"Young man, your bone structure is exceptional, and you have the makings of a great talent. Would you be willing to come with me up the mountain?"
At the age of eight, Lu Fan was walking alone on the street, covered in blood, when a shifty-eyed old man asked him this.
And so, he was tricked by the old man onto the mountain, where he stayed for over a decade.
During these ten years, although Lu Fan learned many peerless miraculous arts, he looked down on the old immortal from the bottom of his heart.
It wasn't for any other reason than the old man being too stingy. Over these ten years, Lu Fan had helped him complete numerous tasks, earning wealth that could fill a mountain of gold.
It was a pity that in all his years on the mountain, Lu Fan had eaten meat less than three times. The old man claimed it was for cultivation, to cultivate one's character and temper desires, but Lu Fan knew very well that the old man had been secretly feasting behind his back.
Unexpectedly, perhaps out of kindness, the old man gave him some banknotes today and prepared a bundle for him. He said he had arranged a marriage for him and that Lu Fan should take a marriage certificate to propose.
Lu Fan figured he was old enough and could finally leave the old immortal, so he readily agreed. As soon as he reached the foot of the mountain, Lu Fan glanced back at the peak, licked his finger, and rubbed it on the corner of his eye: "To be honest, I'm a little reluctant to leave!"
Qingzhou City was not large, but it had many businesses, and the streets were bustling.
Lu Fan looked around with delight. Having stayed on the mountain for so long, he found everything in the outside world novel.
However, after walking for a short while, a crowd suddenly gathered ahead. Pushing his way through, he discovered a man lying on the ground, convulsing violently, as if afflicted by some strange illness.
"Everyone, please make way. I am Doctor Liu from the First Affiliated Hospital. This patient needs emergency treatment!"
A man wearing glasses walked in, appearing very refined. He began pressing on the man's chest and took out his medical kit. He seemed quite experienced with such emergencies.
Hearing that he was a doctor from an affiliated hospital, many people parted, and the tense atmosphere eased.
Lu Fan stood with his hands on his hips, watching for a long time, then shook his head: "With your method of treatment, he'll probably die even faster!"
Liu Hao turned back and looked at Lu Fan: "I am from Qingzhou Affiliated Hospital!"
This single sentence was filled with pride, and at the same time, he looked down on Lu Fan. After all, he was a chief physician, and Lu Fan, dressed in rags, had no right to lecture him. Su Dan Novel Network.
Many people nearby also looked at Lu Fan, their eyes filled with disdain. After all, this person before them was from Qingzhou Affiliated Hospital.
To be admitted to Qingzhou Affiliated Hospital meant possessing high degrees in medicine. In contrast, Lu Fan didn't look like a decent person.
"If I'm not mistaken, within a minute, he will vomit uncontrollably, and his convulsions will intensify," Lu Fan said, then ordered a bowl of tofu pudding and leisurely began to drink.
He was originally going to the Yang family to propose and was preparing to buy some gifts on the street. He didn't expect to encounter this. The old man had said that saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. He suspected that this doctor from the affiliated hospital would not be able to cure the man.
"The medication has been administered, and he will recover soon!"
Liu Hao stood up, exuding a calm demeanor. Seeing the man lying on the ground gradually calm down, the crowd also praised him as a divine doctor for stabilizing the condition so quickly.
Lu Fan, however, was unfazed. He had another bowl of tofu pudding, casually crossing his legs: "Life in this city is truly wonderful!"
"Young man, would you like another bowl?" the aunt asked with a smile. "I've been doing business on this street for over ten years, and my skills are still good!"
"Then another bowl it is! I'll drink to my heart's content," Lu Fan said with enjoyment.
Facing the crowd's admiration, Liu Hao was full of arrogance. But at that moment, the man who was gradually recovering suddenly convulsed, vomited foreign matter, and even his pulse throbbed violently.
Liu Hao crouched down to feel the pulse and found that the man's pulse had stopped. His face suddenly turned pale. The surrounding crowd was greatly alarmed. He had been improving, but now he had suddenly worsened.
"I told you! Your method is wrong!" Lu Fan said, crossing his legs. "With your method of treatment, someone will die sooner or later."
Liu Hao wiped the sweat from his brow, feeling somewhat guilty. Although he was a chief physician, he had gotten his position through many backdoors. He had wanted to show off, but now someone might die. He feared losing his job if this was investigated.
"Little brother, you are so accurate; you must have a solution!" Liu Hao looked at Lu Fan. "Why don't you give it a try?"
He was a doctor from an affiliated hospital. If he let a patient die on the street, he would surely lose his job. Lu Fan looked reckless, and if he could be a scapegoat, it would be a good choice.
"I won't treat him!" Lu Fan said slyly. "Unless there's some benefit!"
"As long as you can cure the patient, I will satisfy any request you have!" Liu Hao promised.
"Ten thousand yuan! I'm going to propose soon, and I happen to be short of money!" Lu Fan said with a smile.
"No problem, no problem. As long as you can cure him, even a hundred thousand is fine!" Liu Hao quickly agreed, not believing that Lu Fan had such skills.
The crowd looked at Lu Fan with some disdain. Lu Fan did not look like a doctor at all; he looked more like a charlatan.
"Miss, we've already discussed with the pharmacy. Shall we go first?"
Among the crowd, an old man asked. Standing beside him was a woman wearing high heels and a professional suit. Her face was as delicate as a peach, making her a top beauty.
"No rush. I'd like to see if he can cure him!" Bai Xue said. "If he can truly bring the dead back to life, perhaps my grandfather's illness..."
"Miss, you're being foolish. What ability could this person have!" Steward Wu shook his head. "If he had any ability, he wouldn't be in such a state."
Their voices were very low, but Lu Fan heard them clearly. However, saving the man was more important, so Lu Fan didn't bother with them.
After a careful examination, Lu Fan took out silver needles and inserted a few into the man's body. Liu Hao was surprised that Lu Fan carried silver needles with him.
Lu Fan's needlework was fluid, and his understanding of acupoints was profound, leaving Liu Hao dumbfounded.
As time passed, the man on the ground gradually stopped convulsing and then jumped up, causing many people nearby to exclaim, calling Lu Fan a divine doctor descended to earth.
"How about that? My medical skills are not bad, right?" Lu Fan clapped his hands and looked at Liu Hao. "You promised me a hundred thousand, you can't go back on your word."
Liu Hao was stunned for a moment before quickly saying, "This person wasn't cured by you at all. It must be the effect of my medication, which is only now taking effect!"
At this point, even he felt a bit embarrassed, and the surrounding crowd looked at him with even more disdain. The doctor from the affiliated hospital was so shamelessly fawning.
"Everyone, please judge! Who cured this person!"
Lu Fan shouted with all his might, "I think he's just trying to renege!"
"Of course, it was the young brother who cured him. Everyone here has clear eyes; how could they not see it!"
Many people spoke up, looking at Liu Hao with dissatisfaction. "Are all doctors from affiliated hospitals like this?"
