Tan Buyi, seeing this scene, was filled with disbelief, utterly dejected, as if he had lost his soul.
“Grandpa!” Tang Nianwei’s eyes instantly reddened, and she quickly helped the old man up.
“Who is this?” Tang Anguo asked, looking at Chen Qian.
“Grandpa, this is your savior. Thanks to this Mr. for his help this time, you are safe and sound.”
A hint of surprise flashed in Tang Anguo’s eyes, then he returned to calm and smiled, “Thank you, Xiao Xiongdi!”
Su Bai smiled faintly, neither humble nor arrogant, “Old Tang is too polite.”
“May I ask, what is Xiao Xiongdi’s name?” Tang Anguo’s expression returned to normal. Sitting there, he exuded an aura of authority, a demeanor cultivated from long years in a high position.
“Su Bai.”
Tang Anguo nodded and said, “I’ve noted it down.” He took out a black business card from his pocket and handed it to Su Bai, “This is my business card. If Xiao Xiongdi ever needs the Tang Family’s help in the future, just contact me directly. This old man will not delay!”
Su Bai accepted the business card and smiled, “Then I’ll thank Old Tang in advance.”
Tang Nianwei looked at Su Bai and nervously asked, “Mr. Chen, is my grandpa’s illness considered cured now?”
Su Bai frowned slightly and said, “Old Tang’s heart meridian problem is not something that developed overnight. With my current ability, it’s difficult to cure it in one go; I can only temporarily control the condition.”
“Ah?” Tang Nianwei’s face changed drastically. She said, “Do you mean my grandpa’s illness will recur?”
Su Bai nodded.
Tang Nianwei said in a deep voice, “Is there any way to completely cure my grandpa? The Tang Family is willing to pay any price!”
Su Bai shook his head and said, “With my current strength, I can only temporarily suppress Old Tang’s condition. If I want to cure it completely, perhaps I can once my strength achieves a Breakthrough.”
“Then when can Mr. Su achieve a Breakthrough?”
“This…”
“Nianwei!” Tang Anguo raised his hand to interrupt Tang Nianwei, saying, “Xiao Xiongdi, please don’t mind her.”
He knew that questions involving a Martial Artist’s privacy were extremely taboo.
Su Bai, however, smiled faintly and said, “It’s fine.”
With the Heaven-Defying Great Dao Art, his cultivation would likely soon achieve a Breakthrough to the Qi Condensation Late Stage. By then, his True Qi would be several times more abundant, and solving Tang Anguo’s physical problems would naturally be effortless.
Tang Nianwei also realized the abruptness of her words. She bowed slightly to Su Bai and frowned, “What if my grandpa’s health problems recur during this time?”
Su Bai grinned but said nothing. He directly took out the dried ‘Snow Pine Ganoderma’ from his pocket, and with a flick of his finger, a small piece of the Snow Pine Ganoderma fell off.
He didn’t notice, however, that the inside of the Snow Pine Ganoderma was a lustrous white, forming a stark contrast with its dry outer skin.
“Use this ‘Snow Pine Ganoderma’ to brew a medicinal soup. Take it orally once every three days. It will be enough for Old Tang for more than three months. By then, I will visit and completely resolve Old Tang’s lingering problems.” The Spiritual Qi contained within this Snow Pine Ganoderma was enough to nourish Tang Anguo’s damaged heart meridian.
Tang Anguo’s expression was solemn as he thanked Su Bai.
Tang Nianwei, however, frowned as she looked at that small piece of Snow Pine Ganoderma, wondering, “Just this little bit of Snow Pine Ganoderma can ensure my grandpa won’t get sick?”
She naturally recognized that this was the Snow Pine Ganoderma she had previously tried to buy from Su Bai. But in her opinion, although this Snow Pine Ganoderma could be called a great medicine, it was definitely not a treasure medicine. While such medicinal materials were precious, the Old Tang had used quite a few for his body conditioning!
As soon as her words fell, she saw Tan Buyi’s face suddenly turn flush, his eyes glowing with excitement as he pointed at the Snow Pine Ganoderma, “Snow Pine Ganoderma King! It’s actually a Snow Pine Ganoderma King!”
“This is the legendary top-grade Spirit Medicine!”
Ordinary people wouldn’t understand, but as an experienced old Chinese doctor, he naturally knew how precious this Snow Pine Ganoderma King was!
Firstly, Snow Pine Ganoderma takes a hundred years to form, growing one fen (0.3 cm) every hundred years. Judging by the size of the Snow Pine Ganoderma in Su Bai’s hand, it had an medicinal age of at least over five hundred years! After five hundred years of medicinal age, the inside of the Snow Pine Ganoderma would appear lustrous white, and only Snow Pine Ganoderma with a medicinal age of over five hundred years could be called ‘Snow Pine Ganoderma King’ or ‘Spirit Ganoderma.’
Such a treasure medicine, which regulates Qi and body, extends life, and has unimaginable restorative effects on hidden ailments, is extremely valuable and an unhoped-for Spirit Medicine.
Tang Nianwei had sought medical treatment for Tang Anguo for so many years, so she had naturally heard of the Snow Pine Ganoderma King. She never expected to see it in Su Bai’s hand, and most importantly, she knew how Su Bai got this Snow Pine Ganoderma King!
One hundred and fifty yuan, yet he bought a Spirit Medicine treasure worth millions. What kind of luck was this? Tang Nianwei’s feelings were extremely complex as she looked at Su Bai.
Although Tang Anguo and the others didn’t know what this Snow Pine Ganoderma King was, seeing Tan Buyi’s excited, flushed old face, they vaguely understood how precious such a treasure medicine was.
Su Bai was a little surprised to see Tan Buyi and the others so excited.
Isn’t it just a semi-Spirit Medicine containing Spiritual Qi? Is there a need to be so excited? But he thought about it again, and yes, given the sparse Spiritual Qi and environment on Earth today, such a several-hundred-year-old semi-Spirit Medicine was indeed extremely rare!
Tan Buyi’s eyes flickered. After hesitating for a moment, he couldn’t help but ask, “Xiao Xiongdi, I wonder if you would be willing to part with this Snow Pine Ganoderma King? Don’t worry, I will definitely give you the market price. Last year at the Hong Kong auction, a five-hundred-year-old Snow Pine Ganoderma King was auctioned for 5.8 million. How about I offer you 6 million for yours?”
Hiss—
As soon as he said this, everyone in the pharmacy was dumbfounded, all gasping in cold air, looking at the withered black Snow Pine Ganoderma King in Su Bai’s hand, wishing they could snatch it away!
But what surprised everyone even more was that when Su Bai heard the words “six million,” he didn’t even blink an eye and directly refused.
“Not for sale!”
Although the Snow Pine Ganoderma King didn’t contain much Spiritual Qi, its medicinal age was already sufficient to serve as the main ingredient for his Body Tempering fluid. There was no way he would sell it. Moreover, as his cultivation increased, money would be easily attainable for him!
“Uh…” Seeing Su Bai refuse so decisively, Tan Buyi’s old face was full of embarrassment, and he said nothing more.
Tang Anguo and Tang Nianwei, however, looked at Su Bai with changed expressions.
Six million, rejected just like that. This young man’s background must not be ordinary!
After Su Bai finished selecting the medicinal materials he needed, the group walked out of the pharmacy. Three discreet black Mercedes S600s drove up, and four Black-Clothed Man bodyguards stood in front of the cars, waiting.
Tang Nianwei and Tang Anguo had only walked two steps when they seemed to remember something. A hint of Evil Qi appeared in their eyes, and Tang Nianwei ordered a Black-Clothed Man behind her, “Smash that Baicao Hall sign for me! How dare such an arrogant quack claim to be a divine doctor?!”
“Yes!”
Watching the Black-Clothed Man bodyguard leave, Tang Anguo’s expression was indifferent, without the slightest ripple.
This Tan Buyi had presumptuously acted without understanding the cause of his illness, being so overconfident that he almost took his life. He deserved a lesson!
“Bang bang, crunch!”
Looking at the broken sign on the ground, Tan Buyi’s face was ashen, and the regret in his heart was immeasurable. If he had known this, he would never have been so overconfident.
However, it was also fortunate that Su Bai had intervened. If Tang Anguo had died under his care, the Tang Family’s wrath would probably be more than he could bear. Thinking of this, Tan Buyi couldn’t help but feel a wave of lingering fear.
