Peerless Medical Emperor

Chapter 52: Chapter 52: The Five Great Saints

At these words, the auras of the five Martial Arts Saints filled the air. Their expressions were varied but all extremely grave. As they looked at Chen Qingdi, their faces were etched with killing intent.

Before Chen Qingdi, the five Martial Arts Saints began to display their astonishing power.

They were agile and nimble, weaving across the battlefield. Every movement they made was brimming with the ultimate power of the Martial Dao.

They attacked Chen Qingdi with a flurry of swift fists and feet, forming an impenetrable offense.

However, at that very moment...

Chen Qingdi displayed a power that was truly shocking.

He used a unique Body Technique to evade his enemies’ attacks before countering with sharp fists and kicks.

His eyes showed no fear; instead, they held a flicker of fighting spirit.

Each of his attacks was precise and powerful, and he quickly inflicted heavy injuries upon all five Martial Arts Saints.

After a fierce battle, Chen Qingdi had successfully dealt with the five Martial Arts Saints.

Only one remained, kneeling on the ground with a pale face, his entire body trembling.

"Please, I’m begging you, spare us! We were just following orders. We really didn’t want to make an enemy of you!"

Chen Qingdi, however, merely stared at him and declared proudly, "Go tell that old bastard Lin Zhen that the Five Emperors Medical Scripture is not something he can lay his hands on!"

"If he still wants the Five Emperors Medical Scripture, he can come and get it himself!"

After he finished speaking, the Martial Arts Saint acknowledged the command and rose. His body slightly stooped, he took heavy steps and hurriedly departed into the distance.

Just then...

Chen Qingdi’s phone suddenly rang.

The voice on the other end was precisely that of the North Sea Medicine King.

"Mr. Chen, the old hero of the Northern Theater Command, Xia Tianlong, is in critical condition. Many doctors have come, but they were all helpless. I implore you, Mr. Chen, to step in and save the old gentleman’s life!"

The North Sea Medicine King’s anxious voice came through the phone.

After asking for the details, Chen Qingdi immediately hung up.

He glanced at Xu Menghan beside him, then quickly packed his things and immediately headed for the Northern Theater Command.

「Northern Theater Command.」

Inside a massive building, Chen Qingdi had just walked in when he saw an aged and haggard figure lying on a hospital bed.

The man’s eyes were dim and lifeless, his breathing faint and unsteady.

Chen Qingdi’s expression was solemn as he approached the bedside and quietly inquired about the patient’s condition.

Soon, Chen Qingdi learned that the old hero, Xia Tianlong, was suffering from an extremely rare form of metastatic cancer.

But it wasn’t as if there were no precedents for curing this kind of disease.

It was just rather troublesome. At that moment, upon seeing Chen Qingdi, Xia Tianlong immediately gripped his hand.

Xia Tianlong forced himself to speak, his voice extremely faint. "Divine Physician Chen, I just want to live a few more years to see my family. I beg you, you must save me!"

A trace of sorrow flashed in Chen Qingdi’s eyes. He understood the sacrifices and selfless dedication this old hero had made for his country.

Chen Qingdi gently examined the old hero’s body, simultaneously treating him with acupuncture and herbal medicine.

His hands were warm and strong, every movement filled with meticulous detail!

Meanwhile, Xu Menghan assisted from the side, handing him the items he needed.

After several hours of intense treatment, Xia Tianlong’s condition gradually stabilized.

Color slowly returned to his face, and a glimmer of hope began to shine in his eyes.

Chen Qingdi reassured him in a gentle tone, "Old hero, your condition has been alleviated. As long as you take your medicine on time and properly recuperate, you will certainly live much longer."

After successfully treating the old hero, Chen Qingdi’s expression relaxed, and a slight smile graced his face.

He looked at the old hero in the bed, his eyes full of respect.

At that moment, however...

The old hero’s son suddenly walked into the room and said to Chen Qingdi with immense gratitude, "Divine Physician Chen, thank you so much!"

"You are truly the savior of our Xia Family! You must come to our home as a guest so we can express our most sincere gratitude."

However, Chen Qingdi just smiled and shook his head. "There’s no need to be so polite. I was only fulfilling my duty as a doctor. As for being a guest, that won’t be necessary."

"I’m very busy. I still need to go purchase the medicinal herbs I require."

After speaking, Chen Qingdi turned to leave the room.

Just then, the old hero’s son suddenly remembered something and hurriedly stopped him. "Divine Physician Chen, please wait! I have some news for you."

Chen Qingdi stopped and looked at the old hero’s son with curiosity.

The man said excitedly, "Tomorrow, there will be a medicinal herb auction at the city’s convention center. Many precious herbs will be up for bidding. I’ve heard that you have a profound knowledge of medicinal herbs, so I hope you’ll be able to attend."

Hearing this, Chen Qingdi smiled slightly and nodded in acceptance. "Thank you for the invitation. I will consider attending this auction."

"Medicinal herbs are very important for medical research. I hope to find some herbs there that can help improve treatment efficacy."

Hearing this, Xia Tianheng gratefully grasped Chen Qingdi’s hand, his tone filled with admiration.

"Divine Physician Chen, you are a true Medicine King! If you can attend this auction, I believe it will be of great help to all of us."

Chen Qingdi shook his head and said humbly, "I am just a doctor. Pursuing medical advancement and the health of my patients is my responsibility and my mission. However, since I have the opportunity, I am willing to go and take a look. I might just find something unexpected."

「The next day.」

The city’s convention center was teeming with people, and all sorts of precious medicinal herbs were displayed at the auction.

Chen Qingdi, dressed in a suit, walked through the crowd, his gaze full of anticipation.

The atmosphere at the auction was lively, with numerous buyers and spectators engaged in spirited discussion.

Chen Qingdi carefully observed each auction item. He gently touched the medicinal herbs, sensing the aromatic fragrance they emanated.

A few minutes later, the auction officially began. Bright lights illuminated the entire hall, and a clamor arose as people busied themselves searching for their desired treasures.

On the stage in the center of the hall, various valuable medicinal herbs were displayed, their alluring fragrances captivating the senses.

As for Chen Qingdi, he was seated in a place of honor, his eyes sweeping over the rare items on the stage.

He was the Emperor’s Physician of Medical God Island, and moreover, a true medicinal fanatic!

As for these medicinal herbs, he, Chen Qingdi, was determined to obtain them!

And in the audience below was the young master of the Ji Family, Ji Wudao. He wore a black suit, his expression cold and detached, though a hint of confidence showed in his eyes.

He was the general manager of the Ji Group, backed by a vast commercial empire, and he knew the medicinal herb market like the back of his hand.

He had come here this time not just to find suitable medicinal herbs, but more importantly, to find the one that could allow his Martial Dao realm to advance by leaps and bounds!
