Chapter 145: Wheel King Seeks Medical Treatment, I Want to Become a Real Man

It is no wonder that the eunuchs in the imperial palace were so excited about Li Lianhua's arrival!

After all, Li Lianhua's method of reattaching severed limbs was an irresistible temptation for these eunuchs!

Just think of the movie *Royal Tramp*, where Hai Physician kept his "treasure" in a jar, watching and staring at it day and night!

And think of this Wheel King, who would stop at nothing to obtain the remains of Bodhidharma!

But, are the remains of Bodhidharma truly useful?

No one has ever verified it.

Yet, Li Lianhua's method of reattaching severed limbs has been witnessed by hundreds, even thousands of people!

"I mobilized the Black Stone organization to search everywhere for the whereabouts of the Divine Doctor Li. I never expected him to have actually come into the imperial palace. This is truly heaven helping me!"

Holding a stack of letters, Wheel King felt a secret joy in his heart!

It seems he must keep a close watch on the Divine Doctor Li's tracks; once he leaves the palace, he will go and beg him to use his miraculous hands!

The opportunity to become a real man again is right before his eyes, and Wheel King is extremely excited!

……

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Regardless of what Wheel King was thinking, Li Lianhua had already met the Emperor at this moment.

The Emperor appeared to be a young man in his twenties, and Li Lianhua cupped his hands in a salute.

"Divine Doctor Li, upon seeing His Majesty, you should perform the kowtow ritual!"

The Iron-Clad Marquis standing nearby, seeing Li Lianhua only cupping his hands, could not help but remind him!

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. This commoner is not a subject of the Great Ming, so this kowtow ritual can be omitted, right?" Hearing this, Li Lianhua said to the Great Ming Emperor!

"It is fine. I am not a person who likes so many tedious formalities." Waving his hand, the Great Ming Emperor Zhu Houzhao appeared to be quite easygoing!

After having someone provide a seat and serving Li Lianhua some tea, Zhu Houzhao curiously looked at Li Lianhua and said, "According to my Imperial Uncle, Divine Doctor Li has brought some medicinal pills to offer? I wonder what kind of miraculous elixir it is?"

"Your Majesty, it is this!"

Li Lianhua had long been prepared and took out an exquisite jade bottle. Cao Zhengchun received it with both hands from Li Lianhua and delivered it before Zhu Houzhao!

Zhu Houzhao took the small jade bottle, opened the lid, and looked inside. There were three round pills that looked extraordinary in quality!

"Your Majesty, this is a pill I refined after collecting many rare medicinal herbs and using the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire for eighty-one days. It is called the Youth-Preserving Pill!"

"As the name suggests, after consuming this pill, one can keep their appearance from aging and remain forever young!"

"I have specially brought this pill to offer to Your Majesty!" Li Lianhua said, boasting to Zhu Houzhao!

All that talk about collecting rare herbs and refining for eighty-one days was naturally made up.

If he didn't make it sound difficult, how could he sell it for a good price?

Of course, one cannot say "sell" when giving to the Emperor; it must be called an "offering." As for whether the Emperor would take your things for free?

Therefore, even if one is selling pills, one must find a pleasant way to phrase it!

"Oh? Youth-Preserving Pill? Can it keep one's appearance from aging? Then it is useful to me as well, right?"

Although the point of remaining forever young has a fatal attraction for women!

It is not necessarily without attraction for men!

Now that he is in his twenties, if he could keep this youthful appearance forever, Zhu Houzhao also felt it would be quite good!

As he spoke, Zhu Houzhao pinched one of the Youth-Preserving Pills and opened his mouth to swallow it!

"Your Majesty..." Seeing Zhu Houzhao's action, the Iron-Clad Marquis nearby was startled.

"Although Divine Doctor Li's medical skills are the best in the world, Your Majesty is a body of ten thousand gold. Things that go into the mouth should be tested by others first!"

The Iron-Clad Marquis hurriedly stopped the Emperor's action and said!

"This... very well..."

There were only three Youth-Preserving Pills; having someone else test the medicine? He couldn't bear to.

However, after pondering for a moment, Zhu Houzhao had an idea and temporarily put the pills away!

As for the price of the pills? Everything would naturally depend on the reward given after the medicine was tested!

"Just now my Imperial Uncle said that Divine Doctor Li's medical skills are the best in the world? I didn't expect that despite your young age, your medical skills would have reached such a level!" Zhu Houzhao said to Li Lianhua with a look of amazement!

Although Li Lianhua's reputation has been very loud recently, it was only loud within the Jiang Hu.

As an Emperor, his attention to Jiang Hu matters and information would naturally be a bit behind!

"Your Majesty..."

Hearing what Zhu Houzhao said, Cao Zhengchun suddenly spoke up, saying, "This servant has also been paying attention to Jiang Hu affairs, and I have heard of Divine Doctor Li's reputation!"

"Oh? Is that so? I wonder in which aspect Divine Doctor Li's medical skills are most proficient?"

It was one thing for the Iron-Clad Marquis to say so, but even Cao Zhengchun, who was at odds with him, actually said the same. ===== CHAPTER 147 =====
