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 be superstition and tricks.
However, as the descendant of a Chinese medicine family, Caesar Tu clearly knew the existence of
the Five Arts of Chinese Metaphysics. Amongst them, some of these skills were mythical and even
difficult to exin, although not as over-the-top as what was described in films and novels.
For example, one of the medical skills he was good at was rted 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 resultspared 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 Tu''s grandfather Jason Tu as an example. He had been studying medicine for more
than 60 years and practicing medicine for more than 50 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 Tu was shocked and amazed.
"Have you really reached the realm of the mobilizing Qi in acupuncture?" Caesar Tu was still in
disbelief.
Fade Chen did not exin, instead, he stretched out his right hand and gently ced 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 Tu 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 sessful businessman in Long City, he had manypetent
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 Tu and said impassively,
"You lost this challenge. Are you convinced?"
Caesar Tu 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 Tu''s attitude. He nodded lightly and reached out to help
Caesar Tu 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 Tu 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 me 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 Tu 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 me however you like," Fade Chen replied.
"Okay, Brother Fade." Caesar Tu said. "By the way, Brother Fade, how did you learn your medical
skills? Can you teach me a thing or two?"
Fade Chen red at Caesar and advised, "You have to master your foundation first. Don''t try to run
when you have not learned how to walk."
"Yes, Brother Fade!" Caesar Tu 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 Tu 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 Tu and exined. "Your
family owns a clinic in Long City. Since yourwork is wider, can you help me find these herbs and
some stuffs? After you have found them, I am willing to pay forthem."
Caesar Tu 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 Tu to help keep an eye for him.
Right at that moment, Caesar Tu''s mobile phone vibrated. There was a message. He took it out and
instantly eximed "Oh, no!". Then he turned to Charles Wu and said, "I almost forgot about the
thing I came here for. It''s gettingte. Uncle Charles, please help me to give some opinions!"
Charles Wu said, "Caesar, I still have something to do at home. This..."
Caesar Tu 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!"
