Chinese Medicine: Starting with Daily Intelligence

Chapter 663: Chapter 663: Observing

After drinking the medicine, Elder Li looked at the Dendrobium flowers Li Xu had brought with some regret. "I was hoping to try some, but it looks like that’s not happening today. With this toothache, eating them now would be a terrible waste."

But Li Xu smiled. "Don’t worry, Elder Li. The medicine works quickly. The pain should be gone in a little while, so it won’t get in the way of dinner."

"Really?" Elder Li’s eyes lit up. "Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go to the kitchen. I’ll show you my skills today with some ’Scrambled Eggs with Dendrobium Flowers’ and ’Stewed Pork with Dendrobium Flowers’."

Sure enough, in less than an hour, the medicine’s cool potency seeped into his gums. Elder Li felt the fiery, swollen pain in his gums had actually mostly disappeared.

In high spirits, Elder Li geared up and headed into the kitchen.

The Dendrobium flowers, picked from Huoshan and dried at a low temperature, had retained their original golden hue and delicate fragrance.

Elder Li first took a portion of the dried flowers and soaked them in warm water.

As the water nourished them, the once-curled flowers seemed to awaken from a deep slumber, slowly unfurling. Petal by petal, they opened up like golden butterflies dancing gracefully in the water.

A fresh, orchid-like aroma instantly filled the entire kitchen.

"It smells amazing."

Ding Kaifang couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

Elder Li removed the rehydrated Dendrobium flowers and drained the water.

Then, he cracked a few free-range eggs into a bowl, added salt, and beat them. He then poured the Dendrobium flowers into the egg mixture and stirred gently.

The golden egg wash coated the golden flowers, creating an enticing color.

He heated oil in a wok.

When the oil was heated to medium, Elder Li poured the egg mixture into the wok.

"SZZZLE—"

The egg mixture puffed up instantly, its fragrance exploding outwards.

Elder Li stir-fried it quickly, ensuring the egg coated the flowers. He had to cook the egg through while keeping the flowers tender and intact.

In just a few dozen seconds, a plate of golden-hued, fragrant Scrambled Eggs with Dendrobium Flowers was ready.

Next, he made a dish of Stewed Lean Pork with Dendrobium Flowers.

He selected high-quality pork shank, cut it into small pieces, and blanched it to remove any gaminess.

He then placed it in a stewing pot, adding the rehydrated Dendrobium flowers, a few red dates, and a slice of ginger. He poured in fresh spring water and slow-cooked it in a water bath.

An hour later, he lifted the lid.

The broth was crystal clear, without a trace of grease.

The fragrance of the Dendrobium flowers had completely infused into the broth, blending perfectly with the aroma of the meat.

"Here, try some!"

Elder Li had the housekeeper serve everyone a bowl of soup and place a helping of the scrambled eggs on their plates.

Li Xu took a bite of the scrambled eggs.

The egg was smooth and tender, and the Dendrobium flowers were crisp yet delicate. As he chewed, the fresh fragrance of the flowers burst in his mouth, carrying a hint of sweetness that left a lasting aftertaste.

Then he took a sip of the soup.

The broth was refreshingly sweet, soothing his throat and making his mouth water. It was like a clear spring flowing through his heart, washing away all the heat.

"Delicious. This is truly delicious."

Ding Kaifang was full of praise. "These Dendrobium flowers are an absolute stroke of genius."

...

A new issue of *Urban Life* magazine was officially published.

As Feng City’s largest local lifestyle magazine by circulation, its influence, combined with simultaneous posts on its Official Account, was not to be underestimated.

The previous exclusive reports on Li Xu, in particular, had amassed a large number of die-hard fans.

This time, the article written by Lin Xiaoyu was given a prominent position.

The moment the article was published, it immediately caught the readers’ attention.

"Tooth regeneration? For real?"

"That’s ridiculous, isn’t it? Magazines will write anything to grab attention these days."

"Exactly. Scientists haven’t even figured this out, but Chinese medicine can? I think it’s just a gimmick."

The comment section was flooded with skepticism.

People were instinctively skeptical of news that defied common sense.

After all, there was too much clickbait these days. Magazines like *Zhiyin* and *Storytelling Association* had published plenty of far-fetched stories in the past, so everyone had long since become immune.

However, because the article explicitly mentioned that the formula was developed by Dr. Li Xu, the situation became different.

"Li Xu? The Divine Physician?"

"If it’s Dr. Li, then you never know... He’s a man who has performed many miracles."

"Yeah, I didn’t believe in that hangover-cure tea last time either, but I bought it and ended up eating my words. It was amazing."

The buzz among the fans grew hotter, and the article was quickly shared across major social media platforms and forums, attracting even wider attention.

Even some mainstream, authoritative media outlets took notice of the topic.

「Capital City. The editorial department of the *News Press*.」

Senior reporter Li Yang stared at the article on her computer screen, her brow slightly furrowed.

She had interviewed Li Xu before and had a deep impression of him as a rigorous, pragmatic, and highly skilled young doctor.

’Tooth regeneration... If this is true, it would be an earthquake in the medical world.’

Li Yang mulled it over for a moment, then picked up her phone and dialed Li Xu’s number.

"Hello, Dr. Li. This is Li Yang from the *News Press*. It’s been a while."

"Reporter Li, hello."

"Dr. Li, I saw a report about you developing the ’Tooth Regeneration Formula’ to regrow teeth. I wanted to confirm with you, is this true?"

Li Yang got straight to the point, her tone serious.

"It’s true."

Li Xu admitted it directly without any hesitation. "The principle is to use a special combination of Chinese herbs to activate the potential within the alveolar bone and stimulate the regeneration of the tooth germ. We already have successful cases."

Li Yang sucked in a sharp breath.

She confirmed again, "Dr. Li, do you know what this means? If you are certain, the *News Press* will follow up with a report. We are a national, authoritative media outlet. Once we publish it, it’s set in stone. If it’s false, or exaggerated, the consequences would be unimaginable. Your reputation could be..."

’What’s done can’t be undone!’

Li Xu smiled, full of confidence. "Reporter Li, go ahead and publish it. I take responsibility for my medical skills, and I take responsibility for the facts. True gold fears no fire."

"Okay, with your assurance, I can rest easy!"

Li Yang’s confidence surged.

The next day, the *News Press* published an in-depth report in its health section: "Can Chinese Medicine Create a Regenerative Miracle? A Conversation with Li Xu, Developer of the ’Tooth Regeneration Formula’."

The moment this article was released, it was like a depth charge, completely detonating the field of public opinion.

It wasn’t just ordinary netizens; many medical professionals and dental experts also weighed in.

"Absurd. It’s completely anti-science."

"Tooth regeneration involves complex genetic regulation and stem cell differentiation. How could that possibly be achieved by drinking herbal medicine?"

"It’s definitely a misdiagnosis, or a case of retained baby teeth!"

A tidal wave of doubt swept in.

Even his professor, Gao Guanghui, and Professor Wang Tao personally called to inquire.

"Li Xu, growing teeth by drinking herbal medicine sounds too incredible. Be straight with me, is it real or just a gimmick?"

Gao Guanghui’s tone was worried.

Li Xu told him the truth. "Professor, it’s definitely real. I already have imaging evidence, and I’m conducting further experiments. Please believe me. The potential of Chinese medicine is far beyond what we can imagine."

Although Gao Guanghui still found it incredible, based on his knowledge of Li Xu’s character, he could only choose to wait and see, half-believing and half-doubting.
