Ye Bufan said, "Indeed, I happen to know this prescription."

"That's fantastic, young man. Please help me complete the prescription, and I won't deduct a single penny from the 1 million reward for you."

Cao Xinghua was so excited that his beard seemed to jump with joy. Just by looking at the two medicinal herbs Ye Bufan had already filled in, he could tell that this young man was extraordinary.

He had researched this prescription countless times and tried numerous herbs, but none could match the properties of the previous fifteen herbs. However, these two herbs were completely different and perfectly complemented the previous fifteen. They were likely the two missing herbs from the prescription.

Ye Bufan shook his head and said, "I'm sorry. I was going to fill in all of them, but the people from Hundred Herbs Hall said this isn't a place where just anyone can write anything. It seems our fate isn't meant to be. You'd better find someone else."

As Ye Bufan turned to leave, Cao Xinghua grabbed his wrist. "Buddy, don't go. Please don't go."

The reward notice had been posted for so long, and apart from Ye Bufan, no one else could even match a single herb. If he left, where would Cao Xinghua find another person?

Hua Tuo's Golden Prescription was priceless, and it involved the life and death of a prominent figure, which was why he was willing to offer a million-dollar reward. Now that there was finally someone who could complete it, he wouldn't let go no matter what.

After stopping Ye Bufan, he turned back to Liu Hong with anger. "You damn fool! How dare you speak to him like that? Apologize to him immediately! Let me tell you, if he doesn't forgive you, you're getting out today!"

"I..."

Liu Hong was completely dumbfounded. For him, the salary at Hundred Herbs Hall was the highest in the entire medical business of Jiangnan City. Moreover, with Cao Xinghua's prestige in the field of traditional Chinese medicine, if he were expelled from here, it was feared that no one would ever employ him again, which would mean completely losing his livelihood.

Thinking of this, he suddenly knelt down in front of Ye Bufan and slapped himself twice. "I'm sorry, it's my fault for being shortsighted. I have elders and juniors to support at home. Please forgive me this time!"

Ye Bufan sighed. Such a person, he should have known better. However, since inheriting the legacy of the Ancient Medical Sect, his knowledge and vision had risen to another level, and he couldn't be bothered with such small-minded individuals.

He waved his hand and said, "Alright, get up."

"Thank you, thank you!" Liu Hong quickly got up from the ground, grateful.

Cao Xinghua spoke again, "Just now, you came to buy medicine, didn't you? No matter what medicine you're buying, it's all on the house."

"What?" Liu Hong said, "Mr. Cao, those herbs add up to tens of thousands..."

Cao Xinghua interrupted, "If I tell you to go, then go! Stop with the nonsense!"

"Don't be angry, I'll go now." Liu Hong hurried to the counter and brought over the packaged herbs.

Just now, he had thought about taking a kickback, but now, all the herbs were given away for free. He had almost lost his job. If he had known this earlier, why would he have provoked others?

Thinking like this, he presented the herbs to Ye Bufan.

Cao Xinghua said, "Buddy, consider these herbs my apology to you. Please help me complete the Hua Tuo’s Golden Prescription."

As he spoke, he looked eager.

As the Taishan Beidou of traditional Chinese medicine in Jiangnan City, Mr. Cao had reached such a level that Ye Bufan naturally had nothing more to say.

He picked up the pen and completed the last remaining herb—Three-leaf Cymbidium faberi.

"It's complete, finally complete!"

Seeing the completed Hua Tuo’s Golden Prescription, Cao Xinghua trembled with excitement all over.

This prescription had come into his possession by chance, but because it was so ancient, many of the characters on it were unclear, making it a partial prescription.

Knowing the value of Hua Tuo’s Golden Prescription, he had put a lot of effort into identifying the first fifteen herbs, but he couldn't complete the last three.

This time, in order to treat that important figure's illness and also to make up for his regret, he had put up a million-dollar reward.

The notice had been posted for several days, but many people were helpless. Just as he was completely disappointed and ready to withdraw the notice, he met this young man.

However, Ye Bufan remained indifferent. The so-called Hua Tuo’s Golden Prescription was quite ordinary in the Ancient Medical Sect and was not a remarkable prescription.

Cao Xinghua was excited for quite a while before taking the prescription off the wall. Suddenly, his expression changed.

After pondering for a moment, he said, "Buddy, there seems to be something wrong with this prescription. Three-leaf Cymbidium faberi clashes with Angelicae Dahuricae Radix in terms of medicinal properties. These two herbs cannot be used together."

He was well-versed in the properties of Chinese medicine and immediately noticed the flaw in the prescription.

Liu Hong, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but feel moved. He had known that this young man would not be able to complete the Hua Tuo’s Golden Prescription. When Mr. Cao gave the order, he would immediately grab back the herbs worth tens of thousands of dollars.

Ye Bufan said calmly, "Mr. Cao, you are right that these two herbs cannot be used together, but the mistake is not with Three-leaf Cymbidium faberi, but with Angelicae Dahuricae Radix. The herb in Hua Tuo’s Golden Prescription should be Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma, not Angelicae Dahuricae Radix. Although they are similar, their properties are quite different."

"Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma?"

As an expert in traditional Chinese medicine, Cao Xinghua naturally wouldn't believe whatever others said. He carefully studied the prescription for a while and suddenly showed a look of realization on his face.

On the partial prescription, only one "A" was clearly visible for this herb, and the following character was extremely blurry. He had guessed for a long time that it should be Angelicae Dahuricae Radix, but he had still made a mistake.

"Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma! Indeed, it's Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma! Now it all makes sense!"

After replacing Angelicae Dahuricae Radix with Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma, the entire prescription became seamlessly integrated, without any flaws.

Liu Hong felt disappointed but extremely astonished at the same time. Who exactly was this young man? He could actually guide Mr. Cao in the field of traditional Chinese medicine, which was unheard of before. It seemed that this person absolutely couldn't be offended in the future.

"Buddy, you are indeed extraordinary. I truly admire you," Liu Hong said.

Cao Xinghua, excitedly, said, "Buddy, I haven't asked for your name and your master's name yet?"

He had visited many famous Chinese medicine practitioners before, but none of them could complete the Hua Tuo’s Golden Prescription. Ye Bufan, being able to do it at such a young age, indicated that his master was definitely extraordinary. This immediately made him eager to make friends with Ye Bufan.

"My name is Ye Bufan, and my master was a reclusive expert who has already passed away."

"Oh," Cao Xinghua's eyes flashed with a hint of regret, then he said, "Buddy, you helped me complete the Hua Tuo’s Golden Prescription. Now it's time for me to fulfill my promise."

He called over the person in charge from the clinic and presented a one million dollar check to Ye Bufan.

Ye Bufan accepted the check and said, "Mr. Cao, no work, no pay. Let's deduct the cost of these herbs from it."

"What are you talking about? I said it's free. Aren't you just slapping me in the face?" Cao Xinghua exclaimed. "The Hua Tuo’s Golden Prescription is priceless. Even if I add another 200,000, it wouldn't matter. Moreover, you've helped me greatly this time. I'm waiting to save a friend's life with the completed prescription. If it's delayed for a few more days, it might be too late."

Ye Bufan had a good impression of this old man. Despite being an elder in the traditional Chinese medicine field, he didn't have any airs and was straightforward in character, which suited Ye Bufan's temperament.

"Mr. Cao, do you intend to use the Hua Tuo’s Golden Prescription to treat someone?" Ye Bufan asked.

Cao Xinghua nodded and said, "Yes, I have a friend who has a severe lung disease. The situation is extremely dire. He has consulted numerous famous doctors, but none could help. If I don't gather the Hua Tuo’s Golden Prescription soon, he probably won't live for more than two or three days."

Ye Bufan frowned and said, "Mr. Cao, you're mistaken. The Hua Tuo’s Golden Prescription simply cannot cure illnesses."
