Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 240: 240

”Dare to spar with me?”

Faced with Li Qingdai’s provocation, Lin Dong simply shrugged his shoulders and spat out three words:

”Not interested!”

Li Qingdai gritted her teeth in anger.

It felt like punching into cotton candy.

”Scared, aren’t you? That’s why you don’t dare!” Li Qingdai pouted.

”I can’t be bothered to argue with a child,” Lin Dong said indifferently.

”You...” Li Qingdai was at a loss for words; this man, clearly younger than her, had just called her a child.

It left her so angry that she didn’t know what to say.

Seeing this, Zhuge Lingyou beside her sighed and said:

”Qingdai, didn’t you realize he’s deliberately provoking you? As practitioners of Chinese medicine, your grandfather must have taught you that the most important thing is one’s mentality.”

”A doctor who can’t even keep his own composure and easily becomes agitated—how can patients trust you to treat them?”

Hearing Zhuge Lingyou’s words, Lin Dong actually gave him an extra glance.

Li Qingdai glared at him and said, ”Whose side are you on anyway?”

”Cough cough, I’m of course on your side. However, Qingdai, since your grandfather has praised Doctor Lin Dong so highly, he must be extraordinary in his medical arts.”

”Hmph, even if his medical skills are extraordinary, I don’t believe he’s ten times better than me!”

”This... this might just be an exaggerated way of speaking.”

”Yes, my grandfather does exaggerate a bit. But this kid doesn’t think so; he even believes my grandfather understated it. He’s practically bragging to the skies!”

”...”

While they spoke, the three of them had already arrived in the inner hall.

After entering the room, Li Qingyang walked towards Lin Dong with a smile and then clasped his hands together, saying:

”Young Miracle Doctor, long time no see! Come, let me introduce to you, this is the Medicine King!”

Lin Dong looked towards the Medicine King, Zhuge Qingxuan.

The Medicine King, Zhuge Qingxuan, was also sizing up Lin Dong.

At the moment, he was somewhat surprised.

He thought, this young man is even younger than his grandson, yet Old Li feels he’s better than the Young Miracle Doctor.

Is Old Li ’mistaken’, or does this kid really have the ability?

”Young friend, hello. I heard that despite your young age, you can Control Needles with Qi!” Medicine King Zhuge Qingxuan extended his hand, smiling cordially at Lin Dong.

Lin Dong extended his hand politely and shook hands with him.

At the same time, he nodded slightly.

”Young friend, could you give us a demonstration?” Zhuge Qingxuan blurted out. Controlling Needles with Qi, even as a famous doctor in the Chinese Medicine World, he had only seen it in the hands of one person.

And that person was a towering figure in the Dragon Country’s Traditional Chinese Medicine Circle.

He was also universally recognized as the number one in Traditional Chinese Medicine in the Dragon Country.

He was the grandfather of the Young Miracle Doctor, the true Medicine Sage, Wang Taisui!

Now, having heard from Li Qingyang that Lin Dong could Control Needles with Qi, he naturally wanted to see it for himself.

But this request saw Lin Dong shaking his head slightly, saying, ”Old Master Medicine King, Chinese medicine is not for show.”

”So your request...”

”Yes, yes, yes, Old Man was being rude,” Medicine King Zhuge Qingxuan also came back to his senses at this moment, feeling a little embarrassed and said.

”Hmph! Engaged in nonsense, I think you simply don’t know how!”

But just at that moment, with a cold snort, Li Qingdai who was beside them spoke up without any reservation.

”Qingdai, shut your mouth!” But as soon as her words fell, she was rebuked by Old Divine Doctor Li Qingyang, her grandfather.

Li Qingdai felt aggrieved and muttered, ”What I said was correct all along.”

”I think he simply doesn’t know how, that’s why he didn’t dare to make a move.”

Old Divine Doctor Li Qingyang was very angry as he said, ”Grandpa witnessed it with his own eyes. Could it still be false?”

”Quickly apologize to the Young Miracle Doctor!”

Li Qingdai could tell that grandpa seemed truly angry.

She didn’t dare to provoke her grandpa’s authority.

So she obediently bowed to Lin Dong, ”I’m sorry.”

But although she said ’I’m sorry’, in her heart she was still unconvinced.

Lin Dong, however, didn’t care at all and waved his hand, ”It’s okay, I won’t get angry with children!”

”You...” Li Qingdai was so infuriated inside, her heart ablaze with anger, but when the words reached her lips, she didn’t know what to say.

Observing the scene, Li Qingyang found it amusing, thinking his granddaughter really needed to have her temperament polished.

This Young Miracle Doctor was indeed her nemesis.

Suddenly, an idea came to him.

He thought to himself how wonderful it would be if his granddaughter, Li Qingdai, could take the Young Miracle Doctor as her mentor.

Not only could she learn medical arts from him, but she could also temper her temperament along with him – killing two birds with one stone.

However, the Young Miracle Doctor didn’t seem willing to take disciples, which was quite troublesome.

Meanwhile, Lin Dong was chatting with the Medicine King.

”Medicine Elder Wang, your Medicine King Hall is the largest Chinese medicine shop in Jiangnan Province. I would like to ask if you have any herbs that are more than a hundred years old. If so, I would like to purchase them from you!” Lin Dong said.

This was the purpose of his visit.

Upon hearing this, Medicine King shook his head, ”Originally, our Medicine King Hall had a treasure of the shop, Polygonum multiflorum of several hundred years age, but a while ago, I gave it to Ye Linglong.”

”So now, we don’t have any of the hundred-year-old herbs you mentioned...”

Lin Dong knew about this.

The several-hundred-year-old Polygonum multiflorum that Ye Linglong took back to Jianghai eventually ended up in Lin Dong’s hands.

”Gone huh...” Lin Dong felt it was a pity, not expecting even the largest Chinese medicine shop in Jiangnan Province to lack the heavenly and earthly treasures he needed.

This showed just how rare heavenly and earthly treasures were!

However, just as he was feeling somewhat dejected, a voice came from the side.

”Young Miracle Doctor, do you need several hundred years old Tai Sui?”

The speaker was none other than Old Divine Doctor Li Qingyang.

Lin Dong immediately looked at him and eagerly asked, ”Yes, Old Divine Doctor Li Qingyang, do you have it?”

”Haha, yes! I just received it recently! A farmer who went up the mountain to chop firewood discovered it and brought it to sell at my medicine shop. I spent three million to buy it!”

”I brought it to the provincial city this time, initially planning to present it as a congratulatory gift to Ye Linglong at her promotion banquet tomorrow night. However, if you need it, Young Miracle Doctor, I am prepared to give it to you instead.”

Hearing this, Lin Dong was overjoyed.

Tai Sui, also known as Ganoderma.

A hundred-year-old Tai Sui had medicinal properties not inferior to the several-hundred-year-old Polygonum multiflorum, and even among the many heavenly and earthly treasures, it was considered top-notch.

He had not anticipated that even though Medicine King Hall didn’t have the urgently needed heavenly and earthly treasures, Old Divine Doctor Li Qingyang did.

And he was even so kind as to consider gifting it to him.

This seemed to be a case of ’East is not bright, West is bright.’

But just as he was filled with immense surprise,

Old Divine Doctor Li Qingyang stroked his beard laughingly and said,

”Young Miracle Doctor, I am willing to gift you the hundred-year-old Tai Sui, but, well, I have one condition.”
