Chapter 58: Chapter 58: 300-years-old Ginseng Chapter 58: Chapter 58: 300-years-old Ginseng Several minutes later, Lin Dong finished his first acupuncture session with Qiao Bing.
Although it couldn’t completely cure her, Qiao Bing clearly felt the effects after the acupuncture was done.
If it were before, being so close to Lin Dong would definitely have caused her liver pain.
But now it didn’t.
Qiao Bing even took the initiative to touch Lin Dong’s arm.
“Ouch…” It still hurt, but not as much as before.
“Lin Dong, it really works!” Qiao Bing exclaimed in surprise, “Does this mean that after a few more treatments, I’ll be cured?”
Lin Dong shook his head, “It can’t be completely cured, however, after a few more treatments. If you only have mild contact with men in the future, the liver pain can be minimized.”
“That’s enough for me.” Qiao Bing was overjoyed and admired, “Lin Dong, your medical arts are too amazing.”
She was even happier at the thought of Lin Dong becoming her colleague in the future.
The two of them working together would certainly bring glory to the department and benefit the community.
At this time, Li Qingcheng came in and asked about the situation.
Hearing that the treatment was effective, she was both surprised and delighted.
It seemed they had found the right person.
“Young Miracle Doctor, it looks like you’re going to be wrapped up by Nosy Granny Zhang,” Li Qingcheng joked.
Lin Dong’s face turned red, saying, “Sister Qincheng, don’t make jokes like that.”
“Giggles, don’t worry, I won’t let her have you.” Li Qingcheng blinked, “because you belong to all of us…”
Lin Dong was speechless; he thought Li Qingcheng was going to say she would have him.
The three of them then shared a meal together. Since Qiao Bing had to return to work in the afternoon, she left first.
As for Lin Dong, he was off today, so he didn’t need to go to work.
He planned to go find Sister Hong.
He had something to entrust to her.
Soon, he arrived at the ‘Emperor Clubhouse’.
By now, Sister Hong had finished handling Lin Hu’s funeral, and she had more or less inherited Lin Hu’s legacy.
After his arrival, Sister Hong didn’t show anything in front of others.
She merely said warmly, “Divine Doctor Lin, you’re here. Everyone, this man has made great contributions to our Tiger Master. If it weren’t for his intervention, that maniac Lin Bao would have succeeded.”
Everyone thanked Lin Dong profusely.
Brother Snake was there too, and of course, he needed no introduction.
Apart from Brother Snake, there were two other powerful figures, one of whom had a scar on his face and was known as Brother Ba.
Besides him, there was another dark-skinned man, whom everyone called Brother Hei.
Brother Hei had a bad temper, and at the moment, he couldn’t help but say, “That beast Lin Bao, no one knows where he has run off to. If I catch him, I’ll make sure he has no place to die!”
“Yes, Tiger Master treated him well in life, and he was also his own brother, to actually lay hands on his own brother. He’s worse than a beast!” Brother Ba also nodded in agreement.
Sister Hong was embarrassed, thinking that Lin Bao’s ashes had probably been scattered by the boisterous wind.
Although she thought this way inside, her face showed no change as she said, “He might have fled overseas.”
“Even if he escapes to the ends of the earth, I’ll catch him,” Brother Hei swore.
The group was very angry and hostile towards Lin Bao.
In their eyes, what ultimately mattered in their line of work was loyalty.
But Lin Bao even harmed his own brother, making him the type of person they despised the most.
Speaking of Lin Bao, they clenched their teeth, immediately saying they would go search for Lin Bao’s whereabouts.
After speaking, the group left in a huff.
Once they had left, Sister Hong took Lin Dong to a private room.
At the moment, only the two of them were in the room.
Sister Hong immediately knelt down, “Divine Doctor Lin, I couldn’t greet you properly earlier because of my subordinates, please forgive me.”
Lin Dong waved his hand, “I’ve come here today because I have something to ask you.”
“What is it?” Sister Hong asked hurriedly.
“Sister Hong, I want to ask if you know of anyone in Jianghai who has herbs that are more than a hundred years old,” Lin Dong inquired.
Sister Hong’s eyes lit up and she said, “Divine Doctor Lin, you’ve hit the nail on the head there.”
“Lin Hu loved collecting these things in his life. He was not good in that aspect, so he thought eating these great tonic items would help him.”
“He even collected a 300-year-old ginseng, which he was always too reluctant to consume.”
Hearing this, Lin Dong was thrilled and immediately asked, “Where is that 300-year-old ginseng of his?”
“It’s in his collection room. Divine Doctor Lin, please wait a moment while I go and fetch it for you,” Sister Hong said.
After saying this, she stepped out of the private room to go to Lin Hu’s collection room.
Soon, she returned from Lin Hu’s collection room with an exquisitely packaged yellow sandalwood box.
Opening the sandalwood box, a ginseng quietly lay inside.
The ginseng was large, weighing about half a pound or so.
It was aged, well over three hundred years.
Even Lin Dong, who had previously lived in the mountains, rarely saw such a large and ancient ginseng.
“Divine Doctor Lin, please take this ginseng,” Sister Hong said.
Lin Dong didn’t stand on ceremony and accepted the ginseng, planning to consume it after returning.
He wondered how much his Nine Shift Longevity secret would advance after taking this 300-year-old ginseng.
