3520: The Famous Doctor Elder Yang

The Famous Doctor Elder Yang

The steward looked displeased when his explanation was interrupted. He glanced at Yu Chengde and managed to keep a smile on his face before saying, "Patriarch Yu, our Centennial Herbs Tower always abides by the rules when doing business. Didn't we immediately inform you as soon as the issue arose? The decision is still yours to make, as you've already paid half of the money. If you pay the other half, the spirit herb is yours. However, that guest said he knows you and wishes to speak with you once he learned you wanted this spirit herb."1

Yu Chengde listened with a frown and then replied, "Bring the spirit herb, I need to return quickly." Clearly, he had no desire to meet this acquaintance. 

This spirit herb was one of the crucial components mentioned by Madam Ling. The other person, even if they were an acquaintance, couldn't take the herb away from him, so it didn't matter if they met or not.

The steward acknowledged this and turned to fetch the herb. However, when he returned, he was followed by an elderly man in a grey robe.

"I never thought it would be so difficult to see you!" The elderly man entered the room with a displeased expression, his gaze resting on Yu Chengde.

"Yang, Elder Yang? Why are you here?" Yu Chengde was stunned after recognizing the elderly man and immediately rose to greet him.

The elder before him was none other than the famous Doctor Elder Yang, not only a renowned doctor but also a Saint-rank alchemist with a high reputation across the continent.

Yu Chengde had taken his family to seek medical treatment from Elder Yang some time ago and never expected to encounter him here.

Elder Yang entered the room with his hands behind his back and glanced at the box on the table. "I heard there was Millennium blood-red heart grass here, so I hurried over. I was astonished to discover that you had already bought it."

"Yes, I was quicker than Elder Yang by chance. My father has an urgent need for this herb, so I'm sorry, but I cannot give it to you," Yu Chengde said apologetically.

It would have been a different story had it not been for Elder Yang. Even if Yu Chengde had to decline, he had to maintain a pleasant expression. After all, it's not good to offend a Doctor who could save lives.

Elder Yang frowned when he heard this. "Your father? Who told you that your father needs this Millennium Blood-Red Heart Grass? This herb itself is toxic. Most people cannot refine its toxicity. If you use it without refinement, it's a deadly poison!"

Elder Yang continued, shaking his head, "You are acting recklessly in trying to save your father. If you give him this Millennium blood-red heart grass, your father will be beyond saving in less time than it takes for an incense stick to burn."

Yu Chengde was shocked and said, "That…that shouldn't be the case. Madam Ling, who examined my father, said if I bring this herb back, she can wake him up. She knows medicine. If she says so, there must be a way."

He felt uneasy even as he said this. If it were someone else who said this, it wouldn't matter as much, but this was Elder Yang. Who was Elder Yang? When they encounter him, various patriarchs would greet him with the utmost respect and a friendly smile. He was not someone who would make false statements over a spirit herb. Yet Madam Ling didn't seem to be a reckless person either. This…
