Peerless Medical Emperor

Chapter 26: Chapter 26: Treating an Illness?

"It’s like this. The young lady of the Sun Group in Chuzhou City has been afflicted with a strange illness recently. Many famous doctors have been helpless, and even I am unable to treat her."

"Then I thought of you, Lord Medical Saint. Perhaps you have a way to cure her."

The North Sea Medicine King immediately replied to Chen Qingdi.

"I’m busy. And I’m not in the mood!"

Just as Chen Qingdi was about to hang up, the North Sea Medicine King suddenly said something.

"Lord Medical Saint, aren’t you looking for a medicinal ingredient that can suppress cold energy?"

"I heard that the Sun Family’s old master has this medicinal herb in his possession. And it’s a tree!"

Hearing this, Chen Qingdi’s interest was piqued at once.

"The tree you’re talking about... it couldn’t be a Fire Fruit Tree, could it?"

Chen Qingdi speculated.

"I’m not sure, but it looks just like the Fire Fruit Tree you mentioned, Lord Medical Saint."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qingdi immediately told the North Sea Medicine King, "Go tell the Sun Family’s old master that I’ll take care of his granddaughter’s illness!"

"But as for payment, I don’t want money or anything else. I only want that Fire Fruit Tree!"

Chen Qingdi said to the North Sea Medicine King.

"Thank you, Lord Medical Saint! I’ll report to the Sun Family’s old master right now."

"By the way, Lord Medical Saint, should I send someone to pick you up? Chuzhou is a good thousand kilometers from Sea City!"

The North Sea Medicine King asked Chen Qingdi excitedly.

"No need. I’ll just take the train. As it happens, I have an old friend in Chuzhou whom I haven’t seen in a long time."

After saying that, Chen Qingdi hung up and drove toward the station.

「Chuzhou City.」

As one of the most famous special economic zones among the southern provinces of the Dragon Country.

The transportation and commerce here were highly developed, with businesses large and small lining the commercial streets.

Right after Chen Qingdi got off the train, he was picked up by someone sent by the North Sea Medicine King and taken to a hotel.

The person who came was a new disciple of the North Sea Medicine King. He had shifty eyes and didn’t look like a good person.

After arriving at the Imperial View Hotel, Chen Qingdi gave him an order to stand guard outside the door.

He then opened his chat with Shen Mingyue and sent her the latest progress reports on the land development for Mingxiu Group and Emperor Medical Group.

Chen Qingdi glanced over it. He saw that all the necessary developments were underway, but a local holdout had appeared.

And this local holdout was being very difficult, refusing to move for anything less than twenty million.

Chen Qingdi immediately made a call to Zheng Wanqing.

"President Zheng, do you know who that local holdout is? Can you send me all the information you have on him?"

Chen Qingdi asked.

On the other end of the line, Zheng Wanqing said with some hesitation, "I can, but I’ve heard he has backing from a high-ranking official at Jinghai City Hall."

"We might not be able to win against him. After all, he’s been running roughshod over that area for a long time."

Zheng Wanqing explained to Chen Qingdi.

"President Zheng, you still know too little about me. When I, Chen Qingdi, say I’m going to deal with someone, I don’t care how powerful their background is."

"Whether they’re a dragon or a tiger, they aren’t anything until I give them a name. Otherwise, they’re just dogs and worms, utterly useless."

An extremely powerful aura erupted from Chen Qingdi, and the surrounding glass instantly shattered.

Then, Chen Qingdi spoke again, "I’ll handle it when I get back. Continue with the development project. Don’t stop."

With that, Chen Qingdi hung up.

「The next day.」

Chen Qingdi arrived outside a large, standalone villa in a luxury car.

The North Sea Medicine King’s disciple respectfully helped Chen Qingdi out of the car before driving away.

The moment Chen Qingdi stepped through the main gate, he felt a malevolent aura.

This malevolent aura permeated the entire villa property. Chen Qingdi could tell with a single glance.

The feng shui here had been tampered with.

Sure enough, Chen Qingdi discovered a bird’s nest on the eaves of the villa.

And in that nest were many sickly, dying little birds.

Seeing this, Chen Qingdi was taken aback. ’A fledgling nest curse?’

He had heard his grandfather speak of this Evil Technique.

If someone has offended you.

And you want their whole family to suffer, or better yet, be torn apart and destroyed, you use this Evil Technique.

You just need to douse sick, dying birds with blood, place a Suppressive Artifact, and it will cause the family to suffer endless bloodshed and be plagued by illness!

Only when every member of the family is dead does this Evil Technique finally lose its effect.

"Who on earth hates the Sun Family so much that they would use such an Evil Technique to harm them?"

Chen Qingdi said, feeling a sense of indignation, then walked straight in.

He knew how to break the curse, but he still wanted to understand what exactly was going on.

After walking inside, Chen Qingdi saw a young doctor treating a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man’s face was gaunt and withered, his eyes were hollow, and he looked extremely weak.

As for the young doctor, he was preparing some kind of medicine that was a golden-yellow liquid.

Chen Qingdi walked closer for a look, and his face immediately darkened.

SMACK!

Chen Qingdi slapped the bowl out of the young doctor’s hand and began to curse him out.

"Idiot! Who told you to use the golden juice injection method on a patient!"

"Don’t you know that this method is not only useless, but it will also cause the patient’s internal organs to become infected!"

Seeing Chen Qingdi’s ferocious demeanor, the young doctor was frightened and quickly backed up several steps.

When the young doctor recovered, he cursed directly at Chen Qingdi, "Who the hell do you think you are, daring to interrupt my treatment?"

"Do you have any idea who I am? I am a disciple of the King of Western Medicine, Lin Zhongyun! How dare you interfere with my work!"

"Security! Where’s security? Get him out of here!"

The young doctor shouted excitedly for security, wanting to throw Chen Qingdi out.

But at that moment, the middle-aged man waved his hand, dismissing the security guards.

Then, he suddenly spoke. "You must be Medical Saint Chen, correct?"

"The young Medical Saint who the North Sea Medicine King said was his superior. The name fits the person—you truly are as young as they say."

The middle-aged man sized up Chen Qingdi, noting his magnificent bearing and extraordinary aura. He was clearly no ordinary man.

Therefore, the middle-aged man’s attitude toward Chen Qingdi became even more respectful.

"That’s right. I’m the one who has come to treat the Sun Family’s old master."

"Even if the Sun Family has had many sick people recently, you shouldn’t have been desperate enough to let this quack use the golden juice injection, right?"

"If anything went slightly wrong, you could die from infection. Truly foolish."

After answering the middle-aged man’s question, Chen Qingdi added a critical comment.

Hearing this, the middle-aged man lowered his head in embarrassment.

"Well, we were out of options. But now that Medical Saint Chen is here, the Sun Family is saved."

The middle-aged man said with great excitement.

And he was none other than the current Patriarch of the Sun Family, Sun Zuwang!
