“Can you help him, Dr . Wang?” the man standing next to San Guzi asked .

“I’ll do my best,” Wang Yao said . “Prepare a quiet room for me . ”
“OK, I’ll arrange it immediately,” the man said .
“These are the herbs I need . I also need equipment to brew the decoctions . Get these for me as soon as possible . ” Wang Yao gave the man a list . “Remember, all the herbs must be wild . ”
“No problem,” the man said .
They quickly arranged a place and delivered the herbs .
“Dr . Wang cannot be disturbed when he is brewing the decoction,” San Guzi said .
“Oh, sorry,” the man from Han’s family said .
“Yao, l’ll leave you here to brew the decoction,” Sang Guzi said after the people from Han’s family left .
“Dr . Sang, I have a question . Since Han Xing and his brothers live in Yunnan, why don’t they take their brother to the King Pharmacist?” Wang Yao curiously asked .
“That King Pharmacist is very ill-tempered . He does everything according to his mood . He will not see anyone when he is not in good mood . Han Xing and his brothers were unlucky that day . The King Pharmacist was not in good mood because his bird died, so they didn’t get a chance to see him,” Sang Guzi said .
“Seriously?” Wang Yao asked with surprise .
“He is an old man . When you get old, you’ll be as moody as a child . He’s like an old child,” Sang Guzi said . “Sometimes I didn’t want to see any patients when I was not in good mood . Anyway, I’m leaving now . ”
“OK, see you later,” Wang Yao said . He then started to brew the decoctions .
The first decoction was to remove the toxins from the patient’s body . It contained ganoderma and detox grass .
The second decoction was to consolidate the patient’s fundamental health . It contained ginseng, angelica, and licorice . Wang Yao also added a frost grass leaf to offset the heat energy in the decoction . Ginseng, angelica, and licorice all had a warm nature . The patient was affected by a weird toxin that caused excessive heat energy in his body . Too many herbs with a warm nature would only make his condition worse . A frost grass leaf would offset the heat energy from the herbs and inside the patient’s body .
The third decoction was Muscle Revitalizing powder, which contained halloysitum rubrum, sulphate, licorice, fritillary, keel, everlasting grass, Lingshanji, and Guiyuan .
The treatment methods were similar to the one he used to treat Su Xiaoxue . Given her successful treatment, Wang Yao was confident he could cure Han Xing’s youngest brother .
The courtyard soon filled with the smell of herbs .
Although Wang Yao didn’t have his magical water and multifunctional pot, the weather in Yunnan was quite good . It was warm and clean, unlike in Beijing .
Wang Yao only brewed two decoctions in the afternoon .

“Dr . Wang!” Someone knocked at the door when it was close to evening .
“Come in please,” Wang Yao said . It was Han Zhiyu . He had come to pick him up for dinner .
“Dinner is ready . You can take a break now,” Han Zhiyu said .
“OK,” Wang Yao said .
He could brew the third decoction that night .
“Let me see your brother first,” Wang Yao said .
“OK,” Han Zhiyu said .
They went to see the youngest brother . Sang Guzi was also there . Wang Yao took out the first decoction .
“This one is to remove the toxins from his body,” Wang Yao said .
“Thank you,” Han Xing said .
“Don’t thank me now . This one costs $50,000,” Wang Yao said .
The decoction contained several pieces of ganoderma and three leaves of detox grass . It was simple but effective .
“OK!” Han Xing was a bit surprised but accepted the price . Of course, they were not happy with the price, hence they showed less respect to Wang Yao .
“He can take the decoction now,” Wang Yao said .
Han Zhiyu gave the decoction to his brother to take . Wang Yao stayed in the room for 30 minutes . He didn’t leave for dinner until he checked the patient’s pulse .
“Who is he?” Han Zhigao asked after Wang Yao had left .
“Someone recommended by Dr . Sang,” Han Zhiyu said .
“He’s so young . What decoction is it to cost $50,000? Even the decoctions from the King Pharmacist don’t cost that much . Do you think he’s a fraud?” Han Zhigao asked .
“No . He is recommended by Dr . Sang . He must be a good doctor,” Han Xing said .
The Han brothers prepared a banquet for Sang Guzi and Wang Yao in an old restaurant . They were very nice to Wang Yao and said many flattering things to him .

Wang Yao didn’t like having dinner with so many strangers .
Sang Guzi chatted with Wang Yao in the courtyard for a while after dinner .
“You don’t like having dinner with them?” Sang Guzi asked .
“No,” Wang Yao said .
“Me either, but sometimes I have to,” Sang Guzi said with a smile .
“They probably think I charge too much for my decoctions,” Wang Yao said .
“I’ve spoken to Han Xing about it,” Sang Guzi said .
He knew from when Wang Yao was treating Zhou Wuyi that the decoctions were expensive but worth every cent .
Han Xing and his brother were talking in the living room .
“Can that young doctor recommended by Dr . Sang help our brother?” Han Zhigao asked .
“That young doctor is highly regarded by Dr . Sang,” Han Xing said .
“His decoctions are so expensive,” Han Zhigao said .
“Dr . Sang mentioned that to me before he brought the young doctor here . He told me once that doctor charged $1 million for a decoction,” Han Xing said .
“As long as he can cure our brother, I’m happy to pay anything he asks for,” Han Zhiyu said .
“I agree,” Han Xing said .
Wang Yao started to brew the third decoction, Muscle Revitalizing powder, that night in the courtyard . Without a multifunctional pot, Wang Yao had to take extra caution to adjust the fire according to the change of color, taste, and density of the liquid in the pot . The interval of different herbs being added into the pot was also longer .
Finally, the decoction was successfully made . It was as sticky as honey and as green as jade .
Sang Guzi went to see the patient early in the morning .
“Hmm, his pulse is better,” Sang Guzi said .
“Great,” the Han brothers said .

“Dr . Wang is not here yet?” Sang Guzi asked .
“I’ve asked someone to pick him up . He should arrive soon,” Han Zhiyu said .
Wang Yao arrived shortly . He also checked the patient’s pulse .
“Continue to give him the decoction . I have another decoction here for him . ” He took out the second decoction for improving fundamental health . “This one costs $20,000 . Give him both decoctions to take . ”
“OK,” Han Zhiyu said
He gave his brother both decoctions to take .
Wang Yao sat next to the bed for 30 minutes before checking the patient’s pulse again . He then waited for another 30 minutes to check the patient’s pulse . He repeated this for two hours .
“How is he?” Han Zhiyu asked .
“He’s getting better,” Wang Yao said .
“Great! Great!” Han Zhiyu was ecstatic .
“I want to ask you guys something,” Wang Yao said .
“OK, shall we talk outside?” Han Zhiyu suggested .
They left the patient’s room and went to the living room . Tea was immediately served .
“How did he get so sick?” Wang Yao asked .
After he had taken a close look at the patient, he was pretty sure the patient’s condition was similar to Su Xiaoxue’s . He had asked how Su Xiaoxue got poisoned, however, no one seemed to know .
“Well, we really don’t know,” Han Zhiyu said .
“Our youngest brother started to become sick after a business trip . Initially, he had a fever . Then, he started to vomit and have diarrhea . He then began losing weight,” Han Xing said . “We took him to the hospital . The doctors there did blood and urine test for him . All the results came back abnormal . My brother received treatment in the hospital, but he didn’t get any better . On the contrary, his condition declined . ”
“We’ve also taken him to Beijing and Shanghai,” Han Zhiyu added . “But, nothing worked . Then, we took him to see the King Pharmacist . Unfortunately, the King Pharmacist was in sh*tty mood that day . We didn’t get to see him . ”
“Fortunately, we know Dr . Sang, who recommended you,” Han Xing said .
“So, you don’t know how he got sick?” Wang Yao rubbed his forehead .
“What’s wrong?” Dr . Sang asked .
“The toxin in his body is external,” Wang Yao said .
“Well, I can ask him for details when he wakes up,” Han Xing said .
“OK,” Wang Yao said .
He declined Han Xing’s invitation to have dinner at his house . Instead, he and Sang Guzi went to an old restaurant in town . They ordered a few dishes and a pot of wine . The two of them chatted while eating .
“I’ve seen a person with a similar condition,” Wang Yao said .
“Really?” Sang Guzi asked with surprise .
“The girl I saw in Beijing had a similar condition to Han Xing’s brother,” Wang Yao said .
“The same type of poison?” Sang Guzi asked .
“Probably,” Wang Yao said .
One lived in Dali, and the other lived in Beijing . One was from the north, and the other was from south . They seemed to have nothing in common .
I need to ask Su Xiaoxue’s family when I visit Beijing next time .
“How is that girl now?” Sang Guzi asked .
“She is fully recovered,” Wang Yao said .
“Really?” Sang Guzi’s eyes lit up .
“But, please don’t mention this to the Han brothers,” Wang Yao said .
“OK, I see,” Sang Guzi said .
They talked about many things . After a while, Wang Yao noticed Sang Guzi was a bit tired . He presumed Sang Guzi took a nap every day .
“Hmm,” Wang Yao said . “I’m full now . How about you?”
“Me too,” Sang Guzi said .
“Shall we leave then?” Wang Yao suggested .
“OK,” Sang Guzi said .
