I Can Talk to the Internal Organs-Chapter 186 - 156: Showing Off

This prescription only contains eleven ingredients, which is truly too simplified.

An Xianda originally thought that Lu Jiu would prescribe at least a dozen or twenty ingredients.

After all, lung cancer is a Jueyin disease, and it's extremely difficult to precisely grasp the pathogenesis, let alone align the medication with it.

One must have a profound understanding of the properties of traditional Chinese medicine to use such a simplified prescription!

Soothing the liver, purging the kidneys, and supplementing the spleen.

An Xianda saw three effects from the prescription.

There was nothing superfluous at all.

Even he had to admire that this prescription was truly beautifully crafted!

It practically brought out the properties of each herb, with only cooperation and no conflict among them.

If it hadn't been for getting the prescription from Lu Jiu, An Xianda would have thought this was a prescription from a master of classic formulas.

Judging from the thought process of this prescription, it indeed could have an effect on lung cancer patients, but An Xianda was unsure of its extent.

"Did the patient take this prescription for three days?" An Xianda asked.

"Yes," Lu Jiu replied.

"Any reactions?" An Xianda asked.

"The patient has started actively wanting to eat," Lu Jiu replied.

"?" An Xianda was stunned.

Clearly, this is a sign of the recovery of Gastric Qi.

In just three days, to restore Gastric Qi in a late-stage lung cancer patient condemned by the hospital.

An Xianda suddenly realized he had somewhat underestimated Lu Jiu before.

This kid not only has remarkable acupuncture skills but his level with classic formulas is absurdly high!

As the teacher said, if he's already familiar with The Book of Changes, in twenty years, would he be like Elder Wei?

An Xianda could hardly imagine.

A National Master of Chinese Medicine in his forties, and still comparable to the top-level National Masters, such a person growing up would certainly be a strong stimulant for the prosperity of the field!

However, An Xianda could also see that Lu Jiu was not interested in the revival of Chinese medicine, he just wanted to stick to his own piece of land.

For this, An Xianda couldn't say much.

Everyone has their own ambitions!

But why does this damn talent not belong to me?

Comparing oneself to others can truly be infuriating.

He suddenly disliked Lu Jiu a bit!

Perhaps this is the jealousy of an ordinary person toward a genius.

An Xianda took a photo of the prescription and posted it in the group with his fellow apprentices.

"@Teacher, Teacher this is the prescription Lu Jiu gave to that late-stage lung cancer patient."

Hmph!

I can't be the only one envious!

"?"

"Wait, Xianda, so Lu Jiu is treating a late-stage lung cancer patient now?"

"Hey, that's a bit outrageous, isn't it?"

"He's just in his twenties and dares to tackle cancer, especially at the late-stage, assuming chemotherapy and radiotherapy have been done? No, patients who find small clinics like this are clearly desperately seeking help, absolutely have done it, tsk, he's really bold!"

"Don't mess up, he's our youngest apprentice brother, Xianda, keep an eye on him."

"Wait, wait, examine that prescription carefully, honestly, if I were to prescribe, I couldn't come up with such a beautiful prescription, it's too simplified!"

"Oh wow, it's really true, this prescription is amazing, they're all common herbs, but put together it really means something, this kid's acupuncture is great, and his classic formula level is so high!?"

"..."

Seeing the group already abuzz with discussion, An Xianda smiled without saying anything.

Lu Jiu had already packed up, saw An Xianda staring at his phone with a peculiar smile, and couldn't help but ask, "Brother Da, what are you laughing at?"

An Xianda grinned, "It's nothing, let's go."

"Oh right, you haven't joined our sect's group yet, I'll add you now."

"Our teacher has many students, but only about twenty are taught wholeheartedly, they're all in this group, if you have questions and the teacher doesn't have time to answer, you can ask them in the group."

While speaking, An Xianda had already added Lu Jiu to the chat group.

[Busy People]

Um...

This group name really has a familiar taste.

It kind of has a sense of a family that loves each other dearly.

It turns out the aesthetic standards of middle-aged people are quite similar.

"@everyone, the little apprentice you all have been waiting for is here, quickly welcome him."

After adding Lu Jiu to the group, An Xianda shouted.

Before Lu Jiu could greet them.

The messages from the senior brothers and sisters started pouring out.

"@Lu Jiu, we heard you're treating a late-stage lung cancer patient?"

"Did you really come up with this prescription?"

"Did the lung cancer patient take the medicine? How is it now?" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

"If it's a patient who has undergone chemotherapy and radiotherapy and has been abandoned by the hospital, they should be beyond help, I've seen some in teacher's clinical practice, all without Gastric Qi, your prescription feels a bit like teacher's style."

"Yes, I agree, the thinking is the same, but the herbs are different."

"..."

Faced with the bombardment from everyone, Lu Jiu was momentarily overwhelmed.

How did they know he was treating a lung cancer patient?

The next moment, Lu Jiu looked toward An Xianda.

Feeling Lu Jiu's gaze, An Xianda smiled and said, "I just showed them the prescription you wrote, and mentioned what it's for."

Lu Jiu, half-amused and half-exasperated, said, "Brother Da, you really want me to show off, huh?"

An Xianda waved his hand, "How can this be called showing off, it's called learning from each other and making progress together, good things are meant to be shared."

As he spoke, he typed a line.

"Just asked for you, the patient's Gastric Qi has already recovered, they are actively wanting to eat now."

This caught everyone's attention in the group again, sending the senior brothers and sisters into a frenzy.

They all praised him to the skies, as if they couldn't compliment Lu Jiu enough.

Lu Jiu looked at the scene and was utterly speechless.

Is this mutual learning?

This is blatantly showing off in front of others.

And it's pretending to be someone not so genuine.

Indeed, showing off knows no age limits.

"Brother Da, let's go." Lu Jiu sent a sheepish emoji in the group chat, then muted the notifications.

"Yeah, let's go." An Xianda typed on his phone as he walked.

...

Around eight o'clock.

Lu Jiu and An Xianda arrived at the Experimental Primary School.

Tang Yi and a few seniors were already there.

These people couldn't help but ask Lu Jiu a few questions. As they chatted, Tang Yi naturally learned the details.

Upon hearing that Lu Jiu had taken on another cancer patient, one with late-stage lung cancer declared incurable by the hospital, Tang Yi was utterly shocked.

Breast cancer has a relatively high cure rate, only after it spreads does it become almost hopeless.

The fact that Lu Jiu could treat such patients was already quite impressive.

Now he could even treat late-stage lung cancer patients who had undergone chemo and radiation therapy. Even though Lu Jiu repeatedly stated that he only managed to restore that patient's appetite, in Tang Yi's eyes, it was equivalent to saving them.

In the theory of Chinese medicine, whether a critically ill patient can eat directly determines if they can be saved.

This is the difference between life and death.

After everyone praised Lu Jiu for a while, it was already half-past eight.

The eight of them were led by the principal to a meeting room, where there was also a vice-principal, the director of education, and the homeroom teachers of eight classes.

After further elaborating the meeting's intent, the principal, vice-principal, and director of education each finished their speeches, and An Xianda said a few words as well.

The entire meeting finally ended at ten thirty.

It was evident that the principal of the Experimental Primary School didn't value the policy of integrating Chinese medicine into primary schools. The speeches during the meeting were almost all empty words with no practical meaning, and an hour of solo speaking revealed just one sentence.

Let's just meet the requirements.

Everyone is just going through the motions, dealing with the higher-ups perfunctorily.

Who expects primary school students to make a name for themselves in Chinese medicine?

An Xianda and the others had anticipated that the leaders of the Experimental Primary School would have this attitude, so they weren't too angry.

After a simple formal procedure, the eight of them were assigned to classes, and a schedule was customized for them.

Coincidentally, the first class was the first one in the afternoon.

Honestly, the class arrangement wasn't thoughtful.

Children have the most energy in the morning. The first class in the afternoon, right after kids have their nap, they are groggy and have the lowest learning efficiency.

However, with the current educational competition, being able to spare a class for Chinese medicine is already the limit.

Anything more, and the school might not mind, but parents would definitely protest.

"Brother Lu, lucky us, you're in class three and I'm in class four, they're right next to each other." Tang Yi laughed.

"Yeah, how's the content you're going to teach arranged?" Lu Jiu asked.

"It's alright, you can't teach something too complicated on the first day, so I'll just cover the basics. I've never been a teacher before, and getting on stage for the first time will definitely be nerve-wracking. I hope these kids aren't too rowdy." Tang Yi said.

"A friend of mine said that when teaching these kids, it's best to spark their interest. Simply lecturing won't be very effective." Lu Jiu said.

"I know that too, but how to spark their interest?" Tang Yi asked.

"Try using games." Lu Jiu suggested.

Then, Lu Jiu shared his idea with Tang Yi.

Upon hearing it, Tang Yi's eyes lit up, "Brother Lu, with this, we can spend two or three classes practicing the Five Elements Bridge, then select the most outstanding five-person group for a class PK. I'm sure these kids would be very motivated, and by using games to reward or punish them, we can sneak in some Chinese medicine knowledge, maybe the efficiency will really be higher."

Class PK, huh.

That's actually a pretty good idea.

"Alright, let's give it a try. If it goes smoothly, your idea is quite good." Lu Jiu said.

"No more talking, I'm going back to organize a plan and see how to integrate Chinese medicine knowledge with games." Tang Yi said.

Lu Jiu nodded, said goodbye to An Xianda and the others, and left the school.

Two in the afternoon.

Lu Jiu arrived again at the Experimental Primary School.

A considerable number of parents and kids were accompanying him.

This was prime school time, so naturally, there was a constant flow of people coming and going.

"Hey? Dr. Lu, are you here to drop off a kid too?"

Just as Lu Jiu was about to enter the school, an old man greeting him appeared, holding a little boy.

Upon hearing this, Lu Jiu immediately recognized him as an old man who had previously come to his clinic for treatment.

He laughed helplessly, "I'm not dropping off a kid, I'm here to teach a class."

Teach a class?

The old man was confused, "Aren't you a doctor? When did you change professions to become a teacher?"

Lu Jiu laughed, "It's to teach kids about Chinese medicine, sir."

Upon hearing this, the old man laughed immediately, "Oh, learning Chinese medicine, that's good, that's good. Dr. Lu, what grade are you teaching?"

Lu Jiu replied, "Third grade."

The old man was startled, "Third grade? What class?"

Lu Jiu said, "Class three."

The old man's grandson immediately spoke up, "Grandpa, I'm in class three too."

The old man knew, of course, "Ah, Dr. Lu, that's great. This little rascal is in your class. With your medical skills, how about you teach him well?"

Lu Jiu laughed, "Sure, as long as he's willing to learn."

The old man laughed, "Hurry up and call him Teacher Lu."

The old man's grandson looked reluctant, didn't shout out, stuck out his tongue, and dashed into the school.

He didn't even want to learn regular subjects, let alone Chinese medicine?

Although he also didn't know exactly what Chinese medicine involved.

"This little rascal..." The old man looked at Lu Jiu apologetically, "He's just like that, gets up to mischief if not disciplined for three days."

Lu Jiu chuckled, "You take care. I'm heading in now."

Saying that, he walked into the school.

Before long, Lu Jiu arrived at the teaching building.

Upon finding the third-grade floor, he immediately saw Tang Yi and An Xianda.

At the same time, he also noticed the third-grade homeroom teachers were all present…
