Chapter 48: Chapter 48 Divine Doctor’s Holy Hand
Soon, half an hour had passed. Yang Qi withdrew the needles and handed them to Liu Changsheng.
At that mont, Lei Qingtian exhaled a long, turbid breath and opened his eyes. His previously ashen complexion gradually beca rosy.
"Grandfather, you’re awake! That’s wonderful, that’s so wonderful!" Lei Yingying threw herself onto Lei Qingtian’s body and began to cry.
"He really woke up!" The doctor in the white coat took off his glasses, furiously wiped them on his coat, and put them back on. It was true. Lei Qingtian was truly awake, sitting there full of life and showing no sign of being at death’s door. This... Could this be a dical miracle? He couldn’t believe it.
Every instrunt had indicated that Lei Qingtian’s life was fading. He was being kept alive only by dication and had, at most, three days left to live. But now, the man had been revived. Moreover, he looked incredibly healthy. He didn’t even need the respirator anymore, and his complexion was rosy. To the doctor, this was nothing short of a myth.
"What happened to ?" Lei Qingtian asked, still completely baffled.
"Grandfather, you nearly died! Fortunately, Mr. Yang saved your life! You must thank him properly!" Lei Yingying said, pointing at Yang Qi.
"You! Why are you here?" Lei Qingtian was stunned. "How could this charlatan possibly have the ability to save ? Yingying, you must be mistaken. Wasn’t it Master Liu who saved ?" He had probably seen the Silver Needles in Liu Changsheng’s hand.
Liu Changsheng gave a wry smile. "Prefecture Master Lei, please don’t say such things. The single needle I used nearly cost you your life. It was this young man—no, this Master—who pulled you back from the Ghost Gate."
Lei Qingtian stared at Yang Qi, finding the situation hard to accept. He had always looked down on Yang Qi, considering him a fraud, a charlatan. With his vast experience, he had always trusted his judgnt of people to be accurate. But this ti... could he have been wrong?
"Yang... young man. You saved . How much do you require for paynt? I’ll have my family give it to you!"
He wanted to say "thank you," but in the end, he couldn’t bring himself to utter the words. He had been so distrustful of Yang Qi before, even calling him a charlatan. He simply couldn’t open his mouth to thank him now; it felt like he was being slapped in the face. His pride wouldn’t allow it.
"Heh, since Prefecture Master Lei brought up paynt," Yang Qi said with a smile, "I won’t ask for much. Let’s start with one hundred million! This treatnt is just the beginning. I still need to go back and refine an Elixir for you to take internally. Combined with my acupuncture, we’ll be done after three treatnts. The total will be three hundred million. That’s not a bad price to save your life, is it?"
He hadn’t originally planned to ask for money, since this was a favor for Lin Qingxuan. But Lei Qingtian’s attitude genuinely annoyed him. So, not only would he demand paynt, but he certainly wouldn’t ask for a small sum. Since the man thought he was only in it for the money, then money it would be.
"You—!" Lei Qingtian was on the verge of exploding with anger. But rembering that this man had, after all, saved his life, he took a deep breath and said, "Yingying, give him the money!"
The Lei Family was imnsely wealthy and influential; one hundred million was nothing to them. Soon, the money was transferred to Yang Qi.
He smiled. "Rember, the Elixir will be ready in a day. Co pick it up the day after tomorrow, and I’ll perform another acupuncture session for him then. Bring your own Silver Needles; I don’t have any."
"Mr. Yang, can’t you co to the Provincial City? My grandfather is a patient, after all," Lei Yingying said, a hint of displeasure in her voice. Countless people, enough to form a line from the south of Dragon Country to the north, would jump at the chance to curry favor with the Lei Family by treating her grandfather. She had never t soone so arrogant. To think he would require them to co to him! How conceited!
"I’m very busy and don’t have the ti, so you can figure it out yourselves. I’ve given him a chance to live. If that’s too much trouble for you, then forget it. Qingxuan, let’s go!" After saying his piece, Yang Qi turned and walked away.
Lin Qingxuan glanced at Lei Qingtian. "Uncle Lei, you can’t judge a book by its cover. It’s ti you updated your way of thinking. I told you he was remarkable!" With that, she also left.
Liu Changsheng hurried out after them. "Master, please wait!" He caught up to Yang Qi and bowed deeply. "Having witnessed the Master’s thods today, I feel utterly ashad of my own abilities and am filled with admiration! If I can be of service in the future, please do not hesitate to ask. I will certainly do my best!"
"I’ll keep that in mind," Yang Qi said with a nod.
With that, Yang Qi got into the car, and Lin Qingxuan gracefully slipped into the driver’s seat. The sports car sped away.
Following in another car, Zhong Qiang’s eyes were filled with pure worship. If being defeated by Yang Qi had earned his respect, this latest feat had truly made the man his idol. It was miraculous. A patient no one else could cure, yet Yang Qi had handled it in a flash. Absolutely incredible.
When Liu Changsheng returned to the hospital room, Lei Qingtian eagerly asked, "Master Liu, what is your assessnt of that young man?"
"I wouldn’t dare to speak carelessly. He is a true Master!" Liu Changsheng said. "Prefecture Master Lei, to et such a distinguished individual is a great fortune. Forgive my bluntness, but if not for Miss Lin, I fear this Master would have been unwilling to help you. You should reflect on your actions. I shall take my leave now."
After Liu Changsheng left, Lei Qingtian lay on the hospital bed, his face flushing with sha as he thought about his previous attitude toward Yang Qi. However, his high status made it difficult for him to lower himself.
Sigh... it seems I’ll have to learn to be more courteous to those with real talent. Lei Qingtian sighed deeply.
"Grandfather, you’re not actually going to let him continue the treatnt, are you? That guy seems to only care about money," Lei Yingying said.
"I’ve spoiled you too much, child. He is my savior, after all." Lei Qingtian’s mindset had started to shift; he was no longer so stubborn. His impression of Yang Qi had undergone a dramatic transformation, especially after hearing Liu Changsheng’s words. Only then did he truly realize how formidable Yang Qi was. A person like that must never be offended.
"Yingying, it’s not convenient for
to move about. Could you ask Miss Lin what kind of gifts Master Yang likes? Buy so and send them over. This is separate from the treatnt fee," Lei Qingtian said after so thought.
"Alright, Grandfather," Lei Yingying replied. Although she still felt Yang Qi was far too arrogant, she was willing to humble herself for her grandfather’s sake.
That very day, Lei Yingying purchased so top-quality dicinal herbs and an antique and had them delivered to Yang Qi.
"How considerate of you," Yang Qi remarked, examining the gifts. The dicinal herbs were all fine specins, and the antique was clearly an exceptional treasure. The Spiritual Energy contained within it was dense. It might even be enough to help him break through to the fourth level of the Qi Refining Stage and further advance his power.
"I’m glad you like them, Master Yang." Lei Yingying suddenly realized this man wasn’t so difficult to deal with. If you treated him well, he treated you well in return.
"Alright. Co pick
up here tomorrow, and I’ll go treat your grandfather," Yang Qi stated calmly. A single friendly gesture was enough to change his attitude; he wasn’t an unreasonable person after all.
"Thank you, Master Yang!" Lei Yingying said with a martial arts salute.
"Judging by that gesture, you’ve practiced martial arts, haven’t you?" Yang Qi said, shaking his head. "You have exceptional talent. It’s just a pity... a real pity you chose the wrong master."
