CHAPTER 139: CHAPTER 55 WHAT ARE YOU DAZING FOR, THROW HIM OUT!

The fur merchant looked at the blue pill in front of him, his face showing a skeptical expression.

As the saying goes, without comparison, there would be no harm; he had just witnessed the Female Priest treat a little boy with asthma. Adelle could tell at a glance the sins hidden within the farmer’s wife, leaving a deep impression, and then she personally officiated the ceremony, cleansing the child of the impurities in his body.

The fur merchant didn’t expect Li Yu to replicate exactly the same thing, but surely some sort of ritual was necessary, wasn’t it? Otherwise, how effective could a mere potion be?

Over the past year, he had already visited all the renowned herbalists in the Western Regions, but none of them could cure his serious secret ailment.

Seemingly noticing his concerns, Li Yu spoke again, "Go ahead and take it. The Divine Medicine was personally made by my lord on Saturday, so it doesn’t require a ritual to take effect."

These words somewhat reassured the fur merchant, but more importantly, he had been troubled by his illness for a long time.

Today, he had totally given up his pride, openly admitting his issues in front of so many people. He didn’t want to miss any chance of getting cured, no matter how slight it might be.

Thus, after only a brief hesitation, he decided to swallow the pill in his hand.

After waiting a while and becoming impatient, he undid his trousers and peeked inside, then rubbed a few times, only to be disappointed with the result.

The crowd nearby couldn’t help but jeer, and some even volunteered to take his worries off his hands, saying they’d let his wife experience what a real man was like, leaving the fur merchant red in the neck with anger and humiliation.

He looked at Li Yu with a mix of shame and anger, "Didn’t you say this is Divine Medicine? Why isn’t having any effect at all?"

"Be patient, how much time has passed?" Li Yu said calmly.

Typically, the small blue pill would take at least ten minutes to take effect, and under normal circumstances, half an hour. However, it had been less than seven minutes since the fur merchant had taken the medicine.

Reminded by Li Yu, the fur merchant realized he was being too impatient, so he sheepishly retreated.

But the mocking laughter did not disappear with his retreat.

Once one person started, more and more joined in, their abusive language becoming cruder by the moment, until finally, the Female Priest stood up and tried to restrain the believers.

The laughter subsided a bit then, but most people were still waiting to see the fur merchant and Li Yu made a fool of.

Unfortunately for them, they were bound to be disappointed this time.

Since the Silver Moon Church had put the fur merchant forward as the second patient, it meant his private problem wasn’t caused by physical injury, and Li Yu had confirmed this through his enquiries.

The issue with the fur merchant was more psychological than physical, which meant the blue pill could have a therapeutic effect on him.

And indeed, on the twenty-fifth minute after taking the medicine, the fur merchant seemed to notice something; his whole body suddenly shocked, his eyes revealing an expression of disbelief.

This time it wasn’t just him; people nearby who were close enough also noticed something unusual about the fur merchant.

Between his legs, a transformation was beginning to take place.

The fur merchant first looked stunned, then an expression of wild joy appeared on his face. He hurriedly undid his trousers again and peered inside. After that glance, his mouth stretched into an even wider smile, and he laughed out loud.

Those who had mocked him earlier now fell into silence.

Someone, unwilling to accept it, sneered, "Ha, what an act! He must be fooling us, perhaps there’s just a small stick hidden inside."

It seemed the fur merchant heard the sarcasm and responded with an action that left everyone present gawping in astonishment.

He proceeded to pull his trousers right down, and seeming not quite satisfied, he rotated his body, performing a 360-degree full turn showcase to make sure everyone could see the miracle that had occured.

Especially those who had once loudly mocked him, the fur trader lingered the longest in front of them, his gaze aggressive and intimidating.

A whole year had passed, a full year! No one knew how he had endured that year!

Ever since he contracted this strange illness, his happy life had been shattered. Wherever he went, he was accompanied by hushed whispers and malicious snickers.

The disappointed look in his wife’s eyes, the neighbors’ teasing, whether intentional or not, all tormented his nerves and left him gasping for breath.

But today he had finally stood up and reclaimed his dignity as a man!

At this moment, he wished the whole world could share in his joy.

"Hahaha, I can finally do it again."

The fur trader spread his arms wide, laughing uproariously at the sky, as if to sweep away all the pent-up resentment in his chest.

However, he was soon interrupted by a cold voice.

"What are you staring at, get it out!"

Miss Rabbit, with her hand on her forehead, spoke with a face full of lactic acid.

It was then that the guard beside her snapped out of his daze, hurried over to the fur trader, congratulated him, and then swiftly subdued him, forcing him to put his trousers back on and escorting him out of Green Field.

Only after the fur trader had walked far away did the female priest heave a sigh of relief and remove her small hand from her eyes.

But the expression on her face became even more solemn.

Adelle had not expected that in the second round, with such an obscure illness, Li Yu would still pass smoothly. His medical skill greatly surpassed her imagination.

Seeing that after two rounds the score was still tied, the female priest also began to panic. Could it really be necessary to use that move to win this competition?

However, by then, she had no retreat and could only continue the contest with a stiff upper lip as the church had arranged.

As expected, in the third round, the two once again ended in a draw without surprise.

Li Yu, with the adrenaline pen he had brought, successfully resuscitated a woman in shock, while Adelle used the Moon Essence provided by the church to once again relieve the agony of a tuberculosis patient.

Li Yu could only remark that some addictive drugs were indeed useful.

Although they did not have much therapeutic effect, the drugs were impressive on the surface and even the patients themselves felt much better.

Li Yu, however, did not dwell on this issue.

Unless he could provide irrefutable evidence that the dark clump used by the female priest was harmful to the human body, it would only end up as a war of words.

And Li Yu did not want to engage in a war of words with the Silver Moon Church in front of its congregants. That would only vex him.

Moreover, the contests between him and Adelle had not been without gain.

As he cured more and more people, the onlookers nearby gradually changed their views on him and the Double Rest Sect, from utter disbelief and jeers to gradually showing a hint of reverence in their eyes.

If there were a live interview at this point, it is likely that more and more people would start to feel that although the Double Rest Sect could not compare with the Silver Moon Church, it did have some merit.

And this scene was exactly what the Silver Moon Church did not want to see.
