Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 107: Treating Illness
Tang Xiu was the type of person who would respect someone more if the others respected him. Eyes change eyes, and teeth change teeth. No matter what status Chu Guoxiong possessed, let alone the successor of the Divine Physician, even if he was an Emperor or the Son of Heaven, he would never give him face. He forcefully pushed Chu Guoxiong aside and sat down on a chair in front of the bedside.
“Young people, don't act crazy.”
The old man looked at Tang Xiu with a grim expression and spoke coldly. He had just said in public that even if Hua Tuo and Bian Que came back to life, they would not be able to cure this girl's strange illness. Tang Xiu was still too young, but he could not believe his words, his face turning unsightly.
Tang Xiu did not even turn around as he replied, “I indeed cannot compare to Hua Tuo and Bian Que, she said, I remember very clearly who had just said such nonsense words. But the result is still the same, you have no way to cure it. ”
“You..”.
The old man was very angry. But after seeing Tang Xiu stretch out his arm to check on the girl's pulse, he quickly held back his anger as he spoke in a disdainful tone, “Alright, since you want to bring insult to yourself, I'll be looking forward to seeing you look despicable. ”
Right now, Mu Qingping was already desperate. She had just been hysterically screaming and now found something to vent her emotions. His mood changed at that very moment. But looking at the young appearance that Tang Xiu had, he actually did not have much hope. He also heard the ridicule from Chu Guoxiong and the old man, but even though he was kind-hearted, he then hesitantly spoke in a bitter tone, “Sister, thank you for your intentions and kindness. How ... even if I suppose ... ”
Tang Xiu did not answer.
His attention was completely focused on the current little girl. Although the little girl was still in a coma at the moment, but Tang Xiu was able to sense the condition within his body through his meridians and blood vessels.
“My guess is right.”
After a while, Tang Xiu opened the little girl's wrist as she turned to look at Mu Qingping and said, “If you believe me, buy some medicinal herbs within 10 minutes.”
Mu Qingping stared blankly as he asked with a puzzled expression, “What are you going to do to make me buy herbs?”
Tang Xiu said, “Save him!”
Mu Qingping asked in disbelief, “You can cure my daughter?”
Tang Xiu replied calmly, “If you ask someone else, then I'm afraid their answer is that they are helpless. But luckily, I was able to cure him. Now I want to know, do you believe it or not? ”
“I believe you!”
Even if Mu Qingping had doubts inside, but he firmly replied. She was desperate, and Tang Xiu's words gave her the last hope. Regardless of whatever Tang Xiu said, he was willing to go and do his bidding.
Shortly after.
Tang Xiu wrote the 4 names of the herbs on the paper. These four medicinal herbs were common, but they had to be hundreds of years old and had to be planted in the wilderness. He handed the prescription to Mu Qingping and also took out his bank card, gave it to him and then said, “The price of this herbal medicine is very expensive, and your 300,000 yuan will not be enough. I have a lot of money on my card, enough to buy these 4 types of medicinal herbs. The PIN is on the back of the bank card. I'll wait for you here. ”
“It..”.
Mu Qingping hesitated. He never liked being under the charity of others. And Tang Xiu in front of her was not only willing to take care of her daughter but also gave her money to buy her daughter medicine. For a moment, he felt awkward and completely confused, not knowing what to do.
“Take it!” Tang Xiu spoke clearly in a low voice.
Mu Qingping's body shivered. She looked at the serious expression Tang Xiu had before finally deciding to take the bank card and then said, “Despite whether you can cure my daughter, she said, Mu Qingping will carve out these virtues and virtues in my heart.”
After saying that, he quickly went to buy herbs.
Under the platform.
An old man in his over 50s spoke in a clear and resonant voice, “Young Brother is really kind, with high moral integrity. Your heart is like a Buddha, greatly admired by these old remains. “Hundred Medicine my Hall” even if it cannot be said to be the first, but no one dares to say the second. I have many kinds of medicinal herbs. If Young Brother believes this one, you can give Me that recipe and I will give you those 4 kinds of medicinal herbs for free. ”
Tang Xiu was extremely stunned when he saw the old man. After thinking for a moment, he then slowly asked, “The world always revolves around benefits and advantages either in peacetime or in a chaotic era. I rarely feel touched by compassion, but I feel touched by this mother's heart. So this time I decided to help her save her daughter. But, you are an entrepreneur, profit is what you always pursue. I'd like to ask You, what is your purpose ... or what condition do you want? ”
“Pap clap clap..”
The old man clapped his hands as he said with a smile, “True heroes are really always out of the youths. Your mind is really sharp and you have incredible intelligence. This old kindness really admires you. What you said is true. I'm a businessman, and that's the advantage I'm looking for. But this time, profit is not the only thing I want, but also reputation. If you can cure a patient's illness, I can also take credit. You can tell the world about the achievement of my Hundred Medicine Hall.
“In addition, since you are talking about his condition, then I will mention one. If you can cure the patient, I'll give you free medicinal ingredients. But if you cannot cure it, then you must pay for the four medicinal herbs. How about that? ”
Tang Xiu looked into the old man's eyes deeply. He suddenly grinned and then said with a smile, “The proverb that old and experienced people like ghosts are really true. Alright, I promise that I will use the materials today to advertise your Hundred Medicine Hall. But I also have one condition for you. ”
The old man replied with a puzzled expression, “You also have a condition? Say it! ”
Tang Xiu said, “The disease is very difficult to treat. These four types of medicinal herbs were unable to completely cure him. If you can produce 500-year-old wild ginseng, I have the confidence to cure it completely. Of course, as per your words, you will give Me that wild ginseng for free if I can cure it. If I fail, then I will buy wild ginseng at 10 times the market price. ”
The old man hesitated.
The price of 500-year-old wild ginseng is 8 digits in number. If Tang Xiu could really heal the patient, wouldn't he have to pay too much?
What am I supposed to do?
The old man with the straw sandals beside him sneered. He looked at the boss of the Hundred Medicine Hall and said, “Since you cannot make a decision, then I will help you. If he can cure the patient, I'll pay a 500-year-old wild ginseng for you. If he fails, then you split half of the 10 times the price with Me. ”
“Good!”
The old man was overjoyed as he followed along happily.
Tang Xiu stared coldly at the old man in straw sandals. He silently sneered inside. For others, this little girl's illness might be really strange, but to her, the illness was not even worth mentioning. After he finished checking the little girl's pulse, he perfectly knew the little girl's physical constitution, the Sacred Body of the Twin Pulse Ice Phoenix.
There was a legend in the Eternal World that hundreds of thousands of years ago, a woman with the Twin Pulse Ice Phoenix Sacred Body appeared. Relying on his peerless constitution, not only could he become a Master in the Eternal World, he could even break through the restrictions of the Immortal World and ascend to the God Realm.
Therefore, this little girl was not stricken with any strange diseases. If one wanted to treat him, the only way was to teach him suitable cultivation methods and techniques, helping him step on the path of cultivation. Only then will all the root problems be easily solved. The reason why he started with these 4 types of herbs was, first, he needed to deceive everyone's eyes and ears because Eternal cultivation could not be exposed. Secondly, those 4 types of herbs would be used to improve the physical fitness of this little girl.
Wild ginseng is 500 years old. This was the intrigue of his open robbery. He needed a wild ginseng old enough to help with his cultivation, so he couldn't waste a good chance of obtaining it.
10 Minutes later.
A shop assistant from the Hundred Medicinal Hall sent out 5 types of medicinal herbs. They also sent some equipment to boil the medicinal herbs.
“You want to boil medicinal herbs here, yes?”
Tang Xiu looked at Mu Qingping and asked.
Mu Qingping nodded and said, “Yes, I have boiled many traditional Chinese medicines for my daughter many times in these 2 years.”
Tang Xiu said, “Saving humans is just like putting out a fire. So, if you want to change the medicinal herbs here, take 3 bowls of fresh water, aside from wild ginseng, put all four types of medicinal herbs into the pot according to my order. ”
“Ya!” Mu Qingping quickly complied.
The crowd around him grew larger, almost reaching 500 people. They've been watching this show. And after seeing that Tang Xiu was going to let Mu Qingping take the medicinal herbs, they suddenly talked to each other secretly.
“Actually, is he a fake? How is this young man so brave? He even dared to let the girl's mother take the medicinal herbs in public? Didn't she know that she would be reviled by everyone once her real face was revealed after the girl took traditional Chinese medicine and was shown to have no effect on her? ”
“Sial, reckless actions. Even the successor of Divine Physician Gui Jiinchou and the mysterious old man were unable to cure the strange illness, how could this young man possibly cure him? For traditional Chinese medical doctors, the older they get, the better their medical skills will be. She has not even grown her hair completely. He wouldn't intentionally do vulgar claptrap to please the crowd, would he? ”
“This young man acted too recklessly. If he failed his treatment, he would have to pay a large sum of money. I don't know the price for those 4 herbs, but I know clearly that 500-year-old wild ginseng was valued at 15 million yuan by the Hundred Medicine Hall. 10 Reparations meant he had to pay 150 million in damages. ”
“The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment. That Mu Qingping had set the platform over 10 times in the Jingmen Island Herbal Medicine Market, and no one could fully heal his daughter. How can this fucking baby boy show the weight, eh? ”
“Great and not much! Let's see this bullish show! ”
“…”
Tang Xiu completely ignored the crowd's comments. It was a muddy person's instinct to judge a person based solely on appearance. Those people looked down on him, so he might as well let them know how outrageous it was when they knew that they were wrong.
Time passed …
4 Kinds of medicinal herbs were put in the pot to order, as three bowls of water quickly left only half a bowl. After calculating that the time was almost at hand, he then ordered Mu Qingping to take him out.
“Little .. Little Brother, my daughter is still unconscious, how will she take the medicine?”
Mu Qingping looked at Tang Xiu nervously.
The surrounding spectators, including Chu Guoxiong and that old man wearing straw sandals, all displayed expressions of ridicule and bragging. The patient is unconscious, and it is impossible for him to take medication. They wanted to see, how would Tang Xiu handle it?
“Easy!”
Tang Xiu sat down at the head of the bed position. He took the little girl and placed her on his arm. His fingers then gently pointed and pressed a few points on the little girl's body as he lightly pressed the central acupuncture point of her body.
“Ohhh ..”
Under the gaze of the public eye, the little girl's eyelashes trembled several times as she opened her eyes. Even his wrinkled brows, while he was unconscious, were now gradually stretched out.
Note:
To be honest, I was just a substitute translator for this series, and actually had no plans to take over the translation for the novel from the previous translator. However, due to some issues I don't want to talk about here, I took over the novel.
Starting from next month, I plan to stop accepting donations through sponsored chapters for all of My projects. But all novels will have a stable release of at least 5 to 10 chapters per week. Honestly, that's not the limit I can give you. But I still need at least 1-2 days off because weekends are also family time.2 Other projects I have are Monarch of the Dark Nights and Great Dao Commander, respectively, both are hosted on Wuxianation now. The Great Dao Commander was hosted at Zenithnovels before, but since Wuxianation obtained the license from Qidian, I moved the novel there. Both novels will also be updated regularly.
It's not like I'm greedy to take on a lot of projects. But sometimes, translating just one novel is pretty boring, and switching from one project to another really helps refresh the spirit I have. It's been 8 months since I started translating and the pace has accelerated with time and the more I've gotten used to the author's style and dictation, coupled with the improved proficiency in My Mandarin.
If you can support our team's patreon, please do that out of your goodwill and conscience. But I'm really sorry I didn't have any plans to give the early chapters to all the novels I translated. I will release the bonus chapter occasionally out of my respect for the donors and due to some special events. The reason for that is because I have no plans to make a living from translation right now. I started translating from my hobby and also to improve my Mandarin and English proficiency in reading and writing. From the very beginning I got my first donation, I donated the money back to all the social activities I currently support in real life. I live in Indonesia and there are a lot of people who need support around Me that the government I can't do with ‘reh’. But please make no mistake, I'm not a good man, nor do I want to go to heaven in doing this. That's kinda a wish of self-fulfillment based on the words, “what if I ..” it's quite ambiguous right? lol
