Wei Yangze strode forward: "Xiao Qing, you're awake?"

Wei Qing's voice was hoarse: "What... happened to me?"

Luo Chang exclaimed in surprise, then stepped forward to check and said with a look of astonishment, "It's all right now."

After a preliminary examination, he found that Wei Qing's vital signs had stabilized and he was not in immediate danger. He only needed to rest for a while longer to fully recover.

It truly is a miracle.

Wei Yangze smiled happily: "That's great, that's great, Dr. Zhang, thank you so much for saving Xiao Qing."

Although Leng Juan was also very happy, her eyes revealed sadness.

Cen Zhi exclaimed excitedly, "As expected of the Nine Needles that save lives! I actually witnessed it with my own eyes. I am ashamed of my own inferiority."

Sheng Jian'an opened his mouth in surprise: "Dr. Cen, didn't you tell the teacher before that the Nine Life-Saving Needles are all fake?"

Cen Zhi: "I was afraid your teacher was too obsessed, so I told a white lie."

Sheng Jian'an turned to look at Luo Chang, who was looking at Zhang Fan with admiration. Luo Chang slowly clenched his fist at his side, his nails digging deep into his palm without him even noticing.

Luo Chang smiled broadly: "Old Cen, wasn't it worth the trip?"

Cen Zhi wiped away his tears of emotion: "My father has no regrets in dying!"

The Nine Life-Saving Needles are said to have been created by a Taoist physician, and this set of needling techniques has a total of 81 combinations.

In ancient times, sanitation conditions were poor, and plagues would break out every now and then. This Taoist doctor used the Nine Life-Saving Needles to treat the people of five cities and stop the spread of the plague.

Legend has it that this Taoist doctor attained immortality after going deep into the mountains, leaving behind only a medical book on the nine life-saving needles.

This medical book changed hands many times before finally being lost.

There are only a few words recorded about the Nine Life-Saving Needles. Cen Zhi had always felt that the ancient records were exaggerated. Now, after reading Zhang Fan's medical book, he realized that he was too ignorant. The Nine Life-Saving Needles do indeed have this ability.

Leng Juan: "Wei Yangze, there's no problem with Dr. Zhang's medical skills. Shouldn't you keep your promise?"

Wei Yangze smiled and said, "Of course."

He clapped his hands, and three women dressed in fitted cheongsams walked over. They were all pretty, with curvaceous figures and high heels, exuding femininity. Each of them carried a tray covered with a red cloth.

Wei Yangze: "These are all for Dr. Zhang's medical expenses."

A beautiful woman swayed her hips as she walked over, her eyes gleaming with a seductive smile at Zhang Fan. Zhang Fan, however, was completely focused on the tray and paid no attention to her.

The red cloth was unfurled, revealing a tray piled high with bright red banknotes, estimated to be around 500,000.

The first beautiful woman returned her card, and the second beautiful woman walked over with an even more graceful sway of her waist. The red cloth was opened, and the golden light shone on Zhang Fan's face, making it gleam.

The third beautiful woman walked over, carrying a tray with a jade gourd of emerald green, brimming with rich spiritual energy, ten times more so than the spiritual energy emanating from his bracelet and jade pendant.

Moreover, judging from his observation, the jade gourd was not yet full of spiritual energy, and it could still hold a lot of spiritual energy. It might even absorb all the spiritual energy in the spirit stone cave.

This is the jade artifact he has been searching for; with it, he can take away all the spiritual energy of the Spirit Stone Cave.

Wei Yangze: "Is Doctor Zhang satisfied?"

Zhang Fan replied calmly, "Mm."

Wei Yangze suddenly felt a sense of admiration for Zhang Fan; this young man was truly composed.

Zhang Fan wasn't unmoved; rather, he was afraid that if he got agitated, he wouldn't be able to earn money for medical expenses next time.

He could tell at a glance that Wei Yangze was not in good health and would definitely come to him later.

Sheng Jian'an stared at the tray. The thought that he had tried so hard but could not get it, while Zhang Fan could get it so easily, made him feel like a huge rock was pressing down on him, making it hard to breathe.

If Zhang Fan dies, will all this money be his?

Just as Zhang Fan was about to leave, he glanced at Wei Qing and noticed that the jade pendant hanging around his neck looked familiar.

However, he didn't pay any attention and asked someone to get a plastic bag to put everything on the tray together.

Wei Yangze's lips twitched slightly; this Zhang Fan was truly different from the others.

Just as they were about to get into the car, Cen Zhi and Luo Chang jogged over, saying, "Young friend, wait a moment."

Zhang Fan placed the plastic bag on the seat: "What's up?"

Cen Zhi cupped his hands and said, "Young friend, your medical skills are superb. You shouldn't be stuck here. Why don't you come with me to the capital? We'll definitely make the entire Chinese medicine community take notice."

Zhang Fan shook his head; "Not considering it for now."

This is his home, and he doesn't want to leave for the time being.

A hint of disappointment flashed across Cen Zhi's face. After thinking for a while, he said, "Young friend Zhang, I heard that although you know the Nine Needles for Saving Lives, you haven't systematically studied traditional Chinese medicine. If you're willing, I can teach you everything I've learned in my life."

Luo Chang: "This is something so many people dream of. Young friend Zhang is really lucky."

Zhang Fan replied calmly, "No need."

The Wuji Jing is far superior to Cen Zhi's medical skills, so he has no need to.

Cen Zhi looked disappointed, and Luo Chang said regretfully, "Think about it again, this is a rare opportunity."

Cen Zhi: "Young friend Zhang, you can consider it. If you change your mind, you can come to me anytime."

Zhang Fan nodded: "Okay."

Hearing this from the shadows, Sheng Jian'an gritted his teeth.

Previously, Luo Chang had always claimed that he was Cen Zhi's prized student, but now it seems he was just lying to himself. Previously, when his sister wanted to become Cen Zhi's disciple, Luo Chang refused to help her.

Now, not only did he take the initiative to call Cen Zhi over from Kyoto, but he also persuaded Zhang Fan to become Cen Zhi's master.

Sheng Jian'an watched the car drive away, his eyes filled with hatred.

Instead of going straight home, Zhang Fan went to a bank next to the antique street to deposit the gold. Since the amount was quite large, Zhang Fan called the branch manager in advance to let him know.
