Chapter 487 485: A Thunderous Reputation

"I heard he's very busy in Di Yang, so it'll be difficult for him to find time to see patients..."

"You know of him too?" Liu Guangyuan looked at Mu Lin. He had initially taken Mu Lin for a charlatan from the Jianghu, so he was surprised that Mu Lin had even heard of Liao Boguang.

'Even if he is a charlatan,' Liu Guangyuan thought, 'at least he's one who's done his homework.'

Mu Lin smiled. "In the Daxia Medical Community, he's the most renowned figure after the three old grandmasters. Anyone in our field would know of him."

Seeing Mu Lin speak so positively of Liao Boguang, Liu Guangyuan figured he wasn't some quack and might actually be credible.

He then said, "That's right, it's Liao the Saint Hand. I'm actually on my way to greet him now!"

He said to Xu Tianming, "I'll speak with Elder Liao later and see if he has any time. If he's willing to treat your parents, I'll give you a call... I'm just trying to get you an opportunity; I can't make any promises."

Xu Tianming said, "Don't worry, Doctor Liu. I understand. Life and death are determined by fate. All I can do is fulfill my duty as a son."

Liu Guangyuan let out a long sigh. "Fulfilling that duty won't be easy. You need to be prepared—Elder Liao's fees are exorbitant, much higher than even the most skilled doctors in the hospital."

Xu Tianming said, "I understand! Doctor Liu, my parents' lives are in your hands!"

Liu Guangyuan hurried away. Xu Tianming let out a long sigh. "Liao the Saint Hand is the only National Medical Master who is currently active in public. People are flocking to him for treatment. I wonder if he'll even give me the time of day."

"Money isn't the issue. Our family's company is worth a full ten billion. We can afford his fees no matter what!"

Mo Cangsong, standing to the side, sighed with emotion. "Liao Boguang is truly powerful. The titles of National Medical Master and Saint Hand aren't just for show. The governor of Nanjiang Province once personally addressed him as Doctor Liao, and as a result, that name became even more widespread than 'Saint Hand'."

"If he agrees to treat them, your parents' injuries can definitely be healed."

Xu Tianming sighed. "But I don't know him! What can I possibly do to convince him to help?"

Mu Lin said, "Stop worrying about it. Let's go greet Doctor Liao, too."

The others exchanged glances. 'The nerve of this guy. *You're* going to greet Doctor Liao? Who do you think you are?'

'Look at Liu Guangyuan's status—he's an attending physician.'

'And who the hell are you?!'

'You think *you're* qualified to greet him?'

Mu Lin saw their expressions and was a bit puzzled. "Why is everyone looking at me like that? Isn't it perfectly normal for me to see an old friend?"

The others were stunned. "Mr. Mu, you know Doctor Liao?"

Mu Lin smiled. "Yes, we've met."

Mo Cangsong opened his mouth, but not a single word came out.

He was incredibly excited. He had been searching for a famous doctor to treat his own illness, but with no success.

'A master like Liao Boguang has his schedule packed to the brim. He's sure to prioritize acquaintances, friends, and family.'

'Without connections, you can forget about getting an appointment. Or maybe if you bribe someone close to him, you might get moved up the list.'

'Otherwise, don't even think about it.'

'Mu Lin is actually an old friend of Liao Boguang's. Could he help me get a chance?'

'Unfortunately, that little brat Mo Yu made things extremely awkward with Mu Lin.' Mo Cangsong felt he couldn't bring himself to ask.

Xu Tianming, however, had no such reservations. He walked right up and said casually:

"Mr. Mu, could you please help me ask Liao the Saint Hand to save my parents!"

Mu Lin thought for a moment. "I'm afraid that won't work. Elder Liao can't resolve your parents' injuries. In the end, I'll probably have to be the one to take care of it."

Mo Cangsong thought, 'This guy is laying it on thick. He's basically saying his medical skills are leagues above Liao the Saint Hand's.'

'If you're so amazing, why are you still a nobody?'

'What a joke!'

Xu Tianming, however, felt differently. The first time he met Mu Lin, he had questioned him, only to be proven wrong by Mu Lin's incredible skill.

Now, he didn't dare question Mu Lin's abilities.

Mu Lin couldn't care less what they thought. Whether they believed him or not had no impact on his life.

Mu Lin spread his divine sense and immediately saw Liao Boguang walking from the main entrance toward the hospital, flanked by a group of eager doctors.

Mu Lin said, "Let's go downstairs."

Mu Lin led the way with Gu Qiang walking quietly by his side. Xu Tianming followed closely behind them, and after a moment's hesitation, Mo Cangsong hurried to catch up.

'Even if it's the slimmest of chances, I have to seize it with everything I've got!'

When they got downstairs, Mu Lin saw a crowd of people from a distance, swarming around Liao Boguang with immense enthusiasm.

To many, Liao Boguang represented an opportunity. If they could get on the good side of this medical titan, even the smallest bit of favor from him could set them up for life.

The dean, Chen Bai, had already reached retirement age, but his superiors, recognizing his considerable skills, had hired him back. He was now enthusiastically enjoying a second spring in his medical career.

He was currently the most enthusiastic person greeting Liao Boguang, as he was desperate to achieve a few more significant accomplishments before his final retirement.

Liao Boguang said slowly, "I heard all the way in Beijing that you've had new breakthroughs here in Di Yang. Dean Chen, you truly have a knack for management. It's not easy to get so many talented doctors to focus on their work."

Chen Bai was very pleased to hear this and said with excitement:

"It's all thanks to Elder Liao's brilliant guidance. My staff tells me that several projects were inspired by just a single remark from you. You're the real hero here!"

Liao Boguang recognized the flattery but was pleased nonetheless. He laughed heartily. "Not at all, not at all! You all are the ones who ultimately brought the projects to fruition!"

"Besides, I'm getting old. I won't be doing this for much longer. The future belongs to the young. Speaking of which, I believe Nanjiang's Medical Dao is on the verge of a great leap forward!"

Dean Chen said, "Oh? Elder Liao, what makes you say that?"

Seeing Dean Chen's confused expression, Liao Boguang chuckled. "You really don't know? I suppose he is quite low-key. If I hadn't witnessed his skills with my own eyes, I never would have known how powerful he is."

"Here in your Nanjiang, there's a young man, younger even than your grandson, whose medical skills surpass my own. He might even be on par with the three grandmasters..."

"In time, once those three are gone, he will be the undisputed number one Divine Doctor in all of Da Xia!"

Liao Boguang spoke with great excitement, but Dean Chen was completely dumbfounded.

'Someone like that actually exists?'

The doctors following behind were also bewildered.

'If there were such a person in Nanjiang, how could we not know about him? The medical community here isn't that large; he should have been discovered long ago!'

'And to be praised by Liao Boguang himself... this person cannot be underestimated.'

Liao Boguang looked up at the sky and said with a wistful sigh, "To be honest, the whole reason I came to Nanjiang was to find him. I have a patient I can't cure, and I was hoping he could take a look."

Dean Chen was shocked. For Liao Boguang to say such a thing was to admit his own inadequacy.

'But Liao Boguang has always been so proud. How could he say something so self-defeating?'

And yet, he had said it...

'This must mean Liao Boguang has truly encountered an unsolvable problem.'

Everyone wondered what kind of person could possibly surpass Liao Boguang.

Dean Chen, however, grew excited. He had spotted another opportunity for advancement. "Elder Liao, could you introduce me to him? I'm so eager to see what this remarkable young man is like!"

Liao Boguang laughed heartily. "Of course! Absolutely no problem!"

Having received a positive reply, Dean Chen felt immensely relieved. He said:

"We shouldn't just stand around out here, it's too hot. Why don't we head to my office to cool down? I can help you figure out how to find him."

Liao Boguang agreed and began walking forward slowly. The group headed toward the elevator.

Just then, the elevator doors opened. Hearing the chime, Liao Boguang subconsciously glanced over.

He was stunned. In an instant, his astonishment turned to elation. "Divine Doctor Mu!"

His cry startled Dean Chen and all the doctors with him.

The third-ranked Divine Doctor in Da Xia was calling someone else "Divine Doctor." What a novel sight!

After all, Doctor Liao was known for not even showing special deference to the three grandmasters.

Pulling strings with him was out of the question.

This could only mean one thing: this man was the target of Doctor Liao's trip—Mu Lin!
