I Have A Dual World Seal-Chapter 656 - 1 Box of Wild Medicinal Herbs

At six in the evening, a private dining club.

Duan Chengru, Duan Yu Kai, Xie Feng, the beautiful secretary, along with Lu Zheng, a total of five people, gathered in a small private room.

Duan Yu Kai was the first to raise his glass and respectfully toasted Lu Zheng, downing two liang of Maotai in one go.

Lu Zheng joined in with his own toast, though his glass contained only half a liang of wine.

Then it was Duan Chengru's turn, who couldn't help but ask Lu Zheng about the technique of using the silver needle to draw blood just before the dishes were served.

The explanation that Lu Zheng gave him almost made him think Lu Zheng was a fraud, if it weren't for his own son personally experiencing the technique, he couldn't believe it at all.

"Mr. Lu, did you really learn all these medical skills by yourself?" Duan Chengru asked in disbelief, "And you also developed Qi Sensitivity? Able to guide it into the human body and draw out stagnant blood?"

Lu Zheng shrugged, "Although it's a bit hard to believe, it's not something that can't be brought to light."

"No, no, this is really..." Duan Chengru blinked, uncertain of how to phrase it, "So many techniques in traditional medicine actually require Qi Sensitivity to work, right? Could the legendary Zhu You Department also be related to Qi Sensitivity?"

"Most do not require it, but some of the more miraculous-sounding ones indeed are." Lu Zheng nodded, "As for the Zhu You Department, there's too little information passed down, it might involve Qi Sensitivity and mental therapy, but I'm not very clear on that."

"Such as cancer treatment?" the beautiful secretary interjected.

Lu Zheng shook his head, "That's about using Chinese medicine to regulate the body, it's also related to the patient's own Essence, Qi, and Spirit and immunity, but has nothing to do with Qi Sensitivity."

The beautiful secretary nodded repeatedly, looking at Lu Zheng with stars in her eyes.

Duan Chengru then asked, "I wonder where Mr. Lu is currently employed? I know a few friends in Beidu, and if Mr. Lu is interested…"

"Elder Duan means well, but I don't need it."

Lu Zheng waved his hand, "I studied traditional medicine on my own, just as a hobby, I have no intention of becoming a doctor, besides, I don't have a medical license."

Duan Chengru, "..."

Looking at Lu Zheng, Duan Chengru was momentarily unsure of what emotion he should display.

Qi cultivation and health preservation have existed since ancient times, Duan Chengru himself has learned Qi Gong, though not the fraudulent kind resembling special abilities, just the kind that enhances inner Qi to make oneself healthier.

This Qi is in fact what's known as the Qi of Essence, Qi, and Spirit, the breath of a person which even one cannot usually feel, let alone freely manipulate or guide into another's body.

Duan Chengru had never heard of anyone cultivating Qi Gong to the extent of using Qi Gong to treat and save people, if this claim were made in the 1980s, he would probably have called the police.

Thus, with Duan Yu Kai's medical case first and Lu Zheng's explanation later, it turned his worldview upside down. The suggestion to introduce Lu Zheng to a job was not without the intention of having Lu Zheng perform some treatment and showcasing his skills.

Duan Chengru couldn't help but sigh, "It's a pity Mr. Lu doesn't practice medicine!"

Lu Zheng shook his head, "There's no pity in it, treating with Qi Sensitivity is not as magical as the legends claim, like with the silver needle drawing blood, modern medicine can treat it too, for the incurable diseases that modern medicine struggles with, Qi Sensitivity mostly can't help either."

Hearing this, Duan Chengru nodded in agreement with Lu Zheng's view.

If Lin Wan had been present, she would certainly have rolled her eyes at Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng didn't want to reveal his extraordinary abilities in front of Duan Chengru and his son, after all, Duan Chengru is a master of traditional medicine who has worked in Beidu for many years, clearly having connections at higher levels, and he didn't want to get involved, finding it easy to get into trouble.

Last time, it was only because he thought Duan Yu Kai was a good person and didn't want him to be paralyzed that he helped out once, he didn't want to get himself involved further because of this matter.

Once Duan Chengru was appeased, they could happily enjoy their meal.

During the banquet, Duan Yu Kai initially wanted to ask about the Beauty Pill, but seeing that Xie Feng was present, he refrained.

...

The dinner concluded with hosts and guests enjoying each other's company.

After everyone had eaten their fill, Xie Feng couldn't help but frequently glance at a suitcase placed in the corner of the private room.

Lu Zheng smiled, Duan Yu Kai, seeing everyone had put down their chopsticks, instructed the server to clear away the leftovers and bring in a pot of Dragon Well tea.

"There's no rush for tea, President Xie can first have a look at the goods I brought this time."

Pushing the teapot aside, Lu Zheng placed the suitcase on the table, casually unzipping it, a fresh earthy fragrance wafted out.

Opening the suitcase, everyone leaned in, then couldn't help but inhale sharply.

"Three wild mountain ginseng, all over a century old, one weighing a pound, the other two weighing over eight liang."

"Two pieces of Huang Jing, both harvested from cliffs less than a month ago, very fresh."

"Seven Fuling, though they appear ordinary, ones with longstanding efficacy are hard to find, all these have medicinal ages of over fifty years, these two might be nearing a hundred years."

"Two reishi, picked from the roots of ancient trees, each over a hundred years old, the whole body is concentrated essence, be cautious when experimenting with the medicinal effects, lest overestimate the dosage."

Lu Zheng introduced each item one by one.

Xie Feng, looking at the suitcase filled with medicinal ingredients, eyes gleaming, nodded repeatedly, just as he was about to instruct the secretary to transfer funds, he saw Duan Chengru on the side widening his eyes in astonishment, reaching out to pick up a ginseng.

"Elder Duan…"

Xie Feng reached out his hand, daring not to stop him.

Although Huai Ren Hall wasn't afraid of the Nansheng Group, Elder Duan was advanced in age, highly qualified, with high-level connections, and it was best to avoid offending him if possible.

"These are freshly harvested wild mountain ginseng!" Duan Chengru mumbled to himself.

The wild ginseng Lu Zheng brought, though washed, still carried the fresh earthy aroma, making it easy to identify.

Duan Chengru swallowed, unable to resist plucking a ginseng whisker and placing it in his mouth, causing Xie Feng a moment of heartache.

"What a good ginseng!" Duan Chengru's eyes lit up, "It really is a century-old wild mountain ginseng!"

Seeing Duan Yu Kai's eyes light up as if prepared to speak, Xie Feng cleared his throat and turned to ask Lu Zheng, "President Lu, the price is as discussed before?"

Lu Zheng nodded, "Of course."

"Xiaoliu, transfer the money to President Lu, also count all three ginseng as a pound each."

"Yes!"

Secretary Liu nodded and immediately transferred the money to Lu Zheng, according to the price previously agreed upon.

Ten seconds later, the funds were credited.

Duan Yu Kai watched from the side but ultimately said nothing.

No rush, where there's one, there's another, since he's already established a connection with Lu Zheng, there will be opportunities in the future.

...

Having dined and sipped tea.

A little past eight in the evening, everyone left the private dining club.

Having politely declined the offers to be taken home from both parties, Lu Zheng unlocked a shared bicycle once more, leaving everyone with a dashing silhouette.

...

Returning home, Lu Zheng took a shower and was about to call Lin Wan, when his phone lit up with news alerts from various platforms.

"Zhao Xiaodao Encountered a Northeast Tiger!"
