The statement caused everyone in the venue to look at the leader of the Soul Gang with astonishment.
Jiangnan Province had four major gangs: the Martial Alliance, the Soul Gang, the Green Robe Sect, and the Speeding Party. Among them, the leaders of the Green Robe Sect and the Speeding Party were relatively young, between thirty and forty years old.
Master Zhao, the leader of the Martial Alliance, was in his forties. However, the leader of the Soul Gang was the oldest of the four, likely in his sixties, with a head full of white hair and not looking very energetic.
Standing beside the Soul Gang leader were two middle-aged men. Li Se immediately recognized them as doctors.
The Soul Gang leader's expression shifted slightly. Of course, he was ill, or he wouldn't have kept two doctors by his side all the time. However, he didn't believe Li Se's medical skills were that remarkable. Although he hadn't disclosed his condition to the outside world, any observant person could investigate and discover his illness.
He didn't believe Li Se could diagnose his illness just by seeing him.
"It seems you've done your homework," the Soul Gang leader said with a cold laugh. He waved his hand, and several people immediately rushed onto the stage.
These were all members of the Soul Gang, and each of them was a top expert, perhaps not inferior to Black Wolf.
Seeing this, the injured Black Wolf commented, "These are the strongest experts of the Soul Gang, but this kid's skills are quite formidable. He might not lose."
Zhao Ba's expression changed. "Elder Fu, is it necessary to make such a big fuss?"
Elder Fu shot Zhao Ba a cold glance. "Master Zhao, I don't care if this person is your friend or not, but he is too arrogant. He has offended both the Speeding Party and me. Do you think you can protect him?"
Li Se's skills were indeed strong, but he was, after all, just one person.
Zhao Ba was unsure of what to do. Although the Martial Alliance was powerful, Li Se had offended both the Speeding Party and the Soul Gang at once, making it difficult to handle. He had initially planned to win the Soul Gang leader's silver needles through a competition, but Li Se's methods were too crude.
This would only make Elder Fu believe that Li Se had investigated him.
At this moment, Brother Fei of the Speeding Party chuckled and called over a group of people, surrounding the stage. Dozens of people encircled the fighting ring.
"Clear the area, clear the area! Everyone irrelevant, get out!" Brother Fei shouted.
Many people wanted to see what would happen next, but the Speeding Party had cleared the area, so they could only leave obediently.
"This Li Se is truly arrogant. This time, even Master Zhao cannot protect him," Bai Shaotian said with a hint of schadenfreude. His only regret was that Jiang Ranran was also caught up in this.
What a pity for such a beauty.
"This Jiang Ranran is truly foolish. Why wouldn't she follow Young Master Bai properly?" Guo Fufu cursed angrily.
"We should hurry back and tell Grandma about this. Something has truly gone wrong this time," Guo Caijun said with a grim expression. It wasn't that he cared about Jiang Ranran's life or death, but rather about the Guo family's interests.
He was quite certain that if Jiang Ranran were to be defiled by the people of the Speeding Party today, Bai Shaotian would absolutely not enter into an alliance with the Guo family.
"Yes, let's hurry back," Guo Fufu nodded.
Soon, the entire underground boxing ring was left with only the members of the four major gangs, while Li Se remained surrounded on the stage.
Despite being surrounded by many people, Li Se calmly said, "Elder Fu, is it? I told you, I can cure your uremia, provided you give me the Thirteen Needles of Ghost Gate."
Upon hearing "uremia," Elder Fu's body trembled slightly. Perhaps his illness was not a secret, but the specific disease he had was something he had hidden very well. How had this kid found out?
"Elder Fu, I can guarantee that Little Li can definitely cure your uremia," Zhao Ba said with certainty. "As you know, my health has been declining over the years, but now I'm completely fine. It was Little Li who cured me."
Elder Fu looked at Zhao Ba, also somewhat surprised. He had previously felt that Zhao Ba's spirit was very good, but he hadn't expected it to be this young man who had treated him.
At this moment, he was somewhat moved.
Although he still didn't fully believe Li Se, with Zhao Ba vouching for him, he couldn't help but hesitate.
"What method do you plan to use to treat Elder Fu?" one of the doctors beside him asked.
"Traditional Chinese Medicine!" Li Se uttered the two words.
"TCM can cure uremia? This is pure nonsense, Elder Fu, you mustn't let him mess around!"
"To treat uremia, one must surgically implant another person's kidney into the uremic patient's body, allowing it to function as a kidney. If the implanted kidney has no rejection reaction, it can completely replace the original kidney's function. This is the most effective method for treating uremia and is currently the most recognized treatment."
The two doctors immediately spoke out to stop him.
Elder Fu fell silent for a moment. Frankly, he had never encountered TCM treating uremia before.
"Since this is the best treatment, why hasn't Elder Fu undergone it yet?" Li Se smiled. "Perhaps many people die from uremia because they lack kidney sources. But with Elder Fu's status, it shouldn't be difficult to obtain a healthy kidney and have it matched, right?"
The expressions of the two doctors changed.
Elder Fu looked at Li Se intently, feeling as if this fellow knew everything.
Li Se smiled and continued, "I believe it's because Elder Fu's current physical condition cannot undergo surgery, right? What's the difference between this and waiting to die?"
Pain flickered across Elder Fu's face. He stood up abruptly and said urgently, "Do you have a way?"
"I do, but I need the Thirteen Needles of Ghost Gate. This is the price for the treatment!" Li Se said confidently.
Before coming, he had been wondering what method to use to obtain the Thirteen Needles of Ghost Gate. But after seeing Elder Fu, he was almost certain that he could acquire these needles.
"Impossible!" one of the doctors immediately denied. "Although Western medicine cannot perform kidney transplants for Elder Fu, artificial dialysis can extend his lifespan. But to say that TCM can cure uremia, I absolutely do not believe it!"
TCM has declined nowadays, and it's absolutely impossible to cure uremia!
"If you can't cure it, it only shows that your medical skills are poor. Don't judge TCM with your limited understanding. TCM is profound and vast, how can you deny it?" Li Se said sternly.
The two doctors blushed with anger, extremely incensed.
Elder Fu, however, said at this moment, "Fine. If you can cure me, I will give you the Thirteen Needles of Ghost Gate, and from now on, you will be my benefactor, Elder Fu!"
"But if you fail to cure me... you will die!"
