Chapter 119
Traditional Chinese medicine represented both traditional medicines and skills, it's one of the Five Arts
of Chinese Metaphysics - Mountain, Medicine, Destiny, Physiognomy, and Divination, which involves
the martial arts, Qigong, observation of appearance, practice of divination and so on.
Since ancient times, those who knew of these skills were scarce. In addition, there were many
propaganda that over exaggerated the skills, and many imposters used the skills to deceive others.
Therefore, to many, these traditional skills had become superstition and tricks.
However, as the descendant of a Chinese medicine family, Caesar Du clearly knew the existence of the
Five Arts of Chinese Metaphysics. Amongst them, some of these skills were mythical and even difficult
to explain, although not as over-the-top as what was described in films and s.
For example, one of the medical skills he was good at was related to Qigong. Some traditional Chinese
medicine practitioners with excellent medical skills could generate vital energy within their bodies after
years of mastery and persistence. The use of vigor energy to support the Chinese medicine treatment
produced better results compared to normal treatment.
However, it was not easy to cultivate the vital energy in the body and to master the use of vigor energy
to cure diseases. Many veteran Chinese medicine doctors took a lifetime yet still failed to reach the
level of transferring vital energy through the needles. Amongst the doctors who were recognized as
National Medical Saint, not all had reached this realm.
Take Caesar Du's grandfather Jason Du as an example. He had been studying medicine for more than
6 0 years and practicing medicine for more than 5 0 years. He was diligent in cultivating his physique,
insisted on training, and supplemented with various herbs to achieve good health. But until now, in his
seventies, he had only merely reached the threshold of the vigor energy, but still could not use the
energy to cure diseases.

Yet now, Fade Chen, a young Chinese medicine doctor in his early twenties, was able to use his vigor
energy skillfully to treat diseases. It is clear why Caesar Du was shocked and amazed.
" Have you really reached the realm of the mobilizing Qi in acupuncture ?" Caesar Du was still in
disbelief.
Fade Chen did not explain, instead, he stretched out his right hand and gently placed it above the
wooden table without touching the surface of the table, leaving a gap of three or four centimeters.
"Ha!"
Suddenly, Fade Chen shouted, and the wooden table below his palm made a squeaky sound and
shook once. Then, Fade Chen withdrew his palm.
Caesar Du quickly walked over, stretched his neck and noticed an obvious handprint, with five fingers
clearly seen, on the smooth surface of the table. At this point, his final doubt about Fade Chen
disappeared. He looked at Fade Chen, stunned," Not only have you reached the level of transferring
vital energy through the needles, but you are also a master of martial arts."
As for Charles Wu, although he didn't know Chinese medicine nor understood what vital energy
acupuncture was, but as a successful businessman in Long City, he had many competent bodyguards.
However, none of these bodyguards, of whom were hired at a high price, were as good as Fade Chen.
In an instance, Charles Wu's perception towards Fade Chen shifted again. A young man in his early
twenties was not only a brilliant Chinese medicine practitioner but also a martial arts master. His
potential was limitless.
Fade Chen smiled at the both them, then turned his attention to Caesar Du and said impassively, "You
lost this challenge. Are you convinced?"
Caesar Du suddenly took a step forward, kneeled on one knee, gave Fade Chen a hold fist salute and
apologized, "Mr. Chen, I was ignorant and had offended you. Please forgive me. I shall fulfill any of
your conditions. You may tell me now."
Fade Chen was rather satisfied with Caesar Du's attitude. He nodded lightly and reached out to help
Caesar Du on his feet. "You're already considered quite good to have achieved such medical skills at
such a young age. But because you're born into a famous family, everything seems to go smoothly for
you since childhood. This has made you a little arrogant and even conceited. You have to change this!
You have to know that there's always someone better than you. Just because your grandfather is the
National Medical Saint, doesn't mean you are the same."
"Thank you for your lesson, Mr. Chen. I will change and improve my attitude!" Caesar Du said with
respect.
Fade Chen nodded and said, "Yes. No need to be so polite, you can just call me by my name."
This guy was really an amicable person. Since Fade Chen didn't blame him, he immediately came up
to Fade Chen and pestered him," Brother Fade, how about calling you Brother Fade in the future ?"
"I believe you're older than me!" Fade Chen was speechless.
However, Caesar Du was not at all concerned, he flipped the wide sleeves of his traditional Chinese
costume and then continued," Brother Fade, your medical skills are better than mine, and not to
mention you are a master in martial arts. Just these give me all the reasons to call you brother."
"Okay then, you can call however you like." Fade Chen replied.
"Okay, Brother Fade." Caesar Du said. "By the way, Brother Fade, how did you learn your medical
skills? Can you teach me a thing or two?
Fade Chen glared at Caesar and advised, "You have to master your foundation first. Don't try to run
when you have not learned how to walk."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Yes, Brother Fade!" Caesar Du answered in a serious manner with the hold fist salute. Then, he
seemed to have recalled something, he said with assurance, "Brother Fade, I lost to you just now. If
you have any requests, just tell me. I will try my best within my means to do it."
Initially, Fade Chen wanted to say that he didn't have any requests. After all, the purpose of this
competition was to treat Charles Wu's illness, and at the same time to teach Caesar Du a lesson. Now
that he had achieved his goals, there was no need for any request.
However, just as Fade Chen was about to decline, he suddenly thought of something. Next, he took a
piece of paper and wrote some names before handed it over to Caesar Du and explained. "Your family
owns a clinic in Long City. Since your network is wider, can you help me find these herbs and some
stuffs? After you have found them, I am willing to pay for them."
Caesar Du picked up the paper and saw that they were all names that he didn't recognize. He couldn't
help but be awestruck by Brother Fade's knowledge. He promised wholeheartedly, ‘ Brother Fade,
please don't talk money with me. This will be my gift to you when I find them."
Fade Chen did not linger on the money issue. After all, the herbs and stuffs written were basically rare
herbs for his own mastery and his wife's treatment for her cold nature. At present, these herbs were
rare and difficult to find, so he had asked Caesar Du to help keep an eye for him.
Right at that moment, Caesar Du's mobile phone vibrated. There was a message. He took it out and
instantly exclaimed "Oh, no!". Then he turned to Charles Wu and said, "I almost forgot about the thing I
came here for. It's getting late. Uncle Charles, please help me to give some opinions!"
Charles Wu said, "Caesar, I still have something to do at home. This.."
Caesar Du fidgeted," Uncle Charles, this is something good that grandfather had insisted that I must
get it! I came to Bay City in a hurry. Master Qiao and the others are not around to help me. At my level,
I can't differentiate its authenticity. Uncle Charles, you are an expert, you must help me!"
