Chapter 308 - He Could Truly Be Cured!

Chapter 308 He Could Truly Be Cured!
In the living room.
Fang Qiu took a wooden board and wrapped a cotton cloth around it before he asked the woman to place her child on the wooden board.
Then, he took off the child’s clothes and started to treat him via acupuncture.
In fact, he had already given this matter some thought when he went out earlier to buy acupuncture needles.
There was indeed an effective treatment for myasthenia gravis by using acupuncture. Furthermore, Fang Qiu’s treasure book on acupuncture had a detailed treatment for myasthenia gravis which was why he was so confident in his abilities.
However, he didn’t place blind confidence in the treasure book.


There might be a cure for this disease but the child and his mother had been to so many famous physicians and hospitals to no avail. This meant that the child’s condition was very serious.
Each person would react differently to acupuncture treatment and one’s physical condition played a big part as to whether one could be treated effectively. Thus, Fang Qiu wasn’t sure whether his treatment would be effective.
He might not necessarily be able to cure him via acupuncture under such circumstances.
Acupuncture is China’s unique medical skill of using external treatment to treat internal ailments. It stimulated the pressure points in one’s body by using meridians and acupuncture points as conduits to treat ailments.
In other words, in addition to the acupuncture needles, one’s pressure points and meridians were crucial in determining how effective an acupuncture treatment was.
There were some people whose acupuncture points were sealed because their meridians and collateral channels were blocked. Thus, it would be hard to stimulate their pressure points and meridians even with acupuncture treatments which resulted in the treatment being less effective than it would otherwise be.

Would the treatment be more effective if I were to send my internal Qi into his body and use it to travel through all his pressure points and meridians before I start my treatment?
He wondered.
Fang Qiu at the realization.
Then, he started his treatment.
He opened his new box of acupuncture needles and selected a filiform needle.



Cuan Zhu acupuncture point!

He inserted the needle between the boy’s brows as everyone watched.
Then he began to manipulate the needle.
After the read the treasure book on acupuncture, he had completely grasped the method of using the needle to regulate the Qi. He was able to regulate the Qi once he inserted the needle without the need to manipulate the needle.
However, he was merely manipulating the needle for the sake of the crowd.
As he manipulated the needle, he secretly controlled on his internal Qi and used the filiform needle as a conduit to send it into the child’s body.
After his internal Qi entered the child’s body, it flowed smoothly from the child’s Cuan Zhu point to the Zhu Kong, Yang Bai, Yu Yao, Tai Chong, Tai Xi, Xia Xi points.
The child’s pressure points were completely open, likely because of his physical condition and also because he had been ill for a long time. There was no sign of any blockage at all.
However, his meridians that connected each pressure point were completely different.
Fang Qiu could sense that the child’s meridians were very blocked. This meant that after his pressure points were stimulated, this stimulation was unable to travel to the next pressure point because of the blockages in his meridians.


This also significantly affected the effectiveness of acupuncture treatment on the boy.
Fortunately, the child was still young and his meridians were still very thin, so it was easy to get rid of the blockages.
Fang Qiu used his internal Qi to clear the blockages in the child’s meridians.
After this was done, he stopped manipulating the needle and carefully extracted the needle.
Then, he picked up the rest of the filiform needles and started to insert them based on the technique he pulled from memory.
The selected pressure points were: Cuan Zhu, Si Zhu Kong, Yang Bai, Yu Yao, Tai Chong, Tai Xi and Xia Xi.
The matching pressure points were: He Gu, Da Du, Pi Shu, Bai Hui, Zusanli, Zhong Shu, Yin Ling Quan, and San Yin Jiao.
He moved very quickly and didn’t need to manipulate the needle.
Soon, he had selected a pair of major acupressure points on the child’s hands and legs and inserted the needles.
Then, he stopped.


He extracted the needles 20 minutes later.
He used the other filiform needles and inserted them at the child’s Bladder Meridian of Foot-Taiyang, Gallbaldder Meridian of Foot-Shaoyang, and orbicularis at the boy’s temples. Then he gently used his needles to tap up and down and from the inside to the outside.
No one knew how long the whole process was and everyone watched with bated breath as Fang Qiu completed the treatment.
He deliberately directed his internal Qi through the pressure points of the child when he extracted the needles to reinforce the effects of his treatment.
Then, he noticed that the child’s condition improved significantly.
The child used to have a squint, had droopy eyelids and a dull gaze. However, the moment Fang Qiu extracted the needles, the child’s eyes seemed to normalize and he didn’t have a squint any longer. His eyes also seemed livelier than before.

Mom, mom…

The child stretched out his hands toward his anxious mother and sweetly called for his mother.
The sickly child seemed to have disappeared and an adorable child with a sweet personality took his place.

Ah—
The woman cried out when she heard her child’s cry. Then, she gave him a once over before her knees suddenly gave way. She knelt on the ground and hugged her child tightly through happy tears when he approached her.


Everyone could tell that she was smiling.
However, tears rolled down her cheeks uncontrollably.
Fang Qiu smiled happily as he watched this scene.
He also breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had been confident earlier, he wasn’t completely sure that he could pull it off, so he had been very worried throughout the whole process.
He felt as though a huge burden had been lifted when he saw that the child was cured.
On the other hand, everyone gathered in the living room was astonished when they heard the child’s cry.
They were shocked!
They were extremely astonished!
That’s right.
They sincerely hoped that the child would get better but they knew that it seemed like an impossible task since many famous physicians and doctors at the hospitals have failed to cure the child.
Thus, how could Fang Qiu cure him?
Fang Qiu might be able to treat patients and could be considered a skilled physician, but they knew that he was just a college student in spite of his talents.
How could a student who had only attended six months’ worth of classes at the University of Chinese Medicine be more effective than those doctors at the hospitals or those famous physicians?
Of course not!
Thus, they were all well aware of the fact that it was impossible for Fang Qiu to cure the child even though they hoped the child would make a recovery.
However, Fang Qiu managed to cure the child.
He truly managed to pull it off!
He truly cured the child!
They all turned in unison to look at the child and after they were sure that the child’s condition had normalized, they turned back to look at Fang Qiu in astonishment.
This time, the look in their eyes was completely different!

Did he just manage to cure him?


Uh, this is simply too miraculous!


Am I seeing things? Did Fang Qiu just cure the child?


He’s a miraculous doctor. Fang Qiu is a miracle worker!


This child has been ill for an entire year. The famous physicians and doctors at the hospitals couldn’t do anything to help him, so how did Fang Qiu manage to cure him in less than an hour’s time?


Oh my God, I have just witnessed a miracle.


Amazing! His medical skills are comparable to a miraculous doctor.


What do you mean by ‘comparable’? He’s practically a god. Who else would be able to cure this child’s illness?

Everyone exclaimed in surprise and heaped praised upon him after a short moment of stunned silence.
On the other hand, Fang Qiu was also slightly surprised as he watched the child in the woman’s arms who seemed much livelier than before.
He didn’t expect the treatment to be so effective.
According to the secret technique, he would need to use this treatment once a day to treat this illness and each treatment cycle consisted of 10 acupuncture sessions. There needed to be a break of three days between each cycle and it would take two or three treatment cycles before the illness could be cured.
However, the boy’s condition had improved so significantly after just one acupuncture session.
At the same time, he thought of another possibility— his internal Qi!
He had used his internal Qi to clear the child’s meridians before he started the acupuncture session and used his internal Qi to bring out the full effects of the session after he completed his acupuncture session.
This technique that combined both his internal Qi and acupuncture techniques produced extraordinary results just as he had expected!
This made him extremely excited.
He was surprised to have stumbled upon such an effective method of treatment after he applied his hypothesis to a real-life case.
Wouldn’t this discovery stun the entire field of Chinese Medicine?

Child, my child…

The woman sobbed in happiness as she hugged her child tightly to her. Then, she looked at Fang Qiu and was about to kneel to express her gratitude when Fang Qiu stretched out his hand and stopped her.

Thank you, thank you, thank you,
she repeated emotionally through sobs.

You’re welcome. I was only doing my duty,
he said with a smile.
Although it seems like the child as recovered, this illness isn’t completely cured yet. You must remember to bring him back here every day for an acupuncture session. Each treatment cycle will be 10 acupuncture sessions; let’s complete one cycle and see how we should proceed from there.


Sure! Sure!
The woman nodded repeatedly.
She had been thrown into the pits of despair and hopelessness over and over again over the past year.
She finally saw a shred of hope today and she would hang on tightly to this shred of hope. She would not give up no matter what it took.

Oh yes,
a thought seemed to have occurred to her as she asked carefully,
Xiao Qiu, how much are you charging?

Before Fang Qiu could speak, his mother immediately stepped forward and said,
Why are you even bringing up money? I’ve seen how much you’ve suffered for the past year, so now that you’ve finally found a possible cure, how could we bear to make you suffer even more?


Don’t worry. We won’t be collecting anything from you. Our most important priority is to cure your child,
she said.
Fang Qiu smiled and nodded as he said,
Yes, I agree.


Thank you, thank you,
she eked out through sobs.
She sobbed because she was overcome with emotion and because she was touched by the kindness they showed her, but there was no trace of sorrow as she sobbed.
Fang Qiu and his mother nodded in unison.
Then, Fang Qiu told the woman to bring her child back home to rest because there was still another session the next day.
When everyone else realized how amazing Fang Qiu was, they immediately lined up in his living room and wanted to be treated by him.
…
In the span of a day.
Fang Qiu didn’t even step out of his house but the entire county knew that a miraculous doctor who could treat all kinds of strange illnesses had appeared in their midst and he seemed to work wonders.
Fang Qiu shot to fame so quickly that the adults immediately told their children to emulate his example.
In an instant, his peers heard their parents repeating his name over and over again.
Some of them were so vexed that they immediately looked Fang Qiu up. They wanted to see who was this wonder boy who was constantly on their parents’ lips.
