Divine fortune teller and traditional Chinese medicine doctor

Upon learning that Zhuang Tingting's father had ALS, Cui Zhenglin's eyelids twitched.

ALS is indeed a disease that is recognized worldwide as incurable.

He didn't know if Li Mu, this so-called divine doctor, could really cure it.

However, since he had already chosen to completely trust Li Mu, he couldn't show any lack of confidence at this point.

"ALS is indeed a very troublesome disease, but that master can cure it. Just tell me, do you agree to this deal or not?"

Cui Zhenglin looked at Zhuang Tingting and said.

"ALS can be cured? How is that possible? Mayor Cui, this kind of joke is not funny at all."

Zhuang Tingting simply couldn't believe it.

"We can try to cure it, and if it doesn't work, I'll just continue to give you what you want. You won't lose out, will you?"

"Well... okay! If that so-called miracle doctor you mentioned can really cure my father's illness, I'll agree to your conditions. But I need you to agree to one condition."

Zhuang Tingting took two puffs of her cigarette and then looked at Cui Zhenglin and said.

She felt that Cui Zhenglin was right, and giving it a try wasn't a bad idea. Even if she couldn't be cured, she wouldn't lose anything.

What if a miracle happens, and she really encounters some amazing master who cures her father?

She has tried every possible method to treat her father's illness, and now she is even considering trying anything as a last resort.

"What are the conditions?"

"You must ensure my safety! That Hou Dingguang is ruthless and vicious; I'm worried he'll retaliate against me."

Zhuang Tingting said.

"Don't worry, that's not a problem. You know, I'm the vice mayor in charge of the public security and judicial system. Protecting you is no problem at all. Besides, don't you have something on him? He wouldn't dare to do anything to you."

Cui Zhenglin readily agreed.

"Alright! Then I'll take that miraculous doctor you mentioned to my house to treat my father."

Zhuang Tingting is also a decisive person, and she stood up and said.

So, Cui Zhenglin took Zhuang Tingting into his car.

"Is he the miraculous healer you were talking about?"

After Zhuang Tingting got into the car, she saw Li Mu sitting in the passenger seat and asked Cui Zhenglin.

"Yes, he is Master Li," Cui Zhenglin said.

"He looks like just an ordinary old man, not some kind of miracle doctor or master."

Zhuang Tingting said in a questioning tone.

"What kind of person do you think a highly skilled and renowned healer should be?"

Li Mu asked calmly.

But he didn't turn around to look at the woman.

"Just like in movies and TV shows, with an otherworldly air, white hair and a silver beard, and all that," Zhuang Tingting said.

"Don't judge a book by its cover; this Master Li is incredibly capable!"

Li Mu did not respond further, Cui Zhenglin said as he drove.

He'll definitely be driving himself out today.

Before long, we arrived at Zhuang Tingting's home, which was in a rather old apartment building.

Upon entering the room, a pungent smell of various medicines filled the air.

"My dad has been bedridden for more than two years. Now he can't even speak. He can only blink his eyes and barely eat anything."

Zhuang Tingting led Li Mu and Cui Zhenglin into the bedroom, pointed to a emaciated man on the bed, and said.

Although there are bedridden patients in the family year-round, the house is still quite tidy, and it's clear that the patients are well taken care of.

This also confirms Li Mu's previous prediction that Zhuang Tingting was a filial daughter.

"Don't you have any other family members?"

While Li Mu was taking the patient's pulse, Cui Zhenglin asked Zhuang Tingting a question.

"No, my mother left when I was very young. My father and I have lived together for more than 20 years."

Zhuang Tingting said.

Seeing Zhuang Tingting's current living situation, Cui Zhenglin's dislike for her seemed to have lessened considerably.

This woman was also forced by life's circumstances; as the saying goes, even the most hateful person has a pitiable side.

While Li Mu was taking the patient's pulse, he was surprised to find that Zhuang Tingting's father's meridians and blood vessels seemed to contain a very strange spiritual energy!

The spiritual energy was very faint, a pale purple, and quite hidden, but it still couldn't escape his keen eye for observing energy.

Ok?

Could his illness be caused by this strange spiritual energy?

After investigating, Li Mu made this guess.

This strange spiritual energy permeated almost all of the patient's meridians, muscles, bones, and internal organs, causing complete blockage of his meridians.

When the meridians are blocked and the flow of qi and blood is obstructed, the muscles are most easily affected, leading to muscle atrophy and weakness. This symptom is indeed very similar to ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis).

However, based on his medical knowledge, Li Mu was certain that the person did not have ALS. The real cause of his near-total paralysis was this peculiar spiritual energy that ordinary people could not see.

Li Mu didn't recognize this kind of spiritual energy, but he could tell that it was quite domineering.

The physical strength of an ordinary person is insufficient to withstand such an invasion. It places a great burden on the body, like an invisible net tightly binding the body, causing the meridians and blood vessels to become increasingly blocked.

Li Mu's previous divination results did not reveal any information about Zhuang Tingting's father's illness.

So he tried circulating his Guiyuan spiritual energy to divine what the strange spiritual energy in the other person's body was.

Strangely, the divination failed.

This shows that Li Mu's current level of divination skills is not yet able to fathom the secrets of this mysterious spiritual energy.

Damn, divination can't predict anything. I don't know what kind of spiritual energy this is. Can I get rid of this mysterious spiritual energy?

If it's illness, evil spirits, or yin energy, Guiyuan spiritual energy can definitely dispel it.

But now, this is clearly an unknown spiritual energy!

Li Mu felt a pang of bitterness at that moment.

He used to boast that he could cure any disease, but the situation he's facing now is more complicated than he expected.

Although the previous divination did indeed reveal information about Zhuang Tingting's father's illness.

However, the divination chart cannot reveal very specific details.

Clearly, the patient lying in bed now is not simply suffering from an illness.

There is only one way to cure him: to remove the strange and mysterious spiritual energy that has invaded his body.

"Miss Zhuang, what did your father do before?"

Li Mu asked Zhuang Tingting.

Because he was unsure whether his own returning spiritual energy could suppress or eliminate this mysterious spiritual energy.

If the spiritual energy cannot be cleared, even medical methods such as acupuncture or acupressure cannot completely unblock the obstructed meridians.

Therefore, he needs to learn more about the patient's specific information first.

"My dad used to work in archaeology," Zhuang Tingting replied.

"archeology……"

Li Mu frowned slightly.

He thought that the strange spiritual energy on the patient must have been acquired by the patient while he was doing archaeology.

After all, archaeological work involves encountering ancient and mysterious things or entering places such as ancient tombs and ruins.

"Has your father ever worn or handled any jade ornaments, bracelets, or antique rings?"

Li Mu asked again.

"No. My dad has never liked those things. He doesn't wear anything except a watch."

Zhuang Tingting shook her head firmly in response.

"Master Li, have you figured anything out? Could it be that the patient's ALS is related to his work or the things he comes into contact with?"

Cui Zhenglin looked at Li Mu and asked.

"The patient's condition is much more complicated than I imagined!"

Li Mu frowned and sighed.

"I knew it! ALS is an incurable disease worldwide. Over the years, I've taken my father to see almost every expert in China and abroad, and even visited some folk healers, but none of them could cure him. I think we shouldn't waste any more time."

Hearing Li Mu's words, Zhuang Tingting gave a forced smile.

At the same time, the faint hope that had just arisen in her heart was instantly shattered.

When Cui Zhenglin realized that Li Mu seemed unable to handle the situation, his heart immediately jumped into his throat.
