Yang Dou'er, as the hidden dragon of the Empress and her personal guard, was well aware of the Empress's condition. Her face was filled with worry, unsure of what to do next. The imperial physician they had summoned could handle ordinary injuries, but when it came to ailments caused by cultivation techniques, he was at a loss.
Sending Li Mingde to the physician was merely a formality; after all, they couldn't just ignore the situation. "Sigh, Chen Anlin, you should go back for now," Yang Dou'er said, shaking her head.
Chen Anlin remained silent, as part of his consciousness had entered the Fortune Vessel, searching for medical techniques that could address complex ailments. To his surprise, he soon found something.
【Medical Technique Compendium】
It required fortune points for exchange.
There were cheaper options available, but it was clear that the more expensive ones would be better. Chen Anlin gritted his teeth and decided to exchange for it. He was almost certain that the Empress's future decline in cultivation was directly related to her current ailment. Therefore, he had to find a way to cure her.
The stronger the Empress became, the more beneficial it would be for him; helping her was akin to helping himself. After all, she was his greatest support.
【You have exchanged for the Medical Technique Compendium. You are prepared to:】
【1: Immediately practice to become extraordinary. Consumes fortune points.】
【2: Seek out experimental subjects to practice with the Medical Technique Compendium. Consumes fortune points.】
【3: Use your own body as an experimental subject to understand the mysteries of medicine; however, this may be extremely dangerous and could lead to premature death. Consumes fortune points.】
Looking at these options, Chen Anlin chose without hesitation. The first option relied solely on his own cultivation—what if his talent wasn't sufficient? That posed some risk. The second option involved potential danger as well; he could end up dead if things went wrong.
He was left with only his luck value, and he couldn't afford to act recklessly. Therefore, he chose to proceed carefully. After all, this was merely a simulated experiment within the Luck Immortal Bottle; it didn’t matter.
[You decide to seek out an experimental subject to refine your medical techniques. You set your sights on Yang Dou, leveraging her trust in you to kill her and then study her corpse.]
[Three years later, you have thoroughly examined her inside and out. You have gained insights into the mysteries of the human body. (Entry Level) Consumed luck value.]
[Next, you focus on Su Menghan, who trusts you. Upon learning that you want her as a test subject, Su Menghan contemplates for three breaths before agreeing, but she has one condition: she wishes for you both to wed. You agree.]
[That same day, you begin your experiments on her. A year later, under your trials, Su Menghan survives, and your medical skills improve. (Minor Improvement) Consumed luck value.]
[To support you, Su Menghan secretly brings her close friends, younger sister, older sister, and other female students from the academy as subjects for your experiments. You conduct tests on each one, gaining immense experience; now even the most challenging ailments are manageable for you. (Major Improvement) Consumed luck value.]
[Ten years later, you persuade Su Menghan to stop bringing people in; you no longer need experimental subjects. She listens to your advice. However, your medical skills stagnate unexpectedly, leaving you puzzled about the issue. Su Menghan once again brings in subjects for you, and through these experiments, you rediscover that feeling. This time, everything falls into place; you've achieved mastery. (Great Perfection) Consumed luck value.]
Once again consuming luck value, he found himself with very little left. But the rewards were immense; he had successfully refined his medical techniques.
Regardless of age or gender, the human body's structure appeared as a three-dimensional diagram etched into his mind. He could resolve various ailments and poisons with ease.
"Chen Anlin, what are you dawdling for? I'm talking to you!" Yang Dou waved her hand in front of Chen Anlin's face, murmuring inwardly: Could it be that hearing about His Majesty's illness has made him overly worried and stunned?
Sigh, this child is still as timid as he was in childhood.
"Sister Dou'er, I've recently learned some medical skills; I want to give it a try and heal His Majesty," Chen Anlin said after snapping back to reality without any hesitation.
"Huh?" Yang Dou's eyes widened in astonishment as she exclaimed, "What did you say? You're going to treat His Majesty?"
"Yes, Sister Dou'er! Don't you believe me?" Chen Anlin raised an eyebrow.
Yang Dou shook her head in disbelief and said, "Of course I don't believe you. When did you ever learn medicine? I never knew about it! Alright, just go back. It's busy enough here without you causing more trouble."
Seeing that Yang Dou was truly skeptical, Chen Anlin simply grabbed her hand.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
"Sister Dou, let me take your pulse first."
"Stop messing around."
As Yang Dou tried to pull her hand away, Chen Anlin had already roughly assessed her physical condition.
"Sister Dou, I didn't expect your liver fire to be so strong. Have you been sleeping poorly lately? Always overthinking and feeling anxious, especially in your chest? Is it a dull pain on both sides?"
Chen Anlin quickly listed the symptoms he had detected, leaving Yang Dou stunned.
"Oh my gosh, how does this kid know all of this?"
Recently, she had indeed been experiencing some pain in her chest, and it was affecting both sides. She had consulted a royal physician before, but he couldn't figure out how to treat it and said there was nothing wrong with her.
Now that Chen Anlin had pinpointed the issue so quickly, didn't that mean he was even better than the royal physician?
Suddenly, Yang Dou's eyes lit up with realization. She asked seriously, "How did you figure this out?"
"Sister Dou, didn't I just say? I really do know medicine. Your symptoms are simply due to excessive liver fire."
"What can I eat to resolve this excessive liver fire?" Instinctively, Yang Dou rubbed her chest; the discomfort had been quite bothersome lately, and she wished someone could help her.
"This isn't a serious condition, so medication isn't necessary. The cause is likely that you've been eating too many rich foods lately, which has led to an overabundance of liver fire and nutrients! You should eat lighter meals for now—things like mung bean soup or winter melon soup—and definitely consume more fruits and vegetables. Oh, and make sure to drink plenty of hot water. However, these methods may not be very effective."
"Then how can I get better quickly?" Yang Dou found herself believing him a little more as Chen Anlin spoke confidently. She thought to herself that Chen Anlin had grown up; he was quite clever now.
"If you let me perform my special acupressure massage on you, the results will be very quick."
As he spoke, Chen Anlin made a couple of forceful grabbing motions in the air.
