One can say that it is a treasure beyond price.
When looking at the auction list, Qin Tianfeng had already noticed it and intended to provide support during the auction to take it away.
But, having lost focus for a moment, the item ended up in Chen Yu's hands.
"Chen, aren't you going too far?" Qin Tianfeng suddenly stood up and approached Chen Yu, "It was bad enough you bought a century-old turmeric, but now you also want to take this? This is my grandniece's treasured asset."
A surge of nameless rage instantly rose in Chen Yu's heart.
"This is an auction, where everyone can participate in the bidding. Besides, I've already had the server go and make an offer, is there a problem?"
Qin Mingxue quickly stood up to stop Qin Tianfeng.
"Uncle, Mr. Chen did indeed buy it with his own money, and it was the highest bid in the room. Didn't you see the big screen just now?"
Qin Tianfeng didn't know what to do for a moment; all his attention had been on Chen Yu, not the big screen.
Suddenly, the social event descended into chaos.
A security staff member rushed into the room in a flurry.
"Boss Hu, there's been an incident. A VIP suddenly fainted in the hall. It looks like acute heart disease, and they're barely hanging on."
Qin Mingxue immediately tensed up, "Send the doctor we've invited here right away. We must save the person."
In a market like this underground trading venue, the occasional death is hardly anything unusual, but under such special circumstances, not a single mishap can be afforded.
The ones who attend these auctions are all big shots; should anyone of them encounter an incident, the underground market would face endless trouble.
Chen Yu shoved the food on the table into his mouth and took a sip of white wine before hurriedly descending the stairs.
He had already scanned the situation in the hall with his system; although the person was suffering from acute heart disease, it wasn't serious. With emergency treatment within five minutes, there was still a glimmer of hope for survival.
No sooner had he reached the bottom of the stairs than Qin Tianfeng hurried into the hall in a panic.
This was the perfect moment for him to demonstrate his abilities.
Even though many of his certificates were bought, the book he carried didn't only contain knowledge of medicinal materials but also some secret medical recipes.
It was by relying on these recipes that he had secured his current status.
And as for cases of acute heart disease, he had dealt with quite a few.
Chen Yu saw Qin Tianfeng's flustered figure and couldn't help but want to laugh.
He had already scanned this guy's brain information, knowing him like the back of his hand.
The patient in the hall had a heart slightly different from a normal person's; a slight deviation meant that if treated with the knowledge in Qin Tianfeng's head, it wouldn't cure the illness and could even result in the patient's death.
Without saying much, Chen Yu just moved a chair and sat near the patient.
For this auction, Qin Mingxue had exhausted much effort; the venue was fully equipped with all necessary devices, even the on-site emergency doctor was an expert from the city center hospital.
Qin Tianfeng went straight to the scene and pushed the two experts aside.
"You two, do you even know how to treat a patient? How can you use such basic emergency treatment on someone with acute heart disease?"
This scolding left the two doctors stunned on the spot.
After all, they were experts who had handled similar cases many times over. Could they really be wrong?
With an air of arrogance, Qin Tianfeng took out a certification from his person and handed it over.
The two experts immediately looked at each other with respect on their faces.
"So it's the esteemed Mr. Qin. Since you're here, we won't show off our mediocre skills in your presence. Please, sir, treat the patient quickly."
Qin Tianfeng held his head high, rolling up his sleeves in a showy manner, and placed one hand on the patient's chest cavity.
"Bring the needles!"
The doctor beside him quickly passed over a set of needles.
Qin Tianfeng made some gestures over the patient's body and then stuck two silver needles into the left side of the chest cavity.
If it were a normal case of acute heart disease, this treatment method wouldn't be incorrect. Just two more needles below the left side of the chest, and the patient would wake up.
Unfortunately, this time it was beyond Qin Tianfeng's knowledge.
As he inserted the needles, the patient's body suddenly began convulsing violently, spitting out mouthfuls of blood.
The people present immediately became chaotic, even Qin Tianfeng's eyes widened in surprise.
He had saved many patients with this method; why wasn't it working now?
"Mr. Qin, you really have the guts to practice medicine outside with just a medical book as your guide!"
Chen Yu's languid voice made Qin Tianfeng's body tremble violently.
No one besides himself knew about that medical book he carried on him.
Before he could speak, Chen Yu had already pushed him aside, squatted down, pulled out the four needles from the patient, and then fiercely pressed a finger on the patient's neck.
The patient, who had just been convulsing, immediately calmed down.
"Sir, curing a disease is not about one trick working for everything! You have to change your methods according to the foundation of the pathology and the changes in the patient's body!"
These words were a blatant lesson, making Qin Tianfeng's face turn crimson with embarrassment.
Still, he tried his best to maintain his master's demeanor.
"Stop talking nonsense. This patient is at death's door, and most of his cardiac functions have necrotized and cannot work normally. Even if a more capable doctor came, his death would be certain."
No sooner had he finished speaking than the patient suddenly sat up, gasping for air.
"You old fool are the one talking nonsense; I was conscious just now! Those needles you stuck almost killed me. If it weren't for this young master's timely treatment, I would have been done in by you."
All those present widened their eyes, staring at Qin Tianfeng with strange looks.
They had all heard stories about this medical predecessor; there were many legends about him in the Medical Association.
But now, a significant blunder had occurred.
And the young man beside him seemed to be far more skilled in medicine.
A few journalists immediately surrounded them.
"Mr. Qin, can you explain what happened just now? Was it a decline in your medical skills, or is the younger generation too formidable?"
"Young master, where did you learn your medical skills?"
"Young master, what did you mean by saying 'Mr. Qin resorting to the same trick'? Could you elaborate?"
...
The scene immediately became chaotic, and Qin Tianfeng didn't know how to respond, so he hurriedly pushed through the crowd back to the room on the third floor.
Chen Yu didn't want to stay there any longer; continuing would only hinder the progress of the auction.
