Chapter 318: Chapter 318: Seven Stars Detoxification_1
Hou Jiangbao looked at Wang Juan and continued, "Saving the patient is the priority. We need to revive Mr. Yang first before we can treat his heart condition. Go to the pharmacy across the street and buy a box of Silver Needles. Also, we need an alcohol lamp and some cupping jars."
"Okay."
Wang Juan ran to the pharmacy and quickly brought back everything Hou Jiangbao needed.
"The root cause of Mr. Yang’s heart issue is not his heart itself but the toxins in his blood vessels. So, to save him, we must first expel the toxins from his body."
Hou Jiangbao said this while lighting the alcohol lamp, then began placing the cupping jars one by one onto Yang Jun’s back.
Qin Feng glanced over and realized that Hou Jiangbao indeed had some skills.
Seven cupping jars were placed on Yang Jun’s back, their arrangement resembling the Big Dipper, yet slightly different. This Big Dipper was not fixed; it was alive.
Qin Feng knew this technique was called the "Seven Stars Detoxification."
There were few traditional Chinese medicine practitioners capable of using this technique, and even fewer who could bring it to life.
Initially, thick white smoke collected inside the cupping jars on Yang Jun’s back. Then, a miraculous scene occurred: the white smoke visibly seeped into his skin.
Following that, Yang Jun’s blood vessels suddenly bulged, becoming as thick as pinkies. Strands of black filaments like strands of hair appeared on them.
The black filaments, resembling streams of black water, moved towards the seven cupping jars and eventually gathered inside them, forming seven black clusters of toxins, each about the size of a baby’s palm.
"Look, these are the residual toxins in Mr. Yang’s blood vessels, the culprits behind his heart problems," Hou Jiangbao explained.
After saying this, with a series of pops, he removed all seven cupping jars.
"Divine Doctor Hou is awesome!"
"Divine Doctor Hou is truly the reincarnation of Bian Que and Hua Tuo!"
"Having Divine Doctor Hou is Zhonghai’s fortune!"
...
People praised him, each adding their own compliments.
Hou Jiangbao, of course, enjoyed the praise, his round face beaming brighter than spring flowers.
"Everyone quiet down, I will now detoxify Mr. Yang. Please do not make noise."
Everyone fell silent, waiting for Hou Jiangbao to detoxify Yang Jun.
Witnessing a divine doctor curing illness was something they had never seen before, so many took out their phones to record the event. They wanted to capture this once-in-a-century moment to show off to friends and family.
Seeing the crowd’s anticipation, Hou Jiangbao decided to show off his skills. He knew that once these onlookers uploaded the videos to social media, like Moments and TikTok, those videos would surely hit the trending lists.
That way, his fame as Hou Sanzhen would spread far and wide, making him a household name as Divine Doctor Hou in Zhonghai, and even the whole of Dragon Country!
Hou Jiangbao picked up the first Silver Needle. With a flick of his fingertip, whoosh — the needle shot out and landed at the upper segment of Yang Jun’s spine, the Shendao Acupoint.
As soon as the Silver Needle entered the acupoint, the seven clusters of toxins began to move. Slowly they merged into three. The quantity diminished, but each cluster grew more than twice in size.
Before the onlookers could react, another needle was launched.
"Whoosh!"
This time, the Silver Needle hit the "Zhizun Acupoint."
The three clusters continued to move and intertwined into a single mass, now larger than Hou Jiangbao’s face.
To laypeople, it was a spectacle; but Qin Feng, the professional, saw the crux of the matter.
Hou Jiangbao’s initial cupping was professional, with no mistakes in his operation.
However, those last two needles were pure showmanship, somewhat putting the cart before the horse.
Gathering seven clusters into one for detoxification inflicts significant harm on the patient’s body.
The correct approach should be to detoxify them separately. The seven clusters should at least be broken down into forty-nine, and then, honestly and methodically, the toxins should be expelled needle by needle. That’s the best way to treat the patient, the right thing a real doctor should do.
Unable to watch this display, Qin Feng added, "Doctors should not seek vain glory and perform needless showmanship when treating patients. They should adopt the method that causes the least harm to the body and provide proper care to the patient."
Qin Feng’s words struck like a bolt from the blue, stunning everyone present. All eyes turned to him, as though he was some kind of anomaly.
"Who are you?" asked Hou Jiangbao.
Before Qin Feng could answer, a familiar figure stepped forward; he was Qin Feng’s university classmate, Hua Feiyang.
"His name is Qin Feng. He did well in the college entrance exams and got into Zhonghai Medical University. After graduating, he joined Rende Hospital, one of the top three hospitals in Zhonghai. Unfortunately, he spent three years there without passing the residency, remaining an intern. I’ve heard he was recently fired."
