The man coughed with great effort, but no sound came out.
He found it extremely strange. Usually, when he faked a cough, he could at least make a sound. How was it that today, there was absolutely nothing?
"Hey, hey, hey, it's just that..."
He tested his throat; there were no problems. It was just that the "cough, cough, cough" sound wouldn't come out.
The people around him watched him, not understanding what was wrong. He stretched his neck, but no cough was heard.
"Hey, it's gone! There's no cough sound at all!"
"Impossible, impossible. I can't cough at all, it must be something wrong with this place."
The man asked in disbelief.
Liu Sandao remained silent. He had thoroughly examined the man's body and found no issues.
For reasons unknown, the man had been faking a cough all along.
If his problem wasn't resolved, further progress would be difficult.
There was no choice but to use a little magic on him.
"Alright, alright, there's nothing wrong. Please give up your seat, we're in a hurry to see the doctor!"
The people behind him urged, quickly placing the child opposite Liu Sandao.
Liu Sandao didn't refuse. He directly placed his hand on the child's wrist and began to examine the illness.
The man stood for a moment. He really couldn't find any more excuses, so he walked out with his hands behind his back.
Fu Ruhai's job was logistics.
Meanwhile, Bai Sixiang was pretending to examine patients, and Liu Sandao was writing prescriptions while he himself was responsible for dispensing the medicine.
In reality, Liu Sandao had only written a few symbols. The three of them had long ago decided on the amount of medicine each symbol represented.
Based on the number of people from the previous day, they had already planned how much to pre-package.
Since most people were not affected by the wedges, only a tiny bit of actual ingredient, plus some flour, was sufficient.
They were all white powders, largely indistinguishable.
For those who had wedges, the effect of this medicine was much weaker.
If they weren't trying to avoid Zhao Qiansun and Zhang Kuixian, they could have gone to Sandong City to find more wedges. Just a few more sips, and the production of the "Jieyou Powder" would immediately increase. Sudancheng Novel Network.
Because for the past two days, Liu Sandao and Fu Ruhai's fingers would swell up painfully if they didn't handle the Jieyou Powder.
To avoid suspicion, they could only have Bai Sixiang sit at the front desk, allowing them to collect the Jieyou Powder.
Upon seeing the man leave, Fu Ruhai had a question: "He came here to cause trouble for no reason. He definitely won't give up. I must see what he's planning!"
After exchanging a secret message with Liu Sandao, he turned and left the room.
The man walked about four to five hundred meters and then entered an alley.
Fu Ruhai couldn't get too close, fearing he would be discovered. Fortunately, he was an immortal, with far-reaching eyesight. If necessary, he could rely on his magic.
Entering the alley, the man looked around, glancing back occasionally, as if searching for someone or avoiding someone.
"You're here. How is it?"
A cold voice said.
"I... I... that doctor is too bad..."
"Damn it, you're an idiot! You can't even handle something this simple? I told you, just cause trouble for him!"
"So many people were watching. Besides, given the current situation, causing trouble means going to jail!"
The man retorted.
"What are you afraid of? With me here, I guarantee you'll be fine!"
"Hmph! Easy for you to say. If I go to jail, you'll just walk away. What can I do to you?"
The man asked indignantly.
"Hmph! Do you still want to make money? If not, fine, I'll find someone else. Where else will you find such a good thing? Just a little while, and ten thousand yuan in your hand!"
Hearing this, the man's heart struggled again.
If he did it, it wasn't something honorable. If he didn't, ten thousand yuan was equivalent to two months' salary.
Fu Ruhai watched them talking. The other person speaking was strangely dressed.
His head was wrapped in a large black cloth, making him look like he wasn't from this world.
"Alright, so that's how it is. You set up a trap intentionally!"
Fu Ruhai shouted. He had exposed their scheme, preventing them from causing further trouble.
This seemingly reckless action would at least ensure they wouldn't encounter such incidents in the immediate future.
Upon hearing the shout, the person wrapped in the black cloth turned to look.
"Lu Fang! So it's you!"
Fu Ruhai exclaimed, looking at the face.
"Hahaha, it's me. So what!"
Lu Fang provocatively replied.
Upon hearing Fu Ruhai's words, the man who had been seeking medical treatment scrambled away.
He couldn't continue making money anyway, as he had been exposed.
With him gone, Fu Ruhai and Lu Fang no longer needed to hide.
They began to fight directly!
The "Fude Manual" was gone, so Fu Ruhai no longer needed to recite incantations.
He simply raised his hand casually, and a surge of true qi churned within his blood vessels.
As he was contemplating, Lu Fang attacked.
Lu Fang had also been cultivating during this time and felt he had improved significantly. This was a good opportunity for him to test his skills against Fu Ruhai.
His left hand formed an eagle's claw and lunged towards Fu Ruhai's throat.
Before Lu Fang could get close, Fu Ruhai's first instinct was to dodge. As he dodged, he channeled a surge of true qi and sent it out.
This strike was not intentional; it was merely to evade Lu Fang's attack. However, to his surprise, it felt as if his meridians had all been opened, and an endless stream of energy was being emitted from his dantian.
Fu Ruhai felt the baptism of this energy, as if he had entered a wondrous world, filled with vibrant colors and yet a sense of void.
A wave of joy washed over him, an indescribable sense of pleasure welling up from within.
Immersed in such an environment, the understanding of the Great Dao came in an instant.
The Great Dao is simple, both illusory and real.
Human sentimentality, felt from the heart.
Lu Fang's attack missed, and he turned to attack again.
This time, Fu Ruhai did not dodge. Instead, he stood his ground. A faint smile played on his lips. Lu Fang, who had intended a killing blow with his palm, found this situation rather peculiar.
However, in his moment of hesitation, the heavens and earth suddenly changed color. The ground seemed to flatten like a net, rushing towards him from a distance.
"Not good!"
Lu Fang cried out, quickly retracting his hand and flying diagonally upwards.
"Whoosh!"
With a long howl, the net brushed past Lu Fang.
"My god! What is this thing! Fu Ruhai, damn it, what are you doing! If you have the guts, fight me one-on-one properly! Stop playing these trickster games, are you even a man!"
Lu Fang cursed as he spoke.
He shuddered thinking about how close he had been. Had he been a second slower, he would have been engulfed by that thing.
Fu Ruhai was in a state of meditation. Without opening his eyes, he could perceive everything.
For the first time, he felt "The Dao" so intimately close!
