Chapter 347: Chapter 347: Go Interview Him

In her excitement, Li Yang hadn’t looked up any information on Li Xu.

"Chief Editor, the author of the paper is named Li Xu. Right now, I only know that he developed the Lianhua Suanzaoren Granules. I’ll need to do more research for any other information."

The chief editor immediately ordered, "Go look him up now, then go interview him."

"Got it."

Li Yang accepted the assignment and returned to her workstation. She immediately turned on her computer and typed "Li Xu" into the search engine.

She hoped to find more information about this new star in the medical world.

Soon, numerous links populated the search results.

Besides the official press release from *Lancet* and some reprinted reports, she also noticed a local media outlet called *Wind City Urban Life* that, to her surprise, had published multiple in-depth interviews with Li Xu.

This was unexpected. Normally, a scholar who could publish a paper in a top international journal would have their main news coverage concentrated in national or even international media.

Li Yang clicked open the *Urban Life* feature page, where several articles were bylined by an editor named Lin Xiaoyu. She read them one by one.

One article described in detail how Li Xu was more than just a doctor at a small clinic.

He was also a consultant for the Feng City Guanghe District Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine and even collaborated with the Feng City Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

The article highlighted a case where Li Xu saved a patient at the Feng City Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine who had a pig bone stuck in his throat.

A patient had accidentally swallowed a pig bone, leading to a severe esophageal blockage that left him in critical condition.

When Western medicine was at a loss and surgeons were preparing for a high-risk operation, Li Xu used just a single silver needle to skillfully stimulate an acupuncture point, causing the patient to cough up the bone. The crisis was averted.

Li Yang was dumbfounded as she read.

It sounded like something straight out of a martial arts novel.

She had never imagined that the traditional Chinese art of acupuncture could reach such a miraculous level.

Next, she saw another report titled "Magic at His Fingertips—An Exploration of Li Xu’s Acupuncture and Massage Techniques."

This article focused on Li Xu’s expertise in acupuncture and massage.

Lin Xiaoyu wrote that Li Xu’s needling technique was precise and fast-acting. Many patients who had long suffered from chronic pain would often experience immediate, tangible relief from their symptoms with just a single treatment from him.

His massage therapy, meanwhile, was described by patients as "magic at his fingertips." It not only relieved fatigue but could also treat various musculoskeletal diseases, with effects far exceeding those of a typical massage parlor.

Li Yang herself often felt neck and shoulder pain from long hours at her desk, and she found herself yearning for the "one-needle cure" and "fingertip magic" described in the article.

Reading on, she saw reports about Li Xu’s involvement in drug development.

Besides the Lianhua Suanzaoren Granules she already knew about, the article also mentioned that Li Xu had developed the wildly popular Mao Duddu Eye Drops, as well as the widely acclaimed Dragon Bone Powder and Watermelon Frost.

This left her completely shocked.

She had bought Mao Duddu Eye Drops once before, and they worked very well.

Unfortunately, the manufacturer’s production was limited.

They had sold out long ago.

You couldn’t buy them now even if you had the money.

Dragon Bone Powder and Watermelon Frost were also very popular.

For canker sores, in particular, just three to five applications were enough to heal them completely.

It turned out Li Xu was the figure behind the development of all these medicines.

After Li Yang finished reading these reports, only four words remained in her mind—’a living Divine Physician.’

She had thought Li Xu had only made achievements in a specific field. She never expected him to be such an all-around medical prodigy, a man of superb skill with numerous accomplishments in drug development.

Compared to his paper in *Lancet*, these concrete medical cases and drug development achievements demonstrated Li Xu’s formidable abilities in a more tangible way.

’This is like striking gold!’

In her excitement, Li Yang spun around in her chair.

She realized that an interview with Li Xu wasn’t just about a single paper, but about a Divine Physician who deserved national, and even worldwide, attention.

Li Yang found the contact information for *Wind City Urban Life* magazine and dialed Lin Xiaoyu’s number.

"Hello, am I speaking with Editor Lin Xiaoyu? My name is Li Yang, and I’m a reporter with the National News Press."

Li Yang got straight to the point.

On the other end of the line, Lin Xiaoyu was clearly a bit surprised by the call from the National News Press.

They were a major media outlet, far beyond the league of her local publication.

Lin Xiaoyu responded politely, "Hello, this is Lin Xiaoyu. How may I help you?"

"Editor Lin, I just read your articles about Dr. Li Xu. They’re brilliantly written. I’m currently working on an in-depth report about Dr. Li’s paper in *Lancet*, and I was hoping you could give me some background information on him."

Li Yang stated her purpose directly.

"Oh, you mean Dr. Li Xu? He’s truly a legendary figure."

When speaking of Li Xu, Lin Xiaoyu’s voice was filled with admiration.

"His medical skills are just incredible. He treats illnesses that even Western medicine can’t handle, and his cures are practically instantaneous. Plus, he’s so friendly and down-to-earth, with no airs about him at all. He’s a doctor of both great skill and high moral character."

Lin Xiaoyu praised Li Xu effusively, her words filled with genuine emotion. This made Li Yang even more certain she had contacted the right person.

"Editor Lin, since you know Dr. Li Xu so well, I was wondering if you could help introduce me? I’d like to interview him in person," Li Yang requested sincerely.

"Of course, no problem."

"I was actually planning to do a follow-up report on Dr. Li’s *Lancet* paper myself," Lin Xiaoyu readily agreed. "I can take this opportunity to go with you. That way, you’ll be able to get a more in-depth understanding of him as well."

"Thank you so much, Editor Lin," Li Yang said, overjoyed.

After hanging up, Lin Xiaoyu immediately called Li Xu’s cell phone.

"Dr. Li, this is Lin Xiaoyu."

"Oh, Editor Lin. How have you been?"

Li Xu had a hunch. ’She must have seen my paper and wants to interview me again.’

Sure enough, Lin Xiaoyu said, "Dr. Li, I have some great news. The news of your paper in *Lancet* has caused a sensation nationwide. A reporter from the National News Press, Li Yang, would like to interview you. I’ve already spoken with her, and I wanted to ask when would be a convenient time for you?"

Li Xu didn’t refuse.

’Now is the perfect time for widespread publicity, and an interview with an authoritative media outlet is undoubtedly the best platform for it.’

"That’s fine. Just arrange a time with the reporter and let me know in advance."

"That’s great, Dr. Li! I’ll confirm the time with her and let you know."

Lin Xiaoyu was also very happy.

By interviewing Li Xu, their *Urban Life* magazine could attract more readers.

...

「The next day.」

Li Yang arrived in Feng City, travel-worn.

She met up with Lin Xiaoyu at the high-speed rail station.

As professional peers and young women, the two had plenty to talk about.

They chatted the whole way, and by the end, it felt as though they’d known each other for years.
