Chapter 15 Are you willing?

"If I'm not mistaken, Miss Song's leg pain has persisted for a full seven years now, especially in the days leading up to her unconsciousness, when her legs were even more unbearably painful."

Qin Chuan did not answer Song Qingshan, but continued speaking, then glanced at Song Jie and asked, "In the past year, have you often had sore legs that make it hard to fall asleep at night?"

As he described Song Yan's condition, the Song Family members were astonished, and when he mentioned Song Jie's condition, they were completely dumbfounded.

They stared at Qin Chuan as if he were a monster.

"Divine Doctor Qin, how did you know?"

Song Jie spoke almost with a trembling voice, "In the past year, I've barely had a good night's sleep. The soreness in my legs was unbearable—made me feel like death would be preferable."

Xia Wanrong also said, "And Xiao Yan's condition, you got it exactly right. Before this last fainting incident, her legs were in terrible pain, and the hospital couldn't find anything wrong."

Song Qingshan gazed at Qin Chuan intently and asked, "Divine Doctor Qin, since you've diagnosed our ailments, it means you have a way to treat us, right?"

Qin Chuan nodded, "Yes, there is a cure!"

"Haha, heaven is kind, heaven is kind indeed!"

After receiving the confirming answer, Song Qingshan spoke excitedly, "To have met Divine Doctor Qin is a blessing for the Song Family!"

Elder Luo fixed his cloudy eyes on Qin Chuan for a long while before he finally sighed and said, "I felt a bit insincere when I said your medical skills surpassed mine, but now, I'm quite certain your medical expertise far exceeds my own. Please, accept my respect."

Having said that, he bowed deeply to Qin Chuan.

By the time Qin Chuan realized what was happening, it was already too late, and all he could do was give a wry smile.

Once he had calmed down, Song Qingshan asked with puzzlement, "Divine Doctor Qin, what exactly is going on? Why do all the members of the Song Family have problems with their legs?"

Qin Chuan asked again, "For those in the Song Family with leg issues, hasn't everyone practiced the same cultivation technique?"

Song Qingshan's eyes widened in disbelief as he said, "Are you suggesting there's a problem with our cultivation technique?"

After speaking, he immediately shook his head, "Impossible! The Song Family owes its current status to that very cultivation technique."

He could not accept this harsh reality.

Qin Chuan stated confidently, "It's definitely an issue with the cultivation technique! I also know that the Song Family's cultivation technique is not complete, but rather a fragmented text."

"What?"

Song Qingshan's eyes widened in disbelief.

Qin Chuan explained, "The Song Family's cultivation technique focuses on leg movements, and as the leg techniques grow stronger, the bones in the legs don't get correspondingly stronger, leading to your leg problems."

He looked at Song Jie and continued, "A year ago, your cultivation speed began to slow down, and it was from that time that your legs started to feel sore."

Song Jie nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, that's right!"

Qin Chuan said, "It's because the strength of your leg bones can't keep up with your leg techniques anymore. Continuing to cultivate will only cause greater damage to the bones. It starts with soreness, then pain, and eventually, you'll end up like Elder Song."

"In addition, this technique is only suitable for men. Women who practice it to a certain extent will suffer from reverse flow of qi and blood, which, at best, will lead to unconsciousness, and at worst, death!"

His words struck like thunder, exploding in everyone's minds.

Song Qingshan let out a long sigh, his face filled with reluctance as he said, "If we don't practice this technique, how else could we preserve the Song Family's territory?"

Although reluctant, he understood that if the Song Family Members continued to cultivate this incomplete technique, they would eventually ruin themselves.

Just as he was deciding whether to destroy the technique, Qin Chuan spoke again, "I have a bone-strengthening bath prescription. You just need to prepare the medicinal broth according to the requirements and soak your legs in it once a day, and you'll be able to continue practicing your technique."

As these words were spoken, the gaze of the Song Family Members all fell on Qin Chuan in unison.

Song Qingshan asked with excitement, "Are these words true?"

Qin Chuan nodded with a smile, "I'll write down the prescription now."

Song Qingshan urged eagerly, "Quickly, quickly, prepare paper and ink for Mr. Qin!"

After Qin Chuan wrote down the medicinal bath prescription, he also performed acupuncture treatment on both Song Qingshan and Song Jie, and Song Jie's leg pain disappeared immediately.

Song Qingshan, with the support of others, was actually able to stand up, a feat that was nothing short of a miracle for someone who had been confined to a wheelchair for a full fifteen years.

As Qin Chuan withdrew his needles, he said, "I have stimulated Elder Song's leg meridians with acupuncture. Elder Song only needs to stick to the medicinal leg baths for half a month and he will be able to walk independently."

Song Qingshan's eyes reddened, and he said with a face full of excitement, "Divine Doctor Qin, you have rendered a life-renewing favor to the Song family, and we have no way to repay it! I won't waste words on sentimentalities, if Divine Doctor Qin ever needs anything from the Song family in the future, just say the word, and we will surely not disappoint you!"

Qin Chuan simply responded with a smile. To him, treating the Song family was but a simple gesture, as was giving them a prescription to strengthen bones.

In his memory, "The Ancient Medical Treasure" was truly a divine book of medicine, chronicling various top-tier medical techniques and prescriptions. With only a partial recovery of his memory, Qin Chuan's medical skills were already heaven-defying.

As Luo Changsheng left the Song residence with Qin Chuan, his face was full of emotion, and he said, "Mr. Qin, I thought I had overestimated you, but it turns out my own understanding was limited. You are truly a miracle!"

Qin Chuan said helplessly, "Elder Luo, like Granny Sun, you should just call me Xiao Chuan. No need for formality with 'Mr. Qin.'

"Haha, alright!"

Luo Changsheng glanced at the time and said with a smile, "Yi Yi should have arrived by now. Xiao Chuan, my granddaughter is truly outstanding..."

Just as Luo Changsheng was bringing Qin Chuan home, at the Song family.

"Grandfather!"

Song Yan, who had just finished tidying up and stepped out of her room, came to see Song Qingshan right away.

After looking over Song Yan, Song Qingshan nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile, "Vibrant, full of spirit, and looking five years younger! Indeed, it is the result of the Marrow-Cleansing and Body-Refining process."

Today was the first day Song Yan had stepped out of her room since waking up from her coma.

The Song Family Members all looked at Song Yan's transformation with surprise and envy.

Suddenly Song Qingshan asked, "Xiao Yan, what do you think of Divine Doctor Qin?"

Song Yan was stunned for a moment before the image of Qin Chuan treating her came to mind, and her face instantly flushed red.

During the treatments, though she pretended to be asleep, her eyes were always slightly open, stealing glances at the Divine Doctor who had "touched" her whole body to see what he looked like.

He had a high nose bridge, thin lips, eyebrows like drawn swords, and starry eyes—his facial features were sharply defined, perfect and impeccable.

When Qin Chuan was massaging her, his deep eyes held not a trace of greed, only the earnestness of someone dedicated to their work. Every movement he made exuded mature charm, deeply attracting her.

After a long while, Song Yan smiled and said, "A gentleman like jade, a scholar without equal in this age!"

"Hahaha!"

Song Qingshan let out a hearty laugh and, staring at the blushing Song Yan, he said, "Divine Doctor Qin not only cured you but also gave our Song family a bone-strengthening prescription. Such a favor cannot be repaid with mere material wealth alone."

Song Yan nodded and asked subconsciously, "But what else can we give him besides wealth?"

Song Qingshan stared at Song Yan with a twinkle in his eyes and said, "As far as I know, Divine Doctor Qin is not yet married. You are of similar age to him. If Grandfather were to betroth you to him, would you be willing?"
