Chapter Thirty-Four Medicinal Concoction
Standing under the pressure of that strong aura, Lin was not moved at all. The words he spoke were even more straightforward: "How can you say that you can't even investigate Mr. McGregory's illness, and yet you dare to take responsibility for treating him? Do you think this is a joke? This isn't just some stray cat or dog, it's a human life! Have you ever thought about what would happen if I were driven away today and you still couldn't cure Mr. McGregory's illness? It's really unknown how your teacher taught you to play with people's lives like this. You're not a quack doctor, are you?"
"I..."
The red-haired beauty's murderous aura slightly dissipated, and her pretty face turned bright red. She wanted to explain a couple of sentences, but was interrupted by Lin Li without any courtesy.
"What's the matter with you? Are you suggesting that you can think of a way out? Alright, alright, I'll assume you will eventually think of one, but please open your eyes and take a good look at Mr. McGillicuddy's situation now, and consider whether he can still afford to wait for you to come up with a solution!"
Lin Li's greatest hatred in this life is quack doctors deceiving people. If it weren't for that damned quack doctor back then, his father wouldn't have ended up with a lifelong disability. Although he has already become a different person now, the deep-seated pain and disgust are impossible to erase no matter what. When interrogating the red-haired beauty, Lin Li had unknowingly taken her as that damned quack doctor.
"Because of your ridiculous suspicions, Mr. McGrane may have lost his life! What do you think you are? And what did you take the patient's life for? You said you're not a quack doctor, then what are you? A charlatan?" By the end, Lin Li was pale with rage, and his tone was filled with endless resentment, as if he were standing in front of the quack doctor who had crippled his father for life, rather than a beautiful woman.
These words were so severe that even the red-haired beauty couldn't help but waver.
MacGyver's face was deathly pale, his body gaunt, and every breath seemed to take all his strength. Looking at MacGyver in this extremely weak state, the red-haired beauty lost confidence for the first time, repeatedly asking herself if MacGyver could really hold on until she came up with a plan?
The answer was somewhat cruel for her - completely impossible.
She didn't even understand what the dusk curse was, let alone think of a solution, while McGregory on the sickbed might not be able to wait for even one day...
And if this young monk really has the ability to save people, but he himself repeatedly blocks it and even wants to drive him away, wouldn't that be equivalent to...
The red-haired beauty was probably scared by this.
The flickering flames gradually died out, and the unique aura of a level 10 strongman also vanished into thin air. At this moment, the red-haired beauty was just a little girl who had done something wrong, tightly hugging Ina, her voice trembling with a hint of tears: "I'm sorry, Ina... I... I really only wanted to help Uncle McGregory... I didn't think... I really didn't think..."
"Roline sister, I know, I know..." Ina comforted the red-haired beauty, holding her fragrant shoulder and speaking softly.
"If you know you're wrong, then go cry somewhere else. Don't stay here and be a nuisance, it's annoying to look at." Lin Li gave her a cold glance before ignoring her again.
The amount of purification medicine was a bit tricky to grasp, and Lin Li didn't dare to be careless. After carefully calculating the amount of silver grass and sunflower grass, he picked up two Tielu fruits in his hand and weighed them. With the sense of touch honed from thousands of times of medication practice, as soon as the two Tielu fruits were in his hand, Lin Li knew that the amount was too much. So he took out a small silver knife from his pocket and carefully cut off half of one of the fruits.
After all this, Lin Li suddenly had an extra teacup in his hand. Neither Ina nor the red-haired beauty saw where the teacup came from, and the whole process was like a magic trick.
Lin Li's wrist shook, and the Taylo fruit fell into the crucible. He then chanted another spell of explosive air, but Lin Li controlled it carefully, releasing the magic power bit by bit, turning an attack-filled explosion into a slow squeeze. If this scene were to fall into Grian's eyes, it would likely surprise the old man again. Such subtle control over magic usually takes at least ten years for a magician to cultivate.
Under the compressive force of Lin Li's explosion magic, the two Tai Luo fruits began to slowly deform. As Lin Li released more and more magical power, the originally round Tai Luo fruits finally transformed into thin slices.
A silver knife lightly pried out two pieces of tamarillo skin, and in a transparent beaker, a thick tamarillo juice liquid was swirling.
"You... what are you doing?" The red-haired beauty, still with tears in her eyes, couldn't help but ask timidly again as she watched this strange scene.
"Mind your own business..." Lin Li was completely focused and didn't even bother to respond, bluntly scolding her before putting the Dream Flower into the crucible.
Another incantation of Flame Hand rose, and Lin Li still carefully controlled the magic, only letting a small flame ignite on his hand, slowly burning the bottom of the crucible.
After the Tyro fruit juice started boiling, Lin Li carefully picked up the Silver Whisker Grass and Sunflower, both of which were almost simultaneously thrown into the crucible. A white mist rose immediately, and a strong medicinal fragrance wafted through the room, containing sacred power that even Ina, as a warrior, and the red-haired beauty couldn't help but be moved by.
Lin Li poured most of the medicinal liquid into McGrane's mouth, and then carefully massaged him for a while to make the medicine take effect as soon as possible.
As he heard McGrane's breathing gradually stabilize, Lin Li finally let out a long sigh.
"It's all right, Ina; Mr. McGregory will be coming round in about half an hour."
"Thank you, Mr. Ferre..." For a moment, Ina was so surprised that her eyes were about to well up with tears.
"Mr. McGrane is fine, you should be happy instead of crying...” Lin Li put the thermos into his pocket and reminded Ina carefully: “Although he's fine now, his body will still be very weak. I estimate that it may take some time to recover. You'd better advise him not to take on any tasks for two or three months."
"Mr. Ferre, thank you, I really don't know what to do if it wasn't for you." Ina's eyes were filled with gratitude: "You've helped us so many times, but Ina doesn't have anything to repay you..."
"There's nothing to thank for, if it wasn't for your help back then, I might still be stuck in the Luoshan Mountains now. If anyone should be thanked, it should be me instead." Lin Li's character was like this, clear about gratitude and resentment, remembering kindness forever. Although McGregory father and daughter had only helped unintentionally, Lin Li had kept it firmly in mind.
"If there's nothing else, I'll head back first. Otherwise, when your dad wakes up, it's estimated that we'll have to thank him endlessly..." Lin Li tidied up and prepared to return to the Magic Guild.
"Heh!" Hearing him say something interesting, Ina couldn't help but burst out laughing too.
Lin Li insisted on leaving, and Ina couldn't stop him, so she could only see him off at the door.
Seeing Lin Li's back disappear into the distance, Ina reluctantly returned to the building with a hint of regret. As soon as she went upstairs, she heard Rolin's tearful apology: "Ina... I'm sorry."
"It's okay, Lorraine sister, you're also kind-hearted and want to save Dad." Ina comforted her again in a gentle tone before the red-haired beauty stopped crying.
"What kind of person was that magician just now? How did you know him?" Roline wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes, but couldn't help feeling curious about Lin Li's identity.
"I've introduced him before, he's Mr. Ferre, I met him with my dad in the Sunset Mountains, he's a very powerful magician, helped me and my dad a lot of times, unfortunately I never had the chance to repay him..."
"Fei Rei!" This time, Luo Lin finally heard clearly. She never thought that the young-looking magician just now was actually Fei Rei, the pharmacist who had been spreading rumors in Galos recently!
"At that time, I and my dad were being chased by a two-legged flying dragon, just when Mr. Feynman suddenly appeared to save us, and then... afterwards I was caught by a big gorilla..."
Ina reminisced about her days in the Sunset Mountains, but Lorraine didn't hear a word, still reeling from the shock.
No wonder he could see Mr. McGregory's illness at a glance and concoct such a strange medicine, it turns out that he is actually a real pharmacist!
Thinking of the young lawyer's other identity, Rowling's beautiful eyebrows furrowed again...
