Chapter 536 Traitorous Disciple, Traitorous Disciple!

Senior Sister Shen Qingnan, with her icy poker face, was actually broken down by a single sentence about kidney deficiency, leaving Lin Mo somewhat at a loss.

Could it be that he was right? Or was he simply amazed by his own pulse-taking skills?
Just as Lin Mo thought he had stumbled upon a lucky break, Shen Qingnan couldn't help but say, "I thought you had made some progress in your studies with the teacher recently, but it turns out you haven't learned anything at all."

You don't even know such a simple pulse diagnosis for kidney deficiency, yet you're trying to imitate others in pulse diagnosis.

When there is kidney yin deficiency, the pulse is usually deep, thready and rapid. A deep pulse indicates that the disease is internal, a thready pulse indicates that yin and blood are deficient, and a rapid pulse indicates yin deficiency and internal heat.

The pulse of kidney yang deficiency is generally deep and weak. A deep pulse indicates internal weakness, and a weak pulse reflects the deficiency of yang qi and its inability to exert its influence.

Wait, you don't even know the difference between a deep pulse, a thready pulse, and a rapid pulse?

When Shen Qingnan heard his junior brother say that he had kidney deficiency, he was shocked. How could his junior brother know such a simple pulse diagnosis? Does his junior brother really have talent?
Moreover, to say that she has kidney deficiency is utterly ridiculous. First of all, she is a doctor, and a traditional Chinese medicine doctor at that. She knows her own physical condition better than anyone else.

She takes care of herself promptly whenever she has even the slightest health problem, so it's fair to say that she's healthier than most people.

Even the condition of sub-health is rarely seen in her, which is extremely rare in the prevalent sub-health phenomenon in contemporary society.

Besides, she doesn't have a boyfriend yet, and her daily routine is very regular, so how could she possibly have kidney deficiency?

To put it simply, even if her kidneys aren't as strong as her junior brother's, which is considered to be of pure Yang quality, they are still perfectly healthy.

She's in good health, has a great appetite, and even if she becomes an older mother in a few years, there won't be any danger during childbirth. Yet now, her pulse diagnosis has revealed that she has kidney deficiency. Isn't this just a sign that her junior apprentice is not skilled enough?
Upon hearing this, Lin Mo coughed awkwardly twice and explained, "Ahem, I've been quite busy lately and haven't been studying hard enough. I've been a bit lax."

Nonsense. After reading the three books, he had some basic knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine, but he had no practical experience. What use was that?

Professor Li recently started teaching him pharmacology and pulse diagnosis. As for pharmacology, although he can't yet apply what he's learned to other situations, he can still absorb the knowledge thanks to his super memory. Even if it's just rote memorization, he can still gain something. But pulse diagnosis is different. It's a purely technical skill that can't be learned just by having a good memory.

Besides, he has only been studying for a short time. Let alone taking a pulse, he hasn't even figured out what his senior sister meant by deep pulse, fine pulse, and rapid pulse. Simply put, he knows nothing about taking a pulse right now, and he was just pretending to do it just now.

"Hey senior sister, come on, have some red date, longan and goji berry water. It can help nourish your kidneys, treat illnesses if you're sick, and protect yourself if you're healthy!" Lin Mo personally brewed a cup of hot water for his senior sister and handed it to her.

Upon hearing this, Senior Sister Shen Qingnan glanced at him, sighed helplessly, and said, "Drinking water infused with red dates, longan, and goji berries won't nourish your kidneys. Don't think that having goji berries will nourish your kidneys. How did you learn traditional Chinese medicine?"

Don't ever tell anyone you studied Traditional Chinese Medicine with your teacher when you go out in the future, or I'll embarrass you.

This stuff only has the effects of replenishing blood and calming the nerves, nourishing the liver and improving eyesight, and tonifying the spleen and stomach. If you add a little mulberry to it, then it can be considered to have some kidney-tonifying effect.

Even so, she still took the water glass and took a sip. After all, this stuff was somewhat useful, and it just so happened that she was on her period right now. Otherwise, she would have been too angry to drink anything!

Seeing that his senior sister had drunk it, Lin Mo felt much more at ease. The mission was one-tenth complete. As for being scolded, it didn't matter. He was thick-skinned and it didn't bother him.

So what if I say it? Compared to completing the task, this little setback is nothing.

Just then, the office door opened, and Professor Li walked in. Seeing the scene, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "What are you talking about? I think I just heard something about replenishing blood and calming the mind. Xiao Lin, you're asking your senior sister for advice, huh? Not bad, that's a very good attitude towards learning. If you don't understand anything in the future, just ask. Your senior sister's level is more than enough to teach you. If your senior sister doesn't know either, just ask the teacher, and I'll teach you myself!" Unity among fellow students is very beneficial to the development of a sect, and as a teacher, he naturally hoped that all his students would be like this.

Hearing this, Shen Qingnan couldn't help but shake his head: "Old man, come here, quickly have your precious disciple who locks the back door take your pulse. Your teacher's skills are indeed extraordinary!"

"Oh? Xiaolin, have you finally figured it out? You've even started to get the hang of pulse diagnosis?" He said, extending his hand.

Seeing this, Lin Mo immediately took over on the spot. Why? He didn't know how to take a pulse, did he? Wouldn't that expose his ignorance?

"Um, teacher, you should have some water first. I won't try to teach you anything. I still have a lot to learn, hehe!" Lin Mo quickly made Professor Li a cup of red date, longan, and goji berry water and said with a smile.

Seeing this, Professor Li couldn't help but point to his disciple who was locking the back door and smiled helplessly: "You know, the field of traditional Chinese medicine is profound and extensive. You have to keep learning until you die and keep up with the times. Take it slow and don't rush."

He took a sip and continued, "Hmm, this stuff is good. Now that it's cold, try not to drink anything cold. Drinking more of this is good for your health."

As a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine, Professor Li naturally knew the effects of drinking water infused with red dates, longan, and goji berries. Although the effects were not significant and could not be immediately apparent, it still had some health benefits, at least better than the beverages or cold water that young people drink nowadays.

Traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, especially older ones, always carry a thermos filled with their own concoctions for boiling water to drink.

Although the effects are generally mild, drinking it regularly can still have some health benefits.

"I understand, teacher," Lin Mo nodded in agreement.

Professor Li nodded and continued, "Let's talk about your business. I didn't dare to ask too much at my old boss's house yesterday, but I didn't expect you to be such a hidden talent. You own a restaurant and earn several million a month. No wonder people say you don't go out to work."

My husband, your teacher was incredibly surprised when she found out yesterday.

"Huh? You found out too, teacher?" Shen Qingnan asked curiously from the side.

Hearing this, Professor Li rolled his eyes at his last disciple and said, "You still have something to say? Didn't you say last time that your junior brother's troubles had been resolved? So you two were keeping it from this old man!"

"No, no, it was me who told my senior sister and you, teacher, not to tell you. It wasn't a big problem, but I didn't expect a series of things to happen afterward."

"This matter is almost resolved. The punishment for my restaurant was rescinded last night. This Wednesday, I'll treat my teacher and senior sister to dinner so you can all try my cooking," Lin Mo said quickly.

He naturally couldn't let his senior sister take the blame for this, since his senior sister Shen Qingnan had told him to talk to Professor Li, but he just didn't listen.

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingnan couldn't help but say, "Really? I'd love to try what a meal costing hundreds of thousands tastes like."

As for the teacher, forget it. After eating those hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of food, you might get a suspended death sentence!

Lin Mo:
Professor Li: (艹皿艹)
"You traitor! You traitor!"
