"It's not enough…" Looking at the bonus points, w.a.n.g Yao sighed .

After tilling the fields, he prepared to plant another batch of seeds .

Closer to evening, just as he was preparing to leave Nanshan hill, he received a phone call from Li Maoshuang . The herbs that he ordered had been purchased but needed a while more before they were delivered . Some of the herbs could arrive earlier, within three days . The rest would only come within a week .

After hanging up, he received another call, this time for Zhou Xiong . Through the phone, Zhou Xiong explained his uncle's situation .

"His channels are shriveling up?"

w.a.n.g Yao knew immediately that the situation was severe . He would have to rush over to Cangzhou as soon as he could .

"I'll get there as soon as I can," w.a.n.g Yao said .

"I'll make the arrangements . When can you go? I'll book the flight tickets . "

"No need . I'll get the tickets myself . "

Flight tickets could be purchased over the internet and was now very convenient . Furthermore, it wasn't the holiday season, so there were many flight tickets available .

The flight timing was in the late morning, departing from Haiqu City .

Zhou Xiong also got tickets for him and his son on the same flight to Cangzhou as w.a.n.g Yao . As of now, Zhou Wukang's situation had improved greatly, whereas Zhou Wuyi's condition took a downturn . They needed to go back to visit him . Anyway, with w.a.n.g Yao in Cangzhou, there was no need for the two of them to stay in Lianshan County .

They were seated in the first-cla.s.s section, where there weren't too many people .

w.a.n.g Yao's seat was pretty good . He had a window seat and could view the pa.s.sing scenery . Throughout the journey, he stared at the clouds pa.s.sing by . He found it a pity that he couldn't see the giants walking on the clouds .

There wasn't any airport in Cangzhou itself . They disembarked at Tianjin, which was a fair distance from Cangzhou . When they disembarked, transportation was already arranged by the Zhou family and was waiting for them outside .

They got into the car and sped off towards Cangzhou .

Actually, the time taken by plane and car was about the same compared to taking a train directly from Haiqu City to Cangzhou .

"Sorry to trouble you, Dr . w.a.n.g," Zhou Ying said . He was driving the car .

"It's alright," w.a.n.g Yao replied .

"How's Uncle's condition?" Zhou Xiong asked .

"It's like we said on the phone . Master Sang has already made a diagnosis . If nothing is done, his channels will slowly shrivel up, after which he'll become paralyzed," Zhou Ying said .

Zhou Xiong didn't reply . The atmosphere within the car became a little uncomfortable .

Because of his anxiety, Zhou Ying did not realize that the speed he was going at had increased, exceeding the 120 km/h speed limit .

"Slow down," w.a.n.g Yao said coolly .

The other party was anxious, that he could understand . After all, it was his father on the sickbed . However, it was evident that he was fl.u.s.tered, and driving in this condition was dangerous . Furthermore, it was clear that he was recklessly pus.h.i.+ng the speed limit, and he had a few pa.s.sengers with him in the car .

"I'm sorry," Zhou Ying responded, reducing his speed .

Two hours later, they arrived at Cangzhou . By this point, it was noon .

"Dr . w.a.n.g, would you like something to eat first?" Zhou Xiong asked .

"No thank you . Let's go directly to see the patient; that's more important . "

"Okay . "

That was also what Zhou Xiong and the rest were hoping . However, w.a.n.g Yao was an esteemed guest, and they had to cater to his needs .

Not long later, they arrived at the village . It looked exactly like before . The car stopped in front of the big house .

"Dr . w.a.n.g, please . "

In the bedroom, Zhou Wuyi was lying down on the bed . He had regained his lucidity but nevertheless still looked extremely gaunt like a dried corpse . His eyes were also dull .

"Dad, this is Dr . w.a.n.g who saved you last time . "

"Dr . w.a.n.g," Zhou Wuyi croaked . His voice was hoa.r.s.e and dry like an old windbox .

His pulmonary vein was injured .

Just from that one utterance, w.a.n.g Yao had determined the problem .

Of course, it wasn't as simple as that . During this time in which w.a.n.g Yao had not seen him, his body condition had deteriorated, and he was like a lamp that was on its last bit of oil . If not for the Prolongation Pill and Revitalization Soup that w.a.n.g Yao prescribed, he would probably not have lasted until now .

A bitter and stale air emanated from his body . This was the result of when one's organs were failing .

"It's quite serious," w.a.n.g Yao said . He had determined this from what he had heard about Zhou Wuyi's condition .

w.a.n.g Yao came to the bedside and reached out to take Zhou Wuyi's pulse .

Compared to the last time he came, some parts had improved . However, the rest of Zhou Wuyi's body had become much worse than before .

Seeing w.a.n.g Yao's expression become more and more serious, Zhou Xiong and the rest knew that the situation was not good . Traces of worry appeared on their faces .

After w.a.n.g Yao was done with his diagnosis, Zhou Xiong's father came in .

"How is it, Dr . w.a.n.g?"

"Let's talk outside . "

"Okay . "

They went out into the living room .

"It's not good," w.a.n.g Yao said . "I need the following herbs . Please try to get it as quickly as possible . "

He took out a list of herbs . This wasn't the formula for Regather Soup but another similar soup with similar effects . The herbs needed were normal herbs . He had tried this formula on Wei Hai, and it turned out to be effective . Of course, it was not as magical as Regather Soup .

"I'll go settle it immediately," Zhou Ying said, taking the list from w.a.n.g Yao .

"Before you go, take a break and have a meal . We've been rus.h.i.+ng for time the entire journey; you must be tired . "

They ate at home, but for w.a.n.g Yao, the dishes were incomparably delicious and extravagant .

At the dining table, Zhou Xiong's father consistently expressed his grat.i.tude towards w.a.n.g Yao . He knew that only this doctor in front of him could cure his brother .

After lunch, w.a.n.g Yao went to take a break .

…

Zhou Ying had already returned with most of the necessary herbs .

"I need to check one more time," w.a.n.g Yao said . He wanted to make another diagnosis on the patient . Earlier, he had thought of something and wanted to confirm it .

"Okay . "

This time, w.a.n.g Yao was exceptionally detailed in his diagnosis . Besides the pulse, w.a.n.g Yao inspected all the channels in Zhou Wuyi's body . He discovered that there was one particular area in which the channels were all disrupted and in a mess . It was really serious .

His condition was markedly different from Zhou Xiong's son . Zhou Wukang's problem was merely an obstruction of the vessels . Zhou Wuyi's problem, however, was that some of the channels were disrupted, even broken, and needed to be reconnected . This was not something w.a.n.g Yao could do at the present moment .

After getting a more detailed understanding of the problem, w.a.n.g Yao returned to his room to thoroughly consider his plan of action .

Evidently, it wasn't easy to treat these various diseases . Over the past few months, he had encountered various types of problems, with varying levels of difficulty . Some were less serious like Secretary Yang's mother and Wei Hai, who were both close to recovery . In Wei Hai's case, there was a mishap that delayed the treatment . A more serious case would be Zhou Wuyi's right now . He had no method to immediately treat him .

How about trying out the Blood Deblocking Powder?

This was something that w.a.n.g Yao had on hand right now .

w.a.n.g Yao retrieved the Blood Deblocking Powder from his bag and inspected it . Then, he came to the bedside and instructed someone to prepare it for the patient . Following that, he waited to see if there were any changes in Zhou Wuyi's condition, occasionally taking his pulse .

The effect of this medicine was not merely clearing away obstructions . More importantly, it also helped to strengthen the tensile strength of the surrounding walls of the various vessels .

It was effective .

w.a.n.g Yao decided to continue using this medicine . However, he took care not to prescribe too large a dose . Not only would that not help the patient, but there could also be undesirable side effects .

As it was getting closer to evening, Sang Guzi arrived at the village .

"Long time no see, young friend . "

"h.e.l.lo, Master Sang," w.a.n.g Yao replied respectfully .

"We meet again . " Master Sang had a cheerful expression, and a smile hung on his face .

"Uncle Sang?"

"Mmmm . "

They gathered in the living room .

"Is your father any better?" Sang Guzi asked .

"It's not too optimistic . This afternoon, Dr . w.a.n.g gave him some medicine . We need to wait a while to see if there's any effect," Zhou Ying answered .

"Do you have any method to treat him, young friend?" Sang Guzi asked w.a.n.g Yao .

"Not yet, no . We can only try and see if something works," w.a.n.g Yao replied honestly .

"Uh-huh," Sang Guzi nodded his head .

In his opinion, Zhou Wuyi's condition could be considered terminal . At the moment, there was no hope of treatment as all his vessels were in a mess . Unless there was some kind of heavenly elixir, there was no possibility of recovery . Nonetheless, some unexpected surprise could happen . For example, the previous time, this young fellow had produced a pill that brought Zhou Wuyi back from the brink of death . That scene was still fresh in Sang Guzi's memory .

"A while back, I went to Qi province . . . ," Sang Guzi suddenly recounted .

"Hmm?"

"I went to the island to see a patient with a strange illness . "

"The island?" w.a.n.g Yao's curiosity was piqued .

"It was a disease caused by excess Yang energy," Sang Guzi continued .

Once Sang Guzi mentioned this, w.a.n.g Yao had an inkling of who this patient was .

"Is that person surnamed Sun?"

"Hmm?" Sang Guzi was surprised . "You've seen this patient?"

"I've met him," w.a.n.g Yao laughed as he replied .

"How is he?" Sang Guzi asked about the patient's condition .

"Just like Master Zhou right now—his condition is extremely hard to treat," w.a.n.g Yao said .

"Mmm, over the years, I've seen my fair share of strange illnesses . However, it's also my first time seeing a condition like his . For him to live until now is quite shocking . Could it be that you did something to help him?" Sang Guzi asked .

"No, I saw him, but I didn't treat him . "

The Zhou family asked Master Sang to stay for dinner .

Master Sang lived nearby and had known the Zhou family for many years . In addition to that, he was someone with exceptional medical skills . Therefore, he always had a good relations.h.i.+p with the Zhou family .

After dinner, w.a.n.g Yao went to look at Zhou Wuyi once more . He took Zhou Wuyi's pulse again before confirming that the Blood Deblocking Powder was effective .

The herbs he needed had been prepared by Zhou Ying since the evening . Even the equipment he needed to decoct medicine had been prepared .

"I can start decocting the medicine tomorrow . "

That night, the Zhou family had a few more people and relatives at their house .

Normally speaking, people rarely came to visit a patient at night because that was considered inauspicious . For them to come right now must mean that something urgent was happening . w.a.n.g Yao could hear some noises next door as though there were people quarreling about something .

Its not enough… Looking at the bonus points, w.a.n.g Yao sighed . After tilling the fields, he prepared to plant another batch of seeds . Closer to evening, just as he was preparing to leave Nanshan hill, he received a phone call from Li Maoshuang . The herbs that he ordered had been purchased but needed a while more before they were delivered . Some of the herbs could arrive earlier, within three days . The rest would only come within a week .
