“You wouldn’t understand even if I told you,” said Wang Yao .
“You are right . I won’t understand . But can you make this battle array at home?” asked Wang Ru .
“I can’t do it right now . I need to borrow the power from trees and rocks to create a battle array,” said Wang Yao .
“Where did you learn all this stuff?” asked Wang Ru .
“From God . ” Wang Yao pointed at the sky with a smile .
Wang Ru left Nanshan Hill after a short while .
“I think I would have a longer lifespan if I stay up here long enough,” said Wang Ru before she left .
“You certainly would,” said Wang Yao, smiling .
Nanshan Hill had a good aura, which would have a positive impact on one’s health if one stayed there long enough . The aura would improve one’s health and make them live longer .
The construction of new road in the village had finally finished . Now the road was wider and smoother . The development of a hot spring spot was also in progress in Li Family Creek . The developer had sent people to the Li Family Creek on Saturday .
Wang Fenghua mentioned the hot spring over having dinner .
“It is a good thing,” said Wang Fenghua .
A good size of population was required to develop the area .
“Maybe we should go there and take a look one day,” suggested Wang Fenghua .
“What’s in that place now? I don’t think they’ve started to build the resort,” said Zhang Xiuying .
Wang Yao had been to Li Family Creek . His second aunt and her family lived there . Li Family Creek was actually a boring place, even more boring than Wang Family Village . Even with the discovery of hot spring, there would just be a resort . Nothing truly attractive or interesting .
Wang Yao spent some quality time with his family after dinner before going back to Nanshan Hill .
It was peaceful overnight .
The next day, Su Changhe came to Haiqu with his patient, Lu Xian, from Beijing .
“Hmmm, the air is so fresh here,” said Lu Xian .
He felt the air was much fresher in Haiqu as soon as he got out of the plane . The sky also looked farther away than it was in Beijing .
“Yes, Haiqu is a coastal city . It’s a good place to have a holiday and to live when you get old,” said Su Changhe, smiling . “Let’s go . ”
They saw someone holding a sign with their names on it as soon as they walked out of the aisle .
“Hello, Professor Su, welcome to Haiqu . I’m from Haiqu City Hospital,” said the person holding the sign .
“Hello, thank you for coming to pick us up,” said Su Changhe .
He had been to Haiqu several times .
“We’ve arranged accommodation for you . Please follow me,” said the person from Haiqu City Hospital .
“Okay, would you like to come?” Su Changhe asked Lu Xian .
“Okay,” said Lu Xian .
After Su Changhe and Lu Xian had settled at the hotel, they went to the welcome dinner arranged earlier by the hospital . Su Changhe was not keen to interact with people from the hospital, but he didn’t want to disappoint them .
He asked the hospital to provide him with a vehicle in the afternoon . Then he drove Lu Xian to Wang Yao’s clinic in Lianshan .
Wang Yao was in the clinic when they had arrived at the village .
“Hello, Dr . Wang,” greeted Su Changhe .
“Hello, Professor Su,” said Wang Yao .
“This is the patient I mentioned . And this is Dr . Wang . ” Su Changhe introduced Lu Xian to Wang Yao .
He is so young!
This was Lu Xian’s first impression of Wang Yao . Almost everyone had the same reaction when he or she met Wang Yao the first time .
“Please take a seat,” said Wang Yao .
He made a pot of tea for Su Changhe and Lu Xian .
“Let me take a look at you,” said Wang Yao .
He observed Lu Xian, listened to his voice, and paid attention to the smell of his breath .
Lu Xian looked terrible . His eyes were yellow, indicating that his liver was failing . His breathing was shallow, indicating he was lacking strength and corporeity . His breath also stunk, indicating that his organs were in disorder .
Wang Yao had basically identified Lu Xian’s problems following three methods of diagnosis, and the problems were quite big .
His last step was to check Lu Xian’s pulse .
Hmmm, his condition was really similar to Wei Hai’s
“Is it painful here?” Wang Yao pressed gently at Lu Xian’s right chest . Lu Xian had a tremor as if he had received an electric shock .
“Yes,” said Lu Xian .
“You have a big problem with your liver, and five of your organs are in disorder . Your blood flow and Qi are not running smoothly, and your corporeity is insufficient,” said Wang Yao .
System, is his condition considered hard-to-treat? Wang Yao asked the system silently and received a positive answer .
Yes, replied the system .
He had successfully cured someone with similar condition, so he had a good idea how to treat Lu Xian’s condition . He could provide a more effective treatment to Lu Xian, whose condition seemed to be better than Wei Hai’s .
“Do you like eating seafood, especially sashimi?” asked Wang Yao .
“Yes, I like eating seafood and freshwater fish,” said Lu Xian .
Wei Hai also liked eating seafood .
“Stop eating anything from the ocean and freshwater from now on,” said Wang Yao .
“Okay . ” Lu Xian nodded immediately .
“Dr . Wang, can you treat his illness?” asked Su Changhe .
“Yes . ” Wang Yao nodded .
Su Changhe’s eyes lighted .
“Can I watch and learn from you?” asked Su Changhe .
“Well…I can’t . I’m sorry,” said Wang Yao after thinking for a moment .
He didn’t mind showing Su Changhe how he would treat Lu Xian’s illness, but he would use sedge, a licorice root, which couldn’t be found anywhere else .
“That’s fine . I shouldn’t have asked,” said Su Changhe, smiling .
“I will treat your illness though two different ways . First, I need to consolidate your corporeity . Second, I need to kill the parasites,” said Wang Yao .
Su Changhe nodded . He agreed with Wang Yao . Actually, any experienced doctor would treat Lu Xian’s illness with those two methods . The question was how to kill the parasites .
“Okay, I’ll follow your instructions,” said Lu Xian .
“One more thing, the treatment fee is quite high,” said Wang Yao .
“I think I can afford it,” said Lu Xian . He was not super rich, but he wouldn’t mind spending several millions if he could be cured . In fact, he would spend all the money he had .
“Okay, wait for me here, I’ll brew a decoction for you,” said Wang Yao .
He only had half of a leaf of sedge in the cabinet of the system, but it was enough for Lu Xian to take for the first time .
A half leaf of sedge, several pieces of ganoderma, licorice, and a bit of ginseng formed the decoction .
It didn’t take long to brew this decoction .
Su Changhe and Lu Xian were waiting in the room .
In less than an hour, Wang Yao had finished brewing the decoction and poured it into the porcelain bottle .
“Try this first, see if it works,” said Wang Yao .
Lu Xian took a small cup of the decoction .
The decoction was warm . It was like a warm current running into Lu Xian’s stomach . At first, Lu Xian didn’t feel much different . After over 10 minutes, he started to experience pain underneath his right chest .
Shush! What’s is this?
“Do you feel anything?” Wang Yao noticed the change in Lu Xian’s facial expression .
“Yes, I feel warm here, and a bit painful . ” Lu Xian pointed at his right chest .
“I see . This is normal . Just wait it out a bit longer,” said Wang Yao .
Su Changhe was talking to Wang Yao while waiting for Lu Xian . At the beginning Lu Xian was able to join the conversation, but the pain gradually got worse . Lu Xian was sweating .
“Is the pain really bad?” asked Wang Yao .
“Yes,” said Lu Xian .
“Come here, let me give you a massage,” said Wang Yao .
He gently massaged Lu Xian’s right chest to reduce his pain .
The pain had reduced, but Lu Xian started to feel nauseous . Something in his stomach was coming up .
“Sorry, I have to go to the toilet,” said Lu Xian .
Wang Yao showed him where the toilet was . Lu Xian rushed out of the room .
Lu Xian threw up everything he ate this morning, along with blood clots . He kept vomiting until nothing was left in his stomach .
After he had finished vomiting, he returned to the clinical room and told what had happened to Wang Yao . His face turned white after vomiting . He looked terrible .
“You’ve started to expel the parasites out of your body,” said Wang Yao . “However, you are too weak . I’ll give you a different decoction to take when you go back . The decoction will consolidate your corporeity,” said Wang Yao .
The decoction he gave Lu Xian was an alternative based on Regather soup . He didn’t put any licorice root in it, but it was still quite effective .
“The decoction I have you was for a course of treatment . I’ve written down how to take it for you,” said Wang Yao .
“Thank you, how much is it?” asked Lu Xian .
Wang Yao thought for a while .
“The Regather soup is not expensive . However, this one costs a lot . ” He pointed at the porcelain bottle containing sedge .
“How much?” asked Lu Xian .
According to the price given by the system, a half leaf of sedge could cost at least 10 thousand .
“10 thousand,” said Wang Yao .
So expensive!
Although Lu Xian had prepared to pay a high price for the treatment, he and Su Changhe were both surprised to hear the price .
“Okay, no problem . ” Lu Xian gave Wang Yao the payment after hesitating for a moment .
“Look, you can pay me five thousand today . If the decoction works, you can pay me the rest later . ” Wang Yao could tell that Lu Xian doubted about whether the decoction was worth that much money .
“That’s fine . I believe in Professor Su . ” Lu Xian transferred the money right away .
He and Su Changhe spent nearly three hours in Wang Yao’s clinic .
“Thank you,” said Wang Yao .
“I hope to come here often in the future to discuss some cases . Are you okay with that?” asked Su Changhe . During the last three hours, he and Wang Yao had discussed some difficult cases . He found that Wang Yao had profound knowledge of Traditional Chinese Medicine . He was very impressed . Wang Yao was in his 20’s, but he had knowledge that could only be possessed by a 70 year old highly experienced practitioner .
