Ten minutes later, seeing Zhou Shan's breathing frequency gradually stabilize, and his bright red eyes, which had been swollen red in just ten minutes, slowly turned light red, and the swelling also subsided. It was evident that Wan Yunting's two needles had completely purged the heat toxin from his body.
"Alright, open your eyes now and feel if it still hurts, if you can see clearly."
Wan Yunting withdrew the silver needles from the Tai Chong acupoint on Zhou Shan's instep and the Jingming acupoint in his eyes. Zhou Shan slowly opened his eyes, and immediately, he said excitedly, "I can see clearly, my eyes don't hurt anymore, I'm cured, Master, I'm cured..."
Seeing Zhou Shan get up, looking excited and happy, You Fuguo was also surprised. He turned to look at Wan Yunting, "He's all better now?"
Wan Yunting put the silver needles back into the box and handed them to Qi Miaomiao beside him. He turned back, smiled at You Fuguo, and said, "If you're still worried, I can prescribe another herbal formula to reduce internal heat. As long as you drink a bowl of decoction every day, you won't get fired up even if you stand by a stove."
You Fuguo looked at his disciple Zhou Shan's excited and happy appearance, clearly his illness was completely cured. Therefore, his attitude towards Wan Yunting changed by ninety degrees, and he smiled awkwardly, "Thanks."
"Wow, amazing...!"
"See that? I told you Wan Yunting's medical skills are superb. With just two needles, he made this patient lively again...!"
"It seems that traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture has something special about it..."
The onlookers watched Zhou Shan jump around excitedly, pointing at Wan Yunting and nodding in discussion.
As for Liu Yuan, Tian Xiangrong, Zhang Shunchang, and Xue Tonghua, they looked at each other awkwardly. What Wan Yunting did was a naked slap in their faces, resounding loudly.
"Heh, this doctor from Liu Ping Tang isn't good!"
"Yeah, he cured this person with just two needles, but Doctor Liu's prescription couldn't cure him. This hundred-year-old brand, Liu Ping Tang, is nothing special!"
The passersby looked at Liu Yuan's unpredictable expression and couldn't help but mock and ridicule.
"Refund!"
You Fuguo reacted, holding the prescription and receipt, and turned to shout at Liu Yuan and the people from Liu Ping Tang, "You still say it's not your problem?"
"Look at that doctor, he cured my disciple's illness with just two needles, but you still prescribed medicine, and it cost eight hundred yuan for the herbs, and it was useless. If you don't have good medical skills, don't open a shop to trick people. Hurry up and refund me."
"Exactly, after spending eight hundred yuan, the illness isn't even cured. This Doctor Liu has really disgraced his Liu family and the Liu Ping Tang signboard!"
"Or maybe the method of decocting the medicine was wrong. Heh, I think it's just his poor medical skills!"
"Hurry up and refund the money. Eight hundred yuan is three days' wages for them..."
The surrounding passersby were now all on You Fuguo's side, shouting at Liu Yuan and the people from Liu Ping Tang.
Some passersby even took out their phones and recorded the entire process of Wan Yunting treating Zhou Shan with acupuncture, as well as the current scene of everyone denouncing Liu Ping Tang, and directly posted it on Douyin and other online platforms.
Facing the accusatory faces of You Fuguo and a crowd of passersby, Liu Yuan's face became extremely grim. His sinister eyes fixed on Wan Yunting, and his heart burned with anger. If it weren't for this brat, this medical dispute wouldn't have made him so passive.
"Brother Liu, I suggest we refund the money. Don't let the matter escalate. If this gets blown up online now, it won't be a joke." Zhang Shunchang, seeing the situation, advised Liu Yuan to endure it and not let it escalate further.
"Mm..."
Xue Tonghua and Tian Xiangrong nodded in agreement, as the power of the internet was immense, capable of tearing anyone down with ease.
Liu Yuan glared at Wan Yunting with cold eyes, and asked his shop assistant Zhang Ping to get the money and return the eight hundred yuan for the herbs You Fuguo had collected yesterday.
"Here, what a lousy prescription."
After receiving the eight hundred yuan, You Fuguo threw the prescription at shop assistant Zhang Ping and turned to smile at Wan Yunting, "Doctor, how much are your two needles? I'll pay you now."
Wan Yunting waved his hand and smiled, "No need. Consider it me showing everyone the acupuncture techniques of traditional Chinese medicine, proving that our TCM can cure illnesses."
"Doctor Wan's medical skills are amazing, truly a miracle worker...!"
Immediately, the passersby applauded him.
"Doctor Wan, is Xiu Yuan Tang yours?"
Seeing the passersby asking, Wan Yunting nodded and called out, "Yes. If anyone has any problems in the future, you can come to my Xiu Yuan Tang. I can provide free consultations for your health issues."
"Oh, I must say, I've been feeling dizzy and lightheaded lately, and I don't have much appetite. Doctor Wan, can you see what's going on?" a young office worker said.
"Okay, go to my clinic later, and I'll take your pulse." Wan Yunting said with a friendly smile to the passersby.
"Doctor Wan seems more approachable. Hmph, unlike those clinics that claim to be hundred-year-old brands. Their doctors always seem high and mighty, self-righteous. But in the end, they're just a bunch of useless quacks!"
"Exactly. From now on, if we need to see a TCM doctor, we'll go to Xiu Yuan Tang's Doctor Wan, and we'll never enter these old brands again..."
The passersby complained, making Zhang Shunchang, Tian Xiangrong, and the others' faces awkward. They looked up and found that Wu Shengbai from Tong Ren Tang had already disappeared.
"If anyone has any questions, you can come to my clinic, and I'll answer them for you." Wan Yunting warmly invited the passersby who wanted to see him to his clinic. He also said to You Fuguo and Zhou Shan, "You two also come to my clinic, and I'll prescribe a formula to reduce heat for you later."
"Okay, thank you..."
You Fuguo and Zhou Shan thanked him. Gu Luotang, Qi Miaomiao, Du Hua, and Wang Zhuyu immediately ushered the passersby into the clinic. A crowd surged in, and even those who weren't sick wanted to come in and visit the newly opened Xiu Yuan Tang clinic...
"Wan Yunting, don't you think you've gone too far?"
Liu Yuan, with a grim face, stopped Wan Yunting and said through gritted teeth.
Wan Yunting turned and looked at Liu Yuan standing at the entrance of Liu Ping Tang, along with shop assistant Zhang Ping, Tian Xiangrong, Zhang Shunchang, and Xue Tonghua...
Their eyes were fierce, as if they wanted to devour him. Wan Yunting smiled and said, "Doctor Liu, you're being too serious. I'm doing this to help you, and to prove that TCM can cure illnesses, aren't I?"
"Hmph."
Zhang Shunchang snorted and said, "Stop putting on a false act in front of us. We know exactly what you mean!"
Wan Yunting chuckled, shook his head slightly, and sighed, "It seems my good intentions have been misunderstood. But it doesn't matter, as long as people believe in our TCM."
"Doctor Liu, Doctor Tian, there are people waiting for me to see them. Goodbye."
Saying that, Wan Yunting clasped his hands together, gave them a false smile, and turned back to his clinic.
"Hmph."
This scene infuriated Liu Yuan, who turned and went back into the clinic. Tian Xiangrong, Xue Tonghua, and Zhang Shunchang followed closely, going up to the second floor. Liu Yuan could no longer contain himself and shouted, "Wan Yunting, he's too arrogant. He's openly provoking my Liu Ping Tang!"
Tian Xiangrong and Zhang Shunchang exchanged glances. Xue Tonghua went up and pulled the sullen and angry Liu Yuan to sit down, saying, "Brother Liu, calm down first. Let's sit down and discuss how we should deal with this Wan Yunting in the future."
"Yes."
Tian Xiangrong said, "But Brother Liu, you were too careless. Today's incident completely provided an opportunity for Wan Yunting. By curing that person's illness in public, he not only slapped Liu Ping Tang in the face but also promoted his Xiu Yuan Tang!"
"If this gets reported online, everyone will know that his Xiu Yuan Tang is no worse than our hundred-year-old clinics."
"Yes, Wan Yunting has very strong appeal. This matter will definitely affect you, Liu Ping Tang, and even us." Xue Tonghua said.
Liu Yuan's face was gloomy, and his gaze was sharp and fierce. He gritted his teeth and said angrily, "I must teach him a lesson, or I can't swallow this resentment!"
Tian Xiangrong and Zhang Shunchang nodded and said, "How about asking Xiao He to coordinate with the Health Commission and cause trouble for Wan Yunting's clinic?"
Xue Tonghua shook his head and said, "Don't you forget, Wan Yunting is from the Ouyang family. Do you think you can defeat him with such tactics?"
Liu Yuan calmed down a little, his brows furrowed, and he nodded, "To bring down Wan Yunting, we can only do it openly on the surface. Private tactics might work against others, but they won't work against Wan Yunting!"
"Brother Liu is right."
Tian Xiangrong nodded, his small, cunning eyes narrowed, and then he asked doubtfully, "Then what method should we use to bring him down in the open?"
Liu Yuan turned to look at them and said coldly, "Set up a challenge and compete in medical skills with him!"
"Mm, this is a good idea." Zhang Shunchang's eyes lit up, and he nodded in agreement.
Xue Tonghua, however, said, "We can compete, but this Wan Yunting is not simple. His earlier use of qi to guide needles shows his profound medical skills."
Tian Xiangrong rolled his eyes at him and said, "Brother Xue, what are you afraid of? We are not easy to deal with either. Besides, who doesn't have their unique treasures!"
Zhang Shunchang nodded and smiled, "I think we can compete, but we should unite all the medical clinics on our street to deal with Wan Yunting together. I don't believe that we can't defeat a junior."
Liu Yuan nodded and said, "I'll go find Old Wu and the one from Gui Sheng Tang later to join forces. We must take down Wan Yunting and drive him out of Heping Street."
Tian Xiangrong, Zhang Shunchang, and Xue Tonghua nodded and said, "We will discuss this matter and make some preparations..."
At this moment, Wan Yunting was unaware that they were already planning how to deal with him. He was in his clinic, prescribing a formula for Zhou Shan and taking them to the herbal counter on the first floor to hand the prescription to Mo Yaolin for dispensing...
"Six packs of medicine only cost two hundred yuan."
You Fuguo exclaimed in surprise, holding six packs of Chinese medicine.
Wan Yunting smiled and said, "These herbs are common ingredients for reducing internal heat. As long as they are properly combined, they can exert their maximum medicinal effect, so the price is naturally cheaper."
"So affordable."
You Fuguo and Zhou Shan said happily, "Doctor Wan, thank you. I apologize for my rude words earlier, please don't take it to heart."
Many people were also visiting the clinic at this time, especially some young people who were fans of Wan Yunting from Douyin, holding their phones and filming. Wan Yunting did not stop them, and he waved his hand at You Fuguo with a smile, "As long as you believe that TCM can cure illnesses, I am very satisfied."
"Yes, yes, we were too shallow." You Fuguo repeatedly nodded, saying apologetically.
After Wan Yunting instructed them on how to decoct and take the medicine, he sent them away. However, some passersby kept calling for him to take their pulses and diagnose them. Wan Yunting, with a friendly smile, invited them upstairs to examine them with Gu Luotang...
Although the medical dispute between You Fuguo and Zhou Shan seemed minor, because passersby filmed it and it was directly uploaded online, everyone saw that it was Wan Yunting. The news spread from one person to ten, then to a hundred, and so on, and the matter gradually fermented, even being reported by Beijing News.
Finally, Liu He, Xue Xialan, and others also learned of it. Even Liu Pingyi, Xue Dongshan, Li Tiangui, and others learned about it and called Liu Yuan and Xue Tonghua to inquire about what had happened...
However, precisely because of this incident, in the next two days, Xiu Yuan Tang officially welcomed many citizens who came specifically to see Wan Yunting. Although it wasn't a major breakthrough, it was a good start, making Wan Yunting, Gu Luotang, and the others very happy...
