Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

Chapter 83 Stop arguing!

It's true what they say, there are no secrets when it comes to traditional Chinese medicine. Lin Mo felt that if Professor Mu hadn't seen Liu Ruyan bringing him back last night and misunderstood that he had a girlfriend, he would have been in real trouble.

What will he do when Professor Li tells him, "You should watch less of those unhealthy videos in the future"?

After all, he had always been seen as a good student in front of Professor Mu. If Professor Li were to say something like that, how could he possibly maintain his reputation?

That's why he didn't refute his girlfriend's statement.

Perhaps because of Professor Mu's influence, Professor Li Chengyang examined him quite thoroughly. It was simply a matter of regulating his body, which was quite easy for a TCM doctor of his level. Of course, this was also related to Lin Mo's youth.

Lin Mo then added Professor Li as a WeChat friend. The nickname, "The highest virtue is like water," was similar to Professor Mu's "May you live a peaceful life," and both were WeChat nicknames that could reveal someone's age at a glance.

"I'll write the prescription down by hand and send it to you via photo when I get back. Then you can go get the medicine and have them prepare it for you. Take it twice a day after meals."

Try this for a week first. Then, have your teacher come to your home, and I'll take your pulse and adjust your condition. It will take anywhere from half a month to a month for your health to improve significantly.

Of course, while taking this medication, you should avoid spicy food, alcohol, and staying up late. Also, don't meet with your girlfriend too frequently. Although you are young, you still need to have some self-control. These are all doctor's orders, and if you don't follow them, the medication's effectiveness will be reduced.

After taking Lin Mo's pulse, the two added each other on WeChat. Professor Li gave Lin Mo a series of instructions, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "These young people nowadays, although their conditions are much better than ours back then, their health is getting worse with each generation."

At such a young age, they are already weak in various ways. Back in their youth, weren't they all strong and healthy young men?
Lin Mo nodded, indicating that he had taken it to heart. Although it wasn't something from a shopping page, at least the person was a legitimate traditional Chinese medicine doctor, and the prescription was indeed suitable for his condition, so it was definitely worth a try.

"Thank you for your help, Professor Li!" Lin Mo said sincerely.

Upon hearing this, Professor Li waved his hand. He already had a good first impression of Lin Mo, who was young enough to find time to read medical books. After learning that Lin Mo was actually his wife's assistant, his impression of him improved even more. This was just a matter of convenience.

"By the way, I heard from your teacher that your massage skills are quite good. Why don't you let this old man try it? My back has been a bit sore lately," Professor Li said.

He felt that experiencing it firsthand was the best way to truly understand the feeling, since no one could describe it in words.

Faced with Professor Li's request, Lin Mo agreed without much thought, as he also wanted to test how much progress he had made compared to before.

He then had Professor Li lie face down on the bed while he washed his hands briefly.

With his hands on Professor Li's back, he could feel how thin the other man was. Then, as if by muscle memory, he pressed on Professor Li's back, finding each acupoint with extreme precision and applying just the right amount of pressure.

Most importantly, the massage techniques were superb, the movements were fluid, and it gave people a very professional feeling.

Lin Mo pressed the buttons while feeling the changes in the skill, while Professor Mu, not experiencing it himself, naturally didn't feel much difference.

Only Professor Li was somewhat taken aback. He was a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine, and although his main focus was not on massage and bone setting, he had still been exposed to it.

It was precisely because of his expertise that he was astonished; those in the know understand how deep the waters ran in this world.

To put it dramatically, this skill would take at least ten years to master, because it requires not only mastering massage techniques but also learning about acupoints and meridians.

Many massage therapists in hospitals may not have this level of skill, and he finds it hard to imagine how a young man in his early twenties, who is not even a medical professional, could do it.

Lin Mo even thoughtfully included a bit of bone-setting service; after Professor Li heard two cracking sounds, the massage session ended.

Getting out of bed, Professor Li stretched his limbs and moved them around, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"How about it? Isn't my student better at massaging than you?" Professor Mu, seeing his wife's expression, naturally knew his surprise.

She studied traditional Chinese medicine her whole life, but in terms of massage, she was not as good as a student who was not a medical major. Just thinking about it made her laugh.

"Xiao Lin, tell me the truth, have you really never studied systematically?" Professor Li asked. Lin Mo shook his head: "I only studied with my grandfather for a couple of days when I was a child, and later I would occasionally read books on my own. I usually just give massages to my roommates, so I don't know what level I am."

Upon hearing this, Professor Li couldn't help but recall the book on massage and bone setting that Lin Mo had been reading at noon. He had seen that book before, but it was far inferior to their systematic teaching.

Is this person a genius in traditional Chinese medicine? How could they learn to this level by simply reading books?
"I can tell you with certainty that your skills are quite professional. In fact, most massage and bone-setting doctors in the hospital are not as good as you. It's a pity you chose the wrong major. If you had studied traditional Chinese medicine, you could have established yourself in the hospital with just this skill," Professor Li exclaimed.

Lin Mo quickly waved his hand in response, thinking to himself, "Well, you're lucky you came. If you had come half a day earlier, you wouldn't be at this level."

"I'm just learning this for fun; I have no intention of studying medicine."

Upon hearing this, Professor Li, undeterred, thought for a moment and asked, "Have you read the Treatise on Febrile Diseases?"

"No," Lin Mo shook his head.

Professor Li then took out his phone, searched for a while, and handed the phone back to him.

"Take a look at it first."

Lin Mo took it and found that it was a small excerpt from the Treatise on Febrile Diseases that he had found online. Although he didn't understand it, he still followed the instructions.

After confirming that he had read it once, Professor Li quickly took the phone away: "How much did you remember?"

"Huh? Not much?"

"Recite it!"

Lin Mo did as instructed and immediately began to recite, feeling as if he had returned to high school to memorize Chinese texts.

After reviewing the text, Professor Li discovered that although Lin Mo had only read it once, he could remember 60-70% of the content, and his eyes lit up when he looked at him.

"Genius! This is a medical genius!" Professor Li exclaimed to his wife with delight, then turned to her and said, "Oh dear, why didn't you study traditional Chinese medicine? It's such a pity."

You're a senior now, right? Stop following your teacher and come to me. I'll personally guide you, you're just wasting your talent by staying with her."

But before he could finish speaking, the old lady next to him became unhappy.

"Hey, what are you doing? You think you're talented just because you can memorize a book? Besides, don't you have students? Xiaolin, my student, you know?"

"You don't know anything. Having a good memory doesn't mean you have a talent for learning traditional Chinese medicine, but it can make things much easier. There's so much to memorize, and with his massage skills, I could teach him much better than you could."

As for my students, let's not even talk about them. What do you think I came to the city for today? Wasn't it to clean up their messes? Professor Li said, puffing out his beard and glaring.

Professor Mu snorted coldly: "My student!"

"You're so pedantic! You're wasting his talent! You're ruining his future!"

Professor Mu: "Mine!"

Professor Li: "You're being unreasonable!"

Professor Mu: "No!"

Lin Mo:
Shut up, all of you shut up! Stop arguing!
