Chapter 1994: Enter from the side door
The man was middle-aged and followed by four powerful cultivators. After seeing that the other party was the president of the Alchemist Guild, he answered. “I, the surnamed Gu, spent a lot of money and energy to buy it from others. Although not from the Hundred Rivers City, I heard that Ghost Doctor of the Heavenly Pill Tower has great medical skills. That’s why I came here to inquire.”
“I see.” President Fan nodded with understanding. When he saw Leng Hua come out, he couldn’t help asking, “Steward Leng, is your master willing to see me?”
“I’m really sorry, President Fan.” Leng Hua answered apologetically.
He was disappointed to hear this reply. “I understand. Since your mistress has a guest today, I’ll come again another day. I’m taking my leave first.” He cupped his fists, smiled at the middle-aged man, then left.
The middle-aged man’s eyes flickered to see this. He didn’t expect that Ghost Doctor Feng Jiu, the mistress of the Heavenly Pill Tower, wouldn’t even meet the Alchemist Guild president. It’s no surprise to him that without the medicine order, he might not be able to see Ghost Doctor.
Du Fan came out and made an inviting gesture with his hand towards the middle-aged man. “Please follow me. Your subordinates should wait here.”
The middle-aged man gave instruction to the subordinates behind him and then followed Du Fan to the rear courtyard. When he arrived there, he saw that there was only a woman in red selecting medicinal materials. Recalling the widely circulated description of Ghost Doctor Feng Jiu, he knew that the woman before him was Ghost Doctor Feng Jiu, the mistress of the Heavenly Pill Tower.
“I, the surnamed Gu, has seen Ghost Doctor.” He stepped forward and saluted with cupped fists. He didn’t despise her due to her being a woman and still young.
Feng Jiu looked up at the visitor. “Please have a seat.” She motioned to one side of the table, put the herbs on her hand aside, took the medicine order and sat down.
Du Fan asked someone to serve two cups of tea and then stood quietly on the side.
“What kind of medicine are you requesting?” She asked, fiddling with the prescription in her hand. She didn’t ask his origin or anything else but what kind of medicine he wanted.
His reply was respectful and sincere. “Ghost Doctor, I’m here today to request medicine for my son. He came back from outside a few months ago with wounds. He didn’t say anything and we also didn’t pay attention. Later on, his other injuries were healed, but a scald wound has never gotten better. No matter what medicine we used, the wound has been festering and is getting more severe until now. So, I’d like to request medicine that can heal my son. Please, Ghost Doctor, give us the medicine.”
After hearing his reply, Feng Jiu pondered. “It festered after the scald? For this kind of wound, the ointment for muscle regeneration and blood flow is effective. If it doesn’t, it’s not a simple scald. ”
She glanced at the upright middle-aged man in front of her and asked slowly, “Did your son come with you here?”
“Yes, but because his wound was festering and smelly, I told him to stay in the courtyard first and did not come to the Heavenly Pill Tower with me. ”
“This afternoon, then! Bring him here this afternoon. There’s a side door in the rear courtyard and you can enter from there.” She said, pointing to the side door behind her.
