497: Chapter 50 The Little Divine Doctor

Cologne gave Luon a big hug.

Mixed emotions swirled within Luon's heart.

Over the past few months, he had already built deep bonds with the villagers.

With this departure, if he successfully entered the Sect, he didn't know when he would be able to return.

However, the looks the villagers gave Lu Chen were filled more with respect than reluctance to see him go.

Over these months, Lu Chen had been using his Healing Talent to treat the villagers, charging only a symbolic, nominal fee.

By now, everyone in the village had been nurtured back to perfect health by him.

He had even earned a title among the villagers.

"The Little Divine Physician."

Initially, this name was just something the village children called him casually.

Later, the adults started calling him that as well.

They had even specially built a house for Lu Chen by the lakeside.

Despite his young age, Lu Chen had become an object of respect for everyone in the village; no one dared to treat him as an ordinary child.

Lu Chen had also purchased a carriage and two horses from the town.

"Alright, it's time for us to set off."

Thorn did not come to see them off.

He had left the village a month ago, saying he had urgent matters to attend to.

The carriage driver was none other than Charles.

After spending these months together, he had become Lu Chen's follower.

"Brother Charles, let's head out."

Lu Chen had already, from Thorn...

...gathered all the information regarding the city.

This was the first time Luon had left the village since arriving in this world.

"My current strength has reached twenty thousand Dragon-Elephant Power. Going to the city shouldn't be dangerous anymore," Lu Chen thought to himself.

At dusk.

Their carriage arrived at a small town Lu Chen had never set foot in before.

"Boss, I think we should rest in this town tonight. It's not very safe to travel at night."

Charles called out loudly from outside the carriage.

"Fine, we'll stay here. Find a good inn with delicious food."

"You got it, Boss!"

Lan Lan licked Lu Chen's cheek.

"Oh, are you hungry? I'm hungry too; we'll eat in a bit."

Charles asked a few passersby and found out the location of the best inn in town, then drove the carriage there.

"Boss, we've arrived."

Lu Chen and Luon both stepped out of the carriage.

After booking three rooms, the three of them went to the lobby for dinner.

"Lu Chen, do you really not plan to take the Sect entrance exam?"

Luon asked with a face full of worry.

"I'm sure. Don't worry, I'm doing quite well staying in the village. If you run into any trouble in the Sect, just come back anytime; don't force yourself."

Lu Chen replied nonchalantly while gnawing on succulent, juicy roasted meat.

Luon wanted to say more.

But he was interrupted by a sudden commotion from outside.

"Is there a doctor here? Or can someone tell me where the best doctor in town is? Please, I beg you, it's an absolute emergency! My Young Miss has been struck by a sudden, severe illness and needs urgent treatment!"

An anxious voice bellowed.

Hearing the noise, the three walked out to see a man who looked like a butler pacing frantically.

The young girl beside him was having difficulty breathing, her face flushed red from a lack of oxygen, looking as if she couldn't hold on much longer.

A luxurious carriage was parked beside them.

One could tell at a glance they were from a wealthy family.

Lu Chen stepped forward quickly.

"What happened to her?"

The butler sized up the youth before him; he looked to be about the same age as his Young Miss. Although he held little hope, he spoke up with a sliver of desperation.

"We were originally heading to Qili City, but the Young Miss suddenly fell ill in the carriage, so we detoured to this town to seek medical help."

Lu Chen walked to the girl's side and reached out to grasp her wrist.

"Kid, what do you think you're doing?"

The butler shouted sternly to stop him.

"Don't worry, my brother has a Healing Talent."

Luon explained from the side.

The butler was stunned upon hearing this.

Only then did he notice a gentle power flowing from the youth's palm into the girl's body, heading straight for her lungs.

For some reason, the girl's lungs were completely damaged, appearing as if caused by long-term inhalation of chronic poison.

After these months of talent training.

Lu Chen was now able to clearly "see" the condition of a patient's internal organs.

Three minutes later, the girl's lungs were restored to their original state.

Lu Chen raised his hand and gave her back a light pat.

Seeing this, the butler almost rushed forward to hit him.

This kid actually dared to lay hands on his Young Miss!

But he suppressed his rage, deciding to demand an explanation after the fact.

But he didn't have to wait long.

Following Lu Chen's pat...

...the girl suddenly coughed up a large mouthful of thick, black clotted blood.

Her eyes slowly opened, and she regained consciousness.

The butler was dumbstruck with shock.

Who exactly was this youth?

He was simply the most skilled divine physician he had ever seen!

"Thank you, Divine Physician! Thank you for saving my Young Miss's life! We will never forget this great kindness! If you have any requests, please just ask!"

"One hundred gold coins," Lu Chen replied calmly.

Charles muttered quietly from the side.

"That's my boss for you. Even if he saves a little beauty, he never forgets to ask for money."

Without a second word, the butler immediately pulled out a bag of gold coins.

"Here are one hundred and fifty gold coins. The extra is a small token of our appreciation; please, you must accept it."
