Episode 22: Hundred Herb Needle

  After a very careful investigation, finally, under the leadership of Chen Zhenbang and his daughter, Li Yan stepped into the villa mansion. In the hall, you can still see many pots of fresh plants everywhere, except for a few potted landscapes, most of them are various medicinal herbs.

  Ganoderma, ginseng, He Shou Wu... With Li Yan's eyesight, it's not hard to discover that these are not some kind of tens or hundreds of years old heavenly and earthly spiritual medicine, but they are all purely wild medicinal herbs. In this era, they can be considered as relatively precious wild medicinal materials!

  In an instant, Li Yan's eyes couldn't help but shine with excitement. After all, these were the wild medicinal herbs he had been dreaming of, and they had enough potency and quantity to guarantee that if he wanted to, he could extract enough essence from them to refine a set of low-grade Hundred Herb Needles.

  "Dr. Li, this way please." Chen Zhenbang tried his best to maintain a sufficient smile, after all, the person in front of him was a lifesaver, and he couldn't be treated like anyone else.

  "Good." Since the medicine had been delivered, it would eventually be his own anyway, so Li Yan didn't show too much impatience. After all, he was a veteran who had stood at the top of the universe for countless years, and it wasn't easy for him to lose his composure so easily.

  Led by Chen Zhenbang, the group arrived at the second floor and walked onto the thickly carpeted corridor. The design of the entire villa, although not luxurious, had a kind of indescribable simplicity and elegance.

  Passing through the door guarded by four professional soldiers, Li Yan and Chen Zhenbang walked into the room. What caught their eyes was a luxurious ward beyond compare.

  As far as the eye can see, all the living facilities in the entire ward are complete, with a simple and atmospheric layout, showing the identity of this patient, which is not ordinary.

  The lighting and air circulation in the entire room are very good, with lush green plants making people feel comfortable. The old man lying on the hospital bed is the one who got sick in the park that day. At this time, the old man has woken up, but the detection probes and oxygen tubes all over his body make him look unwell.

  After seeing Li Yan enter the room, the old man's eyes widened uncontrollably, his lips moved as if to speak, but were stopped by the middle-aged female nurse guarding him. He couldn't move now, otherwise, if something went wrong, he would be held responsible.

  He nodded slightly to the old man, and Li Yan immediately nodded and said: "The condition is currently stable, but it's still a bit troublesome to cure. Find a quiet room, move all the medicinal herbs I need into it, and I'll make some preparations first. Before I'm ready, I hope you can sign the medical authorization guarantee for me."

  As they spoke, Li Yan directly walked out of the room. Although the other party's family background seemed to be not simple, it was also not in the eyes of a powerful immortal like him. After all, mortal family backgrounds and wealth would ultimately end up as empty halls after death, while he had an endless lifespan comparable to that of the sun, moon, and stars.

  Chen Zhenbang was surprised by Li Yan's decisiveness, which made him curious. As someone who had met many people, he knew that Li Yan's behavior was not pretentious, but a genuine attitude from the heart. This immediately reminded him of what his daughter had told him before, and suddenly believed her judgment about Li Yan having superb medical skills.

  Soon, Li Yan arrived in a room as he had wished. More than ten soldiers quickly brought in various fresh herbs they had collected and then retreated out of the room with respect.

  In the blink of an eye, this large room was left with only Li Yan alone, looking at the full house of medicinal herbs, even he couldn't help but reveal a satisfied smile on his face.

  Outside the door, Chen Zhenbang and Chen Nan were anxiously waiting for Li Yan. This was not the first time, but they had no choice. After all, in this world, no matter how prestigious a person's identity is, they will always show respect to two types of people: doctors who may be treating them or their relatives, and teachers of young children, mostly primary and junior high school students.

  Of course, for some people, there are also other professionals who will be more respected, such as their superiors or key figures in related power institutions. But these are all individual cases, and the situation varies from person to person. There are also people who do not take their superiors and leaders seriously at all.

  Everyone has a certain identity, and they can find doctors that match their identity. As long as they don't switch doctors, they will definitely have a very good attitude towards the doctor responsible for them. The more capable people are, the more personality they have, and doctors are no exception. Therefore, whoever it is, they will be very respectful and tolerant of their own doctor.

  After all, human life exists in this world, eating five grains and miscellaneous grains, not gods, naturally, no one dares to guarantee that they can avoid diseases for a lifetime. Otherwise, when the time comes and the disease demon attacks, if there is no doctor to treat it, then this joke will be quite big!

  As for elementary and middle school teachers, if they don't change schools or classes for the kids, anyone has to fawn on them because it affects the child's future. After all, in the eyes of most children at this age, what the teacher says carries even more weight than their parents' words.

  I don't remember which celebrity said it, but a child's childhood will extend and influence their entire life. Perhaps this statement is somewhat exaggerated, but it also shows the importance of this period for children. This is a stage that shapes a child's character, so a responsible teacher becomes especially important!

  At this moment, Li Yan belongs to this kind of special situation. The old man's condition is already very serious, and currently, the only one who can save his life is Li Yan alone. Therefore, Chen Zhenbang and others have no choice but to ask Li Yan to take action and treat him. He must use the most enthusiastic and courteous attitude towards Li Yan, and some even rude and excessive demands, he must also satisfy, let alone, Li Yan is just helping out at this time, and so far, has not even proposed any conditions related to interests.

  "Dad, you said that Dr. Li wants so many herbs for what purpose?" Chen Nang, although only a third-year high school student, didn't mean she had no experience at all. At least, she also knew that in traditional Chinese medicine treatment, the usual practice was to use well-made dried medicinal materials, and it was rare to use fresh herbs like Li Yan did.

  "Although I've been the mayor for many years, I'm not a doctor, so how would I know what Dr. Li has in mind?" Chen Zhenbang couldn't help but rub his forehead, feeling quite helpless.

  "Or shall we open the surveillance system and take a look?" Chen Zhenbang suggested helplessly.

  "Don't do it!" Dong Jian finally couldn't help but speak up, adjusting his expression. "Commander, don't do this, it will infuriate Dr. Li. Since ancient times, medicine and martial arts have been one family. If Dr. Li has such high attainments in Chinese medicine, he must also possess astonishing martial arts skills. Once the surveillance system is activated, it will inevitably provoke Dr. Li's dissatisfaction, and that would be a huge headache."

  "Is he really that formidable?" After all, Chen Zhenbang was just an ordinary person and couldn't understand the immense power possessed by Dong Jian, a master of ancient martial arts, which was absolutely beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

  Dong Jian nodded subconsciously and replied in a low voice, "Although, up to now, I have never really seen Dr. Li take action, but I can feel that if I were to fight with Dr. Li one-on-one, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to hold on for ten moves."

  "How is this possible?!" Upon hearing this, Chen Zhenbang was thoroughly stunned!

  Chen Nannan, the little girl, couldn't help but cover her own mouth, her face full of astonishment, as if she couldn't imagine that a boy about the same age as herself could possess such mysterious and unparalleled medical skills while also having such great strength...
