Upon hearing this, Chen Lan looked in the direction of the voice. He didn’t have the currency of this world, mostly Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures used for Cultivation.
If he brought them out, it would definitely cause a great stir in this world, so he still needed to acquire the currency of this world.
He originally planned to engage in business or dicine, which could help him quickly accumulate wealth and settle down.
Little did he expect business to co knocking so soon. A thousand gold coins plus a mansion could allow him to live here for a century before moving on to another place.
After all, immortality would cause considerable trouble if discovered in this world, making it unwelcoming.
He walked straight over, and everyone was gathered around a wooden board with a recruitnt order on it, seeking physicians to cure the illness of the Li Family’s patriarch. Ignoring the gaze of others, Chen Lan tore it down, saying, "I’ll take this."
Upon hearing this, everyone gasped, wondering who this person was. He looked young and handso and had such confidence to accept it.
"Young man, you may not know, but the Li Family patriarch’s illness is untreatable. It’s terminal, and even the best physicians in the city say it is incurable, advising the Li Family to prepare for the worst."
"Now the Li Family is desperately seeking any possible cure. If you fail to heal him, they might give you a hard ti. The Li Family is not to be trifled with."
"I see you’re unfamiliar, you must be from out of town. The Li Family is quite prominent in Luo Huang City, a renowned large family with businesses spanning half the city, having substantial financial and social influence."
Chen Lan smiled faintly, "No worries, could you please tell the location of the Li Family?"
The crowd looked at each other, saying nothing more. What if this person was indeed a Divine Physician? If they delayed the treatnt of the Li Family patriarch, it would indeed be a misfortune.
Soon, soone raised their hand to guide Chen Lan to the Li Family, and Chen Lan nodded in agreent, as the two headed toward the Li Family.
...
The Li Family.
"Father, please rest assured, I’ve searched the entire city for a physician. Those useless people at the Cyan Wood dical Hall couldn’t help you, but I refuse to believe no one can save you."
In a spacious mansion, a white-haired, pale-faced old man lay on the bed, with a middle-aged man and a young, beautiful woman standing nearby.
The old man was nad Li Guangzhi. The middle-aged man was his son, Li Daming, and Li Daming’s daughter was Li Lili.
"Yes, Grandpa, you will surely live to be a hundred," Li Lili said with teary eyes.
Her grandfather treated her the best, and she didn’t want him to leave.
The old man on the bed did not respond to their words, having no strength to speak, and knowing the state of his own health, he realized it was beyond cure.
Thus, he did not bla the physicians but resigned himself to fate.
"Master, Patriarch, Miss, there’s a young man outside claiming to be a physician, saying he can cure the master’s illness. Should we let him in?"
At this mont, a servant rushed in. Li Daming and Li Lili simultaneously turned their heads, catching the keyword — a young physician?
In the whole city, where would you find a young physician? Young physicians were generally unreliable.
Yet now, having sought every available physician, only those from outside the city were left untried, they could only hope for luck.
"Let him in," Li Daming said in a solemn voice.
Regardless of age, as long as he was a physician, it was worth trying.
Before long, Chen Lan entered. Upon seeing the white-haired, robed young and extraordinarily handso Chen Lan, both were astonished.
Especially Li Lili, instantly drawn to Chen Lan’s aura. In her twenty years, it was the first ti she had seen such a handso and charismatically unique young man.
Unbeknownst to her, Chen Lan was an Immortal, his aura naturally distinct from ordinary people.
"How should I address you?" Li Daming inquired calmly.
"Chen Lan," Chen Lan replied, his gaze settling on the old man in bed, perceiving everything at a glance.
Cancer!
It was late-stage stomach cancer. No wonder the physicians of this world claid it was incurable; it was a terminal illness, how could it be cured?
"Well, I’m Li Daming. Many physicians couldn’t identify what illness my father had, I wonder if..."
"Late-stage stomach cancer, a peculiar terminal illness, which I can cure," Chen Lan interrupted, not letting Li Daming continue, directly taking out a Spirit dicine from his Storage Ring, looking at Li Daming: "This is a Divine dicine, an heirloom from my ancestors. Boil it for half an hour and let him drink it, and he will surely recover."
If he had taken out an elixir, it would undoubtedly arouse suspicion, but herbs were different. Herbs were common in this world, all he had to claim was that it was a rare herb.
For such a minor ailnt as stomach cancer, any Spirit dicine could solve it, as Spirit dicines contain Spiritual Power, which can annihilate any virus.
Upon hearing this, Li Daming and Li Lili widened their eyes, dumbfounded.
Could it be true? He just glanced and knew the treatnt?
Didn’t even need to take a pulse?
Even Li Guangzhi on the bed was startled, laboriously lifting his head to look at Chen Lan, using all his strength to speak, "Is what you said true, physician?"
"Of course, believe it or not, you have a hundred breath’s ti to consider. If you refuse, I will leave," Chen Lan replied calmly.
With these words, Li Daming imdiately furrowed his brows. He couldn’t determine whether Chen Lan was telling the truth, but at the mont, only Chen Lan had the audacity to claim he could save his father.
"Daming, let him try. In any case, I’m just a dying man, a desperate situation calls for desperate asures."
"Father," Li Daming urgently responded, how could his father speak of himself this way?
"Lily, take this physician to brew the dication," Li Guangzhi disregarded his son, insisting that his life was his own decision.
"Yes, Grandfather," Li Lili complied, looking at Chen Lan, "Please follow , sir."
Chen Lan nodded, following Li Lili out.
"Father, is that man reliable?" Li Daming asked in confusion, puzzled that his father trusted an outsider physician.
Just one statent from the latter and he agreed.
"Alas, in any case, I am rely a dood man, and I perceive in that person an honesty unlike deceit, full of confidence. Although he said nothing of my illness, he wouldn’t dare deceive so openly. It’s not like he could poison the herbs."
"Already near death, who would still seek to harm ?"
Li Guangzhi’s words enlightened Li Daming.
Indeed, his father’s ailnt had beco known citywide, with countless enemies awaiting his demise, well aware of the inevitability of his death, why would anyone resort to poisoning him, when a natural death would be so much simpler?
Furthermore, being at death’s door, they must grasp any opportunity that presents itself.
"Hopefully, that man truly can save Father," thought Li Daming.
anwhile, Li Lili, as they headed to the kitchen, asked Chen Lan.
"Sir, are you really confident in saving my grandfather?"
Chen Lan replied calmly, "Of course, without confidence, I wouldn’t be here. But I also hope the Li Family will honor the promise of a thousand gold coins and a mansion."
