54: Luo Yunfeng

Long Yuan listed all the medical conditions and tools he needed, but many of the items were things Luo Pingchuan had never heard of or seen. Left with no choice, Long Yuan either substituted them with alternatives or drew diagrams on the spot for Luo Pingchuan, urging him to quickly find someone to refine them. After that, he left Luo Family Hospital, politely declining Luo Ying's offer to have someone drive him back, and returned alone by bus.

On the bus, he carefully reflected on the day's events, feeling that he had been a bit too overconfident these past few days!

Indeed, ever since his Breakthrough to the Warrior Stage - Early Phase and the surge in his combat power, his self-confidence had skyrocketed. He believed that in Fengyang County, the highest combat power was merely the Late-stage Martial Master, represented by County Magistrate Geng Yun and the Ye Family's Old Ancestor Ye Dehui. However, neither their Cultivation Technique nor their Martial Skill could compare to his. With his current combat power, defeating them might not be effortless, but it was certainly not difficult. Thus, he not only had the power to protect himself in Fengyang County but also stood out, no longer needing to be as cautious and subservient as before. He could do whatever he wanted...

So, yesterday, he boldly went out alone, visited the Martial Arts Market, and even gathered all the Body Tempering Potion ingredients.

This morning, upon hearing that Duan Hu had been knocked unconscious, he immediately thought of avenging Duan Hu, teaching those men a lesson, and showing them why the flowers were so red.

Just now, eager to recoup the expenses from yesterday's Body Tempering Potion preparation, he proposed this treatment plan, learned from a medical text in the Treasure Pavilion, to Luo Ying and Luo Pingchuan, the father and daughter.

"Overconfident... definitely overconfident! The Xuanhuang Bloodline Qi is currently my fatal weakness, yet I stayed in the Martial Arts Market for so long. If any hidden, powerful Martial Ancestor or above had noticed, I could have been targeted. Also, Luo Pingchuan is a Warrior Stage - Early Phase, and when we met just now, he seemed to have sensed my Bloodline Qi. Fortunately, a Martial Master's Xuanjue is much weaker than a Martial Ancestor's; after all, one is Acquired and the other is Innate, they cannot be compared. But regardless, a Martial Master Realm is still capable of detecting my Bloodline Qi. For example, some prominent Family disciples inherently possess Family Bloodlines, making them very sensitive to Bloodline Qi, so it's not surprising for them to sense the Xuanhuang Aura. My biggest mistake was not having a good understanding of the current medical industry in the Great Ming Empire, which led me to propose an overly advanced treatment plan, immediately drawing Luo Pingchuan's attention!!!"

Thinking this, Long Yuan felt a bit helpless. He truly hadn't integrated well into this otherworld yet; his mindset wasn't stable enough, and he hadn't thought things through before acting!

Even if he was truly invincible in Fengyang now, the other party was a Family power. They could not only band together for warmth but also potentially have backing and support from above. For example, the Ye Family's main branch was a first-tier great aristocratic Family, and the Geng Family was a super aristocratic Family. As for the Luo Family, it was quite normal for them to have someone behind them. If he were to fight them alone now, it would be akin to hitting a rock with an egg.

Regarding the conditions proposed by Luo Pingchuan, Luo Ying might not have seen the true meaning, but Long Yuan felt a sense of vigilance. He knew that while Luo Pingchuan seemed to offer generous terms, there was a high probability that he wanted to steal his entire treatment plan and claim it as his own!

And Luo Pingchuan's inquiries about the old man and Long Yuan's parents were very likely to ascertain the relevant informed parties. If necessary, he might even eliminate them to monopolize this treatment plan and present it as a medical achievement of the Luo Family!

"Although I shouldn't think of you so badly right now, I've heard too many such stories on Earth, so it's better to be prepared..." Long Yuan shook his head, then secretly smiled. In the information he had given to Luo Pingchuan earlier, he had deliberately included many extra Xuan medicines and instruments, especially haphazardly adding and subtracting quantities of the medicine. Luo Pingchuan would never be able to figure out the formula for this nutrient solution, even if he racked his brains.

"Do you think you can secretly learn by following the whole process? Even if I show you everything clearly, you wouldn't understand the underlying principles. These are medical methods from two different civilizations, with completely different knowledge structures. The gap between them is like heaven and earth, plus I was prepared, so just wait to be frustrated..." While reflecting on himself, Long Yuan thought about how to deal with the situation. The first thing, of course, was to add Luo Pingchuan and Luo Family Hospital to the Heavenly Dao Eye's priority tracking list. Before long, a massive amount of information and live videos came pouring in...

"The Luo Family's rise to power was indeed quite extraordinary..." Long Yuan quickly browsed through the information, feeling a sense of emotion. The rise of every Family was not a simple matter; during this process, many unsavory things were inevitable, and some were even bloody and unbearable to witness...

However, those were all past events. What Long Yuan mainly wanted to see was the current cooperation between the two sides. If the Luo Family truly acted ungratefully, then he wouldn't be polite.

At Luo Family Hospital, the scene was still bustling. In a corner of Zone C, a large office had been cleared out and redecorated. Many instruments not commonly seen in hospitals were moved here, and Xuan medicines were continuously sent to an empty room next door. By midnight, only Director Luo Pingchuan remained. Suddenly, a figure floated in, and his voice arrived before he did: "Chuan'er, what do you need me for?"

This person had black hair and a ruddy complexion, looking no more than forty years old. He wore a medical robe, with a gourd tucked at his waist, and exuded a strong aura. He was none other than the Luo Family's Old Ancestor, Luo Yunfeng.

"Old Ancestor! What do you think of this place?" Luo Pingchuan said respectfully.

"This place... why did you move everything here? Where did you get these glass vessels? Wouldn't they be easily broken by patients if placed in the hospital?" Luo Yunfeng said with a frown.

Luo Pingchuan smiled, "Old Ancestor, this isn't for patients; it's a laboratory!"

"A laboratory? What is a laboratory?" Luo Yunfeng was taken aback.

"Well, a laboratory, simply put, is where we tinker and research Xuan medicines. It just happens to be set up like this now..." Luo Pingchuan said proudly.

"Oh? What Xuan medicine are you researching here? And why is it set up like this?" Luo Yunfeng became curious.

Luo Pingchuan carefully recounted the day's events to Luo Yunfeng, then took out Long Yuan's hand-drawn laboratory diagram, along with his lengthy list of Xuan medicines and diagrams of various medical tools, presenting them to Luo Yunfeng as if offering a treasure.

Luo Yunfeng's eyes widened as he listened, looking at the diagrams and list with some disbelief. He asked in surprise, "You mean all these things came from a 16-year-old boy?"

"Yes! He's Xiao Ying's classmate from the Elite Class, named Long Yuan."

"Impossible! How could a 16-year-old boy know so much? This is the first time I've heard of such a treatment method; it's utterly astounding. And you actually believed his nonsense!!!" Luo Yunfeng snorted.

Luo Pingchuan quickly interjected, "Old Ancestor, he didn't come up with this himself. He learned it from a reclusive master. However, this reclusive master has passed away, which means Long Yuan is the only one in the world who possesses this large-area skin burn treatment technique!"

"Oh?!" Luo Yunfeng was startled, his eyes beginning to flicker.

Luo Pingchuan continued, "If we can learn this treatment technique from Long Yuan, our Luo Family's reputation will soar. By then, not only will the Geng Family thank us, but other aristocratic Families will also look at our Luo Family with new eyes. And the Great Ming military, you know, there are many soldiers with this type of injury every year. They will all come to our Luo Family for treatment..."

"This..." Luo Yunfeng listened thoughtfully.

"Old Ancestor, when Long Yuan explained this treatment technique, I still didn't quite understand some parts. I took down many details and wanted to ask for your guidance..." Luo Pingchuan pulled out a notebook, densely filled with notes and marked with many important circles.

Luo Yunfeng nodded, and the two quickly began to study in the laboratory.
