"Doctor Qin, please do not disturb me while I am performing my diagnosis!"
"You..."
Qin Wanqing was furious as she held herself back.
"Let me look at your wound..."
Fang Yuan could not afford to expose his special skill and had to act as though he was examining the wound on the thigh of the young girl.
He could not avoid skin contact with the patient and therefore, Sun Xiaohong blushed in embarrassment. However, she quickly got used to it and composed herself.
"Doctor Fang, how's it?"
The parents of Sun Xiaohang were concerned and came over to Fang Yuan as soon as he had completed his diagnosis.
"Her situation is not that bad. If she is willing to cooperate for the treatment, she should have the hope of standing on her two feet again after half a year!"
"It's impossible! Don't believe him!"
Qin Wanqing looked at the parents as they almost knelt down in front of Fang Yuan. With that, she exploded. "Xiaohong can never walk on her feet again. Don't trust him!"
As soon as she finished her piece, she felt that she had said something wrong.
"Doctor Qin, thank you for your care for the past few weeks. However, please leave!"
Sun Xiaohong had a look of despair as her parents furiously retorted.
"All of you will regret it!"
Qin Wanqing gritted her teeth but did not feel any resentment towards the family. Instead, she felt like biting Fang Yuan's flesh and was already plotting to expose Fang Yuan's lie.
"Wait a minute!"
Fang Yuan shouted out. "Doctor Qin, since you are worried about Xiaohong, how about this... you shall be in charge of taking care of her daily. After all, I will only perform my acupuncture for a few minutes every time. You can also observe me! How's that?"
This female doctor had a good heart and was also rather skilled in Traditional Chinese Medicine. With a caring heart, Fang Yuan could make use of her to do the menial work.
"Only acupuncture? Alright..."
Qin Wanqing thought for a while before agreeing, for she felt that she had a duty to protect her patients. However, she could not control herself. "However, it is illogical for you to cure her paralysis by simply performing acupuncture, and this is according to Traditional Chinese Medicine... There have been no successful examples of it in history."
"The theory is about to be formed and you shall witness the example!"
Fang Yuan blinked his eyes. "After all, this is my graduation project!"
"I knew it..."
Qin Wanqing rolled her eyes and felt that the world was hopeless.
"Let the truth speak for itself!"
Fang Yuan forcefully calmed himself down, brought a spirit lamp and sanitized the silver needles.
"You have lost all feeling in your legs, right? If you do feel anything later on, remember to tell me!"
He gently reminded Sun Xiaohong before lightly piercing her acupuncture. Following the teachings of the Green Capsule Scripture Additional Recording, his inner energy flowed through the silver needle an entered Sun Xiaohong's body.
The human body was a world in itself and had its own circulatory system. This was the theory written in the Green Capsule Scripture Additional Recording.
Measuring the energy flow, Fang Yuan could feel that there was a blockage as soon as the inner energy flowed towards the wound on the thigh.
Encountering such a condition, anyone else would conclude that there was nothing that could be done to treat the legs.
'Hmm... even with my medical skills, if this patient was a normal person, I would need to spend at least a few years to stimulate the growth of the damaged nerves...'
This was after taking Fang Yuan's cultivation level into consideration.
'However, Sun Xiaohong is different. She is already slightly evolved and the source of her energy is comparable to a matured adult. As long as there is addition stimulation and guiding to guide her special ability to heal, she would be able to recover completely in half a year, providing yet another example to support my thesis...'
Fang Yuan's eyes twinkled with excitement.
'Of course, the subject of guiding one's special ability to stimulate spiritual droplets into another special ability is an interesting one too!'
Regardless of what Sun Xiaohong's initial special ability was, Fang Yuan was prepared to alter it completely and forcefully, turning it into a self-healing ability.
"How's it? What do you feel?"
After half an hour, Fang Yuan kept his needles and wiped off the sweat from his forehead.
"I... I felt a warm sensation in my body as though there was a flow of energy towards my thigh..."
Sun Xiaohong blushed in embarrassment and tears welled up in her eyes. "Just now... I felt an itch on my thigh!"
"Impossible!"
Qin Wanqing shook her head. "Xiaohong, you must be hallucinating. That must be it! This is impossible... It is just acupuncture. How can there be such a satisfactory result?"
Amidst Sun Xiaohong's parent's joy, she appeared dazed and desolated.
Fang Yuan gave a look of pity as he gazed at this female doctor.
How could she be so unwilling to accept the fact? What if she were to witness supernatural happenings in the future? Would she accuse the whole world of being wrong and become a frenzied person?
"Alright, Doctor Qin, I'll leave her in your capable hands!"
It was none of Fang Yuan's business as to how others viewed him. With a casual flick of his bag, Fang Yuan walked out with style. "From today onwards, I will perform my acupuncture on her weekly. Everything else remains the same for her."
"Alright, Doctor Fang!"
Qin Wanqing was stunned as she replied, giving a complicated look.
...
As the seasons went by, there was a commotion in Xijing University.
The graduating students were about to graduate, vacating their spots for the freshmen.
To every university student, the thesis was the hardest thing to do. They would most of the time prepare many months in advance, and after many comments and feedback from their teachers, they would correct it countless times. It was as though they would climb through hell and back.
Interestingly, although those teachers would give them heartless comments and strict feedbacks, they would ultimately become lenient when it came to grading the thesis, allowing most of the students to graduate with a degree.
Of course, Fang Yuan had this experience in his past life and was prepared to not follow this path again.
It was Sunday.
The sun was shining brightly and there was a cool breeze.
Lecturer Wu from the Faculty of Social Sciences carried a huge stack of documents and ran towards the classrooms. As he opened the door, a room full of professors gazed towards him, making him embarrassed.
He had entered the wrong classroom.
"Mr Wu, are you here to listen as well?"
Before he could turn around, a familiar face greeted him and even passionately offered a seat to him.
"Yes... Haha..."
Lecturer Wu laughed and awkwardly accepted the seat as he prepared to give an excuse to take his leave later on.
'This arrangement seems like... the questioning of a thesis, something's not right...'
Lecturer Wu was a little confused. "Which faculty is this student from?"
"Don't you know? He is from the gifted class, a kid under Old He!"
Lecturer Wu got a prompt reply from his friend.
"Oh, then he must be around 16 or 17? No wonder there are so many people listening to him!"
Lecturer Wu seemed to understand the commotion. However, he slowly noticed more and more lecturers entering the classroom before his eyes became widened. "That is... Professor Tian from the Faculty of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Professor He from the Faculty of Biology... Oh my, why are the professors from the Faculty of Astronomy here as well? And the assessors too. What kind of thesis is so complicated? Inter-faculty as well?"
"You'll know after reading it..."
With a complicated look, his friend passed him a printed copy of the thesis.
"Oh? A discussion about the relationship between Traditional Chinese Medicine and the human body and their association with the movement of the celestial bodies? What a broad topic indeed..."
Lecturer Wu had also done research in biology before. After flipping through a few pages and reading about a few examples, his expression changed. "This is interesting..."
"Alright, the thesis defence will commence now!"
Just as Lecturer Wu became absorbed into the thesis, a stern voice was heard.
Shocked, he raised his head and realised that even the vice-principal was here and was sitting in front. 'There seems to be a lot of professional people for this thesis defence. Will the young man be stressed out?'
"Good day, lecturers! I am Fang Yuan!"
With this, a young man walked up to the podium. He was tall and was smiling widely.
"Hmmm... The gifted are indeed more matured. If someone were to say that he was 20, I would still believe!"
As the teachers discussed among themselves, Fang Yuan ignored their small talks and spoke with a confident voice. "The topic of my thesis is... The Relationship between Traditional Chinese Medicine, Human Evolution and the Revolution of Celestial Objects!"
"As everyone knows, Traditional Chinese Medicine has its foundation on Yin, Yang and the Five Elements. The blood and veins are known as meridians, and the essence, energy and spirit make up the skeleton... However, the fact is that all of these are intertwined by energy! The human body is a world in itself and has its own natural circulatory system. Energy will flow within this system, and a small change within this circulation will be able to have a strong impact on the body. This is the basis for my theory of the Big Circulation!"
"There are many treasures within the human body, and the body is a world in itself. The Big Circulation allows energy to transcend the different parts of the body, activating the process of replacing old cells with new cells as well as the recovery process, if any... Please refer to the annexes for examples as to how treatment can be performed according to this theory, as well as my 13 Needles Technique..."
"The human body is a small world, and the universe is a large world. Both worlds can exchange energies, and this is the exchange between nature and the human body! The environment in the outside world will be affected by energy and will manifest in the small world of the human body. This is known as 'evolve'. I believe that we are in a prime time. As the energy in the universe becomes increasingly concentrated, humans will get closer and closer to a breakthrough!"
"Rubbish!"
At this point in time, a lecturer who was appointed an assessor could not hold it in any longer. "Rubbish! What the hell are you saying?"
"Please note that all I am stating are facts. As a scientist, I have predicted all of these with sufficient evidence..."
Fang Yuan remained composed. "You cannot deny its existence just because you have not seen it for yourself before!"
"Alright, so where's your evidence?"
"My evidence is in this stack of the date of our country's population as well as the fact that there is a new record being set in the Olympics..."
Fang Yuan held a timeline in his hands. "We can see for ourselves that before the world war, the record has never been broken. However, in a short span of the past 10 years, we have continuously broken the record numerous times. The quality of life has also gone up to be much higher than the accumulative quality of life for the past 100 years..."
"This is due to the improvements in technology and usage of them..."
"However, there are such examples in the ancient times as well. Please refer to the attached recording regarding the records of the Spiritual King Comet!"
Fang Yuan smiled. "In history, there were multiple encounters with the Spiritual King Comet. We have also observed its trend and predicted that it will visit our world every 100 years to bring change!"
"In this history recording, after the appearance of Spiritual King Comet, many humans have sighted ghosts and deities and therefore, we are able to deduce something from this... For instance, in recent years, there were revolutions in every country which commence the era of sea exploration..."
