Chapter 715: I Can Cure This Disease

"Elder Zhu, this is indeed not a skin disease, but a type of ancient bacterial infection." Chen Yu stepped forward and said, "Traditional Chinese Medicine originally had no concept of bacterial infection, but it does have the theory of evil entities invading the body. What Traditional Chinese Medicine calls an evil entity refers to fungi."

"It is just that this fungus is different from what Western Medicine knows; it belongs to a relatively ancient organism. If I am not mistaken, you must have gone to some glacier regions rarely visited by humans, encountered a glacier melting, and then contracted this disease?" Chen Yu glanced at Matsue.

"That is correct. I have been to the Arctic. The company I belong to went there for scientific research. In a melting glacier area, I took samples from the soil underneath, and after returning, I became infected with this disease."

Matsue Cun was slightly stunned, then his confidence in Chen Yu increased greatly: "How did you know? Do you have a way?"

"Additionally, are you currently using a potent anti-itch agent to control it? This anti-itch agent contains chemical components that can effectively stop itching, but it is of no help to your condition. Furthermore, the dosage of this agent is getting larger and the frequency more frequent, right? And the effect is getting worse and worse?" Chen Yu asked again.

"Yes, the company Mr. Matsue belongs to is a company that researches chemical preparations. His company specially developed an agent for him." Wang Yang said, "How did you know this?"

"It's very simple, I could tell at a glance." Chen Yu smiled slightly.

"Then do you have a way to cure my disease?" Matsue Cun looked at Chen Yu with a face full of hope. Indeed, this agent only stopped the itching, but the ulcerated area on his back was getting larger, and the amount and frequency of his medication were becoming more and more frequent.

"Of course I have a way. The reason you got sick is that you encountered ancient microorganisms when you were taking samples from the melting glacier. Only after being contaminated by these ancient microorganisms did you develop this skin disease."

Chen Yu said indifferently: "The reason why modern medical means cannot detect it is that there is no antibody medicine targeting these microorganisms."

"You have a way? What method will you use to cure it?" Matsue Cun held his breath, looking at Chen Yu in disbelief.

"Huaxia's Traditional Chinese Medicine has a cultural heritage of thousands of years, so we still have ways to deal with such diseases." Chen Yu smiled slightly and said: "However... the disease cannot be cured for free, because your attitude just now was too arrogant."

"I can afford whatever consultation fee you want. One million, is that okay? As long as you can cure the disease on my back, you can name any price." Matsue looked at Chen Yu excitedly; he was like a drowning person grabbing a straw.

He did not doubt Chen Yu's words at all, because he did not know Chen Yu before this, yet Chen Yu could accurately state his medication and the places he had been before getting sick, so Matsue Cun felt that Chen Yu must have a way to cure his disease.

"I want one hundred million. Can you afford it?" Chen Yu laughed.

"One hundred million? Why don't you just go rob someone?" Wang Yang was furious. Chen Yu was taking advantage of the situation. One hundred million—even if Matsue Cun was not short of money and was the person in charge of a foreign-funded enterprise, one hundred million was not a small amount.

"That's right, I am robbing you." Chen Yu sneered: "If you were my compatriot, I could treat you, even for free."

"But you are not. You are from Fusang, and your attitude just now reminded me of the grievances between Huaxia and Fusang. So, one hundred million—if you can afford it, I will cure you; if you can't, then go wait for death."

"Bastard, I am your investor. The officials here are respectful when they see me, yet you dare to treat me with this attitude?"

Matsue was furious. He could indeed come up with one hundred million, but he was not willing to spend this money. Therefore, he could only use strong-arm tactics to force Chen Yu to submit.

"They are them, and I am me. It is undeniable that there are some people who have no shame for the sake of political achievements, but do you dare to say who he is? As long as you dare to say who he is, I guarantee that the Huaxia people's spit could drown him." Chen Yu sneered.

"Mr. Matsue, let's go. This kid is full of nonsense; one look and you can tell he is unreliable." Wang Yang was furious: "I will go contact the official people for you and ask the people from their Imperial Hospital to take action."

"Sorry, I know two of the three Heads of the Imperial Hospital, and one of them, named Wu Baozhen, is my grand-disciple. If he dares to treat you, I will expel him from the sect." Chen Yu sneered.

"Are you an idiot? Why don't you brag bigger? I have heard of Wu Baozhen, one of the three Heads of the Imperial Hospital. You say such a person is your grand-disciple? You are crazy." Wang Yang certainly did not believe Chen Yu's words.

"I can testify, this is true." Zhu Yiwen, who was on the side, said: "Last time at the hospital, I saw with my own eyes Head Wu calling Mr. Chen 'Grandmaster'."

"This..." Wang Yang was a bit dumbfounded.

"What exactly do you want?" Matsue's complexion became increasingly ugly. Now his back was faintly itching again, and he really did not want to endure that kind of pain.

"I know, you have concerns; you are afraid that I cannot cure your disease." Chen Yu smiled slightly: "I have a medicine here that I can let you try. I guarantee it will be effective immediately. You can talk after you try it."

"Fine, as long as your medicine is effective, one hundred million, I will pay." The expression on Matsue's face was uncertain.

He felt that Chen Yu should have a way, but he really did not want to pay the one hundred million consultation fee. However, thinking about how his disease acted up on his back, he felt his scalp tingle, so he decided to go along with Chen Yu's wishes first, and after the disease was cured, he would find a way to kill this annoying Huaxia person.

Chen Yu took out a few medicinal ingredients and prepared the ointment on the spot. In less than ten minutes, less than ten grams of ointment were prepared. He handed it to Matsue: "Apply a little on your affected area and try it."

"I'll do it, Mr. Matsue." Wang Yang, who was on the side, hurriedly and obsequiously took the ointment from Chen Yu's hand. He saw that this bit of ointment was black in color and emitted a pungent smell. He couldn't help but frown and say: "Are you sure this thing works?"

"Of course, just apply a little and you'll know." Chen Yu said.

Wang Yang picked up the medicine and applied it to the affected area on Matsue's back. This bit of medicine could only cover a palm-sized area.

After this medicine was applied, Matsue let out a sound of comfort. He nodded repeatedly: "Yoshi, not bad, very comfortable, not bad..."

As this bit of medicine was applied, the ulcerated skin on the area of Matsue's back where the medicine was applied healed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. A moment later, the ulceration disappeared, and that ulcerated spot had healed.

"Miraculous, truly too miraculous. Can you really cure my disease?" Matsue's expression was excited. Without saying a word, he took out a check, wrote down the amount of one hundred million, and handed it to Chen Yu: "Mr. Chen, this is the consultation fee you wanted. Please, I beg you to prepare more medicine and quickly cure the disease on my back."
