Chapter 568 - He’s Not Easily Impressed (1/2)

This man was a nephew of the butler at the Su mansion. With his uncle to protect him, the man had been a tyrant on this street until he accidentally p.i.s.sed off the third prince and was almost killed.

The Su family butler begged his master to invite an imperial physician to see his nephew, but the doctor said that there was nothing he could do.

They had only come to the Daoist nun as a last resort. Every other doctor said that there was no hope for the patient, but Gu Bailu’s signboard claimed that she could cure all illnesses.

Gu Bailu wasn’t an expert in internal injuries, so she used a pill of Dragon Spirit Blood.

After it was processed, the pill didn’t smell of blood at all. Even a seasoned doctor wouldn’t be able to tell what it was made from.

The butler’s nephew was taken back after he ingested a pill. He was up and about by the next day, and brought gifts to thank Gu Bailu.

Word got around, and all of a sudden, Gu Bailu, this roadside fortune teller, turned into a divine doctor whom everybody came to for treatment.

Gu Bailu could only add a line on her sign: One complicated illness a day.

If she gave everybody a Dragon Spirit Blood pill, those pills would become worthless, since the rarer something was, the greater its value.

Besides, she didn’t want Qian’er to shed too much blood. While it took very little blood to make the pills, it was still unethical to make pills with human blood.

As for patients who could be treated with prescriptions, Gu Bailu didn’t turn any of them away.

A lot of them were poor, and she didn’t charge them for her services. She simply considered it as doing good deeds and cultivating merit.

The butler was in high spirits after his nephew recovered, and the master of the Su family naturally noticed. He asked the butler, “So your nephew is alright now?”
