Except for his head, Thomson's entire body was completely immersed in the medicinal liquid!
The white mist enveloped him completely!
The mist was filled with the components of the medicine, seeping into Mr. Thomson's skin and every cell in it, bit by bit!
"Okay. After soaking for a while, we can proceed with the acupuncture." Gao Jianfei smiled with satisfaction. He felt a sense of relief and ease.
Two minutes later...
"Aha! Mr. Thomson wasn't burned to death! No! Hahaha! Amazing!" The American official, mustering his courage, went over to take a look... Mr. Thomson, in the scalding hot liquid, looked completely at ease, and his breathing was still very smooth!
"What? What... what does this mean? In such a hot liquid, he didn't... didn't die from being scalded?" The doctors below the stage all stood on tiptoe to watch!
"Ladies and gentlemen, everything's alright! Our Mr. Thomson is perfectly fine! Haha! This is getting more and more interesting!" The host stirred up the emotions of the viewers in front of their televisions. "What will happen next?"
Gao Jianfei observed Mr. Thomson's situation calmly.
The first step was that the medicine prepared by Gao Jianfei had already seeped into Mr. Thomson's internal organs, repairing the various organs of his body that had been injured by the Heart-Severing Palm technique!
The first step is to treat the Heart-Severing Palm Technique, not to dispel the toxins!
Then, Mr. Thomson's jade-white skin began to turn red!
red!
Twenty minutes later, Mr. Thomson was as red as a shrimp!
"What... what's going on?" Zuo Qing and the American officials all came over and inquired.
Meanwhile, the doctors in the audience were rubbing their eyes repeatedly, their eyes fixed on Mr. Thomson's every change!
This was a treatment gamble with his life on it. The burden was suffocating!
Ten minutes later, the strange red color on Mr. Thomson's body began to fade!
Gao Jianfei directly pulled out a packet of silver needles from his pocket!
He swiftly took several silver needles and, with practiced, lightning-fast movements, inserted them directly into several acupoints on Mr. Thomson's chest!
The technique, depth, and timing of his acupuncture were simply exquisite!
"Uh...this...this...this acupuncture technique...this..." The doctor Tang Zude in the audience had his eyes bulging like bull's balls!
Tang Zude is a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine, and his family has practiced it for generations. Naturally, he could discern certain things from Gao Jianfei's acupuncture technique.
“This…this acupuncture technique is more skilled than, more accurate than, my grandfather’s…Could it be…could it be…” Cold sweat poured down Tang Zude’s forehead.
The scene has quieted down.
Extreme silence!
Within a minute, Gao Jianfei quickly inserted 15 silver needles into 15 acupoints on Mr. Thomson's body!
Accurate! Fast! Skillful!
It's as if he has transformed acupuncture into an art form!
"Oh! Viewers at home, did you see that? That's acupuncture from country Z! My God! It's amazing! In the blink of an eye, 1, 2, 3... 15 silver needles are inserted! It's incredible! Is this magic?"
The television presenters were so excited that their hands trembled as they held the microphones.
All the cameras were pointed at Gao Jianfei, at the bathtub, and at Thomson in the bathtub!
Because the temperature of the medicine in the bathtub had dropped, there was no more white steam. Everyone could clearly see Gao Jianfei's every move and Mr. Thomson's reaction.
"Sir, what should we do next?" The American official in charge was already 60% convinced of Gao Jianfei's abilities!
Boiling water won't kill you; amazing acupuncture techniques!
Gao Jianfei has earned some respect through his own abilities!
"Please let us know what you need us to do." The American official in charge had already begun to use polite language when addressing Gao Jianfei!
Mayor Zuo also looked directly at Gao Jianfei with a burning gaze!
“What we have to do now is wait… wait for Mr. Thomson to open his eyes and say good evening to us!” Gao Jianfei smiled, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, lit one, and started smoking.
It has to be said that Gao Jianfei's smoking posture was very cool.
The doctors in the audience could only stare helplessly!
They never expected things to develop to this extent!
After finishing a cigarette, Gao Jianfei's pupils suddenly contracted! His gaze swept across the room!
In the bathtub, the milky white medicine began to turn a darker shade, like ink!
These black spots are seeping out from Mr. Thomson's pores and blood vessels!
Detoxification! Acupuncture detoxification is already showing results!
"Oh my God, what's going on? It's black? How come there are... huge patches of black liquid in the bathtub?" The American official in charge had excellent observation skills and immediately noticed the problem!
"Black? Whoa!" The doctors in the audience stood on tiptoe, trying to figure out what was going on, but they couldn't look into the bathtub!
The TV presenters, however, demanded that all of this be filmed up close!
Their representatives then negotiated with U.S. "government" officials. After obtaining Gao Jianfei's consent, the official in charge allowed the television stations to conduct close-up filming!
Soon, a group of guys carrying microphones and cameras rushed to the bathtub.
"Ladies and gentlemen, look! Black! Black liquid! Can you see it clearly? Black liquid is rising in the milky white liquid. Hmm, and there's a foul smell!" A beautiful host twitched her nostrils and exclaimed, "Yes, there's a slight foul smell!"
She held the microphone up to Gao Jianfei, "Excuse me, sir, could you explain to our American television viewers the principle behind this black liquid?"
Gao Jianfei smiled reservedly at the camera and said in extremely broken English, "Detoxification. If you'd like, you can interpret this phenomenon as detoxification."
"Oh! Incredible, detox! Hmm, this is so interesting! Uh... the black liquid is increasing! It's almost defeating the white liquid!" the beautiful host exclaimed again.
“Yes, as you can see, Mr. Thomson will open his eyes and greet you when the black liquid covers the bathtub,” Gao Jianfei said with a smile.
"It's amazing! It's unbelievable! Is everything you're saying true? Our respected, lovely Mr. Thomson, who has been in a coma for half a month, will wake up? Will he really wake up?" The beautiful host leaned close to Gao Jianfei, her emotions running high. She was very excited.
Her breasts were ample, two sizes larger than any Chinese woman Gao Jianfei had ever seen before. Gao Jianfei smiled. "Miss, you're quite nice."
“Uh…” The beautiful host was stunned for a moment.
"Wow! The black liquid is increasing! Increasing! The white liquid only occupies a third of the bathtub! And it's decreasing!" some hosts shouted frantically. "Viewers, let's wait and see!"
The doctors in the audience were frozen in place, not daring to move an inch.
Ten minutes have passed again!
Those 10 minutes were so tense they were almost suffocating!
Suddenly, Gao Jianfei snapped his fingers and shouted, "Everyone, time's almost up! Let's start the countdown! Let's count down together!"
“10…9…8…7…” Gao Jianfei called out.
Soon, the TV hosts, print journalists, American officials, and even Zuo Qing all started counting along with Gao Jianfei… “6…5…4…”
Later, some of the doctors in the audience, influenced by the atmosphere, also joined in... "3...2...1..."
When the count reached 1, everyone held their breath!
Hundreds of eyes at the scene, and tens of millions of eyes watching on American television, were all focused on Thomson!
Time seemed to stand still at this moment!
Surprisingly!
Thomson's eyelashes blinked!
Two!
Three times!
...
"Damn it! Get a close-up! Quick!" a quick-thinking female host shouted to the cameraman behind her, "Give Mr. Thomson a close-up! Quick! Damn it, our ratings are going to hit a new high! Thank God!"
suddenly!
Mr. Thomson, whose eyes had been closed for half a month, suddenly opened them!
Yes, his eyes opened!
"Hiss!" Everyone in the audience, except for Gao Jianfei, gasped in shock!
"Uh..." Thomson's lips moved a few times, and then he slowly began to utter a sentence... "I don't really like outdoor bathing... Good evening, everyone... Hehe, I think I've found a good doctor!"
“Mr. Thomson! Thank God! Thank God!” The American official rushed forward and grasped Mr. Thomson’s hand. “Oh, thank this mysterious country! Thank him! The amazing Easterner!”
"Oh my God! Dear viewers, what have you just witnessed? It's a miracle! A miracle has befallen our lovely Mr. Thomson!" the hosts shouted at the top of their lungs!
"My God, miracle doctor! You've accomplished something that no one else in the world could possibly do! My God!" Zuo Qing rushed forward, grabbed Gao Jianfei, and whispered, "Miracle doctor, you scared me to death! Thank God!"
The doctors in the audience stiffly turned their necks, looking at each other... two thoughts were running through their minds...
1. This young man's medical skills are amazing! Who exactly is he?
2. Oh no, we've lost our lives to him! We're doomed!
"Dear Mr. Thomson, do you have anything to say to our viewers at home?" The hosts handed microphones to Mr. Thomson one after another.
Thomson laughed. "Could I have a towel first?"
"Hahahaha!" Some people burst into laughter.
"Good evening, everyone. To those who care about me, to those who love me, and to those I love—my children, my wife—I'm alright!" Thomson said earnestly. Then, he looked at Gao Jianfei, gave him a thumbs up, and said, "Thank you, lovely Oriental!"
So, several microphones were handed directly to Gao Jianfei. "Wonderful Easterner, could you say a few words to our American audience?"
Gao Jianfei smiled reservedly, then, in a low voice, speaking in his not-so-fluent English, almost word by word, he said, "Our...Chinese...medical skills are...very...miraculous!"

Chapter 267 The First Clash with Uncle Yao!
Perhaps, for those Americans; or for the hundreds of doctors in the audience who were stunned; or even for Thomson himself, this treatment could be described as a miracle!
However, for Gao Jianfei himself, the treatment of these internal and poison injuries was nothing.
After all, Hu Qingnian's novel, *The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber*, is specifically about healing martial arts characters. He's treated countless palm injuries—heart-severing palms, cinnabar palms, iron sand palms, poison palms, soft palms… He's treated at least 800 of these kinds of injuries in his entire life, if not 1000. How could a mere Thomson's internal and poisonous injuries possibly be a problem for Gao Jianfei, Hu Qingniu's successor?
After a series of interviews, Gao Jianfei generously forgave the hundreds of doctors who had risked their lives with him.
Gao Jianfei smiled warmly, "In modern society, what kind of logic is there in gambling with your life? Just now, it was just everyone trying to save face. You can take the talk of gambling with your life as a joke. I won't take your lives. I'm a doctor, not a monster or a murderer, haha!"
