"It's seven o'clock now, and there's still an hour before the auction begins. How about I have a look at this young lady's father!"
Lu Yang thought for a moment and said directly.
"What are you looking at? We're looking for Physician Meng, what does it have to do with you?"
The middle-aged woman immediately shouted loudly when she saw Lu Yang volunteering to treat her husband.
"I also know how to treat illnesses!"
Lu Yang said faintly.
"You? Based on what? How old are you? Knowing a bit of martial arts makes you think you're invincible, and you know how to treat illnesses? You should just go wherever it's cool!"
"Physician Meng, please take a look at my old man. He's been bedridden for over half a year, and he hasn't benefited from taking a lot of medicine!"
The middle-aged woman said, turning her gaze to Meng Hongda and pleadingly.
"With your attitude, what qualifications do you have to ask me to act?"
"Mr. Lu is someone even I have to treat with respect. His skills are above mine. He wants to treat your family member, and you say such things? It's utterly preposterous!"
"People like you are simply not worth our effort!"
"Mr. Lu, let's go to the auction!"
Meng Hongda looked at Lu Yang and continued to say.
"Mm!"
Lu Yang also nodded. For people who looked down on him, he saw no need to greet them warmly.
"Little brother, I'm sorry, I apologize on behalf of my mother. Please don't take it to heart with my mother, and please save my dad!"
Before Lu Yang could take a step, the girl blocked his path, crying and begging.
Seeing the girl's tear-streaked face, Lu Yang's heart was finally stirred with compassion.
"Alas, alright!"
"Where is your father now? Let's go see him first!"
Lu Yang shook his head and agreed directly.
"Thank you, little brother!"
"My dad is in the room behind. Follow me!"
Hearing Lu Yang's words, the little girl immediately stopped crying and said excitedly. Then, she led Lu Yang into a dark room on the second floor of the small noodle shop.
The small noodle shop had a total of two floors. The first floor was the shopfront, and the second floor had two rooms for the owners. The girl and her mother shared one room, and her father was in the other.
A man, as thin as a rake, lay on a single bed. He was so emaciated that there was no flesh left on his body, only skin and bones. It was evident that he had been tormented by illness for too long.
"Xiao Qin, who are these people?"
The man raised his eyelids and asked weakly as he saw his daughter bringing people in.
"Dad, these two are physicians, specifically here to treat you!"
The girl said to her father.
"Alas, I know my own illness. Don't spend any more money on me!"
The man sighed and said. Over the past half year, all the family's money had been spent on treating the man, and they had borrowed a lot as well, but the man's illness showed no improvement.
"Dad, you must cheer up! These two physicians have excellent medical skills, and they can definitely cure you!"
The girl continued.
"Sir, if I'm not mistaken, you must have been injured, and the wound was poisoned. The toxin has already invaded your internal organs. To have lasted this long is already a miracle!"
Lu Yang smiled slightly and spoke directly.
"You... How do you know?"
The man's pale face instantly startled when he heard Lu Yang's words, and he stared fixedly at Lu Yang.
"Don't be agitated. I just saw it from your complexion!"
Lu Yang continued to say with a smile.
"Little brother, can my dad be saved?"
The girl looked at Lu Yang and asked cautiously.
"He can be saved, but the process is rather long. It will take at most a week, and at least half a month, and your father will definitely recover!"
Lu Yang thought for a moment and said directly.
"Thank you, little brother. Please help, save my dad. I'll do anything as long as you can save my dad!"
The girl bit her lip as she said these words, showing that for her father, she was willing to give up everything.
"Saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda. I'm just helping out on the way, you don't need to give up everything!"
"I'll first use acupuncture on your father to expel some of the toxins from his body. His body will feel much more comfortable. As for the remaining toxins, I'll come again for acupuncture next time!"
Lu Yang said, then took out his silver needles and began to work.
This was the second time Lu Yang was performing the treatment, and his movements were much more skilled. The speed of needling was also very fast. This time, the acupuncture technique Lu Yang used once again stunned Meng Hongda, because the needle technique Lu Yang used was also a long-lost art, called the "Tail Flicking Needle Technique." This technique was most effective for detoxification. In half an hour, half a basin of black blood flowed out of the man's body, and the man's complexion improved significantly.
"That's about it!"
Lu Yang said, then collected all the silver needles.
"Young sir, you truly are a divine physician. I had already lost hope in life, but after being treated by you this time, I clearly felt that long-lost warmth. Thank you, young sir!"
"Since you saved my life, I won't be pretentious. After I recover, I will definitely serve you diligently and go through fire and water for you!"
The man said to Lu Yang excitedly.
"Judging by your physique, you're a soldier, aren't you?"
Lu Yang smiled slightly and continued to ask.
"My grandfather was a soldier, but he retired and lived incognito long ago. I learned a lifetime of military martial arts from my grandfather!"
The man continued.
"Lived incognito?"
"Could it be the Black Dragon Army?"
Hearing this, Lu Yang pondered in his heart, but he did not voice it. Instead, he wrote a prescription on a piece of paper and handed it to the girl.
"Go get the medicine according to this prescription. Every night, have your father soak in the medicinal bath. Do this for a week. After a week, I will come again to detoxify your father!"
Lu Yang said faintly.
"Thank you, little brother, thank you, little brother!"
Seeing her father's complexion improve greatly, the girl repeatedly thanked him excitedly.
"You're welcome. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave!"
Lu Yang said, and then left the small room with Meng Hongda.
...
At the Guoxing Hotel, various luxury cars were already parked outside, and countless wealthy individuals had come from afar, wanting to bid for their desired items at tonight's auction.
Lu Yang and Meng Hongda calmly walked into the auction venue.
"Mr. Lu, this auction in Jiangbei City will feature over twenty types of precious medicinal materials, some of which are even rare medicinal materials centuries old. If you have any favorites, Mr. Lu, please feel free to speak up, and I will definitely help Mr. Lu acquire them!"
Meng Hongda said to Lu Yang with a smile.
After Lu Yang's two treatments, Meng Hongda was already certain that Lu Yang's skills were absolutely extraordinary. The two lost arts he had displayed consecutively were each capable of shocking the entire Chinese medical community.
Meng Hongda had also made up his mind to become Lu Yang's disciple.
"Physician Meng, you don't need to be so polite. I can bid for them myself!"
Lu Yang smiled slightly.
