Yan Fei was a little angry upon hearing this, saying, "What do you know? So young, yet you dare to spout nonsense here!"
"I am also a Chinese medicine practitioner!" Li Se said.
"You're a Chinese medicine practitioner at your age?" Yan Fei was very dismissive. "You haven't graduated yet, have you, and you dare to question my medical skills here? One heart-saving pill, and there will absolutely be no problem!"
"Who is this kid, daring to question Yan Luo's son!"
"Yan Fei's medical skills, though not as good as Yan Luo's, are not something this kid can question!"
"I really don't know what he's thinking. At his age, I don't even know if he's graduated."
"..."
Many people around were pointing fingers at Li Se.
The corpulent middle-aged man impatiently said, "Kid, get aside. If you delay my father's treatment, I'll make you pay!"
"Kid, no matter how much money you spend today, our Zhongcaotang won't sell you any medicinal ingredients. You dare to talk nonsense at such a young age, hmph!" Yan Fei snorted coldly, extremely displeased with Li Se, who dared to dictate his medical treatment at such a young age, which was simply absurd.
"Still not leaving?" The corpulent man shouted sternly. He was also extremely annoyed with such an insensitive kid.
"If you don't believe me, then fine." Li Se, with a dark expression, turned and left. Since they were unwilling to believe him, why should he bother? The reason he offered the treatment method was because he was a doctor. However, if he couldn't buy the herbs at Zhongcaotang, it would be a bit troublesome to obtain the necessary ingredients.
After Li Se left, Yan Fei snorted disdainfully and immediately administered the heart-saving pill to the elder.
As soon as it was taken, the elder's complexion eased considerably. The corpulent man also breathed a sigh of relief, "Dad, how do you feel?"
"Mm, much better." The elder nodded.
"As expected of Yan Luo's son!"
"Given time, his medical skills will surpass Yan Luo's."
"That kid just now was indeed messing around. Look, he's already been cured."
"..."
Many people became even more convinced of Yan Fei.
"Doctor Yan, you saved my father. I, Nie Huacan, will remember this kindness. Here are five million!" The man who called himself Nie Huacan directly handed over a check for a full five million.
When people around heard Nie Huacan's name, they were all greatly surprised.
"He's the biggest jewelry tycoon in Qingyun City!"
"Holy cow, it's really him!"
"Five million for one heart-saving pill, it was worth it."
"..."
"So it's Boss Nie!" Yan Fei said politely, preparing to accept the five million check.
But at this moment, the elder, who was thought to be cured, suddenly cried out, his face becoming increasingly pained, "Ah..."
"Dad!" Nie Huacan's face changed drastically. "Doctor Yan, what's going on?"
"I... I don't know." Yan Fei was startled. "I'll quickly get my father to come over!"
A moment later, Yan Luo appeared. After examining the elder and performing acupuncture for a while, his expression turned grim. "It's too late, prepare for the funeral."
"You are known as the Doctor King of Hell, aren't you supposed to be able to snatch people from the King of Hell? Why are you already preparing for the funeral?" Nie Huacan said angrily.
Yan Luo shook his head. "Fate is predetermined, wealth and honor are bestowed by heaven. I am a doctor, and it's true that I can snatch lives from the King of Hell, but your father is too severely ill. Even an immortal couldn't help him now."
Nie Huacan's face showed pain.
"Mr. Nie, didn't that young divine doctor just say that pressing the Quanquan acupoint could relieve the pain?" the secretary beside him couldn't help but say.
"A Chinese medicine practitioner who hasn't even graduated, do you think his words are useful?" Yan Fei certainly wouldn't take Li Se's words seriously.
"Quanquan acupoint?" Yan Luo frowned. He immediately went to the elder's side. The Quanquan acupoint is located at the apex of the armpit, at the pulsation of the axillary artery. After pressing it, not long after, the elder indeed felt less pain than before and even showed signs of relief.
"It's really useful?" Yan Fei was astonished.
"Where is this divine doctor?" Yan Luo quickly asked.
Yan Fei was somewhat embarrassed. "He... he was driven away by me!"
"Foolish!" Yan Luo, knowing his son's personality, slapped him. "Perhaps only he can cure him."
"Dad, he's too young. If it were you, you wouldn't have believed him either," Yan Fei defended himself.
Nie Huacan's expression shifted slightly. He had been very disrespectful and dismissive of Li Se just now, and he also bore some responsibility for driving him away. He was now filled with regret. "No matter the cost, we must find this divine doctor!"
"Boss Nie, this five million..." Yan Fei wanted the five million check.
"Get out!" Nie Huacan roared.
Since Li Se had only left a short while ago, Nie Huacan and his secretary hurried to chase after him, catching up in about ten minutes.
"What are you here for?" Li Se frowned, still troubled by the matter of medicinal ingredients.
"Divine doctor, I was wrong just now. Please, I beg you to treat my father!" Nie Huacan said very sincerely.
Li Se was still somewhat annoyed with Nie Huacan, but the man's attitude of admitting his mistake had already dispelled most of his anger. However, he wouldn't treat Nie Huacan's father for free. He said, "If you want me to go back, your Nie family must help me find the Purple Leaf Heavenly Lotus unconditionally!"
"Okay!" Although he didn't know what the Purple Leaf Heavenly Lotus was, Nie Huacan agreed very readily. Let alone the Purple Leaf Heavenly Lotus, even something more difficult, he would do anything as long as it could save his father.
Returning to Zhongcaotang, Li Se took out silver needles and performed acupuncture on Nie Huacan's father. After finishing, he wrote down another prescription. However, thinking that this prescription might need to be dispensed at Zhongcaotang, he couldn't help but mock, "It's better to buy the herbs elsewhere. A single prescription from Zhongcaotang will probably cost several million!"
The expensiveness of Zhongcaotang's medicinal ingredients was naturally well-known, but the problem was that the herbs here were more complete, and many precious medicinal ingredients were not available elsewhere but were available at Zhongcaotang.
Yan Luo smiled and said, "Young divine doctor, we can sell you the medicinal ingredients you need at cost price."
"Dad, this isn't appropriate..." Yan Fei wanted to stop him, but was glared at by Yan Luo, and then said nothing.
Finally, all the medicinal ingredients that Li Se needed were gathered by Zhongcaotang. The cost price was three hundred thousand, but Zhongcaotang sold them to him for nearly three million. This lowered his impression of Yan Luo considerably. He had thought that Yan Luo might not have known that his subordinates were selling herbs at such high prices, but now it seemed that Yan Luo had authorized it.
Yan Luo approached Li Se and smiled, "Young divine doctor, can we make a deal?"
"What deal?"
Yan Luo stroked his beard. "What you performed just now, was it the Nine Heavenly Needles?"
"Yes!" Li Se nodded.
"I also have a set of acupuncture techniques called the Yan Family Acupuncture. Can I exchange it for your Nine Heavenly Needles? For practitioners like us, the most important thing is continuous learning." Yan Luo said with sincerity.
Li Se, however, frowned. "What Yan Family Acupuncture? I've never even heard of it, yet you want to exchange it for my Nine Heavenly Needles? Are you kidding me?"
"Presumptuous!" Yan Fei was somewhat angry. "The Yan Family Acupuncture is the foundation of our Yan family's establishment. Exchanging acupuncture techniques with you is showing you respect!"
