Sweeping Through Martial Arts: My Clone's Extraordinary Talent

in the secret room.

Shen Han simultaneously used four silver needles to move around on eight acupoints on Cao Ziping's chest.

Their movements were light and swift.

His superb medical skills allowed him to perform the task with ease and without breaking a sweat.

The onlookers were all amazed.

"Will this... work?"

"I've never heard of using four needles at the same time."

"I hope it will turn out well..."

Feng Hao was the only exception; he had long been immune to it.

In clinic number thirteen, for Senior Brother Shen, treating illnesses with silver needles was just a piece of cake.

Half an hour later, Shen Han pulled out the silver needle.

"Look! The gang leader looks better!"

The maid suddenly cried out in surprise.

Indeed, a faint hue had returned to Cao Ziping's withered face. His skin began to ripple, and his breathing became heavier.

"Give the gang leader some water!"

A maidservant hurriedly brought over warm water.

Shen Han stopped her, saying, "No, Chief Cao is very weak right now and cannot drink water or eat."

"what?"

Everyone is puzzled.

Shen Han said seriously, "As the saying goes, the moon wanes after it is full. If you drink water, it will increase the burden on Chief Cao's body, and it will be a loss."

Meng Songyun walked over: "Then what should we do?"

"I will prescribe two medicines. Chief Cao's injuries are serious, so we must be careful. Therefore, the medicine for morning and evening will be different. Just get the medicine according to the prescription and have Chief Cao take it."

"Okay, then prescribe the medicine quickly."

Meng Songyun had someone bring over a writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, which were placed on a boxwood table to the side.

Shen Han didn't move.

He glanced at Meng Songyun, then sat down to the side and slowly arranged the silver needles.

"Dr. Shen?"

Meng Songyun frowned.

Shen Han said calmly, "Manager Meng, before coming to your gang, I made two requests."

Meng Songyun immediately snorted, "One hundred taels for each consultation fee, I know!"

"There's one more."

Shen Han took out a piece of paper from his pocket. "I would like to ask you to help me purchase some medicinal herbs, just these thirteen kinds."

To everyone's surprise, Meng Songyun didn't even glance at it and said directly, "Prescribe a medicine to treat the gang leader first; we can talk about buying the medicine later!"

Shen Han shook his head: "That won't work."

"Heh, Doctor Shen, you dare to act presumptuously in the Green Robe Gang?"

"No, I didn't ask for an exorbitant price; I just made the requests we had agreed upon beforehand."

"What if I don't agree?"

Meng Songyun clenched his fist instantly.

Shen Han remained calm and smiled, saying, "You don't agree? No problem. I'll just waive the hundred taels for the consultation fee. As for Chief Cao's injury, your gang should find someone else to treat him."

Feng Hao, standing nearby, was greatly alarmed. "Senior Brother Shen, when you're under someone's roof, it's wise to be pragmatic!"

Little did he know that Shen Han dared to say such a thing for a very simple reason: Cao Ziping's injuries were extremely severe, practically guaranteeing his survival, and no one but Shen Han could cure him.

"You dare threaten me?"

Meng Songyun was furious.

Shen Han coldly replied, "I'm just a lowly doctor, how dare I threaten your esteemed gang? However, Manager Meng, you've been making things difficult for me in every way, seemingly unconcerned about Chief Cao's life or death?"

"Nonsense!"

Meng Songyun roared in fury.

He bared his teeth, his eyes blazing with fury, and was about to step forward and take down Shen Han.

"stop!"

No sooner said than done, Cao Lin arrived.

"Young Master..."

Everyone hurriedly bowed in respect, and Meng Songyun had no choice but to stop.

Cao Lin coldly shouted, "How dare you fight in front of my father's sickbed!"

The maids were so frightened that they quickly knelt down.

"Young Master Cao, if your gang's agreed conditions are not valid, I have nothing more to say. Please allow the two of us to leave."

Shen Han cupped his hands in greeting to Cao Lin.

Cao Lin asked with a stern face, "What makes you say that, Physician Shen?"

He walked a few steps to the bedside and immediately noticed the change in Cao Ziping, exclaiming in surprise, "It's only been half an hour, and my father's condition has improved so much?"

The maidservant hurriedly said, "Reporting to the young master, just now, Physician Shen gave you acupuncture."

Cao Lin turned to Shen Han and exclaimed, "Doctor Shen truly lives up to his reputation! What should we do next?"

Shen Han calmly said, "Two acupuncture treatments will be given each day at Chen Shi (7-9 AM) and You Shi (5-7 PM), along with medicine taken in the morning and evening. In three days at most, Chief Cao will be able to circulate his internal energy on his own."

"Three days?"

Cao Lin was overjoyed.

Meng Songyun hurriedly said, "Young Master, that's why I had Physician Shen prescribe medicine to cure you first..."

"Dr. Shen, where is the prescription?"

Cao Lin's tone softened.

Shen Han said, "As I said before, I want to study Chinese herbal medicines for treating diseases and saving lives, so I need to buy some uncommon medicinal materials."

"What kind of medicinal herb is it?"

That's all.

Shen Han handed Cao Lin a piece of paper listing the ingredients and dosage of the Marrow Cleansing and Tendon Strengthening Water.

Cao Lin glanced at it: "What's so difficult about that? My Green Robe Gang has close ties with medicine merchants, so we can get it easily."

Supervisor Meng, please get on it right away!

Regarding the price of medicinal herbs, it is calculated based on cost price.

"Your subordinate obeys."

Meng Songyun glared fiercely at Shen Han, took the paper, and hurriedly left the secret room.

Cao Lin turned around: "Doctor Shen, can I prescribe the medicine now?"

"No problem at all."

Shen Han sat down at the table and began to write on the paper.

Before long, the two doses of medicine were prescribed.

"Young Master Cao, I have specially adjusted the dosage according to your physical condition. I have simmered the medicine for 30% longer, and you will take the medicine in the morning and evening separately."

"Aren't you going to get the prescription and medicine yet?"

Cao Lin immediately gave instructions to another maid.

After a flurry of activity, the group emerged from the stone house and arrived at the dining hall that Cao Lin had arranged.

Feng Hao's admiration was boundless.

Despite being at a disadvantage and limited in every way, Senior Brother Shen single-handedly turned the tide. He was incredibly powerful and domineering! I could never have done that!

Meng Songyun arrived after I had only eaten a few bites of food.

"How is it? Have the medicinal herbs that Doctor Shen wrote down on the paper been prepared?"

Cao Lin put down his chopsticks and asked.

Meng Songyun reported: "Young Master, all the other medicinal herbs are readily available, but we need to go and get the three herbs—Tongtiancao, Linpi, and Huzhonggen—on short notice."

Just as I thought... Shen Han thought to himself.

Manager Qiao of Hua'an Hall was right; those three medicines were indeed rare, and even the Green Robe Gang couldn't obtain them immediately.

"How many days?" Cao Lin asked again.

"I estimate it will be ready in about three days."

After Meng Songyun finished speaking, his expression immediately changed. "But the price of the medicinal herbs..."

Shen Han smiled: "Manager Meng, please speak frankly."

"At cost price, one serving costs four taels of silver. May I ask, Doctor Shen, how many servings do you need?"

Four taels of silver?

Shen Han thought to himself, "Manager Qiao said it costs seven or eight taels per serving, so it seems the Green Robe Gang really isn't making any money at all."

"Then let's buy twenty-five servings, and pay for them with my one hundred taels of consultation fee."

"OK!"

And so, the matter came to an end.

Cao Lin smiled and poured Shen Han a cup of wine: "In that case, you two can stay at the guild for the next three days. I have already arranged for rooms to be prepared. Please take good care of my father's injuries."

Shen Han clasped his hands in thanks: "Thank you."

After dinner, the two checked into a luxury room.

As soon as the door closed, Feng Hao leaned closer: "Senior Brother Shen, I can't hold it in anymore!"
