Kung Fu Divine Physician

Kung Fu Divine Physician is a long urban novel by Bu Xing Tianxia, a contracted author on Zongheng Chinese Network. It was first serialized on Zongheng Chinese Network on February 7, 2017, and simultaneously serialized on China Mobile's "He Reading" platform. The book runs roughly 4.56 to 5.17 million characters across more than 1,300 chapters, divided into five volumes: "Early Promise," "In Full Bloom," "The Five-Element Needle," "Dragon Soaring the Nine Heavens," and "Supreme Divine Physician." The protagonist, Lu Feng, is an ordinary young man with great ambitions who harbors an unknown mastery of qinggong—and this is only the most basic derivative ability he gains after cultivating inner qi. He repeatedly saves people from danger with his first attempts at acupuncture, and later takes as his master Shang Wende, a leading figure in Chinese medicine and the "Tiger Ghost Physician" among the Twelve Ghost Physicians, learning the inner-qi acupuncture technique of the Five-Element Needle and continually breaking through in medical skill through the Wuxiangsheng practice method. Combining qinggong with parkour lets him dominate the parkour circuit; inner qi assisting acupuncture lets him work miracle after miracle in hospitals, medical competitions, and martial-world showdowns. From intern to grandmaster of Chinese medicine, Lu Feng walks a path of growth that "follows the kingly way and also the domineering way." The story blends Chinese medicine culture, traditional martial arts, and modern urban life, making it a representative long chapter-narrative work of the urban divine physician genre; it was later adapted into an audio drama of the same name on Ximalaya.
