Becoming Great Emperor by Playing Game-Chapter 560: Opening a Medical Clinic—Unintentionally Capturing a Young Maiden’s Heart
After half an hour, Chen Lan had finished brewing the potion.
Li Lili, who was standing nearby, inhaled the aromatic scent of the potion and immediately felt refreshed, shaking off the fatigue from her poor night’s sleep.
"This potion smells like the best scent I’ve ever encountered. It’s truly a divine medicine you’ve made."
"Of course," Chen Lan replied with a smile.
In just half an hour of interaction, Chen Lan had already familiarized himself with this place, known as Luo Huang City. The City Lord is named Chen Tian, and the strongest family here is the Li Family, with wealth totaling millions of gold, rivaling that of the city itself.
It’s truly an ordinary world, because he had just tested and found that concepts like Magic and Divine Techniques were completely foreign to Li Lili.
This made him feel relieved.
Later, he carried a bowl of the potion to the original room and said to Li Daming, "Give this to your father; it’ll take effect immediately."
Hearing this, Li Daming remained skeptical but still took the potion and began to feed it slowly to Li Guangzhi, helping him sit up.
As the potion entered his stomach, Li Guangzhi’s eyes suddenly widened, his face flushed, and he felt a warm stream coursing through his meridians, feeling incredibly comfortable!
"Father, what’s happening?" Li Daming exclaimed in surprise, pausing the feeding.
"You imbecile, keep feeding me!" Li Guangzhi shouted, his voice now strong and vigorous, unlike that of a gravely ill person.
Li Daming was momentarily stunned but realized how firm his father’s voice had become and hurriedly continued feeding him the potion.
In no time, Li Guangzhi felt his body returned to how it was fifty years ago, robust and strong, and he leaped up effortlessly.
"This truly is a divine medicine!"
Li Guangzhi looked at Chen Lan, quickly got out of bed, went over, and grasped Chen Lan’s hand. "Miracle doctor, thank you so much this time!"
After speaking, he knelt down with a thud, causing Li Daming and Li Lili to rush over to help, while Chen Lan remained unmoved. To him, as the Demon Emperor, having a mortal kneel to him was an honor for the mortal.
"It’s just a transaction. Give me a thousand gold, and conveniently, the best store in the city. I’ll use it to set up a clinic," Chen Lan said casually.
He had already decided what to do next: open a clinic here and consider it again in a hundred years.
Chen Lan’s straightforward request left them all stunned. They had never met anyone like this, not trembling in fear before the Li family head, nor terrified when seeing Li Guangzhi kneel.
But Chen Lan was different, completely nonchalant and quite peculiar.
"Of course, I’ll have someone do it right away. Please wait a moment, miracle doctor," Li Guangzhi said quickly, briskly walking out to arrange for the thousand gold and the best location for Chen Lan’s clinic.
Chen Lan sat down in a chair, and Li Daming, seeing Chen Lan’s natural demeanor, didn’t know what to say.
On the other hand, Li Lili went to strike up a conversation with Chen Lan, actively seeking topics, and Chen Lan answered casually. They were personal questions about where he was from and when he began studying medicine.
However, Chen Lan could discern from the tone that Li Lili seemed to admire him, perhaps attracted by his recent actions that captured the young girl’s heart.
Before long, Li Guangzhi returned, having prepared the thousand gold and secured the best plot of land, which would be renovated in a few days for Chen Lan to open his clinic.
Chen Lan nodded, asking Li Guangzhi to have someone send the thousand gold to the bank for safekeeping; carrying it around would be too troublesome.
Li Guangzhi readily agreed, personally attending to everything, seemingly eager to please Chen Lan.
Because he understood the importance of a miracle doctor!
Li Daming watched as Chen Lan left, his heart still filled with awe.
"Father, that young master is truly remarkable. I wish to learn from him," Li Lili said. She admired the profession of a healer, and after seeing a miracle doctor, she felt compelled to study under Chen Lan.
"Go ahead; if you can win the favor of that young master, that would be even better," Li Daming smiled, recognizing that his daughter seemed to have feelings for Chen Lan.
A miracle doctor as a son-in-law wouldn’t be bad at all.
...
Three days passed.
Chen Lan’s clinic had opened, and the story of him healing the Li family head had already spread throughout the city within those three days. Everyone knew a miracle doctor had arrived, and a young one at that.
Even before the opening, people were already lined up outside seeking treatment, and as soon as it opened, Chen Lan started a busy day.
Treating patients was a breeze for him; he was skilled in acupuncture and could cure ailments with just a few needles, while illnesses could be treated by brewing some low-grade Spirit Medicine into potions.
In half a day, he had treated over two hundred people, firmly establishing his reputation as the first miracle doctor of Luo Huang City, famed throughout the city, and even the City Lord had heard about him.
By afternoon, the number of patients had significantly decreased, as Chen Lan’s speed at curing illnesses was astonishing—diagnosing within seconds and curing within ten seconds, achieving a complete recovery.
Treating patients properly means there are no repeat customers; who wants to seek treatment every day?
After seeing his last patient, Chen Lan lay on a reclining chair and sighed, "I didn’t expect it to be so exhausting, but I’ve gained a lot from it."
Most of the patients were elderly, whose bodies succumbed to numerous ailments over time. He heard many people remark how aging had led to their illnesses.
Time truly is humanity’s greatest adversary; it takes everything away and also brings everything.
In just half a day, he benefited greatly, faintly stepping into the major achievement of the Great Dao of Time.
So this is how simple it is to comprehend time: birth, aging, sickness, death; all things are born anew and perish again, all related to time. The cosmos itself cannot escape time.
Ordinary people can’t feel the pain and despair that time brings, witnessing each day as they age, their bodies weakening by the second, no longer vibrant as in youth, having to consider their physical limits.
Perhaps, this is why his master could become the Dao Ancestor of the Great Dao of Time, having experienced a billion years of mortal time here!
Chen Lan’s eyes were resolute; to reach the extreme of the Great Dao of Time, he must cultivate arduously.
"Young Master Chen, long time no see."
At this moment, a familiar voice rang out. Chen Lan looked up to see Li Lili.
She was dressed exceptionally elegantly today.
"What brings you here?" Chen Lan asked with a smile.
"I heard you opened today, so I came to take a look. Your reputation is already known throughout the city. It won’t be long before you’re famous across the land. Congratulations," she said.
"Haha, thank you, then I’ll take your word for it," Chen Lan replied with a laugh, having now integrated into mortal life and finding it quite pleasant.
"Um, is Young Master Chen still accepting people here?" Li Lili asked shyly.
She came this time with the intention of working and learning, and also to see Chen Lan.
"You want to join? Sure," Chen Lan immediately discerned Li Lili’s purpose, sighing inwardly, amazed that he had attracted a girl so soon after arriving in this world.
But since he was immortal, she would pass away within a century or perhaps longer, making romance unfair to Li Lili.
"Really? What should I do then?" Li Lili’s eyes lit up, and she asked joyfully.
