Chapter 342: The Art of Human Medicine
Xu Zhenfeng didn't take Qiu Tianhen's words seriously. He held his hands and continued, looking into Qiu Tianhen's eyes, and said in a deep voice:
“Qiu Tianhen, originally surnamed Gong, named Gong Tiansheng, is a descendant of a branch of the Gong family, a family of ghost doctors in Jinguan City.
Twenty-one years ago, several fights broke out between the human race and the underworld, and the relationship became so bad. Some human cultivators who did not know the truth united and strangled the entire family of Ghost Doctor Gong.
Gong Tiansheng escaped the massacre by chance because he accompanied his mother and sister to visit his uncle's family.
None of his father, grandfather, three younger brothers, and paternal relatives were spared.
After that, Gong Tiansheng changed his name to Qiu Tianhen, took his mother and his sister who was only two or three years old at the time, and moved to Fengdu City to live in seclusion, making a living by delivering funerals to the people in the city.
After saying this, Xu Zhenfeng ignored Qiu Tianhen's increasingly grim face.
He continued, "The ghost doctor skills of the Gong family are the best in the Great Shu Kingdom. Brother Gong, you have solved many ghost problems in Fengdu City. I am afraid that you have also used the inherited skills of your Gong family, right?"
Qiu Tianhen stared at Xu Zhenfeng for a long time. Then he turned around and instructed his terrified sister behind him.
"Go and look after your mother. Keep her calm and don't let her know what happened in the front yard."
His sister looked at him with some concern, but had to nod in the face of his stern gaze, and walked through the main hall to the backyard with great hesitation.
"Who are you? You can explain my origins so clearly. It seems that you must have asked someone for information."
Xu Zhenfeng said earnestly, "I've said it before, I came all the way from Jinguan City just to ask Brother Qiu to save a ghost."
He took two steps forward, and under Qiu Tianhen's defensive gaze, he whispered to him, "I really have no ill intentions, I just want to save people, no, to save ghosts.
As long as Brother Qiu can cure that ghost, I am willing to pay 3,000 middle-grade soul crystals."
"3,000 mid-grade soul crystals?"
Qiu Tianhen's face changed. Three thousand middle-grade soul crystals? This is not a small amount. For an ordinary person, this is already a huge fortune.
"Yes, as long as Brother Qiu can cure that evil creature, I will give you three thousand soul crystals. I will never break my promise."
Xu Zhenfeng patted his chest and made the promise.
As long as Chu Da Yinsi can restore his ghost body, three thousand medium-grade soul crystals are nothing to him, the head of the eight underworlds.
He was just being generous on behalf of Chu Tongxuan.
Qiu Tianhen's eyes flickered continuously, and after a while, he said, "If I'm not mistaken, the injured ghost you asked me to treat should be a great ghost with a prominent position in the underworld, right?"
Xu Zhenfeng looked at him and nodded slightly, "That's right."
Qiu Tianhen laughed coldly, "When my Gong family was exterminated, the underworld did not lend a helping hand.
It was in vain that our Gong family cured countless wounded ghosts, big and small, in the underworld, but ended up being isolated and helpless like this.
Now you want me, the Gong family, to treat the ghosts in their underworld? Sorry, I have long forgotten my family heritage and I don’t know how to treat ghosts or people.
Please find someone else to help. My mother is critically ill. Please don't disturb her and leave as soon as possible."
Xu Zhenfeng heard him say twice that his mother was ill, and he quickly said, "Brother Qiu has the skills of a ghost doctor, but I have the skills of a human doctor.
If your mother is seriously ill, you may ask me to treat her. As long as she is still alive, I can make her recover."
Qiu Tianhen looked at Xu Zhenfeng with some surprise, "Are you kidding me, Qiu? This concerns the safety of Qiu's biological mother, so please respect yourself."
"This is no joke. If I cannot cure your mother's illness, I will pay for it with my own life."
Xu Zhenfeng looked sure and spoke decisively.
Qiu Tianhen glanced at Lang Ning and Huang Jingwawa thoughtfully.
He really had no other choice. His mother had been ill since she came to Fengdu City and had been bedridden for the past few years.
If he had not been able to earn some money and buy life-extending elixirs from the alchemy sect at a high price, his mother would have died long ago.
However, no matter how good the life-extending elixir is, there are always injuries and diseases that cannot be cured.
Two days ago, he paid a huge price and invited a medical saint to take his mother's pulse.
After taking his pulse, the saint didn't even prescribe any medicine. He just said that he would die in a few days and asked him to prepare for his funeral.
At this moment, hearing Xu Zhenfeng patting his chest and making the promise, a glimmer of hope arose in his already desperate heart.
"My mother is old and has been suffering from illness for many years. Mr. Xu, don't even think about curing her illness completely. If you can just relieve her pain and extend her life for a few more years, I will accept your favor."
