Wang Yao went back to Nanshan Hill right after dinner . He needed to brew a decoction to save Wen Wan’s life . Although the Nine Herbs pill had an amazing effect, it could no longer help Wen Wan .

Therefore, he included two licorice roots in the decoction . One of them was Moonlight grass, which could nurture one’s Yin and settle one’s mind . The other was Everlasting grass, which could calm one’s organs and enhance one’s fundamental health .
For now, he only included those two licorice roots, which did not contradict each other or have any side effects . He originally wanted to include Changyang, which could also repair the five organs, but he didn’t have enough bonus points .
Inside Wang Yao’s cottage, the firewood was making crackling sounds as it burned . Inside the multifunctional pot, the liquid was clear and green . It was releasing a unique smell . The decoction was soon ready .
Wang Yao went to sleep early .
Nighttime in the village was even quieter than in the cities . However, Professor Lu couldn’t fall in sleep . It was not because the bed was uncomfortable . It was because he had too much on his mind .
On one hand, he was worried about Wen Wan . On the other hand, he had received a call from his wife, whom he had been with for decades . He told her he needed to accompany a friend for medical treatment and would be away for quite a while . His wife didn’t ask many questions . She just reminded him to look after himself .
He had a nice wife and two good children, as well as a decent job . His life appeared to be perfect . However, he couldn’t forget his first love and was willing to do everything for her . It was like he was having an affair, even though he wasn’t sleeping with Wen Wan .
He couldn’t tell his wife or children about Wen Wan . He had to keep it to himself .
Wen Wan, who was in the room next door, also couldn’t sleep because she was tortured by her illness . She was extremely uncomfortable and sighed weakly .
The night was quiet . But, for people who couldn’t sleep, the night was too long .
The sun rose as usual the next morning, but it was a bit cold outside .
Wang Yao got a call while he was still on Nanshan Hill .
“Master, are you available today?” Pan Jun asked .
“Yeah, come to the clinic,” Wang Yao said .
“Great,” Pan Jun said . He hung up the phone happily .
“Look at you! You are like a kid,” Pan Jun’s wife said .

“I’m happy . I’m going to learn more today . You’ve tried my massage, isn’t it good?” Pan Jun asked .
He hadn’t followed Wang Yao for long, but he had grasped the basic knowledge of meridians and acupoints . He had also begun to learn the basic massage methods . He had started to practice massage on his family members after getting to know the methods . His first massage client was, of course, his wife, who was very happy with the treatment .
He gave his wife a massage after she came back from work one day . She said she felt much more comfortable after the massage and had a better sleep at night . She had felt refreshed and energetic the next morning . Therefore, she gave her husband lots of praise .
“Your master is fantastic,” his wife said .
“Of course,” Pan Jun said .
He had wanted to visit Wang Yao in the clinic for a long time . However, Wang Yao was away in Beijing and Dali for nearly 10 days . Wang Yao had finally returned to the village . Pan Jun didn’t want to let a good learning opportunity slip away .
“Off I go,” Pan Jun said .
“Drive safely,” his wife said .
“I will,” Pan Jun said .
He arrived at the clinic while Wang Yao was still on Nanshan Hill .
“You are early,” said Wang Yao as soon as he saw Pan Jun .
“I’m very keen to learn things from you,” Pan Jun said .
“You don’t need to work today?” Wang Yao asked .
“I’m on the night shift,” Pan Jun said .
“I see . I have a special patient today . You can take a look later,” Wang Yao said .
“OK,” Pan Jun said .

Wang Yao opened the door of his clinic . The two of them went inside .
It was a bit cold in the morning, but it quickly warmed up after the sun came out . Professor Lu, Wen Wan, and her son arrived at the clinic 9:30 .
“This is the patient you mentioned?” Pan Jun asked .
He was shocked to see Wen Wan, who looked very sick and weak . She couldn’t walk into the clinic . Her son had carried her in . She seemed to be on her last gasp .
“You guys didn’t sleep well last night?” Wang Yao could tell this after taking a glance at them .
“You are right,” Professor Lu said .
“Come here, take the decoction first . ” Wang Yao gave Wen Wan a small bowl of decoction to take .
The decoction was nice and warm . Wen Wan’s son helped her hold the bowl .
“I have three Nine Herbs pills here . Have her take one each day . ” Wang Yao gave the pills to Professor Lu .
“OK,” Professor Lu said .
Wen Wan stayed in the clinic for 30 minutes after taking the decoction . Wang Yao reviewed her before letting her leave .
“What do you think of that patient?” Wang Yao asked Pan Jun .
“I think she is beyond cure,” Pan Jun said .
“Yes . Do you think she can tolerate massage therapy?” Wang Yao asked .
“I don’t think so,” Pan Jun said after thinking for a moment .
Although massage therapy increased blood circulation, it was not suitable for every patient . Wang Yao had told him what kind of patients and conditions could handle massage treatment, as well as what kind of patients wouldn’t be able to tolerate it .

A patient in critical condition should never get a massage . Their body was too weak to tolerate that kind of treatment, which was considered external stimulation .
“Master, what is her condition?” Pan Jun asked .
“Initially, it was renal failure . Now, she has multiple organ failure,” Wang Yao said .
“Oh my god! That patient?” Pan Jun remembered Wang Yao had mentioned the patient to him .
“Yes,” Wang Yao said .
“I thought you had been treating her for a while . How come she has become so ill?” Pan Jun asked .
“She stopped receiving treatment for some time because she had to go back to look after her sick mother . ” Wang Yao briefly explained to Pan Jun what had happened with Wen Wan .
“She is a good daughter, but she has gone to the extreme . ” He had never come across such kind of people, even after working in the Lianshan People’s Hospital for so many years . “Master, given her condition, do you think you can save her life?”
“I’ll try,” Wang Yao said .
He began teach Pan Jun massage technique . Pan Jun was very attentive and busy taking notes . Before long, it was lunch time .
“Shall we have lunch together? My treat,” Pan Jun said .
“OK,” Wang Yao said .
They went to the restaurant in the village next door, as usual . Both of them were regular customers .
“Hi, Dr . Wang!” The owner knew Wang Yao well .
Actually, Wang Yao had been running his clinic for quite a while, so a lot of people from surrounding villages had went to see him . All of them were happy with the treatment they received from him, so Wang Yao had gained himself a good reputation . Anyone with a tricky medical condition would think of him .
Wang Yao and Pan Jun ordered a few dishes . They chatted as they enjoyed their meal .
A group of people arrived while Wang Yao and Pan Jun were eating . Soon, another group showed up . Before long, the parking lot was full of cars .
“Business has been good?” Wang Yao asked .
“Yeah, the restaurant has been quite busy lately . You know, that hot spring resort in Li Family Creek has opened,” the owner said .
“I see . ” Wang Yao had completely forgot about the resort .
“I’ve been to the resort . It’s pretty good,” the owner said .
“I see,” Wang Yao said .
He and Pan Jun returned to the clinic after lunch . No one came to the clinic during this time of the day since almost everyone was having lunch .
“You can have a rest here,” Wang Yao said .
“OK,” Pan Jun said .
He laid down for a while . He then got up to read the book about massage on Wang Yao’s table .
Two patients came to the clinic in the afternoon . Both of them were elderly people who suffered from leg pain .
“Do you want to have a try?” Wang Yao asked .
“Sure,” Pan Jun said .
“Is he qualified?” one of the patients asked .
They had come to the clinic to see Wang Yao .
“Of course . He’s a doctor working at Lianshan People’s Hospital,” Wang Yao said .
“Really?” The old patient was still doubtful until Pan Jun showed him his name badge .
The patient’s condition was straightforward . He overused his legs for years . He was a suitable candidate to receive massage since the therapy was effective in treating muscle pain .
