182: Chapter 181 Heavenly Master’s True Colors!

Medical Saint Sect was founded by Medical Saint Zhang Zhongjing during the late Eastern Han, and has been passed down for nearly two thousand years.

Even the Four Sects of Mystical Sect and the Twelve Martial Arts Sects could not match its heritage.

In the contemporary pharmaceutical industry, the Medical Saint Sect established by Medical Saint Zhang Zhongjing and the Medicine King Valley established by Medicine King Sun Simiao are considered the most prestigious.

These two families dominate over eighty percent of Huaxia’s high-end pharmaceutical market.

As the saying goes, counterparts are rivals.

Both of these medical families consider themselves the foremost in Huaxia.

Their rivalry has persisted since the Sui Dynasty and Tang Dynasty, spanning over a thousand years and never truly subsiding.

As everyone was hustling and bustling at the entrance, four burly men with expressionless faces and gleaming eyes swiftly came forward in pairs, forcefully clearing a path.

Subsequently, Qin Feng, walking in the front, led a middle-aged man dressed in a silk robe, who exuded a somewhat transcendent and spiritual aura.

This person is Zhang Tianxu, who holds the fifth seat in the Medical Saint Sect.

Following him were four young men and women—handsome boys and beautiful girls, all quite pleasing to the eye.

Moreover, they all wore unified attire with the Medical Saint Sect insignia on their clothes, presumably all disciples of Zhang Tianxu.

After Qin Feng respectfully offered the seat of honor to Zhang Tianxu, he bowed to the crowd and said, “Ladies and gentlemen, please quiet down.

Your presence in the Qin Family Mansion from thousands of miles away is truly an honor.

To express our gratitude, we have specially invited Heavenly Master Zhang from the Medical Saint Sect.”

“If anyone has any challenging ailments, you can ask Heavenly Master Zhang for diagnosis.

However, due to time constraints, we can only accommodate ten cases today!”

Before Qin Feng could finish speaking, the crowd below burst into an uproar like boiling water.

This was an Elder of the Medical Saint Sect, someone only prominent aristocratic families and governors could possibly invite.

Now that they were willing to lower their status and proactively offer treatments, it was truly a rare opportunity.

“Heavenly Master Zhang, a sorcerer from the southwest recently cursed me; please, I beg you to save me.

I am willing to offer all my possessions as a reward!”

“Heavenly Master Zhang, my son was born with an intellectual disability; is there an effective medicine for his condition?”

“Heavenly Master Zhang…”

Li Chen, however, did not join the commotion but rather sat alone, pouring his own drink.

“Mr.

Li, Heavenly Master Zhang of the Medical Saint Sect seldom makes public appearances.

How can you sit here drinking alone, not even catching a glimpse of him?”

Li Chen, seeing it was Lu Feng who approached, gave him a faint smile and said, “I have no illness or disaster, and he is not a beautiful maiden; why should I go see him?”

Lu Feng was secretly astonished that Li Chen did not show the reverence others had for such a distinguished figure as Heavenly Master Zhang of the Medical Saint Sect.

“My sister may have been a bit excessive before, I hope you don’t mind, Mr.

Li!”

Li Chen replied with a carefree smile, “What did she say?

I don’t even remember.”

Lu Feng was momentarily taken aback, then burst into hearty laughter.

“Here, Mr.

Li, a toast to you!”

While Li Chen and Lu Feng were enjoying their drinks, Zhang Tianxu had already diagnosed ten patients with a hundred percent accuracy.

Of course, these ten were specifically selected by him, all being cases with relatively simple treatments.

“Heavenly Master Zhang, my mother suffers from an incurable disease.

Could you possibly save her?

I am willing to offer a family heirloom in exchange!”

It was then that a man in his thirties, seemingly in desperation, squeezed his way to the front of Zhang Tianxu.

Zhang Tianxu glanced at the bronze mirror that the man held high, saw nothing special about it, and shook his head, saying, “I have already diagnosed the ten cases for today; please come back another day!”

Upon hearing that he should return another day, the man cried out anxiously, “My mother’s condition is severe, and it’s a matter of life and death; I truly cannot afford any delay.

I beg you, Heavenly Master Zhang, to save her!”

However, Zhang Tianxu turned a deaf ear, looking visibly impatient.

If that mirror really was a treasure, it wouldn’t be impossible for him to take action and help.

But to his evaluation, that mirror was at best an ordinary antique valued around hundreds of thousands.

To ordinary people, an antique worth hundreds of thousands might be a treasure.

But for a man of his stature, it was more like a tasteless chicken rib—uninteresting and regrettable to discard.

Moreover, the reward was minor, and what if the treatment failed?

Wouldn’t it damage the reputation of Medical Saint Sect?

Bystanders pointed at the ancient bronze mirror in the man’s hand, saying, “Brother, setting aside the rules of Medical Saint Sect, to muster Heavenly Master Zhang with such a broken mirror seems rather insincere, doesn’t it?”

“Exactly, these things are scattered all over the antique market.

You can buy one for no more than five hundred!”

The crowd came out one after another, accusing the man of being dishonest and insincere.

The man grew anxious, his eyes turning red as he defended, “Gentlemen, my name is Wang Chao.

My ancestor was a very powerful Cultivator.

This was the most precious heritage he left when he ascended to the west.

If it were not for my sick mother, I would not have…”

“Just an aged, poorly made bronze mirror like this sells for a few dozen bucks at street stalls.

And you claim it to be a treasure worth a fortune?

Do you think all of us here are blind?”

“You really have the guts, daring to come here and scam us.

Don’t you see, among those present, which one isn’t a great figure, who wouldn’t have discerning eyes?

If this was truly a treasure, would we not recognize it?”

“Qin Feng, this kind of swindler who deceives everywhere should be kicked out, so as not to spoil everyone’s mood!”

Qin Feng, usually calm and stolid, now showed a trace of displeasure on his face and quickly bowed to the crowd.

“Gentlemen, I apologize for this disruption to your refined natures, I will have someone handle this!”

Saying so, he signaled to two strong men by his side with his eyes, gesturing them to step forward and throw out this troublemaker identified as Wang Chao.

Seeing his last hope for treating his mother fade, Wang Chao’s already gaunt face grew paler, and his eyes filled with despair.

Seeing this, Li Chen frowned.

He hadn’t expected these individuals, who normally spoke grandly of “morality and righteousness,” to be so heartless.

For Heavenly Master Zhang, he felt no favorable impression at all.

“Mr.

Wang, please wait a moment!”

Just as Wang Chao, showing a face full of despair, was about to leave with his sick mother, a crisp voice suddenly rang out from behind him.

Turning to look, he saw a young man, about eighteen or nineteen, with a handsome face and not much muscle, resembling more a high school student than a Martial Artist.

Moreover, his clothing didn’t seem much better than his own, not resembling that of a wealthy family’s son.

“Little brother, are you calling out to me?”

Li Chen gently nodded, saying, “I am unskilled, but I have some understanding of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

May I know what illness afflicts your mother and perhaps examine her?”

Wang Chao was taken aback, initially wanting to refuse, as Li Chen appeared too young, almost unbelievably so.

However, when he caught sight of Li Chen’s eyes, bright and profound like the stars above, he found himself inexplicably nodding.

Well, a living horse could be a dead horse’s doctor.

Perhaps a miracle might occur, even though the chances were incredibly slim.

“Little brother, my mother is on the bench up front, looked after by my wife.

Please, come with me!”
