Ye Tian was practicing in the courtyard at the moment. She glanced at the window and said, "I'll ask."
Upon hearing that Liu Wuque was coming, Ye Tian said, "Tell him to come tomorrow."
Han Ningshuang relayed the message truthfully. Liu Wuque was helpless and had to return home to rest first.
The next morning, Liu Wuque arrived. He specifically used fragrant spices, tidied his hair, and bathed and changed his clothes to show his respect for Ye Tian.
"Divine Doctor Ye," he bowed deeply. "You have saved my life. Please accept my bow!"
Ye Tian accepted it calmly and asked, "Do you still hate me now?"
"No, and I wouldn't dare," Liu Wuque said frankly.
Ye Tian remarked, "Fortune tellers generally don't have good endings. They either fall ill, become poor, or end up alone. You have contracted cancer now, which means your fortune-telling is accurate."
Liu Wuque gave a wry smile. Indeed, his fortune-telling was accurate, but precisely because he revealed heavenly secrets, he was facing this tribulation.
"Divine Doctor Ye, actually, I asked Old Immortal Han to tell my fortune ten years ago. He warned me of a disaster this year, and I had been guarding against it. But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't prevent it."
Ye Tian stated, "If you want to become a National Preceptor, you definitely can't do it without a good body."
Liu Wuque sighed, "Yes, but fate is hard to defy. How long I can live is all up to destiny."
Ye Tian replied, "I am a doctor, and I have no other skills. I can still help people heal."
Liu Wuque's eyes lit up. "Divine Doctor Ye, can you cure my cancer?"
Ye Tian said, "I can cure it. A few doses of medicine will be enough. But even if I can cure your illness today, you will have other ailments tomorrow."
Liu Wuque asked, "What does Divine Doctor Ye mean?"
Ye Tian explained, "A while ago, I treated Master Yang Er. While I was at it, I refined a pill for Master Yang's grandfather. It can cure all diseases. If you are interested, I can consider selling you some."
Liu Wuque was overjoyed. "May I ask what kind of pill it is?"
Ye Tian elaborated, "I have refined some Pei Yuan Pills, which can extend lifespan and boost immunity. After taking this pill, it will be difficult for you to fall ill. This pill can help you achieve great success."
Liu Wuque's eyes sparkled. His greatest concern right now was his health, as it was a prerequisite for him to become the National Preceptor.
"Divine Doctor Ye, are you willing to sell me this kind of pill?"
Ye Tian stated, "One pill per month, five million per pill."
Liu Wuque was not short of money. He owned hundreds of properties in the capital alone. Five million a month, sixty million a year, was equivalent to selling a few houses. With hundreds of houses, he had enough to live for a hundred years. Moreover, he held a large number of company shares, with a net worth of tens of billions.
"Five million is not expensive!" he quickly said.
Ye Tian took out a bottle and said, "There are three pills in here. Try them for three months first to see the effect."
Liu Wuque eagerly took the porcelain bottle with both hands and said, "Divine Doctor Ye, I'll write you a check immediately."
Three pills amounted to fifteen million, but Liu Wuque wrote a check for twenty million. The extra five million was considered Ye Tian's consultation fee.
Ye Tian accepted it without politeness and asked, "Old Liu, is your position as National Preceptor secured?"
Liu Wuque chuckled, "Divine Doctor Ye, this matter has been settled."
Ye Tian nodded. "Those important officials also fall ill from time to time. If there's a need, you can find me."
Liu Wuque was overjoyed and bowed deeply to Ye Tian. "Thank you, Divine Doctor Ye!"
Ye Tian waved his hand. "No need for thanks. I am treating you now."
He first performed acupuncture on Liu Wuque and then prescribed a few doses of medicine, stating that his illness would be cured in about two weeks.
After Liu Wuque left, Han Ningshuang smiled and said, "Brother Ye, your medical skills are truly miraculous. Even a capable person like Liu Wuque admires you immensely."
Ye Tian replied, "This Liu Wuque is a promising individual. I am supporting him."
Han Ningshuang's heart stirred. "Brother Ye, you mean he will be useful in the future?"
Ye Tian affirmed, "Of course. He is someone close to the important officials, so it will be convenient for communication."
Han Ningshuang exclaimed, "Brother Ye's foresight is remarkable. I never thought of these things."
Ye Tian had made a plan in his mind while helping her deal with Liu Wuque. Whether it was soaking in ice water or drinking vinegar, it was all preparation for today's meeting, which made Han Ningshuang admire him even more.
Ye Tian said, "Ningshuang, your position is stable now, and I have nothing more to worry about. I am leaving the capital today."
