Just for these simple movements?”

“Definitely, how can you learn real skills without paying?

You might not know this, but Master Feng’s tutoring fees are really expensive.

It’s two thousand US dollars per person for a term, and a term is only a month.”

Wow, that’s quite pricey.

“That’s brutal.

The authorities just let them make money like this?”

Lao Wang looked indifferent: “How could they?

Even though these folks run schools so openly, they still have to cooperate with the higher-ups.

Most of these tuition fees have to be handed over.”

“I’ll say.

Others might not know their situation, but we do.”

They’re all just con artists, who doesn’t know who?

Despite Master Feng seeming so capable, these tricks are old news to us.

The Chinese people’s awareness against scams has risen sharply these years.”

Zhao Guang nodded, so that’s how it is, it turns out the money was handed over.

Indeed, otherwise it would be similar to the case of that person who was taken away that I saw before.

Cheating foreigners and deceiving our own people are completely different things.

“But speaking of which, why does our country need so much foreign exchange?

Hasn’t the amount already started to be significantly reduced?”

Lao Wang gave him a look as if he didn’t understand the ways of the world: “Having it is better than not, right?

Who complains about having too much money?

It makes things so much easier.”

Alright, that makes sense.

If it were me, I might be even greedier.

“You know, if it weren’t for the appearance of that master, we wouldn’t have these benefits.

Just last month, they found a problem with my old man’s spine.

He was supposed to take a foreign medicine for it, which was way too expensive.

He was thinking about not getting treated, but now that medicine has suddenly been included in the medical insurance.

We’re so grateful to that master.”

“What does that have to do with that master?” Zhao Guang was puzzled.

I don’t recall doing anything, and it’s not like someone else is pretending to be me.

“You really don’t get it.

Wait till you’re sick, then you’ll understand.”

An elder patiently began to explain: “You, young man, how come you’re more outdated than we are?

Spend more time watching videos on the internet, then you’ll get it.”

“Recently, that master destroyed the base of a kidney trafficking gang, didn’t he?

They found a lot of information inside that suggests collaborations with some foreign medical institutions.”

“I know, but wasn’t that information never released?

And they denied it too.”

“Of course, they wouldn’t acknowledge it.

But that’s just them being stubborn on the surface.

We’re giving them face.

Who doesn’t know the real story behind the scenes?”

That’s true.

Even without that information, everyone knows what’s going on.

After all, those things aren’t something ordinary people would spend money on.

And even if they did buy them, ordinary people wouldn’t know how to use them.

The places that perform such operations frequently, that’s usually where the flows go.

“Officially, they haven’t said anything.

But didn’t our country announce a new list a couple of days ago?

On that list, many foreign drugs saw a big price drop, and how many were included in the medical insurance as well?”

“33 new drugs were added to the medical insurance.

If it weren’t for that, your old man…

In a few days, I would have been coming over for the funeral rites.” Another elder looked at the lady with a sense of relief.

Lucky person.

Just after being diagnosed with a severe condition, immediately there are cheaper drugs available.

If it had been before, just thinking about it is pitiful.

“It’s not 33 anymore, today they added two more.

Now it’s 35.”

An even older Lao Wang came over, adeptly using his smartphone as he walked.

Speaking of which, it’s rare to see an elder of his age this proficient with a smartphone.

“And by the way, lately there have been a lot of foreigners coming to our country.

Who knows if they are here to travel or to work.”

“Pfft, travel?

They’re obviously here to practice Qigong.”

It seems even they know that quite a few foreigners are constantly trying to make their way into our country.

They are trying to find those so-called masters, but it’s unclear exactly what they want to do.

Sure, it might be practicing Qigong on the surface, but Zhao Guang always felt like they couldn’t possibly be that rule-abiding.

It couldn’t be that they want to secretly capture and then take them back for research?

That’s highly possible.

In that case, I need to be even more careful not to expose myself.

With so many official fraudsters around, even if I were to directly reveal myself, no one would believe me if I didn’t make a show of it.

But I really hadn’t expected those medical organizations and pharmaceutical companies to actually cave in.

I originally thought it was the evidence that would make them bow, but now it seems it was due to the master’s influence.

Was it a direct order from their own country?

Zhao Guang shook his head, not able to make sense of it all.

“Well, it’s good news, isn’t it?” Zhao Guang smiled.

“For sure.

Not only is the foreign money earned from our country reduced, but we also get to earn more.

Look at how they’re leading their little lives, they can’t even perform the movements properly.”

“Exactly, look at the people next to them, they do it even better.”

Zhao Guang suddenly noticed that there were also some elders nearby, imitating the movements with great seriousness.

“Those are our country’s people, aren’t they?

Did they also pay the fees?”

“How could that be?

These are just the regulars from the plaza practicing Tai Chi.

This was originally used to dupe foreigners, but some of our own people ended up tricked as well,” Lao Wang said with a look of disappointment, but there’s nothing to be done if they volunteered.

“Such simple movements, why do foreigners have to pay for them?”

“It’s because Master Feng told them, ‘Movements are just assistive.

The real core Cultivation Technique requires a fee to learn.'”

So there’s a core Cultivation Technique too, huh?

Wonder what that is.

Zhao Guang noticed that some people were occasionally flipping through a booklet.

Perhaps that’s the supposed core Cultivation Technique.

Then there are others, who from time to time close their eyes to adjust their breathing, looking more like they’re channeling spirits than anything.

“Ah, some people just don’t have a clue.

Isn’t Lao Wang’s kid just like that?

He’s about to give his dad an aneurysm,” someone said.

The crowd looked towards the group, where although the majority were foreigners, there were also those few conned Chinese.

Among them, some were young folks, young in age but flawed in thinking.

So expensive yet they followed to practice, but then there’s no way to refute them either.

After all, such matters can’t be openly discussed, at least not in front of those foreign apprentices.

These people, many of them had experienced the Qigong craze back in the day when there were even more tricks than now.

With their insight, they could see at a glance what was wrong with these enthusiasts.
