Ch 299: Clinic Mystery

On February 10th, year 151 of Lingyan. Those patients who came to seek medical treatment recovered one after another under my careful treatment. In order to treat them, I used a large number of Spiritual Medicines from the clinic. For this reason, I asked them for Low-Grade Spirit Stones for treatment fees and medicine costs! Unexpectedly, the leading man said disdainfully, “You only charged Qu Yuan half price, so we are only worth half!”

So they all only gave half and left!

Meng Yan looked at this scene with tears in her eyes. In order to treat these people, I spent a lot of savings, and now I have lost everything. My wife knows my temper and can only watch me sulk!

At that time, I didn’t think, “So what? Losing some Spirit Stones is nothing. The most important thing for a doctor is to practice medicine to help the world!”

On February 15th, year 151 of Lingyan. I don’t know who spread the news that the Xuán Hú Medical Hall only charges half price for treatment. As a result, patients from the entire Lingyan City came running. For three consecutive days, the clinic was flooded with patients. The clinic’s losses became greater and greater. In order to keep the clinic running, I borrowed a large number of Spirit Stones from the Chang Family of Lingyan City!

On March 10th, year 151 of Lingyan. I drove those patients away because there were no more Spiritual Medicines in the clinic. Although those patients were unwilling, they could only leave cursing!

Xuán Hú Medical Hall could not continue to operate. The daily losses made me unknowingly owe five million Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

Meng Yan accidentally saw the bill in my hand and trembled with anger. She scolded me for not caring about her and our daughter! But what could I do? The clinic could not continue to operate, what about the Spirit Stones I owed!

On March 11th, year 151 of Lingyan. Today, an uninvited guest came to the clinic. The person from the Chang Family who was urging for debt arrived. The leader was none other than Qu Yuan, whom I had spent a great price to save.

The other people were also people I had treated. They did not care about any affection. Knowing that I could not pay them back, they had people restrain me and beat me half to death. After that, that group of beasts grabbed Meng Yan and my daughter Wu Yue into the clinic and defiled them.

At that time, my face was full of tears, snot and tears were flowing, my throat was already hoarse from shouting, and I was begging them bitterly, but all I got in return was indifference and ruthlessness, not even a bit of pity. Those neighbors who had been treated by me and pulled back from the gates of hell, when they heard the commotion coming from this side, actually pretended that nothing had happened one after another, and hurriedly fled the scene, for fear of being involved in this disturbance.

Just when I felt utterly hopeless, the Saint who was in charge of patrolling the city finally arrived late and appeared at the entrance of the clinic. At that moment, a glimmer of hope rekindled in my heart, like a drowning person grabbing the last straw. I staggered and threw myself in front of them, begging with all my might, hoping that they could uphold justice and bring the insane Qu Yuan and his gang to justice. However, what I never expected was that these so-called “Saints” not only turned a deaf ear to my request and refused to arrest the murderers, but instead took advantage of my misfortune and unreasonably snatched away my family’s ancestral Jade Pendant.

Watching their backs as they left, my heart was full of despair, and my body was tottering. I used all my strength and struggled to rush into the room. The scene before me was like a nightmare: Meng Yan and Wu Yun were lying on the side of the bed in tattered clothes, barely covering their bodies, and scarlet blood was gurgling out from under them, staining a large area of the ground red. Obviously, they had suffered unbearable humiliation and finally chose to end their lives to show their determination.

I widened my eyes and stared blankly at this tragic scene. My tears had long since dried up, leaving only silent sobs. I couldn’t figure it out. I had done good deeds and accumulated virtue all my life, saving countless lives and healing the wounded. I had never done anything against my conscience. Why would fate be so unfair and make me end up with my family ruined and my life destroyed? Where is justice! ……

Seeing this, the content of the book page came to an abrupt end. Meng Liunian couldn’t help but let out a long sigh, his heart filled with emotion. This Doctor Wu’s fate was really too tragic! However, it is now the year 260 of Lingyan, and he is already one hundred and twenty years old. For mortals, this is already the limit. If they cannot break through the Foundation Establishment Realm, their lifespan will be difficult to increase any further. Under normal circumstances, the longest lifespan of mortals will never exceed one hundred and forty years.

But the Doctor Wu seen before was only in his forties. What kind of secret is hidden in this? Could it be that he is the son of Wu Xingshi? This matter seems simple, but in reality, it is full of doubts!

Speaking of the current Lingyan City, the Chang Family can be described as a behemoth in its prime, and the scale of its power is staggering. Not only are there a large number of Foundation Establishment Experts, but the family’s business is spread all over every corner of Lingyan City.

Thinking of this, Meng Liunian did not hesitate to reach out and throw the yellowed book into the fire, watching it gradually turn into ashes. “In this way, this small clinic is probably not as simple as it seems on the surface. It can actually attract such a powerful family to carefully set up a plan to deal with it. Could it be that the Wu Family really hides some rare treasures!” With a heart full of doubts and curiosity, Meng Liunian immediately used his powerful Divine Sense to carefully search the entire clinic inch by inch.

Just then, suddenly, another mysterious Divine Sense swept past like lightning. Meng Liunian suddenly felt a shock in his heart, and his face changed instantly. Without the slightest hesitation, his figure swayed, like a ghost, and he sped away in the direction from which the Divine Sense came. He saw a black figure quickly merge into the forest not far away in the darkness.

Looking at the direction in which the Black-Robed Man left, Meng Liunian frowned slightly. He was being watched! Could it be that the city is about to change!

He did not chase after him, but turned around and returned to the clinic.

At this time, in the secret room of the Chang Family Mansion.

A Black-Robed Man knelt on the ground, “Family Head, Xuán Hú Medical Hall has opened, but nothing unusual has been discovered?”

Chang Anle, the current Family Head of the Chang Family, walked back and forth in the secret room. “That Wu Xingshi, hasn’t he returned?”

“No!”

“Okay, you may leave!”

“Yes!” The Black-Robed Man respectfully bowed and retreated.

Where exactly is that mysterious treasure in Wu Xingshi’s hands hidden? Time has passed for a full hundred years, but that guy has always kept his mouth shut, and has not revealed even a trace of a clue.

Thinking back to that year, when the tragic bloodbath of Changlang Street occurred, he was the only one who survived by chance. And for Saint Han Yu, this matter is like a thorn deeply rooted in his heart, making it difficult for him to let go for a long time. In that terrible incident, his younger sister Meng Yan unfortunately died. Even today, even though the clinic has changed hands, that person still has not revealed even the slightest clue.

Chang Anle sighed helplessly, slowly stretched out his hand, and casually took out a Jade Slip. He gently held the Jade Slip in the palm of his hand, mobilized the Spiritual Power in his body and injected it into it, transmitting a message: “The matter of Xuán Hú Medical Hall changing hands has been settled, and Wu Xingshi has disappeared without a trace like he has evaporated from the world!”

At this time, the entire situation became even more confusing. Slant-Eyed Dragon and Feng Ling, these two Saints, have entered Lingyan City together, I’m afraid that something earth-shattering is about to happen!

The next day, early in the morning. Meng Liunian issued a notice: The Spiritual Medicine prices at Xuán Hú Medical Hall have increased!

When a group of neighbors saw this, they were confused. The first day of opening was bustling with activity, and the second day the prices increased. What is this? Don’t you want to earn Spirit Stones?

When those patients saw this news, they turned around and left as soon as they arrived at the door. In their opinion, raising prices on the second day of opening means that either the medical skills are not good, and they are not confident in their medical skills; or their character is not good! Neither of these is acceptable!

Seeing this situation, Meng Liunian also became idle. Without patients, there was nothing to do at the clinic? Immediately, he gave up the idea of hiring an Apothecary Apprentice .

After staying in the clinic for a morning, no one came to the clinic. Meng Liunian smiled, unexpectedly this trick was so effective. In this way, the clinic will only be open for half a day from now on! The remaining time will be used for cultivation.

Just as Meng Liunian was sitting in the clinic, bored, a group of hooligans with sticks broke into the clinic.

“Hey, newcomer, from today onwards, thirty Low-Grade Spirit Stones per month, pay for one month first, hurry up and bring it here!” The leader stretched out his hand to demand.

Meng Liunian leaned halfway on the chair and said with a smile, “Which force are you from! I will be sure to pay my respects to you in the future!”

“Hmph! Qu Yuan, the strongest thug under Master Chang!” Qu Yuan said confidently.
