74: Chapter 74: Secret Recipe 74: Chapter 74: Secret Recipe Su Yifei knew his sister’s thoughts and couldn’t help but laugh “ha ha” as he saw her face turn red. Su Linglong felt the odd looks from others and heard her brother’s mocking laughter. In shame and haste, she stamped her foot and pinched Su Yifei hard. Fang Gang and Yang Mei exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with joy and worry. They were happy because Su Linglong had a gentle nature, was youthful and charming, and she was very fond of their son. If the two could be together, it would be a great blessing. However, they were worried because Su Linglong came from a wealthy family, while their own family was just ordinary citizens. seaʀᴄh thё NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The disparities between their households meant it would be difficult for the two to end up together—they could probably only remain friends. “Fang Bai, I’m heading back to Yanjing. When can the scar on your back be completely gone? Can you give me an exact time? I’m not getting any younger; I can’t wait for you for ten or eight years,” said Qian Haoduo. Knowing that Fang Bai’s injuries would heal with some rest over time, Qian Haoduo didn’t plan on staying any longer and clamored. “Within one year, you will see a miracle. If the scars are still on my body after a year, I will take you as my master and learn medicine from you.” “Ha ha, it’s settled then! If you don’t come to find me in one year, I will come to you. I’ve taken you as my disciple!” laughed Qian Haoduo before leaving loudly. In his view, the scars on Fang Bai’s back could fade over time, but to completely vanish and have the skin return to its original state would require a miracle. “Qian Haoduo is a leading authority in Huaxia’s medical field, an extraordinary physician. There are countless doctors worldwide who wish to take him as their master. It’s a golden opportunity for you that comes once in a millennium. Why would you refuse?” asked Tang Chongshan, smiling as he watched Qian Haoduo take his leave. Tang Chongshan’s interest in Fang Bai grew. This young man, skilled in both medicine and martial arts, had even caught the National Doctor’s attention enough to consider taking him as a disciple, surely a rare talent to come by. Before Fang Bai could answer, Su Yifei interjected, “Uncle Tang, do you think a person who can cure brain tumors still needs to learn medicine from others?” Tang Chongshan then remembered that Fang Bai had cured Su Linglong’s brain tumor, creating a medical miracle, although he suspected there must’ve been some luck involved. Su Yifei continued, “Not to look down on Qian Haoduo, but when my sister had a brain tumor, we asked him for help and he said he couldn’t cure it. The other three National Doctors also said they were powerless. Yet, in the end, Fang Bai successfully healed my sister’s tumor and pulled her back from the brink of death. So, in my eyes, Fang Bai’s medical skills are the best in the world. It would be more appropriate for others to learn from him!” Su Yifei’s words immediately gained Su Linglong’s endorsement. Not too long ago, when Su Linglong learned she had a brain tumor and doctors around the world declared helplessness, it felt like the apocalypse to her. Then, like a savior, Fang Bai appeared and snatched her life back from the hands of death with just a few silver needles and some herbal medicine. Su Linglong was filled with gratitude toward Fang Bai, which then turned into affection. If repaying the life-saving favor required her to commit herself to him, Su Linglong would not have any resistance whatsoever. And if anyone dared to say Fang Bai’s medical skills weren’t the best in the world, Su Linglong would surely be the first to stand up in opposition. The Su siblings’ protective feelings towards Fang Bai were obviously discernible to Tang Chongshan. He didn’t underestimate Fang Bai; he simply felt that Fang Bai was too young. No matter how skilled his medical expertise might be, how could it possibly surpass that of Qian Haoduo, who had been steeped in medicine for decades and was known as the “Divine Doctor”? Although he wanted to defend Qian Haoduo, he realized that even his own daughter looked at him with a trace of dissatisfaction. Thus, he chose to keep silent and could only offer a bitter smile while shaking his head. Before leaving, Qian Haoduo said that Fang Bai’s condition was no longer serious. Everyone’s anxiety was eased, and after speaking with Fang Bai by his bedside for a while, they left temporarily at the urging of the medical staff to allow Fang Bai to rest and recuperate in peace. “Dad, don’t leave yet.” Fang Bai called his father, Fang Gang, who looked at him in confusion. Fang Bai said with a smile, “I’m going to recite a couple of prescriptions. Could you help me gather some herbs?” “Gather herbs?” Fang Gang asked curiously. “What for?” “For healing,” Fang Bai said. “Once you’ve gathered the herbs, prepare an ointment and boil a medicinal concoction according to my instructions, for external and internal use. In three to five days, my injuries will be mostly healed.” Fang Gang knew his son had met a master, learning not only formidable martial arts but also superb medical techniques. Therefore, he didn’t doubt his son’s words and fetched paper and pen to take notes as Fang Bai dictated. “Dad, these are healing secrets taught to me by a master. You must keep them safe. Our family’s future wealth and prosperity could depend on them!” After his father had finished writing down the prescriptions, Fang Bai had him bring the paper over to check it for accuracy. Once confirmed, he said with a smile. Fang Bai was not boasting. The ointment made from his prescriptions was definitely more effective than Qian Haoduo’s “Green Jade Healing Salve” for treating external injuries; the medicinal concoction made from his guidelines was also more effective than any other medicine in the world for internal injuries. The only regret was that the herbs required for these two prescriptions were extremely rare and expensive, and if it weren’t for the three hundred thousand reward previously sent by the Zhongzhou police, Fang Bai would not have been able to afford them. Upon hearing his son’s words, Fang Gang treasured the prescriptions as if they were precious gems, carefully storing them away—if they were as miraculous as his son claimed, the Fang family might soar to great heights and become renowned. “Some of these medicines might not be available at pharmacies in Zhongzhou City. You could ask Su Yifei for help in acquiring them. If money is an issue, just tell him I’ll owe it to him for now and will pay him back later. I think Su Yifei will be glad to help.” Before Fang Gang left, Fang Bai said this to him. Fang Gang nodded and walked out of the hospital room with the prescriptions in hand. Once everyone had left, the hospital room quieted down. “Such a small-scale explosion actually caused me serious injuries, leaving me unconscious for an entire day and night… My body is still too weak! Once I heal, I must increase the difficulty of my physical training and strive to reinforce my body into real steel and iron as soon as possible!” As Fang Bai lay on the hospital bed, he looked at the pristine ceiling and smiled before closing his eyes and beginning to circulate the “Dragon-Tiger-Lion-Elephant Technique,” driving the True Yuan to flow through the meridians and blood vessels in his body. Qian Haoduo’s “Green Jade Healing Salve” was indeed an excellent remedy, and after a day, Fang Bai felt some itching on his back, a sign that the wounds were scabbing over.
