Chapter 321 - His Return to the Hospital (1/2)

Chapter 321 His Return to the HospitalHe looked at Fang Qiu.

Xu Miaolin tried his best to conceal the shock he felt because he didn’t want Fang Qiu to notice how shocked he felt.

It would be far too embarrassing for a teacher to be so astonished at how skilled his student was.

“Have you learned acupuncture before?” Xu Miaolin asked.

“No, I haven’t,” Fang Qiu replied as he shook his head. “I only started to pick this up myself after I returned from Feng Xuexin’s place.”

“Hmm?” Xu Miaolin’s eyes bulged in surprise.

How long has it been?

How did he manage to learn so much from studying acupuncture himself that he could even perform a flying acupuncture technique?

Xu Miaolin was gobsmacked but he did not express his astonishment.

While he had acknowledged Fang Qiu was extraordinarily talented in the field of Chinese Medicine, he didn’t imagine how talented Fang Qiu could be in this field. Fang Qiu had managed to learn more than a hundred types of acupuncture styles in a short time and even mastered the flying acupuncture technique that very few Chinese physicians could perform. He had even combined his Qigong with his acupuncture style.

If this was made public, wouldn’t the revered veterans in the Chinese Medicine community look at him like some kind of freak?

Xu Miaolin resolved that he would never reveal Fang Qiu’s extraordinary talent to anyone else. Otherwise, everyone would jostle to take him under their wing.

Fang Qiu would be doomed if his head were to be turned by all these.

A talent like Fang Qiu had to be carefully groomed!

He deliberated for a moment.

Xu Miaolin didn’t intend to accept Fang Qiu as his disciple, so he thought that it would be better for Fang Qiu to be his student.

“You’ve learned so many acupuncture techniques but how many times have you actually put them into practice?” He asked.

“Twice… I think.” Fang Qiu replied. He thought for another moment before he added, “Once when I treated a child with myasthenia gravis over the lunar new year, and once when I treated your stiff neck.”

“You’ve only put your knowledge to practice twice despite having mastered it for some time now?” Xu Miaolin asked in disbelief.

“Wait, that’s not it,” Fang Qiu said as a thought occurred to him. “There was a third occurrence. I ran into a fellow student with gastric issues in the afternoon on the way back to campus and treated him as well.”

“I wouldn’t have known that you knew acupuncture if it wasn’t for the fact that you had treated the student earlier,” Xu Miaolin said with a wry smile.

“Haha,” Fang Qiu said with a laugh.

“I didn’t think that I would be in awe of your progress one day,” Xu Miaolin said with a shake of his head. Then, he added, “I must admit that it is impressive how you managed to treat a myasthenia gravis patient with acupuncture.”

Fang Qiu nodded.

“You might have learned a lot,” Xu Miaolin thought for a moment before he added. “However, it is important to put what you’ve learned into practice. You’ve learned the ancient acupuncture styles, so let me teach you the modern acupuncture styles tonight.”

“Sure,” Fang Qiu immediately nodded.

“Do you know how to do thread-embedding?” Xu Miaolin asked.

He didn’t want a repeat of the same situation when he was corrected by Fang Qiu.

“No,” Fang Qiu immediately said as he shook his head.

“Haha,” Xu Miaolin chuckled and he quickly forgot about his embarrassment at being corrected by Fang Qiu.

He felt proud of himself and thought, “Kid, you’re still a kid after all. I guess you’ll still have to learn for me no matter how talented you are.”

“Nonetheless, there’s a lot of pressure when it comes to teaching such an outstanding student!”

He felt very pleased as he dug out his phone and dialed a number.

“Hello, junior brother?” A familiar voice could be heard on the other end of the line.

He was talking to none other than Qi Kaiwen.

“Senior brother,” he said with a smile as he glanced at Fang Qiu. “Your junior nephew needs to practice acupuncture, so could you find a way to get him employed at a hospital?”

“Hmm?” Qi Kaiwen stiffened in confusion and asked, “Since when did I have a junior nephew?”

“Fang Qiu,” Xu Miaolin said as he rolled his eyes.

“Oh…” Qi Kaiwen said as he smacked his head. “Oh right, I almost forgot all about him. Isn’t Fang Qiu only a first-year college student? Although his grades are great, this doesn’t mean that he has to start learning about acupuncture now, right? Even if he wants to learn acupuncture, does he really need to do so in a practical environment?”

“Why not?” Xu Miaolin pouted and added, “Do you have a problem with my student being incredibly outstanding?”

“Fine, fine, fine,” Qi Kaiwen chuckled as he agreed to look into Xu Miaolin’s request.

“Oh yes,” Xu Miaolin thought for a moment before he said, “I thought I should let you know a piece of great news. Your junior nephew has already obtained his craftsman doctor license.”

“What?” Qi Kaiwen was astonished.

The craftsman doctor license was no laughing matter.

It was far more difficult to obtain a craftsman doctor license than it was to obtain a Physician’s Qualification Certificate.

How did Fang Qiu manage to obtain his so quickly?

Furthermore, he was only a college student who had only been at college for six months. How could he be so incredible?

“Haha,” Xu Miaolin chuckle proudly when he heard how surprised Qi Kaiwen was.

On the other hand, Qi Kaiwen finally pulled himself out of his shocked reverie and couldn’t help but chuckle as he shook his head.

He didn’t know whether he should marvel at Fang Qiu’s good fortune in having found a good teacher or marvel at his junior brother’s luck in obtaining such a talented disciple.

“Since that’s the case, I’ll reach out to several hospitals now,” Qi Kaiwen said.

“Great, I’ll be waiting for your news,” Xu Miaolin said before he hung up.
