Aiden Ye went straight to Jiangdu's most famous traditional Chinese medicine shop, Vitality Traditional Medicine Center. If he couldn't find the herbs he needed there, it would be tough to find them anywhere else. The large medical center was packed with countless patients getting treated. Dozens of medicine pots were brewing. Wafts of medicinal fragrance filled the air. Hundreds of silk banners from grateful patients adorned the walls. It was no wonder this was the busiest traditional medical center in Jiangdu. Even getting medicine required waiting in line. Aiden Ye wasn't in a hurry, patiently queuing up. After a good half an hour, it was finally his turn. He handed over the prescription he had written up. But the man didn't even glance at it and said, "If you want medicine from here, you have to use our prescriptions. What if there are problems with yours? Who's responsible then?" "If there's a problem, I'll take responsibility. And the disease I'm treating, you can't prescribe for," Aiden Ye said calmly. "If you insist on that, then I can't give you the medicine," Logan Du, the chief doctor at Vitality Traditional Medicine Center, said with a huff. "Young man, do you know who this is? This is Logan Du, the miracle healer of Vitality Traditional Medicine Center. There's no disease in this world he can't cure!" someone who seemed to be his apprentice said proudly. Aiden Ye found it funny, thinking that such a claim would be more fitting if he said it. This Mr. Du might have the best medical skills in the medical center, but compared to Aiden Ye, he was leagues behind. Just as Aiden Ye was about to speak up, he was pushed aside. "Are you seeing the doctor or not? If not, move aside!" A young woman, supporting an elderly man, took Aiden Ye's place without asking. Logan Du turned his attention to the new patient, taking the old man's pulse. Soon after, Logan Du's brows furrowed, and his expression grew serious. When patients see a doctor frown, they know the problem is serious. Especially when it's Logan Du, known as the miracle healer of Vitality Traditional Medicine Center. The old man seemed resigned and said, "Just tell it to me straight, doctor. Even the experts in the United States couldn't do anything for my condition." Logan Du sighed and shook his head, "I can't cure this. I can only prescribe some medicine to help strengthen your body, maybe extend your life a bit." "How long do I have?" "No more than a month," Logan Du said after a pause. Hearing this, tears immediately welled up in the young woman's eyes. She had been prepared, but the loss of hope still hurt. "Yori, don't cry. At least I know how much time I have left. Let's go home," the old man said affectionately, patting the girl's hair. Seeing this, Aiden Ye couldn't help but speak up, "Didn't you just say you could cure anything? How come you can't cure a minor illness?" "Kid, do you even know what he's got? I dare say there's nobody in the whole of China who can cure it!" Logan Du frowned. "I'm sorry for cutting in front of you just now. I was in a hurry to get treatment for my grandfather..." the young woman apologized to Aiden Ye with a bow, then started to leave with the old man. "Wait a second. I can treat your condition." However, just as they were about to leave, a voice rang out. It was Aiden Ye speaking! Initially, the girl's face lit up with hope when she heard someone could treat her grandfather. But when she saw it was Aiden Ye, her hope deflated like a punctured ball. After all, in the world of medicine, whether traditional Chinese or Western, age and seniority often dictate respect. The older, the more esteemed. Aiden Ye was just a young man in his early twenties. Could he really cure a disease that even the American experts and the miracle healer Logan Du couldn't handle? Especially since he hadn't even taken the grandfather's pulse; he probably didn't even know what the illness was. "Kid, if you can cure his disease, I'll give you this Vitality Traditional Medicine Center," Logan Du said with a sneer. "No need for that. Just prepare the herbs I need," Aiden Ye replied casually. He then pulled out the Nine Turns Golden Needles given to him by his master from his treasure bag. Although the old man's condition was quite serious, Aiden Ye's medical skills had surpassed his master's, being significantly more advanced. He had once cured Sister Ursa's infertility with just a few pine needles. And now, he was using the Nine Turns Golden Needles! These needles, acquired by the Emperor of Killers from an ancient site, seemed to be made of gold but were actually an unknown material with incredible power. Curing the old man was not going to be a problem. "Sir, don't let him mess around. Treating diseases is not a joke!" "Yeah, talking is easy, but you can't just treat diseases recklessly. Do you even know what he's got, daring to offer treatment?" "Pulmonary fibrosis is the disease. If you can cure that, you might as well cure cancer!" Logan Du added. Pulmonary fibrosis is an irreversible process, and neither modern medicine nor traditional Chinese medicine has a cure for it; it's considered a terminal condition. If Aiden Ye could cure the old man, it would be like curing a patient who had ingested paraquat. The words of everyone around finally swayed the young girl. She didn't want her grandfather to suffer anymore, so she bowed to Aiden Ye and said, "Sir, thank you for your kindness, but we don't need it." Seeing she wasn't interested in his help, Aiden Ye just shrugged. "Yori, why don't you let him try? I don't have much time left anyway. Maybe this young fellow can really cure me," the old man suddenly said. Aiden Ye nodded but didn't start treating him immediately. Instead, he looked at the girl and asked, "Are you a virgin?" Everyone was taken aback by his sudden question, especially the girl, whose face turned bright red. "Does that have something to do with treating my grandfather?" she asked through clenched teeth. "It's very important. If you are, then I can treat him. If you're not, then I can't," Aiden Ye explained. "I am," the girl hesitated for a moment before shyly nodding. "Good, come here," Aiden Ye called the girl over. "What are you going to do?" The girl felt uncomfortable as Aiden Ye examined her. She thought to herself, he wouldn't be trying to take advantage of the situation, would he? Of course, Aiden Ye wasn't trying to take advantage of the girl. He was seriously observing because it's not like someone can just say they're a virgin and that's that. He had to be absolutely sure; otherwise, not only would he fail to cure the disease, but he might make things worse. After a moment, Aiden Ye nodded in satisfaction. His master had taught him how to recognize a woman's purity through her temperament, shape, movements, and even voice. There are subtle differences between a virgin and a woman who has had sexual experience. Holding a hollow Nine Turns Golden Needle, Aiden Ye said, "Your grandfather's pulmonary fibrosis can't be reversed with ordinary medical techniques. But with the Nine Turns Golden Needles and your congenital uterus blood, there's a chance of cure." A woman's uterus is the cradle of life, full of vital energy. The girl was about to ask what congenital uterus blood was. But Aiden Ye had already plunged the Nine Turns Golden Needle into...
