AST 2440 â Beating The Shameless Miraculous Physician Hua
Qing Shui was the most experienced at attacking weaknesses, and this strike had completely crippled the manâs arm. While it was possible to heal the arm, it would still be a difficult task to heal it completely. After all, the valuable herbs and pill medicines refined by an alchemist was stronger in Nine Continents; they even had medicine which could revive the dead.
Even so, this wasnât something that could be enjoyed by just anyone. Typically, only exceptionally strong organizations would have such medicine, but they were still very scarce. Hence, they wouldnât usually use them. Someone like this man wouldnât have the rights to use them.
Thump!
Thereafter, Qing Shui cast the man aside with a palm.
The man wasnât Qing Shuiâs match, but he was still stronger than Hao Tian. Such warriors already had some form of position, but the man didnât have a good reputation. He was also being used by Nine Continents Medical Sect this time around, with the intention of causing chaos in Imperial Cuisine Hall.
Miraculous Physician Huaâs expression shifted once more. He was aware of the manâs capabilities and thought that this man was enough to deal with Qing Shui. Who knew that he would be crippled in just one move. How strong must this young man be? However, thinking back again, they must have reserve strength to be this daring and brash in Nine Stars Emperor City, especially in front of the Nine Continents Medical Sect.
His thoughts drifted to Qing Shuiâs skills. Miraculous Physician Hua felt a wave of nervousness; this was how humans were like. He didnât know where Qing Shui came from. For a young man to be this skillful, would those who were backing him up be simple?
Humans loved to speculate, or rather, it was some kind of habitual thinking. It wasnât a bad thing. Qing Shui made use of his mysterious origins to keep others guessing. He had once said that he was from the Martial Saint Divine Palace, Martial Saint Palace, and even Martial Saint Sacred Land. Most importantly, all these places seemed to exist.
However, after all this time, he had never heard of them. He didnât bother about it though; people could think whatever they wished to.
Qing Shui didnât force the man to admit who was behind this. Firstly, the man would never say, and even if he did, there wouldnât be any meaning to them naming Nine Continents Medical Sect. He didnât wish for the troubles with Nine Continents Medical Sect to turn even worse. He had no intentions of starting a fight or a feud.
Hence, he didnât ask anything and neither did he care about Miraculous Physician Hua. He simply began his free treatments.
This time around, Qing Shui did everything himself. He didnât have a choice since there wasnât anyone around him who was suitable. Qing Shui knew he needed to get someone to hold the fort here, but who could he find?
As he pondered, he began his treatment, grabbing medicine where it was necessary, providing acupuncture when it was needed. The speed at which he worked was startling. Miraculous Physician Hua began to frown as he watched from the side. Even though these patientsâ illnesses werenât a big deal, Qing Shuiâs fluency, skill, speed, and effectiveness were still surprising.
What followed after was even more shocking. Among these people, there were those with an ineradicable or undisclosable disease such as the hobbling man from before. Miraculous Physician Hua would be able to cure them, but it would take time and precious herbs. Yet, Qing Shui only took fifteen minutes, a few Golden Needles, and techniques to cure them.
He was in disbelief, dazed by the scene. If it wasnât because this hobbling man had consulted him before, he would have thought that this case was just a rehearsed show.
âCome over here. Let me take a look and see if youâve completely healed.â Miraculous Physician Hua called out to the man.
Old Tieâthe ex-hobbling manâfrowned slightly when Miraculous Physician Hua called out to him. He had once approached the latter for treatment, but the cost was sky-high which caused him to forego the treatment due to his inability to afford it. There wasnât anything wrong with this, but Old Tie was uncomfortable. Miraculous Physician Hua hadnât wanted to treat him, yet he ordered him around like this.
He didnât mind letting him check if he was fully healed, but his lips spouted something else. âForget it, I canât afford it.â
âNo, I wonât charge. I just want to help take a look. Donât you want to know if your leg is completely healed?â Miraculous Physician Hua responded.
Qing Shui had naturally overheard the commotion but said nothing. If Miraculous Physician Hua claimed that it wasnât fully healed or that it would relapse, he wouldnât mind giving a harsh beating to his face.
Old Tie still approached Miraculous Physician Hua in the end.
Miraculous Physician Hua inspected his leg and frowned. He was surprised; this young ladâs medical skill was terrifying! Even so, his words contradicted his thoughts. âOld Tie, even though your leg looks fine now, there would still be a bit of problem in the future.â
âAh, what problem?â Old Tie was surprised. After all, his leg felt fine. However, he was ill at ease about it being a problem in the future. After all, losing what you gained was worse than regaining what you lost.
âYour leg looks healed now, but itâs only temporary. It would revert to its original state in half a monthâs time. Believe me and let me treat you. How about this, since money was the issue, Iâll treat you for free,â Miraculous Physician Hua said solemnly.
Qing Shui laughed. He had seen shamelessness before but never to this extent.
Old Tie wasnât a fool, but this matter concerned his own leg. When he had gone to Miraculous Physician Hua previously, the latter wouldnât even treat anyone when the price was only a little lower. Although he didnât have that kind of money, why was Miraculous Physician Hua suddenly so gracious in offering free treatment?
Miraculous Physician Hua could see Old Tieâs doubts and couldnât help but stare coldly. âAlright, weâll treat it as though Iâve never said this. Donât come looking for me after half a monthâs time and say that you need help with your leg!â
âHaha, are you planning to break his leg after half a month?â Qing Shui laughed at that.
âYou, youâŚâ Miraculous Physician Hua was surprised. He did have that thought. After all, he had boasted his verdict previously, so he must cripple the man after half a month.
âMiraculous Physician Hua, right? Iâve seen shameless people, but none of whom were as shameless as you. Do you think Iâm easy to pick on? Donât you think I will know if Iâve managed to cure someone or not? Moreover, your kidneys are already half-damaged. You canât have intercourse, right? You canât cure it, right? This is the karma of schemes. Before this, you could claim that medical practitioners donât treat themselves, but itâs really because your medical skills are poor. Donât embarrass yourself here, scram.â Qing Shui aimed his words at him disdainfully.
âIâm spouting nonsense? I have a few acupuncture techniques here which can make you speak the truth. Do you want to try?â Qing Shui took out a Golden Needle and looked at Miraculous Physician Hua.
Miraculous Physician Huaâs expression changed drastically. He had heard of this acupuncture skills which would leave one almost hypnotized. Before he could stop Qing Shui, the latter had already pricked him. Toward the public, Qing Shui asked, âAnyone has any questions? He will say whatever that comes to his mind now.â
âCan you really not have intercourse with women now?â
âYes!â Miraculous Physician Hua replied in a daze.
âIs my leg really not fully healed? Will it revert to its original state in half a monthâs time?â
âYour leg is healed. It wonât revert to its original state. I lied.â
âIs the treatment fee you quoted previously overpriced?â
âYes, about five times the priceâŚâ
âŚâŚ
Eventually, Miraculous Physician Hua was beaten by the public and thrown to the streets. At the same time, Nine Continents Medical Sectâs reputation declined at a rapid rate and the news spread.
If it wasnât declared, then nothing would have happened. After all, medicine was priceless. However, now that everyone knew about it, it became a whole new issue.
