Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor-Chapter 84: Six Million

Fang Bai shook his head and smiled as he said, "Do you think I will ever lack money with my medical skills?"

Hua Lie sighed, "If you open a clinic for traditional Chinese medicine, with your skills, the business is bound to be good."

Fang Bai shrugged and replied, "That’s why, no matter how high a salary you offer me, it won’t sway me."

Hua Lie said earnestly, "Young man, we are very sincere. Can’t we discuss this further?"

"No, we can’t."

Fang Bai flatly refused.

Joking aside, I, as the reincarnated Immortal Emperor, how could I possibly cling to this small "Rejuvenation Hall" shop?

"That’s really too bad."

Hua Lie was unable to hide the disappointment on his face as he walked back to Hua Chun and Hua Gang.

"He didn’t agree?"

Seeing Hua Lie’s expression, Hua Chun already knew the outcome.

"I told him that as long as he is willing to join our ’Rejuvenation Hall,’ he could name his price, but he still refused, and quite decisively at that!"

Hua Lie scratched his head, somewhat vexed, and then said, "He mentioned that the Fang Family is also a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, and they plan to open their own clinic where he’ll be his own boss."

Hua Chun and Hua Gang exchanged glances and said, "Him opening his own clinic... With his medical skills, it’s certain to rise quickly. This is not good news for us."

"Actually, I think this is not that bad," Hua Gang said. "Him opening his own clinic poses much less of a threat to us than if he joined another medical institution. It’s just hard to say whether he will become a powerfully competitive rival in the future."

"Let’s not worry about the future for now," said Hua Chun. After a pause for thought with his eyes closed, he slowly opened them and said, "It’s much better to make a friend than to make an adversary. As for this young man, let’s try our best to befriend him!"

As he spoke, he stood up and slowly walked over to Fang Bai, smiling as he said, "I’m sorry you don’t want to join ’Rejuvenation Hall.’ However, if I were in your shoes, perhaps I would have made the same decision."

Fang Bai replied appreciatively, "Thank you for your understanding, sir."

Hua Chun nodded, took out a cheque book, and quickly wrote a string of numbers before tearing it out and handing it to Fang Bai, saying, "Here’s ten million yuan, which you can cash at any major bank in Huaxia. Six million of it is what you won, the remaining four million... my disgraceful son has offended you, consider it as some compensation, and I hope you won’t take his actions to heart."

Without even looking, Fang Bai pushed the cheque back and chuckled, "What young man doesn’t act impulsively sometimes? The little clash between your son and me is nothing serious; I really haven’t taken it to heart! The six million I won is what I deserve, so I only want the six million."

Seeing Fang Bai’s seriousness, Hua Chun said no more. He tore up the ten million yuan cheque and wrote a new one for six million yuan, giving it to Fang Bai.

Fang Bai put away the cheque, nodded to Hua Chun, Hua Gang, and Hua Lie, said "goodbye," and turned to stride away.

Watching Fang Bai go, Hua Chun and the others had flickering glances and varied expressions.

Hua Yi hung his head low, too ashamed to look at anyone, feeling utterly humiliated inside.

After his father conceded defeat, he knew the trouble he had caused for the Hua Family and for "Rejuvenation Hall."

He originally thought his father would easily defeat Fang Bai, reclaim his face, and preserve the reputation of "Rejuvenation Hall," but instead, the result was that Fang Bai defeated his father and walked away with six million yuan.

The six million yuan was but a drizzle for Rejuvenation Hall, yet the negative impact it had on the establishment far outweighed the mere six million.

Today’s event could have been widely publicized by Fang Bai to make a name for himself, and Rejuvenation Hall had no way to refute it, only to swallow the bitter pill in silence.

Watching his father, uncle, and second uncle walk into the back hall with somber expressions, Hua Yi looked up to the sky and sighed deeply, feeling his life was shrouded in gloom.

...

Once a distance away from Rejuvenation Hall, Fang Bai took out the check and kissed it hard.

For Fang Bai at that time, six million was a huge sum, which could enable him to do a lot of things.

After cashing the check at a nearby bank, Fang Bai opened a new bank account, depositing one million of the six into the new account, and placed the remaining five million in his own account.

The newly opened bank account with one million was intended by Fang Bai for his mother, Yang Mei, to have once he returned home.

Fang Bai planned to intern at Yanjing Hospital in a few days, and once he left, he would have fewer opportunities to care for his family. Leaving one million at home would be enough for his parents and sister’s daily needs and allow his father to reopen the traditional medicine clinic.

The other five million, Fang Bai planned to carry with him and use it to buy jade stones containing Essence Energy for cultivation after arriving in Yanjing.

Fang Bai had realized that jade stones containing Essence Energy were of excellent quality and very expensive, hence five million was not a large amount.

In fact, with Fang Bai’s medical skills, interning at any hospital seemed redundant, but without doing so, he wouldn’t be able to obtain a diploma from the medical college, and without a diploma, he wouldn’t be able to treat patients legitimately in the future, which would be considered illegal practice.

Furthermore, Yanjing, being an ancient capital of several dynasties and a land where dragons thrived, was also a place Fang Bai was eager to visit.

In Fang Bai’s view, since Yanjing was known as the land where dragons thrived, there should be spiritual veins in the area.

And spiritual veins are indispensable for cultivators, meaning great opportunities for them.

Upon returning home and handing the bank card to his mother, Yang Mei, saying it contained the one million he had earned from treating patients, Yang Mei thought her son was joking.

Seeing his son speak earnestly and knowing of his son’s remarkable abilities, Fang Gang quickly took his wife to a nearby bank to check the balance.

When they saw the long string of numbers on the display screen, the couple was dumbfounded for quite some time before coming back to their senses. They then quickly retrieved the bank card, glaring left and right like guarding against thieves on their way back home.

Back at home, Yang Mei locked the front door tightly, her guarded expression only relaxing into one of excitement and exhilaration.

Yang Mei couldn’t help but be excited.

Before this, with her husband in a car accident and the traditional medicine clinic closed, the family had been relying on her meager income, struggling to the point where they couldn’t afford meat more than a few times a month.

Reflecting on those days filled Yang Mei with deep sorrow.

But ever since her son received teachings from a Master, their household changed drastically almost overnight.

Now, her husband could stand and walk again, thanks to her son’s treatment.

Her son, using the "skills" he learned, had caught several wanted criminals and earned hundreds of thousands in rewards.

Of course, Yang Mei was utterly reluctant to let her son engage in the dangerous act of capturing criminals.

She was most pleased to see her son using his medical skills to treat people and earn money.

Earning money this way carried no risks, and it was both peaceful and justifiable.
