The decoction was amazing .

“Dad!” Wang Zecheng yelled .
It was a sunny day . The old man was sitting in the courtyard leaning on the wall .
“Where is Haoyuan?” his father asked . He thought his son went to pick up his grandson .
“I didn’t go to pick up Haoyuan . I went out for something else,” Wang Zecheng said . “How do you feel?”
“I feel good and comfortable,” the old man said .
“Good, I’ll pick up Haoyuan soon,” Wang Zecheng said . “Let me grab something first . ”
He went inside the house .
“What did the doctor say?” his wife asked .
“He didn’t give me a discount,” Wang Zecheng said .
“How many more decoctions does your dad need?” his wife asked .
“Not many I guess,” Wang Zecheng said . He decided not to tell his wife the truth yet because he didn’t want her to complain about spending too much money on his father’s treatment . He also didn’t want his father to overhear the complaints .
“By the way, I need to go and pick Haoyuan up,” Wang Zecheng said .
“Okay, drive safely,” his wife said .
Meanwhile, Wang Yao continued teaching Pan Jun massage techniques . During the lesson, the two chatted .
“That guy is from your village?” Pan Jun asked .
“Yes, his dad is sick,” Wang Yao said .
“What is wrong with his dad?” Pan Jun asked .
“Late-stage cancer,” Wang Yao said .
“What?” Pan Jun was surprised . “You want to cure a late-stage cancer patient?”

“I’m trying to,” Wang Yao said .
“Can you cure him?” Pan Jun asked .
Wang Yao laughed . “Do you have doubts about my expertise? To be honest, I feel like I’m stealing a person from the reaper . ”
No one could guarantee that he could cure a late-stage cancer patient . Wang Yao possibly could in another year .
Pan Jun invited Wang Yao for lunch at the restaurant in the village next door .
“Master, I think it’s a shame for someone like you to hide in this small village,” Pan Jun said . He had said this more than once .
Pan Jun hadn’t realized how good Wang Yao exactly was until he started to learn massage from him . Wang Yao might not be able to bring a dead person back to life, but he was definitely a better doctor than most so-called medical specialists .
“It makes no difference where I am,” Wang Yao said with a smile .
“Master, what should I say if anyone asks me who I learn massage from?” Pan Jun asked .
Wang Yao suddenly heard a mission from the system .
Mission: Regain the name of traditional Chinese Pharmacist, which has long disappeared . This is a long-term mission . The reward of successful completion includes a medical book and three bags of herb seeds . The punishment of failure is to take back the system and your knowledge given by the system .
What the hell is this mission? Long-term? How long? Is there a due date?
“Master? Is everything alright?” Pan Jun gently asked since Wang Yao seemed to be preoccupied .
“It’s nothing,” Wang Yao said . “Tell people you learn from a traditional Chinese Pharmacist . ”
“Traditional Chinese Pharmacist? I see . You’ve mentioned that before,” Pan Jun said . “So if anyone asks me who teaches me massage, I’ll tell them I learn from a traditional Chinese Pharmacist . By the way, your surname is Wang . I learn from the King Pharmacist, Pharmacist Wang?”
“Nonsense,” Wang Yao seriously said . He didn’t think he deserved the title King .
“I’m just joking . Don’t be mad, Master,” Pan Jun said .
“Never mind, let’s eat,” Wang Yao said .
He didn’t expect a question from a new student during a meal would trigger such a long-term mission out of blue . He had to regain the name of traditional Chinese Pharmacist . The mission required great effort and time .

It made Wang Yao think of a poem, The strong pass of the enemy is like a wall of iron yet with firm strides; we are conquering its summit .
“When do you think I’ll be good enough to practice on my own?” Pan Jun asked .
“You? Not anytime soon,” Wang Yao said with a smile .
“OK, I’ll work harder,” Pan Jun said .
They returned to the clinic after lunch .
“You can take a nap here . It’s good for your health,” Wang Yao said . He pointed to a spare room with a bed inside it .
“OK,” Pan Jun said .
Both Wang Yao and Pan Jun took a break after lunch . One had a nap while the other one did breathing exercises . Wang Yao continued to teach Pan Jun massage techniques in the afternoon .
A patient soon came to the clinic . He had come to see Wang Yao a few days ago because of diarrhea .
“I’m sorry, I can’t treat you,” Wang Yao said after taking a glance at the middle-aged patient with a pale face .
“Why?” the patient asked with surprise .
“I prescribed you a formula last time and asked you not to drink or smoke while you took the herbs . Did you take my advice?” Wang Yao said .
“I… I just drank a little bit,” the man said in low voice .
“A little bit? Really? You’ve been drinking the last three days and smoked regularly . You had a bad diarrhea . Am I right?” Wang Yao asked .
The man was shocked . “You are right . ”
“You can leave now,” Wang Yao said as he shook his hand .
He didn’t want to waste time on someone who didn’t take advice from a doctor or care about his own health .
“Please! I came all the way here!” The middle-aged man was desperate .
He had been drinking continuously at noon and in the evening, partly because of his work . The company he worked for reopened after Chinese New Year . After he had returned to work, many colleagues invited him to dinner . As a social person, he didn’t turn anyone down . Everyone offered him a drink, so he just couldn’t stop drinking .

At the beginning, he took Wang Yao’s advice and didn’t miss one dose of the decoction . He felt better after two days, and his diarrhea stopped . However, he started to drink again and often forgot to take the decoction . In the end, he had diarrhea again . He also found blood in his feces . He was really shocked and came to see Wang Yao right away .
“You should leave now . ” Wang Yao didn’t want to waste his time talking to him . The patient didn’t care about his health at all .
“Hey, what kind of doctor are you?” The man became agitated .
“Stop being rude!” Pan Jun stood up .
“It’s none of your business,” the patient said .
“Get out,” Wang Yao said .
The patient’s body shook . He almost fell to the ground .
What is going on? He had just heard a big bang and now felt dizzy .
The man looked at Wang Yao, who sat in front of him looking at him coldly . He then looked at Pan Jun, who was about 5-foot-9 .
“Humph! Who do you think you are?” The patient left the clinic angrily .
“Ridiculous,” Pan Jun said with contempt .
“He is actually quite sick,” Wang Yao said .
He could sense decay in the patient . The man sounded like he lacked Qi and was short of breath . The smell of his breath was terrible . His body also had an odd odor . These were all signs of an unhealthy body .
“Yes, he looks terrible, like has a deficiency of Qi and blood,” Pan Jun said .
“If he doesn’t stop drinking and smoking, his organs will be permanently damaged . Then, he will regret what he has done,” Wang Yao said .
There were always people who didn’t take advice from doctors . Eventually, it would be too late for them to have regrets .
“Shall we continue?” Pan Jun asked .
“OK,” Wang Yao said .
The patient who just left Wang Yao’s clinic angrily was actually very worried . He drove to Lianshan People’s Hospital and told the doctor there what had happened . Since it was late afternoon when he arrived, and he had drank water and had eaten, some of the exams couldn’t be done . He had to return to the hospital the next day .
Pan Jun left Wang Yao’s clinic when it was nearly 5 p . m . Wang Yao stayed in his clinic thinking about his mission .
To regain the name, how?
He tried to ask the system but didn’t get an answer .
After thinking for a while, he reckoned he had to work on two aspects . On one hand, he needed to gain a good reputation . On the other hand, he needed to have advanced medical skills . He needed both .
He needed to make the name of traditional Chinese Pharmacist known to the world . He also needed to pass the name from generation to generation .
People like Dharma and Zhang Sanfeng were the best in their areas . They both developed their Kung Fu school, such as Shaolin and Wudang, to pass their knowledge from generation to generation .
Should I open my own school? Wang Yao kept thinking about it .
He went back to Nanshan Hill right after dinner .
“Fenghua, I think Yao’s got something on his mind,” Zhang Xiuying said .
“Hmm, leave it to him . Don’t ask questions,” Wang Fenghua said .
Wang Yao couldn’t stop thinking about his mission on Nanshan Hill .
How am I going to complete the mission? How am I going to regain the name of traditional Chinese Pharmacist and pass my knowledge on?
Actually, he had already started his mission He had opened a clinic and gained recognition from the local government . These were all considered having a good reputation . He had also accepted a student to pass his knowledge on to .
I need to do both in the future .
It was windy in Dao . Two people were having a conversation .
“How is the progress on the apartments?” one of them asked .
“It’s going well,” the other man said .
“I heard you’ve contracted the hills nearby,” the first man said .
