1756 Words
Vann understood that it would not be good to take away something that was loved by another person. After hesitating for a while, he said, "Senior Hsueh, tell me how to treat the Aphasic Stroke first, and then we'll talk further."
"Deal!" Mason sighed. He had wanted to give the Mysterious Firiad Needles to Vann directly, so that Vann would owe him a favor. However, his plans were thwarted by his blind disciples, and fell apart.
"I will need Cirrhosa, Chinensis, Viridis, Glutinosa, Sinensis, Fleeceflower, Weatherealis, Rotundifolia, and a few other precious medicinal materials. Then, I’ll boil them in a pot of rootless water and place it in a small bowl for him to drink. He is to drink a small bowl every day, and every three days, I will change the bag of medicine. Repeat this for 49 days and he will recover."
Mason said the entire thing in one breath. He then looked over at Vann and respectfully asked, "This prescription is expensive. Do you have any other good suggestions, Mr. Yip?"
This was why Mason wanted to know Vann's treatment plans.
"Watch closely!"
Following that, Vann stepped forward to Pill, and delivered a punch directly onto his chest. Pill felt a burst of pain, and his chest reflexively shifted inwards.
Seeing what Vann did, everyone was shocked.
What was wrong with this young man?
Was he insane?!
Aurora was also at a loss for words. She had no why Vann had done that at all. She realized that Vann was a freak, and was specialized in doing unexpected things.
"Ma… Master, what is wrong with that guy? How dare he hit someone in broad daylight?" Leslie exclaimed in surprise.
“Shut your mouth, no one would regard you as dumb even if you keep silent!” Mason glared at Leslie, and then he glanced back in a serious manner.
After hitting Pill’s chest, Vann rushed forward and like a flash of lighting, grabbed his right arm. He then pulled his right hand and placed his two fingers together, stabbing them at Pill’s chest a few times.
He then turn his palm into a clench, and gently stroked Pill’s chest. Every time he stroked it, there was a certain sense of rhythm that he was following.
“What is this kid doing? Why is it so similar to a legendary massage technique?” Leslie thought.
Leslie looked at Vann dumbfounded and he also saw some clues. “Even Master has recommended a complicated and costly prescription for the treatment of Aphasic Stroke. Can a wild boy from the mountains cure it just by using these two moves? Even I can do this!”
“Stop talking or I’ll kick you out of the sect!” Mason roared.
After reprimanding his disciple, Mason moved over hurriedly and stared at what Vann was doing.
Although his massage technique was strange, could it really cure Aphasic Stroke?
In a short span of time, Vann let go of Pill and stopped his treatment.
Pill immediately threw up violently. Even the fluid in his lungs came out.
“His illness has been cured.” Vann declared.
His words surprised and caused a stir amongst the onlookers.
"What?!"
“He’s cured?”
“The patient is cured after a beating?”
“I think his condition has improved!”
“If it was that easy to cure his disease, why do we need doctors? Just give him a good beating!”
“Also, this kid tends to be violent. Everyone should stay away from him. Who knows who might suffer next!”
“He’s a psycho. Who has the phone number of a psychiatric hospital? Call them now!”
“He is not reliable at all. Immortal Doctor Hsueh is much more skillful!”
......
Upon seeing Vann's gesture, Mason hurried over and felt Pill’s pulse.
“Haha, my Master will find out soon. You will be dead in a matter of minutes. If we find out that you’re a charlatan, we'll see how I kill you.” Leslie said with a grimace.
Vann was not bothered at all.
After a moment, Mason let go of Pill’s hand and looked at Vann.
“Master, please hurry up and declare him a liar! I’ll hang him right now! Liars should be taught a lesson. Otherwise, he would continue to be ignorant and conceited!” Leslie rushed forward and was ready to pummel Vann.
At this moment, to his surprise, Mason ignored Leslie and ran over to Vann instead.
Then, to everyone’s surprise, he fell to his knees.
“Master, please accept me as your disciple!” Mason shouted.
This time, not only did it shock the people around them, but Vann himself was also surprised.
Vann immediately reacted by rushing over and helping Immortal Doctor Hsueh to his feet. The doctor was about the same age as Vann's Master. Hence, Vann couldn’t stand such worship from him.
“Senior Hsueh, what are you doing? Please get up quickly!” Vann said.
Immortal Doctor Hsueh refused to get up. Hence, Vann discreetly channelled his Qi, forcefully pulling Immortal Doctor Hsueh up.
"You are calling me a senior and I just can't bear it! I am just a small fry compared to you. I should be the one calling you Senior.” Mason replied with a wry smile.
He uttered those words sincerely from the bottom of his heart.
In the medical field, people with extraordinary medical skills would be respectfully called Masters and Seniors, regardless of their age.
Vann’s treatment had cured Pill’s Aphasic Stroke, and it was miraculously simple.
It would be his good fortune if he could become Vann’s disciple.
Moreover, if he could learn those adept massage techniques, Mason was sure that no matter how far the medical field advanced, there would always be a place for him in the Chinese Medicine circle.
“Senior Hsueh, I have something urgent to attend to. I’ll take my leave first.” Vann still needed to save Old Master An, and time was running out. Therefore, he was in a hurry.
“Mr. Yip, you must take me as your disciple today! Otherwise I will follow you wherever you go!” Mason adamantly said.
Vann instantly broke down.
Mason was old enough to be his grandfather. Yet, here he was, pestering him like a child, giving no regard to his own reputation.
What sort of situation was this?
At this moment, Aurora An, who was standing at the side, began to re-examine the teenager who stood in front of her.
They had known each other from the very beginning, and she had always considered him as a wild boy.
Then, he told her that Pierre Lee was suffering from a hidden illness.
After that, he found out the cause of her grandfather's illness.
She felt like Vann had some abilities.
However, he had gone through all this just to buy some silver needles…
Immortal Doctor Hsueh’s attitude towards Vann had completely changed her perception towards him.
This was the Immortal Doctor of the Tradicine Province!
If he stomped on the ground, he would shake up the entire Tradicine Province!
He was such a big shot that even the An Family couldn't manage to invite him to help them!
However, here he was, kneeling down to a young man.
Kneeling and shouting, he was worshiping the young man as his teacher!
Surely all this had to mean something?
She knew immediately that her grandfather could be saved.
“I really have something urgent to deal with. I don’t have time to deal with this now, and I also don’t intend on accepting a disciple.” Vann frowned. He was under orders from his master to look for a thousand-year-old reishi.
Right now, his top priority was to cure Old Master An’s illness. Then, he would find the thousand-year-old reishi and return to his sect to report to his Master.
“Master, please accept me as your disciple. You can make me do anything you want.” Mason tearfully said.
Vann was in a dilemma, and couldn't argue with the old man in front of him. He was an elder, and only wanted to pursue higher medical skills. There was nothing wrong with that.
Considering this, Vann suddenly came up with an idea.
“If you sincerely want me as your Master, it is not impossible. As long as you do me a favor, I will immediately accept you as my disciple. What do you think?” Vann asked.
Upon hearing this, Mason immediately became excited. “Tell me what it is. I’ll do anything you want.”
“Help me find the thousand-year-old reishi, and I will consider taking you in as my disciple.” Vann smiled.
“A thousand-year-old reishi?” Mason was confused.
Mason said, “Reishi is common, but even a hundred-year-old reishi is extremely rare. As for a thousand-year-old reishi, I'm afraid I have never heard of it.”
Nonetheless, he replied without hesitation, “Okay, I’ll keep my word. I’ll try my best to find it!”
Seeing that Mason was no longer pestering him, Vann breathed a sigh of relief.
As he said, even a hundred-year-old reishi was hard to find.
What more a thousand-year-old reishi?
It was hard to say whether there was even such a thing in this world.
Besides, if he was really able to locate the thousand-year-old reishi, it wouldn't hurt to accept Mason as his disciple, would it?
“Miracle doctor! The world’s most highly-skilled doctor!”
Before Vann could even reach the door, the surrounding people crowded him.
They had witnessed the entire scene without blinking their eyes. No matter how stupid they were, they understood what had just happened!
"What an awesome Miracle Doctor!"
They had experienced a heart-stopping incident.
In the beginning, they were disgusted by him and looked at him with contempt. However, now they were worshipping him!
The Immortal Doctor had cried and shouted that he wanted to be his apprentice, regardless of his own reputation. Even a fool could see that Vann was not an ordinary person.
“Miracle Doctor, save me. Look at the amount of fat I am dealing with!” A large and strong woman rushed over. Her footsteps were thunderous!
“Miracle Doctor, save me. Tell me how to treat the wound on my butt!” A man pulled down his pants without a thought.
“You guys, stop making trouble. Miracle Doctor, save me! I'm dying! I have s******s!”
