Chapter 508: A Decaying Body Without Vigor

Professor Lu knew it was bad by looking at Wang Yao’s complexion.

“How about it, Dr. Wang?” he asked

“Do you want to know the truth?” Wang Yao asked

“Yes,” Professor Lu said.

“It is bad, really bad,” Wang Yao said.

Her disease could be summed up in one sentence: It was beyond any remedy. Wang Yao did not speak this sentence out loud. He found that Qi Wan’s complexion became even bleaker after hearing his words.

He was afraid that his words would be a more severe strike to her. She did not have much confidence to support herself. And, there would be no treatment if she collapsed. The most threatening thing for a human was no spiritual support.

“Do you have any way?” the professor asked.

“I could try if you trust me,” Wang Yao replied.

“Really?” Professor Lu was surprised.

“Yes, but I am not sure I can completely manage it,” Wang Yao said.

“Xiao Wan?” Professor Lu looked at the woman beside him in a begging way.

“Then, we could have a try,” the woman said without energy. In fact, she had no other choice. She would rather give it a shot bravely than calmly wait for death.

Wang Yao did not go on to treat her because he needed a comparatively systematic treatment plan. Her disease was a bit like that of Su Xiaoxue’s, which were all about quite severe damage of organs in typical “difficult miscellaneous diseases.”

“You’d better live nearby because the treatment might last a period,” Wang Yao said.

“No problem. I will find a recommendation as soon as possible,” Qi Wan said.

“And, there is a bit more,” Wang Yao said. “The treatment fee will be fairly high.”

As for the treatment, it could not work in a common way. He had to use some licorice roots.

“No problem!” Professor Lu responded before Qi Wan could reply.

“Good, and let’s start,” Wang Yao said.

The treatment was actually quite simple. Wang Yao gave her a massage to help her move muscles and bones to dredge her Qi and blood. Qi and blood were not circulated well when the body was in decay. Her disease had already been into the organs and expelled the vigor.

The massage lasted for nearly one hour. When Qi Wan got up again, her face was ruddier.

“How are you feeling now?” Professor Lu asked carefully.

“I feel better, and my body seems to not be as heavy as before,” Qi Wan said.

The effect of the massage was quite obvious, especially for someone with a severe disease. She could feel the change in her body. And, of course, it was becoming better.

“Good, come again in two days,” Wang Yao said.

Professor Lu supported Qi Wang with his hand as they left.

Soon after, Wang Mingbao came into the clinic. “Did the two people who just left come to you for treatment.”

“Yes,” Wang Yao replied.

“I don’t suppose they are a couple, but he called her Xiao Wan, which is quite genial,” Wang Mingbao said.

“How do you know they are not a couple?” Wang Yao asked with a smile.

“It is my intuition, a man’s intuition,” Wang Mingbao said.

“Ah, aren’t you busy today?” Wang Yao asked.

“Nope, not busy. I came to you for something,” Wang Mingbao said.

“Go ahead,” Wang Yao said.

“I guess you know Feng Shui?” Wang Mingbao asked.

“Yes, and why?” Wang Yao was a bit surprised.

“I heard that a Feng Shui master came to our village and said the Feng Shui here is not good, so…” Wang Mingbao was quickly interrupted.

“You came here for that? Don’t listen to them. It is no matter,” Wang Yao said.

“Really?” Wang Mingbao

“Yeah, I suppose,” Wang Yao replied.

“Don’t tell me ‘suppose,’” Wang Mingbao said.

“We can talk about it in a few days,” Wang Yao said.

“Good, as long as you mean it,” Wang Mingbao said.

Wang Yao thought about how to treat Qi Wan’s miscellanies disease after sending Wang Mingbao out.

Primarily, her disease was kidney failure. Her kidney had lost half of its original functions, so it was so difficult to think of how to recover it. At least, for now, no one had succeeded. But, Wang Yao was different.

Muscle Revitalization Powder. Wang Yao thought about this prescription first. It removed necrotic tissues, cured trauma, reduced pain, and promoted granulation.

He had used the medicine to treat Su Xiaoxue. It was quite effective in recovering damaged tissues, including the skin and muscle. It was also fairly good at rehabilitating the scathing organs.

This medicine could be used. What’s more, he also thought of other two licorice roots. Changyang could open pores on the heart, supplement five internal organs, and remove obstruction among nine apertures in the body. Everlasting grass calmed the viscera, repaired damage, and was beneficial to the stomach.

Both of the herbs could be used to calm and supplement the five organs—the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys.

“I have to make up another prescription based on the two licorice roots,” Wang Yao murmured to himself.

The kidney governed water, possessed the essence and blood, and was yin. It was the origin of congenital constitution.

Wang Yao started assembling countless medical knowledge from his mind, which spared him from the bother of looking through medicine books.

Gorgon fruit, polygonum multiflorum, white poria… Wang Yao recorded them while thinking.

For the afternoon and night, he thought about it over and over again. He finally decided on the prescription. He planned on boiling down the herbs the next day. That night, he prepared all the medical herbs he would need.

In the morning, the sky was poor gray. Wang Yao induced Qi and practiced on Nanshan Hill. He then practiced boxing.

He raised his head to look at the sky.

The firewood burning was making a cracking sound. There were some ordinary Chinese medical materials ready to boil, including red vaseline, litharge powder, fritillary, and keel. The medicine also needed three licorice roots: everlasting grass, lingshanji, and guiyuan. The price of this prescription was over $1 million.

The fragrance of the drugs flouted out evenly. He boiled it until the efficacy of all materials were integrated. He had decocted the Muscle Revitalization Powder many times, but this was his first time to boil down another medicine.

He added the medical materials in one by one based on the same rules. But, the materials were different. Wang Yao looked over the color of the medical soup and smelled it based on the drug properties.

When it was finished, it was a deep color. Two doses of the medicine were finished.

By the time he was done, it had snowed a little outside.

…

In Jing…

“Doctor, please.” Sun Dacheng and his son went to Wei, Ji and Jing within less than 20 days. It was thousands of miles of traveling. They had transferred their son to several big hospitals. The effort made Sun Dacheng appear 10 years older.

“I’ll try my best,” Sun Dacheng said.

The hospital in Jing finally accepted them. One in the provincial city had promised to treat his son, but they were still worried. So, they came to Jing instead.

“But, you’d better do some preparation in your mind,” the doctor said.

He knew the condition of the patient, who suffered from many hard-to-treat diseases. One of them was quite fatal.

“Ah!”

The couple had to put all their wishes on to the doctors in Jing. They had found it difficult to seek treatment. Thought they saved some money and benefited from their reputation via running business in Zhu, in the provincial city, they had no other options except to wait for the experts, which was a torment for them. They could get anything and everything for their son, except when it came to diseases.

“God please bless Honglin.”

…

It had only snowed lightly, but there were no patients in the clinic. Wang Yao raised his head to look outside. He then went out to the west side of the mountain. He came to the place he been the day before.

He went into the bottomland. There was a small pine in his hand. He put his fingers together, like a knife, to dig a hole on the ground to plant the tree. He then watered it with a bucket of water he had brought.

He had prepared all of this on the mountain and put them in the system parcel. Half of the water was ancient spring water. The other half was the mountain spring water. Both of them were not ordinary.

Then, he went to another plain. He again planted a pine and watered it using the same bucket of water.

It would typically be a failure to transplant trees in winter, especially when it was so cold, but he still wanted to have a try on a whim. So, he did it with the miraculous ancient spring water. He wanted to know what eccentric characteristics these two places had via the two pines.

The next morning, he came back to the two places on Nanshan Hill. He watered them again with two buckets of water. “Grow up quickly!”

He came back to the clinic after watering the two pines. He had an appointment with Professor Lu and Qi Wan, who would take the medicine.

It was nearly 10 a.m. when they arrived at the clinic.

“It is so cold!” Qi Wan felt extremely cold. This coldness was different. It was as if it directly penetrated into her bone marrow.
