For the next half a month, there was not a single customer at Chen Yi''s clinic.

    A new clinic has opened on this street. Aside from the neighbouring shopkeepers, no one else knew about this news.

    Until the twentieth day,

    A man with a bloodstained arm walked in, covering his arm:

    "Who is the physician?"

    A low, gruff voice echoed,

    Chen Yi looked up and saw a very robust man with a beard, who looked to be in his 40s. But with Chen Yi''s sensitivity towards the power of time due to the Turtle Mana, he concluded that the man is only in his early 30s.

    Hmm, a Qi Cultivation of the eighth layer and possibly a body refinement of the third level? Not bad.

    "I am the physician."

    "My shoulder was bitten by a first-tier late-stage Red Pill Snake, and the Detoxification Pill I took didn''t work.

    Can you treat it?"

    "Sit here and roll up your sleeve.

    Hiss, this snake venom is somewhat fierce.

    I need to detoxify you first, then apply medicine to the wound, change the dressing three times, and after taking a Healing Pill, you should be almost cured.

    As for the treatment cost, you''re Daoist Yuan who lives across the road, right?"

    Seeing him nod, Chen Yi continued:

    "It will cost you 64 spirit stones,

    You can pay with spirit stones, or with the spirit medicines listed here, using the medicines to offset the cost of the stones."

    Chen Yi pointed to a Spirit Medicine List hanging on the stand. He had adjusted the market price of the spirit medicines, making it subconsciously seemed more convenient to exchange medicines than to pay with spirit stones.

    The list includes most of the common spirit medicines, and naturally, some non-key spirit medicines required for Foundation Establishment are also included.

    This is Chen Yi''s strategy. He accumulates the non-key, non-controlled precious spirit medicines required for Foundation Establishment by running a shop.

    At first, the rugged man frowned in displeasure when he heard the treatment cost was as high as 64 spirit stones, but when he saw the price list, he calculated that if he paid in spirit medicines, he would only need about 50, which was acceptable considering the difficulty of curing this venom.

    "Your clinic is so shabby, and the consultation fee is so expensive!

    Well, if you can cure me, you won''t miss out on the fee.

    But if there are any sequelae, I can make your clinic unable to continue operating!"

    The gruff man spoke bluntly, showing he wasn''t very cunning,

    It would be more intimidating to ruin someone''s business quietly without any warning. Pre-announcing it seemed rather silly.

    Chen Yi just laughed and shook his head, wondering whether this man was genuinely this clueless or was it some other situation.

    He opened the clinic to gain some reputation. As a practitioner of the Turtle Breathing Technique, he should be considered a helpful person.

    "Don''t worry, since I''ve said it, I''m confident. I won''t charge you if I can''t cure you."

    The man looked dubious as he handed his arm to Chen Yi. He looked nervous and regretted his bad attitude just before. He wondered, would Doctor Chen intentionally cripple me in order to take revenge?

    No matter how fierce a patient is, once on the operation table, they have to listen to the doctor. Any previous toughness is akin to a paper tiger.

    As he was lost in thought, he suddenly felt a tingling in his shoulder, followed by a cool sensation. Then, a disgusting, dark, bloody liquid began to gush out.

    It wasn''t until about half a cup of black blood had been drained by Doctor Chen that his wound started to bleed red blood.

    At the same time, his arm...

    "Phew..."

    The burly man heaved a sigh of relief; his tense, pale face began to relax a bit.

    Unexpectedly, Doctor Chen, who seemed young, did have some abilities.

    However, just when he thought the bleeding could be stopped and the treatment ended,

    Chen Yi didn''t stop; he continued his magic.

    The man watched as his red fresh blood kept gushing out like a waterfall, and his complexion became unnaturally pale:

    "Um, Doctor Xiao Chen, aren''t we going to stop the bleeding? It''s all red blood now..."

    "Or would you prefer to treat it yourself?" Chen Yi glanced at him.

    "You treat it, you treat it. Ha, haha." The man watched his blood gushing out, and his face turned even paler. He chuckled dryly, unable to summon any fierceness anymore.

    Finally, after draining two more cups of blood, during the third cup,

    A black, smelly blood clot suddenly surged out and fell into the cup with a plop.

    Chen Yi wiped the sweat from his forehead and pretended to look exhausted.

    Then, he took out a prepared treatment salve and patted it onto the man''s wound.

    "Alright, come back for another treatment in three days. Eat more foods that nourish the vitality and blood these few days."

    "Oh, oh, alright, Doctor Chen."

    The burly man was convinced by now. After that black blood clot came out, he felt a tremendous relief in his whole arm.

    If he had to fight a Demon Beast again now, he could do it!

    Just after one treatment, his injury was already much better.

    Moreover, he was unaware that this snake venom was so cunning. If he were treating himself, he probably wouldn''t have drained those extra two cups of blood. In that case, this deeply embedded venomous blood clot would have remained in his body, becoming an incurable root of disease.

    In a few years, his arm would have been completely ruined.

    This Xiao Chen has indeed unique skills, as expected of him daring to open a clinic in this Market Town.

    When he left, the man''s attitude had changed significantly, especially when he heard he had to come back for bloodletting in three days, his heart pounded.

    He hoped that Chen Yi could completely cure the root of his disease in three days, and also wished that he would lose less blood.

    Even the toughest man couldn''t stand to watch his blood gush out like water...
