Supreme Hidden Dragon in the City-Chapter 20 Unconditionally Agree to One Request

The next afternoon.

Chen Fan finished his cultivation practice, quickly tidied up, and left Golden Lake Villa to head for the city’s most renowned Hanging Pot Medical Hall.

"I hope Doctor Yang really has the Spiritual Medicine I need," Chen Fan said, touching his pocket with a slightly embarrassed expression as he traveled, "I just don’t know if Doctor Yang would accept an exchange of my Nine Revolutions Resurrection Needle for his Spiritual Medicine. If not, then I’ll have to figure out a way to make some money first."

Before long, Chen Fan arrived at the majestic and quaint medical hall in the city center, its ancient signboard bearing the words "Hanging Pot Benefits the World."

"They say Doctor Yang, aside from treating patients, also has partnerships with major pharmaceutical companies and acts as a distributor for many medicines. He must be very wealthy. If I could reach his level, I wouldn’t have to worry about money," he mused quietly to himself as he entered the medical hall filled with patients waiting in line, even busier than the city’s best hospital.

He approached an apprentice, gave his name, and after stating his purpose, the apprentice immediately led Chen Fan with great enthusiasm through the hall to the inner courtyard of the medical hall.

"Mr. Chen, the master is waiting for you inside," the apprentice said respectfully. "I have other things to tend to, so I won’t accompany you in."

Chen Fan nodded and walked alone toward the grand hall inside.

At that moment, Yang Wanli was sitting on a Taishi Chair in the inner courtyard’s grand hall, with a twenty-three or twenty-four-year-old girl by his side, slim and stylishly dressed.

"Grandfather, this Youth-Preserving Pill is truly miraculous. After taking it, it can make one look ten years younger. If we could secure the distribution rights for this pill, it would certainly reverse the medical hall’s predicament," the girl said excitedly, holding her phone as she spoke to Yang Wanli.

Yang Wanli looked at her indulgently. "I think you want to try the Youth-Preserving Pill and that’s why you’re urging me to get the distribution rights," he teased.

The girl’s face turned red as she lifted her head proudly. "Who would want that? You are slandering me. I, Yang Tianzhen, am a beauty that could topple cities. Even without such a pill, there’ll still be a long line of suitors. I am thinking about the future of the medical hall."

Yang Wanli let out a hearty laugh, but a trace of helplessness appeared in his eyes. "Qingyan Pharmaceuticals is owned by the Su Family. The effects of the Youth-Preserving Pill are so frighteningly effective that countless large companies are vying for the distribution rights. The bidding has reached astronomical numbers. Even if we could get the rights, I’m afraid we couldn’t afford the fee. The medical hall can’t withstand such turmoil now."

Yang Tianzhen looked worried and let out a sigh.

Just then, Chen Fan walked into the grand hall, bowed his hands in greeting, and said, "Doctor Yang, I hope I haven’t kept you waiting."

Yang Wanli quickly stood up to greet him. "Where are such words necessary, Brother Chen? I’m more than happy that you’re visiting my medical hall."

Then he turned to Yang Tianzhen, "Tianzhen, Brother Chen has something to discuss with me. Please leave us for now."

"Oh," Yang Tianzhen said curiously as she looked Chen Fan up and down and then walked outside.

"Grandfather has never been so polite to anyone before. How strange." When she reached the entrance of the hall, Yang Tianzhen became even more curious. She then quietly turned around and stealthily peeked through the doorway.

Yang Wanli took two brocaded boxes from a cabinet, placed them on the table, and opened them. "Brother Chen, these two ginseng roots are part of my personal collection, both over a hundred years old. I don’t know if they meet your requirements."

Chen Fan quickly walked over and looked at the ginseng roots, and his eyes brightened as he felt the abundant Spiritual Energy. "Doctor Yang, these are exactly the medicinal materials I urgently need!"

He picked up one of the ginseng roots and carefully examined it, murmuring to himself, "With such quality, these could probably even be used to refine Cultivation Pills."

Then he looked at Yang Wanli, "Doctor Yang, what price do you have in mind for these two ginseng roots?"

Yang Wanli chuckled, stroking his beard. "Talking about money would be discourteous. Since Brother Chen needs them, I’ll give these two ginseng roots to you as a gift," he offered generously.

Feeling a bit embarrassed, Chen Fan scratched his head. "How could I accept that? Perhaps instead, I could teach you the Nine Revolutions Resurrection Needle method?"

Yang Wanli quickly waved his hands, "No, no, the Nine Revolutions Resurrection Needle is a skill of Immortal Medical Skills, and cannot be compared to two ginseng roots. I’m already very pleased that Chen has this intention; consider these two ginseng roots as the foundation of a good relationship between us. If in the future, I have any doubts about medical skills, and Chen is able to help me resolve them, I will be satisfied."

Chen Fan looked at Yang Wanli with gratitude, "Doctor Yang, you are truly a good person. I will definitely remember this favor in my heart."

The two then discussed medical questions. Chen Fan shared everything he knew, helping to resolve many of Yang Wanli’s doubts, and then left Hanging Pot Medical Hall.

He had not gone far when a graceful figure blocked his path.

"I originally thought you were someone impressive, but to think you’re just like those swindlers, only knowing how to cheat my grandfather," Yang Tianzhen said indignantly.

Chen Fan frowned and glanced at Yang Tianzhen, "Miss, what do you mean by that?"

Fuming, Yang Tianzhen said, "My grandfather was tricked before into representing an unscrupulous medicine, which caused him to incur a huge debt. The medical hall was almost unable to continue operating. Now that he is in difficult straits, you still come to cheat him of his century-old ginseng. You swindlers really have no shame!"

Chen Fan’s expression changed, "Is Doctor Yang’s situation really so difficult? I thought he..."

"Hmph, my grandfather is just too kind-hearted, which is why he gets hoodwinked by you heartless people," Yang Tianzhen glared angrily at Chen Fan, "Return those two ginseng roots!"

Chen Fan looked at the brocade box in his hand, paused for a moment in thought, "Miss, these two ginseng roots are extremely important to me. I had no idea Doctor Yang was in such dire straits. Could you tell me if there’s any way to change Doctor Yang’s current situation? Maybe I can help."

Yang Tianzhen gave Chen Fan a disdainful look, "You think you can?"

Chen Fan was earnest, "Please tell me first."

Yang Tianzhen pursed her lips, "Well then, there happens to be an opportunity right now to help grandfather out of his predicament. If you can get him the rights to represent the Youth-Preserving Pill from Qingyan Pharmaceuticals for free, then these two ginseng roots are yours. Can you do it?"

Chen Fan was startled, "The Youth-Preserving Pill is already seeking external agents? Miss Su is moving quite fast."

He then nodded solemnly to Yang Tianzhen, "Alright, I promise you."

Yang Tianzhen’s eyes widened, "Hey, did you listen carefully to what I said? I’m talking about the Youth-Preserving Pill from Qingyan Pharmaceuticals, the medicine that has been causing a stir in the medical community these past few days. That medicine’s representation rights, even many publicly listed companies aren’t qualified to get!"

Chen Fan smiled, "Miss, rest assured. Since I’ve promised you, I will definitely find a way to do it."

Then he handed the brocade box to Yang Tianzhen, "Please keep these two ginseng roots for me for now. Once I’ve fulfilled my promise, you can give them back to me."

Seeing how straightforward Chen Fan was, Yang Tianzhen couldn’t quite believe it.

But afraid that Chen Fan would change his mind, she quickly took the brocade box.

"The ginseng was a gift from grandfather, and it’s not quite right for me to ask for it back. However, I must do this. But if you really keep your promise, I won’t let you be at a loss. When the time comes, I can agree to a request from you unconditionally and will not go back on my word!"

After saying that, she turned and ran off.

Chen Fan smiled helplessly, "I thought I could refine the Cultivation Pill today to try for a breakthrough, but it looks like I’ll have to wait."

Just then Chen Fan’s phone rang; it was Su Qingyan calling.

"Where did you go? Why are you not at home again?"
