Under Wang Yongjun and Yang Kaichen's guidance, I arrived at the special care ward where Lin Yuetong was staying.
This ward was located in the hospital's backyard. In front of the building, there were rockery, running water, and a lot of flowers and plants. As soon as I entered, I could smell the fresh air.
In the center of the city, to have such a beautiful ward, the hospital's expenses were certainly not low. Correspondingly, if you wanted to stay here, the cost would be frighteningly high.
I asked doubtfully, "Lin Yuetong's parents are both dead. How could she afford such an expensive ward?"
Before Wang Yongjun could speak, Yang Kaichen answered me first, "Isn't it because Chief Wang felt sorry for this young girl, so he specially let her stay in his own ward?"
After his explanation, I understood that this ward was more luxurious than I had imagined. It simply didn't accept ordinary people. The wards here were reserved in advance by some rich and powerful officials, and each ward was only responsible for one patient.
When these rich and powerful people needed to be hospitalized, they would stay in their own ward. After they were discharged, the hospital would always keep this ward. It was equivalent to these people buying a long-term ward in the hospital.
Not only that, but each ward also had a doctor in charge. This doctor's job was to provide medical advice to the rich and powerful people in their wards, such as diet and living habits.
If these rich and powerful people were hospitalized, these doctors would stay in the ward for twenty-four hours to ensure that their illness wouldn't be delayed.
Of course, in addition to the doctors, there would also be several assistant nurses in each ward.
Just like the doctors, these nurses were only responsible for one ward.
Yang Kaichen's words stunned me.
I knew that these rich and powerful people lived extravagantly, but I didn't expect that they could live extravagantly to such an extent. It was simply inconceivable.
I'm afraid that the price of such a ward was comparable to the price of a luxury house in the market center.
However, even with such a price, these rich and powerful people would still feel that it was worth it. After becoming rich, what people feared the most was death. No matter how much money they spent on their health, they wouldn't even blink.
Wang Yongjun was a kind-hearted person. He was unexpectedly willing to let Lin Yuetong use the ward that he used.
It must be known that Lin Yuetong was just a classmate of his girlfriend in Nanzhou. She wasn't related to him in any way. For Wang Yongjun to be able to help her to such an extent, I really had nothing to say.
In fact, it wasn't just Wang Yongjun. Almost all the rich and powerful people would do this kind of thing. Charity wasn't only to help others, but also to seek peace of mind.
As long as they were rich, most of them were willing to spend money to buy peace of mind. Those who were stingy were just an exception.
Of course, this only referred to private charitable acts. As for the benefits of the employees of these people's companies, it was a matter of opinion.
While chatting, we soon reached the entrance of the hospital building. The door was closed, and four security guards in riot suits were standing guard at the entrance. When they saw us, they didn't move an inch.
Wang Yongjun stopped in his tracks. He did not go in directly. Instead, he took out his phone and made a call.
Not long after, a middle-aged doctor in a white coat appeared at the door. He swiped a card and opened the door. He walked over quickly and greeted Wang Yongjun with a smile on his face. "Mr. Wang, how come you have time to come here today?"
Although he had a Chinese face, his Mandarin was a bit stiff. It sounded a bit like a foreigner speaking Mandarin. He was probably an overseas Chinese returnee or something.
Wang Yongjun chatted with him for a while. Then, we entered the building and headed to the patient room.
On the way, Wang Yongjun introduced us to each other. He said that the doctor was called Lin Bide. His name was neither Chinese nor Western. He graduated from a famous foreign medical school and was now his personal doctor.
When I was introduced, Wang Yongjun didn't want to say much. He just smiled and said, "I'm here to treat Lin Yuetong."
Who would have thought that Lin Bide wouldn't look happy when he heard that? He stopped and said to Wang Yongjun, "Mr. Wang, I've made the final diagnosis for that lady. She's in a brain-dead vegetative state. There's almost no way to cure her. She can only rely on some medical methods to maintain her life.
This isn't just my diagnosis. A few days ago, I sent the medical report to my tutor and classmates. The final diagnosis was the same as mine. "
I was surprised. Why did this guy have such a big reaction? Then, I thought that this guy had some status in the medical world. He thought that Wang Yongjun didn't trust him since he had made the diagnosis and brought someone else to see him.
I didn't say anything. Wang Yongjun smiled and tried to smooth things over. "That's the diagnosis of a Western doctor. Today, Brother Zhou is a Chinese doctor. If he tries different methods, perhaps there will be an effect."
This Western doctor seemed to have been influenced by Western ideas since he was a child, so he was very straightforward. He shook his head and said, "That's impossible. I've studied Chinese medicine a bit. For this lady's illness, Chinese medicine won't have any effect.
Moreover, experience is the most important thing in Chinese medicine. This gentleman is so young, so he definitely doesn't have enough experience. I've heard that there are often people in China who pretend to be Chinese doctors to cheat others. Mr. Wang, you shouldn't be fooled. "
Originally, I didn't care about it. Even if this person expressed hostility towards me, I would still smile. However, at this moment, I felt somewhat uncomfortable. Who would call someone a swindler in front of their face? This was too much.
Wang Yongjun looked embarrassed. But since both sides were familiar with each other, he continued to smooth things over. "Since you've concluded that there's no way to treat her, let Brother Zhou try. It won't affect anything."
Although Dr. Lin Bide didn't look happy, he didn't say anything else. He took us to the patient room.
After we entered the room, Lin Yuetong was lying on the big bed in the middle of the room. Her mouth and nose were connected to a ventilator. There were many other instruments next to the bed. All kinds of small tubes were connected to Lin Yuetong's body to monitor her physiological index.
I didn't mind them and just lifted my head to look at her forehead.
There was a small red dot there. Her forehead was where her soul palace was located. According to my calculations, that small red dot was left behind by a method similar to the Soul Splitting Needle.
Besides that, the small red dot was surrounded by extremely thick Yin energy. However, the strange thing was that the Yin energy didn't diffuse and just gathered on her forehead.
I glanced at her then turned to Wang Yongjun. "Ask everyone to go out and guard the door. Don't come in."
The well ghost was a ferocious creature. I didn't think they would be able to take care of other people. It was safer to ask them to go out.
Wang Yongjun and Yang Kaichen understood this. They nodded and prepared to go out. However, Dr. Lin Bide shook his head without hesitation. "Absolutely not!
This is my patient's room, and I'm responsible for my patients.
I can accept the joint consultation of other doctors, but I can't hand the patient over to someone else. Moreover, it's a young doctor like you.
I have to watch over you to prevent you from doing anything that could harm my patients. "
He wore a righteous face, which made me speechless.
Wang Yongjun didn't wait for me to get angry. "Dr. Lin, this is my decision. I have the final say on who should treat her. If you don't want this job, you can go to the hospital and hand in your resignation!"
Lin Bide didn't seem to believe Wang Yongjun's words. He kept silent for a while before continuing. "Mr. Wang, I'm a doctor who graduated from the best medical university in the world. I have more than twenty years of clinical experience. Why don't you believe me? Why do you trust a young doctor from China?
I know that Chinese people are superstitious, but this is a serious medical problem. It's related to a person's life and death. You can't do this. "
Wang Yongjun's face darkened. He didn't want to talk to him anymore. He picked up his phone and was about to call the hospital staff. At this moment, I stopped him and turned to Dr. Lin Bide with a smile. "Mr. Lin Bide, I agree that you're responsible for your patients, but you're wrong about one thing. Chinese medicine isn't superstition. It's also a serious science.
I'm asking you to leave because my way of practicing medicine is a little special.
How about we make a bet? You said that this lady is brain-dead and that there's no way to cure her, right?
What if I cure this lady today? "
Although metaphysics wasn't Chinese medicine, it had many things in common with Chinese medicine. I didn't think that Chinese medicine was better than Western medicine, but I didn't feel comfortable watching a fake foreigner slander Chinese medicine. That was why I decided to tease him.
Sure enough, this Lin Bide was straightforward. He scoffed at my words and immediately replied, "That's absolutely impossible. If you can really cure her, then I'll give up on studying western medicine for thirty years and study Chinese medicine!"
"Dr. Lin, are you serious?"
Dr. Lin Bide stiffened his neck. "As you Chinese people say, I'm a gentleman, and I never go back on my word!
What if you can't cure her? "
I smiled. "If you can't cure her, Chief Wang and I will apologize to you. Chief Wang will also compensate you for the psychological damage. What do you think?"
Of course, Wang Yongjun trusted me unconditionally. He also knew that I was teasing Dr. Lin. As soon as I finished my sentence, he said, "You can name the amount. As long as I can afford it, I won't go back on my word. What do you think?"
Dr. Lin Bide was surprised by Wang Yongjun's confidence. He glanced at Wang Yongjun and nodded firmly.
Then, I high-fived him to make an oath. Dr. Lin Bide, who liked to fight, walked out of the room and waited for me to laugh at him.
It was strange that he didn't care if he was responsible for the patient's safety or not.
After this short interlude ended, all of them left the room. I put away my smile and walked to Lin Yuetong's bed. I took out a talisman and placed it on her forehead.
Although I could practice hand seals after reaching the Pressure Acupoint Realm, I was in a hurry and didn't have the time to practice them. I still had to use talismans.
This talisman was called the Lost Soul Talisman. It was just an ordinary yellow talisman. Moreover, it had the meaning of an evil technique. If it was used on a person, it would make the person lose their soul and turn them into a fool.
However, the Jing Ghost was currently entrenched in Lin Yuetong's soul palace. This Lost Soul Talisman could force the ghost out.
After I guided the energy, the Lost Soul Talisman turned into ashes. At the same time, a red light appeared on Lin Yuetong's forehead.
The red light enlarged, and a ghost that looked like a blood-red woman appeared in front of me.
The Jing Ghost's clothes were ragged, and most of her body was naked. Her skin emitted a red light, and her two eye sockets looked like they were wrapped in blood. She stared at me.
When I saw her, I frowned. It wasn't because of her attire or her eyes. It was because I could vaguely sense an aura similar to Tong Tong's from the well ghost.
Tong Tong was a heavenly embryo, and he was born with three souls. Moreover, the Jing Ghost didn't seem to be afraid of sunlight. Her soul was abnormally full.
Rumor had it that when the Jing Ghost died, his soul couldn't vanish because of the special structure of the well. However, it didn't mean that the Jing Ghost had three souls.
Among the three souls, the heavenly soul was the life soul. When a person died, the heavenly soul would vanish. Only people who died the moment the heavenly soul was born, like Tong Tong, could have a chance to form a heavenly embryo.
The Jing Ghost wasn't an exception. When he died, his heavenly soul would also vanish. However, because of the special structure of the well, a wisp of his heavenly soul remained.
I guessed it was because of this that the Jing Ghost had an aura similar to Tong Tong's.
However, that wasn't the most important thing. The most important thing was that I couldn't see through the Jing Ghost's cultivation.
With my current acupoint sealing realm, I was at least at the level of a Ghost Marshal. The Jing Ghost's cultivation was definitely higher than mine, and I felt that it was much higher.
I immediately called Tong Tong out and asked her how high the Jing Ghost's cultivation was. Tong Tong took a glance and then told me that the Jing Ghost was at the Ghost King level.
The Ghost King level was equivalent to a Fengshui master's cultivation, which was the Glory of Knowledge realm!
My heart immediately sank. Before reaching the acupoint sealing realm, in my eyes, the difference between acupoint sealing and Glory of Knowledge was only one level. However, after reaching the acupoint sealing realm, I finally understood how much energy the ten acupoints of the Heaven Meridian could store. Now, I only had one acupoint cultivation, and the Glory of Knowledge realm was far more powerful than the ten acupoints of the complete acupoints!
