Chapter 290

"So it's him!" Hearing this, Li Lianhua's heart stirred slightly!

It must be said, this Jin Mantang also appeared in the original work and could be considered a relatively important supporting character.

More importantly, he had a lot of money!

Yet he hadn't expected Nangong Pushe to drag Jin Mantang over to him!

"Master Jin, please sit. I am a physician; I take people's money and eliminate their disasters—this is part of my duty!" A smile appeared on Li Lianhua's face as he gestured, signaling for Jin Mantang to sit down!

Qin Po and Fang Duobing, standing nearby, watched silently without speaking!

In the Jiang Hu, both of them knew the name of the Divine Doctor Li, the Master of the Lotus Building.

Therefore, seeing Nangong Pushe bring Jin Mantang over, they both knew this was business for Li Lianhua and naturally wouldn't interfere!

Fang Duobing was fine; he had witnessed Li Lianhua treat the Golden-Haired Lion King at the Baichuan Court.

But Qin Po had never seen it, so she was also very curious!

From childhood to adulthood, Li Xiangyi had never studied medical skills; yet in these ten years, he had carved out a reputation as a divine doctor?

Naturally, she wanted to see what his medical skills were like and how he treated illnesses and saved people!

"Divine Doctor Li, I understand. I have prepared a consultation fee of 500,000 taels of silver. As long as Divine Doctor Li can save my life, I am willing to offer it with both hands!" Hearing what Li Lianhua said, Jin Mantang hurriedly spoke up!

"500,000 taels?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Li Lianhua's eyes lit up!

A consultation fee of 500,000 taels of silver—this was the first time he had received such a large fee since he began wandering the Jiang Hu, right? This truly broke his record for consultation fees!

However, besides the fact that this 500,000 taels of silver was a substantial amount, more importantly, he already possessed about 520,000 taels of silver in fees.

Adding this 500,000, wouldn't that break the 1,000,000 tael consultation fee milestone?

The Gold-tier treasure chest was already within reach, just waiting to be grasped!

Thinking of this, a deep smile naturally appeared on Li Lianhua's face!

"Master is good at everything, but isn't he a bit too greedy for money?"

Seeing Li Lianhua's eyes shining, clearly attracted by the 500,000 taels of silver, Fang Duobing muttered to himself in his heart!

As the Young Master of Tianji Manor, although 500,000 taels of silver was a lot, it wasn't enough to make him take it too seriously!

After all, as a super-rich second generation, Fang Duobing was fully qualified to say, "I have no interest in money; I've never lacked money anyway, and my family's money is endless!"

However, although he muttered in his heart, Fang Duobing also felt a bit of heartache!

After all, was Li Xiangyi the type of person who lacked money? No!

Yet, why had he now become this greedy for money?

Thinking back to what he said at the Baichuan Court, in order to survive, he even pawned the Sigu Sect's leader token.

It must be that the life of lacking money during those days left a deep mark on his psyche, which is why he became so greedy for money, right?

As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, one fears a well rope for ten years!

Thinking of this, Fang Duobing felt heartache and understanding for Li Lianhua's flaw of greed!

"500,000 taels of silver? Can Xiangyi earn this much for a single treatment?"

Qin Po, standing nearby, heard this and widened her eyes, feeling secretly shocked in her heart!

500,000 taels of silver—that's enough for someone to spend a lifetime and never finish, right?

"Master Jin, may I ask what illness you have?"

Although Li Lianhua knew everything, he pretended not to understand and said to Jin Mantang!

"Divine Doctor Li, my family has a hereditary disease called Tree-Man Syndrome!"

"This illness is passed down through generations, never-ending!"

"When it flares up, the skin becomes thicker and harder, like the bark of a dead, withered tree!"

"Until finally, the whole body stiffens and one dies!"

While speaking, Jin Mantang lifted his clothes, revealing the mutated parts of his body, and spoke frankly to Li Lianhua!

After explaining his illness, Jin Mantang asked Li Lianhua anxiously and cautiously: "For this Tree-Man Syndrome, I have tried every possible method and cannot find a way to cure it at the root. I wonder, Divine Doctor Li, can you treat it?"

"A mere trifle!" Facing Jin Mantang's inquiry, Li Lianhua said with a calm expression, clearly not taking this so-called Tree-Man Syndrome seriously at all!

This answer filled Jin Mantang's heart with wild joy!

So? Is this the medical skill of the Master of the Lotus Building?

The Tree-Man Syndrome, which no one in the world can cure, is just a mere trifle to Divine Doctor Li?

If an ordinary physician had answered this way, Jin Mantang would have felt the other party was bragging and would have felt less trust!

But who was the person who said this? The person who said this was the Divine Doctor Li Lianhua!

This made Jin Mantang overjoyed; he was truly worthy of being the legendary Divine Doctor Li Lianhua who could bring the dead back to life and regrow flesh on bones!

"Then, then Divine Doctor Li, when shall we begin treatment? Do I need to prepare anything?" With wild joy in his heart, Jin Mantang asked next!

"You? Just have the consultation fee ready; I can act now!" Li Lianhua nodded and said!

"Divine Doctor Li, I have already prepared the consultation fee!" Jin Mantang said hurriedly!

"Then let's do it now!" Without any nonsense, Li Lianhua raised his hand, performed the Twin Spirit Hands, and red light bloomed from his hand, aiming at Jin Mantang!

Afterwards, Nangong Pushe and the others nearby could clearly see that the mutated parts of Jin Mantang's Tree-Man Syndrome were rapidly fading.

In just a few dozen breaths of time, his skin had completely recovered!

Yet, even so, Li Lianhua still did not stop, continuing to perform his Twin Spirit Hands!

Thus, another few dozen breaths of time passed, and only then did Li Lianhua lower his hand.

"Master Jin, I have already cured your Tree-Man Syndrome, and it was even a deep treatment; in the future, your descendants will no longer be troubled by Tree-Man Syndrome!"

Lowering his hand, Li Lianhua said to Jin Mantang!

"What? Divine Doctor Li, are you saying that my hereditary disease has also been completely cured at the root?"

He had originally thought that if the Divine Doctor could cure him, that would be enough, but he hadn't expected the Divine Doctor to give him such a surprise!

At the same time, Jin Mantang's heart was suddenly enlightened!

No wonder the Divine Doctor's treatment continued for so long after the mutated parts of his skin had completely recovered.

So, he was eradicating the hereditary problem of his Tree-Man Syndrome?

Touching his body, the skin was soft, and the terrifying appearance of the Tree-Man Syndrome could no longer be seen.

This made Jin Mantang so happy that he slapped himself twice; these slapping sounds even left clear palm prints on his face!

"Hahaha, that's great, my Tree-Man Syndrome is cured, and it will never be passed down to my descendants again; this is truly great!" Jin Mantang's joyful appearance even turned into tears of joy, streaming down his face!

"After all, Master Jin, you paid a consultation fee of 500,000 taels of silver; helping you eliminate this hereditary disease is what I should do!" Seeing Jin Mantang's joyful appearance, Li Lianhua smiled slightly.

Value for money; for Jin Mantang, this journey of thousands of miles to the Baichuan Court to seek medical treatment from Li Lianhua was truly value for money!

For a consultation fee of 500,000 taels of silver, he had originally only hoped to be satisfied if he could treat his Tree-Man Syndrome!

He hadn't expected that it would actually cure his heredity, or rather, he hadn't expected that the Divine Doctor could even cure heredity for him!

"Divine Doctor Li's medical skills are truly unparalleled in the world. This is the 500,000 taels of silver consultation fee; please accept it with a smile, Divine Doctor!"

Saying this with a grateful and emotional expression, Master Jin then had no intention of wasting words, pulling a stack of silver notes from his sleeve—each one was 10,000 taels, a full fifty of them!

Li Lianhua naturally wouldn't be polite, reaching out to take them.

Following this, Jin Mantang descended from the Lotus Building and left in high spirits!

"Divine Doctor Li, I have already completed half of this!" Seeing Li Lianhua accept the 500,000 taels of silver consultation fee, Nangong Pushe said!

"Yes, half is already completed; keep up the good work!" Li Lianhua casually put away the stack of silver notes and nodded to Nangong Pushe!

However, after saying this, Nangong Pushe had no intention of leaving the Lotus Building, instead greeting Qin Po and Fang Duobing nearby and sitting down!

"Uh, Miss Nangong, are you not leaving?" Seeing Nangong Pushe finally sit down, Li Lianhua asked with some surprise!

"Xiangyi!"

But before Nangong Pushe could speak, Qin Po, standing nearby, appeared to be shielding Nangong Pushe behind her, saying: "How are you talking to Miss Nangong?"

"Miss Nangong just helped you earn 500,000 taels of silver, and you want to drive her away?"

"Can you really do something like burning bridges after crossing the river?"

Li Lianhua: "..."

Seeing Qin Po's expression, the corners of Li Lianhua's mouth twitched slightly, feeling both amused and helpless.

"Miss Nangong, why are you dressed as a man?" Qin Po asked Nangong Pushe with the mindset of looking at a daughter-in-law!

"When wandering the Jiang Hu, this attire is more convenient!" Nangong Pushe replied!
