Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 100: Chapter 97: Ancient Medical Prescriptions

Huang Hongying was immediately startled, “What does this mean?”

Huang Jialin gave a wry smile, “Wasn’t I worried about my uncle’s health, afraid that there might be something wrong with the prescription? So this morning, while no one was paying attention, I secretly called my older brother and told him about it. My older brother didn’t believe it was true either, and copied down the prescription to go to National Medical Hall to find Professor Gong Qiyun.”

“Is that the same old TCM doctor who treated my dad before?” Huang Hongying had heard this name before; it seemed that many years ago, this person had treated her father’s leg, but neither traditional Chinese acupuncture nor herbal medicine were of any help.”

Huang Jialin nodded, “Yes, that professor. My older brother found him and explained the situation, and also handed him the prescription to look at. Guess what happened?”

“What happened?” Huang Hongying pressed.

“The old professor was very excited after seeing the prescription, and after checking some references, he couldn’t help but praise how brilliant the formula was. He also said that this prescription is very likely to be one of the remedies from ‘Shu Jun’s Herbal Collection’,” Huang Jialin explained.

Huang Hongying was confused, “‘Shu Jun’s Herbal Collection’ is what?”

“My brother asked Professor Gong; ‘Shu Jun Cai Yao Lu’ is an ancient medical tome that has been lost for many years. It’s said that the author was a disciple of Hua Tuo. To study medicine, he went into the mountains of Shu alone, built a hut and tested drugs on himself. Afterwards, he compiled his medical achievements into ‘Shu Jun Cai Yao Lu’.”

“However, this medical treasure has been lost to the present day. Professor Gong, who has been involved in traditional Chinese medicine and pharmacology for many years, has his own private collection and secret formulas. It’s said that he has some fragments of ‘Shu Jun Cai Yao Lu’, and Huo Sining’s prescription, in its use of herbs, is very similar to that in ‘Shu Jun Cai Yao Lu’. It’s very likely to have come from the hands of Shu Lord himself!”

Huang Jialin wasn’t very clear about these details; these were all explained to him by Huang Jiapeng. However, from his tone, one could tell that Professor Gong highly esteemed this formula. Moreover, Huang Jiapeng said that if it wasn’t for Professor Gong having work commitments and being unable to come to S City, he would definitely have set out immediately to meet Huo Sining in person, as the professor was very eager to meet the person capable of writing a prescription from ‘Shu Jun’s Herbal Collection’.”

“So, Professor Gong also believes that this prescription can help my father?” Huang Hongying was immediately overjoyed, “I’m sure it’s real. Ningning said she recognized an old beggar as her teacher, didn’t she? The Qigong Massage Technique came from that old beggar, right? That prescription must be taught to her by him! Since she grew up in Sichuan and Shu, that old beggar must be a hermit who has inherited the true teachings of ‘Shu Lord’s Herbal Collection’!”

A hermit that easy to encounter? Huang Jialin couldn’t help but scoff inwardly. Although what Huang Hongying said sounded like a plot from a martial arts novel, Huang Jialin had to admit that her explanation made sense. Otherwise, how could one explain Huo Sining, an orphan, casually writing out an ancient prescription and having such a peculiar skill as Qigong Massage?

Huo Sining had no idea that a casual lie had dragged so many people into this, nor would she ever know that, after she told the lie, somewhere far away in another TCM hospital, an old man had played the role of divine assistance, not only helping to substantiate her lie, but also holding her prescription in high regard, praising its brilliance.

Knowing the prescription was an ancient one, Huang Hongying and Huang Jialin’s previous doubts were swept away, and they looked at Huo Sining as if she was an invaluable treasure, with excitement shining in their eyes.

This time, Huang Jialin didn’t stop his granduncle’s actions. Whatever his elder decided, he went along with it. He was just a bit worried about an old man and a young girl living here alone, so he discussed with Huang Hongying and decided to arrange for a security guard and a family nurse to come over.

Huang Hongying immediately called Su Zhenhua and explained the situation. Su Zhenhua was also overjoyed and agreed right away. He quickly found someone to arrange for security, and nurses from the medical college to come over. Then he found a suitable housekeeper auntie to take care of Huo Sining’s daily meals and domestic hygiene.

Su Jinyuan quickly bought back the herbs required for the prescription, along with a large sand pot for decocting the medicine and a wooden tub for medicinal baths.

Huo Sining could tell that the old man was very anxious about the treatment, so she didn’t delay on purpose and prepared a large tub of medicinal water for the old man to take a bath in the afternoon. After the bath, the old man’s spirits were much improved. Seeing his condition, Huo Sining knew that the medicinal bath had some effect and immediately felt relieved.

After asking the non-essential persons to leave, Huo Sining prepared to treat the old man. This being their second time around, previously Huo Sining didn’t know the root of the problem, so she didn’t dare to use too much Spiritual Energy. This time, she was confident and resolute.

“Uncle Grandpa, I’m going to begin the Qigong treatment. Close your eyes and feel, there may be some sensations of itchiness or pain, but don’t worry. Just bear with it and don’t open your eyes,” she said softly.

Huo Sining gently instructed, and Huang Chengyi obediently closed his eyes.

Huo Sining transformed the Spiritual Energy into fine threads, slowly following the meridians of the old man’s feet upwards.

The repair of neurons was secondary; the muscles in the old man’s legs showed obvious functional degradation due to insufficient regulation over the years, causing accumulation around the blood vessels. Inside were all necrotic blood cells, leading to vascular blockage.

To properly treat the leg ailment and restore normal function, at the very least, the blood vessels of the lower body had to be cleared and the vitality of those cells reawakened, allowing his legs to regrow into normal legs.

This task was substantial; it took over three hours, and she didn’t stop until her Spiritual Energy was completely exhausted.

The necrotic cells and toxins in the blood were all cleansed by the Spiritual Energy. The next step was to reawaken these dead cells.

The old man felt exceedingly comfortable all over his body after being treated with Spiritual Energy and fell into a deep sleep.

“How is it?” Seeing Huo Sining come out the door, the anxious crowd waiting outside couldn’t help but ask.

Drained of Spiritual Energy, Huo Sining was extremely fatigued. She stiffly forced a smile, “The effect should be quite good. Judging by this, it will only take about three months for Uncle Grandpa’s legs to regain sensation.”

“The old man has fallen asleep.” Entering the room and seeing the old man sleeping peacefully on the bed with a content face, Huang Jialin felt relieved.

It was then that Huang Hongying noticed Huo Sining’s face was somewhat pale. Realizing that Huo Sining’s Qigong Massage Technique must have been tiring after such a long duration, she felt both grateful and guilty, “Ningning, you must be exhausted, go and have a good rest now, and we’ll call you for dinner.”

Huo Sining truly felt she couldn’t hold on any longer. Hearing Huang Hongying’s words, she nodded, went to her new room, lay on the bed, and soon fell asleep.
