Chapter 269: Five Hundred Million Consultation Fee

"You..." Deng Guosheng was so choked up he couldn't even speak.

"Dad, let's go. I don't believe that besides him, we can't find anyone else to treat your legs. Hmph, I also don't believe he's that miraculous," Deng Yuan said angrily.

"If you don't believe me, feel free to leave," Chen Yu smiled faintly.

Just at this moment, a beggar in tattered clothes with severed legs suddenly crawled over.

The beggar exuded a foul odor; his legs were already festering, and from crawling on the ground for so long, some of the sores were even deep enough to reveal bone.

"Are you here to see a doctor?" Chen Yu was taken aback.

"Yes," there was a sharp glint in the beggar's eyes; clearly, he was no ordinary person before, though it was unknown why he had fallen into this state.

"Go push a bed over here," Chen Yu said, turning his head.

Luo Huichun nodded hurriedly and pushed a bed over. Chen Yu leaned down to help the beggar up, using a slight bit of force to assist him onto the bed, and then examined his legs.

"Master, his legs seem to have been frostbitten as well," Luo Huichun said.

"That's right. Where were your legs frostbitten?" Chen Yu asked.

"Western... Western Regions Snow Mountain. It's been several years already," the beggar replied. "Can it still be cured?"

"It can be cured. I can have you standing up immediately. What is your name?" Chen Yu asked.

"Yi Xing," the beggar replied.

"Good, I will treat you," Chen Yu said, turning his head. "First, deal with the festering on his legs."

"Yes, Master," Luo Huichun nodded and took out some specially made Golden Sore Medicine to begin cleaning the sores for Yi Xing; these medicines of his were all formulas given by Chen Yu.

Luo Huichun had merely followed the pattern to develop them; according to Chen Yu, they were barely passable, but the effects were surprisingly good.

Before long, some of the wounds had actually started to scab over, though some of the deeper wounds would need time to heal.

"Your leg injury was caused by extreme cold, leading to the hardening of the blood vessels in your legs. While it isn't troublesome to treat, it is extremely costly in terms of medicine, and the medicine used is very precious," Chen Yu said.

"I have no money," Yi Xing shook his head.

"Having no money is fine; you can work to pay off the debt. If you have nowhere to go, you can stay. Of course, if you don't want to stay, that's no problem either; I won't force you. You can come back and pay me when you have money in the future," Chen Yu smiled.

He could see that Yi Xing was no ordinary person, but a master. He was currently lacking such masters by his side, so it was good to take the opportunity to recruit him.

"If you cure my legs, my life will be yours from now on," Yi Xing said firmly.

"Good, it's a deal," Chen Yu smiled slightly.

He performed acupuncture to stimulate Yi Xing's acupoints, awakening his dormant neurons and stimulating the meridians, then with a grab of his right hand, the Cranberry Blood Vine appeared in his palm.

"This is a Yuan-level medicine, a Yuan-level one!" Luo Huichun, standing to the side, had his eyes fixed; he stared intensely at the medicine in Chen Yu's hand, nearly going mad.

This kind of Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure was truly rare and hard to find. Chen Yu had just casually taken out such a long piece—where did he get it from?

"That's right, Cranberry Blood Vine," Chen Yu cut off half an inch. "This little bit can strengthen and continue the blood vessels and heal broken bones. Even if you had been paralyzed for decades, it could still allow you to walk like a normal person."

"This medicine is truly too precious," Luo Huichun swallowed his saliva, staring at Chen Yu's movements without missing a single detail.

Chen Yu split the piece of Blood Vine in his hand into two, placed them on Yi Xing's legs, and then condensed his True Qi to begin melting the medicinal power.

Yi Xing's expression shifted; he felt an endless amount of Original Power surging into his two legs, which had long since lost all sensation. The massive Original Power was forcefully repairing the necrotic nerves in his legs.

Waves of warmth gradually restored sensation to his legs. A moment later, the medicinal power was fully injected, and Chen Yu performed acupuncture to consolidate it, allowing the medicinal power to fuse completely.

Removing the needles, Chen Yu said, "You can try to walk a few steps slowly."

Yi Xing took a deep breath. He sat up straight and touched his own legs.

Previously, his legs had no sensation at all, but this time, the feeling was completely different from before; this sensation of flesh and blood being connected could not be mistaken.

His legs moved slowly, and then, gritting his teeth, he flipped himself off the bed.

As his feet landed on the ground, the feeling of stepping on the floor again left him stunned.

He took a step forward; his legs were solid and powerful. Even though some of the wounds on his legs had not fully healed, he clearly felt that his legs were more powerful than before.

"I, Yi Xing, will belong to Mr. Chen from this day forward," Yi Xing looked up and let out a long cry, tears streaming down uncontrollably.

On his trip to the Western Region, for the sake of an item, all six of his brothers had lost their lives. Only he had luckily survived, but he had also become paralyzed in both legs, a useless person.

If it hadn't been for the belief entrusted to him by his brothers supporting him, he likely wouldn't have lasted until now. Now that his legs were finally healed, he felt as if he had been reborn.

"Rest well, change your clothes, and take a bath," Chen Yu smiled slightly. "From now on, Xinglinju will rely on you for protection."

"Yes," Yi Xing wiped away his tears and bowed deeply to Chen Yu.

This series of operations by Chen Yu had left Deng Guosheng staring in a daze.

He looked with envy at Yi Xing, whose legs had already recovered, and became instantly excited.

So everything Chen Yu said was true; he could actually cure paralyzed legs.

Yi Xing's situation was much more severe than his own; he had fallen into a coma after encountering an avalanche while exploring Mount Everest, and when he woke up, his legs had no sensation.

At the beginning, he could barely walk, but in the last few years, they had lost all sensation entirely.

He had money and had hired the best doctors from abroad, world-class top experts, and had access to cutting-edge equipment.

But the conclusion he received was always the same: his legs had no possibility of recovery and would only continue to deteriorate.

If things continued to develop this way, the best outcome would be amputation. Huaxia was vast and rich in resources, with many hidden masters; he had come to Huaxia just to try his luck, but he hadn't expected that this time he would actually encounter a true master.

"Chen Yu, five hundred million, I'll pay it. Treat me immediately," Deng Guosheng no longer hesitated. Five hundred million was nothing to him.

If this five hundred million could trade for his normalcy, then the money was well spent.

"Sorry, it's in US dollars now," Chen Yu smiled.

"What did you say? Chen Yu, have you gone crazy for money?" Deng Yuan, standing to the side, was startled and shrieked, "Five hundred million US dollars? What are you thinking?"

"I didn't force you. If you want to spend this money, spend it; if you don't want to, I won't force you. After all, you're the one who thinks your father's two legs aren't worth that much money," Chen Yu said with an indifferent expression.

"You..." Deng Yuan was furious.

"Mr. Chen, five hundred million US dollars, isn't that too much?" Deng Guosheng was very angry, but now he didn't dare to offend Chen Yu.

"Aren't you the richest man? This little bit of money is just a drizzle to you. If you think it's not worth it, then consider it as if I never said anything," Chen Yu smiled.
