“You wouldn’t understand even if I told you,” said w.a.n.g Yao.
“You are right. I won’t understand. But can you make this battle array at home?” asked w.a.n.g Ru.
“I can’t do it right now. I need to borrow the power from trees and rocks to create a battle array,” said w.a.n.g Yao.
“Where did you learn all this stuff?” asked w.a.n.g Ru.
“From G.o.d.” w.a.n.g Yao pointed at the sky with a smile.
w.a.n.g Ru left Nanshan Hill after a short while.
“I think I would have a longer lifespan if I stay up here long enough,” said w.a.n.g Ru before she left.
“You certainly would,” said w.a.n.g Yao, smiling.
Nanshan Hill had a good aura, which would have a positive impact on one’s health if one stayed there long enough. The aura would improve one’s health and make them live longer.
The construction of new road in the village had finally finished. Now the road was wider and smoother. The development of a hot spring spot was also in progress in Li Family Creek. The developer had sent people to the Li Family Creek on Sat.u.r.day.
w.a.n.g Fenghua mentioned the hot spring over having dinner.
“It is a good thing,” said w.a.n.g Fenghua.
A good size of population was required to develop the area.
“Maybe we should go there and take a look one day,” suggested w.a.n.g Fenghua.
“What’s in that place now? I don’t think they’ve started to build the resort,” said Zhang Xiuying.
w.a.n.g Yao had been to Li Family Creek. His second aunt and her family lived there. Li Family Creek was actually a boring place, even more boring than w.a.n.g Family Village. Even with the discovery of hot spring, there would just be a resort. Nothing truly attractive or interesting.
w.a.n.g Yao spent some quality time with his family after dinner before going back to Nanshan Hill.
It was peaceful overnight.
The next day, Su Changhe came to Haiqu with his patient, Lu Xian, from Beijing.
“Hmmm, the air is so fresh here,” said Lu Xian.
He felt the air was much fresher in Haiqu as soon as he got out of the plane. The sky also looked farther away than it was in Beijing.
“Yes, Haiqu is a coastal city. It’s a good place to have a holiday and to live when you get old,” said Su Changhe, smiling. “Let’s go.”
They saw someone holding a sign with their names on it as soon as they walked out of the aisle.
“h.e.l.lo, Professor Su, welcome to Haiqu. I’m from Haiqu City Hospital,” said the person holding the sign.
“h.e.l.lo, thank you for coming to pick us up,” said Su Changhe.
He had been to Haiqu several times.
“We’ve arranged accommodation for you. Please follow me,” said the person from Haiqu City Hospital.
“Okay, would you like to come?” Su Changhe asked Lu Xian.
“Okay,” said Lu Xian.
After Su Changhe and Lu Xian had settled at the hotel, they went to the welcome dinner arranged earlier by the hospital. Su Changhe was not keen to interact with people from the hospital, but he didn’t want to disappoint them.
He asked the hospital to provide him with a vehicle in the afternoon. Then he drove Lu Xian to w.a.n.g Yao’s clinic in Lianshan.
w.a.n.g Yao was in the clinic when they had arrived at the village.
“h.e.l.lo, Dr. w.a.n.g,” greeted Su Changhe.
“h.e.l.lo, Professor Su,” said w.a.n.g Yao.
“This is the patient I mentioned. And this is Dr. w.a.n.g.” Su Changhe introduced Lu Xian to w.a.n.g Yao.
He is so young!
This was Lu Xian’s first impression of w.a.n.g Yao. Almost everyone had the same reaction when he or she met w.a.n.g Yao the first time.
“Please take a seat,” said w.a.n.g Yao.
He made a pot of tea for Su Changhe and Lu Xian.
“Let me take a look at you,” said w.a.n.g Yao.
He observed Lu Xian, listened to his voice, and paid attention to the smell of his breath.
Lu Xian looked terrible. His eyes were yellow, indicating that his liver was failing. His breathing was shallow, indicating he was lacking strength and corporeity. His breath also stunk, indicating that his organs were in disorder.
w.a.n.g Yao had basically identified Lu Xian’s problems following three methods of diagnosis, and the problems were quite big.
His last step was to check Lu Xian’s pulse.
Hmmm, his condition was really similar to Wei Hai’s
“Is it painful here?” w.a.n.g Yao pressed gently at Lu Xian’s right chest. Lu Xian had a tremor as if he had received an electric shock.
“Yes,” said Lu Xian.
“You have a big problem with your liver, and five of your organs are in disorder. Your blood flow and Qi are not running smoothly, and your corporeity is insufficient,” said w.a.n.g Yao.
System, is his condition considered hard-to-treat? w.a.n.g Yao asked the system silently and received a positive answer.
Yes, replied the system.
He had successfully cured someone with similar condition, so he had a good idea how to treat Lu Xian’s condition. He could provide a more effective treatment to Lu Xian, whose condition seemed to be better than Wei Hai’s.
“Do you like eating seafood, especially sas.h.i.+mi?” asked w.a.n.g Yao.
“Yes, I like eating seafood and freshwater fish,” said Lu Xian.
Wei Hai also liked eating seafood.
“Stop eating anything from the ocean and freshwater from now on,” said w.a.n.g Yao.
“Okay.” Lu Xian nodded immediately.
“Dr. w.a.n.g, can you treat his illness?” asked Su Changhe.
“Yes.” w.a.n.g Yao nodded.
Su Changhe’s eyes lighted.
“Can I watch and learn from you?” asked Su Changhe.
“Well…I can’t. I’m sorry,” said w.a.n.g Yao after thinking for a moment.
He didn’t mind showing Su Changhe how he would treat Lu Xian’s illness, but he would use sedge, a licorice root, which couldn’t be found anywhere else.
“That’s fine. I shouldn’t have asked,” said Su Changhe, smiling.
“I will treat your illness though two different ways. First, I need to consolidate your corporeity. Second, I need to kill the parasites,” said w.a.n.g Yao.
Su Changhe nodded. He agreed with w.a.n.g Yao. Actually, any experienced doctor would treat Lu Xian’s illness with those two methods. The question was how to kill the parasites.
“Okay, I’ll follow your instructions,” said Lu Xian.
“One more thing, the treatment fee is quite high,” said w.a.n.g Yao.
“I think I can afford it,” said Lu Xian. He was not super rich, but he wouldn’t mind spending several millions if he could be cured. In fact, he would spend all the money he had.
“Okay, wait for me here, I’ll brew a decoction for you,” said w.a.n.g Yao.
He only had half of a leaf of sedge in the cabinet of the system, but it was enough for Lu Xian to take for the first time.
A half leaf of sedge, several pieces of ganoderma, licorice, and a bit of ginseng formed the decoction.
It didn’t take long to brew this decoction.
Su Changhe and Lu Xian were waiting in the room.
In less than an hour, w.a.n.g Yao had finished brewing the decoction and poured it into the porcelain bottle.
“Try this first, see if it works,” said w.a.n.g Yao.
Lu Xian took a small cup of the decoction.
The decoction was warm. It was like a warm current running into Lu Xian’s stomach. At first, Lu Xian didn’t feel much different. After over 10 minutes, he started to experience pain underneath his right chest.
Shus.h.!.+ What’s is this?
“Do you feel anything?” w.a.n.g Yao noticed the change in Lu Xian’s facial expression.
“Yes, I feel warm here, and a bit painful.” Lu Xian pointed at his right chest.
“I see. This is normal. Just wait it out a bit longer,” said w.a.n.g Yao.
Su Changhe was talking to w.a.n.g Yao while waiting for Lu Xian. At the beginning Lu Xian was able to join the conversation, but the pain gradually got worse. Lu Xian was sweating.
“Is the pain really bad?” asked w.a.n.g Yao.
“Yes,” said Lu Xian.
“Come here, let me give you a ma.s.sage,” said w.a.n.g Yao.
He gently ma.s.saged Lu Xian’s right chest to reduce his pain.
The pain had reduced, but Lu Xian started to feel nauseous. Something in his stomach was coming up.
“Sorry, I have to go to the toilet,” said Lu Xian.
w.a.n.g Yao showed him where the toilet was. Lu Xian rushed out of the room.
Lu Xian threw up everything he ate this morning, along with blood clots. He kept vomiting until nothing was left in his stomach.
After he had finished vomiting, he returned to the clinical room and told what had happened to w.a.n.g Yao. His face turned white after vomiting. He looked terrible.
“You’ve started to expel the parasites out of your body,” said w.a.n.g Yao. “However, you are too weak. I’ll give you a different decoction to take when you go back. The decoction will consolidate your corporeity,” said w.a.n.g Yao.
The decoction he gave Lu Xian was an alternative based on Regather soup. He didn’t put any licorice root in it, but it was still quite effective.
“The decoction I have you was for a course of treatment. I’ve written down how to take it for you,” said w.a.n.g Yao.
“Thank you, how much is it?” asked Lu Xian.
w.a.n.g Yao thought for a while.
“The Regather soup is not expensive. However, this one costs a lot.” He pointed at the porcelain bottle containing sedge.
“How much?” asked Lu Xian.
According to the price given by the system, a half leaf of sedge could cost at least 10 thousand.
“10 thousand,” said w.a.n.g Yao.
So expensive!
Although Lu Xian had prepared to pay a high price for the treatment, he and Su Changhe were both surprised to hear the price.
“Okay, no problem.” Lu Xian gave w.a.n.g Yao the payment after hesitating for a moment.
“Look, you can pay me five thousand today. If the decoction works, you can pay me the rest later.” w.a.n.g Yao could tell that Lu Xian doubted about whether the decoction was worth that much money.
“That’s fine. I believe in Professor Su.” Lu Xian transferred the money right away.
He and Su Changhe spent nearly three hours in w.a.n.g Yao’s clinic.
“Thank you,” said w.a.n.g Yao.
“I hope to come here often in the future to discuss some cases. Are you okay with that?” asked Su Changhe. During the last three hours, he and w.a.n.g Yao had discussed some difficult cases. He found that w.a.n.g Yao had profound knowledge of Traditional Chinese Medicine. He was very impressed. w.a.n.g Yao was in his 20’s, but he had knowledge that could only be possessed by a 70 year old highly experienced pract.i.tioner.
