Chapter 84: Chapter 84 If it can’t be cured, it’s up to you!
Zhao Xiong also furrowed his brow. He didn’t know about the situation with Lei Qingtian, as Yang Qi had requested secrecy. Seeing how young Yang Qi was, he was naturally skeptical. Moreover, Lin Qingxuan had claid that Yang Qi was a practitioner of National dicine.
National dicine was different from Western dicine. A Western practitioner could be young and highly skilled, but National dicine required years of accumulated experience. Without sufficient ti to build that experience, becoming a skilled practitioner was impossible. Even an outsider like him knew this much.
"Hmph! A beardless boy can’t be trusted with important matters," Qin Shanshui scoffed. "Fortunately, City Lord Zhao invited . Otherwise, this quack might have delayed everything. Miss Lin, you are far too reckless. Did this boy fool you with just a few sweet words?"
"I wasn’t going to say anything, but you people are really asking for a beating," Yang Qi suddenly retorted coldly. "It’s one thing for Qin Tian to be young and ignorant, but for an old fool like you to act the sa is another matter entirely! At your advanced age, your dical skills are still confined to Kang City. Instead of feeling ashad, you have the nerve to stand here and mock others."
"You!" Qin Shanshui flew into a rage, not expecting Yang Qi to dare talk back to him.
"What, am I wrong?" Yang Qi said coldly. "If I reached your age and my dical skills were still limited to a small place like Kang City, I would quit practicing dicine out of sheer embarrassnt!"
"Insolence!" Qin Tian shouted angrily. "Miss Lin, I advise you to get this swindler under control. His past theft of another’s pharmacy is one thing, but now he dares to co to the City Lord Mansion to swindle people! City Lord Zhao, I suggest you have this man dragged away!"
Zhao Xiong frowned. He couldn’t afford to offend Lin Qingxuan.
"City Lord Zhao, if you believe he can treat your daughter, then I will leave right now," Qin Shanshui said, putting on airs. In Kang City, his dical skills were supre, and he had the standing to act this way.
Zhao Xiong frowned again and looked toward Lin Qingxuan.
Yang Qi chuckled coldly. "Fine, I’ll leave!"
After speaking, he pushed the door open and walked out. Lin Qingxuan, Liu Changsheng, and Liu Yu followed him.
"Yang Qi, are you really leaving? There’s no need to get upset over soone like that," Lin Qingxuan said.
"Leave? No," Yang Qi said, shaking his head. "Let’s just sit here and wait. I bet Zhao Xiong will co looking for
in less than half an hour."
In fact, when he entered earlier, he had already observed Zhao Xiong’s daughter’s condition. Her problem wasn’t sothing that could be solved by dical skills. She had been afflicted by an Evil Technique that had imprisoned her soul, which was why she was unconscious. Qin Shanshui might be a good doctor, but how could he possibly cure such an illness? Ultimately, he would just be fumbling around to no avail.
Liu Changsheng was astonished when he heard this, but he believed in Yang Qi because he knew that Yang Qi had healed Lei Qingtian.
Sure enough, in less than half an hour, Zhao Xiong ca running out. Seeing that Yang Qi and the others hadn’t left, he dropped to his knees on the spot. "Miss Lin, I was wrong earlier! I beg you, please ask this gentleman to save my daughter!"
"Let’s go."
Not wanting to waste any more words, Yang Qi walked directly back toward the room.
Inside, Qin Shanshui was sweating profusely from terror. At that mont, Zhao Yuman was trembling and convulsing on the bed, foaming at the mouth as if she could die at any second.
"Qin Shanshui, your dical skills aren’t bad, but you’re still a fool with no dical ethics. Your arrogance is going to get soone killed," Yang Qi said, glancing at him coldly.
"You! What nonsense are you spouting? Are you saying you can cure her?" Qin Shanshui yelled angrily.
"Curing her? What’s so difficult about that?" Yang Qi retorted coldly. "When treating an illness, the most important thing is to prescribe the right redy for the ailnt. Your dicine is wrong for her condition; it will only kill her!"
"Hmph, for soone so young, all you do is boast! The most famous doctors in Kang City have all said she’s beyond saving. Even the doctors in the entire Jingnan Prefecture can’t cure her. Yet you dare make such a wild claim? Truly audacious!"
Although Qin Shanshui hadn’t been able to cure Zhao Yuman, he didn’t believe it was due to a lack of dical skill on his part. Rather, he felt Zhao Yuman’s condition itself was simply too strange.
"Ignorant," Yang Qi said while examining Zhao Yuman’s body. "An ignorant and arrogant fool. I just t soone like you yesterday. How do you think you compare to Chen Guo?"
"Shut up! You have no right to speak Master Chen’s na so casually!" Qin Shanshui retorted. "Master Chen is practically a teacher to . I am in no position to be compared to him."
"Master, you’re too modest," boasted the young man standing beside Qin Tian. "Even though you’re not as skilled as Master Chen, you’re still incredibly impressive."
"What’s your na?" Yang Qi asked.
"My na is Wang Nansheng! What of it? I’m from the Wang Family of the Provincial City!" the young man declared.
"Even Chen Guo wouldn’t dare act so arrogantly before ," Yang Qi said coldly. "Who do you think you are?"
"You! You dare to insult Master Chen? I’ll kill you!" Qin Shanshui was genuinely furious now. This young man was simply too arrogant, holding everyone in contempt.
"Heh. If I can cure this girl, then what will you do?" Yang Qi asked Qin Shanshui with a small smile.
"You can cure her?" Qin Shanshui suddenly burst out laughing. "HAHAHA! If you can cure her, I will withdraw from the field of dicine forever and never practice again!"
"That won’t be necessary," Yang Qi said nonchalantly. "Your dical skills are actually quite good; it would be a sha for you to retire. Instead, simply kneel before
in front of everyone, give
three loud kowtows, and call
’Master.’ Also, give
a dicinal herb that is at least ten years old. How about it?"
"No problem!" Qin Shanshui agreed without a second thought.
What a joke. If even the Divine Doctors of the entire Jingnan Prefecture couldn’t cure her, how could a nobody like Yang Qi possibly succeed? He knew Yang Qi’s background—a pharmaceutical expert who graduated from dical school but had zero clinical experience. How could he possibly cure Zhao Yuman? Ridiculous!
"And what if you fail to cure her?" Qin Shanshui asked coldly.
"Then I am at your disposal," Yang Qi replied calmly.
With that, he took out his silver needle box.
Zhao Xiong quickly pleaded, "Mr. Yang, if you can cure my daughter, I will be indebted to you for life! You can have half of the Zhao Family’s fortune!"
"There’s no need for that." Although Yang Qi needed money, he had his principles.
He took out a pen and paper, wrote down a list of dicinal herbs, and handed it to Zhao Xiong. "Go and prepare these. Rember, the better the quality, the more effective it will be, but there’s no need to be excessively particular. Try to gather everything within half an hour."
"Let
see!" Qin Shanshui snatched the prescription. After a glance, he was completely baffled.
"What kind of prescription is this? I’ve never seen anything like it," Qin Shanshui said. "It’s probably just nonsense you made up."
Yang Qi no longer bothered with the idiot and turned to Zhao Xiong. "If you want her saved, send soone quickly. Also, I must be clear about my fees. Your daughter’s condition requires
to refine one Elixir, which will cost one million. The needle treatnt is another million. I do not work for free, but I do not overcharge. Is that acceptable?"
