"Oh, he just left, I'm taking a shift for someone else, it's for—" Before Ye Mo finished saying he was taking a shift for Zhou Yun, this nurse interrupted him.
"Then hurry up and give this elderly a check up! He feels pain everywhere and can't even talk anymore…" The nurse helped the elderly with a pale face to the bed and was ready to assist him in the procedures.
Ye Mo looked at the elderly laying on the bed. When he first arrived, he seemed to be barely able to walk, but now, he was already unconscious. His face was conspicuously changing into purple pink.
The girl on the side whimpered and said: "Doctor, please save my grandpa, it's my fault, I shouldn't have let him come to Ning Hai secretly…"
Ye Mo frowned. He took out a few silver needles from the case then pierced the old man a few times, and his Chi immediately flowed into the old man's body.
The old man exhaled a clotted breath as the purple color started to disappear from his face rapidly. In the blink of an eye, everything returned to normal. He opened his eyes and said: "Qing Er, don't worry, this has already been an old problem by now."
The nurse and Qing Er stared at Ye Mo in shock and couldn't get a hold of themselves for a long while. What medical skills were that? Saving an old man on the border of death with just a few needles?
Qing Er rushed right next to the old man's bedside: "Grandpa, you scared me, I won't ever dare to bring you out on my own accord again…" Before she even finished speaking, tears had already flowed out.
Ye Mo looked at this girl, she was clothed in expensive brands. She was a wealthy girl.
Then he looked more carefully at the girl who still had tears left on her face. She was breathtaking, and he could already imagine how much prettier she would be once she matured. It felt she was equally as pretty as the woman who bought Ye Mo's charms last time. Perhaps due to her worry, her face had a tinge of redness which further complimented her snow white skin and neck. This prompted Ye Mo to look further down. A deep valley complimented by the perfectly suited Donna Karan further provoked people's imaginations.
"Qing Er, I'm all right, help me sit up," the old man waved and said.
"You are quite the astounding doctor! I know about my ailment, and there has been no one who could help me wake up in such a short time..." before the old man had finished talking, the girl called Qing Er seemed to have thought of something.
She turned around and looked at Ye Mo in shock as she spoke: "Are you a Chinese Medicine Doctor? Do you use golden needles? Can you see what my grandpa's ailment is? We were lucky to have you beside us this time, I'm truly grateful."
However, this girl did not actually expect an answer, as she knew that her grandpa's condition had been examined by many other overseas and renowned specialists, but none of them could diagnose the exact illness. They just gave the old man a notice that he had half a year left to live based on the inexplicable rapid aging of his organs.
Ye Mo nodded and said, "I know what his ailment is."
In the cultivation realm, there was a mineral rock called purple coral. Purple coral was a type of mineral that could be used to make middle-grade magical artifacts; however, it wasn't commonly seen. But purple coral had a unique feature which after mining this rock, it had to be stored in a jade box or it would lose its powers. If someone left purple coral in their pocket, then in a day's time, the harmful substances in purple coral would seep into the body and the purple coral itself would become a useless piece of rock.
It was evident that this old man was poisoned by a purple coral.
If Ye Mo wasn't a cultivator, he could remove the poison slowly with herbs. Fortunately, Ye Mo was already at the first stage of Chi Gathering cultivator. He only needed to use Chi to remove it.
However, Ye Mo didn't expect Earth to have such a mineral.
"What? You said you know what my grandpa's ailment is? Doctor, can you cure him? As long as you can treat my grandpa, I will do anything you ask!" The girl called Qing Er finally reacted after some time, and when she spoke, her hands were even shaking.
The old man also had a face of almost disbelief.
Ye Mo smiled. In that case, he didn't need to hold himself back, since he needed money, it was also fair that he got some money.
Thinking about this, Ye Mo said to the nurse who still had her mouth wide open in shock: "You can leave for now as I need to have a talk with the patient and his family."
After the nurse had left, Ye Mo knocked the table and contemplated for a while before saying, "I can cure this disease. Do you want to cure the symptoms or cure the disease?"
"What would curing the symptoms or the disease involve? In the end, I still want to completely cure my grandpa," Qing Er immediately asked.
Ye Mo said: "With my current ability if we chose to cure the disease, I only have a 70% chance of success. The other 30% would be your grandpa dying early. But, if it's only curing the symptoms, then I have 100% success chance, and it would let your grandpa live healthily for another 3 years. No matter which treatment you choose, you must pay the treatment fees right now. The medicine belongs to me, I don't take loans."
"Huh, how could this be? Grandpa…" Qing Er apparently wasn't able to make the decision and looked at her grandpa with a troubled look. She hoped her grandpa could give her a good idea.
Hearing Ye Mo's words, there was a sliver of recognition flashing across the old man's eyes. Although he knew Ye Mo was capable, he still didn't quite believe that Ye Mo could completely cure him. Furthermore, this guy asked for money straight away without any medical morals.
In the medical field, 70% success was already quite significant. However, Ye Mo said he had 70% chance of curing him with ease. This moved the old man's confidence for Ye Mo. However, thinking about how he only had a few months to live if he didn't receive treatment, the only loss in agreeing to treatment was some money.
The old man said: "You say you don't have 100% chance of success now, then when would you have 100% chance to successfully treat me?"
