Just half an hour later, Tong Shan’s wife’s treatnt was finished. The elderly lady, who had been practically confined to her bed, was now standing up. She twisted her body and even perford a set of Taiji.
"She’s better! She’s really better!" Tong Wu, who had been reluctant to kneel just a mont ago, was now incredibly excited to see his mother’s health restored. He completely forgot about his earlier resentnt. "Divine Doctor Yang, if you ever have need of in the future, I will not hesitate to answer your call!" he declared loudly.
"You’re too kind. Just pay the consultation fee," Yang Qi said, waving his hand. He was genuinely tired after using the Golden Needle Acupoint technique twice in a row. It was an exhausting process, as every treatnt consud Spiritual Power.
"No problem, the dicinal herbs will be sent over soon," Tong Wu said. "By the way, Divine Doctor Yang, since you like herbs, there happens to be a dicinal materials auction in Sea City tonight, one specifically for Martial Artists. Would you be interested in attending?"
"A dicinal materials auction?" Yang Qi’s interest was imdiately piqued. He wished he could attend every auction; precious herbs were incredibly important to him.
"Of course I’ll go. Where is it?" Yang Qi asked.
"I’ll take you there tonight, Divine Doctor Yang," Tong Wu volunteered eagerly.
"Excellent! But first, let’s get Brother Liao’s grand opening underway," Yang Qi said with a smile.
"Wait a second!" Tong Wu glanced at Zhang Biao and sneered. "I hear you made a bet with Divine Doctor Yang, correct?"
"Well, Divine Doctor Yang has won. It’s ti for you all to pay up. That’s fifteen people, for a total of 1.5 billion!"
Zhang Biao was so stunned by Yang Qi’s miraculous dical Skills that he had almost forgotten about the bet. Rembering it now, a wave of regret washed over him. He wasn’t exceedingly wealthy, and 100 million was an agonizing amount for him to part with, a pain akin to cutting his own flesh. Zhang Biao forced an awkward smile. "A bet’s a bet. I’ll pay, I’ll definitely pay!"
He now understood how miraculous Yang Qi’s dical Skills were and didn’t dare to offend him any further. He could only hope that this 100 million might soften Yang Qi’s opinion of him. Biting the bullet, he admitted defeat and imdiately transferred 100 million into Yang Qi’s account.
When the other fourteen people saw Zhang Biao pay up, how could they dare to refuse? This was especially true with Tong Wu watching them. They couldn’t afford to provoke Tong Shan, and they certainly couldn’t afford to provoke Tong Wu.
A total of 1.5 billion was easily transferred into his account.
Yang Qi glanced at Zhang Biao. "What about your arm? Aren’t you going to get it treated?"
"My arm is a small matter. I’ll just find an orthopedic doctor," Zhang Biao said with a laugh.
"Is that so?" Yang Qi’s voice was cold. "Let warn you, an orthopedic doctor won’t be able to fix it. You can only co to for treatnt. But if you want my help, you’ll have to kneel and apologize first. I won’t tolerate your foul attitude." Yang Qi was determined to teach this classic example of ingratitude a lesson today.
Zhang Biao chuckled dryly, but he ultimately did not kneel. He turned and left, presumably to consult an orthopedic doctor.
anwhile, Tong Shan had invited many of his friends to co and show their support for Liao Fusheng. The grand opening ceremony was a trendous success. The Tianhai Hotel, which many had expected to go unnoticed, suddenly beca the talk of Sea City. After all, Tong Shan’s influence in the business world was imnse; almost no one in Sea City would dare to disrespect him.
During the banquet, Tong Shan even referred to Liao Fusheng as his brother, urging everyone to support his business. Of course, this was all out of respect for Yang Qi. If it had been just Liao Fusheng on his own, Tong Shan would have considered it a good day if he didn’t actively cause trouble for him. But since Liao Fusheng was Yang Qi’s brother, building a good relationship with him was the sa as building one with Yang Qi. Getting acquainted with a Divine Doctor who possessed not only superb dical Skills but also knew Alchemy was an incredible opportunity. It wasn’t just about having soone to turn to for treatnt; more importantly, it was about gaining access to Yang Qi’s network. A Divine Doctor could accumulate influential connections with incredible ease.
After the banquet ended, most of the guests left. However, those who had witnessed Yang Qi’s dical Skills firsthand stayed behind.
One of them stepped forward and asked awkwardly, "Divine Doctor Yang, could you... could you please take a look at my illness?"
Yang Qi glanced at him with a faint smile. "I’m just a Jianghu swindler. How would I know how to treat illnesses? You should go to a hospital, not ask ."
The man flushed with embarrassnt. He had been one of the people following Zhang Biao’s lead, mocking Yang Qi relentlessly and calling him a charlatan. Asking for his help now was beyond awkward. With a pained expression, the man pleaded, "Divine Doctor Yang, I’ve had a chronic stomach problem for decades. I’m never comfortable, and eating almost anything upsets my stomach. It’s truly agonizing. Please, help . I was blind, my heart was black. I never should have said those things about you."
"You have no sha! Get out of here!" Tong Shan was the first to erupt. "A person like you deserves to suffer for the rest of your life! Weren’t you the one yelling the loudest just now? And now you have the nerve to ask Divine Doctor Yang for treatnt? The world doesn’t work that way!
"Just shut your mouth! Since you believe he’s a charlatan, then don’t co begging him for help!"
The man’s face was a mask of regret. "I know I was wrong! I truly know! I’ll never do it again! Divine Doctor Yang, they say a Doctor’s heart is like a parent’s. Please, save !"
His plea made many others in the crowd eager. In this day and age, what older person didn’t suffer from so chronic ailnt? After witnessing Yang Qi’s miraculous dical Skills, they all wanted a chance. However, because of their previous attitude, they were too embarrassed and afraid to ask. But if Yang Qi agreed to treat this man, then they would surely voice their own requests.
Yang Qi sneered. "A Doctor’s heart is like a parent’s? Well, I have no such unfilial sons. And don’t you dare try to guilt-trip with morality. I’m not a full-ti Doctor; I treat patients based on my mood. As for people like you... you want my help? You’ll have to wait until I have ti, and you’ll have to pay ten tis the normal price."
"We’ll pay ten tis the price! We’ll pay! Just please take a look at us!" the crowd said hurriedly.
"I’ve already made myself clear," Yang Qi said calmly. "It’s not just about paying ten tis the price; you also have to wait until I have ti. If you want treatnt, go register with my Brother Liao. When I’m free, I’ll have him contact you."
"Can’t you take a look now? Just a quick consultation?" soone ventured.
"Scram!" Tong Shan roared. "You’re a shaless bunch! Divine Doctor Yang has already agreed to see you, which is more than you deserve. Why are you still pestering him? Go register and wait for news! It’s not like your illnesses are fatal. A few more days of suffering might teach you a lesson."
No one dared to say another word. They all hurried over to Liao Fusheng to register before scattering and leaving.
Yang Qi looked at Liao Fusheng. "Brother Liao, keep an eye on them. Let know if they act appropriately. If they don’t, just forget about it."
