The World's Number One Medical Hall

Chapter 101 Medicine on Demand

Dr. Zhu paused slightly, then looked up and saw that the young man's eyes were clear. He nodded and said, "Dr. Bai, your condition..."

Mo Bai smiled and said, "Dr. Zhu, there's no need to be cowardly. I am also a doctor and know that medicine cannot cure the dead. Since my heart meridian was severely injured two months ago, I have visited many famous doctors in search of a good remedy, but most of them have been unable to help. Even some senior doctors, after careful consideration, could only help me stay alive temporarily. Therefore, I am prepared. Dr. Zhu, please speak freely. I understand."

Upon hearing this, Doctor Zhu's eyes flickered with astonishment, and he almost blurted out, "Who's so amazing? You were on the verge of death, yet they managed to save your life?"

But he forced himself to keep those words from escaping his lips, because he clearly heard the young man say that it wasn't something one person could do alone, but rather something that some...

He inexplicably began to feel uneasy, as if all his efforts in medicine had been rendered worthless in an instant, since he was absolutely helpless in this situation.

"This injury has been there for two months?" Despite feeling uncomfortable, Dr. Zhu forced a smile and tried to sound natural.

"Indeed, two months ago, I fought with someone, but unfortunately, I was outmatched and my heart meridian was severed by a single palm strike!" Mo Bai nodded and said with a wry smile.

"Then, I wonder, which renowned doctors prescribed medicine for you during these two months?" Two months. Dr. Zhu took a deep breath. In this situation, he had actually managed to save his life for two months.

One cannot help but believe that there are indeed many people in the world who surpass him in the art of medicine, but this really broke my understanding and I couldn't help but ask for more details.

Mo Bai knew exactly what he was thinking, but he smiled and said, "Before, I mainly traveled from Beihe to Mingzhu, visiting doctors all over the place, even in the homes of barefoot doctors in the villages. I prescribed medicine for many of them, but in the end, very few of them were able to completely improve my condition..."

Barefoot doctor?

Dr. Zhu lowered his head, covered his face, and coughed twice to hide his inner frustration.

Mo Bai raised his eyes, his gaze bright: "Even so, the path of medicine is endless. That's why, after hearing of your reputation in medicine, Doctor Zhu, I immediately came to seek you out, hoping to find a good remedy!"

"Hmm... Your condition is indeed a bit tricky. Well then, I wonder what combination of medicine you are currently using. Let me see if I can consider it." Doctor Zhu looked up, pretended to ponder for a while, and then spoke.

Upon hearing this, Mo Bai nodded without hesitation and said, "Doctor Zhu, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but the prescription I'm using now is one I wrote myself, and it's quite crude."

"You prescribed it?" Dr. Zhu's eyelids twitched again. He had no choice but to accept that there were many renowned doctors in the world who were better than him.

Among the barefoot doctors, there were some more capable than him, a physician renowned as a master in Mingzhu, and he silently endured it.

But how could this mere sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, still so immature, be stronger than me?

What's wrong with this world?

"I refuse to believe it!" Doctor Zhu took a deep breath and said no more. "Tell me what formula you used!"

"My savings have been insufficient to sustain me along the way, so I have no choice but to readjust the prescriptions, trying to keep the medicine as cheap as possible to barely keep me alive..."

Doctor Zhu remained silent, waiting for Mo Bai to finish speaking. Then, Mo Bai slowly pulled a prescription from his sleeve and handed it to him, saying, "Here, this is it. Please give me your guidance!"

Doctor Zhu certainly has the skills; otherwise, he wouldn't have such a great reputation. Holding the prescription handed to him by Mo Bai, his eyes flashed with thoughts as he analyzed the properties of the medicine.

To his surprise, he was greatly shocked. If someone had told him before that such a life-threatening disease could be cured, he would never have believed it.

Holding the prescription, he looked up with a complicated expression after a long while. He could distinguish the properties of each ingredient in the prescription, but he could not understand the combination of them in a short time.

However, he was certain that the prescription was indeed tailored to Mo Bai's condition and was not fake.

His eyes gleamed. Although he had not yet tested the efficacy of this prescription, he had to admit in his heart that he could not prescribe this combination of medicines.

He slowly exhaled, maintaining his composure, and said, "Dr. Bai, I never imagined you would be so skilled at such a young age. You are truly remarkable!"

Mo Bai waved his hand, saying with a hint of helplessness, "I can only barely keep the lifeline going, but I am truly helpless when it comes to restoring vitality. If we cannot find a good solution, I am afraid I really will not be able to survive for more than two years."

At this point, he stood up, solemnly clasped his hands, and said, "Dr. Zhu, please do your best. If you can truly save my life, I will repay your life-saving grace with everything I have."

"No need for that, no need for that. We are all medical professionals, how could I not be attentive?" Doctor Zhu quickly stood up and personally removed Mo Bai's formalities.

After saying that, he glanced at the prescription again, his eyes sparkling, and then raised his head and said, "Well then, Doctor Bai, please don't be in a hurry. Even though I have some ideas, I still need to do more research. Please allow me to study it carefully before we talk about it."

When Mo Bai saw how tightly he held the prescription, he immediately understood that Doctor Zhu was determined to master this classic formula.

He certainly didn't mind; the prescription was meant to attract his attention. He immediately nodded and said, "Then I thank Doctor Zhu for his kindness. I will repay him handsomely once my condition improves!"

"Of course, of course, then let's leave it at that. I'll inform Dr. Bai as soon as I have the results!" Dr. Zhu stood up to see the guest out.

"Farewell!" Mo Bai cupped his hands in farewell, glanced at Doctor Zhu's face one last time, and then left with a smile.

Upon exiting the door and reaching the stairwell, Mo Bai saw Manager Wu about to go upstairs. A glint flashed in his eyes, and he stood outside the door, bowing slightly to Manager Wu: "Manager Wu, please continue with your work!"

"Mr. Changqing, have you finished your examination? I'm sure the situation is alright!" Manager Wu glanced at his face and saw him smiling. He assumed that Doctor Zhu had already prescribed a good remedy for him, so he raised his voice a few decibels.

"Yes, Dr. Zhu has agreed to help me with my research. After all my seeking medical help, I've finally met a real person. This is no small feat!" Mo Bai laughed loudly, clearly in a good mood.

"Congratulations, Mr. Changqing!" Manager Wu came upstairs, cupped his hands and said, "I have some matters to attend to, so I won't see you off, Mr. Changqing. Have a safe journey."

"Manager Wu, please wait a moment. I have something I'd like to discuss with you," Mo Bai said, stopping him with a slightly embarrassed expression.

"Oh, what is it you need, sir? Please speak freely. I will do my best to help you." When Manager Wu saw his expression, he felt a pang of anxiety. He remembered that Mo Bai had the same expression on his face when he told him about opening a shop across the street at the entrance of He Ji Restaurant that day.

"Ahem..." Mo Bai said with great embarrassment, "Manager Wu, you know my situation. Although I have been helped by you to open a business across the street, I have only treated one patient, Master Chu, so far. Originally, Master Chu gave me some consultation fees, but today He Ji Restaurant opened, and I have received a favor from He Ji Restaurant. How could I not express my gratitude? So today I spent some money on gifts, and now I have..."

Another loan request?

A strange look flashed in Manager Wu's eyes. After the incident with Master Chu, he and this young man had completely broken off relations. Why would this young man still come to him with these things?

He really couldn't understand what this young man was thinking.

He was acting so familiar with me, as if we were old friends discussing this matter. Could it be that he really didn't care about me tricking him?

impossible?

Even if he didn't believe Mo Bai could be completely without reservations, he would never lend money when it came to money.

Shopkeeper Wu simply chuckled, seemingly oblivious to Mo Bai's meaning, and said, "I see. Sir, you are indeed a man of great loyalty and righteousness!"

"You flatter me, you flatter me. It's only right and proper!" Mo Bai shook his head, then said with increasing embarrassment, "Let me be frank. My health requires constant medication, and the prescriptions I had last time were used up last night. I'm really short on cash right now. So, how about this: I'll get two prescriptions from your shop first, and after I go to Master Chu's house for my follow-up appointment tomorrow, I'll bring you the money for the medicine after receiving the consultation fee. Would you be so kind as to do me this favor?"

Mo Bai looked extremely dejected, his face flushed red, as if he were ashamed to be seen by others.

Need medicine on credit?
