"Which little bastard locked the restroom from the inside!"

"Doing this kind of thing in a hospital—have you no shame!"

The elderly janitor cleaning the restroom cursed under his breath. After working at the hospital for so many years, this was the first time he had encountered something like this.

Just as he was about to leave, there was a click, and the stall door unlocked. Lin Fei walked out with a smile on his face.

"Hello, sir!"

The elderly janitor froze on the spot.

He opened the stall door and looked inside. It was a squat toilet, not a toilet bowl.

He had knocked several times and even crouched down to look through the gap beneath the door, yet he had not seen anyone at all. That was why he had cursed so furiously, thinking someone was deliberately causing trouble.

"There clearly wasn't anyone in there. Where did this guy come from?"

After leaving the restroom, Lin Fei ran into Zhou Wangdao, Wu Zhen, and the others.

"President Wu, I've already arranged a special care ward for you. You must stay in the hospital and recuperate for a few days..."

"Hey, young man, stop right there!"

Zhou Wangdao stopped Lin Fei. After examining Wu Zhen, he had discovered that Lin Fei was gone.

"Your injuries can't be delayed. Hurry up and handle the admission procedures. Prepare for surgery!"

Lin Fei curled his lips into a smile. "No need. I'm already better."

"Better?"

As a master of traditional Chinese medicine, Zhou Wangdao was naturally proficient in observation, listening, inquiry, and pulse-taking.

He gave Lin Fei a glance. His complexion was rosy, and his voice was strong.

He truly did not look as pale and weak from deficient qi as he had during the earlier examination.

"How is that possible!"

He stepped forward, grabbed Lin Fei's wrist, and felt his pulse. It was strong, his breathing smooth and steady. He was in excellent health.

He lightly patted Lin Fei's chest again. Lin Fei showed no reaction whatsoever, nothing like someone who had previously broken ribs.

"You clearly broke two ribs, and another one was cracked. Only half an hour has passed—how are you already healed?"

This was downright seeing a ghost in broad daylight!

Zhou Wangdao had practiced medicine for decades, yet he had never encountered anything so bizarre.

Even Wu Zhen and Wu Yuqing moved closer in curiosity.

"Uncle Zhou, what's wrong?"

Lin Fei knew it would be difficult to explain why his injuries had healed so quickly.

If Zhou Wangdao forcibly kept him behind for medical research, that would be troublesome.

"Well, I ran into a white-bearded old man in the restroom just now. He gave me a pill called the Snow Ginseng Jade Toad Pill."

"He told me to swallow it, rest where I was for half an hour, and not run around. Then he left. I've been looking everywhere for him because I want to thank him!"

Though Lin Fei felt that his story was rather far-fetched, it was still more believable than saying he could enter a world of immortal cultivation.

Zhou Wangdao's face was full of suspicion, but Wu Yuqing seemed to believe it.

"Could you have met a divine physician?"

"Uncle Zhou, if this divine physician appeared here, could he be from your hospital?"

"If we can find him and have him treat my father, perhaps my father can recover too."

Zhou Wangdao frowned in thought. He had never heard of any divine physician at the hospital, and the whole thing sounded unreliable no matter how he considered it.

But he had personally examined Lin Fei's injuries. There was absolutely no way they could have been faked.

"Could there really be a divine physician? Kid, tell me in detail. What did that divine physician look like?"

"Uh... he was just a white-bearded old man, with white hair and the face of a child. I can't remember anything else. I thought he was trying to fool me."

Afraid that he would give himself away if he said too much, Lin Fei hurriedly said, "I have something urgent to do. I'm leaving first."

Lin Fei turned and ran, afraid Zhou Wangdao would not let him leave.

After leaving the hospital, Lin Fei headed straight for the supermarket.

For this transaction with Thousand Gold Pavilion, he had promised to supply goods for an entire year. With such a large quantity, he had to find a supplier.

Lin Fei did not know any suppliers of alcohol or beverages. The only thing he could think of was buying from a supermarket.

Longhua Mall.

This was the largest mall in Yunzhou, and its supermarket was also the best in Yunzhou.

The first floor of the mall had many counters selling gold jewelry, while the supermarket was on the first basement level.

"I don't have any capital on me right now. I have to sell the gold coins first."

Lin Fei walked toward one of the counters. The saleswoman was young and pretty, and she herself was decked out in gold and silver.

"Sir, what do you need?"

Just as Lin Fei was about to speak, an oddly mocking voice rang out.

"Oh my, I thought I was seeing things. It really is you, you country bumpkin!"

Ma Yiming walked over with his arm around a girl.

"Yaoyao, let me tell you, this is the ex-boyfriend my sister dumped. A country bumpkin from the countryside."

"He couldn't even come up with three hundred thousand yuan for the bride price, yet he wanted to marry my sister. What a joke."

Ma Yiming's girlfriend, Lu Yao, also sneered. "Hehe, this is how much bride price we city people ask for when we get married. Being poor isn't your fault. Your fault is that you weren't born into a good family."

"I think you should go back to the countryside, spend a few tens of thousands, marry some country woman, and live your little life."

Ma Yiming added, "Lin Fei, don't tell me you came here to buy a piece of gold jewelry to coax my sister into forgiving you?"

"Then you'd better buy something expensive. Don't embarrass yourself by buying gold jewelry that costs less than fifty thousand."

Lin Fei had not wanted to bother with Ma Yiming, but this guy kept fanning the flames, which was truly irritating.

"Ma Yiming, your family took money from selling off your daughter to use as your bride price for marrying a wife. Don't you feel ashamed?"

Ma Yiming's face darkened, and he immediately stopped smiling.

Lu Yao said, "Enough. Don't argue with him here. Isn't it embarrassing, letting people laugh at us?"

"Didn't you bring me here to buy the three golds? Are we buying them or not?"

Ma Yiming quickly put on a fawning smile. "Buying, buying, of course we're buying!"

"Yaoyao, just pick the expensive ones. We don't want anything under fifty thousand!"

Ma Yiming pulled out a bank card, smugly waved it at Lin Fei, then slapped it onto the counter.

That bank card contained the one hundred and fifty thousand yuan Lin Fei's family had scraped together for the bride price.

Lu Yao gave Ma Yiming a hard kiss, overjoyed.

"Honey, you're so good to me!"

Ma Yiming added, "Lin Fei, you don't have money to buy anything, so why aren't you getting lost? What are you staying here for? Don't tell me you're planning to rob the gold shop?"

The saleswomen behind the counter grew nervous and stared at Lin Fei warily.

"Sir, are you buying anything?"

"If not, please leave."

Lin Fei placed his hand on the counter. "I'm not buying, but I am selling!"

He opened his palm, revealing a gold coin.

Ma Yiming paused, not expecting Lin Fei to pull a stunt like this.

"A gold coin? Is it real or fake?"

He reached out to touch it, but Lin Fei shot him a glare.

"What are you doing? Are you trying to rob me of my gold coin?"

Ma Yiming said disdainfully, "It's just one gold coin. At most, it can sell for a few tens of thousands. What are you putting on airs for?"

Lin Fei pulled more gold coins from his pocket and placed them on the counter one by one.

There were ten gold coins in total!

Ma Yiming, Lu Yao, and the saleswoman all stared in stunned silence.
