52: Luopingchuan

Long Yuan pondered, "I'm about ninety percent sure. As for helping, I'll need a sterile lab, some medical instruments and tools, and also... the medical fees must be paid upfront. How much can you provide?"

"Hehe, if you can truly restore them, even if it's only seventy or eighty percent, then no amount of money you ask for would be too much! You know, if you succeed, that would absolutely be a medical miracle for our Great Ming, an astonishing feat! But, can you really do it?" Luo Ying chuckled.

"How can a man say he can't... *cough, cough, cough*... I mean, if all the conditions can be met, I'm confident I can restore them to over ninety percent!"

"Ninety percent?! Oh my goodness... But I'm afraid I can't help with this alone. At the very least, my father needs to know, since he's the director. Only he can make this decision, and with his cooperation, your work will be much more convenient..." Luo Ying mused.

Long Yuan thought carefully and felt that Luo Ying had a point. Besides, what he was doing was merely demonstrating a bit of ability in The Art of Medicine. After all, this surgery was only considered average on Earth, not as exaggerated as Luo Ying described. It was probably just her reaction to something unfamiliar. Moreover, this medical skill wasn't linked to Cultivation, so he would still be seen as a weakling. This shouldn't have too much impact on keeping his ultimate secret safe. But the medical fees were a large sum of money, which could save him a lot of time earning money, so it was still very worthwhile.

Since the benefits outweighed the drawbacks, it wouldn't hurt to let Luo Ying's father, Luo Pingchuan, know a little about his medical skills...

"Can you make sure your father also keeps it a secret?" Long Yuan asked.

"I'll try! But, my father listens to me quite a bit, hehe..." Luo Ying smiled.

"Alright then..."

After they discussed for a while longer, Luo Ying contacted her father and then took Long Yuan to his office...

In a spacious office, Luo Pingchuan gently put down his phone, his expression a bit displeased. Just now, after receiving a call from his youngest daughter, Luo Ying, he almost scolded her, but in the end, he held back and agreed to meet her classmate, Long Yuan. In his opinion, his youngest daughter was truly becoming more and more mischievous. She actually told him that a 16-year-old classmate could treat large-area skin burns. How was that possible? These two little brats, one dared to boast, and the other dared to believe, it was simply Heaven-Defying! Not to mention that his Advanced doctors couldn't cure it, even the Old Ancestor had already concluded that it was impossible to cure!

He had so many things to do all day, and his time was precious. Yet today, she still begged him to take care of her injured classmate. This was already an act of extreme doting. He didn't expect her to now propose such an absurd request, wanting her other classmate to treat seriously injured patients. No, no, if this continued, she would cause trouble for the Family sooner or later. Also, what was her relationship with this male classmate? Why did she trust him so much and listen to his every word? Could there be some unknown relationship between them...

Just as he was thinking, he heard his beloved daughter's voice call out, "Father, we're here!"

Luo Pingchuan looked up and couldn't help but be slightly stunned, feeling that the young man looked a bit familiar. But the next moment, his expression changed slightly, because he sensed a heavy Qi rushing towards him. Under the influence of this Qi, the image of this young man in his eyes suddenly elevated quite a bit, and all the previous unpleasantness instantly vanished into thin air...

"Hello, Luo Shu! I am Long Yuan!" Long Yuan bowed.

"You are called... Long... Yuan?!"

"Yes! The Long of Dragon and Phoenix auspiciousness, the Yuan of profound knowledge..."

"Good name! I heard from Xiao Ying that you can treat severe large-area skin burns?" Luo Pingchuan suppressed the restless stirrings in his heart and asked.

"Yes! I just saw their condition. Although their skin burns are very severe, with my method, I can at least restore them to over eighty percent. If all conditions are met, the effect might be even better!" Long Yuan nodded.

"Impossible..." Luo Pingchuan's first reaction was disbelief, but he still suppressed the anger in his heart and said.

Seeing that things were going south, Luo Ying quickly acted spoiled, "Oh, Father, just listen to Long Yuan's method first. Maybe you'll agree after you hear it!"

"This... Alright, then tell me your treatment method first. But before that, can you tell me about your parents' situation?" Luo Pingchuan asked.

"My parents, they are both Mortals, running a small business. They recently went out of town to visit relatives..."

"Oh?! You are not from the Fengyang Dragon Family?" Luo Pingchuan asked suspiciously.

"No! We are people with the surname Long from a different place than them."

"I see, then tell me your method..."

Long Yuan nodded and simply described his treatment method. This description left Luo Pingchuan completely bewildered!

Luo Ying, beside him, was also wide-eyed with shock, looking at Long Yuan and feeling that she couldn't see through this usually low-key classmate at all...

"You mean..."

Luo Pingchuan tried his best to calm his chaotic heartbeat, swallowed, and continued, "You can Cultivate new skin from the patient's good skin, and then replace the patient's old skin with these new skins?!"

Long Yuan nodded and said, "That's right! As long as the nutrient solution is well-prepared and the energy is sufficient, the growth rate of new skin is actually very fast. It can grow enough new skin in about a week. Moreover, since the new skin is grown from the patient's own skin cells, it will not cause a rejection phenomenon when transplanted onto the patient, because it is essentially the patient's own new skin and can integrate well with the patient..."

"This... what is nutrient solution? What are skin cells? What is rejection phenomenon?" Luo Pingchuan asked again.

Long Yuan was stunned. No way, the dignified Family Head of the Luo Family, he wouldn't even understand nutrient solution, skin cells, and rejection phenomenon, would he?

Is the level of The Art of Medicine in this world really not as high as he imagined?!

This is bad, this is bad...

He originally thought that he was just showing off a bit of medical skill and shouldn't attract too much attention, but as soon as he spoke, he realized the problem was big. If the level of The Art of Medicine in this world was really low, then wouldn't his medical plan be a bit... Heaven-Defying?!

In that case, it would be hard for him not to become famous...

However, the arrow was already on the string, and he had to shoot!

Long Yuan bit the bullet and said, "Luo Shu, haven't the hospitals here ever prepared nutrient solution?"

"No! What is this liquid? What is it used for? What does 'nutrient' mean?" Luo Pingchuan said definitively.

"This... The so-called nutrient is actually the substance that the skin needs to absorb for growth! Our human skin is actually composed of various nutrients. Therefore, if we want the skin to grow, we need to provide these substances additionally to supply its rapid growth needs. And it's best for these substances to be formulated into a liquid state to be better absorbed by the skin cells, so they can continuously split and grow. These liquids are called nutrient solutions..." Long Yuan explained.

"I see... Then what do you mean by skin cells and rejection phenomenon? And what is 'split and grow'?" Luo Pingchuan instantly turned into a curious baby, throwing out questions one after another, leaving Long Yuan stunned...

He kept lamenting in his heart that this time he was probably really finished. Such an explanation would not only make him talk a lot and waste a lot of time, but it would also make the Luo Family target him!

"What to do? Should I just not treat them? But the words have already been spoken, there's no taking them back. I'll just muddle through for now. Fortunately, with my current Cultivation, I don't need to be too afraid of the Luo Family..."

Long Yuan secretly made up his mind and gave a rather perfunctory explanation to Luo Pingchuan's questions, but even so, it made Luo Pingchuan sweat profusely and his heart pound, feeling as if he had listened to a lesson from a heavenly book...
