"I'm here to take your pulse and diagnose you," Lin Yifan answered.
He had long guessed that his father would be surprised since he had never studied medicine before, and now, seemingly expertly, he was taking pulses and diagnosing illnesses, which would surprise anyone.
"You know how to diagnose? When did you learn? How come I don't know about this?" Lin Tianwen asked curiously.
His son had returned from his trip a completely changed person, to the point that he barely recognized him.
"I learned it a few months ago; of course, you wouldn't know," Lin Yifan replied, and then he admonished, "Okay, Dad, relax your mind now. Don't think about anything; I'm going to check your body."
Although Lin Tianwen didn't know if what Lin Yifan was saying was true or false, since it was his son who had suggested it, he would just go along with it.
He was curious to see whether his distinguished son actually possessed any medical skills.
Once his father relaxed, Lin Yifan closed his eyes and focused, exerting his Cultivation Power to check his father's body.
Soon, he sensed the injuries in his father's body and the chronic ailments that had accumulated from years of labor.
Not only did his father have external injuries, but there were also multiple fractures in his bones, obviously caused by external forces; plus, he had tuberculosis in his lungs, liver cirrhosis, high blood sugar, among other diseases—a whole array of ailments.
He felt that it was necessary to give his father a thorough treatment now.
After the examination was finished, he slowly opened his eyes and moved his hand away.
Seeing Lin Yifan's earnest manner, Lin Tianwen asked with amusement, "How is it? My Divine Doctor son, after checking for so long, what exactly did you find?"
"Dad, your condition is quite serious, but I will help you fully recover, don't worry," Lin Yifan reassured him.
"Oh! You actually diagnosed some illnesses, eh! My son is really impressive," Lin Tianwen said mockingly, clearly not believing Lin Yifan's words.
Because in his understanding, taking a pulse could only reveal some superficial illnesses; to truly diagnose hidden chronic diseases, one would still need modern medical technology like MRI and ultrasound; so, he didn't believe Lin Yifan could detect his hidden ailments just by taking his pulse.
"Hehe, Dad, I know you don't believe me, but I will certainly show you what shock feels like," Lin Yifan said enigmatically, pretending to be mysterious.
"Is that so? Well, I'd like to experience just how shocking that feeling can be," Lin Tianwen said, fearless, still not believing in his son's medical abilities.
"Hmph!"
Lin Yifan snorted coldly, then took out a small medicine bottle from within his clothes, poured out a pill, and instructed his father to swallow it.
"Son, why are you giving me a pill? You're not going to tell me this is a Divine Pill, are you?" Lin Tianwen thought it was funny even to consider.
Belief in Divine Pills was something of the past. Now, who would still believe in them?
"A Divine Pill it may not be, but you could say it's a Spirit Pill," Lin Yifan answered and then suggested, "Dad! If you want to experience what shock feels like, swallow this pill, and I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
"Alright then! I'll give it a try, and see if it's as miraculous as you say," and with that, Lin Tianwen opened his mouth and swallowed the pill without any hesitation.
Lin Yifan was his own flesh and blood, and had just helped him, so he trusted that Lin Yifan wouldn't harm him with the pill; even if the pill was ineffective, it wasn't going to kill him; thus, he swallowed it with peace of mind.
Not long after swallowing the Elixir, he felt the broken bones throughout his body heal by themselves; moreover, the cuts on his skin visibly healed at a rapid pace.
"This... This..."
The next moment, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
Seeing his face full of surprise, Lin Yifan's mother, who was just as puzzled, curiously asked, "Husband, how do you feel? Is there any effect?"
As Lin Tianwen's older brother, Lin Yifan's uncle asked worriedly, "Tianwen, what's wrong? Can you say something?"
It wasn't that he thought Lin Yifan intended to harm his own father, but seeing this situation, he couldn't help but worry subconsciously.
After being astonished for a while, Lin Tianwen finally answered his wife and older brother's questions, "It's miraculous! My broken bones, they've all healed, and even the scars on my skin seem to have disappeared."
Now, his emotions soared beyond measure, and he fully believed Lin Yifan's medical abilities. Then he immediately unraveled his bandages to check whether the surface wounds had indeed all healed.
Upon removing them, he found to his astonishment that not a single scar was left, his entire body was unscathed.
Seeing this, Lin Yifan's mother and uncle, and aunt also came to believe in Lin Yifan's medical skills; nothing could be more convincing than the reality before their eyes.
"Son, well done! Your dad is thoroughly impressed!" Lin Tianwen praised heartily.
The elixirs Lin Yifan prescribed were too wonderful, even more effective than any medicine he took or any IV drips he had ever had.
"Dad! Now you know what shock tastes like, right?" Lin Yifan teased.
He knew his father would be astonished, everything was within his expectations.
"I have tasted it, it's utterly incredible, I'm even a bit doubtful if this is a dream," Lin Tianwen replied with a sigh.
The sensation just now was so miraculous that it was hard for him to believe it was real.
"Hehe," Lin Yifan chuckled, then furrowed his brows, "Dad, although your external and internal injuries have healed, you still have many serious illnesses inside that need to be treated one by one. But don't worry, I will refine elixirs and cure you of each one."
The pill he had just given his father to swallow was golden sore medicine, capable of healing internal and external wounds; however, diseases like tuberculosis, liver cirrhosis, and high blood sugar were more difficult to treat. Therefore, he needed to develop corresponding formulas and then refine the pills to cure his father's severe internal diseases.
"You can refine elixirs?"
Upon hearing this news, Lin Tianwen was astonished, never expecting his son to be adept at such a mysterious art.
"Yes! I am now an alchemist," Lin Yifan answered.
"Are elixirs really effective?" Lin Tianwen asked curiously.
Elixirs have always been mythologized by people in the past; with the advent of modern medicine, they were dethroned and completely fell out of existence. Thus, he was curious if these formerly mythologized medicines really worked.
"The pill you just swallowed is an elixir, what do you think?" Lin Yifan retorted.
That was the best answer, believe it or not, it indeed worked.
"Alright, I believe you," Lin Tianwen said, with nothing left to retort, because he honestly couldn't find any reason to.
After his father's physical examination and healing of internal and external injuries were all taken care of, it was time to treat his mother's illness.
