Chapter 146

This made Zhu Houzhao feel curious about Li Lianhua's medical skills!

"Jiang Hu rumors say that for Divine Doctor Li, healing injuries and curing illnesses are just a matter of lifting a finger!"

"Not long ago, Divine Doctor Li, in full view of everyone, demonstrated the method of reattaching severed limbs, allowing a person whose arm had been cut off to grow it back!"

"Of course, Divine Doctor Li first became famous in the Jiang Hu for his ability to bring the dead back to life!"

Cao Zhengchun spoke, boasting quite a bit about Li Lianhua's medical skills!

"Is that so? Divine Doctor Li's medical skills have reached such a level? I wonder if you could let me open my eyes as well?" Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up, and he said to Li Lianhua in surprise!

Although he is the Emperor of the Great Ming Dynasty, one could say he is among the top handful of those in power.

However, medical skills that can reattach severed limbs? He had truly never seen them before!

In Zhu Houzhao's view, this is no longer in the realm of medical skills; it is simply in the realm of immortal arts!

As for bringing the dead back to life? That is something no one has ever done since ancient times; Zhu Houzhao felt it was just rumors being passed around!

"This, even if I wanted to demonstrate it for Your Majesty, without a target, I cannot demonstrate it!" Seeing the Great Ming Emperor's curious look, Li Lianhua showed a troubled expression!

So what? Although he is an Emperor, he is still a young man, right?

If he were a person of forty or fifty, even if he had such curiosity, he probably wouldn't show it in this manner!

"Your Majesty, this old servant is willing to cooperate with Divine Doctor Li!" However, at this moment, Cao Zhengchun nearby suddenly stepped forward and volunteered!

"Oh? Superintendent Cao, how will you cooperate?" Seeing Cao Zhengchun step out, Zhu Houzhao asked!

"Divine Doctor Li, I will leave it to you!" Cao Zhengchun said, looking at Li Lianhua!

As he finished speaking, he raised his left little finger, and with a wave of his right hand, Cao Zhengchun's little finger was severed as if by a blade, with blood flowing freely!

Although Li Lianhua could reattach severed limbs—something many people on Bright Peak had witnessed with their own eyes—one can only truly believe it after seeing it with one's own eyes!

Therefore, Cao Zhengchun jumped out at this moment, partly to show his loyalty to the Emperor!

On the other hand, he also wanted to take this opportunity to see Li Lianhua's method of reattaching severed limbs with his own eyes!

"This guy has quite the courage!"

To be honest, Cao Zhengchun's decisive action was beyond everyone's expectations!

However, since he had already cut off his little finger, how could Li Lianhua keep hiding his skills?

Besides, Li Lianhua was eager for the whole world to know about his medical skills and had never thought of hiding them!

He performed the All-Encompassing Hand, and the power of the Red Hand fell upon Cao Zhengchun!

Then, under the watchful eyes of Zhu Houzhao and the Iron-Clad Marquis, flesh and blood began to sprout from the place where Cao Zhengchun's little finger had been severed.

Accompanying this were meridians, blood vessels, bones...

Such a little finger, in just over a dozen breaths, was restored to its original state in an instant, just like 3D printing!

"Your Majesty..." Looking at his regrown little finger, Cao Zhengchun was ecstatic!

Seeing it with his own eyes confirmed that Divine Doctor Li indeed possessed the method of reattaching severed limbs!

However, Cao Zhengchun suppressed this ecstasy in his heart, lowered his head, and respectfully extended his hand before Zhu Houzhao for him to inspect!

Zhu Houzhao looked at Cao Zhengchun's finger; it had indeed regrown and looked as if it had never been severed!

But the blood-stained half of the little finger on the ground confirmed that Cao Zhengchun's little finger had indeed been cut off just moments ago!

This made Zhu Houzhao click his tongue in wonder.

"Indeed, there are many extraordinary people among the folk. Divine Doctor Li's medical skills are truly breathtaking!"

Having witnessed Li Lianhua's medical method of reattaching severed limbs with his own eyes, Zhu Houzhao was completely convinced!

No wonder the Imperial Uncle and Superintendent Cao, no matter how much they fought, were unanimous in their praise for Li Lianhua's medical skills!

Although the Iron-Clad Marquis nearby also had great trust in Li Lianhua's medical skills, what he knew was only hearsay!

Now, seeing Li Lianhua's method of reattaching severed limbs with his own eyes, the Iron-Clad Marquis also breathed a sigh of relief!

Great, if Divine Doctor Li's medical skills are truly this miraculous, then he has even more confidence in what he said about being able to save Suxin!

After showing off this skill in the imperial palace, Li Lianhua chatted with Zhu Houzhao for a few more moments before turning and leaving the palace!

The purpose of entering the palace this time was to sell the Youth-Preserving Pills.

Now that the goal had been achieved, Li Lianhua could just wait peacefully for the Emperor's reward!

When leaving the palace with the Iron-Clad Marquis, Li Lianhua could clearly feel that the Iron-Clad Marquis was much more enthusiastic toward him!

Li Lianhua understood that this was because he had seen his medical skills with his own eyes, so the Iron-Clad Marquis was more confident that he could save Suxin, hence the increased enthusiasm!

Of the six Youth-Preserving Pills, he gave two to Yaoyue and Lianxing, two to the Emperor, and he only had one left in his hand!

After pondering for a moment, Li Lianhua asked which pharmacy in the imperial city was the largest and then went out.

After running to several old-established pharmacies, by the time it was almost dark, he had finally purchased all the medicinal herbs needed for the Youth-Preserving Pills.

Furthermore, to purchase these herbs, he had spent a full 5,000 taels of silver!

"Sigh, I've sold five Youth-Preserving Pills, and I haven't even recovered a single tael of silver in medicine costs, and now I've spent another 5,000 taels!" Looking at the herbs he had purchased, Li Lianhua sighed helplessly!

However, fortunately, although the materials needed for the Youth-Preserving Pills are expensive, they can at least be bought in these large pharmacies!

Besides, Yaoyue had promised to pay for the medicine, so she likely wouldn't go back on her word!

Also, once Zhu Houzhao tests the effects of the Youth-Preserving Pills, the reward should come down!

"Eh?"

Just as the sky was getting dark and Li Lianhua was preparing to go back to rest, his footsteps suddenly paused!

He saw two people sitting at a noodle stall not far away, eating noodles.

Li Lianhua took a look; weren't they Jiang Asheng and Zeng Jing?

After pausing to think for a moment, Li Lianhua walked up and sat down beside them!

"Brother Li, why are you here?" Looking at Li Lianhua, Jiang Asheng was stunned, then asked in surprise!

"After we parted that day, the Marquis of the Dragon-Protecting Villa sent someone to invite me to heal an injury, so I came over!" Li Lianhua replied!

Having said that, he paused slightly and looked at the two of them again, saying, "What about you two? How did you come to the capital?"

"Hehehe..."

Hearing Li Lianhua's question, Jiang Asheng scratched the back of his head with an embarrassed look and said, "Miss Zeng and I are preparing to get married, so we came to the clothing store in the capital to prepare some new clothes for the wedding. After all, the ones in the capital are definitely better than those in our town!"

"I see, then congratulations to you both!" Hearing what Jiang Asheng said, Li Lianhua offered his congratulations!

He then reached into his bosom and took out a few taels of silver as a wedding gift.

"Brother Li, you haven't eaten yet, right? I'll treat you today!" Unable to refuse, Jiang Asheng accepted it and then said!

"Boss, give me a bowl of shredded meat and egg noodles too!" Not intending to be polite with Jiang Asheng, Li Lianhua looked at them—they were still very simple—and then called out!

Soon, a steaming bowl of vegetable, shredded meat, and egg noodles was served, and the portion was very generous!

However, before Li Lianhua had finished his bowl of noodles, a middle-aged man suddenly walked over and, acting very familiar, sat down at the table.

Li Lianhua took a look at the other party; he appeared to be about fifty years old, with two short whiskers on his lips and fair skin. He did not recognize him.

Assuming he was a friend of Jiang Asheng and Zeng Jing, Li Lianhua did not speak!

However, this man spoke to Li Lianhua: "Divine Doctor Li, nice to meet you for the first time!"

"Eh? Who are you?" Hearing this middle-aged man speak to him, Li Lianhua looked at him with some surprise!

So what? Is this person coming for him?

Zeng Jing, on the other hand, saw this middle-aged man, and a flash of panic crossed her eyes; she then just kept her head down and ate her noodles!

"Divine Doctor Li, I have come to find you to seek medical treatment. I wonder if we could talk somewhere else?" The middle-aged man stated his purpose!

"I'm sorry, I am currently gathering with friends. If you want medical treatment, can you wait until I finish my bowl of noodles?" Although a customer had come to his door, Li Lianhua had no intention of leaving just yet!

Zeng Jing, however, reached out and held Jiang Asheng's hand, giving him a look!

Although puzzled, Jiang Asheng understood what Zeng Jing's look meant and stood up, saying, "Brother Li, since you have business, Ah Jing and I won't disturb you. As it happens, we still have some things to pack up!"

"Very well, we shall meet again!" Hearing this, Li Lianhua nodded!

Then, after Jiang Asheng paid for the noodles, he was pulled away by Zeng Jing!

The middle-aged man watched Jiang Asheng and Zeng Jing leave and was quite satisfied; these two young people were quite perceptive!

However, why did the back of that woman's figure give him a familiar feeling?

"Alright, you can speak now..." After drinking the last drop of noodle soup, Li Lianhua looked at the middle-aged man before him and said!

"Divine Doctor Li, I know you possess the ability to reattach severed limbs!"

"I entered the palace at a young age, and my greatest dream in this life is to be able to return to being a real man!"

"Today, I have come to find Divine Doctor Li, willing to offer 100,000 taels of silver as a consultation fee, asking Divine Doctor Li to help me!"

The middle-aged man spoke, his voice becoming much sharper and more feminine; it was the voice of a eunuch!

"100,000 taels of silver? Are eunuchs this rich? I reckon even the Chief Eunuch Cao Zhengchun couldn't come up with that much silver, right?" ===== CHAPTER 148 =====
