When he stepped into the house, w.a.n.g Yao saw the patient .

An elderly man in his 70's with greying hair and beard was lying on the bed . His face had a yellowish hue, and his breath was as light and shallow as gossamer . Beside the bed, an old man with white hair and beard sat . He was dressed in a traditional Chinese garment, and he was very skinny, but his eyes were lively . He was taking the pulse of the old man on the bed .

Sigh . The old man let out a deep sigh after taking the pulse .

"How is it, Mr . Sang?" Zhou Ying who had rarely spoken on the way to the house spoke up hastily after seeing his reaction .

The old man named Sang pondered for some time before responding, "I am unable to do anything more . Be prepared for the worst . "

He got up and realized that the house had one more person, a young man who exuded an unexplainable aura that caused most people to unconsciously take more than a look at him .

"This lad is?"

"Oh, he is—" Zhou Xiong was about to reply that w.a.n.g Yao was their relative . However, w.a.n.g Yao unexpectedly spoke up .

"h.e.l.lo Sir, I am a pharmacist," w.a.n.g Yao smiled and said .

He took the initiative to introduce himself and exposed his ident.i.ty because when he saw the old man, he felt an inexplicable sense of kins.h.i.+p with him . Simply put, the old man exuded a similar demeanor as he did .

"An ancient pharmacist?" The old man was slightly astonished .

"Yes . "

"Haha, I've not heard of this t.i.tle for a long time . My young friend, how do I address you?" The old man's mannerism was amicable . His bearing and speech did not show any sense of disdain or arrogance, which was why w.a.n.g Yao admired him .

"w.a.n.g Yao . "

"Young friend, go ahead . "

w.a.n.g Yao did not act formal and sat by the bed and took the patient's pulse . Upon diagnosis, his brows gradually furrowed, and after a while, he s.h.i.+fted away from his fingers .

"How is it, Doctor w.a.n.g?" Zhou Xiong's father asked in a soft voice . He knew w.a.n.g Yao was extraordinary .

"The poison has reached the viscera; the blood vessels and tendons are disorderly, and the vigor has retrograded . Also, he has multiple bone fractures and injuries to the internal organs . "

There were multiple ailments, and any one of the ailments would have been deadly if it befell any person .

This patient was akin to a boat that was riddled with thousands of gaping holes and yet was cruising through a violent storm . It was a miracle that the patient was able to survive till now .

Yes . The old man named Sang heard w.a.n.g Yao's diagnosis and nodded in agreement .

Compared to the other people w.a.n.g Yao had met, when he said that he was a pharmacist, the old man's heart was filled with surprise and antic.i.p.ation . The t.i.tle had been buried for too long, and most people were unaware that there was such an occupation in ancient times . This young man had not brought disgrace to this t.i.tle—he had taken the pulse and diagnosed the illness successfully .

"Is there a way to treat him?"

"Temporarily, no . " w.a.n.g Yao shook his head .

Such a patient was basically on his way to Hades; it would be incredibly difficult to pull him back .

While they were talking, the patient on the bed whose breaths were weak and shallow, suddenly started to breathe rapidly . His body started to perspire . The sweat was both salty and sticky .

"Oh no!"

Both w.a.n.g Yao and the old man named Sang exclaimed at the same time .

This was an indication that the patient was at death's door; he was so critically ill that his Yang energy was about to diminish .

w.a.n.g Yao quickly put his hands on the pulse . The pulse condition was very weak and seemed to be on the verge of stopping .

Mr . Sang was on the side testing the patient's four limbs . They were deathly cold to the touch .

"Ying…" the unconscious old man started to speak, but his voice was very faint and could not be heard clearly . He seemed to be calling his son's name .

This was the moment of clarity while on the brink of death .

"Dad!" Zhou Xiong's cousin kneeled down beside the bed . The man who had been silent during the journey had now teared up uncontrollably .

This was w.a.n.g Yao's first time being in such close proximity to a person whose death was imminent .

The death G.o.d had descended and was prepared to take away the old man .

Hang on . w.a.n.g Yao suddenly thought of the newly made Prolongation pill . Perhaps this pill could help .

"Don't cry . " w.a.n.g Yao had an idea . He slipped his hands into his pocket and retrieved a bottle of pills . He took out a pill . A faint herbal scent was emitted .

"Help him up . "

Zhou Ying hurriedly held up his father and then helped w.a.n.g Yao to get the pill to his father's lips . Mr . Sang, who was on the side, patted his throat and back area .

"Okay . "

Zhou Ying slowly helped his father lie down .

The people in the room did not know what medicine w.a.n.g Yao had given the patient and could only wait anxiously .

The old man slipped into unconsciousness . His gossamer light breath that was about to stop anytime had now stabilized .

"This is?!"

Mr . Sang quickly came to the patient's side without a care for his image . He extended his hand to take the pulse . The original faint pulse had become a continuous pulse and had become more stable . He touched the four limbs and found that they had warmed up a little . He also listened to the heartbeat, and it appeared to regain a bit of strength . These were indicators that the unconscious patient had escaped the threat of death .

"What did you give him?!" Mr . Sang was astonished, as he gazed at w.a.n.g Yao

In his years of healing, it was the first time he had met with such an occurrence . A patient that he could not help any further and with all signs pointing towards an imminent death was suddenly turned around .

To save a dying person from the jaws of death—only the legendary elixir or magical herb could achieve such an effect!

"Let's wait and see . " w.a.n.g Yao did not directly respond to the question and changed the topic .

The people waited in the house . After an hour pa.s.sed, it was determined that the patient on the bed was out of danger . Various parts of the body had shown signs of strengthening . The patient's lips moved, and his eyes blinked . These were indicators that he was about to wake up . He had been unconscious for a long time and earlier, he had almost slipped to another world . This person who was about to wake up had experienced a jarring impact . Apart from the person lying on the bed, everyone else looked at w.a.n.g Yao with different eyes, especially the old man named Sang .

"Doctor w.a.n.g, how's my father's illness?" Zhou Ying was the first to speak up . His eyes were still br.i.m.m.i.n.g with tears .

"I have temporarily saved his life . As to how to treat his illness, I need to think about it . I have no confidence . "

Even if there was no confidence, it meant it could be treated, and so, there was hope!

"Okay . "

"Let the patient rest . An attentive person needs to be here to care for him . "

The people left . Out of the entire house, only Zhou Xiong and his father, w.a.n.g Yao and Mr . Sang remained . On the other hand, Zhou Ying was out and about, busy arranging w.a.n.g Yao's accommodation .

"My young friend, can I speak to you privately?" Mr . Sang was not in a hurry to leave . He had matters to discuss in private with w.a.n.g Yao .

"Sure . " w.a.n.g Yao had a good impression of Mr . Sang and agreed to his request .

The two of them walked to the courtyard .

"May I ask you something? Who is your teacher?" Mr . Sang smiled and asked . At that moment, he appeared to be like an affable older generation . In his impression, he did not know of anyone who could groom such an outstanding protege . Even more amazing was the miraculous medicine that w.a.n.g Yao had taken out earlier .

"If I say that this was a gift from heaven, would you believe me?" w.a.n.g Yao smiled and replied .

He possessed this ability purely because of the system's help . If this mysterious system was not a gift from heaven, what was it?

"A gift from heaven?"

"Yes," w.a.n.g Yao answered seriously .

"Can you tell me the name of the pill that you gave Zhou Wuyi to consume?"

"Prolongation pill . "

"Prolongation? Avoiding death and prolonging life?"

"Yes . "

"Excellent name for an excellent pill . "

"You give me too much credit . "

"My advice to you is not to take this pill out in front of other people . It's too precious and will attract attention and will plant evil thoughts in some people," Mr . Sang kindly counseled .

"Okay, I will take note . " It had been a rushed day . If not for the fact that a person's life was at stake, he would not have used the Prolongation pill under the watchful eyes of so many people . On the other hand, the Prolongation pill's effects had convinced him of its true powers—it was able to save a dying person .

"May I know Sir's esteemed name please?" w.a.n.g Yao asked politely .

"What esteemed name? I'm just an old man . My name is Sang Guzi," Mr . Sang smiled and said .

This was the first time w.a.n.g Yao had heard of the name . However, within the boundaries of Cangzhou, this was a resounding name . Mr . Sang was a renowned doctor in Cangzhou . His medical skills were exceptional, and so were his ethics . He commanded deep reverence among the people .

When he stepped into the house, w.a.n.g Yao saw the patient . An elderly man in his 70s with greying hair and beard was lying on the bed .
