In the operating room, everyone's eyes were fixed on Shen Qiang.
Not a single person spoke, and even their breathing became cautious and restrained.
"A miracle!" The director of the observation room, standing in the closest position, his eyes were bright. He was the dean of Bikang General Hospital, and while he was the owner of this private hospital, he was also a doctor.
Thus, he had spent his life watching surgeries.
However, he had never seen anyone perform surgery to such an extreme level as Shen Qiang.
Wu Guoxi, standing beside the operating table, also didn't dare to breathe too heavily. After Shen Qiang's last surgery, he had said he could do even better, something Wu Guoxi didn't take to heart at the time.
Because, in his view, Shen Qiang had already performed the surgery to a first-class standard.
One level higher, and he would undoubtedly be on par with the top experts in the country.
How could Shen Qiang, with his age and educational background, possibly achieve this?
But now, watching Shen Qiang's suturing like that of a sewing machine.
Wu Guoxi was convinced that Shen Qiang's standard in tumor surgery, even on a national scale, was absolutely top-notch!.
"A perfect liver-enteric anastomosis! A perfect duodenal jejunostomy! Only the pancreatic-enteric anastomosis is left... Huh..." Suddenly, Wu Guoxi looked up in surprise when he saw Shen Qiang's hand pause.
He immediately saw that not only was Shen Qiang's complexion ashen, but his forehead was also covered with fine beads of sweat.
"Wipe his sweat," Wu Guoxi ordered, then asked anxiously, "Shen Qiang, are you alright?"
Shen Qiang smiled and took a deep breath, "I'm fine."
Once the nurse removed her hand from his forehead after wiping his sweat, Shen Qiang put his full strength into the surgery.
To the onlookers, Shen Qiang's hands were still both quick and steady.
But at this moment, Shen Qiang not only felt extremely fatigued due to the overexertion of True Qi but also felt his power gradually slipping away, his arms occasionally trembling slightly.
His speed had noticeably slowed down.
"As expected, the time spent in Immortal Cultivation has been too short, the amount of True Qi is completely inadequate. It looks like I'll need to intensify my cultivation in the future, but for now, I can only muster all I have! Hang in there, just hold on!"
Swish! Swish! Swish!
As the last suture was tied off.
Shen Qiang, pale-faced and forehead dripping with sweat, stopped.
He looked at Wu Guoxi and smiled.
Almost simultaneously.
The people in the observation room already started cheering loudly.
"A miracle!"
"I never thought someone could actually do it, to complete five anastomoses within five minutes!"
"To be precise, it was two minutes and forty-nine seconds!" said an intern, who appeared to have obsessive-compulsive disorder, as he gazed at Shen Qiang with full admiration, holding his notebook.
At this moment, standing in the front row behind the glass wall, looking at Shen Qiang who was smiling, the dean had the look of a pirate who had discovered treasure.
"Genius!"
In an instant, he envisioned a scene where the tumor surgery department surpassed all the hospitals in the Provincial City.
"Find every possible way to have Shen Qiang renew his contract with the hospital," he ordered his daughter with an excited look in his eyes.
The beautiful female assistant to the dean simply stared blankly at Shen Qiang, who was smiling very sunnily, and actually forgot to reply.
"Next, it's all up to you," said a very happy Shen Qiang to Wu Guoxi.
Wu Guoxi, eyes brimming with excitement, replied repeatedly, "Take a rest if you're tired, don't worry. The core part of the surgery has been completed, and I can handle the rest without a problem."
Having said that, Wu Guoxi immediately began to suture the postoperative wounds.
Meanwhile, Shen Qiang, feeling as if all the strength in his body had disappeared,
suddenly felt his mind buzz.
Then, in his Sea of Consciousness, he saw Qingxuan, tall and graceful, stunningly beautiful.
At this moment, however, Qingxuan was not kneeling before Shen Qiang as she had in the past; she was sitting cross-legged with streams of True Qi slowly flowing through her jade-like hands.
"Master, your True Qi is exhausted. Your servant is cultivating on your behalf to restore it as quickly as possible. I am unable to pay my respects, please forgive me," Qingxuan said.
Startled by her words, Shen Qiang asked, "You can cultivate True Qi on my behalf?"
Qingxuan, also surprised, then said sweetly, "Qingxuan dwells within the Master's Sea of Consciousness, so I can cultivate True Qi on your behalf. Since Qingxuan has undergone Soldier Disintegration, I need to cultivate for four hours each day to ensure my soul does not disperse."
Delighted by her answer, Shen Qiang exclaimed, "That means you can help me with Energy Cultivation for eight hours each day?"
Qingxuan replied, "Yes, your servant can assist you in cultivating for eight hours each day, but if the master does not practice on his own, it will not be beneficial for his future progress in Cultivation."
Shen Qiang's eyes lit up, "It doesn't matter, you help me cultivate for eight hours a day, and I'll handle the rest."
Qingxuan immediately responded by bowing her head, "Your servant obeys."
With Qingxuan's help for eight hours a day, which is sixteen hours, and the remaining eight hours spent cultivating by himself, Shen Qiang was virtually practicing Cultivation around the clock, which would undoubtedly lead to rapid progress.
Overjoyed, Shen Qiang immediately said, "From now on, in front of me, you can just call yourself Qingxuan. From today on, that's settled."
Hearing this, Qingxuan immediately expressed her gratitude reverently, "Thank you for granting me a name, Master. Qingxuan shall repay this kindness like a spring which never runs dry!"
Shen Qiang nodded in satisfaction.
By now, the surgery had concluded.
An ecstatic Wu Guoxi hugged Shen Qiang and laughed out loud, "Shen Qiang, you are the best surgeon I have ever seen in my life. Being able to mentor a student like you before I retire is something I can boast about for a long time."
Shen Qiang smiled, "You flatter me."
Doctor Li, her eyes full of excitement, said, "Director Wu is absolutely right. You may not be famous yet and not many people know about you, but with your surgical skills, it won't be long before you become a renowned doctor. By then, the surgeries I've assisted you with will be my pride."
Shen Qiang smiled and graciously accepted the congratulations and cheers from the other medical staff in the operating room.
At this moment, the count of surgical instruments was complete, and an orderly pushed the patient, whose operation had ended, out of the room.
As the door opened, a group of about a dozen doctors flooded in.
"Shen Qiang, you've created a miracle!"
"My goodness, how did you do it?"
"It's unbelievable, you're so young. Now it's really hard for me to imagine what your future will be like!"
Faced with the throng of doctors pressing around him, each saying their own piece, Shen Qiang could only smile politely.
"You're too kind," he said.
Just then, the chattering crowd of doctors suddenly fell silent, with a strange look in their eyes as they stared behind Shen Qiang.
Shen Qiang turned around, and immediately saw Zhang Yujian looking somewhat dazed. Zhang Yujian watched Shen Qiang nervously and, after a moment's hesitation, spoke earnestly.
"Shen Qiang, could I study surgical techniques with you?"
