Chapter Fourteen: Accepting a Disciple

great families of our capital city, it has been decades since we've had a Martial Saint. This isn't about fighting head-on; going up against them would be suicide, I doubt we could even withstand one...Ye Bufan ignored the others and concentrated on his sewing.

Cao Xinghua only saw his Returning Soul Nine Needles, but he didn't know that the chaotic true qi running through his body was an even better cure-all. Combined with the Returning Soul Nine Needles, it could produce unexpected results.

In a moment of stillness, time passed slowly.

About 20 minutes later, Ye Bufan withdrew the silver needles one by one and said faintly, "Okay, Old Master He's illness has been cured!"

"Recovering That's impossible! Do you think we're all idiots"

Although Gao Haisheng was curious about Ye Bufan's acupuncture techniques, he couldn't possibly believe that just a few needles could cure a patient's lung disease, especially such a severe case close to death.

He Shuangshuang said, "Yes, isn't my grandfather still in a coma"

Just a moment.

Ye Bufan spoke, raising his hand to pat He Changqing's dantian. The old man let out a mouthful of turbid air, and the bloodless face immediately recovered its rosy glow. He opened his eyes and suddenly sat up from the bed.

Gao Haisheng was startled and took several steps back. If it wasn't daytime, he would have really thought the other party was a zombie.

He knows He Changqing's condition best. The latest examination data is extremely serious, and it can be said that he is in danger of death at any time.

Just like that, the man sat up in bed by himself. He couldn't believe what he was seeing.

He Tianqi and He Shuangshuang were both surprised.

"Father, are you awake"

"Grandpa, you're finally awake! I was so scared!"

Two people held He Changqing's hand, weeping with joy.

"Alright, you two stop crying, let this old man get some fresh air. I've been lying around for too long, my bones are rusty."

After He Changqing finished speaking, he shook off the two people, turned over and got out of bed, walking slowly on the ground.

At the beginning, the speed was very slow, but after a few steps, the pace became more and more smooth, and it quickly returned to normal.

All onlookers were amazed. Just a moment ago, they were preparing for the worst, but now he was full of life and energy. Such a drastic change left them reeling in disbelief.

Gao Haisheng was so shocked that he was dumbfounded. After a long time, he closed his mouth and stepped forward to say, "This must not be true. This could be a last glimmer of life. Grandpa, I want to give you a physical examination."

He Changqing said, "Rebirth Don't be ridiculous! How do you speak like that I know my own body, it's doing well now. At least for the next ten years, Yama won't come looking for me."

Gao Haisheng said sheepishly, "Master, I was wrong just now, but I always feel that it's good to have a check-up."

He Shuangshuang said, "Grandpa, you should still get checked. We won't feel at ease until we know."

He Changqing said: "Well then, alright. I'll check it out."

After he finished speaking, he lay back down on the bed. Gao Haisheng, along with his assistants, began to use instruments to conduct a new round of tests.

The results were back almost immediately. He looked at the report in his hands, his eyes nearly popping out.

If you didn't personally conduct the examination, you might think this data comes from two people. However, the latest results show that He Changqing is in excellent health.

Specifically, the pulmonary function test came back normal. The fluid that was originally present in the lungs has disappeared, and there are no signs of fibrosis.

"This is impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"

Looking at the chemical data in his hand, he stood there dumbfounded, just repeating "This is impossible."

He Changqing sat up again and said to Cao Xinhua, "Old Cao, thank you so much this time. I know without saying that it was you who saved the old man's life!"

Cao Xinghua stepped forward and said, "Brother, you were wrong this time. My father actually wanted to save you, but unfortunately, he didn't have the ability."

This time, the one who brought you back from the Underworld is this young man, Dr. Ye Bufan.

A look of astonishment flashed across He Changqing's face, "Young Master Ye, you are truly impressive! I didn't expect someone so young to possess such extraordinary medical skills. Old man, thank you."

"My life is yours now, and from this day forward you will be our esteemed benefactor. Whatever concerns you, concerns the entire He family."

Ye Bufan said calmly, "Master, you are too kind. Your illness is nothing in our traditional Chinese medicine."

After finishing his sentence, he turned his head to look at Gao Haisheng: "Doctor Gao, shouldn't we settle the bet now"

Upon hearing this, all eyes turned to Gao Haisheng, remembering that the two had just made a bet.

"This..."

Gao Haisheng's face, normally weathered and tanned, flushed the color of a pig liver. He was indeed awed by Ye Bufan's medical skills, but handing over 1 million yuan in one go still stung his wallet.

He Tianqi's face darkened: "Dr. Gao, I'm a notary. You wouldn't renege on your debt, would you"

He is very displeased with Gao Haisheng right now. This guy just made him prepare for his father's funeral one after another, and then said he was recovering. Now that he lost the bet, he wants to back out. What does the He family think they are

Gao Haisheng's heart skipped a beat. He was very clear about the power of the He family; they held an extremely high position in Jiangsu Province and even throughout all of China.

If he fails to satisfy the He family today, he won't be able to leave Jiangnan City, or his medical career will be ruined forever.

With no other choice, he could only take the checkbook from his assistant's hand and wrote a million-dollar check to Ye Bufan.

Ye Bufan took the check and looked at it, saying: "I received the money, but don't forget your promise."

"Rest assured, I will apologize to traditional Chinese medicine in major well-known media outlets in China tomorrow."

After Gao Haisheng finished speaking, he left the He family in disgrace with his people.

He had just left when Cao Xinghua came over to Ye Bufan and said, "Old man, I want to apprentice under you. What do you think"

He wasn't joking. Ever since he witnessed the Nine Needles of Soul Return, he'd been in awe of this young man and was about to kneel down to pay his respects as a disciple.

Ye Bufan was startled and hurriedly helped him up.

"Master, that can't be done. I wouldn't dare to take you on as my disciple."

He still admires Lao Cao's character very much. He is an old man who truly contributes to the development of traditional Chinese medicine.

"Cao Xinghua said with a displeased face, “Xiao Ye, do you dislike old man I really want to learn traditional Chinese medicine from you.”

Ye Bufan hurriedly said: "This is really not the case. You are so respected, how could you accept me as your master"

How about this From now on, no matter what you learn, I promise to share everything with you.

"That won't do. In our Traditional Chinese Medicine, it's about passing down knowledge from master to disciple. It wouldn't be right otherwise. I must take you as my teacher," Cao Xinghua said. "In TCM, those who excel are the masters. Age doesn't matter."

Seeing the old man's unyielding determination, Ye Bufan could only smile wryly and say, "No matter what, I wouldn't dare to accept you as my disciple. How about this Let me act as your master and you become a disciple of my teacher instead."n's expression remained calm: "You're convicting someone based on mere speculation, which seems inappropriate."Adam said, "Yes, these are just speculations, but there is one substantive thing you can'...
