Chapter 528 - 529: Regret Not Meeting Sooner
Song Xiaodong said, "This patient has been addicted to alcohol and sensual pleasures for many years, leading to yin deficiency and severe damage to his liver and lung meridians, causing his body to be extremely weak. Normally, prescribing him some nourishing medicines to enhance his physique is not wrong."
"Oh? What else?" Lin Yi’s brows slightly relaxed upon hearing what Song Xiaodong said, for it matched his own diagnosis.
"However, this patient has also consumed too much aphrodisiac medicine, which has already caused his yang energy to be overly vigorous. With yang being excessive and yin deficient, further nourishment would only intensify the yang, thus causing him more harm. Even if his body temporarily recovers, as time passes, his physical functions will be greatly weakened, and his life might even be in danger."
Lin Yi’s expression changed, and he took Mr. Zheng’s pulse again. As his expression grew more serious, it took him a while before he finally exhaled in relief and said, "I indeed overlooked this. Thankfully the discovery was timely. Now there’s still time to remedy this. Brother Song, how about we each prescribe a prescription and see if they match?"
"Sure, then please pardon my plain efforts, Mr. Lin," Song Xiaodong replied without demurral, accepting the paper and writing quickly without deep contemplation.
After a short while, both had finished writing and then showed their prescriptions to each other.
"Ingenious!"
"Impressive!"
The two men exclaimed at the same time, then looking at each other, their eyes revealed mutual admiration.
Lin Yi said, "Brother Song, your prescription is indeed marvelous, unassuming yet unexpectedly victorious. It is truly a stroke of genius."
