I Can Talk to the Internal Organs-Chapter 224 - 191: Commanding the Five Viscera to Fight Disease?

Ten years?

Lu Jiu returned home, his mind still echoing with the words the old man had told him.

In other words, the next ten years are the best opportunity for the development of Chinese medicine.

With that said, the effort suddenly has direction.

Before officially becoming the hospital director, I must enhance my medical skills as much as possible.

Ideally, it should reach the level where most difficult diseases can be handled.

Besides reading books, diagnosing, and enhancing my ability through treating illnesses, it seems I've done little research on the internal organs dialogue.

This is akin to a patient's built-in CT scan plus five intelligent operators.

Only obtaining information while taking one's pulse clearly hasn't allowed me to push my abilities to the limit.

In future diagnoses, I'll need to research thoroughly.

…

The next day.

Lu's Clinic.

Shi Zixiong and his mother Rao He were already waiting outside the clinic.

It had been a week since the last follow-up; today was also the day they came for medicine.

"I've told you, returning to work is important, I can take care of myself now, why do you keep following me?" Rao He said.

After experiencing the ups and downs of life, Rao He's mindset had changed, and she no longer had that strong desire to control Shi Zixiong. Rather, she was somewhat annoyed by her son always being by her side.

Of course, despite what she said, inside she felt quite pleased.

After all, when bedridden for a prolonged period, filial piety tends to diminish; back in the hospital, she vividly remembered how many older siblings looked when being cared for by their children.

Her son was so unwaveringly devoted, never uttering a complaint; Rao He felt fortunate to have such a good son.

Therefore, Lu Jiu's words, "Taking care of yourself is helping your son," resonated deeply with her.

"I don't mind, I already told my boss I'd take a six-month unpaid leave, waiting for Dr. Lu to say we can go home, then I will return in due time." Shi Zixiong replied.

"What about Su Shu?" Rao He asked.

"I let her go home, but she said she'd visit on weekends." Shi Zixiong said.

"That's not what I'm asking." Rao He said.

"Mom, don't worry, even in those desperate times she didn't leave, now that you've improved so much, there's even less reason." Shi Zixiong said.

"She's a good girl, make sure to repay her doubly in the future, understood?" Rao He instructed.

"Got it, hey, Dr. Lu is here." Shi Zixiong said just as he turned his head, seeing Lu Jiu slowly approaching the clinic, he immediately waved to greet, "Dr. Lu!"

The others heard the sound and also looked towards Lu Jiu.

Lu Jiu approached, unlocking the door while asking with a smile, "Morning, how's your mom been recovering lately?"

Shi Zixiong smiled, "Pretty good, now she sleeps till after four, the pain's lighter than before; Dr. Lu, you know, before you taught my mom the Eight Vajra Skills, while idly I practiced too, partly to feel it myself, partly to correct my mom's movements, and after practicing for all this time, my sleep improved compared to before."

"Before, I'd toss and turn for over an hour before falling asleep, now I'm asleep in about half an hour; but after practicing the Eight Vajra Skills, I've gotten a bit of a heat symptom, and acne appeared on my face."

Lu Jiu laughed, "That's likely a disease expelling reaction, accompanied your mom for years, accumulating small issues; not major problems, but left unaddressed, they could lead to major ones. Just so happens, the Eight Vajra Skills can help adjust your body, continue practicing."

Shi Zixiong replied, "Alright, I'll keep practicing when I get home."

The clinic door opened, Lu Jiu started tidying up some things.

About ten minutes later, diagnosis sessions started.

Rao He slowly came before Lu Jiu.

The last system update showed significant improvement in Rao He's spleen and stomach weakness, nearly reaching forty percent recovery; even if not yet at fifty, it should be close.

However, her heart yang deficiency, kidney essence depletion, may still require days of treatments.

As for the lung mass, basically lung cancer, there's been no progress yet.

Though there's no improvement, it hasn't worsened, which is a small mercy.

"Let's do acupuncture directly this time, I'll handle the pulse while doing acupuncture." Lu Jiu said.

Actually, conducting acupuncture makes it difficult to take the pulse simultaneously, but Lu Jiu could.

Because he wasn't listening to the patient's pulse, but to the dialogue of the five viscera.

Yesterday, he thought of a method, since acupuncture can amplify the five viscera, and he can engage in dialogue with the five viscera, does this mean he can communicate with them, then through their control of the patient's body, accurately manipulate qi and blood to help them counteract illness?

With this idea, in today's session with Rao He, he could put it to the test.

Rao He didn't perceive any issues, rather she skillfully lay down on the small bed.

Lu Jiu then began needle preparation, acupuncture matching.

Guan Yuan, Fei Shu, Neiguan, Lieque, Chize, Zusanli…

He spun the needle single-handedly, swiftly, each puncture accurately into the acupoint with qi elicited.

This was no longer a high-difficulty operation for Lu Jiu.

The other free hand held Rao He's wrist, observing the reaction of the five viscera.

"Heart Fire, that force is coming again." Spleen Earth said.

"Is it that doctor doing acupuncture, Liver Wood?" Heart Fire asked.

"Yes, it's him." Liver Wood replied.

"What a blessing, we were almost done for by those other doctors before, who knew we'd encounter a doctor who could actually help us." Spleen Earth said.

"This doctor does indeed have some capabilities, it's the first time I've encountered someone who could restore our functionality; the previous doctors either drained blood and energy or used medicines harming us alongside expelling disease, never considering our feelings." Liver Wood said.

"My little essence treasury's also seeing income now, Heart Fire, you must tell her to keep finding this doctor for treatment until my little essence treasury is filled." Hydronephrosis said.

Just as Heart Fire was about to speak, Lu Jiu's voice sounded.

"No need for that, I'll certainly treat you, rest assured."

"!!!" The five viscera were taken aback.

"Can you hear us talking?" Heart Fire asked.

"Of course, I've always been listening." Lu Jiu answered.

"Wow, someone outside can actually hear us, how remarkable!" Spleen Earth exclaimed.

"Doctor, keep it up, my little essence treasury depends on you, besides, thanks for cleaning out the impurities, allowing me a good rest too." Hydronephrosis added.

"Right, your medicine also helped me recover significantly, truly grateful." Spleen Earth added.

Lu Jiu smiled, "Glad to see you recovering, but now is not the time for chatting, I'd like to ask, apart from using medication to restore your functions, how significant is the enhancement from the recent acupuncture?"

Heart Fire said, "Quite decent, at least increases my fire a bit, but once the acupuncture ends, the fire gradually calms."

Lu Jiu continued, "Is there a chance, while assisting you with acupuncture, you can use this brief enhancement to slowly erode the cold dampness in the lungs?"

Heart Fire paused, "Accumulated in the lungs, this cold dampness is quite formidable, has now become tangible, completely occupying the Fei Jin stronghold; confronting it rashly would surely trigger retaliation, although your medicine has stabilized it, our strength has also recovered, although no absolute certainty, perhaps worth a try!"

Lu Jiu's eyes sparkled, this was precisely what he wanted to hear.

"Alright, I'll now use acupuncture techniques to elevate yang as much as possible, exert your capabilities to tackle this cold dampness; remember, even if unsuccessful, avoid alerting it, at the very least once your strength restores a bit more you can attempt again."

Heart Fire said, "Rest assured, none know it better than I; previously she dragged us down, preventing us from fully exerting our abilities, now with your help, let's see if I don't tear off a piece of it!!"

Oh.

Heart Fire's fiery temper, seems it has endured for quite a while!

What's there to wait for!

Let's battle!!
