Chapter 318: The Rapidly Growing Wormwood

“Hello, Dr. Wang. This is my father-in-law.”

Wang Yao cordially greeted him and looked at the old man in front of him. He seemed to be in his 70s. He looked quite well. His eyes were quite bright, but his ears were grim. It was indeed a bit weird.

As Wang Yao was looking at the patient, the patient was looking at him.

He looks so young!

Although his son-in-law had told him this doctor was very young, he was still a little shocked after seeing Wang Yao with his own eyes. It was hard to imagine what marvelous pharmaceutical technology a young man like him would have.

The old man looked good overall, but Wang Yao could tell there were some issues with his kidneys. Judging from the smell, the old man had showered before coming. The fragrance of the shower gel lingered on his body, so it covered some of his peculiar body odor.

The old man’s voice was still quite loud and clear. His lungs were also still quite strong. After feeling his pulse, it was clear he had a major problem. Starting from the torso, some of the large arteries and veins in his legs were obstructed, not to mention the small arteries and veins of the legs.

His channels and collaterals were blocked, so blood was not flowing smoothly. This was why he was unable to move and stand up in his current physical condition.

Wang Yao already knew that his illness was among the diseases that were hard to treat.

“How is it?”

“The channels and collaterals of his legs are blocked. It’s very difficult to treat.”

Chen Boyuan’s father-in-law understood the hidden meaning of Wang Yao’s words and asked in surprise, “Very difficult? Do you have a way?”

“I can give it a try.”

“Father?” Chen Boyuan had to listen to his father-in-law’s opinion first about the matter.

“I’ll give it a try.”

Wang Yao first used the massaging techniques as an external force to stimulate the old man’s channels, collaterals, and acupoints of his legs. He then massaged the acupoints to dredge his blood. Although the effect was a bit poor and the old man had to persist for a long time for it to be effective, Wang Yao could take a closer look at the other conditions in the old man’s legs through the process.

“Do you feel anything?”

“Yes. It feels warm,” the old man replied.

The first massage ended after half an hour.

“Where did you come from?” Wang Yao asked.

“I came from Jing.”

Jing was thousands of miles away.

Wang Yao had a certain level of confidence about the illness. However, the treatment process for it would take time. It could not be cured in a day or two.

“This illness can’t be cured in a short period of time,” Wang Yao told Chen Boyuan straightforwardly..

“How long do you reckon for it to be cured?”

“It’s hard to say.”

Wang Yao was unsure. Until recently, he had only dealt with a few illnesses that were difficult to treat, such as Wei Hai, Zhou Wukang, Secretary Yang’s mother, Su Xiaoxue, and Sun Yunsheng. Except for Sun Yunsheng, who Wang Yao had just been in contact with, the rest of them had been receiving treatments for several months. So far, he had only cured Wei Hai’s strange illness.

“It’ll take at least a few months.”

“Okay. I got it.”

“I’ll first decoct a medicine, but it’ll need a little time. I’ll inform you when the medicine is ready.”

“Thank you.”

Chen Boyuan and his father-in-law stayed at Wang Yao’s medical center for more than an hour and then left.

“Boyuan, is Dr. Wang really that superb?” The old man still did not believe it. After all, through the contact just now, he had yet to discover anything marvelous about the young doctor.

“Father, this is just your first meeting with him. The two divine traditional Chinese medicine doctors in Jing have praised him profusely. You heard what he said. He can heal your illness.”

“It’s fine as long as he can cure it.”

“I’ve already thought about it. If everything else fails, we’ll rent a house here. We’ll go back when your illness is cured,” Chen Boyuan suggested.

When Wang Yao said that the treatment of the illness would require time, he thought of the idea to rent a house nearby and hire someone to take care of the old man until he was cured. His father-in-law was good to him. His support gave Chen Boyuan the status he had. He always remembered that kindness and treated him as his own father.

After Chen Boyuan and his father-in-law left, Wang Yao took out his little book and made a note.

The old man’s channels and collaterals were obstructed and had to be dredged. Judging from the current situation, the best medicine would be the Blood Deblocking powder. He did not have the medicinal herbs to decoct this unique medicine. The Ziyu in the herbal field could be used, but the growth rate of the polygonum vine was somewhat low. If it was used forcibly now, it would be no different to killing the goose that laid the golden eggs. He had to obtain some of it by exchanging through the system.

I’ll exchange some then.

He had already converted most of the wild medicinal herbs delivered by Chen Boyuan into exchange points. Through the exchange, he obtained both the Everlasting grass and Lingshanji, which were used as the main ingredients to decoct the Muscle Revitalization powder. There were still some left.

He could use the Ziyu in the herbal field for the time being. Although it was not fully grown, the remaining points were enough to purchase a polygonum vine.

Next, he chose a time to decoct the two medicines, which were “magical medicine” formulas provided by the system.

…

In Haiqu, Wei Hai was in action. He had already asked someone to contact Zhao Sen. On the other hand, in Ji, He Qisheng had also begun to investigate Li Shaoyang. He did not understand why Li Shaoyang, who was unrelated to Wang Yao, would be at enmity with Wang Yao.

Sigh. I hope the Li family won’t do anything stupid. He was actually worried about Li Shaoyang instead of Wang Yao.

…

Somewhere in Haiqu.

“Brother Sen, I saw Sun Zhengrong from Dao at Wang Yao’s place.”

“Are you sure?”

“I’m sure. I’ve written down the license plate number and asked someone to check it. It’s really Sun Zhengrong’s car.”

“That is weird. Could he have anything to do with Wang Yao?”

“I don’t know, but we’ll have to think about it. Don’t get into trouble because of this matter.”

Zhao Sen really had to give it a good thought. His relationship with Li Shaoyang was only benefit based. They were not even considered friends. He knew the Li family had a lot of power in Ji, but this was Haiqu. It was beyond the Li family’s reach. Sun Zhengrong was different. He was the richest man in Dao and owned assets worth billions. He was definitely a man who was well-connected to the authorities, as well as the underground gang. He had quite a significant amount of power in Haiqu. Rather, it should be said that many people in Haiqu depended on him to earn a living. If someone offended him, the person would be in deep trouble.

“Are you really not mistaken?”

“Brother, I only needed to take a photo.” The young man was being questioned to the point that he wanted to cry.

“Okay. I got it.”

…

On Nanshan Hill in the mountain village.

The others are growing slowly. You’re growing quite fast!

In the herbal field, Wang Yao was staring at a few herbs that were brought back by his sister from Southern Yunnan. Herbs such as the Dendrobium Candidum and snow lotus grew rapidly in the herbal field, especially the wormwood, which could be used as medicine but was highly toxic. It spurted right up.

This herb?

Wang Yao scratched his head while looking at it.

The herb had a miraculous effect on internal and external injuries. However, if it was used improperly, it would be life threatening. In particular to internal use, it had to be properly processed. The dosage also had to be well-controlled.

The herbs I need to use are growing slowly. The herbs I don’t need for the time being are growing rapidly.

He went under the tree and looked at the wild ginseng.

According to the growth habits of the wild ginseng, it liked yin and disliked yang. It was indeed the most preferred herb used to replenish yang Qi. Nature was indeed fascinating. Naturally grown wild ginsengs grew a ternate compound leaf in two years and a palmate compound leaf in five to eight years. Wild ginsengs that had grown for more than 10 years could only grow two leaves. It took six decades to grow a leaf. The Radix Codonopsis Lanceolatae was rare.

Wang Yao had only planted the wild ginseng about half a year ago, yet it had already grown a palmate compound leaf. The second compound leaf had already showed itself. The growth rate of this wild ginseng was several times higher than the one growing in the mountains.

I should’ve planted a few more.

Wang Yao often used the herb, which was the most preferred herb to tonify deficiency. It always had to be obtained through Li Maoshuang.

He processed the medicinal herbs he would soon need on the hill. Then, he made preparations for the decoction of the two medicines.

Panacea was different from other common herbs. He planned to use the aura in the battle array on the hill to increase the efficacy of the medicine. Of course, there was already a tiny bit of “fantasy” feeling to it.

I’ll strive to decoct these two medicines successfully within a week and hand all of them over to Chen Boyuan. He’ll deal with it.

…

Thousands of miles away, in a corner in Cangzhou, the heat had yet to disappear.

“Cough! Cough!” Zhou Xiong’s uncle had already sat up and moved a little.
