Before Fangzheng could say a word, he heard the other party say, "Abbot Fangzheng, I’m Li Xuan. I’ve reported it to the higher-ups as quickly as possible. The higher-ups have agreed to your suggestion. However, the higher-ups said that I hope you can come forward for this matter. After all, you are the patent owner of the medical knowledge and pharmaceuticals."
"What? I’m the owner of the pharmaceutical patents? I’ve never applied for a patent before?" Fangzheng was stunned.
"There’s no need for you to apply for it. The country stipulates that anything substantial is converted from medical knowledge on the stone slabs, all the patents will belong to you. So… the price of the drugs will be decided by you. Also, even though the domestic drugs are expensive, they are still a result of market forces. The country cannot interfere directly, so…" Li Xuan paused, implying that he should understand.
Fangzheng nodded and said, "Understood… Which drugs are about to be successfully developed?"
Li Xuan said, "Right now, the main focus is on the two drugs, leukemia and heart disease. Once they are successfully developed, these two diseases will become history. I have to say that the medical knowledge you left behind is too powerful. It doesn’t differentiate types. As long as it’s the same type of illness, it can be cured with just one treatment! It’s too amazing! The only thing is that many of the medical knowledge here is completely different from what everyone knows. Many new things need to be verified step by step, or else they would have been developed long ago."
Fangzheng said, "If that’s the case, let them bring the information over. This Penniless Monk will help take a look and speed up the process."
Li Xuan said excitedly, "Alright, Abbot Fangzheng!"
After hanging up, Fangzheng heaved a sigh of relief.
Since Li Xuan did not need his help for the time being, it was time for him to fulfill his promise with Wei Dabao.
According to the address Wei Dabao left behind, Red Boy quickly sent Fangzheng over. Just as Wei Dabao said, he lived in a village in the mountains. There were few flat spots on the mountain, so there were few places for people to build a house. Therefore, it was unlike the northeast where the houses were all connected.
There was a certain distance between each house, so much so that they couldn’t even see each other. When night fell, it was pitch black, and only their own homes were brightly lit.
Wei Dabao’s house only had a single room. The door in the room was different from the northeast. The door was very big, just like the entrance to the courtyard. Both sides could be pushed open.
The wooden door frame creaked with a push, as if it would fall at any moment.
The room was a little dark. There was a small bed made of bamboo. The bed was covered with a blanket and there was a person lying on it. Her face could not be seen clearly.
Upon hearing the commotion at the door, Wei Dabao hurriedly ran out to check. Upon seeing Fangzheng, he couldn’t help but shed tears as he knelt down.
Fangzheng hurriedly went over to help him up.
Wei Dabao cried, "Master, I… I thank you… I really must thank you…"
Fangzheng said, "Patron, there’s no need for that."
Wei Dabao said, "Master, I’ve been seeking treatment all these years and I’ve met people who promised to help me.
Fangzheng said, "Patron, there’s no need for that. Let’s start the treatment first."
Upon hearing that Fangzheng was going to carry out treatment, Wei Dabao’s emotions calmed down. He hurriedly led Fangzheng to his wife’s side and said, "This is my wife. Please… take a look."
Fangzheng looked at the haggard old woman in front of him. She tried her best to squeeze out a smile at Fangzheng. She opened her mouth as though she was saying, "Master, have some water."
Fangzheng smiled and pressed his palms together. "Patron, the water can wait If there’s a need to drink, you can pour it for This Penniless Monk later."
Wei Dabao and his wife were stunned. She was to do the pouring? How was she going to pour the water in her present state?
Fangzheng ignored Wei Dabao and recalled the medical skills he had learned. Hence, he asked Red Boy, "Can you help me condense a Qi needle?"
Red Boy nodded. "No problem."
Therefore, Red Boy patted Fangzheng on the shoulder. A blob of Qi condensed on Fangzheng’s hand, turning into a red-colored Qi needle. This was different from the Buddhistic medicine Spirit Qi Fangzheng used in the past. It seemed to contain some fire…
However, Fangzheng didn’t mind. He stabbed the needle into the old woman’s chest, but not at her heart. Instead, it was in the surrounding acupuncture points. Then, he slowly rotated the Qi needle…
At the same time, Fangzheng and Red Boy communicated mentally. Fangzheng got Red Boy to control the Qi needle to enter her heart’s blood capillaries to clear out any blockages… At the same time, he used Red Boy’s essence energy to nourish the old woman’s heart…
Red Boy absorbed the Heaven and Earth spiritual energies. This spiritual energy could nourish all living beings.
Although it wasn’t as effective as Buddhistic medicine Spirit Qi, it was more than enough to cure ordinary people.
An hour later, Fangzheng stopped and said to Wei Dabao, "Patron, this patron’s condition has stabilized. She should be able to recover after she wakes up."
"Thank you, Master…" Wei Dabao was so excited that he could not help but smile. He was already 60-70 years old, but he was so excited that he was like a child. He was dancing, at a loss as to what to do. It took him some time before he remembered to pour Fangzheng a cup of water.
After saying that, Wei Dabao ran out of the door happily. Then, he remembered that he did not bring a cup of water and came in to get a cup…
Then, there was the clanking of the pressure valve in the courtyard’s water well…
By the time Wei Dabao got enough water and entered the house, Fangzheng and Red Boy were gone.
On the bed, an old woman was sitting there, smiling at him with tears in her eyes. She said softly, "Old man, are you tired? Come here, let me take a look at you…"
Pa…
The water in Wei Dabao’s hand fell to the ground. He ran over with tears in his eyes and hugged the old lady. "My wife… You’re fine now. I’ve been feeling terrible these past few days… If you leave, what should I do…"
Wei Dabao cried like a child. The old lady hugged Wei Dabao and smiled. "Alright, I’m fine. I’ll take care of you in the future, just like in the past…"
…
The duo did not see two people standing in the room. They were Fangzheng and Red Boy.
"Master, this patron’s house…" Red Boy said.
Fangzheng patted Red Boy on the head. "Remember the place. Someone will deliver some living necessities."
"Who?" Red Boy asked in puzzlement.
Fangzheng said, "Someone who should not have taken the money!"
On the way back, Red Boy waved the cell phone and said, "Master, I think what this patron said makes sense. There’s nothing we can do even if the drugs are expensive. The cost of developing new drugs is also very expensive. If one can’t guarantee profits, these companies will lose the motivation for research and development. The final result will be that no one has any drugs to eat."
