Chapter 50: Becoming an Apprentice to Learn Medicine

Upon hearing Dr. Luo's question, Su Yan frowned slightly. Before the old man could speak, she said in a cold voice, "What time is it? You still want to draw Grandpa's blood?"

Upon hearing this, Dr. Luo suddenly remembered that he had been brought in to examine the old man.

"Good! The old man is doing very well now."

"Don't worry, given his condition, he should be able to live for another three to five years without any problem."

Everyone:? ? ?
you sure?
You said yesterday that the old man's death was just two days away!

Everyone present was puzzled and surprised, except for Su Qing, who frowned and glanced at Dr. Luo.

How can this guy lie so blatantly?

Given the old man's current condition, he clearly only has seven days left, and that's only under the condition that he's being nourished by the wood elemental energy she just transferred to him.

Unaware of Su Qing's thoughts, Dr. Luo looked at the old man and made his request again, "Sir, may I draw a vial of your blood for testing?"

"You know, the equipment here isn't complete; it's more comprehensive to get a checkup at the hospital."

At this point, Dr. Luo added, "Besides the blood test, you'd better go to the hospital for a full body checkup."

The old man nodded upon hearing this.

Seeing this, Dr. Luo assumed that the other person had agreed to have his blood drawn, and he immediately opened his toolbox to prepare his tools.

However, Su Qing stopped her as soon as she opened the toolbox, saying, "No."

As soon as Su Qing spoke, everyone turned their attention to her.

"Xiao Qing, don't be silly. It would be good for your grandfather to get a full check-up."

Ultimately, the Su family still respected the old man the most. If he could live a few more years, the Su family's pharmacy business would definitely be able to prosper for a few more years.

But if the old man passes away, with Su Qing and Su Yan by their side...

Two young people are ultimately not as reliable as the old man.

Despite the advice from those around her, Su Qing insisted, "We can't draw blood. Grandpa's current condition is not suitable for blood draws."

Upon hearing this, Dr. Luo immediately explained, "Your grandfather is doing very well right now. It's just a matter of drawing a vial of blood; it's nothing serious."

"Besides, a more comprehensive check-up would put your minds at ease, right?"

After saying that, Dr. Luo looked at Su Qing expectantly.

He didn't know why, but deep down he felt a bit intimidated by the second young lady of the Su family today.

Su Qing shook her head and said firmly, "No."

If he were to have blood drawn, even just a little bit, it would be a huge drain on the old man now.

The spiritual energy within him was forcibly transferred to him by her and does not belong to him. Therefore, the spiritual energy will be lost at any time, but the rate of loss will be slower, and it will take about seven or eight days for it to be completely lost.

However, drawing blood will cause a loss of blood and energy, leading to a faster loss of spiritual energy.

There were originally seven days, but who knew how many days would be left after the blood was drawn?
Seeing that Su Qing was repeatedly trying to stop Dr. Luo, Su Yan frowned and asked, "What are you being so stubborn about?"

"Are you a doctor, or is Dr. Luo the one? Could he possibly harm Grandpa?"

As soon as Su Yan spoke, the others echoed her sentiments.

"Yes, Xiao Qing, don't stop Dr. Luo."

“Maybe Dr. Luo’s examination will find a way to cure your grandfather. You can’t delay your grandfather’s treatment.”

"Xiao Qing, just move aside."

Despite everyone's attempts to persuade her, Su Qing remained unmoved. She stood there blocking Dr. Luo from getting close to the old man until her arm was gently patted.

Su Qing turned to look at the old man; it was he who had patted her arm just now.

The old man smiled peacefully and calmly, "I know you're doing this for my own good, so let Dr. Luo draw a vial of blood."

"Maybe Dr. Luo has actually discovered something."

So much time has passed that the old man is pretty sure it wasn't a case of a final burst of energy before death; however, the whole thing is just so strange.

Having dealt with many doctors in the medicinal herb business, he knew that physicians like Dr. Luo would be eager to understand this matter. He himself also wanted to know what was going on.

He always felt that this matter was very important, and that it was inextricably linked to Su Qing.

Su Qing frowned slightly upon hearing the old man's words, "But..."

Although the old man didn't know what Su Qing was worried about, he could guess that drawing blood must be disadvantageous for him. However, he still shook his head and interrupted Su Qing, "Grandpa was prepared to leave long ago. The sudden improvement is a pleasant surprise, but my grandpa is not afraid of death."

"More than death, Grandpa wanted to know what was going on."

Su Qing: "..."

But I don't want you to know.

However, since the old man had agreed, Su Qing didn't say anything more.

Although she did want to save the old man because of the original owner of the body, she ultimately had no feelings for him. Having cultivated for many years, she had always respected the fate of others.

So, under the old man's watchful eye, Su Qing moved to the side.

Upon seeing this, Dr. Luo's eyes immediately lit up and he stepped forward.

Actually, one vial of blood might not be enough, but the old man had just escaped death and hadn't been eating much lately, so it wasn't really suitable to draw more blood.

Therefore, Dr. Luo only asked for one vial of blood.

He has to use this one vial of blood sparingly.

"I'm going to the hospital now. I'll let you know as soon as the results are in." After drawing blood, Dr. Luo hurriedly started packing his things. Before leaving, he didn't forget to remind everyone, "Oh, and remember to take the old man to the hospital for a full check-up."

After saying that, Dr. Luo left without looking back.

When he left, he completely forgot his wig on the bedside table in the Su family's house.

But the Su family didn't have time to care about these things; they all surrounded the old man and began asking him about his condition.

"Grandpa, how are you feeling? Are you dizzy?"

"You haven't eaten properly for several days, and you just had your blood drawn. Would you like to eat something now?"

……

Hearing the chattering questions about the situation, the old man finally felt annoyed and said to everyone, "Alright, stop arguing, everyone go out, I need some peace and quiet."

After saying that, the old man looked at Su Qing and said, "Xiao Qing, you can stay and keep me company."

"Yes, let the old man have some peace and quiet. Everyone, please leave."

As soon as the old man spoke, Butler Su began to shoo people away. Before leaving, he glanced back at the old man and said, "Old man, you and the second young lady chat. I'll go get you something to eat."

Upon hearing this, the old man intended to reply with "I don't want to eat," but he swallowed the words and then grunted at the butler.

I hadn't had much of an appetite before, but for some reason, I suddenly started to have one just now.

And he was indeed hungry.

Seeing that the old man agreed, Butler Su nodded several times before hurriedly leaving.

Everyone left, leaving only Su Qing and the old man in the room.

Su Qing silently sat down by the bed and began to take the old man's pulse with her eyes lowered.

Seeing this, the old man asked jokingly, "What? Little Qing has gone to study medicine?"

Su Qing nodded to the old man, then said half-jokingly, "I met a very skilled medical cultivator... she was an ancient doctor, so I became her apprentice and learned a bit from her."

The old man was slightly taken aback by Su Qing's words. "You actually learned it?"

Su Qing nodded. "Of course it's true."

As she spoke, she looked up and met the old man's gaze. "If you don't believe me, I've brought my junior sister with me today. Would you like me to call her over to meet you?"

Old man:?

real or fake?
