Chapter 559: Geniuses Are Indeed Rare

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“With my cultivation, a mere epidemic cannot harm me.” Gu Qingluan raised her eyebrows, showing a hint of dominance. Then she turned her gaze toward Qi TianYou and said, “Crown Prince, it’s you who should be careful. With your noble status, if anything were to happen to you, no one can bear the responsibility. You better not linger here.”

With that said, she and Du Youran entered the intensive care ward without giving the Crown Prince a chance to stop them.

Qi TianYou sighed helplessly and was about to follow.

“Wait, Your Highness.” One of his personal guards immediately extended an arm to block his way. “Guardian Princess is right. With your esteemed status, you must be cautious.”

Qi TianYou raised an eyebrow. “We’ve come this far; what is there to fear? Besides, with the Guardian Princess here, I’m sure my life will be well protected.”

It wasn’t blind trust in Gu Qingluan, but he had witnessed her abilities.

In fact, not only Tang Shijun but many doctors and assistants were infected by the epidemic at the Salvation Hall. Qi Tianyou had been in close proximity to Tang Shijun, yet he remained unaffected. He suspected that the medicine Tang Shijun gave him played a role.

The medicine was given to him by Gu Qingluan and was said to prevent illness.

Tang Shijun was already infected before obtaining the medicine, so it had no effect on her.

Ignoring the guard’s obstruction, Qi Tianyou strode into the intensive care ward.

Inside, Gu Qingluan and Du Youran were standing beside a makeshift bed.

Compared to outside, the situation inside was even worse.

These patients had more difficulty breathing.

Gu Qingluan was currently administering acupuncture to one of the patients.

Du Youran stood beside her, watching intently.

His deep, jet-black eyes sparkled with amazement.

Gu Qingluan’s movements were swift and elegant, unlike most people who administered acupuncture slowly and meticulously, carefully finding the acupoints.

Her speed was almost unimaginable.

If Du Youran were to lose focus for a moment, he might miss a step in her needlework.

Under Gu Qingluan’s treatment, the patients who nearly lost their lives due to acute symptoms began to stabilize. Their coughing subsided, and their complexion improved significantly.

Du Youran touched the patient’s pulse and exclaimed with delight, “The condition has improved, and the needle technique you used is even better than the one I was using!”

Gu Qingluan nodded. “Did you observe my technique clearly just now?”

Du Youran nodded emphatically.

“I saw it very clearly.”

“Good, now it’s your turn to try.”

There were many severely ill patients here, so there was no shortage of opportunities to practice.

Du Youran was not timid and walked confidently towards another bed.

The patient’s condition was similar to what Gu Qingluan had just treated.

Du Youran followed Gu Qingluan’s method and began to administer the needle.

At first, his movements were not as skillful, and there were some pauses. However, as he progressed, his speed increased, and by the time he was halfway through, it was almost comparable to Gu Qingluan’s movements.

Gu Qingluan showed a look of admiration.

She could tell that Du Youran had no cultivation, but he was extremely knowledgeable in medicine.

Without the enhancement of arcane power, being able to perform acupuncture to this level was undoubtedly the pinnacle of medical talent!

If he had cultivation, his medical skills would likely reach even greater heights, surpassing even her own.

After a moment, Du Youran withdrew the needle, and there were fine beads of sweat on his forehead.

Despite his steady hands earlier, he was extremely nervous. If he were to make a mistake in the needle placement, it wouldn’t have been a matter of saving the patient but potentially harming them.

He looked at Gu Qingluan with a pair of gentle, dark eyes, like a student seeking the teacher’s evaluation.

Gu Qingluan smiled and said, “You did very well.”

With Gu Qingluan’s affirmation, Du Youran’s face lit up with a pleased smile. His handsome face suddenly became dazzling.

Gu Qingluan thought to herself, If a powerful and influential young lady were to see him like this, she might want to snatch him up as her husband.

“What are your thoughts after administering the acupuncture yourself?”

Du Youran replied, “This method can stabilize the patients’ conditions and prevent deterioration, but it seems like something is missing. I feel that it’s not enough to completely cure their illnesses.”

Gu Qingluan nodded and replied, “You’re right. We will still need to research for an antidote. However, this method can at least save lives. If you think it’s feasible, you can now teach it to the other doctors.”

Du Youran found this arrangement quite satisfactory. At least he wouldn’t have to watch people die while feeling helpless.

The most terrifying aspect of an epidemic, aside from its contagiousness, was its death rate.

Now that there was a method to reduce the death rate, it was undoubtedly a significant improvement.

So, Gu Qingluan instructed the doctors from the Salvation Hall to gather in the intensive care unit and demonstrated the acupuncture method to them.

Then, she asked Du Youran to perform it as well.

“Has everyone understood it? If you have, you can disperse and give it a try.”

“Uh, can we see it again?”

“I think I understand, but I’m afraid 1 might make a mistake somewhere.”

Listening to the comments of several people, Gu Qingluan was speechless.

Geniuses are indeed rare.

This immediately differentiated everyone’s proficiency.

Du Youran, who could grasp it after just one demonstration, was truly a natural genius in this field..
