81: Can I drink this stuff every day?

Qin Jiang was startled when he looked in the direction the sound came from.

A couple walked in from outside; the woman was average-looking but had a good figure.

She was wearing a provocative red tight-fitting hip-hugging dress.

She swayed her hips as she walked, looking alluring.

The man was wearing a black designer suit, indicating he was wealthy.

However, the man's current state was heartbreaking to witness.

His cheekbones protruded, his mouth was sunken, and there were black spots on his cheeks, making him look like a walking corpse.

Before Qin Jiang could even begin his diagnosis, the netizens were already buzzing with discussion.

"I know this one, it's kidney deficiency, it must be kidney deficiency!"

"You don't need to say it, anyone who isn't blind can see it."

"This Buddy is the most depleted person I've ever seen; I'm even afraid he'll die on my phone screen."

"Just by looking at his complexion, you know he has a story."

The man's condition was indeed so poor that Qin Jiang couldn't help but say to Tang Ping, "Please wait a moment; his situation seems quite troublesome. I'll help him first."

Tang Ping nodded in understanding, actively stepping aside to let the man go first.

With the woman's support, the man finally managed to sit opposite Dr. Qin.

He looked up at Dr. Qin, his eyes already filled with tears.

"Dr. Qin, I've finally found you!"

"I'm a loyal fan of yours. I traveled all the way to Jin City just for you, Dr. Qin, to save me!"

Upon hearing the man say this, Liu Yan, who was standing beside him, covered her mouth and chuckled.

Qin Jiang was a new Streamer; where would he get such loyal fans?

This person probably saw Qin Jiang's superb medical skills through the live broadcast and came over to try his luck.

Qin Jiang waved his hand.

"It's alright. Since you've come to my clinic, I will certainly not let you die here, rest assured."

"Tell me, what's your name?"

The man honestly introduced himself.

"My name is Luan An. I run a magazine agency, and I also have several live streaming entertainment companies under it."

Qin Jiang nodded in understanding.

No wonder Luan An looked so depleted; he runs an entertainment company.

That makes perfect sense then.

After all, entertainment companies often come into contact with female college students who harbor dreams of performing.

They have the figures and the looks, and most importantly, they are easy to deceive!

For tens of thousands of yuan, they can be conned into believing they have potential to be packaged as idols and debut.

Once they truly believe it, the money is slowly recouped later through training fees, announcement fees, and the like.

It can be said that this industry is a guaranteed profit, but how much you earn depends entirely on how much conscience you have left.

More conscience, less profit.

Less conscience, more profit.

Qin Jiang does not discriminate against any profession; even this kind of entertainment company operates on a 'one willing to hit, one willing to be hit' basis.

Qin Jiang asked, "Tell me, what's your situation?"

Luan An said somewhat awkwardly, "Dr. Qin, for the past week, I've constantly felt dizzy and had tinnitus, my vision is blurry, and sometimes I even experience auditory hallucinations."

"Most importantly, my back aches, my legs are weak, and urinating is painful."

"Dr. Qin, do you think I'm almost ruined?"

After Luan An described his symptoms, Qin Jiang sighed.

"You young people, you just mess around."

"Don't you know that the kidney is the innate essence and qi? Once the kidney qi is exhausted, your life will also come to an end."

"From your description just now, your situation is already precarious, and it has even damaged your fundamental vitality."

Qin Jiang's words were not meant to scare Luan An.

The kidney is the innate foundation, the source of life, and the beginning of everything.

This is also why those who cultivate the Tao emphasize not leaking and embracing the original truth.

This truth refers to the kidney essence.

Why do Little Girls always seem full of energy, with abundant internal qi, and their cries have strong penetrating power, audible from far away?

It's because they are born with abundant kidney essence.

That's why many traditional martial arts require practitioners to be virgins; otherwise, if your kidney essence leaks, your strength will be vastly different from others.

Luan An didn't understand these traditional Chinese medicine theories that Dr. Qin was explaining.

He quickly asked, "Dr. Qin, just tell me, is my current situation serious?"

Qin Jiang glanced at him.

"What do you think?"

"Put your hand up; I'll take your pulse."

Luan An didn't waste words and quickly placed his hand on the pulse pillow.

As soon as Qin Jiang placed his hand on it, his expression immediately darkened.

Seeing this, Luan An's heart grew even more anxious.

"Dr. Qin, don't scare me. Just tell me directly; I can handle it."

Qin Jiang asked, "You've been rewarding yourself too frequently, haven't you? Others at most once a day, but you're doing it three times a day. Are you treating it like a meal?"

Upon hearing Dr. Qin say this, the netizens in the live stream expressed their astonishment.

"Holy cow, really? Three times a day? Is this Buddy that fierce?!"

"No wonder he looks so depleted. At this frequency, it's already good that he hasn't died suddenly on the spot."

"I envy this young man. I'm forty, and forget three times a day, I might not even be able to produce ammunition once in three days. My wife is divorcing me every day."

"You guys still underestimate contemporary young people. I've seen the most impressive 'rewarding Buddy' do it five times a day. His hair turned completely white in a year, and he kicked the bucket the second year. I still remember his personalized signature before he kicked the bucket: 'Live for the moment.'"

Exposed by Dr. Qin in public, Luan An also appeared very embarrassed.

"Dr. Qin, you know my work environment; it's too difficult to resist temptation."

"And sometimes my work pressure is too high, so I rely on this method to relax."

Upon hearing Luan An say this, the netizens exclaimed, "Good heavens!"

This guy isn't here to show off, is he?

Qin Jiang asked with great curiosity, "That shouldn't be the case. People have self-protection mechanisms."

"For example, after every indulgence, there's a 'sage mode.' The more kidney qi is depleted, the longer the 'sage mode' lasts. How do you manage to maintain three times a day without interruption?"

Luan An said earnestly, "It's all thanks to self-discipline."

Qin Jiang: ...

Qin Jiang felt speechless. You're indulging yourself to this extent; does it have anything to do with self-discipline?

But Luan An didn't feel anything was wrong at all; instead, he proudly shared his experience.

"At first, like most people, I would have 'sage mode,' contemplating the meaning of life and the origin of the universe."

"But ever since I met Nana, I stopped thinking about those ethereal things. I focused on exploring the origin of life."

Luan An took out his thermos cup and mysteriously showed it to Dr. Qin.

"Dr. Qin, look, this is the tea Nana specially brewed for me. She's so good to me."

Qin Jiang looked closely and saw that the thermos cup was full of goji berries and various precious Chinese medicinal herbs!
