The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 321
Episode 321 Princess receiving Chuna (1)
Chuna (推拿).
This is a word you often hear when you go to an oriental medicine clinic when you have a car accident, have a bad back, neck, pelvis, etc. or have a herniated disc.
In fact, the history of Chuna therapy is much longer than you might think.
‘The first officially discovered historical records were probably from the Ming Dynasty?’
I think it was like that from memory. Was the word Chuna used in ‘So-Achu Nabiji (小兒推拿秘旨)’ written by a person named Gong Yun-rim (龔雲林) of the Ming Dynasty? After that, it also appeared in the Essentials of the True Bone Mind Law of ‘Uijong Geumgam’ written by Oh Gyeom during the reign of Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty.
‘Well, anyway…’
The director’s office in the middle of the night with no one around. Damian was also intentionally sent out into the hallway. Alone, Rakiel looked at the message floating in front of her.
〈List of unlockable skills〉
[1. Moxibustion]
[2. Medicinal substance identification]
[3. Medicine Casting]
[4. Chuna Technique]
[Select the skill you want to unlock from the list.]
“….”
If you think about it, you’ve secretly unlocked a lot of skills so far. It was the first time I opened a pulse, and even acupuncture, cupping, dispensing decoctions, billing for medical expenses, and drug identification. Thanks to this, we were able to efficiently treat the numerous patients we had received so far.
It will be the same this time too.
No, it has to be that way.
‘If this continues, the princess’s shoulder will be completely damaged.’
Suddenly, I remembered the condition of Princess Adeline’s shoulder that I had examined earlier. It was already a pretty serious situation. Just looking at it, it wasn’t just one or two dislocations. In particular, considerable damage was seen to the anteroinferior labrum, a ring-shaped fibrous tissue surrounding the front and bottom of the shoulder joint.
No, in fact, saying that it is quite good may be too optimistic. Because the signs of rupture are already evident and the shoulder joint is shaking.
‘What if I leave it as is and the labrum is completely ruptured? From then on, it will interfere with your daily life. This is because the labrum that supports the lower part of the humerus joint has collapsed. To put it to the extreme, the moment you move incorrectly, the joint may slip off due to gravity.’
If that happens, it will be almost impossible to return to normal. This means you will have a lifelong disability. For a princess who had trained in fighting all her life, such a situation would be tantamount to a death sentence.
That’s not good.
This is especially true considering that the princess is a representative figure of the pro-Magentano Empire faction within Amboise. If possible, it is to our benefit if she remains healthy and intact to succeed to the throne of Amboise.
‘Whew. Then let’s do it.’
Rakiel took a deep breath.
And I chose.
‘My choice is No. 4 Chuna Technique.’
[List No. 4. You have chosen the Chuna method.]
[Skill opening (4th time) Cost: 14000 HP]
[14000 HP has been consumed.]
[Currently possessed HP: 7700]
“….”
Oh my, this is the HP I’ve been hoarding so much. .
When I saw Sunpeng’s HP being lost before my eyes, I felt a surge of indignation(?). But I can’t help it. Now, there was something more important than the lost HP.
‘Now let’s see the performance.’
Rakiel waited for the skill unlock results to come to mind.
Ding dong!
[You have possessed the knowledge and skills of Chuna therapy since Korea.]
[However, Chuna therapy is a technique that requires the practitioner’s stamina and strength, so there are clear limitations in implementing it with Raquiel Adria Magentano’s weak body. There was.]
“….”
Aha.
So, when I first came here, there was no Chuna technique in the list of unlockable skills.
[But now the situation has changed.]
[In the meantime, you have achieved improvement in your constitution through constant rejuvenation, nourishment, tonic, and vitality enhancement. In addition, you have also acquired a permanent buff that increases your physical ability at night through Asurahan’s Heart and Vampire Lord’s Blood.]
[This series of changes has had a great positive impact on your acquisition of Chuna Technique.]
[Skill ‘Chunay Technique (Lv. 1)’ is opened.]
[Skill Name: Chuna Technique Lv. 1]
[It treats structural and functional problems by applying appropriate force to the patient’s body to relieve torsion of the joints, stiffness of the fascia, etc. This skill supports various types of Chuna courses tailored to the patient’s condition.]
‘Huh?’
Rachiel’s eyes widened.
Tailored to the patient’s condition?
‘Isn’t this a bit unexpected?’
I just hoped that it would slightly improve the effect of Chuna therapy. Through this, they attempted to prevent the fundamental cause of shoulder dislocation by balancing the princess’s distorted pelvis and body.
But what if a customized course is provided?
His eyes quickly scanned the following message.
[Chuna Course Information]
[1. Basic mode – The power consumed in Chuna therapy is saved by 20%.]
[2. Relax mode – induces a good sleep through gentle relaxation.]
[3. Crump! Mode – Crunchy! By activating the ‘High Velocity Low Amplitude’ (HVLA) technique that produces a cool sound, it provides a refreshing sensation and improves the body correction effect by 30%.] [
4. Special Collaboration Mode – Combines the characteristics of Asurahan Heart Method and Vampire Lord Jeonghyeol into Chuna Technique. The mana release function of Asurahan’s mind technique and the vampire’s unique absorption ability alternately provide appropriate mana stimulation to the patient’s body like the ebb and flow of the body. Through this, the patient’s self-healing ability is maximized. This will be of great help in conservative treatment and recovery, especially in damaged cartilage areas. (Caution) This mode can only be used at night, and the caster’s stamina will be completely depleted after using the mode.]
“Uh…”
Rachiel’s mouth opened wide.
It’s crazy.
This is real.
‘…oh my god.’
He looked at the Chuna course guide repeatedly, feeling rewarded for pouring in 14,000 HP. In particular, the more I looked at the content of the last course, ‘Special Collaboration Mode’, the more I became convinced that I was crazy.
‘If you do Chuna therapy… mana flows in and out of the patient’s body like an ebb and flow, increasing self-healing ability? This promotes recovery of damaged cartilage areas? really?’
nonsense.
That’s how it is originally.
This is because cartilage is an area that does not recover easily.
‘That’s why cartilage surgery is often put off until the last minute unless it’s really necessary. If you do the surgery wrong, you could end up living with pain and discomfort for the rest of your life.’
That was indeed the case.
Surgery on the cartilage area must be decided carefully.
This is especially true for surgeries such as disc surgery or triangular fibrocartilage surgery of the wrist. An acquaintance I knew in Korea had a similar case. Was it Baek Kyung, a web novel writer who was a friend of an acquaintance? The story that came to mind was that he had injured the triangular fibrocartilage in his wrist and was contemplating surgery, but gave up.
‘They said that although they suffered for quite a long time, they used conservative treatment instead of surgery. Thanks to this, I recovered well without any aftereffects.’
Of course, there are cases where surgery is recommended. A representative example is the habitual shoulder dislocation suffered by the princess.
‘So I was worried.’
This side can provide conservative treatment. But what about shoulder joint surgery? can not do it. That is impossible even for Sir Gardin. Because there is no help from modern equipment.
So, I was giving up on surgery. We tried to use Chuna therapy while helping the shoulder recover with as much conservative treatment as possible. We attempted to correct the fundamental cause of dislocation by correcting the imbalanced body balance.
That would be enough. It may not be possible to fight intensely, but you will be able to handle everyday life. It’s a pity, but I thought that was the greatest treatment outcome the princess could hope for.
But…
‘If I do this, the story will be different?’
Perhaps a complete cure may be possible without surgery. Daily life is normal, and you may even be able to handle intense fighting and training like before.
‘Then check it right away.’
This is not the time to postpone. Moreover, they say that the special collaboration mode can only be used at night, so you shouldn’t put it off even more.
Rachiel called Damian outside the director’s office.
“Did you call me, Your Highness?”
“uh. “I called you and the princess will also call you.”
“…yes?”
“Please pass this on to the night nurse. “Please bring the princess of Amboise to the director’s office right away.”
“In the middle of the night like this?”
“huh. “Because it’s the middle of the night.”
“I guess you’re sleeping?”
“Just wake me up.”
What’s the problem?
He returned the shameless look.
Thanks, Damian thought.
Oh, and our crown prince is trying to do something strange(?) that ends up being good in the end.
“…All right.”
This kind of eccentricity has already happened several times. He relayed the crown prince’s order to the nurse, and 10 minutes later, he saw the princess entering the director’s office with sleepy eyes.
“…What’s going on at this time of night? “I was just barely falling asleep after keeping my eyes open because of my shoulder.”
“I called you because of the princess’s shoulder.”
Rakiel grinned.
The princess asked back.
“Because of your shoulder? “Can you really get treatment at this time?”
“yes. There is a treatment available only during this time. “Let’s lie down first.”
“…yes?”
Adeline tilted her head.
“I told you earlier, right? Chuna method.”
“Ah yes.”
“I’m going to do that every night from now on. “Now this way.”
“….”
It was very natural guidance. She suddenly lay down on the treatment bed that Rakiel pointed to. Only then did a question come to mind.
‘Why do I have to do this only at night?’
It was strange.
Because people shouldn’t see it? Or is there some more bizarre reason? Otherwise…
‘No way.’
Her heart beat a little involuntarily. The crown prince’s hand reached out.
“Relax. “It doesn’t hurt, so relax, princess.”
The crown prince’s hand gently touches the head and nape of the neck. Unlike his own hands, which had been trained in fighting, they were soft. How soft are those thin fingers. And how ticklish the feeling of lightly caressing the back of your neck is.
‘Is this the right treatment?’
I had a doubt.
I also felt strange.
It was my first time feeling like this.
It was then.
“Then shall we begin?”
The crown prince’s meaningful voice reached my ears. Without realizing it, the anticipation in my heart began to rise. At that moment, the crown prince’s hand, holding the head and nape of the neck, moved quickly. And he turned it around mercilessly, like twisting the head of a wild chicken.
Wow!
“…!”
A powerful, destructive sound that would have made even action star Steven Seagal of the past a standing ovation resonated refreshingly from her third cervical vertebra.
