Chapter 40: Selling Dan

  Qin Di deliberately disguised himself to avoid being perceived as young and unreliable. He spent money on a suit, making himself look more mature. Wearing a Zhongshan suit, leather shoes, and glasses, he arrived at the flower and bird market in Changning District. After paying the temporary entry fee, Qin Di set up a small stall like other vendors, placing his medical box on the ground, taking out an acupuncture needle, a bottle of "Gone Disease Dan", a bottle of "Ben Shen Dan", and finally, he didn't forget to take out an advertisement board - a large white paper with eight bold brush-written characters.

  The flat pecker revives; the skilled hand returns to Qin.

  As soon as the advertisement was put up, it caused a sensation and immediately attracted many people to gather around. Even the old fortune teller on Qin Di's left side came over to take a look, then stiffly turned his head back to gaze at his own sign, which read "Know the Easy Classics, Understand Divination, Calculate One's Future, Avoid Calamity and Good Fortune, Name Testing, Birth Date Eight Characters". The old man suddenly felt that he had been living in ignorance for decades, and with a face full of shame, he slunk away.

  Qin Di looked at his stall and saw that it was surrounded by over a dozen people. He was so excited that he immediately stood up, opened his mouth to give a brief introduction, but before he could say anything, a middle-aged man gave him a cold stare and said calmly: "What a psycho! When did the flat peaches come back to life? Such a big thing and I didn't even know about it? Young man, you don't have to be so low-class when making a living, do you? Don't you have any professional ethics or bottom line? Just looking at you makes me think you're a scammer with no skills or substance! Not worth watching! Let's go! Let's go!"

  As soon as this was said, Qin Di's face stiffened, and he saw that the people standing in front of his stall had all walked away within a few seconds.

  "It's really easy to talk big when standing!" Qin Di looked at the uncle who had ruined his business and scolded him as a cheat, with a face that wanted to cry but couldn't, yet he wasn't angry in his heart. He knew his own skills well. "Ji Di Dan" and "Ben Shen Dan", which one wasn't a good dan for saving people's lives? But they could only be sold to those who recognized their value, because only those who truly recognized the value of the medicine could see the subtle spiritual energy on it. As for those who didn't recognize its value, they would naturally mock and scorn him, and Qin Di didn't want to argue with them either.

  "Huh? There are still people selling elixirs nowadays, what's going on here? Hey boss, how much is this elixir?" a fashionably dressed young man asked with a skeptical expression.

  "'Goji Dan' is 33,000 per pill, 'Benshen Dan' is 66,000 per pill. For a consultation, it's 10,000 per visit. After examining the patient, there will be an additional fee...".

  "It turned out to be a real neurosis......" Qin Di's words were not finished, and the young man seemed to be frightened, and he got up and left with a sentence.

  Qin Di hadn't even had time to say that if he needed to take personal action to cure the illness, the patient's family would have to pay with three years of their lifespan, when he was scolded and called a madman. Qin Di wasn't pleased in his heart either. How come there were so few people in this world who could recognize true talent? However, he still didn't get angry, holding onto the idea that if you don't open your doors to business, then it's fine, but once you do, you have to be prepared to take half a year's worth of losses. Qin Di was like Jiang Taigong fishing for fish, willing to wait patiently for a bite.

  What made Qin Di extremely disappointed was that after an entire morning, many people came to ask questions, but most of them were just making small talk and watching the commotion. Qin Di felt somewhat disheartened and decided to come back tomorrow, preparing to pack up his things and leave. Suddenly, a surprised voice reached his ears: "Hey, isn't this Dr. Qin? I didn't expect to run into you here, it seems we really are fated!"

  Qin Di was feeling depressed, when he suddenly heard a somewhat familiar voice. He lifted his head and glanced over, to find that there were more people at his stall. Two of them were acquaintances, while the other two men were unfamiliar to him. Behind this group of people, there were also two women.

  A twenty-year-old, wearing a white cotton casual suit, with a height of at least 1.7 meters, full chest, slender figure, stunning beauty, and long black hair scattered on her shoulders, is a rare beauty.

  Another woman looked heroic and didn't say a word, apparently she was her bodyguard or something.

  Among this group of people, two people Qin Di knew were Li Xiangxi, a famous doctor in the capital, and Zhang Jinhua, the president of the First People's Hospital.

  "Dr. Qin, it's been a while since we last met, I've thought about you often." Li Xiangxi was very excited, on that day when Qin Di's incredible acupuncture skills cured Old Lady Ji's illness, he was shocked and didn't come back to his senses until later, wanting to discuss medical techniques with this divine doctor. But by the time he did, Qin Di had already left quickly and neatly. Li Xiangxi tried several times to ask the Ji family about Qin Di's whereabouts, but felt ashamed that he hadn't contributed at all to Old Lady Ji's recovery, so he didn't dare bother the Ji family, thinking he had missed his chance with this divine doctor, never expecting to run into him here today.

  He was naturally excited, and he rushed up to grab Qin Di's hand, afraid that Qin Di would fly away suddenly, making it seem like they had a special relationship.

  "Li, you don't have to get so excited and grab my hand right away, I'm a guy, the beauty is behind you!" Qin Di said with a bad tone, looking gloomy.

  Li Xiangxi didn't feel embarrassed at all and smiled: "I'm just afraid that Dr. Qin will disappear again like last time, as soon as he turns around."

  "That's because I'm not familiar with you!" Qin Di sneered, he remembered the grudge, didn't forget how Li Xiangxi had made things difficult for him in the hospital, naturally wouldn't give Li a good face, put on airs, and pretended to be busy, as if to say "scram, I don't have time to socialize with you".

  Li Xiangxi's facial muscles twitched twice, and he dryly laughed twice before quickly changing the subject: "Doctor Qin, what brings you here? Could it be that Doctor Qin also enjoys collecting penjing and wood carvings? It seems we're kindred spirits. Why don't we find a place to eat and discuss this further?"

  "Yes! Yes! Director Li is absolutely right, I remember there's a restaurant up ahead that serves great Sichuan cuisine. Today, I'll be the host and invite Dr. Qin to join us for a meal. On one hand, it's to express my apology to Dr. Qin, and on the other hand, as fellow doctors, we can discuss some academic issues related to medical techniques... no, not discuss, but rather, we seek guidance from Dr. Qin on medical techniques."

  Zhang Jin Hua looked at Qin Di with a gaze that was like looking at a Bodhisattva of great compassion, walking up to him while trying his best to appear humble and flattering. Because recently, he had encountered a huge problem - he heard from an upper-level friend that the Ji family seemed to be really planning to make a move on his position as hospital director, with all the materials already collected, just waiting for the right moment to take action.

  As soon as he heard the news, Director Zhang was so frightened that these few days felt like years, and in just a few days, he had aged several years, with handfuls of hair falling out.

  Zhang Jinhua followed Li Xiangxi out today, hoping that this famous doctor in the capital could speak well of him in front of the Ji family. After all, as the director of the hospital for these years, Zhang Jinhua had indeed accumulated a considerable fortune. With the country's means, it was impossible not to find out about these unclear assets that were enough for him to eat prison food for a lifetime.

  Li Xiangxi had his own views on Zhang Jinhua, and facing the Ji family, he was not arrogant enough to think that the Ji family would give him this face, so he immediately refused!

  Zhang Jinhua didn't give up and followed him all the way, and what happened next was right before his eyes.

  Zhang Jinhua was naturally excited, wanting to hug Qin Di's thigh, because he knew the weight of this young man in Ji's family, as long as he nodded, to help him ask for a favor from Ji's family, believing that Ji's family would not be able to give him face out of gratitude for curing Ji Lao's illness.

  For Zhang Jinhua, this was like a sudden turn of events, the Bodhisattva of human life was right in front of him, so he had to be extremely enthusiastic: "Doctor Qin, please give me some face and go have a meal."

  "Eating, no time, I'm busy." Qin Di was equally unimpressed with Zhang Jinhua and said in a very arrogant tone: "Besides, do I need to give you face? You, move aside a bit, don't block me from doing business!"

  Zhang Jinhua's face twitched, and he was filled with embarrassment and shame.

  "What business is Dr. Qin doing?" Li Xiangxi turned his head to take a look at Qin Di's stall, and then he was stunned.

  It wasn't until now that Qin Di was squatting in the corner of this small stall, it turned out to be practicing medicine! However, he immediately muttered to himself, with your superb medical skills, do you need to make a living like those quack doctors?

  "Is this how you practice medicine, Dr. Qin?!" Li Xiangxi forced a calm expression onto his face.

  "No, I'm selling dan." Qin Di shook his head and said,

  "Want to sell?" Li Xiangxi felt his brain was a bit inadequate.
