Chapter 73: Condensing Qi into Ice

  My wife is a queen

  The most shameless one!

  Song Yingping was so angry that she wished to rush up and slap Qin Yan several times, how dare he say that returning favors to himself meant giving away 51% of his company's shares, why didn't he go rob a bank?

  "Qin Yan! Are you shameless? How can you say such a thing!" Song Yuanyan's anger reached the sky, she had never thought that Qin Yan was this kind of person.

  "If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Song just said that if you can cure the old man, it would be worth spending all your family's wealth."

  "But..."

  "Alright, let's not talk about this for now."

  Qin Yan turned his head and took a look at Cui Xiu, who had an equally displeased expression on her face. He smiled and said: "Auntie, if I'm not mistaken, you should have stomach problems, right? Although it's not very serious, but it can't be cured completely, and as long as you eat something cold, your stomach will hurt, isn't that so?"

  Choi Xiu was taken aback, this kid really had some mysterious skills. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes inspection, auscultation, inquiry and palpation, but he could tell what illness he had just by looking at him for a moment, wasn't that too absurd?

  Qin Yan walked over to the desk against the wall, where paper and pen were laid out. He picked up the pen and wrote out a prescription with only the names of the medicinal ingredients but no dosages.

  Tore off the prescription and handed it to Cui Xiu, saying: "Auntie, according to this prescription, buy three catties of each medicine. In the future, every time I come to see Grandpa's illness, I'll help you decoct the medicine."

  Talk is cheap.

  Just a few words, and Song Yingping would give him shares of the pharmaceutical factory. Unless the other party had a problem with their brain, he wanted to use facts to prove - prove that he divided 51% of the equity, but in fact, he was helping the other party.

  Choi Soo's illness is just a small problem, but the old man's progressive freezing disease is a big problem. Qin Yan has no confidence because the secret book he obtained does not record any treatment methods for this disease. Of course, there are various traditional Chinese medicine knowledge as theories, and acupuncture and internal energy as carriers. If even he can't cure the old man's illness, it's likely that nobody in the world can.

  "Yu Yan, has Grandfather's illness been diagnosed? The cause of his gradual freezing syndrome shouldn't be just one thing, should it?" Qin Yan asked.

  "It's been confirmed."

  From the bookcase in the room, take out a file bag and hand it to Qin Yan. Song Yu said: "You can take a look first. The causes of gradual freezing disease are usually divided into four types: genetic, toxic, immune, and viral. Grandpa is due to immune problems, and now he has entered a relatively serious middle period."

  Qin Yan quickly opened the file bag and flipped through it. There were a lot of materials inside, but most of them were useless to him. He wanted to see the old man's underlying cause of illness and some data comparisons to determine the accuracy of the lesion and its cause.

  A few minutes later, he held a thick stack of documents in one hand and walked to the bedside to take out a silver needle.

  "I'll go get some alcohol for disinfection," said Song Yu Yan.

  "It doesn't matter."

  In the past, alcohol was used for disinfection because of insufficient internal energy. Now it's different, only a few strands of white mist appear out of nowhere and linger on the silver needle for a long time without dispersing.

  Song Yingping saw it, Cui Xiu saw it, Song Yuyan saw it, and the old man also saw it.

  What is that gas, anyway?

  However, others were too far away to see clearly, but the old man lying on the bed saw it clearly, and his face suddenly showed an extremely excited expression, constantly calling out "ah", and no one knew what he wanted to say. This was even strange to Song Yingping, who couldn't fully guess the meaning of his father's words as a son. Qin Yan had only met his father for the first time, but before that, he could understand the meaning of his father's "ah"s just by listening to him call out.

  Can the old man help but get excited?

  He is a master of traditional Chinese medicine recognized by the medical community, and has seen many things that ordinary people do not know or believe in, including something called qigong.

  Qigong is really true or false, ordinary people all think it's mysterious and profound, while the qigong masters circulating on the internet are almost all fake.

  But he knew that qigong was real, it's just that true masters wouldn't show off.

  Qigong is invisible and intangible, but its power is astonishing.

  On the contrary, when qigong changes from invisible to visible, it means that this person's cultivation has reached a high level of proficiency.

  Condense gas into ice!

  That's right!

  This is Qin Yan's disinfection method, using internal energy to condense into ice and kill the bacteria on the silver needle!

  Through the faint air flow surrounding the silver needle, a thin layer of ice can be seen wrapped around the body of the needle. The next moment, a scorching aura suddenly surged out, and the thin ice evaporated into water vapor without a trace. Qin Yan's right hand holding the needle moved slightly, his eyes still staring at the file in his hand, but the silver needle had already entered a certain acupoint behind the old man's ear.

  A family of three stared in amazement, and because the distance was relatively far away, they didn't see the process of condensing air into ice clearly. However, Qin Yan could recognize acupoints and insert needles without using his eyes, but this skill was seen by them very clearly.

  A silver needle pierced into each of Old Man's acupoints one by one, and Qin Yan's eyebrows furrowed tighter.

  Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, one of the world's five incurable diseases, has no precedent for a cure. The key is that this disease is not recorded in that secret book, so after having a certain understanding of Lao Ye's condition through data, the second step is to use silver needles to guide the air into the body and find out the root cause of the problem rather than treating it.

  With his current strength, it's not impossible to directly use internal energy to probe into the old man's body, but that kind of contact is through the skin, whereas the silver needle piercing in is inside the body, and the results will be even more detailed.

  Every time a silver needle is inserted, the internal energy will follow the silver needle into the body and explore the situation in the surrounding area.

  More than ten minutes later, all the silver needles were withdrawn one by one.

  "Mr. Qin, how are you?" Song Yingping asked hastily.

  "I'm not sure."

  Qin Yan said is true, old man's progressive freezing disease has reached the middle and late stages, many parts of muscle have severely atrophied.

  Of course, this is not the biggest difficulty for him. With acupuncture to stimulate the muscles and taking medicinal soup to regulate his body, he has confidence in slowly recovering these atrophied muscles. The key is that muscle atrophy is a symptom of gradual freezing syndrome, even if it's cured, it's useless, we must find the root cause and eliminate it.

  The root of the disease has been found!

  When the inner energy passes through a certain area of the brain, it finds a special pathological change, which is the root cause of Alzheimer's disease. However, finding the lesion does not mean that it can be treated.

  The brain is the most precise, complex and important organ of the human body, and at the same time it is also the most fragile.

  Through the silver needle, importing a strand of inner energy to examine the condition is not bad, but once the amount of inner energy increases, it may cause irreversible damage to the brain. On the other hand, in order to treat changes in the brain, a small amount of inner energy is almost impossible, and a large amount of inner energy must be consumed to achieve this.

  Not sure?

  Uttering this sentence made Qin Yan feel a bit uneasy. As a doctor now, if he couldn't cure the patient's illness, it would mean that his ability was not enough.

  But when this was heard by four people of three generations, it sounded different: if there's no guarantee, it means it's possible, just not absolutely certain!

  This is Lou Gehrig's disease, who dares to say 'no guarantee'?

  Others would just say: Prepare for your funeral.

  "Mr. Qin!"

  Song Yingping grasped Qin Yan's hand tightly, her face filled with excitement: "As long as there is a glimmer of hope, it's all good. If you can cure my father's illness..."

  "Never mind all that, just let me treat the illness, I have a condition."

  "You said!"

  "In a hospital, patients are asked to sign an operation consent form before being pushed into the operating room. You shouldn't be unfamiliar with this, right?"

  The old man's illness is not impossible to cure, the problem lies in the control of internal energy, too little will not have a therapeutic effect, and too much will hurt the brain and let the patient die. So Qin Yan must give them a preventive shot: "In the treatment process, I don't guarantee that nothing will go wrong. Of course, the right to choose is yours, if you agree with me, I'll treat him, if not, it's like I never came, you discuss it among yourselves."

  Several people were stunned. They weren't afraid that Qin Yan couldn't cure the illness, after all, this was an incurable disease. But hearing Qin Yan's words, there might be an even worse situation.

  "Dad, why don't we just stick with conservative treatment?" Song Yingping said to the old man.

  "Ah! Ah!" The old man shouted loudly.

  "Grandpa meant for Qin Yan to help him govern." Song Yuanyan sighed.

  "But..."

  "May I say something?"

  Qin Yan looked at the old man, who was excited and shouting non-stop, and sighed: "From Grandpa's perspective, he would rather die than lie down like this. If he accepts my treatment, even if something goes wrong, it won't be much different from being a living dead person. On the other hand, if he recovers, that would be the best outcome. Is that what you mean, Grandpa?"

  Patients with locked-in syndrome are called awake vegetables, unable to move or speak, and anyone who lives such a life feels that it is better to die than to live.

  "Mr. Qin, thank you... I'm sorry to trouble you!"

  Although in her heart she still hoped for conservative treatment, at least it wouldn't cost her life, Song Yingping had to consider her father's feelings and could only agree to let Qin Yan take action.

  Next, Qin Yan began his first treatment process.

  He was completely unaware of ALS, but through that detailed information and the previous internal energy detection, he had a comprehensive grasp of the patient's overall condition.

  Treatment is mainly divided into two aspects: one is to treat the symptoms, that is, to treat the symptoms caused by progressive freezing syndrome, and let the atrophied muscles recover; the other is to treat the root cause, while ensuring that the muscles will not continue to atrophy, repair the brain lesions.

  It's easy to cure symptoms but hard to cure the root cause.

  In order to make the old man bearable, in the treatment process for the brain, there may be pain and harm brought about. What needs to be done now is not to treat the root cause first, but to regulate the body and treat the symptoms. Only when his physical condition improves can he dare to administer acupuncture to the brain area; otherwise, with the old man's current physical condition, he might not even survive after receiving the treatment.

  Curing the symptoms involves using acupuncture and massage to gradually restore atrophied muscles.

  Tonifying means enhancing the patient's constitution through warming and nourishing decoctions.

  After half an hour of acupuncture, Qin Yan wrote out another prescription with only the names of the medicines and no specified dosage, and handed it to Cui Xiu to fetch the medicine.

  "I'll go."

  Song Yingping took the two medical prescriptions from his wife's hand, filled with gratitude, and said to Qin Yan: "I'll go get the medicine, you go rest first, I'll let your aunt prepare dinner, today no matter what, you must stay for dinner."

  Although it has only been treated once, and because it is only temporary and only treats the symptoms, no effect can be seen at all. However, from that one hand condensed into ice and blind needle, Song Yingping had 100% confidence in Qin Yan's medical skills - if he couldn't cure his father's illness, others probably wouldn't be able to either.
