"Don't worry about Wang Yao for now . No rush, we can deal with him later," Li Yaosheng said .
"Why?" Li Shaoyang asked .
Li Shaoyang wanted revenge on Wang Yao . He couldn't keep his mind off it all day and night, even when he was having dinner . He dreamed about torturing Wang Yao, who knelt down to beg him in his dream . Suddenly, his father asked him not to worry about Wang Yao . He couldn't accept it . He couldn't wait, not for one day . He was angry every single day . He thought he would be depressed if he didn't pay back Wang Yao .
"You!" Li Yaosheng gave his son a hard look .
He would have slapped Li Shaoyang's face if he had not been ill . Although he was angry with his son, he had to put up with his son, who looked like a drug addict . He didn't want to slap his son to death .
"Well, how come I have a son like you!" Li Yaosheng breathed a big sigh .
Some people were heroes, but their sons were useless . All Li Yaosheng could do now was sigh .
He wished his wife didn't give birth to Li Shaoyang .
…
It was sunny in the morning . Autumn had arrived at the end of August . It was quite cool in the morning and evening but a bit hot at noon .
Wang Yao was on Nanshan Hill inside his Spirit Gathering battle array .
He started to prepare the herbs for the Muscle Revitalizing powder .
Red Vaseline, litharge powder, licorice, fritillary, Everlasting grass, Lingshanji, Angelica . . .
By the time Wang Yao had gotten all the herbs ready, the sun was shining up high in the sky .
The Yang energy had reached its peak .
However, it was nice and cool inside the Spirit Gathering battle array .
Crackle! The flame danced on top of the firewood . Wang Yao added more firewood from time to time and kept an eye on the changes in the multifunctional pot .
He put the herbs into the pot one by one .

Everlasting grass was able to settle the organs, repair damage, and enhance vitality . Lingshanji was able to remove toxins inside the body, facilitate muscle growth, and reduce pain .
These two licorice roots played a vital role in Muscle Revitalizing powder . They were considered to have medium quality among licorice roots .
After Wang Yao had put Lingshanji into the pot, the liquid started to become sticky . The last herb he put into the pot was Guiyuan, which enabled all the herbs to work together and balance Ying and Yang .
It was not Wang Yao's first time to brew Muscle Revitalizing powder . He was still careful with each step of the process . Each time his skills improved, he gained new insight .
Wang Yao had finished brewing the decoction when it was close to noon .
He put the decoction into two porcelain bottles . One was diluted . The other was not .
The decoction was for Su Xiaoxue .
Now, he had another decoction to brew . He stood up to stretch his body . He then took a look outside .
It's time for lunch .
As Wang Yao arrived at his clinic, he found someone was sneaking around it .
It was a young man in his 20s . He wore decent clothes but was peeping into the courtyard over the wall .
"Hey, what are you doing there?" Wang Yao shouted .
"Ah!"
Wang Yao was startled after the young man turned his head around . He had a huge scar on his face that looked like dry tree bark . It was not too bad to have a scar like this on other parts of the body . Unfortunately, the scar was on his face, which looked scary .
"Hello . I'm here to look for someone . " The young man was embarrassed .
"Who are you looking for?" Wang Yao asked .
"I'm looking for Dr . Wang," the young man said .

"Dr . Wang? What do you need him for?" Wang Yao was surprised, wondering if the young man was here for him .
"I just want to see him . I'm not well," the young man said .
"You are not well? What's wrong with you?" Wang Yao asked .
Wang Yao took a close look at the young man, who looked strong, was in good spirit, and had bright eyes . The young man didn't seem to be sick .
"You see, I've got this scar on my face . " The young man pointed at his scar, which was as big as a baby's palm .
"I see . Is it a birthmark?" Wang Yao half joked .
"It is not a birthmark . It was caused by a fire burn . I heard that there is a wonderful doctor here called Dr . Wang, so here I am," the young man said .
"A wonderful doctor? Who told you?" Wang Yao asked .
"I just heard it from someone," the young man said .
"Alright, please come in," Wang Yao said as he opened the door .
"You… You are Dr . Wang?" the young man said with surprise .
"Yes . " Wang Yao replied .
"Hello, my name is Yao Shan . I'm 28 years old . I live in Riverside town, Willow Creek village," the young man said .
"Okay, okay . You don't need to tell me so many details," Wang Yao said .
The young man entered the clinic . He thought the courtyard looked quite nice .
"You want to have the scar removed?" Wang Yao asked as soon as they sat down .
"Yes . "
Yao Shan nodded . His life had been rough because of the scar . He had a degree but couldn't find a proper job . He also had difficulty getting a girlfriend . No one would want to marry someone with such a big scar on their face . In addition, he didn't have much money .

Wang Yao had a close look at the young man, who actually was quite good looking . He had big eyes and bushy eyebrows and a Grecian nose . The scar destroyed his face .
"Let me see . "
Wang Yao took a close look at the big scar on Yao Shan's left cheek . It was a bit unusual to have a scar caused by burn on that area .
"Have you been to any hospitals?" Wang Yao asked .
The medical technology was quite advanced nowadays, so some scars could be removed .
"Yes, but the doctors there couldn't remove it," Yao Shan replied .
In fact, Yao Shan was not telling the truth . He had been to a hospital in Shanghai . The doctor there told him that his scar could be removed, but the cost was very high . He thought about it for a long time and eventually gave up .
"Well, leave your contact number . I need to think about how to remove your scar," Wang Yao said after examining the scar .
"Okay, thank you," Yao Shan said .
"I just have one more question," Wang Yao said, looking into the young man's eyes . "Who told you to come here to see me?"
"Well, I'm sorry I can't tell you," Yao Shan said .
"Never mind . Go back for now, but don't tell anyone else about me and this clinic . " Wang Yao said as he shook his hand .
"Okay, thank you . " Yao Shan stood up after thanking Wang Yao again .
After Yao Shan left, Wang Yao took out his notebook to document Yao Shan's condition .
Yao Shan suffered a burn on his face, which was exposed all the time . The burn had healed and left a big scar . The muscles underneath the scar couldn't return to what they were like before the burn . This was the first time Wang Yao had come across a condition like this, which was different that Su Xiaoxue's condition . She had ulcers all over her body because of the toxins inside her body . Yao Shan's scar was due to external factor .
It won't be easy to remove the scar .
If Wang Yao could have seen Yao Shan right after the burn, he probably could have applied Muscle Revitalizing powder to the burn area . Muscle Revitalizing powder would be able to prevent the formation of a big ugly scar . However, the wound had healed . Wang Yao had to use special methods to remove the scar .
Maybe I should cut the scar open?
Wang Yao wrote down his thoughts in the notebook .
While Wang Yao was having lunch, he received a call from Zhou Xiong, who told him he was bringing his son to Lianshan . He also told Wang Yao that Sang Guzi had come with them . Zhou Xiong wanted to visit Wang Yao the next day, so he asked if he was available .
"Yes, I'm available . See you tomorrow," Wang Yao said .
He didn't expect Sang Guzi to also come to Lianshan . Wang Yao appreciated Sang Guzi's medial skills, as well as his moral character .
Pan Jun visited Wang Yao in the afternoon at his clinic .
"Hello . Welcome . You don't need to bring me anything . " Wang Yao felt awkward when he saw the gifts in Pan Jun's hand .
"Hello . I just don't feel comfortable to come empty handed . " Pan Jun put the gifts down with a smile .
"You are not on duty today?" Wang Yao asked .
"No," Pan Jun said .
"What happened?" Wang Yao could tell that Pan Jun was not in good mood .
"Do you remember the patient I asked you to see last time?" Pan Jun asked .
"Yes, what happened?" Wang Yao asked .
"The doctors found that he had tumor inside his body when he was reviewed," Pan Jun replied .
"That is not a bad thing," Wang Yao said . He remembered that the tumor inside the patient's body had existed for a long time . If he was treated immediately, the tumor would probably not expand .
"That patient is going to have the surgery in my hospital," Pan Jun said .
"The town hospital?" Wang Yao asked with surprise .
It was not that Wang Yao looked down upon the town hospital . As a matter of fact, the town hospital was the best in Lianshan . But, it had limited recourse and the doctors there had limited medical skills . Patients suffering from severe illness would normally go to Zhu or Wei . Only a handful of patients would go to the town hospital, let alone go for the surgical removal of a tumor, which was considered a major operation .
"If I am right, not many patients with tumors are treated in your hospital," Wang Yao said .
"You are right . We have some patients having chemotherapy but not surgery," Pan Jun replied .
"Well, does the surgery have anything to do with you?" Wang Yao asked .
