In fact, it was similar to treating marine debris. It sounded simple, just like fishing, but there were many difficulties. It was just like the Malaysian Airlines case that had caused a commotion a few years ago.
Many people felt that in today's highly developed science, it wouldn't take long for all the doubts to come to light. However, after a few months, or even as long as a year or two of investigations, there was no reliable explanation until it gradually faded out of the world's sight.
It wasn't that the technological level of each country wasn't good enough. It was just that the ocean was too vast, and there were some uncertain factors that increased the difficulty of the search. At this moment, I had to face a huge amount of work.
Fortunately, I had regained my Qi-Jin, which was helpful for the treatment. After a while, I used my dual energy. The stubborn cancer cells seemed to have sensed their natural enemy. They became restless. Although I had tried my best to gather them, there were still some that had slipped through the net. I didn't have time to worry about them and started my first attempt.
Chemotherapy was the most common treatment for cancer. However, besides the high medical fees, it was also a kind of torture to the patient. However, it could prolong his life.
My dual energy complemented each other. Through high-intensity friction, I could destroy the cancer cells, but it could also damage his flesh and blood. It could even endanger his life. No matter what, Wu Lei was just an ordinary person. Although his body was better than ordinary people, he couldn't endure the impact of the dual energy.
In other words, not only did I have to kill the cancer cells, but I also had to protect Wu Lei's liver. The risk of doing two things at the same time was big, and it was a test of my control over my strength.
"Uncle Wu, it might be a little painful. Try to endure it," I said.
"It's okay. When I was on duty in Mohe, there were some drug traffickers. They came at us with guns. I got shot in my thigh. At that time, the medical facilities were limited. Without anesthesia, I dug the bullet out." Wu Lei grinned at me.
I couldn't help but respect him. He had said it casually, but it was a painful and nostalgic memory.
Soon, I used acupuncture to seal some of his acupuncture points to ensure that the cancer cells wouldn't spread or overflow.
Following that, the two systems of energy swept through him. Wu Lei's face turned green, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.
This kind of pain was not inferior to the feeling of being shot in the past. In fact, it was even worse. After all, he was almost fifty years old, and his body was no longer the same as when he was young.
Moreover, the pain gradually increased. The muscles on Wu Lei's face twitched slightly, the veins on his forehead bulged, and a layer of sweat the size of beans overflowed. Wu Lei even suspected that he was harming him.
"Xiao Zhuang, there are anesthetics at home. Do you want a dose?"
Elder Guan couldn't help but suggest. Looking at Wu Lei's appearance, he really felt that he was better off dead than alive. I don't know where my confidence comes from, but I inexplicably spoke such big words.
From Elder Guan's point of view, I wasn't a reckless person. Why did I become so eager to show off after hearing about Wu Lei's identity? Although Wu Lei had said that he wouldn't take responsibility if there was a problem, his family wasn't easy to deal with. Once it was made public, the public's opinion would crush me.
"No need," I answered without lifting my head.
I didn't raise my head. Actually, I had considered the problem of anesthesia, but it would affect my judgment. It was easier to see the problem when the blood was flowing. Even if it was local anesthesia, it would still affect my treatment. I wouldn't consider anesthesia unless the pain was unbearable.
When Wu Lei was about to faint, I exhaled in relief and pulled out the needles. "It's done."
"Argh."
Wu Lei and Elder Guan were surprised at the same time. The former felt lucky that he didn't have to suffer anymore, while the latter was confused. As a leading figure in the medical world, he could see something. The needles I had used to block the local area could only ensure that the cancer cells in that area wouldn't spread further.
However, this method couldn't solve the root cause. The needles couldn't stay in Wu Lei's body forever. If we were careless, it would have the opposite effect.
From my appearance, it seemed it was effective. However, Elder Guan didn't know what I had done. There had to be a way to treat him, right?
"That's it?" Wu Lei couldn't help but stare at me in shock.
"Not yet. The cancer cells in your body have been destroyed by about sixty to seventy percent. There are still some scattered cells that aren't easy to deal with. We need to treat them a few more times." Although it was just a short time, I had used up thirty to forty percent of my energy.
If I tried to cure him in one go, I would be drained again. Moreover, I might not be able to succeed. I might as well do it a few more times. That way, it wouldn't be too shocking.
These days, powerful people always kept a low profile. As the saying goes, the bird that sticks out gets shot. If the treatment I had given to Wu Lei had an obvious effect, and the news spread out, it would seem that I had become the biggest beneficiary, but I would also be the victim.
At the moment, I really couldn't bear such a huge consumption of energy. It seemed that if I wanted to change my fate, I would have to pay a price. Just like Oldman Sun, who tried to pry into my fate and almost got punished by the heavens. I was a little worried that I might have violated some taboos by doing this.
If he hadn't met me, Wu Lei wouldn't have long to live. However, on second thought, he was a good man with a backbone, and his life wasn't meant to end. Since I had accepted the King Pharmacist's inheritance, I should try my best to save the wounded and dying. Of course, there were principles to saving people. According to the King Pharmacist's philosophy, if it was an unpardonable evil person, no matter how much he offered, he would refuse to help. Even if it was an incompetent ruler or a cunning official, there was no exception. On the contrary, those who cared about the world or innocent people would help even if they didn't get paid.
It was because of this kind of universal love and stubbornness that he became the Medical Sage of this generation.
"Aha."
Wu Lei was slightly stunned, but he was instantly overjoyed. Although the process was painful, it didn't last long. At first, he thought that it would be good enough to relieve the pain for a while. He didn't expect that it would eliminate 60% to 70% of the cancer cells.
The surprise came so suddenly that he started to doubt it.
"Miracle Doctor Xiao Zhuang, are you kidding me?" As soon as Wu Lei asked, he felt the place where the needle was inserted was cold and comfortable.
"Aiya, there's no need for that. You can go to the hospital tomorrow and check it out." I shrugged and said lightly.
