Chapter Fifteen: The Invasion of the Body by Pathogenic Yin

  Looking at the president of a well-known group, talking about his father's illness was helpless, and he was as depressed as an ordinary person with red eyes. After listening to this relatively detailed introduction and the detailed introduction on the inspection report, Han Ankang had some slight speculation in his heart. Of course, this speculation came from the medical tradition of Taoist medicine, and whether it was that kind of disease still needed to be decided after seeing the patient.

  To comfort Choi Ji-ho, who was at least good in filial piety, Han An-kang handed over the materials and said: "Director Choi, don't be too sad. Although I haven't seen your father's illness with my own eyes, based on what you've told me, I have a rough judgment in mind. As for whether my guess is correct or not, everything will become clear after I see your father."

  "If it's really the same illness I suspected, I believe I still have the ability to alleviate some of Grandfather's suffering. With a bit of time, it should be curable."

  As soon as this was said, Cui Zhihao's dejected expression suddenly changed to one of delighted surprise: "Master Han, are you sure?"

  Han Ankang smiled and said, "It can't be confirmed yet, I need to see your father before I can say for sure. However, if what you're saying is correct, I think the root of the illness is likely to come from that jade pendant. If it's really this jade pendant that brought on the illness, then curing your father will probably take a lot of time."

  "This time I came to South Korea with a tourist visa, if it's really the evil disease I suspected, and completely cure your father's illness, I'm afraid there won't be enough time."

  Thinking of this disease, it requires the coordination of one's own cultivation of yin and yang energy with acupuncture treatment. Han Ankang was clear that with his current cultivated yuanqi, treating this type of disease that must rely on yang energy to eliminate yin evil would take at least half a month or even longer.

  The key is also to see the extent of this old man's illness. However, if it's true what Cui Zhihao said, that the evil spirit has spread throughout his body, then time-wise, he'll likely exceed the stay period of his tourist visa.

  For this question, Cui Zhihao happily said: "Master Han is worried, as long as he can cure my father's illness, even giving you permanent residence rights is not a problem. However, forgive me for asking one more question, what exactly is this yin evil disease?"

  Han Ankang brought up the issue, to a large extent, because he felt that the other party had such a great influence, extending his visa for him should not be a problem. Plus, it was also his first time encountering a disease that required the use of Taoist medical skills to treat, so naturally, he did not want to miss the opportunity to practice.

  "So he quickly asked: 'I don't know about Cui Hui Zhang, how credible is this ghost's words?'"

  Chui Zhihao was surprised to hear that the illness also involved supernatural elements, and asked: "Master Han's meaning is that my father's illness has something to do with ghosts and spirits?"

  Everyone in the car who heard this was covered in cold sweat and thought: Is there really a ghost or god in this world?

  Korean Ahn Kang smiled and said, "Actually, when it comes to the existence of ghosts and gods, I prefer a Chinese idiom: 'Believe and you will have proof, disbelieve and you won't.' Just now, after listening to the chairman talk about your father's illness, I remembered a disease I read about in an ancient medical book that matches your father's symptoms very well.

  The reason I said that jade pendant is the source of the disease is to tell you, if my guess is correct. That piece of jade should be a burial object, stolen from the tomb and excavated before being purchased by the old man. If this kind of jade is placed at home, it will only make people feel a little physically uncomfortable, but playing with it for a long time without letting go.

  The yin evil energy absorbed by the jade pendant in the tomb will enter the person holding it as the temperature rises. Once this yin evil energy enters the human body, it will destroy the yuanqi system inside the body, leading to an imbalance of yuanqi. The initial symptoms are what Cui Hui said, feeling uncomfortable and itchy, and later on, the evil energy will penetrate the body and form acne.

  Finally, the external yang energy broke through, causing the yin evil energy to spread throughout the body. If the balance of the original energy in the body cannot be effectively restored, the patient will die under unbearable itching and pain. In ancient times, this was also considered a poisonous and sinister technique used by evil doctors.

  If this jade pendant was bought by your father unintentionally, then it's nothing. But if someone deliberately sold this kind of jade pendant to your father and knew the evil method that would harm people with yin energy, then Cui Hua will have to be careful in the future. After all, those who understand this poisonous medical technique are still unpredictable!

  After listening to Han An-kang's analysis, Choi Ji-ho's expression also became somewhat solemn. As for his father's fondness for antiques, especially playing with jade artifacts, it was not a rare thing among the big families in South Korea. If someone really framed his father, it would be difficult to find that person.

  No matter what, seeing Han Ankang explain his father's symptoms so clearly through what he said, Cui Zhihao felt that inviting Han Ankang to treat the illness was a good idea. Maybe they really found the right person!

  As the motorcade slowly entered Seoul National University Hospital, it was assumed that the chairman had come to visit his father again. The hospital's doctors were undoubtedly embarrassed to death. This SK Group chairman, who was willing to put his father in their hospital for treatment, must have believed in the expertise of their hospital.

  But the illness has been treated for over a month, and it's getting worse. The hospital's expert team was initially excited, but now they look embarrassed every time they see Cui Zhihao. After all, doctors who can't cure their patients' illnesses find it hard to earn respect from others.

  Just as the hospital director was going downstairs to personally receive Choi Ji-ho, he found that after the chairman got out of the car, he did not follow him as before, but stood respectfully in front of the car door waiting for a young boy to get off.

  The principal of the world was shocked to see that the young man had only come to say hello to Cui Zhihao, and then he found that the other party had already brought the young man who got off the car to the VIP ward of the hospital.

  The moment he walked into the ward, Han Ankang was certain of Choi Zhihao's father's illness. It was indeed a yin evil disease, just as he had expected. The foul odor produced by the yin evil energy that permeated his body mixed with the smell of disinfectant in the hospital, and even if one wasn't ill, staying there for too long would make them sick.

  When he saw the old man on the bed, who couldn't even open his eyes, and the white patient's uniform was stained with dark red, he didn't say a word and went forward. He handed over the travel bag to Jin Zhongguo and directly pulled over the emaciated arm of the old man who had been tortured.

  After a brief pulse diagnosis, Han Ankang rarely showed a hint of anger and said: "Nonsense! Is this treating people or killing them? The patient's vital energy is already out of balance to such an extent, and yet you're still giving him nutrient supplements. Are you trying to hasten his death?"

  "Hurry up and get this nutrient solution removed, and if possible, send him back home for treatment. This closed hospital is not conducive to his treatment and physical recovery."

  When Cui Zhihao was with the hospital director and the expert team present, Han Ankang bluntly threw out such remarks, instantly making Cui Zhihao's eyes gaze at the hospital's experts and leaders with some malice.

  Knowing that the dean had no small influence in Korea, he immediately retorted: "Who are you? What makes you make this diagnosis? Do you know that if we don't infuse nutrients, and something happens to Director Choi, can you take responsibility?"

  Facing the dean's inquiry, Han Ankang, who had regained his composure, said directly: "Then do you know what disease this old man has? Can you think of a treatment method?"

  "Also, haven't you noticed that every time you administer nutrient solution, the festering wounds on Old Choi's body produce more pus? The principle of 'insubstantiality not receiving supplementation' is something I believe all of you understand without needing me to explain?"

  Listening to Han Ankang's questioning and explaining the reason for removing the nutrient solution, the experts present were both angry and shocked. The anger was naturally directed at Han Ankang for saying they were incompetent, having checked for so long without finding the real cause. The shock came from the fact that Han Ankang's description of the symptoms after infusion was completely accurate.

  Seeing these doctors shut their mouths, one of the expert group's doctors suddenly said: "Then please tell me what disease does Cui suffer from and how should it be treated?"

  Han Ankang saw that these people were still not convinced, and directly said: "You won't understand even if I tell you, how to treat it is my business, why should I tell you?"

  The doctor, who was also in his sixties, maintained a sufficient thirst for knowledge as a medical professional and frankly said: "For our rudeness earlier, we can apologize to you, but please believe us, we gave nutrient solution to the head of the Cui family only because we thought his physical condition was too weak and he might not last long without it.

  "I didn't know that doing so would actually harm him, and for that, I apologize to Director Cui. As a doctor yourself, you should understand the feeling of being helpless in front of a patient. And I also know that some medical techniques are not meant to be shared with outsiders. But if you're going to take away Director Cui, at least tell us what disease he's suffering from?"

  After listening to the doctor's words, Han Ankang also knew that his candor made him feel more comfortable psychologically, and he said: "You should all know that the human body is divided into five elements of yin and yang. Cui Lao's disease, in Chinese medicine terminology, is caused by the invasion of yin evil leading to a loss of balance in the yuan qi."

  With current Western medical technology, it's probably powerless. So, Choi Hui-chang, if you believe in my medical skills, then arrange for someone to transfer Old Man Choi to a hospital now and find a place with good lighting.

  I'm giving Choi an injection now to help him recover some of his energy, so he won't have any problems on the way to the hospital. His condition is more serious than I thought, so the earlier we can successfully treat him, the better. What to do next, Director Choi can decide for himself.

  After saying this, Han Ankang stood calmly in front of the Western medical experts who were glaring at him. As for Cui Zhihao, who already knew about his father's illness and could only believe in Han Ankang, he quickly called the driver who had followed them to prepare for the transfer procedures and vehicle. As for the doctors' and experts' disapproving words, he simply ignored them!
