"Shall we have dinner together tonight?" asked Wei Hai .

"No, thanks, I have to meet someone else . Shall we have dinner on another day?" said w.a.n.g Yao .

"Sure," said Wei Hai .

. . .

Tong Wei was busy cooking dinner with her mother in her home .

"When will w.a.n.g Yao come?" asked Tong Wei's mother .

"Soon, he needs to run some errands first," said Tong Wei . "Mom, why do you want to invite him for dinner?"

"I just want to thank him!" said Tong Wei's mother . "The decoction he brought for me the other day was very effective . I felt much better after taking it . I went to the hospital to get checked several days ago . The doctor there said I'm getting better . I believe it was because of the decoction . Your schoolmate is such as good doctor!"

"I think w.a.n.g Yao is a good young man," Tong Wei's mother added .

"Mom, your att.i.tude towards him changed so fast!" said Tong Wei with a smile .

"What do you mean?" asked Tong Wei's mother .

"I remember you didn't like him very much the last time he was here," said Tong Wei .

Tong Wei was telling the truth . Her parents didn't treat w.a.n.g Yao well when w.a.n.g Yao brought her mother the decoction . Tong Wei was not home last time, but she could guess what had happened . After all, she was present during w.a.n.g Yao's first visit to her home . Her mother showed obvious recognition and appreciation to w.a.n.g Yao this time .

"When did I say I didn't like him? I thought you were dating Yang Ming last time," said Tong Wei's mother .

Tong Wei knew her mother was looking for an excuse, but she didn't expose her . She just smiled .

After leaving Wei Hai's place, w.a.n.g Yao went to buy some presents for Tong Wei's parents before heading to her home .

"You just bought us some stuff in the morning, you don't need to buy us things again," said Tong Wei's mother with a smile .

"Just some fresh fruits," said w.a.n.g Yao .

"Please come in and take a seat . Tong Wei! Don't worry about the food, come out and chat with w.a.n.g Yao . " Tong Wei's mother shouted at Tong Wei, who was busying preparing food in the kitchen .

In a short while, dishes were taken to the dinner table . The banquet was sumptuous . Tong Wei's father even opened some fine wine .

"Would you like some wine?" asked Tong Wei's father .

"No, thanks, I need to drive later," declined w.a.n.g Yao politely .

Tong Wei's parents were much more talkative during dinner than the last time they met . They asked w.a.n.g Yao some questions . After dinner, Tong Wei's parents cleared the table and looked for an excuse to go out so that they could leave some s.p.a.ce for Tong Wei and w.a.n.g Yao .

"What are you going to do tomorrow?" asked Tong Wei .

"My auntie's family came back . They will visit my grandma tomorrow . I want to go with them . Do you want to come with me?" asked w.a.n.g Yao .

"I can't . I have to visit my auntie tomorrow," said Tong Wei .

"How about tomorrow evening? Do you want to come to my home?" asked w.a.n.g Yao .

"Okay," said Tong Wei .

"I'll pick you up tomorrow," said w.a.n.g Yao .

"Okay," said Tong Wei .

The two of them then watched some TV, ate some fruits and talked a bit . Soon, it was 9 pm .

"I have to go now . Say goodbye to your parents for me . Ask them to come back early to rest," said w.a.n.g Yao .

"Sure, drive safe . Call me when you are home," said Tong Wei .

"Okay, see you," said w.a.n.g Yao .

w.a.n.g Yao slowly drove off . Tong Wei didn't go back until she couldn't see the back of w.a.n.g Yao's vehicle anymore . She then called her parents to let them know w.a.n.g Yao had left and they can come home to rest .

After w.a.n.g Yao had arrived at home, he parked his car outside and said goodbye to his parents . As soon as he was going to return to Nanshan hill, his mother stopped him and started asking questions .

"How is everything going between you and Tong Wei?" asked Zhang Xiuying . "When will she come here? Are you going to bring her to your grandma's place tomorrow?"

"Mom, she's got a lot to do during the holiday . She's going to visit her auntie and other relatives tomorrow," said w.a.n.g Yao . "Well, I'll talk to you tomorrow . I need to go back to Nanshan hill . " w.a.n.g Yao turned around and walked out of his home .

"Hey, I haven't finished!" shouted Zhang Xiuying .

After w.a.n.g Yao had returned to Nanshan hill, he started to prepare the herbs for the decoctions he was going to brew for Wei Hai . He would continue to make Deworming powder for Wei Hai . Miasma gra.s.s would be the dominating herb in the Deworming powder . But, w.a.n.g Yao was going to make a slight adjustment to the decoction as Wei Hai had been getting better . Still, he was not completely cured . It will take some time for him to completely recover . w.a.n.g Yao wanted to change the number of herbs accordingly to see whether it was going to work better .

I still need to think over how to kill all the poisonous insects inhabiting the organs, thought w.a.n.g Yao .

. . .

Inside a quiet house somewhere in the Dao City, something was happening .

A man was tied to a bed . He was skinny . His eyes were red, and his teeth were clenching . He looked like a demon .  

Next, to the bed, there were three men . One of them was a middle-aged man with a serious look on his face . He looked miserable while looking at the young man tied to the bed . Another man was in his 30's . He stood as straight as a javelin with a poker face . The last person was in his 70's . His hair had turned white, and he looked tired .

"Mr . Sun, I'm so sorry . There is nothing I can do!" said the man in his 70's .

"Thank you, Dr . Wu," said the middle-aged man .

"Aye!" sighed Dr . Wu . Then he turned around and walked downstairs .

"Sir," said the poker-faced man . His voice was cold and hoa.r.s.e .

"Do you think Yunsheng was beyond cure?" asked Mr . Sun .

"G.o.d will help young master . He will be fine," said the poker-faced man .

"Stop saying something like that . Look at him! How will G.o.d help him?" said Mr . Sun .

"I heard there is a very good doctor in Cangzhou whose name is Sang Guzi . He's an extraordinary doctor, and a lot of people call him a miraculous doctor . Maybe we should ask him to see the young master . By the way, are you going to Beijing soon?" asked the poker-faced man .

"Yes, I will go to Beijing tomorrow . Ask about that Sang Guzi for me," said the middle-aged man .

"Sure," said the poker-faced man .

…

It was gloomy the next morning .

On top of Nanshan hill, sounds of something splitting the air went on and on, as if something was cracking . It was w.a.n.g Yao practicing the air splitting fist, which was doc.u.mented in the book Zhou Xiong gave him, meaning splitting the air with one's fist . Air splitting fist was quite fierce . One had to put all the strength into one's fist when practicing .

When w.a.n.g Yao was practicing piercing punches, two men came to Nanshan hill . One was an adult, and the other was a child . It was Zhou Xiong and his son . They followed the path leading to w.a.n.g Yao's cottage .

"h.e.l.lo, Dr . w.a.n.g," greeted Zhou Xiong .

"h.e.l.lo, Uncle w.a.n.g," greeted Zhou Wukang .

"h.e.l.lo, please come in," said w.a.n.g Yao .

w.a.n.g Yao invited Zhou Xiong and Zhou Wukang into the cottage . Zhou Xiong had called w.a.n.g Yao to make sure he was on the hill before bringing his son here .

"Come here, Wukang, let me take a look at you," said w.a.n.g Yao .

w.a.n.g Yao sat down to check Zhou Wukang's pulse . According to his pulse, the condition of his arm hadn't changed, but his general well-being had improved .

"Let me ma.s.sage your arm," said w.a.n.g Yao .

w.a.n.g Yao used his mind and his Qi to transfer all his strength into his hands . Then, he followed the meridians in Zhou Wukang's arm to ma.s.sage it, using the method he learned from the system . He pressed or patted Zhou Wukang's arm using his inner strength . After a while, Zhou Wukang's skinny arm became very red, like it was beaten by a piece of wood .

"How do you feel?" asked w.a.n.g Yao .

"I feel a bit warm and a bit painful," said Zhou Wukang honestly .

"Is the pain bad?" asked w.a.n.g Yao .

"Not really, just mild pain," said Zhou Wukang

w.a.n.g Yao checked Zhou Wukang's pulse again before putting twice more strength onto his arm .

"Shall we come to see you in a few days?" asked Zhou Xiong .

"Yes," said w.a.n.g Yao .

After w.a.n.g Yao had finished ma.s.saging Zhou Wukang's arm, he started to chat with Zhou Xiong .

"Are you available now?" w.a.n.g Yao asked Zhou Xiong out of the blue .

"Yes, why?" said Zhou Xiong .

"Can you practice Kung Fu with me?" asked w.a.n.g Yao . It was a sudden rise in interest .

"Sure!" said Zhou Xiong without hesitation . He used to practice Kung Fu all the time and liked to have a company while practicing . However, he hadn't practiced Kung Fu for a long time due to his son's illness . His Kung Fu skills were still intact, but he didn't show it normally . One was supposed to use Kung Fu to fight or kill, not to perform .

w.a.n.g Yao and Zhou Xiong came to a vacant land on the hill .

"We can start now," said w.a.n.g Yao .

"Sure," said Zhou Xiong .

w.a.n.g Yao made a pose slowly, but Zhou Xiong ignored him and tried to punch him straight away . Zhou Xiong was so fast that his fist was like a machine gun . He was a master of Xingyi style, so his fists were very fierce and straightforward . There was nothing indirect in the way he attacked . w.a.n.g Yao used Tai Chi to respond . He used a technique to resolve Zhou Xiong's attack .

Their movement gradually sped up . At the beginning, Zhou Xiong attacked w.a.n.g Yao with caution . Although w.a.n.g Yao was a genius in Kung Fu and extremely intelligent, he hadn't practiced Kung Fu for a long time . He was lacking in the fighting department . Zhou Xiong didn't want to hurt w.a.n.g Yao accidentally, so he didn't try his best to attack and only used 60% of his strength and techniques . But after some time, he was really impressed by w.a.n.g Yao's improvement .

This guy's experience in fighting has improved so much! thought Zhou Xiong .

Tai Chi's technique, w.a.n.g Yao's extraordinary strength, and the running Qi inside his body made w.a.n.g Yao's attacks extremely powerful . Even though Zhou Xiong had practiced Kung Fu for over 20 years, he could only just match w.a.n.g Yao after using up all his strength and techniques . In such circ.u.mstances, if he continued to withhold his skills, he would lose the fight in a very ugly way .

Air splitting fist!

w.a.n.g Yao suddenly changed his style of attack from sweetness and light into fierce and overwhelming .

He hit out extremely fast .

It was too late for Zhou Xiong to dodge . He had to resist w.a.n.g Yao's fist with both of his hands .

However, w.a.n.g Yao's fist was too fast and fierce for Zhou Xiong to resist . His body flew out and hit a tree, making the tree leaves rustle .

"Dad!" Zhou Wukang ran to Zhou Xiong immediately .

"Sorry, are you okay?" w.a.n.g Yao was also anxious . He went to check whether Zhou Xiong was injured immediately .

"I'm fine, don't worry . " Zhou Xiong stood up and slapped the dust off his clothes .

"Well done!" said Zhou Xiong who moved his numb hands . If he hadn't responded in time just now to weaken w.a.n.g Yao's strength by half, he would end up with fractured arms .

"What technique did you use to attack me?" asked Zhou Xiong .

"Air splitting fist, I thought you knew it," said w.a.n.g Yao .

"Air splitting fist? The one doc.u.mented in Quanjing?" asked Zhou Xiong in surprise .

"Yes, don't tell me you haven't practiced it before," replied w.a.n.g Yao .

"Of course, I've practiced it before, but not as fiercely as what you did," said Zhou Xiong .

He was very familiar with the Kung Fu doc.u.mented in Quanjing and remembered almost every single description . He had also practiced most of the techniques doc.u.mented in Quanjing, so he was quite familiar with them . He knew about the air splitting fist which valued conception instead of formation .

"I learned it from Quanjing," said w.a.n.g Yao .

. . . . Shall we have dinner together tonight? asked Wei Hai . No, thanks, I have to meet someone else . Shall we have dinner on another day? said w.a.n.g Yao . Sure, said Wei Hai Tong Wei was busy cooking dinner with her mother in her home . When will w.a.n.g Yao come? asked Tong Weis mother . Soon, he needs to run some errands first, said Tong Wei . Mom, why do you want to invite him for dinner? I just want to thank him! said Tong Weis mother . The decoction he brought for me the other day was very effective .
