I bought a secret manual of the Hehuan Sect for ten yuan.

"Didn't your Yuan family offer a reward for medical treatment?"

"Perfect timing! I'm a doctor, and I've come specifically to claim the reward!"

Seeing Yuan Mengjie's bewildered expression, Qin Ge was also a little confused. "Could there be a mistake? Is this not true?"

"No, no," Yuan Mengjie waved her hands repeatedly. "It is true, but I just didn't expect you to be a doctor, so I didn't think of it that way."

"Have you looked into my grandfather's condition? How confident are you about the outcome?"

She didn't really have high hopes for Qin Ge, but he was still her savior, so she had to give him face.

Yuan Mengjie's grandfather, Yuan Zheng, suddenly fell ill with a strange disease three years ago, experiencing alternating chills and fever.

When the cold symptoms flare up, the face turns bluish-purple, and the skin all over the body is ice-cold, even colder than someone who has passed the seventh day after death. The family thought he was going to die, but he just kept going and wouldn't stop. In less than half an hour, he slowly returned to normal.

When a fever strikes, it's a persistent high fever. In a normal person's brain, the fever would have already damaged it, but he was fine and gradually returned to normal in less than half an hour.

Lying in bed without leaving the house, you can experience the sensation of both ice and fire. Although there is a slight sourness, overall it is still unbearable.

With the alternation of hot and cold temperatures, and having to endure this torment several times a day, Yuan Zheng's health deteriorated.

When the attack occurs, the pulse is also very strange. When it is weak, it is as thin as a thread, and when it is strong, it is as rapid as thunder, which baffles many medical experts.

After numerous renowned doctors failed to provide effective treatment, the Yuan family began offering a reward for a cure.

It started at one million and kept increasing, then two million, five million...

Even three years later, with the reward reaching 60 million, no one has been able to cure him.

These three years have not only been a period of great suffering for Yuan Zheng, but also greatly improved the mental resilience of everyone in the Yuan family.

Now, when the Yuan family sees the old man having an attack, it's no different from seeing someone eat, drink, or go to the toilet; they are no longer moved by it.

We've seen it all before, we're numb to it.

But no matter what, the old man is still alive, and the Yuan family still hopes he can be cured.

Yuan Zheng, that old man, also had an extremely strong will to live; otherwise, he wouldn't have endured three years of torment without taking his own life.

Moreover, apart from his body becoming weaker day by day, he was quite normal when he wasn't having an attack.

Adhering to the principle that it's better to live a miserable life than to die a good death, Yuan Zhengjian has persevered to this day, and when he's in good condition, he can even eat two bowls of rice.

"I'm 50% sure before I see the patient, but once I do, I'm probably 100% sure."

Whether it can be cured or not depends on your grandfather's fate.

Judging from the symptoms, Qin Ge had no idea what illness Yuan Zheng had, as it was completely unheard of.

"Is Mr. Qin serious?" Yuan Mengjie was clearly a little unhappy. Even if he was her savior, she shouldn't joke about something like this.

How can you say there's a 50% or 100% chance of success without even seeing the patient? It depends on the patient's fate. Shouldn't the most important factor in whether a disease can be cured be the doctor's medical skills?

However, the main reason she was unhappy was that she had seen too many so-called famous doctors in the past three years, and those people were only after the reward.

Their thinking was simple: if they cured the patient, they would make a fortune; if they failed, they would suffer no loss, just like buying a lottery ticket for free.

It's free anyway, what if I win?

Yuan Mengjie now feels that Qin Ge is very likely to be that kind of person too!

You're willing to waste your time trying your luck, but it's the old man who suffers!

"Of course I'm serious, but if I can cure it, we need to discuss the reward."

"What do you mean? Sixty million isn't enough? You want more money?"

"No, I'm not interested in money. In this life... uh, I mean I don't want money, I want something else, that piece of black jade that your Yuan family has inherited!"

"Black jade?! You even know that?"

"Of course, I came here with a purpose in mind."

"I'm afraid I can't make that decision."

"I guessed so. You could talk to someone who can make the decision first, and if possible, take me to see the patient!"

The two walked and talked until they arrived at the Yuan family hall. Yuan Mengjie had tea served to Qin Ge and then left first.

About half an hour later, Yuan Mengjie reappeared. "I've told my dad and the others about your request. If you can really cure my grandfather, I can give you the Moyu."

Qin Ge's face held a hint of sarcasm. "Does this kind of thing really need to be discussed for so long?"

"Nothing is more precious than a human life, so what's there to hesitate about!"

"Take me to see the patient!"

When Yuan Mengjie brought Qin Ge to her grandfather's residence, a number of Yuan family members had already gathered outside the door.

They were all stunned when they saw Qin Ge. Was this the "somewhat young" Yuan Mengjie had mentioned? He was ridiculously young!

Although no one said anything, Qin Ge could read their eyes.

Qin Ge in the East China Sea was already used to it. People questioned his medical skills because of his age. In the medical field, he was indeed not very authoritative at his age.

Yuan Mengjie was under a lot of pressure. She was only willing to believe Qin Ge once because he saved her life. If she hadn't talked herself hoarse and convinced her family, Qin Ge wouldn't have even had a chance to come in.

After all, we've encountered too many quack doctors in the past three years. If just anyone could walk in and treat the old man, he would have been through a lot even if he hadn't died from his illness.

A dozen minutes later, Qin Ge finished taking Yuan Zheng's pulse and said, "It is indeed quite strange, but I can cure it."

"Are you sure you can give me the black jade once I'm cured?"

Although the cause of the illness is unknown, Qin Ge discovered that there are two opposing forces of cold and heat within Yuan Zheng's body. If he can use his spiritual energy to devour or expel them from his body, Yuan Zheng should be able to recover without medication.

"Really?" Yuan Mengjie was both surprised and delighted, quite astonished that Qin Ge would give such a conclusion so firmly.

Is it really as he said, 100%?

Qin Ge glared at her, displeased. "Are you questioning my medical skills or my character?"

Yuan Mengjie smiled. This was the right flavor. With such a strong temper, it was definitely going to be a sure thing!

She cast an inquiring glance at her father, Yuan Bingwen, while everyone else's eyes were focused on Yuan Bingwen, clearly indicating that he was the one in charge of the Yuan family.

Yuan Bingwen stepped forward. "Then I'll trouble Doctor Qin to treat him. If you can cure my father, I promise I will keep my word!"

"I'll have someone arrange whatever needs to be prepared immediately."

"Great!" Qin Ge asked someone to bring paper and pen and made a list, which was full of various precious and rare medicinal materials.

"Go and get ready!"

"The rest of you, please leave. I'm going to begin the treatment."

He glanced at Yuan Mengjie and said, "If you're worried about me being here alone, you can let her stay."

Yuan Bingwen and the others were all dumbfounded after reading the list written by Qin Ge.
