53: Always be on guard against others

To be honest, Luo Pingchuan didn't understand some of the unfamiliar terms that occasionally popped out of Long Yuan's mouth, because they belonged to two completely different medical systems that he had never encountered before.

He seemed to understand the individual words and language, but when strung together, he was bewildered and didn't know what Long Yuan meant.

However, subconsciously, he felt that this treatment method was truly amazing and had a high chance of success!

Moreover, if Long Yuan's method was used, the treatment cost didn't seem to be that high; it was a world of difference compared to the costs of previous medical treatments.

After Blue Star entered the Profound Qi era, doctors like Luo Pingchuan often relied on ready-made Profound Medicines for their patients.

These Profound Medicines included the herbs themselves, or elixirs prepared by apothecaries, and pills refined by Alchemists.

The changes in the world caused many herbs to become Profound Medicines, their medicinal properties enhanced or mutated.

Under the research of apothecaries and Alchemists, the medicinal properties of many Profound Medicines were verified, and the corresponding diseases were also researched.

Thus, using a specific Profound Medicine, elixir, or pill to treat a certain disease almost became a consensus among doctors.

If the effect of a certain Profound Medicine was not obvious, they would be more inclined to find a similar Profound Medicine with stronger medicinal properties to treat the disease.

Normally, this approach was quite effective, and thus it gradually formed a treatment routine.

For example, the three women this time suffered from extensive skin burns.

After simply cleaning and bandaging the wounds, doctors immediately found corresponding Profound Medicines for skin damage and had them take it.

However, their wounds continued to fester and were difficult to heal.

In the doctors' opinion, this was definitely due to insufficient medicinal properties of the Profound Medicine, so they looked for more Advanced Profound Medicines of the same type, such as those with longer lifespans, or different names but similar medicinal properties.

After using them, it couldn't be said there was no effect, as the wounds finally stopped festering, and some areas even began to scab over.

But many areas were still festering, and the patients were constantly in a high fever, groaning and suffering all day, their minds hazy.

However, this was already the best Profound Medicine the Luo Family Hospital could find.

According to the Luo Family Old Ancestor, to help them recover, it would probably require Heaven Rank Profound Medicine with similar medicinal properties, and that was a big problem!

Not to mention whether such Profound Medicine with similar medicinal properties exists in this world, just the Heaven Rank level alone is daunting, because its value is unimaginably high.

Generally speaking, such medicines are extremely rare, and secondly, they are all controlled by the royal Family or some large Families and powerful forces.

Ordinary people don't even have a chance to see them, let alone buy and use them, because it's simply impossible.

Even if these three women were from the Geng Family, one of the five super Families in the Southern Capital, their status within the Family was not high enough to use Heaven Rank Profound Medicine.

Even if it were, whether the Geng Family had such Profound Medicine was another question, let alone for three people.

If they were truly to be cured, it would require three Heaven Rank Profound Medicines, which is a thought that makes one's scalp tingle.

No wonder no one was optimistic about their recovery; after all, there were too many difficulties involved, and it would definitely not be easily overcome.

But...

The treatment method proposed by Long Yuan struck Luo Pingchuan like a bolt of lightning, opening his mind and making him completely unsettled!

Think about it, if this treatment method really works, what it implies behind it is simply unimaginable.

Perhaps it's... an enormous fortune?!

The Luo Family could very well become famous overnight with this medical case, shaking the entire medical community of the Great Ming, followed by an endless stream of people, wealth, and glory...

Perhaps the Luo Family would also be elevated in rank as a result, advancing to a second-tier Family, a first-tier Family, or even a super Family...

Luo Pingchuan's mind churned, imagining the endless wealth and prestige after success, and a strange, sneer smile involuntarily appeared on his face...

"Luo Shu? Are you alright?!!!" Long Yuan asked tentatively, noticing that Luo Pingchuan seemed to be lost in thought.

"Father?! Father?!!! What's wrong with you?!!!!" Luo Ying also called out, noticing that her father's state seemed a bit off.

Could it be that he was frightened by what Long Yuan said?

Regardless of whether Luo Pingchuan was frightened, Luo Ying herself was definitely startled.

After hearing Long Yuan's words, she was completely bewildered, but she was still young and didn't have Luo Pingchuan's rich imagination.

Therefore, she quickly recovered, and seeing her father in such a state was truly unacceptable, so she stepped forward, grabbed his arm, shook it, and even gave him a hard pinch, finally waking Luo Pingchuan from his sleepwalking state.

"Ah, this... *cough cough cough*... I'm fine!

That... Long Yuan, is this treatment method you mentioned truly something you learned from that old man?" Luo Pingchuan cleared his throat and asked.

"Yes," Long Yuan replied.

"Who was that old man? Where is he? What was his name? Do you have his contact information?" Luo Pingchuan asked urgently.

"I don't know much about those things.

After all, I was still young then, and I met him when I was traveling with my parents.

However..."

"However what?!"

"My parents told me that the old man was a reclusive master and has already passed away."

"Oh?! So, this treatment method is now only known by you and your parents?" Luo Pingchuan pressed.

Long Yuan paused.

What did Luo Pingchuan mean by asking this?

Did he want to...

Although he didn't want to think too badly of Luo Pingchuan, one must be cautious.

Long Yuan said, "My parents are not interested in this.

At that time, only I followed that old man to learn.

As for whether he has descendants, I'm not very clear..."

"This... Since that old man was a reclusive master, even if he had descendants, they might not all understand his medical skills.

Perhaps you are the only student he has in this world!

Hmm, how about this: I will fully cooperate with your treatment plan, and all costs will be borne by my Luo Family.

If you succeed, then all the medical fees paid by the Geng Family will be yours, but I have one condition..." Luo Pingchuan said.

"What condition?"

"I want to follow the entire treatment process to prevent unforeseen changes midway that could lead to the deterioration of the three female patients' conditions.

After all, they are from the Geng Family, and we, the Luo Family, cannot afford to offend them.

If any accident occurs during the treatment process, the trouble would be considerable," Luo Pingchuan said.

"No problem!

Then I must thank Luo Shu for his help!" Long Yuan said with a smile.

"Haha, since you and Luo Ying are classmates, I will naturally give my full support!

Saving lives is like fighting a fire.

When can you start?

I can immediately arrange for someone to prepare whatever you need!"

"Thank you, Luo Shu!

I can list the necessary items now.

As soon as they are all in place, I can start immediately..."
