Secretary Ma suddenly fell ill, and the news alarmed the leaders. Mayor Long of Tianhai City, as well as some high-ranking city officials, rushed over.
"Did you call an ambulance?"
Mayor Long asked as he got out of the official car.
The secretary replied, "The on-site investors have already called an ambulance, but it hasnât arrived yet."
Mayor Long said, "Call and urge them to come quickly. Secretary Ma absolutely canât have any incidents."
The secretary said, "Okay, but... Iâve heard someone is already administering aid on site. It seems to be a young rural doctor."
Mayor Long responded, "A rural doctor? Could it be... the legendary Divine Doctor Lin?"
Recently, a legend has been circulating in Tianhai Cityâs political and business circles. It is said that in a small mountain village near Tianhai City, a divine doctor has appeared with remarkable medical skills. The father of Xishan Countyâs Party Secretary suddenly took ill while in a car and was saved by this Divine Doctor Lin. The mother of Xishan Countyâs governor suffered a stroke and almost died on the operating table, and was also saved by Divine Doctor Lin.
The father of Xishan Countyâs Party Secretary is actually Mayor Longâs father-in-law.
The first to hear of Divine Doctor Linâs name was Mayor Long, who heard it from his brother-in-law.
Could this Divine Doctor Lin have appeared at the Tianhai Cityâs Investment Bureau, treating Secretary Ma?
Mayor Long was immediately intrigued. He also wanted to see with his own eyes whether this Divine Doctor Lin was as incredible as the legends suggested.
"By the way, what kind of illness did Secretary Ma have to suddenly faint?" Mayor Long asked.
The secretary said, "Iâm not sure either. We have to wait for the doctor to diagnose it."
As they spoke, they had already arrived at the Investment Bureauâs hall. At this time, a large number of people had gathered in the hall, including investors and officials. Everyone appeared somewhat amazed, with all eyes focused on one spot.
Mayor Long followed the crowdâs gaze and was also taken aback.
In the hall, there was a brazier burning with fervent fire. In the fire, an oddly shaped herb was being incinerated.
Under the scorching process, the Profound Ice Grass gradually melted, transforming into a profound cyan liquid.
Lin Fan was cautiously controlling the heat on the side. Under the constant extraction, the profound cyan liquid gradually condensed, finally reducing to the size of an eyeball.
Mayor Long murmured, "What is going on, making medicine?"
Lin Fan was indeed making medicine, more accurately, extracting the medicinal properties of the Profound Ice Grass. The brazier had been borrowed from the Investment Bureauâs canteen. Although the conditions here were not as sophisticated as a medical laboratory, it was sufficient for Lin Fan.
Extracting the medicinal properties of the Profound Ice Grass is seemingly simple, just fire extraction, but it is also exceedingly complex. Not everyone can achieve it. Constant control of the fire is necessary to make the medicine. A small mistake could result in failure and waste the rare, valuable herb.
Lin Fan reached into the fire, quickly retrieving the eyeball-sized Profound Cyan Pill.
This extraction was now a great success.
"Secretary Ma, take it." Lin Fan said with a smile, handing over the Profound Cyan Pill to Secretary Ma.
"Thank you, Divine Doctor Lin." Secretary Ma was very pleased, taking the pill and intending to put it in his mouth.
"Wait!"
Mayor Long quickly stopped him.
Everyone looked at Mayor Long.
"Can this pill really cure the illness? Old Ma, in my opinion, to be cautious, letâs wait for the doctor to take a look. You canât just take medicine randomly," Mayor Long reminded.
It is true that Lin Fan had some legend about him, and his father-in-law, Shengfu Sword, was supposedly also saved by Lin Fan. But Mayor Long was still skeptical of such miraculous medical skills, especially since it was Secretary Ma involved; discretion was necessary.
Secretary Ma smiled, "In my situation, I have already seen many doctors, some of whom are as renowned as Ai Luoqing, yet none have helped. If it werenât for Divine Doctor Lin today, my life would be forfeit. Do you think I believe in Divine Doctor Lin? Other than Divine Doctor Lin, I donât believe in anyone else anymore. If not even Divine Doctor Lin can cure me, then it must be my fate!"
With that, Secretary Ma nonchalantly tossed the Profound Cyan Pill into his mouth.
Itâs quite amazing; as soon as this Profound Cyan Pill entered the mouth, it immediately dissolved, turning into a colorless, tasteless liquid that spread throughout Secretary Maâs body. There was no taste, but there was a chilling sensation, as if penetrating the bone marrow.
In an instant, the chill of the Profound Cyan Pill spread throughout Secretary Maâs body, causing him to tremble involuntarily.
"This isnât good!" Mayor Longâs expression changed, "Could it be that Old Ma is poisoned? Whereâs the ambulance, secretary, has the ambulance arrived yet?"
The secretary said, "I just made the call, itâs almost here."
Mayor Long urged, "Call again, get them here quickly. Old Ma might not hold on, I told you, you canât trust a country doctor!"
Mayor Long took off his coat and covered Secretary Ma, comforting him, "Old Ma, how do you feel? Donât worry, a doctor will be here soon."
Everyone exchanged glances.
Could it really be that Secretary Ma was poisoned this time? Otherwise, why would he start trembling all over and look so uncomfortable after taking the pill from Lin Fan?
They did see with their own eyes Lin Fan using the Yin Yang Eighteen Needles to revive the unconscious Secretary Ma, proving he indeed had some skill.
But that doesnât mean Lin Fan is really that great; maybe the medicine failed?
Soon, the sound of the ambulance sirens was heard outside.
Mayor Long hurried to greet them, and before long, he brought in the doctors and nurses.
"Doctor, please quickly check Old Maâs condition, Old Ma is very important to Tianhai City, you must save him!" Mayor Long said.
The doctor, who was pulled by Mayor Long, felt somewhat intimidated, but still promised, "Rest assured, Mayor, I will do my best."
Mayor Long said, "Iâm not saying that Old Ma isnât somewhat desperate, but professional doctors from the hospital are more reassuring. Look, after taking a pill from a foreign doctor, Old Ma just..."
As he spoke, they entered, and Mayor Longâs words suddenly got stuck.
Secretary Ma stood up from the ground, removed the coat that Mayor Long had draped over him, and handed it to the nearby secretary. Secretary Ma calmly straightened his clothes and appeared radiant, full of energy, looking like he could knock out several bulls.
"This..."
The doctor looked at Mayor Long curiously, as if to ask, wasnât Secretary Ma looking perfectly fine? Not at all like someone needing urgent medical attention. Why were they rushing over so frantically?
Mayor Long was also stunned, "Old Ma, you are..."
Secretary Ma smiled, "No need to trouble the doctor anymore. After taking Divine Doctor Linâs pill, I am completely fine. Iâve never felt so energized."
Mayor Long was astonished, "Youâre better? How is that possible? Werenât you just shivering?"
