Chapter 67 A Generous Thank-You Gift
"Thank you, Doctor Chen, for your care these days."
In a small courtyard halfway up the mountain, the young master of the Wei family was being supported by the family servants and bowed slightly to the old doctor to express his gratitude.
"Young master, there is no need to be so polite. Remember, after you go back, you still need to rest more, pay attention to conditioning, and heal your injuries well." The old doctor advised.
"Zi'an remembered."
After expressing his thanks, Young Master Wei, with the help of his servants, slowly walked into a sedan chair.
His wounds have not yet fully healed and his body is still weak, so he cannot be exposed to the wind for too long.
On the way back, you can only sit in a soft sedan that can block the wind to prevent the disease from entering the body.
The Wei family's chief steward, seeing this scene, couldn't help but nodded slightly.
These days, he discovered that after this life-and-death experience, the young master had become calmer and no longer as naughty as before.
In the past, it was not easy for him to thank a doctor.
So even though he encountered a great disaster this time and almost lost his life.
But if the young master can really change because of this, then it can be considered a blessing in disguise and not a bad thing.
After the young master entered the sedan chair, Chief Steward Wei stepped forward.
"Doctor Chen, my son was lucky enough to wake up this time and survive. He has recovered very well and has no serious illness. This is all thanks to your miraculous healing skills and compassion."
"For this, everyone in the Wei Mansion is deeply grateful."
"Here are some small gifts prepared by our wife as a token of gratitude to Dr. Chen for taking care of our young master these days."
After saying this, the Wei family's chief steward waved his hand, and two guards carried up a large box, while the other two guards each held some small boxes and other items.
The Wei family's chief steward took a small box from a guard and opened it.
I saw a dazzling golden light, and inside there were rows of small golden ingots.
When the big box was opened again, it was shining brightly with silver light, and inside was actually a big box full of silver ingots.
"Old Doctor Chen, here are ten thousand taels of silver and one thousand taels of gold. Please accept them."
The old doctor looked at the gold and silver in the box, and his expression did not change much.
He sighed and said, "Your Majesty is really too polite. I am just doing my duty as a doctor. I really don't deserve such a generous gift."
"Old Doctor Chen, you are too modest. My young master is of noble status and is the apple of my lady's eye. You cured him, which means you saved our lady's life. This little gift can only represent a tiny fraction of our gratitude to you."
"In addition to these golden and white things, the other one is the generous gift that my wife prepared for you, Doctor Chen."
As he spoke, the Wei family's chief steward opened another box and took out a book from it.
"This copy of the Qing Nang Medical Classic was specially sent by Madam to be given to Old Doctor Chen."
"What, Qing Nang Medical Classic?"
The old doctor wanted to continue to refuse, but when he heard this, he was suddenly shocked.
"But is it the Qing Nang Medical Classic written by the legendary medical saint?"
"Yes, it is the Qing Nang Medical Classic which embodies the life's work of the legendary medical saint." The chief steward of the Wei family nodded with a smile.
At this point, the old doctor couldn't say no anymore.
The Qing Nang Medical Classic, written by the legendary medical saint, was extremely attractive to a pure doctor like him who was obsessed with medical skills.
He had long admired this medical classic.
Unfortunately, any family that obtains the "Qing Nang Medical Classic" will only treasure it up as a family heritage and will never show it to others easily.
As a result, in the first half of his life, he never had the chance to read this medical book that fascinated countless doctors.
Now, hearing that what the Wei family had sent was actually this medical classic, the old doctor's heart suddenly became tangled.
The Wei family's chief steward noticed the old doctor's hesitation.
He smiled brightly: "Doctor Chen, why should you worry so much? This Qing Nang Medical Classic can only reflect its true value when it falls into the hands of a great doctor like you who has great medical skills and a kind heart."
"Healing the sick and saving lives, saving the dying and healing the wounded, is the belief of doctors."
"I think that when the medical saint wrote this book, he didn't want his life's work to be shelved like this, right? Instead, he hoped that it could save countless lives and help doctors to better treat diseases and save lives."
"With your medical skills, Doctor Chen, if you can get the help of the Qing Nang Medical Classic, I'm afraid your medical skills can be further improved. This will be a blessing for countless patients."
Hearing this, Doctor Chen's heart suddenly became clear.
He gladly took the medical manual and said with a smile, "What the chief steward said is right. It is me, an old man, who is obsessed with appearances."
Lu Qing watched this scene from the side and thought to himself that it was amazing.
This chief steward of the Wei family is indeed extraordinary.
With just a few words, he convinced the master to accept the thank-you gift.
However, what Lu Qing didn't expect was.
After sending out the Qing Nang Medical Classic, the Wei family's chief steward turned his attention to him again.
"As for Young Master Lu and Young Lady Lu, our Madam has also prepared a small gift for them."
Lu Qing was stunned: "Xiaoyan and I also have thank-you gifts?"
"Of course, I heard that when our young master was first sent here, Young Master Lu spent all day and night in the pharmacy preparing and boiling medicines, and his contribution was not small. Naturally, our Wei family would not dare to ignore this kindness."
The Wei family's chief steward opened another box.
"I see that Young Master Lu is not only proficient in pharmacology, but also extremely talented in martial arts. At such a young age, he has already reached the Qi and Blood Realm. It will not be difficult for him to break through the Muscle and Bones Realm and enter the Internal Organs Realm in the future."
"As for medical skills, with the guidance of old doctor Chen, my young master will surely have a smooth career in medicine in the future. It is only a matter of time for him to become a great doctor. There is no need for us to add unnecessary details."
"In the martial arts world, talent is important, but training resources are also indispensable, so my wife specially gave you two thank-you gifts."
"This secret book records a secret technique of the tendon and bone realm, and there is also this bottle of elixir, called the Bone Forging Pill, which is quite useful for warriors in the tendon and bone realm."
"I think it is my wife's help to help Mr. Lu on his future martial arts journey."
The thank-you gift that the Wei family gave to Lu Qing was actually a secret martial arts technique and a bottle of elixir, and all of them were things that could only be used at the tendon and bone realm.
"Bone Strengthening Pill?" Doctor Chen was slightly surprised. "But that is the Bone Strengthening Pill that is said to allow a warrior in the Bone Realm to strengthen his bones and muscles by 30%?"
"It is this elixir that is used by ordinary strong men in the tendon and bone realm. When they have cultivated to perfection, their tendons and bones have grown to the limit and can no longer make any progress. They can only look for a breakthrough in their internal organs from the outside to the inside." The Wei family's chief steward replied.
"And this bone-strengthening pill can break this rule, allowing even warriors who have reached the great perfection of the tendon and bone realm and whose tendons and bones have reached their limit to have their tendons and bones strengthened by 30% again."
When Lu Qing heard this, he realized how valuable these two thank-you gifts were.
Let’s not talk about the secret technique of the tendons and bones for now, but this bone-strengthening pill is too precious.
Pills that can break limits and enhance a warrior's martial arts foundation and potential are extremely precious no matter where they are placed.
In the eyes of some warriors in the Muscle and Bone Realm, the thank-you gift given to him by the Wei family is probably more valuable than the one from his master.
"Master."
Feeling the value of this thank-you gift, Lu Qing did not reach out to take it directly, but looked at the old doctor.
The old doctor also felt that this thank-you gift was too valuable.
But he changed his mind and realized that since he had already accepted such a precious medical classic as the Qing Nang Medical Classic, why should he act like a child?
He nodded to Lu Qing: "Since it is the good intention of the Wei family, then you should accept it."
Only then did Lu Qing reach out and take the box.
Seeing Lu Qing accept the thank-you gift, the Wei family's chief steward smiled.
No one knew that Lu Qing actually proposed this thank-you gift to his wife.
During this period, the Wei family's chief steward lived in a small courtyard halfway up the mountain to take care of the young master and could see Lu Qing every day.
Then, he was surprised to discover something.
Lu Qing is a true martial arts genius.
Although Lu Qing never practiced in front of him, he could feel that the energy and blood in Lu Qing's body was becoming stronger day by day.
His progress was so fast that even he, who was used to seeing all kinds of young talents, was shocked.
This shock was even greater when he learned from the villagers of Qili Village who occasionally went up the mountain to seek medical treatment that Lu Qing had officially become the disciple of Doctor Chen for only a month.
He realized that Lu Qing's talent in martial arts was probably even more exaggerated than he had imagined.
After realizing this, the Wei family's chief steward immediately considered how to make friends with this rare martial arts genius.
Therefore, the reason why the Wei family sent such a generous thank-you gift this time.
In addition to thanking Dr. Chen for saving his young son's life.
More importantly, I just wanted to make friends with this master and disciple.
For the Wei family, if they could spend a little bit of resources, they could gain the favor of a great doctor and a future martial arts master.
Then this investment is a huge profit.
After giving Lu Qing a thank-you gift, the next gift for Xiaoyan was much simpler.
They were just some small jewelry and clothes that girls liked. Although they were not cheap, they were much more ordinary than those of Lu Qing and the others.
"Old Doctor Chen, Young Master Lu, we have met each other in the mountains and rivers. We will escort you back first. When you two come to the county government in the future, you must come to our Wei Mansion as guests and let us do our best to be the hosts."
After sending all the things out, Chief Steward Wei bowed and said.
"If my master and I go to the county government, we will definitely pay you a visit. Please be careful on your way back." said the old doctor.
"Thank you for your kind words."
The Wei family's chief steward bowed again to Doctor Chen and Lu Qing before turning away.
He ordered the guards: "Go back home!"
At the command, the guards immediately took action.
Several tall guards of the Muscle and Bone Realm each grabbed one side of the sedan chair, lifted it up gently, and walked down the mountain.
The mountain road was uneven, but the sedan was very stable under the control of the guards, and the bumps were almost imperceptible.
After everyone had walked down, Chief Steward Wei was the last one to walk down the mountain. He bowed to Lu Qing and Doctor Chen again before walking down the mountain.
The old doctor wanted to refuse, but the Wei family's chief steward was very determined.
