Wang Yao was still in the clinic. There was an irritable sound of knocking on the door. He looked up at the clock hanging on the wall.

“Please come in.” The sound was not loud, but it still went out through the window and the small courtyard to the outside of the door. The people standing outside could hear it clearly.

The person outside the door heard the sound, pushed open the door, and came in. It was Wu Tongxing. He had some sweat on his forehead.

“Hello, Dr. Wang,” he said.

“Mr. Wu?” Wang Yao was a little surprised. He hadn’t thought Wu Tongxing would come again in such a short time. How many times had he come?

“I have to bother you again.” Wu Tongxing was very anxious. After seeing Wang Yao, he restored his former calmness.

“Has the patient’s condition worsened?” Wang Yao asked.

“Yes, it is very dangerous,” Wu Tongxing said. “Please, I beg you to go to Jing.”

This time, Wang Yao did not refuse him. Wu Tongxing had come four times. He was patient and sincere. He was not an ordinary person. He didn’t have the slightest bit of arrogance, which was very rare.

Wang Yao thought for a while and then said, “You’d better stay in Lianshan County tonight. I am going to prepare a prescription for you to take back tomorrow.”

Wu Tongxing was relieved hearing his words. “Then, I will leave.”

“Be careful on your way,” Wang Yao said.

Wu Tongxing had been on a flight. He rushed all the way to the clinic. His anxiousness had made him really tired. He went back to the car, laid down, and fell asleep.

“Drive slowly,” the accompanying secretary told the driver.

The sky was already dark. The car was driving on the mountain road stably.

“Is there a patient again?” Wang Yao’s mother asked.

“Well, one came when it was dark,” Wang Yao replied. “Let’s eat.”

After eating, Wang Yao went to Nanshan Hill. He needed to prepare medicines and boil down a dose of regather soup.

He was familiar with Tongxing’s family illness. The current situation was due to further deterioration caused by the illness. Plus, the patient was old and suffering. Under those dual factors, too much of the body’s foundation was consumed. This situation was like that of Wei Hai, Su Xiaoxue, and Sun Yunsheng. The first thing was not to cure the lesions but to consolidate the body foundation and supplement the body. Only then could the body have enough capital to fight the disease.

Ginseng, matrimony vine, sealwort, qian shi, glossy ganoderma, shanjing, guiyuan… Wang Yao prepared all the herbs needed for the night.

He had seen a lot of patients recently. The points he had accumulated were enough. There were also enough shanjing and guiyuan in the medical field, so he could prepare the medicine.

Wang Yao though, This medicine might only temporarily save his life. Although he had not seen the patient, he could guess that his condition was very serious. Otherwise he would not have urged Wu Tongxing to stay overnight.

“Director, we’ve arrived at the hotel.” The accompanying secretary prepared the room before he woke up his leader.

“Oh, good.” Tongxing got up and rubbed his face. “It’s cold outside.”

It was really cold, but the cold was a bit softer than in Jing.

After arriving to his room, Wu Tongxing called his family and asked about his father’s condition. “Elder brother, how is dad going on?”

“He’s sustained temporarily. What about you?” his brother asked.

“I have already seen him. He said that he is going to prepare a medicine,” Wu Tongxing said. “I will pick it up tomorrow.”

“Has he agreed to come to Jing?” his brother asked.

“No,” Wu Tongxing replied.

“He is…” His elder brother felt a little angry. There were only few people who dare to not give him face in Jing, let alone in a small mountain village.

“Brother, don’t worry. Since he agreed to give us medicine, it is a good start,” Wu Tongxing said.

“Good,” his brother said.

After hanging up the phone, Wu Tongxing took a hot bath and quickly fell asleep.

The next day, the weather was gloomy. On Nanshan Hill, firewood was burned after the sound of smashing. There was a unique scent of medicine floating out of the hut.

Wang Yao sat next to the fire, slowly boiling down the medical soup and adding a few pieces of firewood from time to time. This medicine was the one he decocted the most frequently and was most familiar with.

He was very familiar with the amount of medicinal material, order of addition, color change of the medicinal agent, and even the change in odor. He could judge whether the medicine was suitable by looking at the color and smelling it.

At the foot of the mountain, Wu Tongxing came to the clinic early. He found that Wang Yao was not in the clinic, so he waited in the car and looked at his watch from time to time.

“Director, let me go to his home to have a look?” his driver said.

“Don’t go, just wait,” Wu Tongxing said.

They waited for nearly an hour in the car before they saw Wang Yao coming slowly down the mountain road.

“Director, he is coming,” the driver said.

“Ah.” Wu Tongxing got off the car.

“You’re so early!” Wang Yao saw the car and sped up his pace. “Sorry, I have kept you waiting long.”

“We just came.” Wu Tongxing smiled.

“Go into the room. It’s cold outside,” Wang Yao said.

It was cloudy and cold. When the wind blew on the face, it made it hurt.

In the clinic, Wang Yao took out the medicine he had prepared. “This is regather soup, which can be used to consolidate the body foundation.”

“It is the drug!” Wu Tongxing’s eyes lit up. He had heard about it from Chen Lao.

“This is the method of taking the medicine. The medicine is a warm-toning medicine, and the dosage can be appropriately increased,” Wang Yao said.

“Oh, OIK. Thank you. What about the fee?” Wu Tongxing asked.

“One million,” Wang Yao said.

Wu Tongxing paid without any more words except gratitude. “Thank you.”

“Wait a minute, I have a few pills for you here. I think your diligence these days is worthy.” Wang Yao took out three Nine Herbs pills and gave them to him. “These are Nine Herbs pills, which can be taken in crisis to alleviate the disease.”

Although the pills were not as magical as a prolongation pill, they could still work to a certain degree.

“Thank you. Thank you very much!” Wu Tongxing subconsciously believed they were the medicine Chen Lao had mentioned that could save a life even if a person was almost died. He was given three at one time. “And the fee?”

“No, I’m giving them to you,” Wang Yao said.

“Well, thank you. This is my contact information,” Wu Tongxing said. “You can call me in the future if you need to.”

“Thanks.” Wang Yao took the piece of paper with the phone number on it.

The accompanying secretary glanced and saw that it was the Director’s private number. He though, How big his face is!

Wu Tongxing hurriedly left. He went directly to Haiqu by car, and then flew to Jing. That evening, after rushing back, he called Chen Lao, asking him to meet with him.

“Look,” Wu Tongxing said.

“This is the medicine!” Chen Lao’s impression on regather soup was extremely deep. He once had a small bit of it and tried to analyze the ingredients. Unfortunately, he did not succeed. “Take it to your dad.”

Wu Tongxing went to see his father and gave him a small cup of medicine with warm water. Thirty minutes after taking the medication, the old man’s breathing was much smoother.

Chen Lao was sitting at the bedside. Although he had experienced it more than once, he still felt surprised. The old man’s pulse had become better. The medicine had immediately worked.

The old man’s doctor drew the same conclusion after analyzing him for a while.

“Director Wu, can you give me a small part of the medicine?” the doctor asked.

“You don’t have to bother,” Chen Lao said. “I tried to ask people to analyze the ingredients of this drug, but it didn’t work.”

“Chen Lao, he gave me three pills,” Wu Tongxing said as he took out the pills. “What medicine is it?”

Chen Lao carefully took one and looked at it. He then smelled it.

“Uncle Chen, is this the medicine?” Wu Tongxing asked.

“Ah, I can’t say. I just saw him use it,” Chen Lao said. “I have never seen it up close, but it looks like it. What’s the name?”

“He said this drug is called Nine Herb pill and that it can be taken when my father’s situation is in crisis,” Wu Tongxing said.

“Nine Herbs pill?” Chen Lao stared at the small pills.
