147: Chapter 147: Apprentice to You 147: Chapter 147: Apprentice to You Upon hearing that Wang Yan was going to have a dical competition with Sun Da, everyone’s expressions changed differently.
The patients watching around all showed a look of excitent.
Although they had heard of Sun Da’s reputation, since Sun Da beca famous, he rarely showcased his dical skills.
Now that they could see Sun Da’s skills, everyone was highly anticipating it.
However, Fang and her group couldn’t help but worry because they had long heard that Sun Da’s dical skills were exceptional and had reached a magical level.
Competing with Sun Da would only lead Wang Yan to disgrace himself in front of everyone.
Sun Da was initially stunned when he heard Wang Yan’s words, and then he sneered contemptuously.
He shook his head, sighed, and said: “What a pity, what a pity, so young and ignorant of the vast sky and the earth, huh, with just you, how many dical classics have you read?
You dare to compete with in dical skills!
Let ask you first, if you can na ten dical books, I’ll compete with you.”
Wang Yan said calmly: “I haven’t read many dical classics, just the ‘Inner Canon of the Yellow Emperor,’ ‘Shennong’s Materia dica,’ ‘Compendium of Materia dica,’ ‘Treatise on Cold Pathogenic and Miscellaneous Diseases,’ ‘Four dical Classics,’ ‘dical Forest Mistakes’…”
As Wang Yan continued to na the ancient dical books, Sun Da initially showed disdain, but as Wang Yan nad more and more ancient texts, Sun Da couldn’t help but be surprised.
Especially so of the books that Wang Yan ntioned, which were long lost ancient texts, even Sun Da had only heard of their nas before, and Wang Yan could recite them imdiately.
Suddenly, Sun Da widened his eyes, blinked continuously, and his mouth opened so wide it could almost fit an egg.
After Wang Yan nad more than ten books, he stopped, glanced lightly at the stunned Sun Da, and said: “Sir Sun, have you read all these dical classics?”
Sun Da was startled, imdiately realized he was out of sorts, and quickly said: “Of course, I’ve read all these books, but even if you’ve read them all, what’s the use?
You have to rember them, be able to recite them backwards.
For example, in the ‘Inner Canon of the Yellow Emperor,’ it says, ‘In ancient tis, those who understood the way of heaven were rooted in life, a foundation in Yin and Yang.
In the world, within the six directions…
hmm, within the six directions…’
After saying a few sentences, Sun Da suddenly got stuck, unable to rember the rest for a mont.
However, Sun Da was a wily old fox and imdiately waved it off, saying: “Forget it, even if I say it, you wouldn’t know it.”
Wang Yan’s mouth curled slightly, showing a faint smile.
He then loudly recited: “Within the six directions, its energy is in the Nine Provinces, with nine orifices, five organs, all communicating with the sky’s energy.
There are five lives, and three energies, and those who breach this will be hard by evil energy.
This is the foundation of longevity.”
Upon hearing Wang Yan fluently recite from the ‘Inner Canon of the Yellow Emperor,’ Sun Da widened his eyes once more, his mouth agape even more, almost able to swallow an orange.
Although the surrounding people had not read the ‘Inner Canon of the Yellow Emperor,’ just by looking at Sun Da’s face, they understood that Wang Yan had been leading the entire ti.
Upon seeing that Wang Yan could even outshine Sun Da, everyone showed a look of amazent.
The changes in their expressions didn’t escape Sun Da’s notice.
He quickly shook his head and said: “Kid, your mory is good.
Earlier, I was just testing you.
However, let tell you, even if you can recite the books, it’s useless.
A true Divine Doctor must master observation, listening, questioning, and pulse-taking.
Accurate pulse-taking is not sothing that can be mastered in one or two years.”
At this mont, a look of impatience appeared on Wang Yan’s face.
He slightly frowned and said: “Enough talking, since it’s all been said, let’s compete in observation, listening, questioning, and pulse-taking to see who is more accurate.
How about that?”
Sun Da shook his head, saying: “I’ve been imrsed in the skills of observation, listening, questioning, and pulse-taking for dozens of years.
Let’s talk about observation…”
While Sun Da was still prattling on, Wang Yan motioned for the first patient standing at the door to co in.
After just a glance, he said to Sun Da: “Look at this patient’s symptoms?”
Interrupted, Sun Da was very dissatisfied and coldly said: “Since it’s observation, listening, questioning, and pulse-taking, we must not only look but also listen, ask, and take the pulse.
Kid, let teach you what pulse-taking is today.”
With that, Sun Da moved to the table, and the four big n behind him imdiately brought over a chair for him.
Sun Da looked at the shabby chair, shook his head, reluctantly sat down, and beckoned the patient: “Co here and give your wrist.”
The patient, seeing Sun Da was going to take his pulse, quickly stepped up to Sun Da and extended his wrist.
Sun Da didn’t care whether Wang Yan was also going to take the pulse.
He arrogantly extended his right hand with two fingers and pressed on the patient’s wrist, then slightly closed his eyes while stroking his white long beard and shaking his head.
After a little while, Sun Da slowly opened his eyes and said lightly: “You’re weak, with internal organ issues.”
At this, the patient jumped in surprise and quickly said: “Internal organ problems?
So serious?
What should I do?”
Before Sun Da could finish speaking, Wang Yan said: “You feel cold in the limbs, have numbness in hands and feet, fatigue, insomnia with many dreams, forgetfulness, and palpitations.”
Upon hearing Wang Yan’s words, the patient imdiately withdrew his wrist from Sun Da’s fingers and turned to Wang Yan, eyes showing approval, nodding continuously: “Yes, yes, I do have these symptoms.
I’m always cold and forgetful.
Could it really be my internal organs?”
Wang Yan shook his head and said: “Feeling cold is due to weak energy, forgetfulness is due to weak blood.
The root cause is simply a deficiency, not an illness.
No need for dication, just go ho and strengthen your diet.”
Upon hearing Wang Yan’s words, the patient was overjoyed and said: “Just eating will help?”
Wang Yan nodded and said: “The ancient saying goes: better nutrition through food than through dicine.
Your condition isn’t serious.
Let recomnd so recipes: Lotus Seed Soup with Chinese Yam, Stewed Pigeon with Ginseng, and Pig’s Trotters Braised with Peanuts and Dates.
Have one of these dishes each day and repeat every three days.
Within a hundred days, you’ll fully recover.”
The patient bowed repeatedly to Wang Yan, filled with gratitude, and slowly backed away.
Even after leaving, he didn’t glance at Sun Da again.
Seeing this, Sun Da beca sowhat enraged out of sha and said, “Daring to speak without pulse-taking, it must have been a guess.
Next patient, co in quickly.”
Now the second patient entered, and Sun Da imdiately grabbed the person’s wrist and seriously began pulse-taking.
Before Sun Da could finish, Wang Yan said: “You have a symptom of phlegm heat disturbing the mind, with a flushed face, coarse breathing, expectoration that’s hard to dispel, a red tongue with a yellow and greasy coating.
Take 30 grams each of Tianhua Fen and Kudzu Root, soak in water and drink.
You’ll recover within fifteen days.”
With that, Wang Yan gestured, and San had already written the prescription as Wang Yan spoke, handing it to the patient.
When Wang Yan diagnosed the illness, the patient was already nodding continuously.
Once San finished writing the prescription, he respectfully took it and ignored Sun Da, exiting the room directly.
At this ti, Sun Da’s fingers were still suspended in the air, maintaining the pulse-taking posture, with a look of shock on his face.
Because he had just finished taking the pulse and found that the condition was exactly as Wang Yan described, without a single mistake.
That ant Wang Yan didn’t need to take the pulse to correctly diagnose the patient’s condition.
While Sun Da was still in a daze, the patients kept flowing in like water.
Wang Yan glanced briefly to accurately tell the patient’s condition, and he was completely correct every ti.
Each patient fully agreed.
Initially, Sun Da was pompously confident.
Now sitting next to Wang Yan, he beca just a decoration.
Soon, in less than half an hour, Wang Yan diagnosed over 90 patients, with only one last patient remaining.
Seeing the last patient walk in, Sun Da quickly jumped up, grabbed the patient’s wrist, and shouted: “Wang Yan, kid, stop talking nonsense.
I’ll treat this patient.”
Wang Yan glanced at the patient and said calmly: “I’m afraid you may not be able to cure him.”
Sun Da replied defiantly: “There’s no patient that I, Sir Sun, can’t cure.”
With that, Sun Da grasped the patient’s wrist and earnestly began pulse-taking.
But monts later, Sun Da’s expression turned gloomy, and half a minute later, he released the patient’s wrist with a forlorn expression and said: “No traditional Chinese doctor can cure this condition.”
Wang Yan smiled lightly and said: “I can cure it.”
Upon hearing this, Sun Da sneered and blustered: “If I can’t cure this patient, then no one can.
If you can, you’re truly a Divine Doctor.
If you cure him, no one will believe it.”
