Chapter 11 The Decline of Morals

"Didn't expect to strike it rich with a stroke of luck and have him earn a million."

Yang Jiaqi said coldly, "But he'll only flaunt it for a few days. It won't be long before he can't stay in Qingzhou!"

"I was utterly ruined by him today!"

Shen Wei's face was grim. "I've offended Master Liu, who is renowned throughout Jiangnan. If my father finds out, he'll probably break my legs!"

"Young Master Shen need not panic. Master Liu doesn't know you, so he won't blame you," Yang Jiaqi comforted him.

"Hmph, this is all your doing, dragging me into trouble!" Shen Wei said angrily.

After leaving the auction house, Lu Fan went straight to the pharmacy. With a million in his hand, he no longer worried about the cost of medicine.

The Divine Doctor's Hall was not far from Qingzhou University. As soon as Lu Fan entered, he smelled the medicinal fragrance that filled the entire clinic.

"Please help me dispense medicine according to this list!" Lu Fan handed over a prescription.

The assistant took the prescription and frowned slightly. "These few herbs are incompatible. Mixing them will be bad for the body. Are you trying to decoct the medicinal materials, or what?"

"It's fine, just dispense it according to the formula I've given you." Lu Fan smiled. This was a special folk remedy that most traditional Chinese medicine practitioners did not understand.

"I'm truly sorry, but this is the Divine Doctor's Hall, and we value our reputation. If anything were to happen after dispensing the medicine for you, it would be difficult for us to account for it," the assistant said with a wry smile. "So, I'm afraid we cannot dispense this medicine. If you are ill, we can treat your symptoms. Our clinic's owner is known as the Little Divine Doctor, and it is not an undeserved reputation."

"Really, no need!"

Lu Fan waved his hand. "Just dispense it according to the formula I've given you."

The assistant looked troubled. Just then, a young man came to the counter. "What's happening?"

"This person's prescription is incorrect. I advised him to come to the clinic to be treated for his symptoms," the assistant explained.

Bai Xiaosheng nodded, glanced at the prescription, and then smiled at Lu Fan. "I'm truly sorry, this prescription is incorrect. Two of the herbs are incompatible and extremely detrimental to the patient. I'm afraid we cannot dispense this medicine!"

"If that's the case, then forget it!" Lu Fan said helplessly. "This is just a folk remedy that you are unaware of!"

"Where did this folk remedy come from? It's truly a quack poisoning people!"

Bai Xiaosheng shook his head. "If you trust me, little brother, don't use this prescription!"

"Cough cough..." Lu Fan coughed a few times. "How about this! You dispense these few herbs for me, and I'll take responsibility for any consequences!"

"This..."

The assistant was stunned and looked at the young man. The Divine Doctor's Hall was led by the young man.

"Since he wants it dispensed, then dispense it for him!" The young man waved his hand and reminded, "If these herbs are mixed together, they will have adverse effects. As a healer, I can only offer a reminder!"

Lu Fan nodded and stood aside waiting for the medicine, ignoring the young man's words. In terms of medical skill, there were few people in Qingzhou, or even the entire country, who could surpass Lu Fan.

"Little Divine Doctor, please come quickly! My child has suddenly fallen unconscious and is convulsing!"

Outside the clinic, an old man rushed in holding a child. They were ordinary citizens who could not afford treatment at a big hospital, so they could only come to the clinic to see if there was any way.

"Bring him in!" Bai Xiaosheng instructed.

In a flash, he began to feel the child's pulse and then shook his head. "The situation is not good. There's blood reflux. This is a very rare occurrence, and it will likely endanger his life soon."

The old man knelt down with a thud. "I've heard that the Little Divine Doctor's medical skills are astonishing. Please, Little Divine Doctor, save my child's life!"

"Old sir, there's no need for this. As a healer, I naturally won't stand by and do nothing!"

Bai Xiaosheng helped the old man up and took out silver needles, his gaze becoming serious. In fact, he didn't know how to treat blood reflux, but his master had taught him a set of needling techniques that could have some effect on any patient.

Seeing Bai Xiaosheng begin to apply the needles, the old man's panicked expression turned solemn. His child had suddenly fallen ill, and even with Bai Xiaosheng's intervention, there was likely considerable risk.

"Seven Star Needling Technique!"

Lu Fan was slightly surprised. He hadn't expected the young man in front of him to know the Seven Star Needling Technique.

This needling technique was very ancient and rarely known. Even the national medical master, Divine Doctor Zhao, only knew the basics. If Lu Fan hadn't taken him as a disciple, Lu Fan wouldn't have taught him the technique.

"Little Divine Doctor, my child, he won't..."

Seeing the child sweating profusely, the old man asked repeatedly, his worry increasing.

"There shouldn't be a problem!"

Bai Xiaosheng forced a smile. Although the child had not woken up, after his acupuncture, there were clear signs of improvement. Su Dan Novel Network

"The Seven Star Needles can bring the dead back to life, but this child has reversed qi and blood. If you use the Big Dipper Seven Star Needles to treat him, it might be counterproductive!" Lu Fan reminded him from the side.

"Our young master is called the Little Divine Doctor, and it's not an empty boast." The assistant looked at Lu Fan. "Your words just now, aren't you looking down on our Divine Doctor's Hall!"

"Don't be rude!" Bai Xiaosheng stopped him and looked at Lu Fan with surprise. "It seems little brother is an expert. You can see this is the Big Dipper Seven Star Needles. Could it be that you are also a divine doctor?"

"I only know a little, I wouldn't dare call myself a divine doctor." Lu Fan smiled. "I'm just offering good advice. If you think I'm wrong, then proceed as you see fit!"

Bai Xiaosheng frowned. Lives were at stake, so he couldn't afford to hesitate. Even if Lu Fan's words were potentially true, he could only proceed with the Seven Star Needles with a brave face.

"Alright, alright, my child has opened his eyes!" The old man was overjoyed. "The Little Divine Doctor is truly a Hua Tuo reborn!"

"You flatter me!" Bai Xiaosheng smiled. "Go home and drink plenty of water, avoid strenuous exercise, and get plenty of rest."

"Definitely, definitely!" The old man nodded quickly.

Bai Xiaosheng turned his gaze to Lu Fan and smiled. "The Big Dipper Seven Star Needles have the effect of bringing the dead back to life, and dealing with such difficult illnesses is not a major problem!"

"Within ten breaths, the child will be on the verge of death!" Lu Fan shook his head.

"Why are you like this? Aren't you cursing him to die?" The assistant was displeased.

The old man also looked at Lu Fan and cursed, "What kind of person are you? My child has already been cured by the Little Divine Doctor, how can you say such malicious words?"

Bai Xiaosheng also frowned. He had thought Lu Fan had some skill, but now it seemed he was not a good person. His words were clearly out of jealousy of his medical skills.

"I'm just telling the truth." Lu Fan smiled wryly. "It's no use if you don't believe me!"

After speaking, Lu Fan took his herbs and left. He had a profound understanding of medicine, and what he had said earlier was by no means false.

As soon as Lu Fan left, the old man grumbled indignantly, "The world is really going downhill. There's all sorts of people nowadays!"

Unfortunately, before he finished speaking, the child in his arms fell unconscious again.
