Looking at Vulture's animated expression, Luo Chao thought to himself, "Yeah, from now on, you won't be called Vulture anymore, but Bald Bird!"
Earlier, Luo Chao pretended to treat Vulture's hair loss, but actually accelerated the hair loss with acupuncture.
Within half an hour, Vulture's remaining hair would bid him a complete farewell.
Sun Bowen, seeing Vulture referring to Luo Chao as the "Divine Doctor," completely dismissed his doubts and quickly donned a smile, approaching Luo Chao.
"Master, quickly take a look at my condition! My taste is clearly not right now, eating anything spicy feels like I've eaten a ball of fire, eating anything salty feels like swallowing a mouthful of salt... the taste is simply worse than death, I haven't really eaten anything since last night, if I'm hungry, the most I can eat is a couple mouthfuls of plain rice porridge."
Upon hearing this, Luo Chao's lips curved slightly behind his mask.
This kind of taste is indeed very hard to endure for Sun Bowen, a spoiled brat used to indulging in delicacies.
"Your problem, I've heard of it, and treated it before; it's called taste dysfunction disorder!" Luo Chao said with a serious tone.
"YesYesYes! Dysfunction! It must be dysfunction, Master, please save !" Upon hearing Luo Chao say he's treated this disease before and even pulled out a professional term, Sun Bowen begged incessantly, like he'd found a savior.
"For your condition, I can treat it, but it requires a rare dicinal herb as the prir. Rare herbs, you know, are very expensive; not sure if you can afford it..."
"How much! Master, you just na the price, I, Sun Bowen, lack nothing but Money!"
Speaking of money, a sense of pride appeared on Sun Bowen's face.
Luo Chao devilishly smiled and pulled out three Facing Heaven Peppers from his pocket.
"It's this herb, and its scientific na is Gongbiyas Holy Fruit, produced in South Arica, within the volcanic crater of Gongbiyas Duchy. Only ten pieces are produced annually, and I got hold of three thanks to so big shot connections!"
Luo Chao's nonsense was deeply witnessed by Jiang Lianqing.
These otherwise ordinary Facing Heaven Peppers were exaggeratedly called Holy Fruit by Luo Chao, which confused Jiang Lianqing, but he dared not question further since Luo Chao was his newly pledged master.
"Good! Truly a Holy Fruit, this color, so red and festive! I like it! Master, just na your price, I, Sun Bowen, absolutely Like these limited editions!"
Sun Bowen had never seen Facing Heaven Peppers and actually thought they were Gongbiyas Holy Fruit.
"How about this, I'm not going to swindle you; since we are both from Huaxia, I'll price it at ten thousand US dollars each!"
"Ten thousand US dollars each? That would be six hundred thousand Huaxia Coin! Such a precious herb, three pieces only cost one million eight hundred thousand! Too little, it's too little!" Sun Bowen shook his head, "Master, let round it up for you, two million Huaxia Coin, I'll take all three!"
"Alright then, since you are so sincere, I'll treat you now. I have to catch a plane later to treat a president from a small country abroad! I'm so busy!"
"Oh, okay, okay, Master, you are busy, let's save Ti, please treat quickly!"
Sun Bowen eagerly pleaded, feeling at ease when he heard Luo Chao was going to treat another country's president.
In his mind, being able to spend an extra two hundred thousand Huaxia Coin to connect with such a divine doctor was a blessing cultivated from his past life!
Seeing Sun Bowen completely drop his guard, Luo Chao said no more and pulled out his silver needle, pricking him at the back neck acupuncture point.
"Ouch, Master, didn't you say treating my condition requires eating the Holy Fruit? Why did you prick with a needle?" Sun Bowen touched his slightly painful neck, looking confused as he vaguely recognized this sensation.
"I'm sealing your taste because Gongbiyas Holy Fruit grows in the volcanic crater, hence has a slightly spicy taste. If I don't seal your taste, you'll be uncomfortable, right?"
"Right, right, Master, you truly understand my illness! Quickly, give the Holy Fruit to Eat!" Sun Bowen nodded repeatedly, promptly transferring two million Huaxia Coin to Luo Chao's bank account.
Once the money was received, Luo Chao handed over the three Facing Heaven Peppers to Sun Bowen.
Sun Bowen took the peppers, ready to eat them, but hesitated.
"Master, to be honest, I suffer from severe hemorrhoids and usually don't dare eat anything spicy. If my stomach gets spicy, my butt~hole hurts so much when I poo! You said the Holy Fruit has a tad bit of spice..."
"No worries, when I say a tad bit of spice, it's really just a tad! Your butt~hole should be able to handle it!" Luo Chao spoke seriously, but beneath the mask, he was laughing uncontrollably.
"Fine, Master, I'll trust you!"
With that, Sun Bowen pinched his nose, and swallowed all three Facing Heaven Peppers in one go.
"Eh? My stomach feels warm! Must be the dicine kicking in!" Sun Bowen felt a warmth in his stomach and assud it was the dicine working.
"Exactly, Young Master Sun, then I shall take my leave! Soon, you and Mr. Vulture will be pretty much cured!"
Luo Chao, having pocketed two hundred fifty thousand, internally called these two fools idiots as he prepared to hightail it out.
"OKOKOK, Master, have a good journey!" Sun Bowen and Vulture simultaneously bid farewell to Luo Chao.
Under their farewell gaze, Luo Chao and Jiang Lianqing exited the ward.
"Master, please teach the Extre Electric Needle Technique!" Once out of the ward, Jiang Lianqing once again begged Luo Chao.
"Dean Jiang, my Extre Electric Needle Technique requires the practitioner to have extrely fast hand Speed to fully work; ordinary people can't learn it! However, since I've taken you as an apprentice, I'll explain my understanding of the human ridian routes to you!"
Having taken him as an apprentice, Luo Chao couldn't just brush him off.
Thus, Luo Chao drew for Jiang Lianqing the chart of human ridian routes used to maneuver cultivation techniques, which he learned from the old man.
As soon as Luo Chao drew the chart, Jiang Lianqing held onto it and sat on a long chair in the corridor, utterly absorbed in studying it.
He never imagined there were so many ridian routes in the human body, invisible to the naked eye.
He felt as if his worldview had been completely overturned at that mont!
So of the historical dical conundrums seed to be instantly solved!
...
When Luo Chao returned to the ward where Gu Yanxi's parents were, Gu's mother had already woken up.
"Auntie, are you feeling better?"
"Yes! I've never felt so good in the past ten years; it seems my mind has cleared a lot!" Gu's mother smiled.
Seeing Gu's mother better, Luo Chao took the occasion to ask, "Auntie, your illness is not just paralysis but also poisoned by a Gu toxin. Do you know if you've offended anyone?"
