Chapter 461: 461
Their catch-up was awkward . Wang Yao didn’t know how to describe his feeling . They had started to become a bit estranged . An invisible wall started to exist between them . This awkward feeling was sudden and came out of nowhere .

It was because of Tong Wei . Wang Yao didn’t know what had happened to her in Dao to cause the change . He wanted to have a good talk with her, but it seemed she had changed and was hiding something from him .
Maybe I should wait . He decided not to talk to Tong Wei yet .
Tong Wei called Wang Yao at lunchtime . She didn’t invite him to her apartment . She was not in a good mood and preferred to stay alone .
She needed to have a good think about her relationship with Wang Yao . As for the reason, only she knew .
Tong Wei was rushing through her trip to Lianshan . She spoke to Wang Yao on the phone but didn’t meet with him face to face .
What’s wrong with me? She kept asking herself the same question .
Wang Yao didn’t seem to care much . He thought, Let it be .
He actually wanted to ask Tong Wei what was happening . He even wanted to go to Dao . However, he decided to wait .
The car was running fast on the highway .
“Wei, what happened?” Tong Wei’s colleague asked in a low voice .
Tong Wei was looking out the car window . She seemed to be preoccupied . There was nothing worth viewing outside . Along both sides of the highway were continuous fields . It was winter, so there was nothing in the fields . They looked deserted .
“Nothing,” Tong Wei said .
“I think you’ve got something on your mind . You were like this when you were in Dao . How was your catch-up with your boyfriend?” her colleague asked .
“Nothing special . ” Tong Wei didn’t seem to pay attention to what her colleague said .
Wang Yao was standing on top of Nanshan Hill looking far away . Although Nanshan Hill was not very big, he could see fairly far from Nanshan .
San Xian was standing next to him, wagging his tail .
“San Xian, I really don’t know women,” Wang Yao said .
Woof! Woof!

San Xian barked twice .
“Maybe I didn’t take the initiative?” Wang Yao wondered .
He spent the whole morning in the cold wind . He sat on a square rock looking out . It seemed like he was trying to figure out the mystery of the sky and earth .
While he was having some quality time on the hill, someone was waiting for him outside the clinic anxiously .
Lu Xian had arrived at the village early in the morning . As suggested by Wang Yao, he should have fully recovered by now . He had been feeling well the past few days . Even the occasional stomach pain had gone . He wanted to see Wang Yao to confirm that he had fully recovered . However, he had waited for nearly two hours .
Maybe he won’t come to the clinic today?
He didn’t want to waste his time . Plus, he had come all the way to the village with good expectations . So, he decided to wait . It was almost lunchtime . He was starving . Then, he saw Wang Yao coming down from the hill slowly .
Finally! Lu Xian let out a big sigh of relief .
Who is waiting for me? Wang Yao didn’t expect someone to wait for him at this time of the day .
“Hello,” Wang Yao said .
“Hello, Dr . Wang,” Lu Xian said .
“When did you get here?” Wang Yao asked .
“About two hours ago,” Lu Xian said .
“I’m sorry to have kept you waiting,” Wang Yao said .
“That’s alright,” Lu Xian said .
Wang Yao unlocked the door and invited Lu Xian into the clinic .
“How have you been feeling lately?” Wang Yao asked .
“I feel much better . I’ve taken all the decoctions you gave me . As you suggested the other day, I should be fully recovered by now . That’s why I’m here,” Lu Xian replied .

“Okay, let me take a look,” Wang Yao said .
He did a thorough check of Lu Xian .
“Hmm, I’m very happy with your recovery . All the parasites in your body have been removed . You are fine now,” Wang Yao said .
“Really?” Lu Xian was thrilled .
“Yes,” Wang Yao said .
“Thank you . Thank you very much!” Lu Xian cried with joy .
It had been a tough time for Lu Xian . The pain in his body was not the worst . The stress caused by this disease was worse than the physical pain . He had been anxious all the time . He often had nightmares in which he vomited blood and fell onto the bed . In his dreams, his family was desperate about his death . He often woke up sweating with horror .
Since he came to see Wang Yao, his condition had been improving gradually . When he heard the good news now, he was in tears .
Wang Yao didn’t say anything . He just looked at him quietly . He understood how Lu Xian felt . Like Wei Hai, Lu Xian initially thought he was beyond cure since his condition had gotten worse day by day . He thought he was going to die . Eventually, he miraculously recovered . From desperation to joy, no one knew better than Lu Xian .
“You still need to be careful with your diet . Your body still needs to be regulated,” Wang Yao said .
“Sure, thank you,” Lu Xian replied .
He couldn’t stop thanking Wang Yao . After a while, he left the clinic .
Another one has been cured .
The deadline for the mission related to curing people with tricky conditions was in one month . He hadn’t even completed half of the mission .
Meanwhile, Lun Hengran was in a hospital in Beijing .
“Doctor, can you take another look at me?” Lun Hengran asked .
“I’m not sure if I can help you,” the doctor replied .

Plump! Lun Hengran sat on the ground . His eyes were dark . It was as if someone had taken his soul .
In the past few days, from Lianshan to Wei, then to the capital city of the province, Lun Hengran had been to more than 10 hospitals and seen a number of specialists for the boils and scaly skin . None of the doctors could help him . In the end, he came to Beijing . This was not the answer he had expected .
This was pretty much the best hospital in China . The doctor in front of him was pretty much the best doctor specialized in skin conditions .
“Well, I’ll introduce a doctor to you . You can go to see him . ” The doctor wrote a name down on a piece of paper .
“OK, thanks!” Lun Hengran expressed his gratitude before leaving .
“Doctor, his condition?” asked the medical student sitting next to the doctor .
“He had various of parasites in his body and bacterial infection . It would be really hard to treat him,” the doctor said . “Read this report . He has liver failure already . I’ve come across a similar case before . That patient loved eating snake meat . He suffered from ichthyosis and had scaly skin . It was extremely hard to treat him . ”
“Did you recommend the doctor in Lianshan to him?” the medical student asked .
“Yes, he’s good at treating conditions like this,” the doctor said as he sipped tea . “You have to admit, sometimes a traditional Chinese medical approach can cure certain conditions Western medicine couldn’t . Although our hospital is one of the best in China, not every department is the best . Some are good, and some are not so good . The other large hospitals also can’t claim that all their departments are the best in China . ”
“I see . By the way, there is a surgery booked for you in the afternoon,” the medical student said .
“OK, you can scrub in,” the doctor said .
It was a bit cold in Wang Yao’s clinic .
Zhou Wuyi’s upper body was naked . His back was filled with acupuncture needles .
Hmm, the quality of these needles are not so good, Wang Yao thought .
He used the ordinary acupuncture needles, which the shop assistant told him were silver . However, they didn’t seem to be silver .
A good horse needed a good saddle . Lu Bu had the Red Hare as his special horse for riding . He wouldn’t haven’t become one of the best generals in China’s history if he rode a donkey . He wouldn’t have been able to beat the strongest enemies .
“You can do acupuncture?” Zhou Xiong was surprised .
“I just started to learn,” Wang Yao said .
Wang Yao took his time . His hands were very steady . It was as if he was holding a block of gold instead of an acupuncture needle . He was like Shangguan Jinhong, a famous figure in a Kung Fu novel . Shangguang Jinhong’s weapon was called Dragon Phoenix Loop, the second best on the weapon list . It gained its reputation due to its steady performance, not due to its uniqueness .
Wang Yao was the same . As a doctor, he needed to have steady hands and determination, especially when providing acupuncture treatment . If he put a needle into the wrong acupuncture point with a shaky hand, a person’s life could be in jeopardy . The same principle applied to surgeons, whose hands needed to be steady when conducting an operation . They couldn’t afford to cut in the wrong place . They couldn’t stitch someone up and redo the operation . The patient would die, and the surgeon would probably be beaten to death .
“Are you cold?” Wang Yao noticed that Zhou Wuyi was shaking .
“A little,” Zhou Wuyi said .
Wang Yao transferred some Qi into Zhou Wuyi’s body . Zhou Wuyi didn’t see Wang Yao move, but he felt much warmer . He was surprised and wondered, How could this happen?
Releasing Qi to create a wall of air? This can’t be possible! Wang Yao thought .
Wang Yao spent the whole afternoon providing acupuncture and massage treatments . Zhou Wuyi and Zhou Xiong were impressed by Wang Yao’s internal power .
“Wow, I didn’t expect your internal power to become so strong at your age,” Zhou Wuyi said with a sigh .
“What?” Wang Yao asked with surprise .
“You were releasing Qi to communicate with your surroundings,” Zhou Wuyi said .
“Oh, yes, thanks to the Quanjing you gave me,” Wang Yao said .
“It would be a total waste if we kept the book,” Zhou Wuyi said .
“I have been feeling much better lately . Can I try to induce my Qi?” Zhou Wuyi asked .
“You certainly can, but your Qi is very abrupt,” Wang Yao replied .
“I actually thought a lot about the Taoism scripture,” Zhou Wuyi said .
“That’s great,” Wang Yao said .
