As for the fact that many wicked people were not sick at all?
Why didn't he beat them until they were sick?
Wasn't that simple?
Lu Sheng felt that his logic was normal. The greatest need of patients with chronic diseases was rest and recuperation. Not only was he rectifying the social atmosphere, but he was also indirectly stabilizing the social order so that more wealth could be used on those who needed it the most.
And he was the one who needed it the most.
Stroking his chin, Lu Sheng swiftly finished treating the last few patients before he stood up.
De Yun who was beside him was also slightly slower. He finished treating the patients.
"Junior Brother, are you confident?" De Yun knew that Lu Sheng's medical skills were exceptional.
He was slightly worried. The old man was a notorious tyrant in the area. He appeared gentle on the surface, but in reality, he was vicious and merciless. He would kill an entire family if he did not agree with him.
He relied on the fact that he had a son who was a Formation Master in the main city. He could do whatever he wanted in the surrounding area, and nobody could stop him.
If he was careless this time and failed to treat the patient, he would be in deep trouble.
"His son is a Formation Master. Take it easy, Junior Brother," De Yun advised. "If you're not confident, just turn him down."
Lu Sheng raised his hand and shook his head slightly.
"Although he's not a righteous person, as a doctor, I can't bear to watch a living life die in front of me. If he's heartless, I can't be unjust. "
De Yun looked at Lu Sheng's righteous expression and instantly felt a sense of respect.
"But … Isn't it better for us to invite Teacher back now?" he asked after some thought.
"Teacher is treating the plague. His mission is more important. It's better not to disturb him. Moreover, I believe that even if Teacher was here, he wouldn't be more confident than I am, "Lu Sheng said confidently.
This was not confidence in his medical skills. Instead, it was absolute confidence in the transplantation art and healing art that were already at the maximum level on his Modifier.
De Yun had nothing to say about this.
Tao Wu happened to come out of the house at this moment. The two of them did not continue the topic.
Early the next morning. As expected, the old man had returned.
He looked even paler.
"Quick, quick, quick. Old man, come in and sit down!" Lu Sheng was slightly shocked when he saw this. He quickly tried to support the old man.
Unexpectedly, his hand was slapped away by a young woman beside him.
"Where is Tu Jin?! Hurry up and come out! Can you afford to delay the old man's treatment?! "The woman raised her eyebrows and said sternly.
Lu Sheng didn't get angry when his hand was slapped away. He just frowned, took two steps back, and looked at the woman.
"This poison … I'm afraid it's infectious …"
Puff!
De Yun, who was drinking water at the side, nearly spat out the water in his mouth. He quickly rushed into the back room and took out a stick of black incense with red patterns. He lit it up and inserted it into an embedded incense pot in the corner of the room.
This thing was meant to prevent infection.
It was the same for the old man's guards and family members. When they heard the word 'contagious', they all took a few steps back in unison. Only the woman who spoke angrily had her hands trembling as she resisted the urge to step back.
Otherwise, the old man would have fallen to the ground.
"Little doctor, give me a price. How much can you cure me of this poison?" The old man's eyelids twitched. He saw everyone's reaction, but he didn't say anything. He only looked at Lu Sheng in a low voice.
Lu Sheng frowned and said slowly, "Originally, I had a sixty percent chance of completely curing the disease. But when Old Mister returned from his trip … it seemed that he had used some other medicine … and it seemed to be nourishing …"
"Sir, you're amazing indeed!" The old man's eyes widened. "You can tell so much without taking my pulse! You're right. I did find the best doctor and apothecary in the nearby city, and I ate some antidote and nourishing medicine … Could it be … that there's a problem? "
He had been tormented by this poison yesterday. Not only did he not get better after taking the medicine, his condition seemed to have worsened.
That was why he had no choice but to come back to the Tu Family after he was cured.
"There's a problem, and it's a big problem!" Lu Sheng's expression was solemn. "The poison didn't spread at first, but because of the nourishing medicine, the poison has spread throughout my body … I'm afraid …"
"Afraid of what?!" The old man asked hurriedly.
At this moment, he was not the only one. The female guards around him were also nervous.
Lu Sheng swept his gaze across them. His expression was one of helplessness.
"I'm afraid … there's no way to cure it completely … You'll have to take medicine for the rest of your life …"
"Ah?!"
The old man's mouth gaped slightly. He heaved a sigh of relief.
"Thank goodness, I thought there's no cure … It's good that it can be cured! That's the greatest fortune! Name your price, sir. "
"There's no hurry. I'll treat you first. Your condition can't be delayed any longer. "Lu Sheng's expression was solemn. He walked up and tapped the old man's neck with lightning speed.
The other party seemed to be at ease with him. A faint Spiritual Essence appeared instinctively around the old man's body to protect him. However, he immediately retracted it.
Lu Sheng tapped the old man's body lightly several times with his finger. He released spirit-prompting threads into the old man's body and quickly stabilized the poison in the old man's body.
He was the one who injected most of the poison into the old man's body. Naturally, it was easy to control the old man's condition.
After muttering to himself for a while, Lu Sheng felt that it was about time. He slowly removed his hand from the old man's body.
Then, he took a piece of paper from the side. He picked up a charcoal pencil and wrote down the names of the herbs that he needed on the paper.
He paused in the middle. He roughly estimated the maximum amount that the old man could afford. Then, he added two more expensive spices and herbs.
"Take these once a month. Brew three cups each time. You must drink them in one go. It can suppress the poison in your body and coexist with it." Lu Sheng passed the prescription to the old man.
The old man received the prescription. He scanned through the contents without batting an eyelid.
"No problem. So, the payment …" He turned his head to the side and gestured. A strong man behind him immediately stepped forward and placed a black money pouch on the table before Lu Sheng.
"This is just a token of my gratitude. Thank you for your amazing skills, young sir. My surname is Shen. You can call me Elder Shen. "The old man's expression was clearly much better now. His aura had calmed down as well.
"My surname is Lu. You can call me Xiao Lu, Elder Shen." Lu Sheng revealed a gentle smile.
"Not bad, not bad. I'll have to rely on you in the future, Xiao Lu." Elder Shen patted Lu Sheng's shoulder hard. He got up and left with his men with the prescription.
This group of people was swift and decisive. They did things very quickly. Moreover, there was a faint stench of blood on them. It was clear that they had killed many people. They were not easy to deal with.
After Lu Sheng and the others left, he picked up the money pouch and looked inside. There were three snow-white ice money inside.
"About 30 taels. How generous!" De Yun also saw the silver taels in Lu Sheng's hand. He immediately exclaimed.
However, Lu Sheng's expression did not change. He felt that he had cheated too little. Judging from Elder Shen's expression, the content of the prescription was probably easier than he had imagined.
Usually, patients would only pay about two to three taels of ice money when they were treated. However, Elder Shen gave him 30 taels in one go.
Elder Shen came a few more times after that. Lu Sheng wrote him prescriptions and brewed the medicine according to the standard.
In total, he had obtained about 100 taels of ice money from Elder Shen.
After that, Lu Sheng treated a few elderly and young people who came to him on their own. These people were either poisoned or had their bodily functions crippled. They needed timely help.
As the number of people he treated increased, some of them were seriously ill patients that even Tu Jin could not treat.
The reputation of the Tu Style Healing Art slowly spread among Lu Sheng's subordinates. More and more people came to him for treatment.
Lu Sheng's rules were also slowly spreading. Treating patients and saving lives was usually more expensive here than in other places. As for how much it was exactly, it depended on the patient's illness.
As time passed, the amount of ice money Lu Sheng collected increased. He distributed a small portion of it to the Tu Style and added it to the total bill. He kept the other portion for himself.
Lu Sheng used a portion of the money he collected to buy the right to stay longer. He spent the other portion on his experiments.
As his experiments continued, he gradually mastered the secret skill that had the highest possibility of being realized among the Three Limits.
It was at this moment that Lu Sheng decided to truly explore the Tu Style Healing Art's abilities.
…
Inside the underground cavern.
"Roar!"
The gigantic black tiger monster roared furiously at Lu Sheng, who was less than a tenth of its size.
The cavern was only so big. However, the black tiger huddled tightly against the wall behind it. It dared not get any closer to Lu Sheng.
It was not the only one. There was a giant red ant that was more than six meters long next to it. The ant had transparent wings on its back and a long scorpion tail behind it. The spikes on the tail flickered with red fluorescence.
Just like the black tiger, the giant ant looked extremely terrified when it faced Lu Sheng. It tried its best to retreat completely, trying to get as far away from him as possible.
Lu Sheng stood in the middle of the cavern in gray robes. He wore a short brown vest over his muscular body.
"The fusion seems to be a success. After obtaining the secret skill, the success rate has increased to thirty percent."
He scrutinized his two greatest masterpieces.
"Both of you have powerful bodies and extraordinary talents. If you can use this as a starting point on your path of cultivation, it'll be a near perfect beginning," Lu Sheng said loudly with his arms spread wide.
The black tiger and red ant were startled. They hastily retreated further.
'Forget it … My spirit is completely damaged, huh? Alas … the only thing I can't solve is the problem with my spirit. Looks like it's still too early to say that I've succeeded … '
Lu Sheng fell silent.
"Deep Blue."
It was time.
It was time to let this ancient healing art shine with its true power.
Lu Sheng looked at the light blue interface that popped up before him. In the Tu Style Healing Art's frame, there were two transplanting art and spirit-prompting threads that had reached the maximum level.
'Now, it's time to test its potential. Let me see what kind of ultimate version of this healing technique can reach … "
He pressed the modify button with his consciousness. The entire interface shook slightly. Without waiting for the modifier to stabilize, Lu Sheng pressed the derive button for the Tu Style Healing Art again with his consciousness.
The level-five healing art immediately blurred.
