Chapter 321 - As Blind as a Bat (2/2)

Qin Haodong said, “If he can make profit while promoting the industry, the whole industry would benefit, so I’m fine with it. However, I am worried that he might do something that will harm the industry.”

Gao Fengwen nodded in agreement. “Yes, I share the same concern with you. The industry is too fragile to take another hit.”

Shen Xiangfu said, “Our top priority now is to prepare for the volunteer clinic tomorrow. We can’t let them outshine us.”

Zhong Sihai seemed quite confident as he said with certainty, “Trust me. As capable as Fu Hailong and Liu Baikun may be, we’ve got the Medical Sage to back us up. There’s no way we would lose to them.”

Gao Fengwen said, “That’s right. Wang Dacheng made this choice only to embarrass himself!”

Qin Haodong smiled and said, “It’s nice that you’re confident, but we’d better take this seriously. Now, get ready to move!”

The next morning, at Healthy Square, a banner of the Chinese Medicine Practitioner Association spread in the east and a banner of the Hall of Medical Fame rose up in the west. People could easily tell that the two opposing banners were challenging each other.

Qin Haodong had 78 Chinese medicine practitioners with him. Most of these people were over 70 years old, so it would be too tiring for them if they were stuck at the clinic for a whole day. Therefore, Qin Haodong divided them into 38 groups of two. There were 40 desks there, including one for Qin Haodong.

The Hall of Medical Fame had almost as many doctors, so their layout was exactly the same.

At 9 o’clock, the free clinic opened. Thanks to the efficient promotion of both parties, many people came for a free diagnosis and the two parties were surrounded by patients.

However, things soon became quite awkward. Long lines of people were waiting before Gao Fengweng and Shen Fuxiang, while there was no one by Qin Haodong’s desk. The ground before him looked completely empty.

He understood why this was happening. The other doctors were all wearing robes and had long eyebrows and beards that made them look professional. Qin Haodong was in his 20s and didn’t look like a Chinese medicine practitioner at all.

In addition, he had rigged his photos and used an illusion on his face so that he could travel more easily. So far, no one had recognized the famous Medical Sage.

Everyone else was fully engaged. Qin Haodong was the only idle doctor. He smiled bitterly and wondered to himself whether he needed a fake beard.

Suddenly, someone cried out, “Doctor Qin, Doctor Qin! Here I am!”

Qin Haodong looked up and saw Ma Sanbao approaching with a middle-aged man.

“Dr. Qin, this is a friend of mine. He has been suffering from leukemia for more than two years and he came to Jiangnan City for the Blood Revival Elixir. He has been waiting in line for days, but he still failed to get it. Could you please check on him? We would appreciate it if you could sell some Blood Revival Elixir to him.”

Qin Haodong said, “Well then, I’ll take a look.”

He asked the middle-aged man to sit at his desk and began to feel the man’s pulse.

Soon, he retracted his right hand and said, “You have leukemia and a sick liver. I’ll write you a prescription. Take the Blood Revival Elixir for three days and follow the instructions on this prescription. You will be cured in a week.”

He picked up a pen and paper, wrote down a few things, and gave the paper to the man along with a box of Blood Revival Elixir. He had known that he would meet leukemia patients today, so he had prepared some elixirs and carried them. Now, they were put into use.

“Thank you, Dr. Qin!” The middle-aged man took the prescription and the box gratefully. Then, he took out a stack of cash and asked, “How much is it? You name the price!”

Qin Haodong said, “It’s free clinic day today. Consider it a gift. Just take the medicine in time!”

Taking the medicine on site had been the number one rule since the Blood Revival Elixir had been developed. No one was allowed to take it away.

“Okay, thank you, Dr. Qin. Thank you so much. You’re a living sage. I’ll build a memorial tablet for you at home!”

After saying thanks many times, the man took the pills and left with the prescription. Before leaving, Ma Sanbao told the onlookers, “What are you looking at? You’re as blind as bats! Can’t you tell that he’s the Medical Sage? This is Qin Haodong!

He can cure all the illnesses in the world. Get in line now! This might be your only chance to see him!”

Suddenly, those people realized that the young man was the famous Medical Sage, also known as Qin Haodong.

“Oh my god, the Medical Sage is in front of me and I didn’t recognize him. I need to see him…”

“Stop waiting in line here. The Medical Sage is just over there. What are you waiting for?”

“It’s the doctor who invented the Blood Revival Elixir. My uncle is dying to get that medicine. I’ll wait in line for him now…”

People flooded to wait in line upon hearing that Qin Haodong was the Medical Sage. Those who ran too slowly could only wait behind. The ground in front of Qin Haodong that used to be empty was now occupied by an endless line.
