Chapter 1044 - Huo Yao, Who Is Your Master?
w.a.n.g had a complicated expression on his face. She was hardly an adult, yet she was capable of such mind-blowing acupuncture skills. He genuinely felt ashamed in comparison.
No wonder she made no effort to hide the treatment process from him. There was nothing for her to worry about since it was impossible for him to learn it easily.
After letting the gold thread run its course through the arteries near Li Fang"s heart, Huo Yao finished the acupuncture before long. The removal step was no easy feat and was much harder than the application process.
Huo Yao removed the last needle ten minutes later. "All done."
Her face was a little pale. Sweat was trickling down the corners of her forehead down to her collar. She disinfected the needles before pulling up a chair and sitting down.
Li Fang was also very sweaty. When the gold needles were applied to his body, the intense pain from the needles nearly made him cave in and lose it.
w.a.n.g handed him a towel and helped him up. He excitedly took Li Fang"s pulse.
Li Fang"s pulse was strong. How… how could it have gone back to normal?
w.a.n.g inhaled deeply. After taking his pulse again, the results were the same. He hastily raised his head and looked at Huo Yao. "Is he cured?"
Huo Yao took water from Lin Shuwen. She held up the gla.s.s and took a few sips before she said mildly, "Nope."
w.a.n.g was stunned. "But his pulse is stable. How could this be?"
Huo Yao leaned into the chair and ma.s.saged her wrists. "Everyone has varying metabolism. The same goes for the elements inside the blood. The removal of stubborn elements like toxins will only cause the dying process to speed up, especially in the elderly. Treatment for them must be done with gentler methods."
"Since his body is accustomed to these toxins, we have to create a façade and confuse them first if we want to remove them for good. After the toxins have settled in, they can be quietly removed without any side effects. This is known as Façade Treatment."
Huo Yao was surprisingly generous and told him about the treatment in considerable detail.
w.a.n.g spent a few minutes taking it all in, but he could not fully grasp what she meant. "Are you performing acupuncture on him again after some time?"
Huo Yao nodded. "Probably in a week or so."
"In a week, will he recover fully then?" asked w.a.n.g again.
Huo Yao raised her brow. "If he can physically endure it, the treatment can commence five days from now if he wishes."
The more w.a.n.g found out about the girl, the more depressed he felt about his skills.
w.a.n.g pulled over a chair and sat down beside Huo Yao. "Oh yes. Did you refine the medication on your own?"
Huo Yao tilted her head sideways and looked at w.a.n.g. "What medication?"
"The medication you gave Li Fang." Although w.a.n.g had a keen interest in acupuncture, he was even more intrigued by ancient prescriptions.
He looked at Huo Yao with his eyes burning.
Huo Yao turned her fingers slightly and admitted candidly. "Yes, I did."
Even though w.a.n.g had already known the truth, he was incapable of controlling his expression when he heard it straight from the horse"s mouth.
This 20 something year old girl was a S level apothecary!
Were all kids these days so insanely talented?
w.a.n.g spent a couple of minutes composing himself until he suddenly asked. "Do you know how to use ancient prescriptions?"
Huo Yao looked at w.a.n.g"s face. She went quiet briefly before she answered modestly. "Just a little.
"Do you mind telling me who your master is?" asked w.a.n.g earnestly. He really wanted to know.
Even though the medication looked coa.r.s.ely made on the surface, he noticed something familiar about the refinement technique.
Every apothecary had their own way of refining medication. Even though it was the same prescription, the end products" grades varied depending on the technique.
