"Doctor Xie, someone has fainted, go quickly and take a look!" Someone immediately called out to Xie Yixian.
Xie Yixian nodded, glanced at Li Se, and then went over with his disciples.
In the crowd, a man was desperately calling for help. Lying in his arms was a woman who appeared to have no vital signs.
Xie Yixian immediately took her pulse, his expression growing increasingly solemn.
"Doctor, please save my wife!" the man pleaded.
"Don't worry, my teacher is a renowned Chinese medicine physician, known as Divine Hand!" Qin Weicai said proudly.
"Coronary artery occlusion supplying blood to the myocardium, leading to the interruption of myocardial blood supply. Once the myocardium necroses, heart function is lost. These are symptoms of sudden death!" Xie Yixian said in a deep voice.
"What? Sudden death?" The man almost fainted.
Xie Yixian checked the patient's breathing, there was no longer any. He immediately tapped the heart a few times, then massaged several acupoints. However, there was still no response. He shook his head and said, "She's beyond saving. The three acupoints I pressed were the Renzhong, Neiguan, and Tanzhong. Renzhong is an important acupoint on the Du Meridian, and Tanzhong is on the Ren Meridian. Massaging these acupoints can unblock the Qi and blood of the Ren and Du Meridians. Additionally, massaging the Neiguan acupoint can open the pericardium meridian and relieve blood stagnation. If Neiguan is blocked, death is irreversible."
He sighed lightly and continued, "If these three acupoints have no effect, then it means the patient is beyond saving!"
"Doctor, please, save my wife. She was fine this morning..." the man begged tearfully.
"Life and death are predetermined," Xie Yixian shook his head and got up. In his opinion, the patient was beyond saving and could be declared dead, so no further treatment was needed.
"Prepare for the funeral. Since my teacher has said she is beyond saving, then no one in this world can cure her," Qin Weicai said indifferently.
Many people around sighed. Xie Yixian's medical skills were well-known. If even he said she was beyond saving, then she truly was. Even taking her to a major hospital would be useless.
"I can try!"
Just then, a voice rang out.
Xie Yixian and Qin Weicai were both taken aback. They found the voice somewhat familiar and looked over. Their brows furrowed as they saw it was Li Se.kuAiδugg
"Kid, my teacher said she's beyond saving, and you still want to try? Who do you think you are?" Qin Weicai was somewhat indignant. This Li Se was clearly questioning his teacher, thinking he was some immortal.
"You might as well go home and sleep. This patient has died suddenly; even an immortal couldn't save her!"
Qin Weicai naturally didn't believe Li Se could save a dead person, but Li Se's actions made him incredibly angry. He was clearly here to cause trouble and provoke them.
"You've all declared her dead, so what's the harm in me trying?" Li Se frowned.
Xie Yixian was thoroughly angered. He was already upset about Li Se snatching the Taiyi Jiugong Lianhuan Zhen, but now this kid was jumping out to try and treat someone he had declared dead. This was clearly defying him. He sternly reprimanded, "Kid, I don't care who you are, get out of here now! If I declare someone dead, they can't be saved. The heart has already stopped. Even the imperial physicians would be helpless!"
Although he wasn't an imperial physician, his medical skills were comparable to them. He was absolutely certain that even if imperial physicians arrived, they wouldn't be able to save the patient; it would be no different from raising the dead.
"Heh, sudden death can still be treated if discovered in time. If you can't, it only means your medical skills are lacking, not that others can't. Move aside, don't waste any more time!" Li Se said coldly.
"You..." Xie Yixian was so angered he could barely speak.
"How dare you say my teacher's medical skills are lacking?" Qin Weicai was also enraged. "If you can bring the patient back from the dead, I'll kneel down to you on the spot!"
"You said it!" Li Se sneered.
"But if you fail, you will kneel down, apologize to my teacher, and hand over the Taiyi Jiugong Lianhuan Zhen!" Qin Weicai said through gritted teeth.
"Deal!" Li Se didn't hesitate. The most important thing right now was to save the patient, so he didn't want to waste time arguing with Qin Weicai.
After squatting down, he looked at the man and said, "Let me try."
"Okay!" For the man, Li Se's appearance brought him hope. It was better than a definitive death sentence.
"This young man is too impulsive."
"How can someone who has already died be saved?"
"He'll have to kneel and apologize later, and also give up the Jiugong Lianhuan Zhen, which cost twenty million. Besides, even if he gives it up, he'll have offended Doctor Xie. It would have been better to give it up earlier or become his disciple, what a good opportunity."
"The young man has narrowed his path."
"..."
Many people were whispering. They all had very low expectations for Li Se. This was a patient declared dead by Xie Yixian, so it was impossible to save them. Even if an immortal descended, they couldn't do anything.
Many people from Zhongbaoge had gathered here, including Shang Yuan and Yin Wenhao. They knew Li Se's medical skills, but at this moment, they also felt Li Se was being too impulsive. How could someone already dead be saved?
Luo Qingyao, who had just apologized to Li Se, gloated. She was now waiting for Li Se to kneel and apologize to Xie Yixian. Although he wouldn't be kneeling to her, she felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.
"Vermilion ink brush, quickly!" Li Se shouted as he needled the patient.
Wei Xueru immediately went to get the vermilion ink brush. She was very efficient, bringing it within minutes.
Li Se took the vermilion ink brush and drew a large talisman on the ground, then placed the patient in the center of the talisman. He chanted some words and then shouted, "Gold, wood, water, fire, earth, come!"
As his voice fell, the people closest to him felt as if their energy was being drained. It flowed towards the talisman, though it was invisible to the naked eye. This energy then slowly entered the patient's body.
Li Se was once again using Zhu You Shu!
"Heh, playing the fool!" Xie Yixian said with a grim face and a hint of mockery. "It's because there are too many people like you that Chinese medicine is declining. People think Chinese medicine is all a scam."
He then sighed deeply, "I feel sorrow for the current state of Chinese medicine..."
