Volume 4: Transformation into Mystery Chapter 578 The City Lord invites you!
Because the reputation of Li Family Clinic and Li Xuanfeng had spread, all the people with difficult and complicated diseases in the entire Qingshan City had come to Li Family Clinic for treatment.
A man who lived in the north of the city traveled ten miles to the south of the city to see a doctor at Li's Clinic.
Not only that, Li Xuanfeng's fame has even spread beyond Qingshan City, and people have rushed from nearby cities to seek treatment.
Even Li Xuanfeng was quite surprised by this. He did not expect that his fame would spread beyond Qingshan City so quickly.
Moreover, everyone has heard that Doctor Li will not charge any diagnosis fees if he is unable to treat the disease, so people with difficult and complicated diseases do not have to worry about making a wasted trip and wasting money.
If Doctor Li can cure it, that would be the best, but even if he can't, there's no need to waste money.
It is precisely because of this that, although there have been many illnesses that Li Xuanfeng cannot cure, the residents of Qingshan City's respect for him has not diminished in the slightest, and is even growing.
In their opinion, doctors like Dr. Li are real doctors. They will only charge diagnosis fees for diseases that can be cured, and will not charge a penny for those that cannot be cured.
As the residential areas of the patients who came to see him increased, Li Xuanfeng saw a variety of diseases, including many that he could not treat.
Ninety-nine percent of the people suffering from common difficult and complicated diseases in Qingshan City have been cured by Li Xuanfeng, but for the remaining ten or so people, Li Xuanfeng could only shake his head when he saw them.
After all, the medical skills in the world are limited, and there are still many serious diseases that cannot be cured.
Now, a very affirmative saying has been circulating in Qingshan City: as long as Doctor Li can prescribe medicine, it means that the disease can still be cured.
But if Doctor Li shakes his head and refuses to charge the diagnosis fee, then the disease will be beyond the reach of even the gods and there will be no cure.
It was also because a large number of patients came to the clinic to seek treatment from Li Xuanfeng that he saw all kinds of human emotions.
Some people came to the clinic alone, even wearing cloaks to cover their faces, for fear of being recognized by others, and came to treat unspeakable illnesses.
Some people also felt relieved after seeing Li Xuanfeng prescribe the medicine, and were glad that their illness could finally be cured.
There is cheering after recovering from an illness, and there is also extreme loss when learning that one's illness is incurable.
There were even people who came to the Li family clinic with great hope, only to learn that they were beyond help and fainted due to being unable to bear the blow.
Once, an elderly wealthy businessman came to the clinic and said that he was willing to spend an enormous amount of money just in the hope that he could live longer.
This person already possessed wealth that rivaled a city, but he could not withstand the ravages of time. Even if he wanted to use his money to buy longevity, he could not find a way.
However, the answer he got from Li Xuanfeng was still that he was powerless, which shattered all his hopes. He turned around and left dejectedly.
The ancients once said that the higher a person's status, the more he fears death.
The same is true for the rich. They feel that they have not enjoyed enough and are unwilling to leave this world like this.
Unfortunately, no matter how much money you have, you cannot increase your lifespan and can only wait in depression for the day when your life ends.
Although most people of high status know that becoming a cultivator can increase their lifespan, they also know that cultivation is not a simple matter.
If one does not have certain qualifications, even if one practices for decades, one will not achieve much, and it will be difficult to increase one's lifespan, and in the end one will still only turn into a handful of earth.
There have been high-ranking officials or wealthy merchants who have sought the path to becoming immortals, but in the end very few have been able to become immortals.
Seeing these people who wanted to become cultivators because they had a short lifespan, Li Xuanfeng couldn't help but shake his head slightly. The cultivation world was much more cruel than the human world. Even if they were allowed to become cultivators, they would probably be killed by other cultivators even earlier.
Mortals envy the monks for their ability to ascend to heaven and escape into the earth, while monks envy the mortals for their peaceful and simple lives.
In the world of cultivation, if you leave the sect, you need to be extremely vigilant, otherwise you will die if someone suddenly shows murderous intent.
After practicing, the greed and desire in one's heart seem to have been magnified countless times, because for a rare resource, one can fight to the death.
Of course, this is something that ordinary mortals cannot think of. Therefore, many people are pursuing the fate of immortals, and even spend a lot of money just to have the opportunity to get close to the so-called "immortals" and seek the opportunity to become immortals.
…
On this day, a series of extremely orderly and heavy footsteps suddenly came from outside Li Xuanfeng's clinic!
Li Xuanfeng's ears moved slightly and his eyes flashed slightly. He already knew that the people who came were a well-trained team.
The heavy footsteps immediately made the expressions of several people who were buying medicine in the clinic change slightly, and they immediately looked outside the clinic.
Someone immediately recognized that the arriving team was the city guards of Qingshan City.
Because of the heavy footsteps, nearby residents looked over curiously, and soon a large crowd gathered in front of the clinic.
At this time, the captain of the city guards shouted, "Doctor Li, the city lord wants to see you. Please follow us to the city lord's mansion!"
This person's expression was extremely calm, and even his words did not seem to carry any emotion, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
But his voice was loud and clearly transmitted into the clinic, allowing Li Xuanfeng and others to hear it.
Li Xuanfeng and Shen Luoyan's expressions did not change at all, but Gao Sheng's expression changed drastically, and worry emerged in his heart. He wondered why the city lord wanted to see Doctor Li?
At this time, Li Xuanfeng chuckled and said, "Tell the city lord that I don't want to leave the clinic. If you have anything to do or want to see a doctor, please come to my clinic."
Hearing Li Xuanfeng's words, the expressions of the people nearby suddenly became extremely surprised. They didn't expect that he didn't even give the city lord face and actually asked the city lord to come in person.
The guards were furious when they heard this. The captain said in a gloomy tone, "It is your honor to be invited by the Lord City Lord. Please do not refuse a toast and drink a forfeit!"
Although the captain of the city guard had a bad tone, the onlookers couldn't help but nod their heads slightly. It was indeed an honor for the citizens to be invited by the city lord. Ordinary people would probably go there immediately with surprise.
Unfortunately, Li Xuanfeng is not among ordinary people.
Li Xuanfeng smiled again and said, "Li doesn't need this honor. Whoever wants it can go."
Hearing his words, the captain of the city guards' expression suddenly became even more gloomy, and he shouted again in a deep voice: "In that case, we will invite you over!"
When he said this, he deliberately emphasized the word "please"!
The crowd watching immediately understood that this team of city guards was going to forcibly take Doctor Li to the City Lord's Mansion!
As they were talking, the team of city guards were preparing to break into the Li family clinic and take Li Xuanfeng out. Many people were worried about him.
Although Dr. Li's diagnosis fee is extremely high, he has cured many people and is respected by the people of Qingshan City.
However, no one dared to come out to protect Li Xuanfeng at this time. They were the city guards, the most powerful force in Qingshan City, and they represented the city lord. They were simply not able to stop them.
Just when this team of city guards had reached the entrance of the clinic, they saw a young man in a blue robe walking towards them.
The young man in blue robe was Li Xuanfeng whom they were looking for.
Seeing Li Xuanfeng coming out, the team of city guards immediately stopped and a hint of disdain appeared on the captain's face.
In his opinion, this arrogant Doctor Li must be worried about being hurt by them, so he did not dare to go against them and decided to follow them to the City Lord's Mansion.
He couldn't help but sneer in his heart: "Wasn't he very arrogant just now? Why did he come out obediently now?"
If the city lord had not instructed not to offend this person too much, he would not have sneered in his heart, but would have directly mocked him.
Thinking of this, the captain of the city guard sneered even more in his heart, but he still managed to force a smile and said, "Since Doctor Li knows what's good for you, then come with us to see the city lord."
Seeing Li Xuanfeng walk out, the onlookers couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. In their opinion, if Li Xuanfeng went against the city guards, he would not gain any benefit and might even suffer serious injuries.
Although Doctor Li had previously disabled several bullies on his own, the city guards were no match for the bullies.
Even if Doctor Li is extremely skilled, he can probably only contend with two or three city guards at most, and cannot be a match for an entire team of city guards.
But Li Xuanfeng shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "That's not what I meant. I'm just worried that things in the clinic might be damaged!"
Hearing Li Xuanfeng's laughter, the smile on the captain's face suddenly froze, his eyes became extremely gloomy, and he asked coldly: "What did you say?"
The onlookers were also stunned after hearing this. They didn't expect Li Xuanfeng to say this after walking out of the clinic. Did he decide to fight against this team of city guards?
Li Xuanfeng shook his head and smiled again, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said calmly: "Li will not go with you to the City Lord's Mansion. If you want to fight, Li will accompany you to the end!"
Hearing Li Xuanfeng's words, the captain of the city guard suddenly laughed in anger and said in a deep voice: "Very good, since you don't want to drink the wine, don't blame us for being rude!"
As city guards, they were feared and respected by others wherever they went. They had never met someone as arrogant as Li Xuanfeng. At this moment, he could no longer tolerate it and completely forgot the city lord's instructions!
Then the captain of the city guard shouted again in a deep voice: "Go ahead, take this unruly man to the city lord's mansion to meet the city lord!"
His men immediately understood what he meant and rushed out to grab Li Xuanfeng who was standing at the door of the clinic.
Seeing this team of city guards coming quickly, Li Xuanfeng smiled and said, "Neighbors who are watching, please step back a little to avoid being accidentally injured."
While Li Xuanfeng was speaking, the team of city guards had already come close to him, and the one closest to him suddenly raised his hand and tried to grab Li Xuanfeng.
However, before his hand touched the corner of Li Xuanfeng's clothes, he suddenly felt an extremely strong pain in his lower abdomen, and then the whole person flew backwards!
When he was flying backwards, he also bumped into the other two city guards behind him, and the three of them were thrown out more than ten feet away!
