Chapter 280 (1/2)

Confused Doctor (3)

These problems were discussed alongside the plague, seeing that the two were somewhat related.

As curing the plague is of utmost urgency, other tasks were, of course, put in second priority. Should there be any form of delay, they would be deemed as sinners!

Many a time questions were held back so as to not interrupt Ye Lang’s train of thought.

And it was believed that once all has been resolved, they would be able to catch up with Ye Lang and have late-night chats!

The production of the medications was done relatively quick after alchemy refinement had been completed. It didn’t require seven thousand seven hundred and forty-nine hours - just one.

This was one of the advantages of pure alchemy as opposed to alchemy extraction - the gap was too wide and obvious to narrow down.

Though advantageous, the method of production was relatively complicated. If not for Ye Lang’s amazing techniques, physicians would have needed three hours to complete it.

Through this, large crates of medicinal herbs were shrunk down to a palm-sized box of a hundred pills with the same effectiveness!

“Yes! All done!” Ye Lang exclaimed, took the drugs and headed to an ill patient. He then took the patient’s pulse and began treating him with acupuncture. Acupuncture was used to speed up recovery, not because the medication was ineffective.

People had always questioned Ye Lang’s like for acupuncture - they could not understand why he liked to poke and prod people with needles!!

Ye Lang always responded: acupuncture is a form of stimulation that could trigger various energy potentials - he recommends everyone to try it out!

Someone did try and pricked himself with a needle, as seeing is believing. And everyone who tried it agreed with Ye Lang - it WAS a stimulation, triggering the potential... to beat someone up as it was EXTREMELY painful!

Ye Lang hesitated to teach acupuncture simply because he didn’t want anyone to know of it - it would be troublesome, according to him. The art of acupuncture was a complicated one and various skills and knowledge are to be acquired. By the time it had been mastered by the people, he would need a walking cane, so why waste his time?

Besides, it would be best to let those who didn’t belong to this world to return back to the earth. The world has its own set of laws and systems, and an additional item may not be welcomed.

Alright, I’ll admit it! I was a little selfish - I just don’t feel like teaching them!

After administering the medication, Ye Lang took the patient’s pulse to observe and analyze any pharmacodynamic effects of the medication, keen to find out if the medication worked.

The crowd stared on as Ye Lang took the pulse. They were utterly confused as to why Ye Lang was holding his patient’s hand. The crowd did not know of pulse-taking, and Ye Lang had not clarified it to them either.

Though they knew nothing, they were indeed certain of one thing -this method allowed Ye Lang to diagnose a patient. They waited anxiously and prayed that it would be successful.

The anxiousness was not only with the crowd. The physicians, patients, clergy - everyone in Sheng CIty were also praying, hoping the Ye Lang will accomplish the nearly impossible task.

Everyone now waited with their hearts in their throats, waiting for the solution to be announced...
