I attained immortality through meditation in the Great Qian Dynasty.

"After they poured the herbal medicine down his throat, Wang Yuanwai vomited even more violently! Later, his mouth and eyes became crooked, he couldn't speak clearly, and he just kept convulsing!"

"His wife was desperate and suddenly remembered what you said yesterday, so she decided to try anything, and asked me to come and fetch you right away!"

Zhao Zian nodded.

Sure enough.

When the heart fire attacks the heart and the liver yang rises excessively, and then one is further stimulated by great anger, the qi and blood flow backward and rush to the brain, how can one not fall down?

"Miracle doctor, are you confident?"

Sun the accountant asked.

"It was there the day before yesterday," Zhao Zian said casually.

Accountant Sun's heart skipped a beat.

Was it yesterday? What about today?

"Today, it depends on his fate and the sincerity of the Wang family."

He's not some pushover.

Two days ago, Wang Yuanwai publicly threatened to demolish his Jishetang.

Do I want him to save my life today?

can.

But the cost is not as simple as it was yesterday.

The Royal Family Residence.

Before the carriage had even come to a complete stop, the steward rushed over.

"Accountant Sun! Has the divine physician been summoned? Where is he?"

Accountant Sun helped Zhao Zian out of the carriage.

"Dr. Zhao is here! Lead the way now!"

"Miracle doctor! Quick! Please come in! The master... he can't hold on much longer!"

The lobby was packed with people.

The women, servants, and several elderly men who looked like doctors.

When Zhao Zian's excessively youthful face appeared at the door.

All sounds ceased abruptly.

"Is he the miracle doctor that Accountant Sun mentioned?"

A young man in fine clothes frowned.

"Too young...you're too inexperienced to be reliable."

"I recognize him! He's the one who cursed Wang Yuanwai!" a servant pointed at Zhao Zian.

Among the crowd, three elderly men exchanged a glance.

They were the renowned doctors from the southern city who had been invited last night but were at a loss for what to do.

One of them was an old man with a goatee, known as Doctor Liu.

"You ignorant brat, how dare you swindle and deceive people here!"

"Wang Yuanwai's condition is due to wind invading the meridians and evil entering the brain. He is already at the end of his life! We have practiced medicine for decades and are still unable to save him. How dare you, a mere youth, presume to call yourself a miracle doctor?"

Wang Yuanwai's eldest son, Wang Cong, had bloodshot eyes.

"It's you! You jinx!"

"The other day you cursed my father, and today your lies have come true! Now you dare to come to our door, are you here to laugh at the Wang family?!"

"I've seen plenty of swindlers like you! You're just trying to take advantage of people's misfortunes! Let me tell you, even if the Wang family throws all our money into the water, we won't give you a single copper coin!"

"Someone come here!"

Wang Cong waved his hand.

"Get this swindler out of here! Beat him with sticks!"

Several servants gathered around.

"No! No! Doctor Zhao is truly skilled!"

The housekeeper intervened.

"Get out of here!"

Wang Cong shoved the butler aside.

"Anyone who dares to stop me today, we'll beat them all up!"

The stick was about to fall.

"stop!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Wang Yuanwai's wife, Madam Chen, running out.

"Get out of my way!"

The servants stopped what they were doing.

"Mother! What are you doing?!"

Wang Cong was both anxious and angry.

"This liar cursed my father, why are you still protecting him?"

Ignoring her son, Chen knelt down in front of Zhao Zian.

"A miracle doctor!"

"Please, please save my husband! Please!"

"If you can save his life, our Wang family is willing to serve you like cattle and horses, repaying your great kindness with utmost devotion!"

Wang Cong tried to pull his mother up, but Chen shook him off.

"Mother! Have you gone mad?! How could you kneel before such a person! You've completely disgraced the Wang family!"

The old doctors even wore mocking expressions.

Mrs. Chen was so desperate that she pinned her hopes on a swindler.

Zhao Zian walked past her and went to the bedside in the inner room.

On the bed, Wang Yuanwai lay with his eyes closed, his face cyanotic, and his mouth crooked.

Zhao Zian extended two fingers and placed them on Wang Yuanwai's wrist.

Touch and go.

Then, he pried open Wang Yuanwai's eyelids.

Zhao Zian had already made up his mind.

The situation was worse than he had anticipated.

These quack doctors used medications haphazardly, causing the blood and qi to flow in reverse, which worsened the condition.

Phlegm obstructs the mind, and the blockage in the brain is quite severe.

If this drags on any longer, even if a celestial being were to arrive, they could only save a lifeless corpse.

"Save him, okay."

Chen looked up.

"Miracle doctor! You...you really have a way?"

Zhao Zian extended his finger.

"But I have two conditions."

"The consultation fee is ten thousand taels of silver. Pay first, then receive treatment."

The room was filled with the sound of gasps of shock.

Ten thousand taels of silver!

This isn't a consultation fee; this is outright robbery!

Even the best house in the southern part of the city costs no more than two or three thousand taels of silver.

He asked for ten thousand taels of silver right off the bat; he's absolutely insane!

Wang Cong pointed at Zhao Zi'an and cursed.

"You're delusional! My father isn't even dead yet, and you dare ask for ten thousand taels of silver to buy his life?!"

Accountant Sun was also startled and tugged at Zhao Zian's sleeve.

Zhao Zian, however, seemed not to hear.

"After Wang Yuanwai recovers, he must personally walk to the door of my Jishetang."

"Kneel three times and kowtow nine times to apologize to me."

If the first condition is to take advantage of someone's misfortune, then the second condition is to destroy their spirit!

Aside from the dignified Wang Dayuan, he was a prominent and wealthy merchant in the southern part of the city.

Go and kneel and kowtow three times to apologize to some unknown kid? And then admit you were blind?

"You're dreaming!"

Wang Cong lost control.

"The reputation of my Wang family is more important than my father's life! Don't even think about it!"

"Arrogant! Utterly arrogant!"

Doctor Liu was so angry that his beard was trembling.

"How dare they make such an insulting demand! They have absolutely no medical ethics! They are unworthy of being called doctors!"

Only Chen remained kneeling on the ground, motionless.

The Wang family could afford ten thousand taels of silver.

Although it hurts, it's worth it for her husband's life.

But this second condition...

She knows what kind of person her husband is; he values ​​face the most and regards dignity as his life.

"Miracle doctor, could we change the second condition? We can increase the price..."

Zhao Zian shook his head.

"cannot."

"The other day, he cut off my path to survival. Did he ever consider leaving me even the slightest chance?"

"Today, I simply want my justice and my reputation back. It's fair."

"Madam, you need to think this through. Is your life more important, or your reputation?"

"My patience is limited."

Doctor Liu approached Madam Chen.

"Madam, do not trust him! This man is wicked! Wang Yuanwai, he... Alas, you should prepare yourself as soon as possible."

Wang Cong also knelt down beside his mother.

"Mother! We can't agree to that! If Father finds out, he'll hate us for the rest of his life! We can't let him suffer this humiliation even after he's dead!"

Chen gritted her teeth.

"I agree!"

"I agree to everything!"

Wang Cong looked at his mother in disbelief.

Zhao Zian opened his eyes.

"very good."

"Now, please get all irrelevant people out."
