AST 2052 - The Power of the Miraculous Physician, The Beginning of the Path Leading to A Miraculous Physician (2/2)
After something like this had happened, no one would ever dare to go back on their words anymore. Although this miraculous physician didn't have a long life, he had been a prominent existence of his time and many powerful influences didn't dare to offend him. It was because if he was willing, he could cause those great influences to be instantly wiped out. This was the power of a great miraculous physician.
Qing Shui now felt that he could do the same as well. However, he was still against doing something like this. He hoped that the relationship could be more like between friends. He would be able to find it more acceptable like this.
However, Qing Shui soon found a problem. In his previous life, a doctor would ask for payment for his medical services. However, despite having so many patients, there were very few who could become friends with him. It was impossible to make all the patients his friends. A person with great medical skills probably had countless patients he had treated before and wouldn't recognize all of them. So how could he then become friends with all of them? There might not even be 1 in 10,000 who could become friends with the doctor.
Therefore, Qing Shui believed that the things miraculous physician had done in the past were correct.
”Before I provide the treatment, let's talk about the remuneration. If you agree, I'll start immediately.”
”Miraculous Physician Qing, please go ahead and say them!”
”You guys should be from the Ji Clan, right?”
The other party nodded. Since they gave their names, they weren't afraid of being recognized.
”People with great power should have great responsibilities. How much I ask from my patients depends on who they are.”
”We're willing to pay regardless of the amount.” That married lady quickly said.
Qing Shui shook his head. ”If I were to treat a poor person, even if the person is about to die, I can do so without asking for anything in return. I can sustain losses to help that person. You can ask around. I'm not doing this for reputation, but for a peace of mind.” Qing Shui claimed
Qing Shui's words made Ji Yixun reveal a look of admiration. There were few people that Ji Yixun respected, let alone a young man like Qing Shui.
”However, when I provide treatment for capable people, I won't ask for money. Instead, you will owe me a favor. In the future, you'll have to do something for me without asking for anything in return. This matter could be something very difficult or it could be something very simple. You might even not be required to do anything for the rest of your life.” Qing Shui looked at Ji Yixun and spoke seriously.
”Does it still apply, regardless of what the matter is? Will it be something that will send the entire Ji Clan to their deaths?” At that moment, Ji Yilie asked.
”I can only say that it won't be something that goes against morals, nor will I ask for your people to sacrifice their lives needlessly. I can't give any other guarantees. I can give you time to consider this. Let me know your answer after you've thought it through.” Qing Shui explained and heaved a sigh of relief. He had finally taken the first step.
”There's no need to consider. I will give you my word!” Ji Yixun said immediately.
”Eldest Brother!”
”Alright, I have the final say. Miraculous Physician Qing, I give you my word.” Ji Yixun waved his hand and stopped Ji Yilie.
Ji Yixun had the feeling that this young man wasn't someone evil and he believed that Qing Shui could be trusted. This was why he decided to agree to this without any hesitation. If the other party was a physician who harbored evil intentions, he would give it more thought. However, there would be times when even if one knew that the other party harbored evil intentions, he still had to accept the condition.
Therefore, he felt very lucky in meeting Qing Shui.
Qing Shui didn't say much and started the treatment immediately. Qing Shui naturally had no problems in dealing with this case. If Qing Shui were to go all out, he would probably be able to let Ji Yilie completely recover within a week. However, Qing Shui didn't need to waste his Qi of the Ancient Strengthening Technique going all out like that. Therefore, he proceeded with the method he said earlier, one that would take a months' time.
With that, the members of the Ji Clan would have to stay here for a month. This was nothing to them. If Ji Yilie's condition could be treated, they would be willing to stay here, even if it took one year or even ten years.
