I Have A Dual World Seal

When the patient’s brain CT results came out, Liu Qingyan had already returned to her internal medicine clinic and continued seeing patients.

The doctors waiting for the results were stunned.

"No abnormalities inside the patient’s skull?"

"Is he really fully healed?"

"Fully healed, and there’s no hemorrhage or blockage at all, he’s quite healthy."

"This is miraculous!"

"Is it really possible to use acupuncture needles to stop bleeding and remove hemorrhage inside the body?"

"Is this the needle technique of Ancient Chinese Medicine? If so, doesn’t this mean most craniotomies can be avoided except for tumors?"

"More than that, I wonder whether this needle technique can treat vascular blockages. If it can, most cardiovascular diseases wouldn’t require surgery."

The crowd, "..."

The more they spoke, the more exaggerated it sounded. But having just witnessed Liu Qingyan’s needle demonstration, they felt even that wasn’t a big deal for her.

"You’re all overthinking it. This needle technique isn’t something ordinary people can learn," said Duan Chengru.

"It’s not to be taught to others?" someone asked.

"No, you forgot what I said before. To learn this needle technique, you must first learn Qi Refining, which is Qi Gong," Duan Chengru explained.

"Qi Gong?" Everyone exchanged glances; they hadn’t paid attention to that just now.

"Is it difficult to learn?"

"It’s not like there aren’t any Qi Gong tutorials online. A few decades ago, there was even a craze for it, but how many actually learned it?"

"Weren’t they all scams?"

"I think not necessarily. Just like Hua Country’s martial arts. Even though most are fake, some have actual skills. Otherwise, why would the commotion be so big?" someone questioned.

"So you’re saying Qi Gong really exists, but there are too many frauds who rushed in, making Qi Gong appear fake."

"That’s probably it. Then those who really know Qi Gong keep a low profile. In the small circles where Qi Gong is truly needed, no one fails to recognize its value."

"Should we... ask about it?" Everyone looked at the dean and Duan Chengru.

"Ask what? Forget it; if this could be learned by everyone, would you only be finding out about it now?"

The dean responded tersely, "As long as the patient recovers, that’s enough. Old Qi, you go notify the patient and their family."

"Okay!" Doctor Qi could only agree.

...

The commotion caused by a dozen hospital bigwigs from the inpatient department acting together was considerable, not to mention the other doctors and nurses watching nearby.

So while Liu Qingyan was still at the internal medicine clinic diligently seeing patients, stories about her began circulating in the group chats where she wasn’t present.

"Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! Important news must be repeated three times!"

"Doctor Liu strikes again! She just received three banners at noon, and by the afternoon, she saved a patient with massive intracranial bleeding."

"The key point is, the patient is already eighty years old!"

"Needle technique and blood guiding! The dean and Professor Duan were present at the time and were all dumbfounded!"

"Damn! Is Traditional Chinese Medicine really this strong?"

"I’m confident again. I’ve decided to devote myself entirely to studying Traditional Chinese Medicine and promoting its culture!"

"In the ancient texts, they talked about things like the ’Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles’ and ’Spiritual Pivot Nine Needles,’ claiming they could bring the dead back to life and heal bones. I thought it was exaggerated."

"Indeed it’s exaggerated, but we may have greatly underestimated our predecessors’ knowledge and skills."

"Traditional Chinese Medicine has survived for thousands of years and still thrives even after the widespread adoption of modern medicine. There must be something valuable there."

"The state is actively promoting Traditional Chinese Medicine and wouldn’t do so without reason."

"Reinterpreting Traditional Chinese Medicine with modern science might lead to its resurgence."

"We’re witnessing a good time!"

"Tsk tsk, does this mean in the future, with Doctor Liu present, the hospital won’t need to perform cardiovascular surgeries?"

"Hehe, those pieces of equipment and medications..."

"Be cautious with your words."

"Haven’t you noticed, Doctor Liu has been at the hospital consulting for a few weeks and hasn’t encountered any illness she couldn’t handle."

"The key point is, she can determine the cause and pathology of a disease just by feeling the pulse. I ask you, have you ever seen another great doctor with such skill before?"

"She’s too strong, and she’s beautiful and kind. She treats patients with warmth like spring."

"But towards certain male doctors who approach her, she’s as cold as winter."

"Nonsense, that’s slander. Doctor Liu is not cold to us; she even nodded and smiled at me!"

"Hmm, your standards are really low, but I did indeed see her. It was a polite yet distant smile, much like the desolation of autumn."

"Ah hahaha!"

"That stings even more!"

"When I chat with Doctor Liu and mention her boyfriend, she always has a happy smile. Don’t even think about it."

"Aah, I want to duel with him!"

"A sword duel?"

"Get lost!"

...

The effect of those three banners at noon manifested by the afternoon. Many patients specifically wanted to book an appointment with Liu Qingyan, causing her slots to sell out as soon as the afternoon began.

Keep in mind, Liu Qingyan diagnoses extremely quickly and doesn’t need machine assistance. She feels the pulse, applies the needle, and prescribes medicine all in one go, seeing more patients than other experts.

Yet even so, her slots were swiftly snapped up.

Liu Qingyan only consults one day a week, and there are no online reservations, only on-site bookings, so there haven’t been ticket scalpers yet.

Though there were many patients, they all had common ailments. Liu Qingyan saw patients all afternoon and, by the end of the day, only encountered two interesting cases, which she happily noted in her little notebook as material for future medical books.

Although such cases only come by two or three a week, it’s already more fruitful than when Liu Qingyan was practicing at Renxin Hall.

Feeling happy, Liu Qingyan changed into a dress, paired it with a light chiffon overlay, donned her sunglasses, and walked out of the hospital gate towards the still bright sunshine.

"Qingyan!"

"Lu Lang~"

"Mr. Lu!"

Lu Zheng was leaning against the car by the roadside, waiting for Liu Qingyan, when he saw Elder Duan suddenly appear next to her.

"Elder Duan?"

Lu Zheng raised an eyebrow, not expecting to encounter Duan Chengru here.

But thinking it over, it made sense. Duan Chengru is a well-known scholar of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and as Longhua Hospital is the largest Traditional Chinese Medicine hospital in Hai City, it was reasonable for him to be invited to consult there after retiring from Beidu.

"What a coincidence. I just mentioned you to Doctor Liu this afternoon, and now I meet you after work," Duan Chengru laughed.

He genuinely wasn’t following Liu Qingyan. He had simply been in the hospital studying cases with other doctors and was heading home at the end of the day.

It just so happened that he met Liu Qingyan at the exit and took a couple of extra steps, spotting Lu Zheng.

"Oh?" Lu Zheng looked at Liu Qingyan.

Liu Qingyan smiled, "This afternoon, I encountered a patient with intracranial hemorrhage, and Elder Duan was there. You were coincidentally mentioned."

Lu Zheng nodded in understanding, "I see."
