Chapter 3922: Divine Doctor Gong Daolin
Seeing that there were still seven or eight doctors in front of Ye Bufan, Jing Buyun frowned slightly.
“Brother Ye, I’ll go find President Lan now. We don’t need to wait.”
“No need, and we won’t have to wait too long.”
Ye Bufan reached out and pulled him back, “They have their own rules. We arrived late, so waiting for a while is only right.”
Jing Buyun whispered, “But if Young Miss Lan Qi'er’s illness is cured by someone else, then Brother Ye will have come for nothing.”
On one hand, he was concerned about Lan Qi'er’s illness, and on the other hand, he was thinking about Ye Bufan’s matter, knowing that he needed the two million award, which was why he said that.
Ye Bufan smiled slightly, “Brother Jing, how long has Young Miss Lan Qi'er been ill?”
Jing Buyun said, “About a month.”
“There you have it. In a month’s time, judging by today’s scale, there have been at least eight hundred, if not a thousand, doctors who have seen her.
Since so many people have seen her, it only means that this illness is not easy to cure, otherwise the bounty wouldn’t have been increased again and again, so we don’t mind waiting a little longer.”
“Brother Ye is right, I was too anxious.”
Seeing Ye Bufan so confident, Jing Buyun said nothing more and led everyone to sit down nearby.
Everyone sat there quietly watching as the doctors in front proceeded methodically, one by one entering the small building in the courtyard to treat Lan Qi'er.
The result was always the same: each one entered excitedly, then walked out dejectedly, and the next doctor repeated the process.
The small building had a protective Formation. If he were to forcibly Breakthrough with his Divine Sense, Ye Bufan could easily enter.
However, he did not do so. Firstly, it would be very impolite, and there was no immediate rush. Secondly, there was a feeling of extreme oppression within the small building that made him extremely wary.
Although the other party did not release his pressure, he could still feel it; that might was simply too strong.
Immortal Emperor! It must be an Immortal Emperor Rank existence!
Taking a deep breath, Ye Bufan calmed the shock in his heart, his expression still appearing undisturbed.
Now, his strength allowed him to disregard any Immortal Venerable. The only type of strong practitioner that could bring such a great sense of oppression was an Immortal Emperor.
Moreover, Jing Buyun had mentioned before that the reason the Four Great Chambers of Commerce could stand firm in Lieyuan City was precisely because they all had Immortal Emperor Rank strong practitioners guarding them.
This was the Lan Tian Chamber of Commerce, and it was in Lan Qi'er’s small building, so the identity of the other party was easy to guess; it should be the President, Lan Yuqing.
After the initial shock, he slowly calmed his mind. Although his Divine Sense could not forcibly enter, he could still glimpse a thing or two whenever a doctor entered or exited.
Inside the room, there was a large bed, and on it lay a dark figure—yes, just a figure, because the entire person was completely enveloped by Devilish Qi.
A Middle-aged Man sat at the head of the bed, looking refined, but at this moment, his brows were tightly furrowed, and his face was full of worry.
This man was none other than Lan Yuqing, the President of the Lan Tian Chamber of Commerce and a strong practitioner at the Early Stage of Immortal Emperor.
He had only one daughter all these years, so Lan Qi'er’s illness made him constantly worried.
Looking at his daughter on the bed, his heart was filled with anxiety. Perhaps because of this, he did not notice Ye Bufan’s prying.
After four or five doctors had finished their diagnoses, Ye Bufan had a fairly good grasp of Lan Qi'er’s condition and a general idea in his mind.
As time passed, the doctors in front declared their failures one after another, and the next one was his turn.
Ye Bufan stood up, just about to enter, when a loud voice came from outside the mansion gate.
“Divine Doctor Gong has arrived!”
Originally, the entire small courtyard, even the entire mansion, was extremely quiet. This voice sounded extremely abrupt, instantly spreading to every corner, and finally, the entire Lan Manor boiled over.
The sudden commotion in the mansion made Lan Yuqing, who had been sitting worriedly at the head of the bed, spring to his feet and stride out.
The butler followed closely behind, shouting loudly to the surrounding people as he walked.
“Put down what you’re doing, everyone, and let’s go greet Divine Doctor Gong!”
At this, hundreds of people, big and small, from the Lan family followed behind Lan Yuqing, rushing towards the main entrance with the utmost solemnity.
Even Jing Buyun, who was sitting nearby, became nervous and grabbed Ye Bufan’s arm, “Brother Ye, your two million might be gone.”
Ye Bufan asked, “What do you mean? Is this Divine Doctor Gong very famous?”
“Extremely famous. He is one of the most renowned Divine Doctors in the Upper Heaven Domain.”
Jing Buyun said, “Lieyuan City is unique here, but it’s nothing in Supreme Saint Heaven.
Moreover, Gong Daolin is extremely arrogant, and ordinary people cannot invite him. It seems the Lan Tian Chamber of Commerce has spared no expense this time, paying a huge price.”
“Oh!”
Ye Bufan nodded, “You mean Gong Daolin can definitely cure Lan Qi'er’s illness?”
Jing Buyun said, “I can’t be too sure, but Divine Doctor Gong’s reputation is indeed immense. Rumor has it that for common ailments, his medicine is instantly effective.”
Ye Bufan smiled slightly, “Let’s see. There are always exceptions.”
As the two were talking, the main gate opened, and a large group of people walked in, surrounded by others.
At the head was an old man with white hair and beard, wearing a black robe, with a ruddy complexion and a slightly upturned chin, his face full of arrogance.
As an Immortal Emperor Rank strong practitioner, Lan Yuqing was now carefully accompanying him, his face wreathed in smiles.
“Divine Doctor Gong, I entrust my daughter’s illness to you this time.”
“I don’t like to waste words. Let’s be straightforward. As previously agreed, the cost for me to travel all this way to your place and perform the treatment is twenty million High Grade Immortal Crystals.
If she can be cured, then it will be fifty million.”
Ye Bufan raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. This fellow was truly making an exorbitant demand.
The implication was that even if he couldn’t cure her, he would still take twenty million, and if he did cure her, the price would become fifty million.
However, no one else showed any unusual expression; they all felt that Divine Doctor Gong was justified in asking for that price.
Lan Yuqing showed no dissatisfaction whatsoever, “Divine Doctor Gong, rest assured. This is what we agreed upon before. As long as you take action, I will certainly present the Immortal Crystals with both hands.”
Gong Daolin nodded, “That’s the idea. Where is the patient? My time is very precious.”
“She’s in the room up ahead.”
Lan Yuqing waved his hand, and all the other followers retreated. Only he and the butler led the way, taking Gong Daolin into the room.
The doctors in the courtyard did not leave. Both those who had tried and those who hadn’t wanted to witness Divine Doctor Gong’s demeanor and understand what this illness truly was.
Compared to before, the courtyard was even quieter. No one dared to make a sound, fearing they might disturb the Divine Doctor’s diagnosis.
Time passed by second by second, and everyone waited quietly.
About fifteen minutes later, the door opened, and Gong Daolin walked out.
His expression showed little change compared to before, but the faces of Lan Yuqing and the butler, who followed behind him, were extremely grim.
Gong Daolin waved his hand indifferently, “Alright, I’ve made myself very clear. Prepare for the funeral.
This illness is incurable. She has at most three days left to live!”
