What was Qi?
It couldn't be seen, or touched, but it really existed .
The investigation of Feng Shui and topography involved checking the Qi in one area . The Qi here meant the functional activity of Qi in a particular area .
Human beings also had Qi, which determined one's health and how long one would live .
The four diagnostic methods from ancient China, including looking, smelling, asking and checking the pulse, also involved checking one's Qi . When diagnosing a patient, the practitioner would look and observe the patient first . Looking was the most difficult diagnostic method among the four .
An excellent practitioner would be able to detect a patient's health status and illness by observing the patient .
Wang Yao brewed a decoction early in the morning . Unexpectedly, he heard the prompt from the system .
You have reached the criteria of upgrading . Would you like to upgrade your skills?
Of course, said Wang Yao in his mind .
After Wang Yao had upgraded his skills, he obtained rare skill points . He used the points on medical skills without hesitation .
Looking was to observe a patient's look, skin color, and body shape to make diagnosis .
Now, I have all four diagnostic methods .
The moment the system filled Wang Yao's head with all the knowledge, he was overwhelmed by the large amount of it . This was not the first time he had such a feeling . However, it was a bit different this time . Wang Yao had grasped almost all the theory related to the four diagnostic methods, which were both independent and related . The new knowledge would, together with Wang Yao's existing knowledge, make him an even better medical practitioner .
Wang Yao felt his medical skills had improved again, not in one area, but overall .
A car with came into the village . Two people were in the car .
"Is this the place?" asked a man sitting in it .
"I think so," replied the driver .
"Where exactly is the clinic?" asked one of the two people, a young man .
"We can ask around," his friend said .
"Don't . Have you forgotten what happened last time? We should keep it to ourselves," the young man responded .
"Why? This is no big deal . Let me make a phone call," his friend suggested .

They parked their car at the center of the village for at least one hour .
"I know now . His clinic is located at the southern end of the village," said his friend after hanging up the phone .
The car left when it was nearly 11 a . m . for the southern end of the village .
"Look, someone's here for Wang Yao again," said a villager .
The villagers had gotten used to vehicles from outside .
"Well, the house looks nice," the young man said . "Let me take a look . "
The door of the car opened . A young man came out of it . He had very short hair and had a cigarette in his mouth . He walked around Wang Yao's clinic .
His friend agreed . "It does look nice . "
At the same time, two more cars came into the village and arrived at the southern end of the village .
"What?" The young man's eyes widened as he saw the cars arriving .
Two Mercedes S class parked outside Wang Yao's clinic .
A man in his 40s got out of one of the Mercedes . He had no facial expression . His eyes looked cold .
The young man looked into his eyes briefly . He shivered with fear . He immediately looked away, as if he looked into the eyes of a snake .
What's going on here? The man with no facial expression frowned .
"What's going on?" asked the other man in the car .
"Nothing, sir," said the man with no facial expression .
Sun Zhengrong got out of the car .
"There are other people here . " He set his eyes on the car parking in front of them . "Let's go inside to take a look . "
The man with no facial expression walked ahead .
The young man from the other car thought, How come he looks so familiar?
The door of the clinic was not locked, which indicated that someone was inside .

Actually, Wang Yao had just arrived at his clinic from Nanshan Hill . He picked a few bunches of grapes, washed them clean, and was eating them .
"Hello, Dr . Wang?" Sun Zhengrong called out .
"Yes, please come in," Wang Yao said .
"How are you, Dr . Wang . " Sun Zhengrong walked into the clinic .
"I'm good, thanks, Mr . Sun," Wang Yao replied .
Sun Zhengrong didn't come by himself . He brought his son with him . Sun Yunsheng was alert at the moment .
Wang Yao thought for a while and then said, "I see, you brought Yunsheng here . "
Since Sun Yunsheng was present, Wang Yao should see him . Wang Yao had just obtained the skill of looking, so he could use it on Sun Yunsheng .
Sun Yunsheng was still skinny but alert . The only thing was that the color on his face was weird . It was scarily red .
As soon as Sun Yunsheng walked into the clinic, Wang Yao started to observe him .
In fact, the so called looking was to make a diagnosis and determine the cause of illness through observing a patient's look, facial expression, and body shape . Like in the story of Bian Que saw Cai Huan, Bian Que could tell that Cai Huan was beyond cure by looking at him from distance . Only highly skilled practitioners could achieve that .
Sun Yunsheng still had excessive Yang energy inside his body . The Yang energy in his heart was extremely excessive . The Yin energy was suppressed and couldn't develop . Even with the wonderful Frost grass, the Yang energy inside Sun Yunsheng's body could only be restrained for a short period of time .
"Yunsheng, this is Dr . Wang, who I often mention to you . It was him who brought you back to sense," said Sun Zhengrong .
"Hello, Dr . Wang, thank you . " Sun Yunsheng greeted and bowed to Wang Yao immediately .
His voice was so weak that it was like the catkins floating in the air .
This indicated that his vitality was severely damaged .
"Hello, you don't need to bow . You are too weak . Please sit down," Wang Yao said .
From observing Sun Yunsheng's look and listening to his voice, Wang Yao could tell that Sun Yunsheng was very weak and drowsy . The Yin and Yang were extremely unbalanced inside him . He was severely ill .
Sun Yunsheng's voice was soft and weak . His organs were also not functioning properly . He was like a candle in the wind that could go out anytime .
"Dr . Wang, can you please take a look at him?" Sun Zhengrong said .
"Just wait a minute," Wang Yao said .
He checked Sun Yunsheng's pulse to confirm his thoughts .

"Have you taken all the decoctions I gave you?" Wang Yao asked .
"Yes, I've taken all the decoctions three days ago," Sun Yunsheng replied .
Sun Zhengrong wouldn't come in such a hurry if he hadn't run out of decoctions .
"At the moment, I don't really have a better way to treat you . All that I can do now is to suppress the Yang energy inside your body," Wang Yao said honestly .
However, Wang Yao had actually come up with a different treatment method, which had to be accomplished by a high-quality acupuncture treatment . Wang Yao didn't have good acupuncture skill at this stage .
"I see . Can you give us more decoction?" Sun Zhengrong asked .
"Okay, just a minute," Wang Yao said .
It was simple to make the decoction, which only contained Frost grass and ancient spring water .
"By the way, these grapes are from my garden . Try them . They taste quite nice," Wang Yao said .
Brewing the decoction was a straightforward process, but the timing was not good . Wang Yao brewed the last two decoctions for Sun Yunsheng at night when he was on Nanshan Hill . Yin energy was strong at night . He needed the aura on Nanshan Hill . These two prerequisites were important . Without them, the decoction wouldn't be that effective .
"The timing is not good now . Can you come back tomorrow to take the decoction?" Wang Yao asked .
"Timing is not good for brewing the decoction?" Sun Yunsheng was confused .
"Yes . You have excessive Yang energy inside your body, so you need herbs with strong Yin energy to balance the Yang energy . The herb I'm using to treat you has strong Yin energy, but I should brew the decoction at night," Wang Yao explained .
"I didn't expect it to be so complicated . Well, we should leave then and come back to you tomorrow," Sun Yunsheng said . .
Wang Yao confirmed the plan . Then, Sun Zhengrong left with his son .
"Hey, they've gone . What are you looking at?" asked the young man, who was still lingering outside Wang Yao's clinic .
"Two Mercedes," his friend said .
"I know . I'm neither blind nor stupid," the young man replied .
"I know the person in the Mercedes," his friend said .
"I don't believe you . Who is he? Your uncle?" the young man joked .
"I wish . I think his name is Sun Zhengrong," his friend said .
"What Rong? Who is he?" the young man asked .
"He is the richest person in Dao," his friend stated .
"Really? But the car plates are from Dao," the young man said .
"Yes, I believe so," his friend responded .
"What did he come to this isolated village for?" the young man asked .
"Haven't you seen him entering the clinic?" his friend questiongly responded .
Both of them looked at the clinic with the black roof and white walls .
"So, Sun Zhengrong came to look for him," the young man said .
"Exactly . Who the hell is he?" his friend wondered .
"Anyway, it's lunch time . Let's grab some food," the young man said .
They left in their car and went to the restaurant in the village next door .
"Hey, what do you think is on our boss's mind? We are hooligans who don't mind getting our hands dirty . Why the hell did he want us to keep an eye on someone to see if he does anything illegal? Shouldn't that be the police or a private detective's job? We are gonna be laughed at if people know what we are doing now," the friend said .
"Stop complaining . Let's go there again after lunch, then we can leave this place," the young man replied .
They drove to Wang Yao's village again in the afternoon . This time, they were not that silly . They parked the car somewhere inside the village and pretended to be two travelers . They even went up to a hill next to the village, where they could see the courtyard of Wang Yao's clinic .
"Well, I really don't know why we are doing this . "
The two of them squatted on the hill smoking .
"We just need to keep an eye on him," the young man said .
"Well, It's not easy to make a living nowadays . You know what, why not throw something like drugs into his courtyard, then call the police?" his friend responded .
"Good idea!" the young man said . He then asked, "See? Why hasn't our boss thought about this?"
"Let's go," his friend urged .
The two of them went down the hill . However, they happened to bump into Wang Yao, who had just left the clinic . They stopped immediately, like two primary school students getting caught doing something naughty .
Who are they?
Wang Yao was surprised to see two unfamiliar faces .
