Chen Li was in a dilemma.

This old man is just a skeleton; how can he work like a beast of burden? If we really take him as an apprentice, we'll have to cover for him if he gets sick or paralyzed.

Would you do something that brings no benefit?

However, this old man isn't entirely useless.

Being hailed as a medical giant indicates that he is well-connected in the medical community of Yuncheng, which is perfect for helping to collect and purchase medicinal materials for treating internal injuries and refining the Meridian Opening Pill.

To refuse outright would be humiliating, so Chen Li helped him up and sighed:

"Doctor Zhao's gesture of respect is shortening my lifespan."

"To heal the sick and promote traditional Chinese medicine is the mission of every doctor."

"It's fate that we met. We can explore things further in the future; there's no need for the formal master-disciple relationship."

Zhao Qianshui's old eyes welled up with excitement, and her mouth trembled as she spoke:

"Young friend, not only are your medical skills extraordinary, but you also possess a strong sense of righteousness. It is truly an honor for this old man to make your acquaintance. I will certainly do my utmost to help you in the future!"

Cough cough cough...

Chen Li deliberately frowned and coughed, covering his mouth.

"Young friend, what is this...?"

Zhao Qianshui asked with concern.

"Alas, I was too hasty in my cultivation, which caused internal injuries. Just now, my internal energy agitated my meridians, causing my qi and blood to become disordered."

Chen Li explained.

"May I make an blunder and take your pulse to diagnose your condition?"

Zhao Qianshui inquired.

"sure."

Chen Li stretched out his arm.

Zhao Qianshui placed his fingers on his wrist, suddenly raised his eyebrows, and his old eyes lit up with surprise and fear.

Mu Dingshan noticed his reaction and asked curiously:

"Dr. Zhao, what about young friend Chen's injuries...?"

Zhao Qianshui replied:

"Young Friend Chen's internal injuries are quite severe, and it will likely take some time to fully resolve them. What truly astounds me is the sheer depth of Young Friend Chen's internal energy; he must be at least at the Grandmaster level, right?"

Grandmaster Realm!

Upon hearing this, Mu Dingshan coughed violently in agitation.

The Mu family's wealth accumulated over three generations has placed them among the elite families of Yuncheng. However, without a powerful figure to protect them, they have suffered much humiliation at the hands of other families.

He's alive and can still cope.

If he dies, the only one who can take on the responsibility in the next generation is his granddaughter Ning Shuang.

But without any support, she ultimately could not protect her family business.

With Chen Li in charge, the Mu family group has nothing to fear from competitors, and in just a few years, it will be able to join the ranks of top-tier wealthy families!

At that time, even if I died, I could die in peace.

"Grandpa, Grandpa, what's wrong?"

Mu Ningshuang didn't understand his thoughts, so she patted his back and asked anxiously.

"fine."

Mu Dingshan waved his hand and asked Zhao Qianshui:

"Now that the problem has been diagnosed, Dr. Zhao, how should it be treated?"

"I owe Young Master Chen my life, and the Mu family will bear the cost, no matter how much it costs."

This was a perfect opportunity to curry favor with Chen Li, attempting to bind him to their interests.

Chen Li feigned politeness and said:

"The medicinal herbs for treating internal injuries are quite valuable. I will slowly find a way, so there's no need for you to trouble yourself, Mr. Mu."

Mu Dingshan exclaimed excitedly:

"My life was given to me by Young Master Chen. If you refuse the Mu family's repayment, I'll kill myself with a single blow!"

Mu Ningshuang quickly took her grandfather's hand and advised him:

"Chen Li, just agree to my grandfather's request. He means what he says. If he kills himself, you won't get anything out of it!"

Given the current atmosphere, Chen Li had no choice but to go along with it and say:

"Grandpa, please don't be angry. I promise you. If you ever need my help in the future, just let me know."

"How about this, I'll prescribe two prescriptions. One prescription will contain medicine to stabilize the internal injuries and prevent them from worsening. The other prescription will contain ingredients that are hard to find, which will be used to refine a elixir to cure the internal injuries completely."

Zhao Qianshui quickly said:

"Alright, alright, young friend, quickly write down the prescription, I'll go find the herbs myself!"

Mu Dingshan summoned a servant to prepare paper and pen.

Chen Li was writing out the prescription, and Zhao Qianshui was watching beside him, unable to help but marvel at it:

"Young friend, your use of medicine is like a duel between masters, a risky move, yet breathtaking and awe-inspiring. Only an extraordinary physician would dare to prescribe medicine in this way. I admire you greatly!"

"The herbs on the first prescription are relatively easy to find, but some of the herbs on the second prescription are rare and expensive, and are available but not in the market."

Mudingshan Grand Avenue:

"As long as Doctor Zhao can find the medicinal herbs, the Mu family will cover all the expenses."

Zhao Qianshui took the prescription, looked at it carefully again, and then said:

"I will use my connections in the medical community of Yuncheng to find the medicinal herbs for you, young friend. If I cannot find them all, I will just kill myself and wait for my news."

Having said that, he couldn't wait to stay for the banquet and left in a hurry.

Mu Dingshan sent his granddaughter away to arrange a banquet to properly thank his benefactor.

Only Chen Li and Mu Dingshan remained in the room.

Mu Dingshan asked directly:

"Please enlighten me, Young Master Chen, what exactly is wrong with me?"

Chen Li took a sip of tea and said slowly:

"You've offended someone, haven't you? Someone poisoned you."

"This poison is colorless and odorless. Over a long period of time, it causes myocardial ischemia. It may seem like an old person's disease, but it is actually caused by the poison, and it is very difficult to detect in the hospital."

"The person who poisoned you is right next to you. Be more careful in the future."

Mu Dingshan narrowed his old eyes thoughtfully, then nodded after a moment, understanding the situation, and said:

"I already know what I'm doing and will handle this secretly. Please keep it a secret, Young Master Chen. Otherwise, it could cause a huge uproar and severely damage the Mu family."

This is a matter within a wealthy family, involving serious interests, so Chen Licai wouldn't meddle. He nodded and said:

"clear."

The luncheon is ready.

Mu Dingshan, having just recovered from a serious illness, insisted on staying with his savior.

During the meal, Mu Dingshan learned about Chen Li's life and background and intended to match him with his granddaughter Mu Ningshuang, asking her to drink with her savior on his behalf.

Before the banquet was over, Mu Dingshan, who had drunk three cups of wine, pretended to be drunk and had his servants help him back to his room to rest.

Mu Ningshuang got up to see her grandfather off, but felt dizzy and saw double vision. She realized that she had drunk enough.

She never imagined that she, who rarely got drunk, would get completely drunk every time she met Chen Li.

"Hey, take me home."

She clutched her tie, tilted her pretty face, flushed from the alcohol, her eyes glazed over, and spoke in a commanding tone with a hint of coquetry.

"What, so eager to pay off your debt?"

Chen Li revealed a wicked smile.

"Oh, what debt?"

She seemed to have forgotten what she had said.

"I'll pretend to be your fiancé to help you through this difficult time, and we'll have one more passionate night together."

Chen Li reminded him.

"You're such a stud, you never get tired, but I'm afraid it's not going to work out today..."

Mu Ningshuang chuckled.

"Why? You're not trying to back out, are you?"

Chen Li was puzzled.

She leaned close to her ear and whispered something.

Oh.

It's swollen.

Chen Li smiled with satisfaction and nodded, saying:

"Okay, I'll take you back."

Chen Li could only help the unsteady Miss Mu into the sports car and personally take her back to her residence to rest.

She lived in a villa in the Mu Family Garden. The internal roads were safe from drunk driving checks. Walking through the tree-lined paths for less than a minute, she arrived at a white villa.

Chen Li placed her on the large bed. The young lady, intoxicated by wine and women, was exceptionally charming. She casually hooked her arm around his neck and they both leaned to one side.

The alluring red lips were so close, and the scent of orchids mixed with the smell of wine wafted over his face, instantly making Chen Li dizzy.

There were no extra words, only a passionate kiss.

He hadn't forgotten the important matter. Holding her wrists, he placed his fingers on her pulse and quickly grasped the state of her body.

The bad news is that she is not a pure Yin constitution.

Good news! Her constitution is indeed extraordinary. There is yin energy in her aura. Although it is not pure, with the help of her cold yin energy and the dual cultivation of yin and yang, and with the assistance of medicinal herbs, she can stabilize and even reduce her injuries.

Chen Li couldn't contain his joy; indeed, a beautiful woman had been sent by heaven.
