Chapter 118
Fade Chen glanced at Caesar Du and understood what he was thinking. He voiced out. "Based on
Caesar Du's diagnosis, the itch was caused by the body's damp- heat syndrome. So his treatment
method is to find a way to get rid of the dampness and heat."
"If I've guessed it right, when Caesar Du treated President Wu just now, you acupunctured several of
President Wu's acupoints, namely the acupoints at these locations; the 2nd lumbar vertebrae, the
nasolabial fold, the yin meridian, and the elbow. These acupoints have the effect of expelling dampness
and heat, and with strengthened stimulation for a short period of time, it can achieve a therapeutic
effect." Fade Chen explained.
Charles Wu listened as Fade Chen explained with experience. He didn't know if Fade was right, so he
turned his eyes to Caesar Du.
At this moment, Caesar Du's face had turned astonished. This was because Fade Chen had accurately
detailed Caesar's acupuncture points and effects. Had he not confirm that Fade Chen was absent
during his treatment, Caesar would have probably thought that Fade Chen had peeped at his treatment
process.
Although it was somewhat unexpected and hard to accept, Caesar Du nodded at Charles Wu and said,
"Dr. Chen, you have said it precisely."
This time, even Charles Wu was a little surprised. After all, when he came to see Fade Chen, it was his
last resort. It would be great if there would be an improvement. But he hadn't expected Fade Chen to
exceed his expectations. Even Three Needles Junior was shocked.
Charles Wu began to see hope, and he looked at Fade Chen with eyes full of hope.

Fade Chen smiled faintly and continued. He peered at Caesar Du once again and said, "If I'm right,
these are the prescriptions Dr. Du usually gave to President Wu.
"Five grams of Kudzu, three grams of Prunellae Vulgaris, two grams of Rhizoma Smilacis Glabrae; one
gram of Cortex Erythrinae, two grams of Herba Taxilli, one gram of Atractylodes Rhizome; one gram of
Chinese Magnolia Vine, two grams of Biota Seed; and three grams of Prince Ginseng...
"Amongst them, the main effects of Kudzu, Prunellae Vulgaris, and Rhizoma Smilacis Glabrae are to
clear heat; the Cortex Erythrinae, Herba Taxilli, and Atractylodes Rhizome are to dispel dampness; As
for Chinese Magnolia Vine and Biota Seed, they are used to soothe President Wu's itch and calm his
nerves; Lastly, the Prince Ginseng is to nourish his stomach and invigorate his spleen."
After saying this, President Wu was amazed. He didn't know Chinese medicine, but after taking the
herbs for a long time, he vaguely remembered a few familiar names in Caesar Du's prescription.
Caesar Du, on the other hand, was completely shocked. He looked at Fade Chen, his lips quivered,
then he rubbed his eyes and said, "You, how do you know my prescription?"
These words reaffirmed the accuracy of Fade Chen's explanation. He not only named the herbs used,
but also told the exact amount prescribed and their respective medicinal effects.
Such an accurate result shocked Caesar Du. He looked at Fade Chen and stammered, "Who, who are
you?"
Fade Chen smiled but did not answer.
Charles Wu saw Caesar Du's expression and knew that he had met an expert. His heart rejoiced. He
looked at Fade Chen and asked, "Dr. Chen, can my illness be cured?"
Fade Chen nodded and said, "Of course, and I'm going to cure you right now."
" It can be cured on the spot ? Really ?" Charles Wu was surprised and in disbelief.
Caesar Du came back to senses. Once he heard Fade Chen could cure on the spot, he couldn't help
but advised, "Although this disease is not serious, it is not easy to cure. Otherwise, I wouldn't have
spent more than half a year treating it. Moreover, few of the times, it was under my grandfather
guidance."
Fade Chen shook his head and said flatly, "That's because you're not experienced enough. Please
don't blame the complications of the illness."
"You..." It was the first time someone referred Caesar Du as inexperienced, moreover, it came from a
Chinese medicine doctor younger than him.
Fade Chen grinned at Caesar Du, "If you are not convinced, just watch me cure President Wu."
While speaking, Fade Chen picked up the silver needles on the small table next to him.
President Wu quickly move to take off his clothes so as to let Fade Chen use the needles. However,
Fade Chen stopped him and said, "You don't need to take off your clothes. I'll just insert a few needles
on the wrist."
"Acupuncture on the wrist?" President Wu was puzzled.
Caesar Du also had a look of suspicion on his face and he said," The symptoms of this dampness and
heat syndrome that caused itchiness were at the underarms, groin areas and the like, the root of the
symptoms should be in the muscles. What's the use of inserting the needles on the wrist?"
Fade Chen did not explain immediately. Instead, he pinched the silver needle, ran the internal core
energy, or better known as, Chi, in his body, transferred the core energy into the silver needle, and then
quickly poked into the meridians of the wrist. Then, he almost immediately mobilized the internal Chi to
the root of the illness.
Fade Chen had practiced "Kong Fu of Jiu Yang " to the extreme level. The internal core energy in his
body was intense and hot. When the Qi reached the focal point, the root of his illness was completed
scorched. Naturally, Charles Wu's illness was cured.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn less than five minutes, Charles Wu felt a hot and slighting burning sensation at the areas where it
itched. Then, the sensation slowly subsided, and he felt his body became lighter. The itch that used to
be everywhere had been eliminated and he felt completely relieved.
"I, I don't feel itchy anymore!" Charles Wu's face was lit up with astonishment. He even clumsily
scratched his body a few times just to confirm. "It really doesn't itch at all. It's all recovered."
Caesar Du was just as surprised. He rushed over, grasped Charles Wu's wrist and felt his pulse.
A few minutes later, Caesar Du's surprise turned into shock. He couldn't believe it and frowned, "You,
you really cured Uncle Charles' illness?"
"What do you think?" Fade Chen looked at Caesar Du. Even if Caesar Du was reluctant to admit it, he
had to face the reality. His face crumpled while nodding and confirmed the result of Fade Che's
treatment.
Then, he looked at Fade Chen with keen eyes and asked, "How, how did you cure Uncle Charles's
illness ? And why inserting needles on the wrist works ?"
Fade Chen sighed and said, "The meridians of the human body in traditional Chinese medicine are all
connected. Although I inserted the needles on the wrist, I can move the core energy to where the
problem was through the meridians."
"Of course I know the connection of the meridians, but that doesn't mean you can simply..." Caesar Du
frowned. But suddenly, he realized something and darted a surprised look at Fade Chen." Did you just
say that you transferred Chi through the needles ?"
"Yes, I cured President Wu's illness by torching the root of his illness with my vigor energy." Fade Chen
said calmly.
"Vigor energy! You have achieved vigor energy? How is that possible? You're very young" Caesar Du
was appalled. He was even more stunned now compared to the moment when Fade Chen pointed out
his prescription accurately.
