Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew)
Chapter 2224 Making Two Medicines Simultaneously

If I go meet him right now, those green-eyed monsters will surely spread rumors about Matthew pulling the strings to win the competition, which will only land him in big trouble. And besides, if I'm there in person, it'll cause a big commotion. At the thought of this, Rhett let out a sigh of regret and sat back down in his seat.

Kenneth suggested next to him, "Since you can't go there, why don't you let Davon go in your stead? He can meet with that Matthew guy on the pretext of supervising him!"

Rhett's eyes lit up at his suggestion.

On the other hand, after the little monk's bone-setting and Matthew's acupuncture treatment, the treatment of the old man's lumbar spine was completed. After fixing his lumbar spine in place with splints, they would have to deal with the lateral dislocation of the bones in the old man's feet.

Since the old man was bedridden for years due to his long-term illness, they first began by examining the nerves and blood vessels in his feet. After realizing that they weren't completely necrotic, the trio couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.

However, the Practical Clinical Treatment of Stubborn Ailments contest would only last for three hours, most of which they had spent on the preliminary examination, diagnosis, and treatment of the patient's lumbar spine. And now, there was only less than an hour left before the end of the contest.

Of course, in this situation, the audience was actually even more nervous than Matthew and others. Now that the trio had spent more than two hours treating the old man's lumbar spine, would they still have time to treat his feet? Was there any hope of recovering the money they had waged on them?

According to the rules of the competition, the contestants didn't necessarily have to completely cure the patients of their intractable illnesses. At the end of the contest, the judges would score the contestants according to the outcome of their treatment. Only contesting teams with scores that were up to standard could move on to the next round.

To ensure that they smoothly qualify for the next round, Matthew wouldn't stop at this point, of course. "Lola, do you have all the herbs we need?" he asked. After seeing her nod, he turned his gaze toward the little monk, saying, "Little monk, we're running out of time. You set the patient's bones first while I help Lola refine the medicine!"

Obviously, it wouldn't be enough to rely on the hospital's readily available drugs alone to deal with the patient's persistent trouble. Therefore, they decided to select the herbs before refining the medicine on- site.

However, just when he stood up, Lola, the Goddess of Meteora, immediately stopped him. "You don't have to. I can do it alone." There isn't enough time left for us to cure the patient in a limited period of time, she thought. With that, she took out a small cauldron. After she lifted her arms, two packets of medicinal herbs on the table fell quickly into the cauldron. Then, she closed the pot and pressed her palms against it, and an orange flame suddenly soared underneath the cooking device.

Everyone was amazed by the sight of this, especially those who also pursued a career in medicine, who were even more surprised. Both the refining of pills and the making of medicine required the doctor's undivided attention; if the doctor got disturbed or distracted in the process, it would quickly fail. Lola's technique of making two medicines at the same time was very rare. Even though they had heard of it, this was the first time they saw it done by one of their peers.

"As expected from the Goddess of Meteora! Her technique of making two medicines at the same time is simply amazing!"

"This lady has far surpassed her fellows in medicine when it comes to making medicines."

After some sighs of awe and admiration from the audience, the little monk finished setting the patient's bones. The next step was for Matthew to do acupuncture on the old man again. When the silver needles were all inserted into the old man's body, streams of black blood slowly oozed out down the needle.

This process required careful handling because the slightest carelessness might result in a risk of excessive blood loss.

However, just when he was observing the changes in the color of the patient's blood with rapt attention, the judge suddenly shouted, "There's half an hour left before the end of the contest!"

Such an incredible voice sounded especially jarring in the quiet environment. As a result, Lola, who was refining the medicines with undivided attention, got distracted, too.
