The Urban Medical Martial Immortal

29: Chapter 29: Overbearing 29: Chapter 29: Overbearing One million!

With that, I could purchase enough medicinal materials for cultivation, and I should be able to step into the Qi Refining Third Level!

Lin Tian stowed away the bank card in his hand, silently musing over his cultivation plan.

Meanwhile, those fake Taoist priests dressed in Taoist robes by his side had seen Lin Tian bank a million just by opening his stall for business and envied his ability to live comfortably for three years.

Many of them cast gloomy looks in his direction.

Unperturbed, Lin Tian remained composed and seated, paying them no mind.

At that moment, he considered whether to pack up and go home.

The semester was about to start in a few days, and he might not have time to set up his stall again for the next month.

Besides, with a million in earnings, purchasing medicinal materials of sufficient age could entirely support his cultivation for a month.

Just as Lin Tian was preparing to rise and pack up his stall, a sudden commotion nearby halted his movement.

Curiosity piqued, Lin Tian looked towards the source of the noise.

He saw three people approaching from a distance down the street full of stalls set up by fake priests.

Both the stallholders and passersby turned their heads to look.

The trio consisted of one man and two women.

The man, appearing to be eighteen or nineteen, was tall and well-proportioned, with sword-shaped eyebrows and bright eyes, a high nose, and handsome features that could drive countless young girls wild.

His custom-tailored suit exuded arrogance, clearly indicating he hailed from a wealthy Great Clan.

Following behind was a woman who looked to be about twenty-five or twenty-six, dressed in a black suit with short, tidy hair, wearing sunglasses and vigilantly scanning the surroundings as she walked, resembling a bodyguard.

The girl walking in front of her seemed to be seventeen years old.

She had tied her hair into a ponytail, her long neck was white as jade, and her make-up free face featured delicate eyebrows like distant mountains, large watery eyes like deep autumn waters, a small straight nose as exquisite as a pearl, and slightly pursed cherry lips that were irresistibly attractive.

Her delicate facial contours combined to create a stunningly beautiful appearance.

With a tall figure, she wore a red coat over black trousers, and black boots that accentuated her long, beautiful legs.

The eyes of the surrounding crowd could not help but be drawn to the girl.

The gaze of the men was thirsty, their expressions flickering with longing and intensity.

The women felt a surge of envy, their limelight being stolen, their looks towards the girl were tinged with annoyance, yet they also held immense yearning.

The girl disregarded the attention of those around her as if she was used to it.

Her eyes began to wander over the many stalls along the street.

Seeing this,

the false priests could not help but be reinvigorated, perking up at the sight of her attire and the aura she exuded: definitely someone with money!

If they could win her favor, it would be like securing an income for three years!

Many of the fake priests secretly pondered to themselves.

At the same time, they contemplated how to display all their tricks to sell the items they had on hand or to persuade her to let them tell her fortune or check the Fengshui of a place, which could net them even more money.

Suddenly, the girl stopped in front of a stall.

However, the young man behind her frowned and advised, “Tongtong, don’t be fooled by their appearances and pretense of being Immortals; they’re all charlatans with no real skills.

They won’t be of any use for your grandfather’s illness!”

“You don’t need to tell me, I know all too well.

Moreover, I don’t need you to meddle in my affairs!”

The girl’s face showed displeasure as she coldly said, “Also, don’t call me Tongtong!

We’re not close, please address me as Yu Tong, or Yu as a classmate!”

Having said this, the girl ignored the young man’s unpleasant expression and turned to the old man sitting at the stall, asking, “Old man, for difficult diseases, do you have a way to cure them?”

“Ha ha, what discerning eyes the lady has!

As an old practitioner, I specialize in curing all kinds of difficult and miscellaneous diseases.

No matter how tough the disease is, I have a seventy to eighty percent chance of curing it!

As for geomancy, Divination, and reading fortunes, that’s even more within my capabilities!”

The old man stroked his long beard, which could have been either real or fake, then pointed at a pair of crumpled talismans on the stall.

“Look here, these talismans are imbued with my Taoist Technique power; they can cure all kinds of complicated diseases.

One talisman will show effects, two will guarantee a cure, and three will enhance the body’s health for a long life of a hundred years!

But of course, if you want something more reliable, I will have to personally take action.

However, that will be quite pricey…”

After finishing his speech, the old man squinted his eyes and posed pretentiously, putting on the full act of a high-and-mighty sage.

“Good!

If you can cure my grandfather’s illness, I will pay you ten million as a reward!”

Yu Tongying’s lips curved slightly as she waved a silver bank card edged with gold in her delicate hand, saying crisply,

“Really?”

The old man, who was previously posturing as a sage, suddenly widened his eyes and spoke with a tremble.

However, the old man quickly regained his composure, realizing that treating an illness requiring millions was no small matter, and with his half-baked Traditional Chinese Medicine skills, he might be useless.

With this in mind, the old man returned to his inscrutable facade and said, “It seems your grandfather’s illness is not ordinary!

I dare not claim a cure, but some relief is possible.

When the time comes, I will only charge half the consultation fee!”

“No problem!”

A sly sparkle passed through the beautiful eyes of Yu Tongqiu Shui, and then she nodded in agreement.

Hearing this, the old man’s withered hands involuntarily trembled.

And the other old charlatans around, their eyes all turned red with envy, wishing they could snatch the girl away.

She was like a walking treasury!

However.

The girl’s next move caught the old man and all the charlatans off guard.

Yu Tong pulled out a contract-like agreement from her person and said to the old man, “This is a legally binding contract.

The gist of it is if you can cure my grandfather’s illness or suppress it or alleviate the pain for half a year, you will be rewarded with one to ten million!

And if you fail to achieve the above, you will owe a penalty of ten million!

Sign your name!”

The old man’s complexion instantly drained to white, his face turning sour.

He paused with his hand in mid-air and eventually drew it back in an awkward manner, saying, “Well, Miss, I run a small operation, and this is a big matter.

You should let someone else take a look!”

“Hmph, I knew you were a fraud!”

Yu Tong’s pretty face showed a trace of anger as she turned and walked away.

The youth following behind her also walked along, saying, “Tongtong, there’s no need for all this trouble.

At a glance, these people are all phonies going through the motions.

Testing them is a waste of time!

To treat your grandfather’s illness, we still need to look for experts both domestically and internationally!”

However, Yu Tong ignored him and took the contract to each charlatan’s stall.

Yet, once the charlatans understood the conditions in Yu Tong’s contract, even with their greed for money, they did not dare take it on.

A ten million penalty was at stake, and with their half-baked abilities, they could manage ordinary ailments, but faced with genuine, complex diseases, they would be utterly helpless.

A ten million penalty—they probably couldn’t even pay it with their lives!

Seeing that not a single person dared to accept, Yu Tong knew that all these individuals before her were swindlers, and she couldn’t help but explode in anger, “You deceiving old ghosts, swindling and posing all day, do you believe I could have you all rounded up with a single phone call and jailed for three to five years?”

At her words, all the charlatans’ complexions dramatically changed, and they hurriedly began picking up their things, scattering like birds and beasts.

They all realized that this young lady must have an extraordinary background, one they couldn’t contend with.

Only Lin Tian remained as unshakable as Taishan, seated calmly.

“You want to sign this contract?”

Yu Tong saw a youth of a similar age to her still seated at a small street stall and with her brows raised, she spoke coldly.

“There’s no need!

The talismans on my stall are genuine Immortal Talismans!”

Although Lin Tian was tempted by the remuneration mentioned in the contract, as an Immortal Venerable, signing such a quizzed agreement was unacceptable to him.

He paused, then continued, “My Immortal Talismans can cure all diseases!

And if I personally take action, I can completely heal any ailment!”

“Hmph, little con artist, you’re quite boastful!

How are your talismans any different from those of the old frauds?

Besides, your sign here says ‘Immortal Doctor Divine Physiognomy.’ Looking at you, merely a teenager, yet you dare to claim to be an Immortal Doctor, this is extortion!

Believe me, I could have you taken to the police station right now!”

Yu Tong’s beautiful eyes widened as she scolded Lin Tian.

“Believe it or not, that’s up to you.

I’m not forcing you to buy anything!

And if you think you can send me to the police station, that I don’t believe—you can’t do it!”

Lin Tian remained composed, shaking his head and speaking indifferently.

After all, he had reached the Qi Refining Second Layer, and unless tanks and planes were deployed, or an extraordinary expert arrived in person, no one could force him to do anything he didn’t want to.

The girl before him was incredibly beautiful, but she was indeed a bit too domineering!
