Chapter 15 - The Expensive Art of Marrow Cleansing
The bald old dan master was startled by the appearance of the three people gritting their teeth, and thought that his offer was too high, provoking these three young people, busy awkwardly smiling and said, "If you guys think it's too expensive, the price can still be negotiated, it can be negotiated ......."
In fact, on weekdays, he sells special effect qi refining pills, just a few dozen dollars more expensive than the ordinary ones, that is, looking at the immediate examination and cultivation, only doubled the price, want to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune.
The three people were even more angry.
What? Can still bargain, can still be cheaper?
Surname Su, you are simply too much of a thing!
Because of their preconceptions and other reasons, the three of them didn't think about letting the bald old elixir master give a potion to try the effect, and directly assumed that Su Mu had gotten the goods from here.
Otherwise, why would Su Mu come all the way here after school?
And the bald old elixir master here, who happened to know how to make Special Effects Qi Refining Pills?
After some haggling, they negotiated a price with the bald old elixir master, a box of Special Effect Qi Refining Pills could be taken for only eight hundred dollars.
Knowing that their fire wasn't running towards them, the bald old elixir master breathed a sigh of relief and asked with a smile, "How many boxes do you guys want?"
The three of them had all brought enough money with them today, and after hearing the bald old elixir master's offer, they got together and whispered a few words of discussion before saying, "We have sixty thousand dollars here, all of which we'll use to buy the Special Effects Qi Refining Pills, can you give us a few more boxes?"
The balding old Dan Master's eyes lit up.
I didn't see that these three youngsters were quite generous.
The first shot was 60,000 dollars, is this the second generation of rich people, or the second generation of cultivators?
He thought for a moment and said, "Sixty thousand dollars, just enough to buy 75 boxes. In this case, I'll give you another 5 boxes of discount, and give you 80 boxes, is that okay?"
"It's okay." The three of them nodded repeatedly, very satisfied, and asked if they could test the medicine.
The bald old pillsmith looked embarrassed, "It's possible to test the pills, but my place here is small, so you guys can't do it, right? Moreover, you need to practice a set of qi cultivation techniques to test the medicine, and I have other patients here, so it's really inconvenient. Don't worry, the qi refining pills I sell are definitely better than those on the market. If it's not as good as the ones on the market, you guys can come to me for a refund!"
The bald old elixir master made a flurry of jabbering, which made the three of them faint, thinking that they had gotten a guarantee anyway, and if the effect was not good, they could still come for a refund, so they no longer insisted on trying the pills, and after scanning the code and paying, they walked out of the medical center carrying 80 boxes of the Special Effects Qi Refining Pills.
While walking, they also used their cell phones to contact their classmates, telling each other that they also have special effect qi refining pills, and that they can buy five boxes for only 10,000 yuan, which is much cheaper than the ones sold by Su Mu, and also much more conscientious.
There was even one person who directly @Su Mu in the group he built last night, saying that he was a black hearted middleman, not only did he pit the group's money, but he also acted out the drama and pushed the pot onto the Great Dan Master. In fact, the special effect Qi Refining Pills sold by the other Great Dan Master were not that expensive at all.
After condemning it in sharp words, this person didn't forget to advertise, saying that he also had special effect qi refining pills in his hands, and that for only ten thousand dollars, he could buy five boxes of them.
Although this group was newly created, it was so hot that there were people chatting and fighting in the group at all times, even during classes, this group was never cold.
Therefore, as soon as this person's message was sent out, the entire group exploded.
Many people were asking, "Really? You guys also have special effect qi refining pills, and only ten thousand dollars for five boxes?"
"Of course it's true, and we still have stock in hand, if you pay now, give an address and we can even deliver to your door."
"Not only is our price cheaper than Su Mu's, our service is also better than his!"
"Let me tell you, we are different from Su Mu, he is a black hearted crooked businessman who only wants to pit everyone's money. We're different, we're here to let everyone progress together and succeed in their exams together!"
The three of you spoke and I spoke, and the rhythm was brought up.
There were really quite a few people in the group, who were brought up to speed by them, feeling that they were being punked by Su Mu, and one by one, they were filled with anger and clamored for a refund.
Su Mu didn't know what was happening in the group, he was sitting in the cab going home, calling Xiao Ye's attending doctor.
"Dr. Ma, I remember you mentioned before that besides chemotherapy and bone marrow transplant, there is a safer and more effective treatment that can cure my sister's disease, right?"
Dr. Ma on the other end of the phone, who was supposed to be off work, was eating his lunch.
He swallowed his food as he replied, "Uh, yes. A dan master of grade four B or above is able to use the technique of marrow cleansing and blood exchange to convert diseased cells into normal cells. This kind of treatment is extremely safe and the patient doesn't have to suffer much. After the entire course of treatment was done, the cure rate was one hundred percent. The only drawback, is that the cost is very expensive."
"Approximately how much does it cost?" Su Mu asked.
"The entire course of treatment for marrow cleansing and blood exchange has a total of three treatments. The cost of the initial treatment is probably around 3 million. The cost of the next two treatments needs to be estimated after the first treatment is over, based on the patient's specific situation, but none of them will be less than 2 million. Moreover, the technique of marrow cleansing and blood exchange is not included in the scope of medical insurance, and all expenses are self-funded."
Sure enough it was expensive!
Even according to the lowest standard, a set of marrow cleansing and blood exchange techniques would cost more than 7 million dollars!
With such a high treatment cost, the average family simply couldn't afford it. Therefore, in this world, although there is the technique of marrow cleansing and blood exchange, many people with leukemia still choose chemotherapy and bone marrow transplantation, which are also available on Earth.
However, chemotherapy and bone marrow transplantation are not comparable to marrow transplantation in terms of safety and effectiveness!
So don't mind the more than 7 million dollars, there are people who are willing to spend this amount of money in order to live.
Su Mu also remembered that in his previous life on Earth, he had read a news story about a rich businessman who had leukemia, spent hundreds of millions of dollars, and saw all the world's famous leukemia experts, but could not be cured.
Compared to the money spent by that rich businessman, 7 million was not much, and it could still guarantee a cure.
Su Mu calculated in his mind, currently he has more than four million dollars in hand, I believe that in the afternoon there will be people who will come to buy the medicine, it is estimated that in the end he will be able to rely on the special effect refining pills and earn about five million dollars.
The first marrow cleansing and blood exchange treatment was enough, the key was those two treatments later.
So he asked, "Dr. Ma, the two treatments behind, how long is the interval between them and the first treatment?"
Dr. Ma replied, "Generally speaking, the two treatments that follow will not be a problem as long as they are carried out within a year of the initial treatment. If the initial treatment is effective, the period can be relaxed a bit more. Normally, patients who have undergone the initial treatment will have their condition greatly controlled and their body will gradually get better."
Su Mu let out a sigh of relief.
Within a year?
That would be good!
As long as he got into the Cultivation University, within a year, he would definitely be able to save up enough money for the rest of the treatment.
Not to mention, he still had the extras in hand!
Su Mu said, "Dr. Ma, please arrange for my sister's surgery for marrow cleansing and blood exchange."
"Are you sure? The first treatment, but it costs more than 3 million dollars."
On the other end of the phone, Dr. Ma obviously froze for a moment.
He was the one Su Ye had been seeking medical treatment from, so he had some understanding of the siblings' situation.
Su Mu said, "I know, I can get enough money together."
Although Dr. Ma was curious about how he scraped together the money, he didn't ask much, he just said, "Okay, once you've scraped together enough money, come to the hospital to do your hospitalization, pay the fees first, and I'll help you contact a Level 4 B Dan Master on my side."
"Okay, I know, please trouble Dr. Ma." Su Mu said, at the same time, he saw the cell phone screen prompting that Liu Peng was calling him, so he said, "Dr. Ma, I still have a call to take, I'll hang up first, thank you."
Immediately after, Su Mu hung up the phone with Dr. Ma and picked up Liu Peng's phone.
Just as the phone was connected, Liu Peng's fiery voice was heard coming out, "Ah Mu, it's not good, something happened!"
