"Let me prescribe a decoction that can detoxify the poison," said w.a.n.g Yao .

"Oh, that's lucky . I can witness my young friend's miraculous work again," replied Mr . Sang delightedly .

In the system's lattice, w.a.n.g Yao found that there were a few sprigs of antidote herb .

While alone in the room, w.a.n.g Yao started to prepare the decoction . He prepared an ordinary bowl of hot water and added a few pieces of verdant leaves which melted immediately into the water . This was a simple decoction to make .

w.a.n.g Yao brought the bowl of green liquid to the sickbed .

"Let him drink this . "

Mr . Sang glanced at the bowl of green liquid; his eyes were full of antic.i.p.ation .

After taking the decoction, the patient started trembling instantaneously .

"What's going on?"

"Be patient . "

Urrggh . The patient who was originally lying on the sick bed started to vomit . As he was unable to get up and everyone was unprepared, the stench of the vomit permeated the place .

"This is . . . ?"

"He has vomited a portion of the poison," said Mr . Sang . He was now more curious about w.a.n.g Yao's ident.i.ty .

Whose disciple is he? Who can make decoctions with such miraculous effects? Unless he was from the long-buried lineage of the legendary King of Medicine?

The patient gradually recovered from the bout of vomit and stayed still .

"Let me take a look . " Mr . Sang took the pulse and also unb.u.t.toned the patient's s.h.i.+rt .

The unconscious Mr . Zhou's body had a lot of bruises . Upon closer inspection, the bruises were made by fists and palms .

Looking at this scene allowed w.a.n.g Yao to understand the martial arts and the pugilistic world a little better .

Mr . Sang took out a cloth pouch from the portable medicine box that he carried and unfurled it . In it laid a row of silver needles .

"Acupuncture?!"

w.a.n.g Yao's eyes brightened upon seeing the scene .

The path of medicinal knowledge was broad and profound and could be broadly cla.s.sified into two categories—"Diagnosis" and "Treatment . "

Diagnosis referred to the understanding of the patient's condition and discovering the source of the illness . Looking, hearing, asking, and diagnosing were among the various methods of diagnosis .

Treatment referred to the treatment of the illness by reducing the patient's pain and enabling the patient to recover his health . There were multiple methods to achieving this, such as ma.s.sage therapy, acupuncture, decoctions, etc . In w.a.n.g Yao's current repertoire of treatment methods, he only possessed the knowledge of decoction . It was truly deficient .

Mr . Sang's recognition of the acupoints was very accurate; however, he pierced the needle very slowly . It was unlike what was described in movies or novels, where the needle was pierced into the skin very quickly . Mr . Sang pierced the abdomen area . It was very likely for the purpose of stimulating the internal organs since the acc.u.mulation of poison was the most in this area . After he pierced the silver needle through, he constantly rotated the needle .

w.a.n.g Yao observed the entire process extremely intently . If he wanted to become a true pharmacist, he needed to acquire acupuncture skills .

w.a.n.g Yao had already memorized the location of the human body's acupoints, arteries, and veins . Although he also had the knowledge indoctrinated by the system, w.a.n.g Yao did not have the knowledge of acupuncture, specifically the method of acupoint recognition . He had read a few related books . Unfortunately, they were not detailed enough .

There was a saying that went, "Knowledge gleaned from books could not be compared to the deep understanding obtained from personally practicing the subject matter . "

Knowledge and practice complemented each other . One could not do without the other .

After the needle was pierced, Mr . Sang waited for some time and then took the pulse . Thereafter, he gradually withdrew the needle .

The order of piercing and withdrawal of the needle was quite different .

Acupuncture was a medical skill and a profound learning .

This skill appeared to consume a lot of energy . After Mr . Sang removed the needle, he went to the side of the room to rest .

"I am old now and have less energy . My young friend, I will rest for a while . "

"Okay . "

w.a.n.g Yao got up and walked him to the door and then returned to the sickbed and extended his hand to take the pulse .

Sure enough, the pulse condition had improved again, better than the condition just after taking the antidote herb decoction . The acupuncture had its own sense of profundity .

…

Thousands of miles away in Lianshan County .

w.a.n.g Mingbao took w.a.n.g Yao's decoction to his uncle's house .

"Uncle, these are all w.a.n.g Yao's medicine . They can be applied externally and consumed . Try and see their effects," w.a.n.g Mingbao said .

"Okay, I will try . "

For the past few days, w.a.n.g Mingbao's uncle was in great pain because of the illness . The malignant sores on his back seemed like they were on fire and even emitted an odor . He was thoroughly uncomfortable and could not sleep at night . He had taken all sorts of medicine to no avail . Furthermore, he kept having diarrhea . No matter what he ate, his stomach felt unwell .

I really hope this is effective . These were w.a.n.g Mingbao's uncle and aunt's internal prayers .

w.a.n.g Mingbao's aunt carefully applied the salve on her husband . Suddenly, w.a.n.g Mingbao's uncle felt a cooling sensation in his back area, and he felt comfortable . The feeling of being on fire experienced earlier had been suppressed . This had not happened before .

This is effective!

He immediately noticed the medicine's efficacy .

"Let me drink a little of this . "

The decoction was slightly bitter and cool . A cool feeling cascaded deep into the stomach and rapidly proliferated . The stomach felt cool . The exterior of the body felt cool as well, a complement to the interior .

"How do you feel, Uncle?"

"Much more comfortable," said w.a.n.g Mingbao's uncle . "Yao is amazing!"

"Indeed!" w.a.n.g Yao replied proudly . He felt like a proud parent to his best friend .

"Help me to thank Yao . Oh, by the way, how much is the medicine?"

"You don't have to worry about this; I will handle this with him . Don't forget the method for taking the medicine . I'm leaving now . "

"Hey, don't be in such a hurry . Have you had dinner yet?"

"No thanks, I have matters to settle at my shop," w.a.n.g Mingbao replied and left in a rush .

"This child!" his aunt commented .

"Never mind, let him go . "

I wonder what Yao's doing in Cangzhou? He even spent the night there, w.a.n.g Mingbao pondered as he was driving .

…

In the Zhou village in Cangzhou .

The awakened Zhou Wuyi was now able to speak and take food . The dramatic change in his condition happened within a day . The people who knew about the whole situation were very impressed with w.a.n.g Yao .

While caring for Zhou Wuyi, Zhou Xiong brought his son to see w.a.n.g Yao .

"h.e.l.lo, Doctor w.a.n.g . " Zhou Wukang was pleased to see w.a.n.g Yao again .

"h.e.l.lo, Kang . It's been a long time . "

The diagnosis was acceptable . Zhou Kang's condition had improved since he left Lianshan County . However, the improvement was limited . The arm was still deteriorating .

"You haven't asked Mr . Sang to treat Kang's illness?" w.a.n.g Yao asked . After his interaction with Mr . Sang, he could tell that the affable Mr . Sang was worthy of his name . He was an expert, and his medical skills were top notch . Although Kang's illness was strange, if Mr . Sang were to see him earlier, he should be able to treat him .

"We've asked him . It's a pity we were too late . If he had not used acupuncture, Kang's arm would have been incapacitated, and his body would have been far worse," said Zhou Xiong .

"Too late? I thought Mr . Sang lives in Cangzhou?"

"No . Even though he is very well known in Cangzhou with the t.i.tle of being an extremely skilled doctor, he does not stay here long . He only visits Cangzhou at a fixed time every year . Other times, he is always elusive and mysterious in his whereabouts . It was better in the last two years . The years before, he didn't come back here often at all," Zhou Xiong remarked .

"It was all thanks to Mr . Sang that Uncle was able to survive as long as he did until you arrived . Mr . Sang happened to be in Cangzhou and has good ties with our family, so we were able to secure his help . "

"I see that this old gentleman is very amiable, correct?"

"Yes, he is not only highly skilled, but his ethics are unquestionably excellent . In the past, he frequently saw patients for free . Now that he is getting older, although he sees patients less frequently, his fees are always very low . Sometimes he doesn't charge . Additionally, he is very particular about the disciples he mentors . Many people are indebted to him," said Zhou Xiong .

"Impressive!" w.a.n.g Yao complimented Mr . Sang . Such a moral character in this materialistic society was a true rarity!

In the other room, Zhou Ying was talking to Mr . Sang .

"Previously, Xiong and his son had gone to Doctor w.a.n.g?"

"Yes . "

"In that case, little Kang's illness turned for the better because of him?" Mr . Sang asked .

"Yes," Zhou Ying replied simply, not saying anything more .

"You have so little to say!"

"It's alright," said Zhou Ying .

"Doctor w.a.n.g's medical skills are quite extraordinary . He's so young and has such abilities . He's far better than my stupid disciples," said Mr . Sang, smiling .

"Mr . Sang, you're too modest . Your disciples are renowned in Cangzhou . Senior Lu is very capable," said Zhou Ying .

"Him? He's probably not suitable to practice in the provincial capital," said Mr . Sang .

"I have a request to make of you . "

"What is it?"

"Can you keep a secret regarding Doctor w.a.n.g?" Zhou Ying said .

"Haha, don't worry . I know what to do," said Mr . Sang .

After taking w.a.n.g Yao's decoction and after Mr . Sang's acupuncture, Mr . Zhou Wuyi's body felt better . However, he was still not out of danger as the poisons in his body were not yet completely flushed out . Furthermore, his erratic arteries and veins were a big problem . If not treated quickly, he might not be able to survive . He might even become a vegetable or an idiot .

"If you don't mind me asking, is your uncle a pract.i.tioner of the legendary neigong?" w.a.n.g Yao curiously asked Zhou Xiong . As he took the old man's pulse, he discovered that his body had a faintly discernible Qi . It was the first time he had met with something like that in all his time of taking numerous patients' pulses .

"Yes, that is neigong . He has neixi," Zhou Xiong said . "Since he has neixi, it helped him last this long before you and Mr . Sang could see him . "

"Your uncle is a martial arts expert?"

"Yes . My uncle has practiced for 60 years . He practices both internal and external techniques and possesses a range of Kung Fu skills . He had virtually attained perfection . If he was not attacked by underhand means, he would not have turned out like this," said Zhou Xiong .

"When they duel, do they not openly challenge each other?"

"Hehe, nope," Zhou Xiong said . "Uncle dueled with that person on a hill peak with only a few spectators . "

"How did he get attacked?'

"That person used a hidden weapon dipped in poison . Not just Uncle, the surrounding people who witnessed the duel were injured as well . They were not as seriously hurt as Uncle . By the time we rushed there, it was already too late," said Zhou Xiong .

. . . . Let me prescribe a decoction that can detoxify the poison, said w.a.n.g Yao . Oh, thats lucky . I can witness my young friends miraculous work again, replied Mr . Sang delightedly . In the systems lattice, w.a.n.g Yao found that there were a few sprigs of antidote herb . While alone in the room, w.a.n.g Yao started to prepare the decoction .
