"Ah..." the beautiful waitress covered her mouth, letting out a gasp of astonishment. Everyone else simply stared dumbfounded at the table, as if they had seen something incredible.
"Into powder, it actually turned into powder!" Wan Gaoyuan murmured in disbelief.
To shake dice into a towering pillar was hard enough, but to shake them into powder—how much strength would that require? Made of hard plastic with both hardness and toughness, even a hammer would struggle to crush it into powder, let alone human hands.
"Brother Lin, I’m convinced, I’ve lost completely, it seems you’re no ordinary person," said Wan Gaoyuan, sincerely impressed, as he handed Lin Tian a check.
"Boss Wan, I used some tricks too, and I really admire that ace up your sleeve; I couldn’t pull it off myself," Lin Tian admitted honestly.
"Okay, you two don’t need to keep praising each other. You’re both impressive, so let’s all disperse," Zi Yan said with a charming glance at Lin Tian, politely dispersing the crowd of onlookers.
Seeing there was no more spectacle to watch, the guests dispersed, and Wan Gaoyuan turned to ask Song Yanan, "Yanan, how’s the treatment going this time? Feeling any better?"
"It seems really severe this time; the physiotherapy hasn’t shown much effect, and it still hurts when I move too much," Song Yanan shook her head.
Zi Yan also nodded in agreement, helplessly saying, "We’ve tried Chinese medicine, massage, and acupuncture, but indeed the effects are minimal. If that doesn’t work, we might as well try Western medicine."
"It’s no use, both electric shock therapy and Western medications have been tried, and they can only alleviate it. I’m afraid to take Western medications long-term," Wan Gaoyuan sighed heavily.
It seemed they had already tried many methods, but ultimately none were effective.
"Sister Zi Yan, do you remember the last time I told you about my mom?" Xiao Manxue glanced at Lin Tian and interjected, "Her shoulder pain has completely healed now, and it hasn’t recurred."
"Really? Mrs. Xiao was here just a month ago; how did it suddenly get better? Where did she get treated?" Zi Yan exclaimed in surprise. She was quite aware of Mrs. Xiao’s condition, which was similar to Song Yanan’s chronic back issue, just not as severe.
"It was Lin Tian who cured her," Xiao Manxue winked at Lin Tian, signaling him not to deny it.
When she mentioned Mrs. Xiao, Lin Tian knew what she was going to say and could only nod in acknowledgement. When they first met, it wasn’t that Lin Tian didn’t want to speak up, but because at that time, Wan Gaoyuan wouldn’t have believed him, and Lin Tian also felt somewhat dismayed, not wanting to beg someone to believe in his treatment.
Now that their relationship had improved, it was a different matter altogether.
"Brother Lin, you’re not tricking me?" The sudden glimmer of hope made Wan Gaoyuan a bit overly excited as he grasped Lin Tian’s hand, his eyes filled with anticipation.
If this had been their first meeting, he would never have shown such a lapse of composure, but having witnessed Lin Tian’s miraculous abilities himself, he had to believe.
"Yes, I have cured Mrs. Xiao," Lin Tian confirmed.
Zi Yan looked at Lin Tian’s young face and couldn’t convince herself to believe what Lin Tian had said. She had treated Mrs. Xiao’s condition before, only managing to alleviate it without being able to eradicate it completely. Chronic ailments in human bodies were the hardest to cure, and although she was confident in her acupuncture and massage skills, she still hadn’t managed to cure it completely.
What she thought didn’t matter much, but Wan Gaoyuan clung to that slim hope and solemnly said, "Brother Lin, as long as you can cure my wife’s soreness and illness, I can agree to any condition within my power."
"Boss Wan, there’s no need for that. Whether I can cure it still remains to be seen. After all, everyone’s condition is different. If you don’t mind, we can start now. How about that?" Lin Tian hadn’t finished his sentence, although his remarkable massage techniques combined with his x-ray vision were impressive, they weren’t omnipotent nor were they the Immortal Pill.
If Song Yanan’s condition was particular, it might be incurable. Zi Yan also wanted to know how Lin Tian would treat her, so she said, "Follow me, let’s go to the therapy room."
The four of them followed Zi Yan to the therapy room. Inside there was a scent of sandalwood, coming from an exquisite incense burner lit upon a desk near the window. There were also some electronic devices that Lin Tian had never seen before and didn’t understand their use.
However, the two huge medicinal wooden tubs on the floor looked familiar; Lin Tian had seen the old grandfather tinkering with them. Normally, metal tubs shouldn’t be used for herbal baths out of concern that the medicine might react with the metal and destroy its effectiveness.
"Sister Song, please sit down, and I’ll examine you," Lin Tian said, pointing to a chair.
Actually, this elaborateness wasn’t necessary, but if he didn’t act thoroughly, he might arouse suspicion, which would be more troublesome. Song Yanan did as told and sat on the chair, while Lin Tian extended two fingers, pretending to take her pulse. The others remained silent, afraid to disturb Lin Tian.
He slightly closed his eyes, his gaze had already pierced through, going beyond Song Yanan’s clothing and skin into her lower back. On seeing the scene inside her waist, Lin Tian frowned. Her condition was indeed more severe than Mrs. Xiao’s, who only suffered from blocked meridians.
But with Song Yanan, it wasn’t just the blocked meridians. The capillaries in her muscles were also blocked causing her muscles to look dull and slack due to insufficient blood supply, lacking the vibrancy of a healthy person.
The obstruction in the meridians and the poor blood circulation caused mild muscle atrophy, but fortunately, it wasn’t so severe that it was incurable. Lin Tian opened his eyes and let out a sigh of relief. The others, who were anxiously watching his diagnosis, felt somewhat relieved upon seeing him relax.
Lin Tian already had a treatment plan in mind. To completely cure the issue, massage alone wouldn’t be enough—medicinal bathing would also be necessary. The old grandfather had already passed the secret formula to him; he simply had to prepare the medicine accordingly.
"If only I knew acupuncture, the effect would be even better," Lin Tian thought regretfully.
"Madam Zi Yan, you should have some herbs here, I need to prepare a prescription," Lin Tian asked, turning around.
"Yes, it’s over here," Zi Yan, aware of the value of Lin Tian’s prescription, didn’t offer to help prepare it. She led the way to a door, finally opening it to reveal yet another room.
"Miss, Boss Wan, you all wait outside, Zi Yan helping me is enough," Lin Tian suggested to the two before entering to prepare the medicine.
The reason was to proceed with the medicinal bath treatment, devoid of embarrassment, as Lin Tian was an adult man; generally, husbands are unable to accept such situations even if it’s purely for medical reasons. Wan Gaoyuan didn’t think too much of it. Having visited many places for treatment, he was accustomed to doctors who wouldn’t allow others to be present.
However, Xiao Manxue guessed something and shot him an annoyed glance, looking almost as if she were spotting a pervert. Lin Tian, accustomed to her objections, let her be. If he really had such sleazy intents, he’d have had Mrs. Xiao undress for a medicinal bath during her treatment and taken advantage then. He was truly a pure and honest man!
