Chapter 509: 509
Qi Wan felt like she had just jumped into an ice cave naked . She was shivering with cold and extremely weak . The weather had a huge impact on her, so she was scared of the cold and heat .

Wang Yao pushed out with one hand . Suddenly, Qi Wan was wrapped by Wang Yao’s Qi, which was warm enough to expel the coldness from her . She soon felt much comfortable .
Given her currently condition, it was not good for her to travel in such cold weather .
Amazing! Qi Wan looked up at Wang Yao . Her feeling now was not just a delusion .
“Sit here for a while . ” Wang Yao didn’t rush into any treatment . He allowed Qi Wan some time to settle .
After about 20 minutes, he took two decoctions out .
“I brewed these decoctions for you,” Wang Yao said .
“Thank you,” Qi Wan replied .
“Don’t thank me yet . ” Wang Yao still needed to clarify one thing first . “These two decoctions are very expensive . ”
“How much?” Professor Lu asked .
“One million for each of them,” Wang Yao said .
“How much?” Qi Wan was shocked . Professor Lu was equally shocked . That amount was too much .
“One decoction costs $1 million,” Wang Yao said .
The price of the Muscle Revitalizing Powder was determined by the system . Although the other decoction was made by Wang Yao himself according to an ancient formula, he used the best herbs, including two licorice roots . Both licorice roots were of medium quality, but they were precious and rare . He believed he shouldn’t give them away easily since they could save a person’s life .
In the book of The Journey to the West, Monks who claimed to have no desire accepted gold when spreading Buddhism . They did it not because they were into wealth but because the scripture and concept they spread were too precious . They wanted people to value those things and understand how precious they were .
“You can think about it before making a decision,” Wang Yao said .
He was not the Buddha who never asked anything in return when helping people . Even if he was the Buddha, he wouldn’t help some people .
He was saving a person’s life . This could be considered the most expensive business activity in this world . A person was paying for their life .
“We’ll pay,” Professor Lu said without Qi Wan’s consent . “Can I transfer the money directly to your account?”

“Yes,” Wang Yao said .
“Well, Dr . Wang, can we pay half now? I don’t currently have enough money in my bank account,” Professor Lu said . “Don’t worry, it’s not because we don’t believe in you . ”
“No problem,” Wang Yao calmly said .
Since they had agreed to pay, Wang Yao started treatment .
Qi Wan took a small cup of Muscle Revitalizing Powder and a small cup of the other decoction . She only felt warm after taking the decoctions . She didn’t feel significantly better . Although the decoctions contained licorice roots, they were not an elixir, which could bring dead people back to life .
“Take your jacket off and lay down here,” Wang Yao said after 20 minutes .
He then gave Qi Wan a massage . He massaged different parts of her body but mainly her trunk, where the major meridians went through . He massaged the acupuncture points on those meridians repeatedly to improve her blood circulation and speed up the absorption of the decoctions . The massage therapy also stimulated Qi Wan’s body to allow self-healing .
Huh! Qi Wan felt warmer and warmer . The cold feeling had completely vanished . She also felt more alert and energetic . She felt very comfortable, which was a feeling she hadn’t had for ages . In the end, she even fell asleep and started to snore .
“I’ll get a cover for her so that she won’t catch a cold . ” Wang Yao put Qi Wan’s jacket on her and turned on the heat .
“Dr . Wang, how is she?” Professor Lu asked in a low voice .
“Let her sleep for a while . Let’s talk over there,” Wang Yao suggested .
They sat at the table in the corner . Wang Yao made Professor Lu a cup of tea .
“How is Wan?” Professor Lu asked .
“She is very unwell . I didn’t tell you the truth the other day . Actually, she is beyond cure,” Wang Yao said .
Professor Lu looked upset after hearing the news .
“To be honest, I knew she was very unwell . It just makes me really sad when you say it out,” Professor Lu said after taking a sip of tea .
Although he was drinking the high quality tea from the mountain, he could only taste bitterness . “Can you save her?”
“I’ll try my best,” Wang Yao said .

“Thank you . Let me know what you need me to do . Money is not a problem,” Professor Lu said .
The two of them sat but didn’t talk a lot . Qi Wan was sleeping soundly on the bed .
“Wan hasn’t had a good sleep for ages,” Professor Lu said .
She wasn’t frowning due to pain and looked relaxed . He hadn’t seen such facial expressions on her for a long time .
“You are amazing,” Professor Lu said .
“I’m flattered, but the treatment has just started,” Wang Yao said .
They didn’t Qi Wan wake up . By the time she woke up, it was after lunch time .
“Sorry to delay your lunch,” Professor Lu said .
“Not a problem at all,” Wang Yao said . .
“What happened to me?” Qi Wan asked after waking up .
“Wan, put on your jacket, I don’t want to you catch a cold,” Professor Lu anxiously said . He apparently cared about her very much .
“Thank you,” Qi Wan said .
“How do you feel?” Professor Lu asked .
“I feel good . I just had a big nap,” Qi Wan said .
She hadn’t been able to sleep so well for a long time . She usually woke up due to the pain . Besides the other effects of the treatment, to sleep like a baby for several hours was good enough for her .
“Great,” Professor Lu said .
“I need to go to the bathroom,” Qi Wan said .
“Walk out of the door . The bathroom is on the right hand side . Keep your jacket on,” Wang Yao said .

It didn’t take long for Qi Wan to come back .
“How do you feel?” Wang Yao asked .
“I feel much better,” Qi Wan said .
“Come back at the same time tomorrow,” Wang Yao said .
“It is already passed 1 . Sorry for keeping you for so long . How about having lunch together?” Professor Lu asked .
“No, thank you . She needs to rest . It will take time for her body to recover . She can do gentle exercises but should rest most of the time . And, she shouldn’t dine out,” Wang Yao said .
“I see, thank you,” Professor Lu replied .
“Let me check your pulse again,” Wang Yao said .
He checked Qi Wan’s pulse, which had improved a lot after the treatment . She also looked better . It was a good sign .
After walking Professor Lu and Qi Wan out of the clinic, Wang Yao closed the clinic and went home for lunch .
“You are finally back . What kept you for so long?” Zhang Xiuying asked .
“I had to see a special patient,” Wang Yao said .
“Special?” Zhang Xiuying asked while dishing up food for her son .
“Yes, her condition is pretty bad,” Wang Yao replied .
“What is her problem?” Zhang Xiuying asked .
“Her kidneys have been damaged,” Wang Yao said while helping his mother . “Where is Dad?”
“He went out to play poker,” Zhang Xiuying said .
Wang Yao chatted with his mother for a short while after lunch . He then went back to the clinic .
A woman in her 50s came to the clinic in the afternoon . She had a headache . Her son, who was in his 30s, came with her .
“Doctor, my mother has a headache, can you please take a look at her?” the son asked .
Wang Yao took a close look at the woman . “She has mild thrombosis in her brain . ”
“What? Thrombosis?” the woman’s son asked with surprise .
“Yes . Do you want to go to the hospital or get treatment here?” Wang Yao asked .
“Well, how much does it cost to be treated here?” her son asked . He brought his mother here because he heard that the young doctor in this clinic was very good at treating headaches . He didn’t expect his mother to have thrombosis in her brain . If he had known, he would have already taken her to the hospital . After all, he had never heard of a small clinic that could take on patients with thrombosis in the brain . If the thrombosis was not removed, it could cause a stroke and lead to paralysis .
“The treatment here includes massage, acupuncture and herbal therapy . The total cost is $1,000,” Wang Yao said .
“How much?” the woman’s son asked with surprise . One thousand was too expensive for him .
“One thousand,” Wang Yao said .
“Oh, thanks . I think we’ll go somewhere else,” the woman’s son said .
“That’s fine, but do hurry up . You don’t want to delay the treatment . ” Since they didn’t want to get treatment at the clinic, Wang Yao didn’t insist .
“OK, thanks,” the woman’s son said . He helped his mother walk out of the clinic .
“What kind of doctor is he? The cost of treatment is ridiculous . ” The woman’s son started to complain before even leaving the clinic .
“Shush! Don’t let him hear you,” the woman said .
“I don’t care . We are not coming back,” her son replied .
Wang Yao shook his head with a smile . Apparently, he heard what the woman’s son said . In fact, this was not the first time for him to hear such kind of complaint . Although he didn’t care much about what people thought of him, he was a bit upset about the woman’s son’s complaint .
