"What are you doing?"
Seeing Du Fei walk over to the little girl without even glancing at him, the physician immediately became furious.
Du Fei, who had just crouched down, glanced at him. "I'm saving a life now. Whether you believe it or not, keep quiet. Otherwise, don't blame me if I get rough if you delay me!"
By the end of his sentence, Du Fei's tone had become stern.
The physician felt a bit scared after being looked at by Du Fei.
Then, Du Fei turned his head away from him.
Taking out the golden needles he carried, Du Fei first took out a few and inserted them near the little girl's heart and other vital organs. This was to prevent toxins from entering these organs through the bloodstream.
Next, he used two golden needles to prick the index finger of the little girl's left hand.
With both hands forming a sword-like shape, Du Fei moved slowly down from the little girl's shoulder. As his fingers moved, blood began to drip from the little girl's index finger.
Whoosh!
The crowd gasped in astonishment.
The reason for their surprise was that the blood dripping from the little girl was black.
After dripping for a good five or six minutes, the blood finally began to turn red.
"Mom."
The little girl, who had been drowsy and unable to open her eyes, now seemed energetic and called out for her mother as soon as she opened them.
Seeing her daughter awake, the middle-aged woman instinctively reached out to hug her.
Fortunately, Du Fei stopped her in time.
Afterward, Du Fei used golden needles to prick the index finger of the little girl's right hand, repeating the process.
When the blood dripping from her right index finger also turned red, Du Fei slowly nodded.
After removing all the golden needles protecting her organs, he said to the middle-aged woman, "She's fine now. Have her rest well for two days when you get back and feed her plenty of blood-replenishing foods."
"Thank you, thank you," the middle-aged woman said repeatedly, then turned to the little girl. "Baby, quickly thank Uncle for saving your life."
"Uncle, you're so amazing. If it weren't for you, I might never have seen my mom again."
The little girl showed a naive smile on her face.
Du Fei patted her head and said it was nothing.
Rustle.
Seeing this, the surrounding crowd, with a tacit understanding, began to applaud.
Witnessing Du Fei's entire treatment process for the little girl, the physician from Siping Pharmacy, who had previously claimed the girl had only mild heatstroke, lowered his head, realizing he had almost made a grave mistake.
"As expected, young and promising. Truly worthy of Brother Wang's high praise."
Just then, someone walked over.
Du Fei looked up and saw a well-maintained, refined-looking middle-aged man approaching.
"Boss."
The physician beside Du Fei greeted him.
Could this person be...?
Du Fei had a guess.
Indeed, the next moment, the middle-aged man extended his hand to Du Fei. "You're Du Fei, right? I'm Qi Lianshan from Siping Pharmacy. Your technique of protective heart needling just now left me in awe."
"Hello, Boss Qi."
Du Fei's guess was correct. This person before him was Qi Lianshan, the boss of Siping Pharmacy, and the person Wang Qiyang had recommended to Du Fei.
The protective heart needling Qi Lianshan mentioned was the technique Du Fei had used with the golden needles inserted near the little girl's vital organs.
Perhaps to the onlookers, Du Fei had merely taken out some golden needles and randomly inserted them near the little girl's heart and other organs.
However, as the saying goes, the layman watches the fun, while the expert sees the skill.
To someone knowledgeable like Qi Lianshan, Du Fei's needling technique was extraordinary.
To protect the heart's vital channels without affecting their normal operation, the depth and position of these needles were meticulously precise; they were absolutely not randomly inserted.
Any misplaced needle would affect the subsequent treatment.
"Brother Du, come, let's go inside and chat."
It was too crowded outside. After shaking Du Fei's hand, Qi Lianshan led him towards the back hall of the pharmacy.
Siping Pharmacy was located in the western suburbs of the capital, occupying a vast area. The front hall alone was two to three thousand square meters. Qi Lianshan led Du Fei to the back hall and walked for quite some time before arriving at an elegantly decorated room.
This room was clearly Qi Lianshan's private chamber or a dedicated guest reception room, with meticulous attention paid to its decoration.
Inviting Du Fei to sit beside him, Qi Lianshan picked up the tea set on the table.
After a series of tea ceremony movements that were impressive to watch, Qi Lianshan picked up the teapot and poured a full cup of tea in front of Du Fei.
Smelling the rich aroma, Du Fei said thank you.
"Come, try my tea first."
Extending his right hand in a welcoming gesture, Qi Lianshan then watched Du Fei intently.
Only after Du Fei finished drinking and showed an expression of satisfaction did Qi Lianshan look away, a smile appearing on his face.
"Brother Du, Brother Wang mentioned before that you intended to purchase some special medicinal ingredients, is that right?"
Qi Lianshan poured himself a cup and took a gentle sip.
"Yes, I'm here to purchase some special medicinal ingredients from you, Boss Qi. I hope you can help."
Du Fei nodded.
This time, to refine the pills with Seven Star Lotus as the main ingredient, the auxiliary herbs required were also very rare. Du Fei had searched all over Rong City but only managed to acquire two types, and even then, the quantities were insufficient.
Coincidentally, while sending Du Yunyun to school, Du Fei decided to come to the capital.
After all, this was the capital of China, naturally incomparable to Rong City.
Then, Du Fei listed the medicinal ingredients he needed.
Initially, when Du Fei mentioned the first few ingredients, Qi Lianshan's expression remained unchanged.
However, as Du Fei continued to list the names, Qi Lianshan revealed a wry smile.
"Brother Du, you truly are... The medicinal ingredients you mentioned, the first few are manageable. Although the quantities are not large, my Siping Pharmacy has a considerable stock. But the last three are a bit difficult."
A bit difficult?
Du Fei noted Qi Lianshan's choice of words. He said "difficult," not "impossible."
"Boss Qi, I know these medicinal ingredients are hard to find. How about this, as long as the price isn't too outrageous, please name your price."
To refine the pills, Du Fei was prepared for a significant expenditure before coming to the capital.
Qi Lianshan chuckled. "Brother Du, by rights, since you were introduced by Brother Wang, I really want to help you. However, you should also know that sometimes, precious medicinal ingredients cannot be bought with money. I hope you understand, I have my own difficulties."
Du Fei listened and nodded.
What Qi Lianshan said was true. Perhaps to ordinary people, they were just medicinal ingredients, no matter how rare, as long as they paid enough.
But only insiders like Du Fei and Qi Lianshan knew that these rare medicinal ingredients, if used properly, could even have the miraculous effect of bringing people back from the dead.
In such circumstances, no amount of money could acquire them.
