"Dietary therapy," Lin Fan said slowly. "Your body's condition is caused by long-term alcoholism. It has taken a long time to develop, and it will naturally take a long time to cure completely."
"From today onwards, you must not drink any more alcohol. Every day, you need to eat foods containing spiritual energy, mainly green vegetables, along with my prescription."
Zheng Tong was very confused. "Where can I find such food? And what is spiritual energy?"
Lin Fan smiled faintly. "It's just locally grown vegetables, wild vegetables are best. Look around here, there's plenty of this kind of thing."
A bodyguard scoffed, "Boss, he's trying to fool you!"
"What nutrition can these rotten wild vegetables have? Can eating them cure diseases? If that were true, wouldn't everyone in their village live to be a hundred?"
"Most likely he wants you to invest. Spiritual energy? Never heard of it. Nonsense!"
Zheng Tong frowned. From a common-sense perspective, Lin Fan's claims were undoubtedly absurd.
But his diagnosis was accurate!
"Doctor Lin, my subordinate said this. Do you have anything to say?" Zheng Tong asked tentatively.
Lin Fan smiled. "Mr. Zheng is an intelligent man. Is there a need for coded language? You know better than anyone else how to choose."
Zheng Tong couldn't find a better doctor, so he could only choose to believe Lin Fan.
Even if he was trying to cheat him out of money, Zheng Tong couldn't do anything about it.
Lin Fan wasted no more time and wrote out a prescription. "Most of the medicinal herbs in this list can be bought. However, I recommend you go to Wan Hetang in the city. I have some connections with their owner."
Zheng Tong was surprised. "Are you advertising for him?"
"Old Mr. Sun is a good person. You'll know when you go."
Lin Fan was not at all reserved. Sun Yinglun had helped him, so he naturally wanted to reciprocate.
"Doctor Lin, how much is the consultation fee this time?"
"Take the medicine for half a month first. If you feel a noticeable improvement in your health, then we'll discuss the money."
Seeing Lin Fan's confident demeanor, Zheng Tong was very impressed.
"Doctor Lin is generous, and I should not be stingy. Here is two hundred thousand, please accept it."
A bodyguard carried a briefcase and placed it in front of Lin Fan.
Upon opening the case, twenty stacks of bills lay neatly inside.
"This..."
Lin Fan hesitated, feeling it was too much.
Although Zheng Tong was clearly wealthy, Lin Fan was not a greedy person.
"Please accept it, Doctor Lin."
Zheng Tong picked up the prescription and turned to leave, giving Lin Fan no chance to refuse.
In the car, the driver couldn't help but say, "Boss, I think this doctor is a bit strange, not like a proper doctor!"
The bodyguard in the passenger seat chimed in, "Yeah, look at how eager he is for money. He doesn't look like a good person at all!"
Zheng Tong smiled magnanimously. "Don't worry. The monk can run away, but the temple can't. Besides, he does seem to have some skill. Let's trust him this time."
At the clinic, Lin Fang gave Lin Fan a thumbs-up. "You're amazing! In just over ten minutes, you earned two hundred thousand!"
She then said shyly, "I underestimated you before. I thought you were a bumpkin and looked down on you. I was wrong to judge you by your appearance."
"If you want to pursue me, I can consider dating you."
Lin Fan chuckled, finding it both amusing and awkward that this girl would express her interest in such a blunt way.
He gently shook his head. "I'm sorry, I'm not considering anything along those lines."
Being directly rejected, Lin Fang could understand. In fact, she was just trying her luck.
"I have things to do, I'll be going now. See you tomorrow."
Feeling awkward, Lin Fan left first.
Song Mengling scolded, "Lin Fang, what's wrong with you? How could you say such shameless things? You've completely embarrassed us women!"
Lin Fang was unconcerned. "Look at Lin Fan. Although he's a bit rustic, his medical skills are incredible! He'll be a hot commodity in the city, and countless women will be after him!"
"Vulgar."
Song Mengling was different. She only pursued true love and didn't care about money.

The previously planted medicinal herbs had all been destroyed, leaving the fields in a mess.
Lin Fan came here and tidied up a bit.
He pondered what to do in the future.
This wasn't the first time he had seen something like this.
After much thought, he came up with a plan.
He decided to establish a spiritual herb garden and put Old Man Zhang in charge of guarding it.
He went to the village committee and shared his idea with Xia Xue.
Xia Xue agreed and immediately arranged for someone to fence off a spiritual herb garden within the medicinal herb planting base, then asked Old Man Zhang to come and understand the situation.
A small thatched hut was to be built next to the spiritual herb garden, where Old Man Zhang would patrol daily.
Old Man Zhang was nearing seventy, and his wife had died early.
This job was perfect for him.
Upon arriving at the spiritual herb garden, Old Man Zhang was stunned. "These... how have these herbs grown so tall?"
Of course, he didn't know that Lin Fan had secretly watered them with spiritual liquid.
"Perhaps it's the season."

The next day, Lin Fan went to Hetang Village.
His purpose was to check on the situation after the factory had ceased operations.
Upon arrival, Lin Fan was overjoyed.
There had been an unpleasant odor before, and the river water was somewhat polluted. Now, it had become very clear.
He could even see fish swimming around, though they were small, no thicker than his finger, and not even enough to fill a gap in his teeth.
However, with time, they would surely grow larger.
Looking at the fish swimming in the water, Lin Fan fell into deep thought.
"Fish... raising fish..."
"That's right! I can raise fish!"
Lin Fan suddenly had an idea.
The villagers had relied on farming for generations. Occasionally, someone with innovative ideas would emerge, leading them to grow fruits, but the results were mediocre.
No sooner said than done!
Lin Fan activated his dantian, circulating his spiritual energy, and cast the Holy Water Technique!
This spell was something he had mastered the previous month, and it was just the right time to use it.
A surge of energy was injected into the Yinxi River, creating a large vortex in the middle of the river.
The vortex continuously absorbed flowing water from upstream.
Below the vortex, a large amount of clear water appeared.
The Yinxi River, originally seven to eight meters wide, gradually expanded to over ten meters. It seemed as if a new water source had been born out of nowhere, flowing powerfully.
This scene was comparable to a torrential rain!
As Lin Fan retracted his sword fingers, the surging river water calmed down.
At this pace, it was definitely feasible!
However, it would take some time to build a reservoir.
Raising fish wasn't as simple as just wanting to. The main issue was the space.
The reservoir didn't need to be very large, about two to three meters deep and four to five mu in size would suffice.
