Chapter 525: 525
He looked pretty bad, like dry grass in winter . He also sounded really hoarse, like chirping of cicadas in autumn . As Wang Yao had diagnosed from the mountain village earlier, the man’s sickness went beyond any remedy .

As Wang Yao looked at the old man, the people in the room were looking at him . They had heard of his reputation for a long time . But, hearing was always different than meeting . They were even more shocked after meeting him because of how young he was . It was hard to imagine that a young person like him could have such extraordinary medical skills and could formulate amazing drugs .
“Dr . Wang, what do you think?” Wu Tongxing softly asked .
The people in the room were no longer high-ranking executives or wealthy merchants . They were children worried about the health of their father .
In fact, this was a wealthy family with good reputation . It had its own heritage and family tradition . The family highly valued filial piety, which was its foundation . Success was derived from luck and coincidence . A noble and wealthy family could never be generated by just one generation .
“Don’t be in a hurry . ” Wang Yao walked forward in front of him .
The old man was lying in bed . His breath was weak . “Hello . ” He wanted to laugh, but he couldn’t .
“Hello, don’t talk,” Wang Yao said .
No matter how great the old man used to be, he was now no different from anyone else in critical condition . In the face of death, everyone was equal .
Wang Yao felt his pulse . It was too weak to be felt . The danger of this pulse was similar to Su Xiaoxue’s at her worst . It was already a sign of ruins .
Before he had come, he had thought, First I have to save his life temporarily, then think of how to cure him .
He was not a god . For the time being, he was not up to the realm of a great pharmacist . This disease was also quite tricky for him . It was a big challenge .
“I’ll give you a prescription,” Wang Yao said . “You need to go to prepare the medicine . I also need a quiet room and the tools to boil down the medicine . The firewood burned must be oil-free mountain firewood . ”
“Yes,” Wu Tongxing said .
After taking over Wang Yao’s list, family members immediately acted .
“The room is ready for you, see?” a family member said .
“Please wait for me,” Wang Yao said .

He then untied the old man’s shirt to reveal his thin chest . Suddenly, a few people appeared quietly in the room . It was as if they were shadows staring at him .
Wang Yao slowly pressed the heart and lungs of the old man . Those shadows rushed to the front but were stopped by Wu Tongxing .
“OK, go . ” After a moment, Wang Yao got up and walked away .
“Quickly, take Dr . Wang there,” Wu Tongxing said .
The room they had prepared was in a separate old courtyard house . Wu Tongxing had consulted Chen Ying, who told him that Dr . Wang seemed to like quaint little courtyards . He liked to watch the sky in the night . What Su’s family could do, they naturally couldn’t do worse than them .
The people in the room had not left . They looked at the old man who was gradually falling asleep .
“Doctor Wu?” The head of them whispered to ask a question to the old man’s doctor .
“He is fine for the time being,” Dr . Wu said .
At this time, an old man entered the room .
“Dr . Li, sorry to trouble you,” Wu Tongxing said .
“Has Wang Yao been here?” Dr . Li asked .
“Yes,” Wu Tongxing said .
“Did he take medicine?” Dr . Li asked .
“No, he just pressed my dad’s chest,” Wu Tongxing said .
“Press?” The old man hurried to the bed and felt his pulse . “Ah? Are you sure he didn’t take any medicine or receive any acupuncture treatment?”
“He definitely didn’t take any medicine, and we did not see any needles,” Wu Tongxing said .

“That’s amazing,” Dr . Li said .
“What is it, Dr . Li?” Wu Tongxing asked .
“His pulse was extremely weak, which is very dangerous . Now, it is stronger than before,” Dr . Li said .
Was it because of the gentle press? There must be a mystery here!
“Where did he go?” Dr . Li asked .
“He gave us a prescription,” Wu Tongxing said . “He went to prepare medicine for decoction . ”
“Can I see the prescription?” Dr . Li asked .
Ginseng, glossy ganoderma, polygonum multiflorum, figwort root, rehmannia root, Chinese peony…
In addition to some supplement medicine, the rest was to nourish Yin and clear the lungs . There was nothing unusual in the prescription .
“Is that all?” Dr . Li asked .
“Yes, that’s all,” the family member said .
The old man stayed for about 20 minutes and then left . He prepared to go home . After thinking a bit, he turned to go to his old friend’s house .
“Chen Lao?” Dr . Li asked .
“It is so late,” Chen Lao said . “What’s up?”
“The eldest son of the family just asked me to go to the house to see the old Mr . Wu,” Dr . Li said .
“How is he?” Chen Lao asked .

“You know . He was ill beyond any remedy,” Dr . Li said . “They invited Wang Yao from the mountain town . He came during the night . ”
“Ah, he came?” Chen Lao asked .
“Yes, and he has already treated the old man ” Dr . Li said . “I felt his pulse, which was stronger than before . ”
“That is awesome,” Chen Lao said .
“It’s beyond being awesome,” Dr . Li said . “Old Mr . Wu didn’t take any medicine or receive any acupuncture treatment . Dr . Wang just pressed his chest . ”
“What?” Chen Lao was stunned . “Really?”
“The eldest son of the family said so,” Dr . Li said . “He wouldn’t lie about something like that . It does not make sense . ”
“Was it massage to dredge the acupoints or something? Oh, I know!” Chen Lao suddenly thought of the neixi in Su Xiaoxue’s body . “It must be that!”
“What?” Dr . Li asked anxiously .
“Nothing,” Chen Lao said .
“You can’t say half of it and then hide the rest,” Dr . Li said .
“It’s really nothing . It’s a good thing that he came . It is hopeful that he can cure the old man’s illness . ” He pointed at the chessboard on the table . “Come and play with me . ”
“I don’t want to play with you since your skills are so poor . I am leaving!” After that, the little fat old man left . He came fast and left fast, not like a 70-year-old man at all .
“Is it really as magical as the legend? Can he protect the heart by transfusing Qi into him?” Chen Lao wondered out loud .
As for the mysterious thing of neixi, the old man was dubious . He had seen it before, but he still doubted it because he had never experienced it .
He is so young, less than 30 . Where did he learn his amazing ability? He sighed but did not know why .
The small courtyard was very quiet . The pot for the decoction was an antique . Finally, the mountain firewood was ready .
Wu’s family had prepared all the medicine Wang Yao needed in a very short period of time . It was still late at night when it was time for decocting . The scent of medicine filled the small courtyard .
Wang Yao was preparing to decoct two drugs . First was regather soup, which could be used to consolidate body foundation . The other one was to cure ulcer and calm the five internal organs . He had thought of it when he was on Nanshan Hill .
Ginseng, matrimony vine, sealwort, qianshi, glossy ganoderma, shanjing, and guiyuan .
In addition to the last two licorice roots, Wang Yao brought some that had been planted in the medicine field . After getting the nourishment of nimbus, their potency was stronger than the wild herbs in the deep forest .
He was familiar with the regather soup . As the old saying went, practice could make perfect . He decocted the herbs freely without hesitation . They were finished at 11 p . m .
He looked at the color and smelled the odor . He poured a little into a cup to taste .
“Hey, something is not right,” Wang Yao said to himself .
What was it? It must be the nimbus in the spirit gathering battle array .
Some people said that it was in Jing, so there must have been a solemn atmosphere between heaven and earth . It was true, but the atmosphere between them was dirty . Though, it was far less dirty than some other small cities . Once could see that in the sky .
In such a prosperous place, the nimbus, which was the vitality and essence between heaven and earth, would not be refined and rich . But, this was an international city composed of reinforced concrete . Although there was greenery and hills, the proportions were too small . There were too many industries and too much pollution .
In addition, the timing of decoction was a bit off . Generally speaking, its purpose was to consolidate the body’s foundation while balancing the Yin and Yang . The focus was to compensate Yang . Now, it was night . That was when Yang was weak but Yin was strong . It would be no problem if it was in the spirit gathering battle array, but this was Jing .
A dose of medicine was finished . The dregs were poured directly into the toilet and washed away . Then, it was time to decoct the second medicine .
Astragalus membranaceus, codonopsis pilosula, Speranskia, glossy ganoderma, white peony, pear grass, cizhan, Changyang, Guiyuan…
The medicine needed four licorice roots . Pear cured ulcer sores . Cizhan cleared away heat, detoxified, and cured sarcoma . Changyang opened pores on the heart, supplemented five internal organs, and removed obstruction among nine apertures in the body . Guiyuan reconciled the efficacy of all the medicine .
The licorice roots were used in such a way that the medicine would be only second to the prolongation pill .
