Chapter 188: Chapter 018: Testing Skills

Lin Shanshan sized up Long Fei, laughing teasingly to one side, "Brother-in-law, your method of picking up girls is way too OUT, isn’t it?"

Long Fei frowned and said, "What I’m saying is true, what ’picking up girls’?"

Lin Shanshan didn’t believe him; traditional Chinese medicine is profound and cannot be understood through self-study alone.

She said to Li Wenwen, "Wenwen, let him have a look. I want to see if he can spout some nonsense."

With nothing else to do, Li Wenwen handed over her wrist to him.

"Still don’t believe me? I’ll show you what a ’Divine Doctor’ is!"

Long Fei gave Lin Shanshan a look and placed his fingers on Li Wenwen’s wrist.

This young girl’s skin was smooth and fair, and she was actually quite attractive, if not for always wearing glasses and having that characteristic appearance of an engineering female student.

She did not possess the unique charm of a woman, which made her less dazzling compared to Lin Shanshan.

Despite Lin Shanshan’s words, it was true that Long Fei was taking her pulse.

However, Li Wenwen couldn’t shake the feeling that Long Fei was flirting with her, and her cheeks involuntarily turned red.

She asked, "What did you notice?"

Long Fei, with his eyes closed, had a thought swiftly come to mind, "You probably have a cold!"

Lin Shanshan immediately burst out laughing.

Li Wenwen also blushed and withdrew her arm, giving Long Fei a frustrated glance, thinking to herself that she was indeed being flirted with by this guy.

Lin Shanshan teased him, "Brother-in-law, when did you learn to be such a playboy? If you keep this up, I’m going to tell Sister."

Long Fei insisted, "It’s really a cold!"

Lin Shanshan giggled, "Of course, it’s a cold. Even we can tell that much!"

Long Fei shook his head, "Not quite, not quite. You only see the surface, but what I’m looking at is much deeper. You all know it’s a cold, but you don’t know what kind of cold it is!"

Lin Shanshan, curious, asked, "Aren’t all colds the same? What’s so special about it?"

Long Fei explained confidently, "See, this is where your lack of knowledge shows. There are many types of colds: wind-cold type, wind-heat type, seasonal colds, and colds due to qi deficiency, yin deficiency, blood deficiency, and so on. Each type of cold has its corresponding treatment. If you take the medicine for wind-heat type cold when you have a wind-cold type, it won’t be effective and can even worsen your condition."

In just a few sentences, he managed to stun both Lin Shanshan and Li Wenwen.

Such professional terms of traditional Chinese medicine are not something just anyone can spout.

Li Wenwen asked him, "So what kind of cold do I have?"

Long Fei asked her, "Have you been staying up late frequently lately?"

"Yes?"

Li Wenwen replied, wide-eyed in surprise.

Long Fei said, "That’s right. You belong to the type with weakened essential qi and blood, leading to pathogenic wind invading the body and causing a cold. If your essential qi and blood are not nourished, your illness won’t improve."

Li Wenwen and Lin Shanshan were half convinced and asked him, "So, how should it be treated?"

Long Fei casually said, "It’s quite simple. Just get some medicine that nourishes qi and blood to drink. A common prescription is Eight Treasures Decoction: take 10 grams each of Angelica, White Peony, Chuanxiong, Prepared Rehmannia, Ginseng, Atractylodes, Poria, and 5 grams of Licorice, simmer them gently to make a decoction. Also, don’t stay up late too often; it’s bad for your health."

Li Wenwen and Lin Shanshan both clicked their tongues, thinking he was getting more and more outrageous, even prescribing a medicinal recipe.

When it was their turn at the counter, Lin Shanshan hurriedly pulled Li Wenwen into the consultation room.

She wanted to see if Long Fei was talking nonsense or if he really had some skill.

Long Fei did not follow them in; he had his prescription ready, and once the girls came out, all he needed to do was follow up and get the herbs.

From the consultation room, two exclamations were soon heard.

After Lin Shanshan, pulling Li Wenwen, came out, they looked at Long Fei with expressions of disbelief.

The doctor inside had said exactly the same as he did.

In their hands, they held a prescription, with the weights of the ingredients matching perfectly.

Long Fei looked at their astonished faces and smiled smugly, full of self-satisfaction, "Don’t be infatuated with me, just consider me a legend."

"You conceited guy!"

Both Lin Shanshan and Li Wenwen laughed. They really couldn’t make sense of this man anymore.

They finished getting their medicine from the doctor.

Long Fei followed, saying, "Doctor, I also want to buy some medicine. Here’s my prescription!"

He took out his phone, opened the prescription, and showed it to the master.

The old master raised his eyebrows and stared at Long Fei for a moment, then turned his gaze to Lin Shanshan and Li Wenwen.

Lin Shanshan asked curiously, "Master, what are you looking at?"

The old master shook his head, "Nothing, it’s just that this prescription is quite surprising to me."

Lin Shanshan and Li Wenwen glanced at the phone and asked, "What’s wrong with the prescription?"

The old master looked at Long Fei and said, "I want to remind you that it’s normal for young people to have strong vital energy, so don’t take tonics indiscriminately. This prescription lists ginseng, deer antler velvet, dong quai, motherwort, and all these ingredients below, which are strong tonics for replenishing Qi and blood. If taken excessively, they could cause big problems!"

The three of them blushed simultaneously.

Neither Lin Shanshan nor Li Wenwen was a fool; they knew what the doctor meant.

They both gave Long Fei a cold look, thinking this guy must have overindulged in that activity and drained himself completely.

Long Fei, sweating profusely, hastened to explain to the old master, "Doctor, you’ve misunderstood. I’m buying this medicine for another purpose, not for that reason!"

The old master said, "I sell medicine, what you do with it is none of my concern. I’m just kindly offering you a word of caution. Besides, the cost of this prescription is quite high; just this fifty-year-old ginseng alone is about a hundred thousand. Are you sure you need all these?"

He noted that Long Fei was dressed plainly, not looking like a wealthy person.

Long Fei didn’t want to hear any more of his rambling, lest Lin Shanshan and Li Wenwen misunderstand his purity.

He took out his bank card and said directly, "Let’s go ahead with the card payment, just prepare the medicine according to the prescription."

The old master’s eyes widened in surprise; he didn’t expect Long Fei to be such a big spender.

Most people would at least inquire about the price before buying medicine.

This person didn’t ask at all and just proceeded to pay with the card.

After calculating the cost, the old master took the card, swiped it, and excitedly started preparing the medication.

One swipe, and a hundred fifty thousand was gone.

Long Fei took his bank card back with a light sigh.

He hadn’t expected that cultivation would be such an expensive undertaking.

The original prescription had mentioned the Hundred-Year Ginseng as most effective.

But to control costs, he had cut it down to fifty years.

Even then, it still cost so much that it made his heart ache.

Lin Shanshan looked him over, thinking this guy must be crazy to spend a hundred fifty thousand on medicine.

After the old master had prepared the medicine, he packed it in a large plastic bag.

Long Fei requested a box of silver needles; using them during acupressure was best for facilitating the flow of Qi.

The old master personally saw Long Fei out and gave him a business card, telling him to come back anytime he needed.

At the same time, the old master hoped Long Fei wouldn’t overdo the tonics and harm himself.

If so, he would lose a big customer.

The three walked home together, with Lin Shanshan and Li Wenwen deliberately keeping their distance from him as if Long Fei intended to take it out on them.

Long Fei really wasn’t in the mood for that.

He may have played it cool, but he’d just spent a hundred fifty thousand.

Wang Xiaoya was about to buy a house; if she found out he’d spent so much, she would surely kill him.

He looked at Lin Shanshan, whom he had recently invested three million in.

Since he had given her the money, it would seem petty to ask for it back now.

He thought about it; Wang Xiaoya wouldn’t settle on a house anytime soon.

If worse came to worst, he would just have to hit the casino and try his luck a couple more times.
