Chapter 587: Chapter 587: The Arrogant Third Master Lian

Even though Lian Qigang was skeptical of Chen Xuan’s abilities, with someone like Fang Chengqian, a luminary in the field of medicine vouching for him, he naturally had no choice but to believe.

And right now, it seemed he had no other options.

"You... can you really save my father?" Lian Qigang still looked at Chen Xuan with doubt.

Chen Xuan nodded, "As easy as turning my hand over!"

Everyone was astonished.

Everyone knew that the poison of the Five-Step Flower was almost incurable, even a renowned Divine Doctor like Fang Chengqian was helpless against it, yet this young man claimed it was as easy as flipping his hand?

Was this young man too arrogant, or did he truly possess such miraculous abilities?

Lian Qigang didn’t have the luxury to ponder these questions—his only thought at the moment was to free his father from his predicament to secure his own future interests.

"If that’s the case, then why aren’t you making your move already!"

Unlike his courteous treatment of Fang Chengqian, even in seeking help, Lian Qigang still carried an air of supremacy in front of Chen Xuan.

It was because, deep down, he didn’t think Chen Xuan was worthy.

Qin Hongyu couldn’t stand it any longer and said impatiently, "Is that the way to ask for help? You come across as so formidable, one would think we are the ones begging you!"

Lian Qigang was at a loss for words, his face alternating between shades of green and purple, obviously embarrassed but not daring to lose his temper.

Chen Xuan gestured with a hand to stop Qin Hongyu from continuing.

"I can save your father, but I want something from you," Chen Xuan stated his condition.

This gave Lian Qigang a way out.

Lian Qigang nodded immediately, "Alright, as long as you can cure my father, I will agree to anything you ask!"

"It’s a deal!"

With that, Chen Xuan immediately took out the Silver Needle and sealed Elder Master Lian’s meridians to prevent the spread of the Five-Step Flower’s poison.

Then, Chen Xuan walked over to the display cabinets and took out several medicinal pills, crushed them into powder, and mixed them together.

A moment later, Chen Xuan recombined the medicinal powder, forming a new batch of medicine.

The crowd was puzzled by his actions, and Lian Qigang furrowed his brows, as if a realization had struck him.

"You can’t possibly think that just with that thing, you can cure my father’s poison?" Lian Qigang asked incredulously.

To him, it seemed impossible.

Chen Xuan offered a serene smile, "You’ll know soon enough."

He said no more and proceeded to stuff the newly made medicine into Elder Master Lian’s mouth.

Before long, Elder Master Lian’s complexion visibly improved at a speed discernible to the naked eye, and his previously erratic breathing slowed to a steady rhythm.

After a few breaths, Elder Master Lian finally reopened his eyes!

"My heavens, it’s actually working!"

"To cure even the poison of the Five-Step Flower with such a simple method? This is way too miraculous!"

The onlookers buzzed with discussion.

Fang Chengqian was so excited that his face flushed with admiration, praising, "Miracle Doctor Chen is truly worthy of his reputation, impressive! Truly impressive!"

Even Lian Qigang was too shocked to speak. After approaching Elder Master Lian and making a few inquiries, confirming that Elder Master Lian was out of danger, he had people take Elder Master Lian away.

"How about that, now you know how formidable Chen Xuan is, don’t you?" Qin Hongyu was very proud, radiating a sense of shared glory.

At this point, Lian Qigang had no choice but to concede, "Indeed, it seems I underestimated you. You really do have some skill!"

Chen Xuan wasn’t interested in quarreling with Lian Qigang and stated his intent directly, "Since that’s the case, shouldn’t you fulfill your promise now?"

Lian Qigang, unhurried, responded, "Don’t worry, you saved my father, I definitely won’t shortchange you!"

With that, Lian Qigang took out a checkbook from his pocket and signed his name.

"Here’s one million, consider it my thanks to you!"

Lian Qigang tore off the check and handed it to Chen Xuan, his movements light and careless, as if he were bestowing alms.

Qin Hongyu was the first to find this intolerable. Although she had treated Chen Xuan in the same manner before, times had changed, and now seeing Lian Qigang’s manner, she felt nothing but disgust.

Qin Hongyu said sarcastically, "Chen Xuan saved your own father, just one million? Are you tipping a beggar, or is your father’s life worth so little to you?"

Lian Qigang was instantly enraged, "Insolence! How dare you disrespect my father, believe it or not, I’ll tear your mouth apart!"

Qin Hongyu snorted coldly, "As for who’s disrespecting your father, we’re not blind, can’t you see for yourself?"

The surrounding crowd showed embarrassed expressions but made no comment.

Many of them also felt that given Lian Qigang’s wealth, giving only one million to the man who saved his father did seem stingy.

However, these merchants relied on the Lian Family’s medicinal market to survive and naturally did not dare to speak much.

Fang Chengqian also felt it was unfair and, restraining himself, said to Lian Qigang, "Third Master Lian, Miracle Doctor Chen is the number one Divine Doctor in Liangjiang; his skills are worth their weight in gold. This one million you’ve offered is indeed somewhat light..."

"In my opinion, why not show a bit more sincerity Third Master Lian; this way, everyone can also see the benevolence of Lian Rentang, don’t you think?"

Fang Chengqian’s words were aimed at preserving face for both Lian Qigang and Chen Xuan, he was clearly making a painstaking effort.

Lian Qigang chuckled with a playful smile, "All right, since Miracle Doctor Fang has spoken, I will give you that much respect."

After speaking, Lian Qigang signed another check and handed it to Chen Xuan with an arrogant attitude.

"Here’s four million, add it to the previous one million, making a total of five million. How about that, is it enough to repay the favor?"

This time, the crowd began to nod slowly, showing agreement with Lian Qigang.

However, Chen Xuan shook his head, "You’ve misunderstood, I mentioned I wanted something, but I didn’t say I wanted money!"

"Oh?" Lian Qigang’s eyebrows rose, "Then what do you want?"

Chen Xuan pointed and said, "What I want is that Revival Grass!"

That was Chen Xuan’s sole purpose.

"Revival Grass?" Lian Qigang was startled at first, then burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, you keep saying you don’t want money, but it seems to me you’re crazed with greed!"

Immediately after, Lian Qigang’s smile faded, and he looked coldly at Chen Xuan, "You even know this is Revival Grass? You must also know how valuable it is."

"I’ll tell you the truth, this Revival Grass is one of the items to be auctioned tonight, and the starting bid alone is fifteen million!"

"You’ve only spent a mere fifteen minutes, and even the medicine you used was deducted from the Medicine we at Lian Rentang provided. With that, you still have the gall to ask me for a Revival Grass worth millions?"

"Your skin is really not ordinarily thick!"

Not just Lian Qigang, even the surrounding people shook their heads and smiled bitterly upon hearing Chen Xuan’s request, feeling that he was indeed too greedy!
