Upon hearing Wang Pangzi's words, Ling Feng finally understood the current situation.
It turned out that he had inadvertently brought so much profit to this Bai Cao Fang. No wonder the people at Bai Cao Fang were so polite to him. He recalled that on the day of the free clinic, he had indeed produced many prescriptions, and the medicinal materials required for those prescriptions could sustain three to five traditional Chinese medicine pharmacies!
However, it seemed that all these people had flocked here! This could only indicate one thing: this Bai Cao Fang was truly reliable in its business dealings!
"Yes, yes! Divine Doctor Ling, thank you so much. Our Bai Cao Fang's business was always lukewarm before. We diligently sold medicine but didn't know how to promote ourselves. Competition from peers was fierce. If it weren't for you, how could so many people come here to buy medicine? Now our reputation has spread, hehe, thank you!" The shopkeeper Liu was even more grateful.
Ling Feng rarely shook hands with people, but today was different. This person spoke very sincerely. Many things should not have been said in front of customers. Yet, Shopkeeper Liu had said them. This further demonstrated that the other party didn't care about money or profit at all. They were who they were at Bai Cao Fang and could tell customers everything!
"You're welcome. I didn't bring anyone here; this is your pharmacy's reliable business," Ling Feng shook hands with him. These words revealed Ling Feng's humility. But in Ling Feng's opinion, this matter truly had nothing to do with him. However, the more someone was praised, the less they put on airs, making them very approachable! Everyone looked at Ling Feng with much more warmth.
"Hehe, Divine Doctor Ling, you are too humble. However, the traditional Chinese medicine at Bai Cao Fang is indeed very reliable. My illness is almost healed. Since you are here today, could you give me a follow-up consultation?" Wang Pangzi squeezed over. At the same time, he extended a hand, clearly hoping Ling Feng would check his pulse.
Ling Feng smiled wryly in his heart. He had come to buy medicine, and this might turn into another free clinic! As expected, many people around, after hearing Ling Feng's identity, were already discussing amongst themselves, and a crowd was starting to gather! Seeing that people had stopped buying medicine, Shopkeeper Liu also showed a wry smile, but he did not stop Wang Pangzi's action, looking at Ling Feng with some anticipation.
Smart people knew that if Ling Feng could give these people a free consultation at this moment, as long as he wrote a prescription, it would secure a customer for Bai Cao Fang. This was truly helping Shopkeeper Liu and the others, so they would definitely not stop Ling Feng from giving free consultations here.
However, Ling Feng had no intention of giving free consultations here. Although the number of people this time was not large, once it started, who knew how many more would come in. It wasn't that Ling Feng didn't want to save all living beings; it was just that Ling Feng clearly understood a principle. There were too many sick people in the world, and it was impossible for anyone to change everything through their own efforts. Ling Feng's medical belief was to help when encountering illness, but not to actively undertake the great virtuous deeds of a wandering physician!
"I'm here to buy medicine today. Later, perhaps," Ling Feng responded to Wang Pangzi.
Upon hearing this, Wang Pangzi immediately came to his senses, looked around, and slapped his forehead.
*Slap!*
"Hey, look at my perceptiveness. Divine Doctor Ling, you're personally here to buy medicine, you must be in a hurry to save people. Yes, yes, I can't disturb you today!" Wang Pangzi's words dispelled everyone's thoughts!
Ling Feng nodded slightly. This fellow was indeed quite capable! Then, Ling Feng looked towards Shopkeeper Liu inside. The attendant beside him handed over the prescription provided by Su Ming. Shopkeeper Liu took a look and couldn't help but show a wry smile. Seeing his expression, Ji Yunyue frowned slightly, "What? Does your pharmacy not have these medicinal materials?"
Shopkeeper Liu had already noticed the two stunning beauties beside Ling Feng and was slightly taken aback. Then he quickly shook his head and replied, "No, it's not that we don't have these medicinal materials, it's just..." He then looked at Ling Feng with a wry smile, "Hehe, originally, we should have given these medicinal materials to Divine Doctor Ling for free. However, the medicinal materials required by Divine Doctor Ling are all extremely precious and valuable. Our Bai Cao Fang is a small business, so Divine Doctor Ling must be amused!"
Ji Yunyue came to her senses upon hearing this and shook her head. Ling Feng's influence was truly great. So, they hadn't intended to charge him from the beginning.
"Shopkeeper Liu, there's no need to be polite. Just tell me the price. I'm not short of money. If you truly want to dispense medicine, give it to those patients who need it," Ling Feng replied casually. The first half of this sentence might sound a bit arrogant. Who in the world would dare to say they weren't short of money? However, after hearing Ling Feng's latter half, some people in line, especially those patients with shallow pockets, were deeply moved! They were the ones who needed to be dispensed medicine.
Shopkeeper Liu was also touched and looked at Ling Feng with utmost respect, "Ah, alright, we'll do as Divine Doctor Ling says! Attendant, go get all the medicines."
"Alright!" The attendant beside him responded and quickly turned to the inner hall to prepare those precious medicinal materials. Shopkeeper Liu then waved to Ling Feng, "Divine Doctor Ling, you can rest and wait for your medicine over there. However, hehe, we have relatively few attendants here, so you'll have to pour your own tea!"
"No need to be polite. I have hands and feet, and I don't like being served. Shopkeeper Liu, you busy yourself." Ling Feng responded and then went to the rest area! After Ling Feng sat down and poured his own tea, Lu Qingyi beside him shook her head and said to Ling Feng, "Ling Feng, the changes in you are truly significant!"
"What changes?" Ling Feng asked back.
"Before, I always felt you were aloof and unapproachable. I didn't expect you to have such an approachable side, to be able to mingle with everyone." Ji Yunyue spoke first this time. Lu Qingyi, although stunned for a moment, also nodded in agreement, "Yes, you always put immense pressure on people before. Although these people have reverence for you, they don't feel pressured by you."
Ling Feng shook his head, "This is not a battlefield, and they are not my enemies. Why should I exert deterrence on them?" As the Zhenbei Heavenly Venerate, his dominance and deterrence were indispensable, even forming a habit. However, now that he had returned to the city, would Ling Feng still put on airs in front of ordinary people? That would be ridiculous.
Just as the three of them sat down for tea, a group of people suddenly pushed their way in through the entrance, and four people were carrying a stretcher with someone lying on it, groaning in pain!
"Oh, it hurts so much, it hurts to death! You compensate me!" As soon as this person entered, he demanded money. The people carrying the stretcher were also shouting and yelling, and for a moment, the scene became chaotic. The customers queuing to buy medicine were all drawn to the commotion! Seeing so many people, they instinctively moved aside!
