Chapter 715: Almost Impossible

Chapter 715: Chapter 715: Almost Impossible

In the live stream,

the lurking medical students were completely won over.

The bullet comments exploded with cries of amazement.

In truth, Daoist Sun’s problem wasn’t considered a major illness in clinical terms.

But Li Xu was able to start from the most fundamental passages of the *Inner Canon of the Yellow Emperor*, unraveling the issue layer by layer, perfectly connecting the pathology, pulse, and complexion, and explaining it in the simplest terms for everyone to understand—this was the mark of a true master.

Daoist Sun also nodded repeatedly as he listened, completely convinced and full of admiration.

"Dr. Li, your analysis is so thorough. What medicine should I take?"

Daoist Sun asked.

"It’s not difficult. We just need to replenish your ’motive force’."

Li Xu wrote a prescription. "Just take a modified combination of ’Cinnamon Soup’ and ’Jade Screen Powder’."

"Cinnamon Soup harmonizes the ying and wei, and warms and unblocks the heart-yang to strengthen the heart. Jade Screen Powder tonifies qi to secure the exterior, which is used to fortify the spleen and lungs and block external wind. Once your heart and lung qi are sufficient, your nose will naturally clear up."

Li Xu handed the printed prescription to Daoist Sun.

Daoist Sun accepted the prescription with both hands as if it were a priceless treasure.

But he didn’t get up to leave just yet.

He glanced at the live stream chat, where comments were scrolling by like crazy. There was still a question from a netizen that hadn’t been asked.

"Um... Dr. Li, there’s one more thing..."

Daoist Sun steeled himself and gave a dry laugh. "It’s like this. The netizens in the live stream were very enthusiastic just now, and they strongly suggested I ask a question on their behalf."

"I picked a netizen named ’Flying Man.’ His question is... a little unusual..."

"Ahem... This netizen asks, he recently saw the delay potion sold by Ding’s Pharmaceutical Factory and thinks Chinese medicine is quite magical. So he wants to know... are there any Chinese medicine methods, or any secret herbal formulas, that can make a man’s... uh, ’member’... get bigger? Bigger in a physical sense."

"He specifically emphasized that his own is very large. He’s just... asking for a good buddy."

As Daoist Sun asked the question, the number of bullet comments in the live stream suddenly dropped.

Tens of thousands of pairs of eyes were glued to the screen, everyone waiting for Li Xu’s answer with a mixture of anticipation and mischievous curiosity.

Not only that, in the clinic, the patients who had been looking down at their phones or dozing off while waiting for their turn all raised their heads to look at Li Xu upon hearing the question.

The human spirit of gossip was burning brightly at this moment.

Li Xu was also taken aback for a moment.

He had expected a question about some difficult and complicated illness, not something like this.

For a moment, Li Xu was at a loss for words.

Modern medicine does have some methods to achieve this, such as silicone implant surgery or hyaluronic acid filler injections.

But he wasn’t familiar with the technical details of these procedures, and besides, this wasn’t within the scope of Chinese medicine.

’As for Chinese medicine methods...’

Li Xu’s mind raced, searching through ancient texts for folk remedies.

A moment later, he sighed helplessly.

In his memory, and within the orthodox theoretical framework of Chinese medicine, there wasn’t a single herb or formula that could truly cause an adult male’s organ to undergo a second stage of development and "get bigger" in physical size.

It was as difficult as trying to grow taller after one’s growth plates have closed.

All the advertisements and folk remedies on the market claiming to cause "secondary growth" or "get bigger with a wash" were just exaggerated promotions and scams preying on male anxiety.

Of course, Chinese medicine did have many classic herbs that could tonify the kidneys, strengthen yang, invigorate blood, and unblock the meridians.

For example, Epimedium, Cistanche, Cynomorium, Goji Berries, and Morinda root, among others.

But the mechanism of action for these herbs was to improve the blood microcirculation in the corpus cavernosum, increase nerve sensitivity, and enhance stamina, hardness, and endurance.

They improve "function" and "quality," not the "size" determined by genetics.

"Ahem..."

Li Xu cleared his throat and said to the camera:

"Please relay this to the netizen who is ’asking for a friend’."

"Within the scope of Chinese medicine, there are currently no herbs or safe, non-surgical methods that can cause a second stage of physical growth for an adult male."

"Those who claim you can get bigger by taking medicine are all liars. As a doctor, I advise that friend’s ’buddy’ not to worry too much about external things like size. As long as function is normal and the relationship is harmonious, size doesn’t determine everything. Blindly trying folk remedies could instead cause irreversible damage, and the loss would far outweigh any potential gain."

After hearing this, Daoist Sun and the hundreds of thousands of netizens in the live stream felt a little disappointed, but no one said anything.

They were all adults and understood deep down that trying to achieve a second stage of growth was incredibly difficult.

"So even Chinese medicine can’t save a little toothpick..."

"The Divine Physician has given his official seal of approval. All those companies selling enlargement creams can go out of business now."

"Hahahaha, hey ’Flying Man,’ your buddy’s heart must be broken."

Hearing this, Peng Yunfei let out a long sigh.

’Looks like this path is a dead end.’

...

After his consultation, Daoist Sun didn’t leave right away.

He found an out-of-the-way corner to sit down in and continued his live stream.

"Folks, Doctor Li has finished my examination. To be honest, this whole process of observation, listening, questioning, and palpation—hearing Doctor Li cite the classics—is truly a pleasure. I’m waiting in the clinic now, and I’m having the young nurse help me brew the medicine."

"I’m also going to give you an immersive experience to see if the medicine prescribed by the Divine Physician is really as miraculous as they say. This is a first-person, authentic review, absolutely no faking it."

The viewers in the live stream, who loved watching a good show, spammed the chat to show their support.

"The Daoist is so dedicated! We love to see this kind of hardcore real-world test."

"Waiting to see if the Daoist crashes and burns, or becomes a legend."

"Chinese medicine is okay for treating chronic illnesses, but I’m skeptical about this kind of immediate effect."

While waiting for the medicine to be decocted, the camera faithfully recorded the daily routine of the clinic.

The patients coming here included a middle-aged woman tormented by migraines that kept her from sleeping, a young girl pale-faced from menstrual cramps, and a middle-aged man with a worried expression.

Li Xu sat behind his consultation desk, maintaining a constant state of tranquility.

His pace of seeing patients wasn’t fast. Each time, he would ask questions patiently, take the pulse meticulously, and then explain the cause of the illness and the treatment plan to the patient.

Daoist Sun and the netizens in the live stream just watched quietly.

As evening approached, Song Sisi walked over carrying a bowl of soup.

"Your medicine is ready. Drink it while it’s hot and work up a sweat." ℯℯ𝑙.

"Thank you, beautiful."

Daoist Sun took the bowl of medicine.

It didn’t have the pungent bitterness he had imagined; instead, it carried the unique spicy fragrance of Cinnamon Bark.

Facing the camera, he tilted his head back and drank the medicinal liquid in one gulp.

"Hiss... It’s a little bitter, but acceptable. After drinking it, my stomach feels all warm and fuzzy."

Daoist Sun smacked his lips, describing the sensation. "Doctor Li said I need to sweat after drinking it, and I can already feel my back starting to get a little damp. Alright folks, that’s it for today’s stream. I’ve got to go back to my hotel and wrap myself up to sweat. We’ll see the results tomorrow morning."

After ending the live stream, Daoist Sun took a taxi back to his hotel.
