Hou Shida suddenly shouted, âAh!â His body tensed and arched like a bow.
Mrs. Li became nervous upon seeing the situation. The King Pharmacist quickly tapped on several parts of his body. Judging from the sounds, he used quite some strength. Instantly, Hou Shida returned to a calm state. It was as if he fell into a coma.
âStrange.â The King Pharmacist spoke softly to his disciple in a dialect that ordinary people could not understand at all. âAh Cheng, go get two Huaqi Pills.â
âYes, Master.â The man in his 30s quickly took out two red pills, which were slightly larger than peanuts, and fed them to Hou Shida.
After a few moments, the King Pharmacist took the young manâs pulse. âWhat a domineering Qi!â
With his methods, it was still difficult to resolve. To be able to practice such Qi, what kind of person could do that?
He suddenly looked up and said, âMore money, $200,000!â
âNo problem,â Mrs. Li said without hesitation.
After several red pills and some acupuncture, plus constant patting with special skills, Hou Shidaâs body was trembling nonstop. He occasionally yelled.
After some ups and downs, the King Pharmacist said, âMmm, all done. Come back in three days!â
âOh, thank you,â Mrs. Li said.
After payment, they carried the sleeping Hou Shida and were about to leave.
âThink about it again,â the King Pharmacist said. âWho made him like this? Tell me the next time you come.â
That sentence was deeply remembered by Mrs. Li. After going out, they left the village. They left two people to stay there to wait. Although the King Pharmacist had asked them to return in three days. If he was in a bad mood after three days, wouldnât they have to continue to wait?
After arriving at the hotel in town, the family doctor immediately carried out an all-round examination of Hou Shidaâs body.
âHow is it?â Mrs. Li asked.
âMmm, the young masterâs physical signs are much better than when he arrived,â the doctor said.
âThatâs good. Keep watching over him,â Mrs. Li said. âYouâll take care of him these three days.â
âYes, Madam,â the doctor replied.
The woman went into the bedroom and made a phone call. âInvestigate this. Within three days, I want to find out what the so-called Qi is and who hurt Shida.â
âIâll do my best, Madam,â the man on the other end of the line replied.
After hanging up, the man sighed.
âWhatâs wrong?â a colleague asked.
âMadam asked me to find out who harmed the third master and to find someone who understands what Qi is,â the man said.
âQi, Qigong?â the colleague asked.
âShould be, and within three days,â the man said.
âHow could that be possible?â the colleague asked. âItâs not that we didnât investigate, but there was no result. This is Dao, so itâs the Sun familyâs territory. If they want to hide something, we foreigners canât uncover anything!â
âWe have to find a way, even if we donât know,â the man said. âYou know how her temper is.â
âShould we go back to the old ways and ask them?â the colleague asked.
âAsk again,â the man replied. âIf they wonât talk, weâll pay more.â
âAlright, Iâll ask again,â the colleague said.
In the summer, events seemed to pass very slowly. After autumn, the weather was still hot but eventually became cooler at night, especially after a rain.
In a hotel in Lianshan County, a middle-aged man was drinking tea while sitting by the window. He was looking out at the night scene of the small town.
The medicine had to be taken for three days. This was the third day. He could feel his body getting better and sturdier. His stomach no longer hurt. The feeling of nausea and abdominal distension had disappeared. He had a good appetite now. He ordered several more dishes at dinner and ate happily.
The medicine had worked. That doctor was capable. Now, he was looking forward to the next day.
The next morning, he arrived outside of Wang Yaoâs clinic. It was still early, so the clinic hadnât opened yet. He waited outside for a long time before he saw a man trekking leisurely back from the mountain road. It was the young doctor.
âOh, youâve arrived so early,â Wang Yao said
âHey, hello, Dr. Wang,â the young man said.
âLooking at your appearance, the effect is good,â Wang Yao said.
âYes, I think itâs good, too,â the young man said.
âAlright, come on in,â Wang Yao said as he opened the clinic door. âCome on, let me have a look.â
After his re-examination, he was sure that all the poisonous insects in the manâs body had been cleaned up. âYouâre fine now. The poisonous insects in your body have been pretty much removed. Iâll give you another dose of medicine to nourish your body.â
âOh, sure.â The man nodded his head.
Wang Yao gave him the prescription of Primordial Spirit Soup. He had the ready-made ingredients onsite, but the patient would not be coming back in the future. He could go get the ingredients at ordinary Chinese medicine shops.
âHere is the medicine and prescription, as well as other matters needing attention,â Wang Yao said. âYou can go to other places to get the ingredients and medicine instead of here.â
âAlright, thank you,â the man said.
âAll right, go back and take your medicine on time,â Wang Yao said.
The man thanked him before leaving.
Wang Yao thought, Alright, this patient is cured, so I can go to Jing now.
In the morning, he posted that he would be away on Weibo. He spoke to his parents at lunch and gave some advice to Zhong Liuchuan. Next, he went to see Jia Zizai.
Unexpectedly, the man greeted him with, âMaster.â
âI have no intention of accepting an apprentice,â Wang Yao said. âHow do you feel?â
âMmm, much better,â Jia Zizai said.
The weakness in his body had disappeared, and his spirit had returned.
âAlright. I wonât be in the village for a few days,â Wang Yao said. âIâm a little worried about you.â
âAh?!â Jia Zizai was surprised
Wang Yao waved his hand in the air.
âHere we go again!â The feeling of weakness hit Jia Zizai again.
âWhen I come back, you can leave,â Wang Yao said.
âI want to have you as my teacher and learn from you,â Jia Zizai replied.
âI donât want to teach you.â Wang Yao laughed as he turned to Zhong Liuchuan and said, âIâm going to Jing. Please take care of the village while Iâm away.â
âYes, Sir,â Zhong Liuchuan said.
That afternoon, Wang Yao left the mountain village and took a plane from Dao to Jing. In the evening, he arrived in the city and found a place to stay. That night, the sky in Jing was gloomy.
âTomorrow it will rain,â Wang Yao murmured
The next morning, rain fell from the sky. He called Su Xiaoxue and went to Yanjing University. It was a sacred place that countless students in China dreamed of attending.
âSir.â Su Xiaoxue almost ran beside Wang Yao, happy as a lark.
âWho is that person?â
âMy goddess!â
Su Xiaoxue was the dream goddess of many male students at Yanjing University. Wang Yaoâs appearance was undoubtedly the focus of many male studentsâ burning gazes. If stares could kill, Wang Yao wouldâve died countless times right then.
âThese people have special tastes indeed!â
