Chapter 100: Healing the Sick and Saving Lives Is Nothing But a Word of Chivalry.

Hearing the old man's question, Ye Fei's eyes flashed with a sudden thought. He suddenly recalled that before descending the mountain, his master had entrusted him with one matter. This matter wasn't particularly noteworthy, but Ye Fei still remembered it in his heart. His master had once told him that in the future, if anyone outside asked about Ye Fei, or inquired about his origins or whereabouts, Ye Fei must tell that person that he was already a deceased individual. At first, Ye Fei didn't understand why. After all, no disciple would disrespect their master. But the next words from his master made Ye Fei roll his eyes repeatedly. "If you don't say that, the enemies I made back then will find you, and you'll mysteriously become my scapegoat!" So, facing the white-haired old man's inquiry at this moment, Ye Fei simply cleared his throat, pretending to look sorrowful and nostalgic, and sighed, "To be honest, he... he has already passed away." "What?" "Daoist... the immortal has passed away!?" Upon hearing this, the white-haired old man's cloudy old eyes suddenly became turbid, immediately shedding tears as he wiped his eyes and sighed, "The Daoist benefited the world and saved people with such benevolence; how could he have passed away first? The medical skills the Daoist entrusted to me back then couldn't be passed down, what a pity, what a pity!" It sounded full of grief and sorrow. "Ha?" Ye Fei was completely bewildered. What was this old man talking about? He didn't know that his master had taught this disciple something like that. In the pharmacy, Chen Yu and the girl both looked at each other, completely at a loss, not understanding what had happened. Beside them, the girl, seeing her grandfather's expression, was frightened and confused, not understanding what had happened, but very sensibly took out her own handkerchief to gently wipe Grandpa's tears and softly comfort him. At this time, however, Ye Fei suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He suddenly remembered: Back when his master took him as a disciple, he had casually mentioned to him that while traveling in the secular world, he had once helped a great figure who was poisoned by gu. When that figure was presented to him, he was already rotten all over, barely hanging on with one breath. And the person who sent this man over was said to be a famous doctor who had somehow learned of his name. At that time, his master saw this person as pitiful and, since he had some free time, lent a helping hand and saved him. The method of treatment was also simple. His master demonstrated a pill in front of that great figure and the famous doctor. This pill was specifically for dispelling gu poison. After the great figure took it, in just three days, the gu poison in his body was completely cleared, and from the sores on his body, many worms crawled out, which were the root of the problem, visible to the naked eye. One pill, bringing the dead back to life. After the great figure woke up, upon learning of this, he promised Ye Fei's master that he would fulfill three wishes for him, no matter how difficult, he would do his utmost, even if it meant climbing mountains of swords and plunging into seas of fire. But at that time, Ye Fei's master wasn't interested in any of these and just treated the promise as a fart. On the contrary, the famous doctor who sent over the great figure had some talent, and was taken in by Ye Fei's master, who taught him a couple of lost medical arts, including some pill-making techniques. At that time, Ye Fei's master didn't think much of it, although this person had some talent, compared to Ye Fei, he was far inferior, so the things taught were just some basic excellent medical skills. But what his master didn't expect was that because of this hasty unintentional act, after the famous doctor obtained these lost medical arts, relying on his own abilities plus the great figure's strong support, his fame spread rapidly. Not only did he become the most prominent "divine doctor" relying on his accumulated reputation over the years, but he also made a name for those so-called pill-making methods. Ye Fei looked at the old man in surprise and asked, "Old man, is your name Jie Huaiyan?" "Yes, I am Jie Huaiyan." The white-haired old man, upon hearing Ye Fei's question, had a look of relief in his eyes, quickly nodded to confirm the title, and said, "Back then, the Daoist saw that I had some talent and kindly taught me many medical arts. Before I could repay the favor, he passed away!" "Now that I want to repay the favor, it's like heaven and earth are separated..." "Sigh sigh sigh!" Upon hearing this, Ye Fei waved his hand to interrupt, smiling, "Old Mister Jie, don't worry, my master did mention you to me. He said that if you can carry forward the medical arts he taught you, it proves that his choice back then was correct, so repaying the favor isn't necessary." "Being able to achieve fame with these medical arts is already a good deed in my master's eyes." "You don't need to worry about this anymore." "Why not, while you still have some years left to live, think about other things?" Beside them, the girl, upon hearing this, frowned and couldn't help but retort at Ye Fei, "Do you even know how to speak!" "No harm." Jie Huaiyan kept shaking his head, and in Ye Fei's eyes, there was a trace of hope, as if something had been put down, and he sighed with a smile, "Young friend speaks truly. I did feel troubled, but the medical arts the Daoist entrusted to me have benefited me immensely. I have always wanted an opportunity to repay the favor. Now meeting you has settled one wish." "In the future, if young friend encounters any trouble, come to me. I, Jie Huaiyan, still have some reputation and status in this Jiangnan Province." "No need." Ye Fei shook his head and refused, "This is your connection with my master. If I accept this so-called favor on behalf of my master, isn't that overstepping? No need." "My master often says that in this world, every action has its reward, except for healing the sick and saving people, which requires no return." "Physicians with benevolent hearts are truly knights in this chaotic world." "Saving people, why bother for profit?" "Also, my name is Ye Fei." Upon hearing this, Ye Fei's eyes showed obvious appreciation, and he nodded repeatedly, "Young friend is right. What a way to treat illnesses and save people, truly chivalrous. Good good, today you've given this old man another lesson!" "Enough, that's all." Ye Fei smiled and waved, saying, "Trouble you to help me get the medicine. I hope you won't leak this prescription, since you could recognize it, it means my master taught this pill formula to you?" "Yes." "Young friend, rest assured." "This Qunmai Pill, I have never made it, only knew its medicinal properties." Jie Huaiyan didn't hesitate, turned around and skillfully prepared the medicine, packed it, and handed it to Ye Fei.
