Lin Feng smiled faintly, took out a silver needle from his pocket, and held it in his hand. The silver needle immediately emitted a buzzing sound.
It was as if a powerful airflow was generated on the surface of the silver needle, stunning both Old Man Liu and the elder surnamed Wan.
"Young man, I'll have you treat me. I'll pay any price, I believe in you!"
The elder surnamed Wan trembled with excitement. He had visited so many renowned physicians, yet this was his first time seeing a silver needle behave like this.
Inevitably, he held a few expectations for Lin Feng's medical skills.
Old Man Liu was so astonished that he couldn't speak, his gaze towards Lin Feng filled with complexity.
Lin Feng was not one for pleasantries. Today, he wasn't here to make money, but to teach Old Man Liu a lesson.
Therefore, Lin Feng instructed the elder to lie down, picked up his silver needles, and began to insert them with swift movements.
With each insertion, the silver needle vibrated non-stop on the elder's body, as if stimulated by something, which was quite astonishing.
"He can actually use Qi to manipulate needles! Who is he?!"
Old Man Liu's eyes were filled with immense shock, and his withered, aged palm clenched silently.
Clearly, Old Man Liu had been stunned by Lin Feng's terrifying abilities.
After inserting about a dozen needles, black Qi suddenly seeped out from the elder's chest, staining the needles black. The elder then forcefully spat out a mouthful of black blood!
Seeing this, the elder's driver was terrified and was about to inquire about the situation.
"No need to be nervous. The old gentleman is expelling the toxic blood that has accumulated in his lungs. This also signifies that his illness is completely cured," Lin Feng said reassuringly.
"Young man, this is miraculous, truly miraculous! I feel so much more relaxed, and my chest feels incredibly clear!"
"This is the first time in decades that I've felt so refreshed! Thank you so much!"
The elder sat up, his eyes red with excitement.
"Sir, treating the sick and saving the dying is the sacred duty of medical practitioners. You don't need to be so polite." Lin Feng smiled humbly.
"Xiao Zhang, get the checkbook and write out a million for this young brother!" the elder hastily instructed. This amount was nothing to him and couldn't compare to Lin Feng's kindness.
Lin Feng did not refuse. He could tell the elder was not short of money, so he accepted it.
"Young brother, this is my business card. If you ever need my help in the future, please don't hesitate to find me."
Lin Feng took the card and glanced at it. He saw that the elder's name was Wan Zhongliang, and Zhongliang Real Estate was his company.
If he remembered correctly, Zhongliang Real Estate was one of the top conglomerates in Qingcheng.
The most expensive old district in Qingcheng had been bought out by Zhongliang Real Estate, which was planning to demolish it and build a modern new area.
Realizing the elder's formidable strength, Lin Feng did not decline and readily accepted the business card.
After the elder left, Lin Feng turned to the stunned Old Man Liu and said, "Now that there are no more patients, can I buy my medicine?"
Old Man Liu came back to his senses. Although he disliked Lin Feng, he said resentfully, "Tell me, what do you want to buy!"
"I'm buying these medicines. Just grab them according to the prescription!" Lin Feng handed over the prescription he had prepared earlier.
Old Man Liu took a close look and couldn't help but laugh, "Kid, you look pretty healthy. Why are you taking such potent tonics? Don't tell me you have problems in that area?"
"I'm not taking any damn tonics! These are weight-loss pills. Don't spout nonsense if you don't understand, hurry up and grab them!" Lin Feng didn't bother to explain.
Old Man Liu, however, sneered repeatedly. The medicines listed on the prescription were all highly nourishing. How could they possibly cause weight loss? It would be good if they didn't cause weight gain! He must be impotent! Thinking triumphantly, Old Man Liu still grabbed a pile of medicines for Lin Feng according to the prescription.
After getting the medicine, Lin Feng couldn't be bothered to say more to the old geezer and turned to leave.
Not long after Lin Feng left, Bai Zimo walked in from the back door of the pharmacy. She looked sleepy, as if she had just woken up.
"Old Liu, what happened just now? Why was it so noisy?" Bai Zimo asked.
"Martial Uncle, it was that kid surnamed Lin again, and there's something I need to report to you." Old Man Liu's expression was solemn. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Martial Uncle, that kid surnamed Lin can manipulate needles with Qi, and his medical skills are very impressive. I fear he is on par with you!"
"You're saying he can manipulate needles with Qi?!" Bai Zimo was also surprised, but she quickly calmed down. "As I suspected, I didn't misjudge him. He's truly not simple!"
"Martial Uncle, although this kid is quite capable, he might have problems in that area!" Old Man Liu suddenly revealed a cunning smile.
Bai Zimo looked confused. "Problems in what area? What exactly are you trying to say?"
"It's just that this kid bought a bunch of tonics earlier. He said they were for weight loss, but in reality, they are all for nourishing the body, so I'm sure this kid has kidney deficiency!" Old Man Liu laughed heartily.
Bai Zimo rolled her eyes and snorted coldly, "Just do your own job! Do you think someone who can manipulate needles with Qi would have problems?"
"Write down the medicine he just grabbed for me immediately. I want to see what he's up to!"
Old Man Liu's smile froze. He realized he had misunderstood and hurriedly wrote down the prescription for Bai Zimo.
Bai Zimo took it and frowned. The prescription was indeed for nourishing the body and also had the effect of increasing appetite. How could this possibly be related to weight loss? It was truly strange!
At that time, Lin Feng left the pharmacy and returned to the hospital. Liu Mengyao had likely gone out for some fresh air and was not in the ward.
While Liu Mengyao was away, Lin Feng began to prepare the weight-loss pills for Kang Xiaofu.
These medicinal ingredients were all ground into powder. Lin Feng needed to knead the ingredients together and then shape them into pills.
As he didn't have any refining or pill-making equipment nearby, Lin Feng had to rely on his manual skills. He mixed the powdered herbs with water and then rolled them into small pills.
However, these pills were too soft and easily deformed, making them difficult to consume.
By chance, Lin Feng noticed a small ceramic pot used for cooking porridge on Liu Mengyao's desk. An idea struck him, and he filled the pot with cooking oil, using the oil to fry and solidify the pills.
As it happened, while Lin Feng was intently frying the pills, Liu Mengyao returned from her walk.
"Lin Feng, what are you frying? Why is there such a strong medicinal smell?" Liu Mengyao smelled the strong aroma of medicine and oil as soon as she entered the ward.
"I'm making something. It'll be done soon, please bear with me for a moment." Lin Feng smiled awkwardly. Seeing that the pills were almost fried, he couldn't stop.
"Lin Feng, what are you frying? Angelica, ginseng, goji berries – aren't these all powerful tonics?" Liu Mengyao noticed the remaining herbs on the table, recognizing a few of them.
"Oh? I understand now. You don't have money to buy tonics, so you've personally made nourishing medicine for me to help me maintain my pregnancy, haven't you?" Liu Mengyao suddenly realized, her beautiful eyes showing a hint of emotion.
"Lin Feng, you're truly too thoughtful to me. Despite your difficult circumstances, you're always thinking of me and the baby!"
"Even though what you've made looks a bit crude, I'll definitely eat it all. I can't let your good intentions go to waste!" Liu Mengyao blinked her big, watery eyes and pouted her lovely small mouth, looking like she was about to cry.
