78 -78: Visiting to Collect a Debt
“Dragon-Tiger-Lion-Elephant Technique” first layer, the “Sea-Cleaving Realm,” is the easiest to cultivate and does not have sub-realms; one can step across it in one stride.
However, starting from the second layer, the “Accumulating Essence Realm,” the difficulty of cultivation greatly increases.
Similar to the grading system of martial artists in this world, Fang Bai’s “Dragon-Tiger-Lion-Elephant Technique,” starting from the second layer “Accumulating Essence Realm,” would also be divided into four sub-realms: early stage, middle stage, high rank, and perfection.
Only by breaking through the bottleneck of these four sub-realms consecutively can one shatter the barrier of the great realm and reach another brand-new realm.
In early July, Fang Bai began to pack his bags, preparing to set out in a few days to Yanjing to report to Yanjing Hospital.
Su Linglong originally wanted to go to Yanjing with Fang Bai, but she was politely refused by him.
Before leaving Zhongzhou, there were still a few things Fang Bai needed to do.
The first was to visit “Rejuvenation Hall” to claim one million yuan from Hua Yi.
The second was to pay a visit to the “Hungry Wolf Group” to seek an explanation for the attack by Tu Fu on himself.
The third was to continue treating his father Fang Gang’s legs, with recent gains in strength boosting Fang Bai’s confidence to completely heal his father’s legs within a few days.
Only after taking care of these matters would Fang Bai leave with a peaceful heart, free of any concerns.
Unable to accompany Fang Bai, Su Linglong felt disappointed, so she made plans to meet Fang Bai in Yanjing and left ahead of him.
The morning after Su Linglong left Zhongzhou, Fang Bai returned from his body-refinement practice; after having breakfast, he greeted his parents and hurried to “Rejuvenation Hall” with the IOU written by Hua Yi.
The district where “Rejuvenation Hall” is located is not in the bustling commercial area of Zhongzhou City but quite secluded.
Originally, he thought the secluded place would have few pedestrians and vehicles, appearing very quiet, but when Fang Bai approached “Rejuvenation Hall,” he found the area bustling with people coming and going, and many vehicles, quite lively.
In front of “Rejuvenation Hall,” the parking lot was filled with vehicles from all over the country, and the people who came out of the vehicles included elderly persons of a hundred years, infants of several months, and even quite a few blue-eyed, high-nosed foreigners.
And every person who walked out of “Rejuvenation Hall” carried medicine bags of various sizes in their hands, wearing relaxed smiles on their faces, obviously having obtained satisfactory results.
Needless to say, these were all people who had come to “Rejuvenation Hall” to seek medical advice and drugs.
“Rejuvenation Hall, truly lives up to its reputation!”
Looking at the crowded and lively scene in front of “Rejuvenation Hall,” Fang Bai couldn’t help but silently exclaim, thinking that his initial boast of making the Fang Family’s clinic surpass “Rejuvenation Hall” seemed a challenging and lengthy goal.
Fang Bai followed a middle-aged couple into “Rejuvenation Hall” and was met with a huge hall.
On the east side of the hall was the registration and payment area, where patients coming for treatment had to register first.
On the west side of the hall were rows of medicine cabinets, filled with pre-cut various herbs, and patients with doctors’ prescriptions lined up outside the cabinets, waiting for “Rejuvenation Hall” staff to dispense their medicines.
On the south side of the hall, a series of long tables were arranged in a line, behind which sat more than a dozen traditional Chinese doctors who were using the “Four Diagnostics” to diagnose patients’ illnesses.
The dozen or so doctors were mostly over forty years old, except for one on the far left who looked to be in his twenties.
Usually, when patients seek out traditional Chinese doctors, they tend to believe the older the doctor, the more skilled the medicine.
Logically, a traditional Chinese doctor in his twenties shouldn’t have many patients, yet a long queue had formed in front of the young doctor, showing that he was quite popular with the patients.
When Fang Bai saw the appearance of the young doctor, he couldn’t help but laugh.
That person was none other than Hua Yi.
In front of Hua Yi’s table, simple medical instruments such as a stethoscope and blood pressure monitor were placed, along with a sign that had his name and a brief introduction of the doctor.
Fang Bai glanced at the plaque, which read, “Hua Yi, the leading figure among the younger generation of ‘Rejuvenation Hall,’ has deeply inherited the medical skills of the Hua Family and has been personally instructed by the National Doctor, Hua Tianhe.”
“Rejuvenation Hall” is a Traditional Chinese Medicine family with a thousand-year heritage and holds a pivotal position in Huaxia’s medical community.
Being a National Doctor, Hua Tianhe has a resounding reputation, well-known to everyone, and recognized by all.
Being personally tutored by him proves that Hua Yi’s medical skills have received his approval and are unlikely to be poor.
Fang Bai thought to himself that perhaps it was the last sentence on the plaque that made many patients overlook Hua Yi’s youth and flock to him eagerly.
Martial Artists have sharp intuition, and Hua Yi was no exception.
When Fang Bai stared at Hua Yi, Hua Yi quickly sensed something amiss.
After looking up, he locked eyes with Fang Bai, standing in the center of the hall.
Their gazes met, and Hua Yi’s face instantly changed.
“Doctor, how is my condition?”
The patient sitting in front of Hua Yi saw his face turn awful and feared they had contracted some serious illness, trembling as they spoke.
Hua Yi ignored the patient and fixed his gaze on Fang Bai, his expression tense and uneasy, with a hint of evil Qi.
Fang Bai walked slowly to Hua Yi, took out the IOU personally written by Hua Yi, waved it in front of him, and said with a smile, “I’m short of cash recently, so I’ve come to collect my money.”
“I don’t have money right now.
Give me some time, and I’ll pay you.”
Hua Yi was clearly unwilling for the people of “Rejuvenation Hall” to know he owed Fang Bai a million yuan, he looked around and whispered.
“No way!”
Fang Bai shook his head and said, “I’ve already given you more than ten days.
I can’t wait any longer!”
“I’ll give you six hundred thousand now, and the remaining four hundred thousand in ten days!
How about that?”
“No way!
One million, not one cent less!”
“You…”
Hua Yi forcefully suppressed his anger, clenched his fist tightly.
If he could beat Fang Bai, if it weren’t for being in “Rejuvenation Hall” at the moment, he would have already gone up and given Fang Bai a good beating.
“Ten days!
Give me another ten days, and I’ll figure out a way to get the money for you!”
Hua Yi took a deep breath, striving to calm himself.
“No way!
I need to leave in the next few days and can’t wait any longer!”
Seeing Fang Bai stand in front of the desk, with an attitude of not leaving until he got his money, Hua Yi became both angry and anxious, grinding his teeth as he said, “You…
Fang Bai, don’t push me!”
“How am I pushing you?”
Fang Bai looked innocent as he said, “Paying with life for murder, repaying debts—it’s only natural!
You owe me a million; it’s written clear as day…
Are you thinking of going back on your word?”
Hua Yi laughed instead of getting angry, “A joke!
Would I renege on a debt?
A mere million, I, Hua Yi, wouldn’t even bat an eye…”
Fang Bai stretched out his hand forward, “Then give me the money!”
Hua Yi said with a sullen face, “I’ve already told you, in ten days!”
Fang Bai raised his voice, “I’ve also told you, I can’t wait ten days!
Not even one day!
Give me one million yuan now, not a cent less!”
He deliberately spoke loudly, causing both the doctors of “Rejuvenation Hall” and the patients who had come for treatment to turn their attention toward them.
