Chapter 3

After closing the door, Joseph looked at Matthew respectfully and said, "I'm Joseph Harrison. May I ask for your name, sir?"

"I'm Matthew Larson."

"So you're Mr. Larson!" Taking a deep breath, Joseph glanced at Natalie who was lying on the bed and he asked softly, "Do you still need any help, Mr. Larson?"

Matthew was silent for a while before he suddenly grabbed a pen and paper and scribbled some details on it. "Please get me some herbs!" Matthew handed the prescription to him and started digging into his pockets, but could only come up with a few tens in notes.

Feeling awkward, Matthew knew that there were many valuable and expensive herbs written on the prescription. If he could get everything on the list, it would cost more than two thousand. With this little money that he had, it was barely enough to cover the cost of anything.

Seeing his situation, Joseph quickly took the written direction from him and said in a shaky voice, "Mr. Larson, my words still carry some weight in this pharmacy, so you don't have to pay for these herbs!" Matthew gazed at him and nodded slowly as he expressed his gratitude to Joseph. "Thank you, Mr. Harrison, but I don't want to be indebted to people. Please get ten portions of each herb for me and I'll let you keep this prescription for your own use!"

If it was any other regular person saying this to him, Joseph would have thought that he was being disrespectful, but since it was from Matthew, he took it as if they were the words of a divine being. Apart from Matthew, no one else could have possessed the Divine Acupuncture Skill, and a casual prescription from him was simply a priceless treasure!

"Thank you, Mr. Larson!" Joseph thanked him and left hurriedly, holding on to the paper like a precious gift. Soon after, he returned with packages of different sizes in his hands. "Mr. Larson, these are the herbs which you requested. Please take a look," he said.

At a glance, Matthew could tell that Joseph was meticulous in his task; every herb was packed properly. From the scent and color of it, Matthew could tell that they were all top-grade herbs.

Besides inheriting his ancestor's lifetime knowledge from the jade pendant, Matthew also gained all of his medical experience from it. Although Matthew had never seen these herbs before, he could tell the quality with just one look.
