I attained immortality through meditation in the Great Qian Dynasty.

Zhang Laizi felt a surge of heat in his crotch and almost couldn't hold it in.

This is a monster!

Zhao Zian walked towards Zhang Laizi.

"You...you stay away!"

Zhang Laizi's legs went weak, and he slumped into the armchair.

Zhao Zian walked to the table and looked down at him.

"IOU".

Zhang Laizi frantically reached into his pocket.

"Ah! It's...it's here!"

He took out the IOU that read "fifty-eight taels" and handed it over respectfully.

Zhao Zian took it and confirmed that it was the Zhao family's card.

The IOU was torn to pieces.

After doing all this, Zhao Zian put the gold ingots and silver ingots back into his pocket.

Not a single copper coin was left.

Zhang Laizi's heart ached terribly, but he dared not utter a single word.

money?

I'm about to die, what do I need money for!

The two walked in the alley on their way home, neither of them speaking.

Li Suqin's mind was a complete mess.

Was the man who knocked down five strong men with a single punch and kick really Zi'an?

"Zian..."

"You...how could you...?"

Zhao Zian stopped and turned to look at her.

"Is my sister-in-law asking me why I know those martial arts skills?"

Li Suqin nodded.

Zhao Zian had already prepared his explanation.

The idea of ​​ancestral teachings being passed down is too far-fetched; if I told anyone, they'd just think I was crazy.

"After I recovered from my illness, I always felt like I had inexhaustible energy. Later, I found a boxing manual in an old book box at home, so I practiced it and it actually worked quite well."

He explained it in a half-truthful way.

Li Suqin was stunned.

Is it really that simple?

But that's too amazing! Zhang Laizi's men are all skilled fighters.

"That's...that's all?"

"Hmm, maybe it's because I have a special talent."

Zhao Zian made a joke.

Another image flashed uncontrollably through Li Suqin's mind.

That night...

They added something to Zi'an's herbal medicine.

Later, he became incredibly strong and pinned me to the bed...

after that……

Li Suqin blushed deeply, lowered her head, and walked forward.

"Sister-in-law, please slow down."

The next day, as dawn broke, Zhao Zian got up.

He arrived at Jishengtang alone.

As soon as Zhao Zian stepped through the gate, the old accountant saw him.

"Dr. Zhao! Why are you here so early?"

The pharmacy fell silent for a moment.

All eyes were on Zhao Zian.

Who is this young man?

How could Sun, the accountant, treat him with such courtesy?

"Mr. Sun, you're too kind. I'm here to give the proprietress a follow-up examination." Zhao Zian cupped his hands in greeting.

"Of course! Of course!"

Sun, the accountant, was more hunched over than usual.

"The proprietress instructed me early this morning that you should go straight to the second floor when you arrive, and she will be waiting for you in the side room."

"This way, miracle doctor."

Zhao Zian stepped onto the wooden stairs to the second floor.

Accountant Sun led him to the door of the side room from yesterday.

"Please come, doctor. I'll be waiting downstairs. Please let me know if you need anything."

After saying that, he withdrew.

Zhao Zian pushed open the door.

Su Mei was sitting by the window, holding a book in her hands.

Hearing the door open, she put down her book.

"You've arrived."

"The proprietress looks much better today," Zhao Zian said as he walked over.

"Yes, thanks to you."

Su Mei stood up.

"Last night was the most restful night's sleep I've had in years. The bone-chilling coldness I felt was mostly gone. Dr. Zhao, I truly don't know how to thank you enough."

"If you take someone's money, you should help them solve their problems; that's your job."

Zhao Zian took out his needle case from his bosom.

"Get ready, this is the second acupuncture treatment today."

"it is good."

Without the slightest hesitation, Su Mei walked towards the canopy bed in the inner room.

Lifting the gauze curtain, Su Mei lay on her side on the bed, still covered with the brocade quilt.

"Thank you for your help, Dr. Physician."

Zhao Zian nodded.

"Today's acupuncture technique is different from yesterday's. Yesterday, we used the 'Burning Mountain Fire' technique, employing a strong method to expel the lesions. However, since the root of the disease has already been affected, using strong medicine again might damage your fundamental health. Today, I will use the 'Penetrating Heaven Cooling' technique to guide pure Qi into the body and nourish the damaged meridians."

A strange light flashed in Su Mei's eyes.

A forest fire ignites, bringing a refreshing coolness.

These are all acupuncture techniques recorded only in ancient books, which have been lost for a hundred years.

Even an ordinary master of traditional Chinese medicine can establish their own school of thought if they understand just one or two of these principles.

But this young man in front of me did it with ease.

Who exactly is he?

He made his move, inserting silver needles into several acupoints on Su Mei's back.

Su Mei was so comfortable that she almost groaned out loud.

Fifteen minutes later.

Zhao Zian raised his hand, and several silver needles flew out from the acupoints and landed in his outstretched palm.

"alright."

Su Mei sat up in bed.

An unprecedented feeling of lightness spread throughout my body.

"His medical skills are beyond comprehension!"

Su Mei got out of bed, went to the outer room, made a cup of tea for Zhao Zi'an, and presented it with both hands.

"Dr. Zhao, please have some tea."

Zhao Zian took the teacup and took a sip.

Su Mei stopped beating around the bush and got straight to the point.

"Dr. Zhao, I have a favor to ask."

"Please speak, ma'am."

"I would like to invite the legendary healer to my Jishetang clinic to serve as the resident physician."

Zhao Zian put down his teacup and looked at Su Mei.

A resident doctor?

This was something he hadn't expected.

His original plan was simply to cure Su Mei's illness and receive a substantial sum of money for her medical treatment.

Entering Jishetang meant being bound.

Su Mei noticed his silence.

"Don't be so quick to refuse, miracle doctor."

"I know that with your abilities, a mere Jishetang is probably not worthy of your attention."

"But would the miracle doctor like to hear my conditions?"

Zhao Zian gestured for her to continue.

"I'll give you 30% of Jishetang's share."

Even though Zhao Zian was prepared, he was still surprised by Su Mei's words.

Su Mei continued.

"You are not my employee, but my boss, another master of this Jishetang. You don't need to come to sit in the clinic every day. You are free to come and go as you please. You can see patients when you want to, and no one can force you if you don't want to."

"And all the medicinal herbs in Jishetang's medicine storehouse, no matter how precious, whether it's thousand-year-old ginseng or hundred-year-old he shou wu, you can take them freely without paying a penny!"

All medicinal herbs are available for your use!

The Shennong Valley Classic that he inherited contains countless ancient elixir formulas.

He was just wondering where to find these rare and precious materials when Su Mei presented them to him.

"Why is the proprietress so generous to me? Isn't she afraid I'm a conman, or... that she has ulterior motives?"

Su Mei burst out laughing upon hearing this.

She moved gracefully and walked up to Zhao Zian.

The two were only a short distance apart.

Su Mei did not stop there. She leaned forward slightly and boldly placed a jade-like finger on Zhao Zi'an's chest.

Zhao Zian's body stiffened instinctively.

"fraud?"

"If there were a fraudster like Doctor Zhao in the world, I would be willing to be fooled by you for the rest of my life."

"As for having ulterior motives..."

She deliberately dragged out her words.

"I'd very much like to know, with Doctor Zhao's skills, what could he possibly be plotting against someone as plain as me?"

"Are they after me, or... my Jishetang pharmacy?"
