Chapter 74

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

"Rumors in the Wu Lin say that when the Divine Physician Li heals injuries and treats illnesses, it is all just a flick of the hand!"

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

"Of course, the Divine Physician Li first became famous in the Wu Lin for his ability to bring the dead back to life!"

Cao Duan Zhengchun spoke, boasting thoroughly about Li Li Lianhua’s medical skills!

"Is that so? The Divine Physician Li’s medical skills have reached such a level? I wonder if you could let me open my eyes as well?" Hearing this, Zhu Zhu Houzhao’s eyes shone, and he asked Li 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 could regrow severed limbs? He had truly never seen them before!

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

As for bringing the dead back to life? That was something no one in history had ever achieved, and Zhu Zhu Houzhao felt it was just hearsay.

"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 Li Lianhua showed a troubled expression!

So? Although he is an Emperor, he is still a young man, isn't he?

If he were forty or fifty years old, he probably wouldn't show such curiosity even if he had it!

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

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

"Divine Physician Li, I’ll leave it to you!" Cao Duan Zhengchun said, looking at Li Li Lianhua!

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

Although many people at Bright Peak had witnessed Li Li Lianhua regrowing limbs with their own eyes, one could only truly believe it after seeing it oneself!

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

And partly to take this opportunity to see Li Li Lianhua’s method of regrowing limbs with his own eyes!

"This guy has quite a lot of courage!"

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

However, since he had already cut off his own little finger, how could he hide anything?

Besides, Li Li Lianhua was eager to advertise his medical skills to the whole world, so he had never thought of hiding them!

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

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

Along with it came meridians, blood vessels, bones...

Such a little finger, in just a dozen breaths, was like 3D printing, and in a moment, it was completely restored to its original state!

"Your Majesty..." Looking at his regrown little finger, Cao Duan Zhengchun was wild with joy!

Seeing it with his own eyes confirmed that the Divine Physician Li truly possessed the means to regrow severed limbs!

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

Zhu Zhu Houzhao looked at Cao Duan Zhengchun’s finger; it had indeed regrown, looking as if it had never been severed!

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

This made Zhu Zhu Houzhao click his tongue in wonder.

"Indeed, there are many extraordinary people among the common folk. The Divine Physician Li’s medical skills are truly breathtaking!"

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

No wonder his imperial uncle and Superintendent Cao, no matter how much they fought, were unanimous in their praise for Li Li Lianhua’s medical skills!

The Iron-Clad Marquis nearby, although he had great faith in Li Li Lianhua’s medical skills, had only heard of them until now!

Now, seeing Li Li Lianhua’s method of regrowing severed limbs with his own eyes, the Iron-Clad Marquis felt a sense of relief in his heart!

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

After showing off this trick in the palace, Li Li Lianhua chatted briefly with Zhu Zhu Houzhao and then turned and left 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 Li Lianhua could wait peacefully for the Emperor’s reward!

As he left the palace with the Iron-Clad Marquis, Li Li Lianhua could clearly feel that the Iron-Clad Marquis had become much more enthusiastic toward him!

Li 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 Miss Suxin, hence the increased warmth!

Six Youth-Preserving Pills: he had given two to Yaoyue and Hearing Lianxing, two to the Emperor, and he only had one left in his hand!

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

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

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

"Sigh, I’ve sold those five Youth-Preserving Pills, and I haven't even recovered a single tael of silver for the medicine costs, and now I’ve spent another 5,000 taels!" Looking at the herbs he had purchased, Li 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 Zhu Houzhao tested the effects of the Youth-Preserving Pills, the reward should come down soon!

"Eh?"

Just as the sky was getting dark and Li 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 Li Lianhua took a look; weren't they Jiang Jiang Asheng and Zeng Jing?

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

"Brother Li, why are you here?" Looking at Li Li Lianhua, Jiang 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 treat an injury, so I came over!" Li Li Lianhua replied!

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

"Hehehe..."

Hearing Li Li Lianhua’s question, Jiang Jiang Asheng scratched the back of his head with an embarrassed look and said, "A-Jing and I are preparing to get married, so we came to a 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 Jiang Asheng said, Li Li Lianhua offered his congratulations!

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

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

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

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

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

Li Li Lianhua glanced at the other person; he looked to be about fifty years old, with two short whiskers on his lips and fair skin. He didn't recognize him.

Assuming he was a friend of Jiang Jiang Asheng and Zeng Jing, Li Li Lianhua didn't speak!

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

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

So? Is this person here 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 Physician Li, I came 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’m 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 Li Lianhua had no intention of leaving just yet!

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

Although he was confused, Jiang Jiang Asheng understood what Zeng Jing’s look meant, stood up, and said, "Brother Li, since you have business, A-Jing and I won't disturb you. As it happens, we still have some things to pack up!"

"Alright then, see you later!" Hearing this, Li Li Lianhua nodded!

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

The middle-aged man watched Jiang Jiang Asheng and Zeng Jing leave, feeling 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 of the noodle soup, Li Li Lianhua looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and said!

"Divine Physician Li, I know you possess the ability to regrow severed limbs!"

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

"Today, I came to find the Divine Physician Li, and I am willing to offer 100,000 taels of silver as a consultation fee. Please help me, Divine Physician Li!"

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

"100,000 taels of silver? Are eunuchs this rich? I reckon even that Chief Eunuch Cao Duan Zhengchun couldn't come up with that much silver, could he?"
