought if even Divine Doctor Lu said so, could it mean there was no hope for the old man's illness?
To their surprise, Lu Li's next words made the two of them overjoyed.
He said, "However, it's not untreatable."
"Ah?" Liu Xiuliang lifted his head in surprise, "Are you saying... you can cure my dad? Not just relieve the pain?"
Lu Li nodded and confirmed, "Yes, it can be cured, but it will take several treatments."
Holy crap!
It can really be cured?
Liu Xiuliang, Liu Xiuming, Dr. Henqi, and the others were all shocked.
They had known that Lu Li's medical skills were superb, but they really hadn't expected that he could even cure rheumatism!
Lu Li continued, "I will come once a week, and after about four or five treatments, the rheumatic toxins can be eliminated."
Liu Xiuliang inhaled sharply, "It can be cured in just four or five treatments?"
Having just heard the translation, Dr. Henqi was also exclaiming in surprise.
The female translator quickly said, "Dr. Henqi is asking if he can stay and watch Mr. Lu's treatment."
Liu Xiuliang and Liu Xiuming looked over at Lu Li, as such a decision was not theirs to make.
Lu Li casually replied, "If he wants to watch, he can."
He then looked at Liu Xiuliang and Liu Xiuming, "Hmm, I'm still a bit tired, could you let me rest alone for a while?"
"Of course, of course, you have a rest," Liu Xiuliang quickly stood up and asked with concern, "Would you like to lie down in the guest room for a while?"
Lu Li waved his hand and said, "No need, I'll just sit for a while."
Liu Xiuliang didn't dare to contradict him, so he said, "Okay, everyone, let's step out and let Divine Doctor Lu rest for a while."
Everyone stood up.
"Divine Doctor Lu, you have a good rest."
"We won't disturb you."
"If you need anything, just call out, I'll be waiting outside."
Everyone headed outside.
...
The crowd stayed outside marveling at Lu Li's extraordinary medical skills for quite some time.
About an hour later.
The middle-aged man who had received a signal from Liu Xiuliang earlier returned.
As soon as he arrived, he said, "Dad, I just took grandpa to the nearby hospital for a check-up..."
Liu Xiuliang hurriedly asked, "What did the hospital say?"
Liu Xiuming and the others all perked up their ears.
Liu Xiuliang's son, in an incredulous tone, said, "The hospital said they have never witnessed such a miracle, grandpa's rheumatism has actually reversed!"
What?
Rheumatism actually reversed?
Everyone was utterly shocked.
Although earlier everyone had heard Lu Li say that after four or five treatments, there was hope to cure the old man, no one had voiced doubts, but in reality, everyone was a bit skeptical.
After all, with the current level of medical technology, there's no way to cure such a malignant disease as rheumatism.
So it was normal for everyone to be a bit skeptical internally.
But what no one had expected was Liu Xiuliang's son bringing back such astonishing news from the hospital!
Divine Doctor Lu had only treated the old man for a little over forty minutes.
And rheumatism had reversed?
This really seemed like a miracle, just as Liu Xiuliang's son had described!
At this moment, everyone's mind had only one thought: Divine Doctor Lu is truly a real divine doctor!
