to be the old Taoist's voice and did not stop but said, "It's me! Xiao Yu!""Erm... How did you get out It’s very dangerous outside now!" Hearing Xiao Yu's voice, the old Taoist couldn't help sounding...Chapter 435: Exchange Meeting - Dr. Dai Seeks Medical Advice (3)

Xiao Yu arrived on the stage. As he turned around, his bitter smile disappeared, and he calmly walked up to the stage, saying, "Hello everyone, all of you masters are seniors of Xiao Yu, so I wouldn't dare to show off in front of such experts. However, since I'm here, I should say something. My medical skills are like military techniques; there’s no fancy stuff. So feel free to ask questions, and I’ll answer what I know. If you just want me to talk without asking anything, that would be quite a challenge for me!"

"Haha..." After hearing Xiao Yu's words, the doctors below chuckled. Although his statements sounded arrogant at first, combined with his expression and confidence, it gave people a convincing impression.

“Doctor Xiao, I’d like to ask what illness that child had yesterday” Right after Xiao Yu finished speaking, a man in his fifties from the Western Medicine side stood up and asked him.

"Haha, before answering this question, may I ask you all, based on your examination results, what kind of disease did you diagnose for this child" Upon hearing the question, Xiao Yu smiled and counter-questioned.

“To be honest, we have thoroughly examined him but haven’t found any symptoms indicating an illness!” After Xiao Yu’s words, an elderly man named Chen, who was nearby, took over and said.

Hearing what the elder said, the doctors nodded in agreement.

“Haha, actually you’re all right; that child wasn’t sick at all!” Seeing their reactions below, Xiao Yu smiled and agreed.

"Um... How is it possible If he wasn't ill, why couldn't that child walk" Hearing Xiao Yu’s statement, the doctors were stunned for a moment before someone questioned back.

“Haha, to be honest, this child's inability to walk stems from his parents overindulging him. They didn’t let him walk from an early age. When he should have been learning how to walk, they prevented it. Later on, when the child was a bit older and ready to learn, he had already learned to fear falling. Therefore, he wouldn't attempt walking.”

Xiao Yu slowly explained this to the doctors. After a brief pause, allowing them to digest his words, he continued: "This is similar to learning how to ride bicycles when we were young; those who learn in their teens generally master it quickly, whereas if one fails to learn during that age, even in their twenties or thirties they may struggle to pick up the skill, sometimes never mastering it at all. It’s a similar principle!"

The sentences were just what Xiao Yu had come up with on the spot because he didn’t know how to explain to these doctors why the child couldn't walk.

After hearing Xiao Yu’s explanation, all of the doctors below and those sitting at the stage glanced at one another. They felt that it was hard to believe what Xiao Yu had just said, yet they also found themselves unable to refute his claims, as there was some logic behind them.

Moreover, among their number were people who could not ride bicycles, which is why they all agreed with Xiao Yu’s explanation. They were the ones who hadn’t learned how to ride a bicycle when they were young and then got too afraid to try once they grew up.

The doctors below discussed this point for a while. Some of them shook their heads in disagreement, while others nodded their heads in agreement. Even Professor Chen and his group gave mixed responses; some nodded in agreement, while others shook their heads in disbelief. Those who shook their heads thought it was unbelievable, but those who nodded were convinced that there was no other explanation for the child's inability to walk despite being otherwise healthy.

Finally, all of them let out a bitter smile. As Xiao Yu had said, once you explained it, it lost its value.

Now that they knew the reason behind it, there was no need to ask about treatment methods. If it were indeed this cause, then they would have their own ways of making the child walk again.

"Doctor Xiao, may I ask if you’ve mastered the Xia Clan’s Life-Saving Five Element Acupuncture" At that moment, an elderly man in his seventies from among the crowd of traditional Chinese medical practitioners asked this question to Xiao Yu.

The Xia Clan's Life-Saving Five-Element Acupuncture was known by almost every family of traditional Chinese medicine that had been passed down from ancient times. Moreover, they all knew about the Xia Clan’s extinction in the past. So their concern now was whether or not this Life-Saving Five Element Acupuncture technique had survived.

In modern society, traditional Chinese medicine had declined, so there was no longer any competition between these families of traditional Chinese medicine as there once was back in ancient times. What they wanted to do now was work together to develop traditional Chinese medicine and prevent it from becoming extinct; otherwise, within a few decades, traditional Chinese medicine could be wiped out domestically.

At that point, those who had only learned the basics of traditional Chinese medicine but claimed to be ‘Korean doctors’ or ‘Japanese doctors’ would brazenly claim these techniques as their own creation.

Hence, after this elderly doctor asked Xiao Yu his question, all the other elderly doctors also directed their attention towards him.

Xiao Yu saw that these veteran TCM doctors were looking at him, and in their eyes, he could only see hope and no signs of jealousy. He couldn’t help but feel relieved, so Xiao Yu didn't say anything; instead, he nodded his head vigorously at them.

“Clap clap clap...” When these veteran TCM doctors saw Xiao Yu nodding his head, they all stood up involuntarily and applauded for him. They were grateful that TCM had managed to preserve a miraculous technique intact.

Xiao Yu bowed deeply to the veterans; regardless of the reasons behind it, their broad-mindedness was something he should emulate.

Standing on the stage, Xiao Yu saw no one raising any questions after him. He nodded his head gently at all the doctors present and walked down from the stage back to his seat.

After Xiao Yu returned to his seat, none of these veteran TCM doctors mocked or ridiculed him anymore. Although what he had said about the cause of the Li family child's ailment was worth nothing, they did not even think it would be worthwhile, which showed how far apart they were.

After Xiao Yu left, Western Medicine continued to send people up to speak on their behalf, while Xiao Yu took notes seriously. He also contemplated how he could treat the patient using TCM methods and compared his approach with the one presented by the speaker on stage to figure out which method was better.

The Old Man Dai and other veteran TCM doctors beside Xiao Yu saw that he wasn’t arrogant after what had happened earlier but was taking notes seriously. They nodded in approval, thinking that it explained why this young man was so skilled at medicine—he truly deserved his reputation based on how he treated the medical field.

The morning flew by quickly; when the last person finished speaking, Xiao Yu stretched and stood up.

After the morning session ended, Old Man Dai asked for Xiao Yu's room number and told him that he would bring his granddaughter over shortly.

Xiao Yu nodded without hesitation. He was also very curious about what caused the illness of Old Man Dai’s granddaughter; therefore, he eagerly awaited her arrival.

After finishing speaking, Old Man Dai left first to find his granddaughter.

After hearing their conversation, some of the elderly traditional Chinese medicine practitioners around Xiao Yu all turned to look at him, with expectant expressions in their eyes. However, because there were doctors who did not want to be disturbed while treating patients and others who used secret skills that they did not wish for anyone to watch, no one had the courage to request to observe Xiao Yu’s treatment of Grandma Dai’s granddaughter.

If it weren’t for what happened with the Li family boy, if someone were to suggest asking Xiao Yu to diagnose and treat Grandma Dai’s granddaughter, all they would do is mock him as being overconfident. Some had already studied Grandma Dai's granddaughter's illness for ten years but still hadn't made any progress. For a young man like Xiao Yu to try diagnosing her, wouldn’t that be laughable

But now things were different. Though the cause of the Li family boy’s illness was trivial when mentioned, they themselves had not been able to find it, highlighting the gap between them and Xiao Yu.

That was precisely why everyone was curious about how Xiao Yu would treat Grandma Dai's granddaughter. Who knew if he might have some unique methods Therefore, all of them wanted to observe him up close.

Xiao Yu saw the hope in these elderly practitioners' eyes and said with a light laugh, "Esteemed seniors, when I examine Grandma Dai’s granddaughter later on, please kindly correct me. After all, you have already seen her illness, so if I miss anything during my examination, please kindly remind me!"

"Sure, sure! We also thank Master Xiao for giving us this opportunity to observe!" Hearing what Xiao Yu said, these elderly practitioners blushed slightly but quickly regained their composure and replied.

After Xiao Yu cured the Li family boy, he had earned the title of 'Master', which he deserved. Although his medical skills were already at a level worthy of that title for quite some time, without recognition from these doctors, even if he claimed it himself, no one would believe him other than to laugh.

But now things were different. Now, Xiao Yu’s title of 'Master' could be said to have been acknowledged by all the medical practitioners who came to attend this exchange meeting. After all, those attending the exchange conference—whether traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine experts—were renowned authorities across the country; thus obtaining their recognition meant that Xiao Yu's title was well-deserved.

Xiao Yu and these elderly practitioners arrived at his room, waiting for Grandma Dai and her granddaughter to come.

In no time, Grandma Dai brought her granddaughter to Xiao Yu’s room. When she saw Xiao Yu upon entering the room, the girl was momentarily stunned in recognition of him. Smiling gently at the little girl, Xiao Yu invited them into the room.

"All old brothers are here!" As soon as they entered the house, Grandma Dai noticed that many elderly doctors were sitting in Xiao Yu’s living room. The elderly practitioners she recognized; over the years, she had visited these doctors on numerous occasions concerning her granddaughter's illness. Seeing them all present, she hurriedly greeted them.
