As they left the consultation room, Wei Lao directly led Liu Zixuan and the others to the intensive care unit.

"Doctor, you must save my mom," a little boy cried, clutching Wei Lao's hand.

Wei Lao gently patted the boy's shoulder, "Rest assured, treating the sick is our duty, and we will do our utmost!"

"Thank you, thank you!"

The little boy looked about seven or eight, with no adults around, which made it easy to understand his sense of helplessness since his mother fell ill.

After pushing open the ward door, inside lay a middle-aged woman wearing a patient's gown. Though it was long-sleeved, the red rash on her skin remained quite obvious.

Her complexion was incredibly poor, shifting from pale to a grayish hue similar to a dead person's!

"Doctor Liu, let's begin!" Wei Lao said quietly.

"Okay, watch closely, the herbal medicine's usage and dosage need strict control!" Liu Zixuan told the other doctors.

All the doctors nodded repeatedly and stepped aside.

It was impossible for them to fully trust Liu Zixuan, but they were deterred by the peculiar Profound Thunder Needle, unable to argue.

In truth, they didn't think highly of Liu Zixuan!

After all, he was too young!

Imagine, if a person without skill is handed a superior weapon to fight a seasoned warrior, who would lose?

Obviously, the person without skill would lose, in their eyes, Liu Zixuan was that guy holding a superior weapon!

Liu Zixuan had Wei Lao bring over some herbal medicine he'd prepared earlier, placing it in a porcelain basin.

Recollect, lightning causes greater melting damage to metals, so only porcelain items could be used now!

He took out the Profound Thunder Needle, using Inner Strength to activate the Silver Needle, making it float directly above the porcelain basin!

"Controlling Needle with Qi!" Wu Lao gasped, his eyes revealing a more intense covetous expression.

He knew that Liu Zixuan's medical skill was likely related to his Ancient Medical Skill, so he must obtain that skill and the Profound Thunder Needle!

By doing so, his position as the top National Doctor would be more secure!

Thunder erupted from the Profound Thunder Needle, striking directly at the herbs.

Soon the scent of the herbs filled every corner of the ward.

Liu Zixuan, seeing it was almost done, dripped blood and retracted the Profound Thunder Needle, then separated the herbal residue and juice into two containers.

He removed the woman's clothes and began applying the herbal residue onto her red-rash-covered skin, which indeed was somewhat off-putting.

Anyone with trypophobia might faint on the spot!

Liu Zixuan proceeded with the treatment steadily, occasionally mentioning precautions to the others!

"Do you think Doctor Liu can really do it?" Doctor Hu asked the nearby doctor.

Doctor Zhang shook his head, "Hard to say, the so-called Profound Thunder Needle is certainly peculiar, but we've practiced medicine for years and have never seen such strange prescriptions and treatment methods!"

"Exactly, let's see how it goes. If it cures her, we'll just admit we're inexperienced. If not, trouble awaits!"

"Trouble? What trouble?" Doctor Hu suddenly asked.

"Who knows if there are any side effects to his medicine? If the treatment goes wrong, resulting in a medical accident and the patient's death, wouldn't that spell trouble?"

Doctor Zhang shrugged.

"Indeed. Lucky we didn't hastily intervene!"

"Aren't you ashamed talking like this?" Wei Lao said coldly, looking at them, "Doctor Liu is risking much demonstrating and saving lives. Elevated actions mocked by you like that?"

"Wei Lao, it's not that we want this, but we simply can't trust Liu Zixuan. Consider an unknown doctor, so young, yet a National Doctor..."

"What's wrong with being a National Doctor?" Wu Lao interrupted Doctor Zhang, cursing, "Looking down on National Doctors?"

"Wu Lao, that's not what I meant."

Wu Lao waved his hand, "Alright, do you think I wouldn't know your petty thoughts? National Doctors may be waning, but that doesn't mean they can't cure! But anyway, Wei Lao, as I observed earlier, while Liu Zixuan has Ancient Medical Books and Ghost Gate Needle, his technique is still somewhat immature. I'm worried he won't succeed!"

"What's your insight, Wu Lao?" Wei Lao asked.

"Let him give me the Ancient Medical Books and Profound Thunder Needle, and I'll do it personally. Surely you'd be reassured then!" Wu Lao raised an eyebrow, smiling.

Wei Lao quickly grasped Wu Lao's intention, frowning, "Wu Lao, you're no longer young—do you not feel ashamed saying this?"

"You!"

"Beep beep beep beep!"

Just as they were about to start arguing, the monitor next to the patient suddenly alarmed.

The doctors and nurses present all changed their expressions rapidly!

Because it was the heart monitor, such sound meant cardiac arrest!

"Damn, I really predicted it, this is a medical accident!"

"I told you Liu Zixuan was no good!"

Doctors backed away slightly, afraid of getting involved in the trouble!

The ward's managing doctor glanced at it, turning to Wei Lao, "Wei Lao, the patient's condition is very bad. With the ventilator on and cardiac arrest occurring, it only indicates imminent danger!"

"Is the patient's family here?" Wei Lao asked.

"The husband should be back soon, he went out to buy food, the son stayed here. I'll go check, and notify the patient's condition." After the doctor finished, he ran out immediately.

Wei Lao walked to Liu Zixuan and asked, "Doctor Liu, how's it?"

"Give me a few more minutes!" Liu Zixuan maintained his steady demeanor.

"Okay!" Wei Lao didn't say much more; having chosen trust, one must trust to the end!

But not even a minute had passed when a burly man rushed in.

"How could my wife be dead? You all ruined her, I will sue you!" The man came in and directly grabbed Doctor Hu's collar, "Tell me, did you ruin my wife?"

Doctor Hu shivered in fright, pointing inside, "It was that doctor treating her, it has nothing to do with me!"

The man pushed Doctor Hu away strongly and strode toward Liu Zixuan, while Wei Lao and the others tried to block him but couldn't.

Raising his hand, he directly grabbed Liu Zixuan's arm, "You killed my wife, you must pay with your life!"

Liu Zixuan raised an eyebrow, a flash of displeasure in his eyes, "Get away from me!"

"Damn you, killed my wife and want me to leave? You're the one who should leave!" The man suddenly raised his fist to strike down...
