Chapter 350: Apprenticing

Meng Yifan's Pill was still exerting its effect, and under the witness of numerous medical experts, the malignant tumor in Daniel's lung, which measured a full eight centimeters, was shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"My God, the tumor's diameter has now shrunk to seven centimeters, six centimeters; it has already become a T3 stage tumor. Look, everyone, it's shrinking again! Its maximum diameter is now only four centimeters; it can only be considered a T2 stage tumor. Furthermore, the cancerous tissues and organs in other parts of Daniel's body that had already metastasized are also rapidly transforming."

"A miracle, this is truly a miracle; it's just too incredible."

"It is said that the new medicine from just a moment ago was refined by an Immortal Cultivator from Shenzhou. I really hope they can make the method for refining this new anti-cancer medicine public; this is a great deed that would benefit cancer patients all over the world."

The medical experts, watching the changes in Daniel's body through the instruments, were all filled with amazement.

Five minutes later, the tumor in Daniel's lung had become only 0.1 centimeters. Perhaps the medicinal effect had been exhausted, as that last little bit of the tumor did not completely disappear. None of the experts present doubted that as long as one more of that new medicine was administered, Daniel, a patient in the late stages of lung cancer, would be completely cured.

With the tumor reduced to only 0.1 centimeters, he could only be considered an early-stage cancer patient, which could be easily cured with current medical means.

"Mr. Daniel, how are you feeling?" asked the beautiful blonde, blue-eyed nurse.

"Oh, fantastic, it's truly amazing! Ever since I discovered I had lung cancer, I have never felt this comfortable. My breathing is smooth now, and my whole body feels like it has an endless supply of strength; I even feel like going outside for a run. Haha, this new medicine of yours is just too magical," Daniel said, unable to believe it.

Hearing Daniel's words, the medical experts present were once again shocked. One must know that when Daniel arrived, he had difficulty breathing, accompanied by intense coughing, and walked unsteadily; if he walked even a little too fast, he would experience a strong sense of suffocation.

Yet now, Daniel was not only breathing smoothly and speaking coherently, but he even wanted to go for a run; the contrast between before and after was just too obvious.

Dr. James, with his graying hair, was a recipient of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine; he was a medical authority and also the leader of this group of medical experts.

James said to Daniel, "Hmm, Mr. Daniel, if you truly want to go for a run, that is possible. There is a professional track outside; you can go and try running a lap. Of course, to start with, please run a little slower. After all, you had cancer before and haven't exercised for a long time, so your muscles have atrophied somewhat; don't exert yourself too much."

Just at this moment, a slightly younger doctor walked over quickly and handed Daniel's latest medical examination report to Dr. James.

"My God, his muscles are strong and powerful now, even stronger than a normal person's. This... this is just too magical."

James rubbed his eyes, put on his glasses, and looked at the medical report in his hand again, confirming that he really hadn't misread it. He looked at Daniel and said excitedly, "Mr. Daniel, you are very strong now; you can go ahead and run fast."

Daniel nodded with a smile and was soon taken by the servants in the manor to a professional four-hundred-meter track. He took deep breaths of fresh air and then took off running wildly, running faster and faster, even faster than an ordinary person. One could not tell at all that not long ago he had been a terminally ill cancer patient.

"The new medicine is too magical. No, I must go see Mr. Dayiwan and ask him to tell me who the person is that refined this new medicine. I want to apprentice myself to him."

Thinking of this, the old doctor James did not hesitate and walked quickly to find Dayiwan.

The entire process of Daniel's treatment was watched by Dayiwan, Meng Yifan, and others from start to finish. There were professional doctors explaining the changes in Daniel's body to Dayiwan, as well as the magical aspects of the new medicine provided by Meng Yifan. All the medical experts praised the new medicine highly and gave it an extremely high evaluation.

In fact, there was no need for the medical experts to use so much professional terminology. Dayiwan only needed to look at Daniel, who had been on the verge of death but was now as robust as an ox and running as fast as a professional athlete, to know that Meng Yifan's Spirit Pill could truly cure late-stage lung cancer patients.

"True Person Meng, your new anti-cancer medicine is too magical. I am convinced, completely convinced. I want all of the remaining Third Grade Pill and that Fourth-grade Pill. We shall proceed according to the conditions you set out. However, Mushroom Bombs and Hydrogen Balloons are restricted weapons, so I need a little time. Hmm, please give me one day, and I guarantee that two Mushroom Bombs and one Hydrogen Balloon will be delivered into your hands," Dayiwan said.

Meng Yifan nodded in agreement; he could still wait for one day. In the time that followed, Dayiwan used his connections to prepare the powerful Mushroom Bombs and the Hydrogen Balloon, while Meng Yifan, at Dayiwan's warm invitation, rested in the manor for the day.

The seventy-eight-year-old Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine recipient, James, found Meng Yifan once again. He bowed respectfully and said, "Mr. Meng, please take me as your disciple. I truly want to apprentice myself to you and learn the mysterious medical arts of the East."

Meng Yifan was somewhat speechless. He knew that James wanted to learn the method of making the new anti-cancer medicine, but this Anti-cancer Pill was refined using the Immortal Cultivator's method of alchemy, and to perform this method, one had to be at least an Immortal Cultivator.

Moreover, even if James were an Immortal Cultivator, the several types of Spirit Herbs needed to refine the Anti-cancer Pill were almost non-existent on Earth. Therefore, even if Meng Yifan wanted to teach him, he wouldn't be able to learn it.

"Mr. James, go back. I have said it many times; I do not take disciples. Please do not come and bother me again," Meng Yifan said.

James was not discouraged and showed his fanaticism and persistence for medicine. He said, "Mr. Meng, I have read many customs and legends about your East. The masters there, before taking a disciple, will test the disciple's character and their attitude toward learning, as well as whether they respect their teacher and the Dao."

"Please rest assured, my desire to apprentice myself to you is well-considered. Regardless of whether you agree, in my heart, you are already my teacher. You have an old saying in the East: 'A teacher for a day is a father for life.' In my heart, you are an existence similar to a father."

Meng Yifan was somewhat speechless. What was all this? How did he inexplicably end up with a seventy- or eighty-year-old son, and a foreigner at that?

"Father, please teach me the mysterious medical arts of the East. I kneel before you," James said, and with a thud, he knelt before Meng Yifan.

Meng Yifan was greatly astonished. He had not expected this Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine recipient to be so willing to cast aside his pride and actually kneel before Meng Yifan, wanting to apprentice himself and learn the arts.

Meng Yifan flicked his right hand, releasing True Qi, and James was lifted up by an invisible force.

James touched the air beneath him in surprise and said, "Is this magic? Oh, no, that's not right. According to your Eastern way of putting it, is this Immortal Art? Although it cannot be seen with the naked eye, I truly felt a force supporting me. This is just too magical."
