Chapter 214: Chapter 214: I Only Need 3 Hours!
All the deans and experts, upon seeing Dong Qingshan’s deanor, began to sowhat believe Lin Fei’s words. Otherwise, why would Dong Qingshan look so panicked and uneasy?
Dong Qingshan never expected that the scandal he least wanted to recall would be exposed by Lin Fei, causing him to lose his composure.
Back then, while working as a cook for a wealthy family, the family’s elder fell seriously ill. They invited the dical Saint, Lin Zheng, to treat him, and he witnessed Lin Zheng’s miraculous dical skills firsthand.
Thus, he wanted to beco Lin Zheng’s apprentice to learn dicine, but Lin Zheng refused him.
In order to learn dicine and please the dical Saint, he went so far as to mimic cats and dogs and danced belly-dance to entertain Lin Zheng.
Perhaps he flattered too vigorously or in too tasteless a manner, but eventually, the dical Saint Lin Zheng gave him a dicine book.
It was by relying on this dicine book that he beca the dicine King he is today.
As for graduating from a famous dical university in the Capital City, it was rely a purchased diploma. As for studying under prominent dical figures, that was simply consulting a master of the field, and naming it as learning from a renowned teacher.
Given his long-standing fa and without soone like Jiang Zhouzi, an expert in exposing fraud, to debunk him, people naturally didn’t know he neither graduated from a prestigious school nor learned from a fad teacher.
What shocked Dong Qingshan more was that Lin Fei knew not only how he once flattered the dical Saint but even the na of the dicine book the dical Saint gave him. He even knew precisely about the pills he gave the old secretary.
Dong Qingshan’s face turned all sorts of shades as he looked at Lin Fei, asking in a mix of shock and anger: “Who exactly are you?”
Lin Fei calmly said, “Are you wondering how I know these things about you? You must have heard the saying, ‘If one doesn’t want others to know, one shouldn’t do it.’ It was no secret that you once flattered the dical Saint in that wealthy family.”
Cold sweat dripped from Dong Qingshan’s forehead as he averted his eyes, realizing that he was too focused on pleasing the dical Saint back then without being cautious of others. It’s inevitable that soone overheard and spread the tale.
The cat was out of the bag, and under pressure, he could only shalessly say, “That’s right, I indeed had so disgraceful monts back then, but exposing soone’s flaws and scars is not very honorable either! Moreover, my treatnt plan for the old secretary, slowly rehabilitating with pills over ti, isn’t improper. Do you have a better thod?”
Everyone who heard Dong Qingshan felt he had a point. Though he might have had so disgraceful past, it didn’t impact his ability to cure and save people. Plus, his high level of dical skill today is undeniable.
Lin Fei smiled faintly, “Dong Qingshan, it’s not that I wanted to expose your flaws and scars. It’s to respond to your claim that I lack qualifications. Since you also have no prestigious school and teacher qualifications, what grounds do you have to ridicule ?”
At these words, Dong Qingshan’s face flushed with embarrassnt, unable to respond. Indeed, he was the first to mock Lin Fei for lacking qualifications, and Lin Fei was rely paying him back in kind.
This caused the deans and experts who previously mocked Lin Fei to show awkward expressions as they realized their earlier ridicule might have been unwarranted.
Lin Fei continued, “Regarding treating the old secretary, just considering your dication, it shows that you haven’t fully comprehended the ‘Hundred Herbs dicine Manual’. The Cloud-dwelling Grass in the Brain and Heart Reviving Pill can indeed revitalize the brain, but the effect is extrely slow and requires about a year.
If you use Cloud-dwelling Grass along with Northern Red Pearl, freeze them for half a year, then add morning dew to concoct the Blood Circulation and Brain Recovery Pill, the old secretary could recover in just half a year.”
At Lin Fei’s words, Dong Qingshan felt enlightened, his eyes widening with an unusual gleam as he couldn’t help but exclaim, “Cloud-dwelling Grass, Northern Red Pearl, freeze for half a year, then add morning dew—why didn’t I think of that?”
The surrounding deans and experts couldn’t understand what Lin Fei ant by Cloud-dwelling Grass, Northern Red Pearl, freezing, and morning dew—it all sounded like an incomprehensible scripture to them.
However, to Dong Qingshan, it was like having a teacher dispel his doubts with a single sentence, leaving him unable to contain his excitent.
“Lin Fei, since you criticize my master’s thods as inadequate here and lacking there, you must have a better treatnt thod?” Just then, a slightly mocking voice sounded.
Lin Fei and everyone else followed the voice to find that it was Shen Tao speaking.
Dong Qingshan ca to his senses too. Despite being the dicine King of Huadu, having his dark past revealed by Lin Fei was bad enough. Now he had to endure Lin Fei’s critiques too—what happened to his dignity as the dicine King?
“Shen Tao is right. If you think my treatnt plan is inadequate, do you have a treatnt proposal?” Dong Qingshan asked Lin Fei coldly.
Everyone’s gaze was fixed on Lin Fei’s face.
Lin Fei said, “Of course, there is a way, but it’s quite an undertaking.”
Dong Qingyun asked, “What does that an?”
Lin Fei said, “It ans I can wake the old secretary, but it will take so ti.”
Deans Zhou, Chen, and Zheng were delighted to hear Lin Fei could treat the old secretary. Dean Chen couldn’t help but tell everyone, “Did you hear? Lin Fei said he can awaken the old secretary!”
Shen Tao scoffed coldly, “Dean Chen, we all heard it, but just saying he can awaken the old secretary is useless. Anyone can say that, but actually doing it is what counts.”
Dong Qingshan looked at Lin Fei, smirking coldly, “Shen Tao is right. Anyone can talk, but truly waking up the old secretary is what matters. What thod will you use to awaken the old secretary, and how long will it take?”
Lin Fei raised three fingers.
Dong Qingshan’s face imdiately lit up with a smile, “You need three years?”
Lin Fei shook his head.
Dong Qingshan’s smile vanished instantly, “You need three months?”
At the sa ti, a doubt arose in his mind: No way, even if he used the Blood Circulation and Brain Recovery Pill for the old secretary, he’d have to go to the northern regions to find the exceedingly rare and nearly untraceable Red Pearl.
Even if found, it needs to be frozen for half a year, weakening its intensity, before making the pill. This requires at least a year and a half to concoct the Blood Circulation and Brain Recovery Pill.
How could Lin Fei manage to do it in three months to cure the old secretary?
Yet Lin Fei’s shaking head made Dong Qingshan’s eyes widen: “Three days?”
Lin Fei said, “Three days is too long. I only need three hours. Three hours is my limit. If it takes longer than three hours, I would consider my dical skills unrefined.”
Dong Qingshan felt his face burn. Was Lin Fei mocking him?
All the deans and experts began discussing loudly, “What? Just three hours to wake the old secretary?”
“The dicine King would need a year, and he says he can do it in three hours?”
“Isn’t this boasting a bit too much?”
“Utter nonsense!” Dong Qingshan couldn’t help but shout, “Three hours—do you think you’re Hua Tuo reincarnated? Even Hua Tuo wouldn’t dare claim he could wake a vegetative person in three hours!”
