Chapter 253: Chapter 253: Two Bu Yuan Dan_1

Xu Fan paid no attention to Lin Shutong’s words; after all, she was just a modern person born into a technological society, utterly incapable of comprehending such supernatural matters.

However, Lin Yaoshi had lived through times before the establishment of the nation, right up to the present, experiencing countless strange and unaccountable incidents, so he harbored no doubts about Xu Fan’s words.

In fact, whether it be current medical science or other fields of science, there are some things that are ultimately beyond resolution.

Such issues indeed could only be resolved through such metaphysical means.

“Xu, my young friend, how should we treat this possession ailment of my old brother? Do we need to call in a sorcerer or a high monk?” Lin Yaoshi stroked his three-stranded beard and asked Xu Fan.

“Yes, Master Xu, it is said that within the Zhonghai Ci’an Temple, there is a Master Fa Ming whose mana is deeply profound. If he could take care of it, I’ll drive to Ci’an Temple right now,” Sun Lihua said beside them, his voice filled with urgency.

“There’s no need to call for any great master. Since I can diagnose it, of course, I can handle it,” Xu Fan said slowly, shaking his head: “Go prepare several good-quality jade stones for me, and bring me a piece of paper and pen while you’re at it.”

“Alright, alright, I’ll go get them ready now!” Upon hearing that Xu Fan had a solution, a glimmer of hope flashed through Sun Lihua’s eyes, and he hurried out the door.

High-quality jade wasn’t something that could just be taken at will, but paper and pen were simple enough. No sooner had Sun Lihua left than a servant of the Sun Family brought over a beautifully made notebook and an imported Parker pen with a gold-plated exterior.

“Elder Lin, I might need to trouble you to have the pharmacy prepare another batch of medicinal ingredients to send over. This elderly gentleman’s body has been invaded by evil qi, and his vital energy is deficient. I need to refine two Bu Yuan Dan elixirs for him. With these two elixirs, after I expel the evil qi from his body, he will recover more quickly,” Xu Fan said to Elder Lin in a measured tone.

“No problem, as long as I, Lin Yaoshi, can find the medicine, even if I have to sell the pot and iron, I will get it. Please, my young friend Xu, make sure to cure his illness,” Elder Lin said to Xu Fan, cupping his hand in a fist as a sign of firm commitment.

“Rest assured, Elder Lin, since I have spoken of it, I will definitely be able to cure him.”

Having said this, Xu Fan picked up the pen and began writing the list of ingredients needed for the Bu Yuan Dan on the notebook, swiftly and powerfully. Bu Yuan Dan was not too formidable an elixir, with all the ingredients needed for it purchasable for merely a few hundred thousand. Moreover, as Elder Lin’s pharmacy sold the ingredients at cost price, the actual expenses weren’t substantial.

Sun Lihua had spent the past few years taking his father to top hospitals around the world, spending tens of millions on medical costs without even determining the cause of the illness. Whereas Xu Fan only needed a jade stone and medicinal ingredients worth a few hundred thousand to restore Sun Lihua’s father to health; in comparison to Elder Lin’s financial tolerance, this price fell far short.

“Young friend, are you sure that just this much ingredient will be enough to replenish his vital energy?” After looking over the prescription, Elder Lin asked with uncertainty.

After all, most of the ingredients listed were over ten years old, which was a far cry from the hundred-year-old ingredients Xu Fan had purchased the day before. Without a bit of flattery, the Zhi Shen Tang pharmacy warehouse in Zhonghai City could supply any amount of such quality ingredients needed.

“Haha, this is the quantity for two Bu Yuan Dan. I see that this elder was also a martial artist in the past. Unfortunately, because of the evil qi invading his body, his Martial Dao Cultivation has been almost completely eroded as well. Consuming one Bu Yuan Dan can heal his body; taking two will allow him to regain the Martial Dao strength he lost,” Xu Fan said in a light tone.

“What? Can he even recover the power he lost?” Elder Lin was utterly astonished.

Initially, by inviting Xu Fan over, Elder Lin had hoped at best to save the life of his old friend. To his surprise, Xu Fan, when making a move, did so with astonishing efficacy—not only aiming to exorcise the evil qi from the body but also to treat the patient and potentially restore the lost Martial Dao Cultivation.

If this does not qualify someone as a divine healer, then who would be worthy of such a title?

“The skills of my young friend Xu are truly the most profound and inscrutable I’ve seen in my lifetime, worthy of the highest admiration,” Elder Lin said to Xu Fan, his voice carrying a hint of melancholy.

Elder Lin had nurtured countless medical experts in his life but never imagined their skills would pale in comparison to even being qualified to assist Xu Fan. Even someone like himself, who had been hailed as a prominent figure in Yan Country’s medical community, seemed lackluster before Xu Fan.

“Elder Lin, you overstate the case. I, Xu Fan, have only saved a few people. There is a vast world out there with countless beings requiring salvation by true healers such as yourselves, which is far from my expertise,” Xu Fan humbly stated.

“Not an expert? You’re being too modest, and it makes this old man feel even more unworthy!” Upon hearing Xu Fan’s words, Elder Lin felt even more abashed.

“You really mustn’t think like that, Elder Lin. There’s an order to learning and a specialization in one’s craft. I just happen to know a bit more about these complex diseases. On the other hand, faced with ordinary illnesses and surgeries, I would be utterly helpless,” Xu Fan explained with humility to Elder Lin.

What Xu Fan said was indeed the truth, for he was only versed in the medical knowledge of the Cultivation World and knew nothing of the clinical medicine that had evolved in this world.

If Xu Fan were truly asked to perform surgery on someone, he wouldn’t know how to proceed.

However, it wasn’t that Xu Fan was completely helpless against such illnesses; in fact, his Spiritual Power could help him do many things that even the most advanced surgical devices couldn’t achieve. Even the several diseases that humankind has yet to conquer could be solved by Xu Fan.

It’s just that his treatment methods, suitable only for Cultivators to treat ordinary people, lacked universality and couldn’t be learned by the average person. Therefore, saying he was not truly a renowned physician was also accurate.

Just as the two were exchanging pleasantries, Sun Lihua, who had rushed out earlier, hurried back in, clutching a small wooden box.

“Master Xu, I’ve found the jade: there’s Mutton Fat Jade, Hetian Jade, jadeite, and agate, all top-notch pieces from the Sun Family’s collection!” Sun Lihua opened the box, immediately revealing several lustrous jade stones within.

Xu Fan glanced over the jade stones in the box, noting their high quality. Although they hadn’t reached the level of the Spirit Jade he had used for Tongtong’s Hello Kitty, they were still exceptional pieces seldom seen by most people.

Had this box of jade been placed in Wang Fangtong’s jade shop in Yulou Ancient Town, each piece would have been worthy of the third floor in Zangyu Tower, with each valued over a million. Combined, their total value was several million.
