After walking for a short while, Wang Yao saw the beautiful woman he had just seen. She was sobbing quietly while being held in the arms of a young man. She was like a flower that had been hit by the rain. She was beautiful and pitiful.

  “Alright, it’s fine. It’s fine.” The man comforted the girl in a soft voice.

  Wang Yao thought, Ah, it’s a good thing that other young man didn’t see this. Otherwise, I’m afraid he’d drive straight into them.

  “Here’s a present for you,” the woman said as a smile broke through her tears.

  “What present?”


  “This is their ancestral recipe.” The woman took out a piece of paper.

  “Really? You got it?” the young man excitedly asked.

  What’s the situation here? Wang Yao stopped walking.

  Is there even more to this story?

  He could not help but look back.

  Wang Yao thought, If the man who just waved a knife for the sake of this woman were to find about these things, he would likely kill them and commit suicide!

  Indeed, sentimentality was always defeated by heartlessness!

  How pathetic, lamentable, and pitiful!

  A gust of wind suddenly blew away the note in the man’s hand.

  “Oh, no!”


  The man quickly let go of the woman in his arms to chase after it. He saw the paper go up and down in the wind. It circled, turned a corner, and finally fell into the sea. A wave hit it, making it disappear into the sea.

  “No, no, no!” The man beat the railings by the bank with great frustration.

  “It’s OK, Honey,” the pretty girl said when she saw the situation. “I’ll…… I’ll go back and get another one for you.”


  “No, I can’t let you go back. I love you.” The man held the girl in his arms.

  “For you, I will,” she said.

  Oh, my goodness! Wang Yao felt goosebumps rise all over his body.

  Why does it feel so horrifying to my ears?

  This girl loved this man, but that man’s gaze was not the same. He had a deep and scheming mind. He mostly just wanted to use this girl.

  Wang Yao thought, I can’t bear to see this anymore! I feel bad for the man with the knife!

  In the beginning, Wang Yao didn’t like the man with the knife very much. He thought what the girl did was right. After 10 minutes, the plot had taken a turn. He now thought that the knife-wielding man was pitiful. She is such a scheming woman, tut, tut!

  He looked back and froze.

  At the corner of the road, he saw the man from before. He was looking over at the woman and other young man. Although the man was quite far away from Wang Yao, and ordinary people might not be able to see it clearly, he was certain that it was the man who had wielded the knife.

  What is this situation? Even when filming a movie, there could not be such a complicated and graceful plot, right?

  The man loved the women, but the woman loved another man. The man she loved did not necessarily love the woman. He just wanted to use the woman to get a formula from the man who loved the woman. Isn’t that a bit confusing?

  Well, I saw quite a scene tonight,” Wang Yao thought.

  He hoped no tragedy would happen.

  Wang Yao slowly left with a smile.

  The night continued to darken.

  The sea breeze was strong, and the waves were hurried.

  The next morning, the sky was a little overcast.

  Wang Yao returned to Lianshan County by car.

  At the Nanshan Pharmaceutical Company, the wild licorice situation had been resolved. Everything was in place and ready for production.

  “Mr. Zheng, is production going to start today?”


  “Wait,” Zheng Weijun said. He needed to communicate with Wang Yao regarding the matter again, but he knew that Wang Yao had gone to Jing.

  I wonder when he will be back.

  He sent Wang Yao a message.

  “Well, he will be back today, so that’s great,” he happily said.

  At about 11 a.m., Wang Yao arrived at the Nanshan Pharmaceutical Company. He didn’t even go home. After getting out of the car, he went into the building. After confirming that there was no problem with the herbs, he began to put in materials for trial production of the Primordial Spirit Soup. This process was very fast because it was all done with the most advanced pharmaceutical equipment. It was estimated that the products could be produced that day, but the quality of the products depended on the situation.

  “It’s almost time for lunch,” Zheng Weijun said. “How about having lunch together?”


  “OK.”


  Wang Yao stayed to have lunch with Zheng Weijun. The two discussed and communicated with each other about the next production run and sales. The timeline was mainly decided by Zheng Weijun. Wang Yao just listened because he was a layman in terms of management and sales.

  In the afternoon, he returned to the village.

  When he left, he didn’t take much. When he returned, he had a big suitcase. Inside it was the gifts Su Xiaoxue had bought for his parents, elder sister, and brother-in-law.

  “Why did you buy so many things?” Zhang Xiuying asked when she saw the full suitcase.

  “They are the kind feelings of your daughter-in-law.”


  “Kind feeling? You listen to me. You will pay for the things Xiaoxue buys in the future. Do you hear?”


  “Yes, I will remember that!” Wang Yao hurriedly nodded.

  “What’s the matter with you always letting a girl spend money? You have money!”


  “I want to pay as well, Mom,” Wang Yao said with a smile.

  He wanted to pay, but Su Xiaoxue would not let him.

  “Well alright, this cannot happen again.”


  “Got it, Mom.”


  “Did you eat at noon?”


  “I ate in town.”


  He went into the house and talked with his parents for a while. He also expressed Su Xiaoxue’s greetings to his parents. Wang Yao left home and went to the clinic.

  After going inside, he updated his status on Weibo. In the afternoon, the clinic would receive patients.

  After a while, Jia Zizai came in. He had been looking at his cellphone and saw Wang Yao’s updated Weibo post, so he decided to head to the clinic.

  “Sir, you are back.”


  “Yes, I just got back. Was everything alright these past two days?”


  “No, Sir. The medicine you gave us didn’t just make us invincible, right?”


  “Why are you suddenly asking that?” Wang Yao asked. “I did change the prescription for the drugs. It can make you guys energetic and help you develop other abilities.”


  “Other abilities? What abilities?”


  “Snakes, insects, mice, ants, and other things will not dare come near you. Those insect spells do not affect you,” Wang matter-of-factly said. That was the effect of the Plow grass.

  “Is it that amazing?”


  “Ha-ha, you will know after some time has passed,” Wang Yao said with a smile.

  Because the medicinal effect of the Plow grass was quite domineering, even if there was Guiyuan to neutralize it, there would be no big problem. Wang Yao had not added too much. In his opinion, safety had to be considered first when doing anything. This was not to save a patient’s life. It could be done slowly without being so urgent.

  “Oh, alright.” Jia Zizai said. He was just now discovering that this medicine could do something like that. Along with curing diseases and saving lives, it could also kill people.

  He didn’t stay for long because a patient came in.

  A couple brought in their son, Xiao Lan.

  “Hello, Dr. Wang.”


  After three treatments, their son’s condition had greatly improved. Now, he would only faint once a day at most, and the duration was very short. He would quickly wake up. That was a sign of a full recovery.

  “He has become a lot more spirited,” Wang Yao said with a smile. The little guy’s eyes were energetic, which showed that his body was in a good state now.

  “Yes, Xiao Lan has had a lot to eat during meals. He has slept well and is energetic. He is quite happy and lively these days,” the woman said. Because their son was much better, they had taken him to the playground in the county town to play. They had not dared to do that in the past in fear that he would suddenly faint while playing.

  The little guy had a good time at the playground. He was still a child after all, so it was the period of his life when he loved to have fun.

  “Well, alright, let’s start the treatment.”


  Acupuncture, Qi transfer, medication……

  It was a familiar set of steps.

  “Come back in two days,” Wang Yao said.

  “Thank you.” The couple left feeling happy.

  After a while, Zhong Liuchuan came to the clinic. Since his master had returned, he naturally had to visit him.

  The two chatted for a while. No patients came to the clinic. Zhong Liuchuan looked at the time and got up to leave.

  Toward evening, a man came into the clinic. He was in a hurry and limped while he walked.

  “What’s the matter, Uncle?” The man was from the village.

  “Ah, I fell down when I was cycling. Please take a look for me.”


  “Alright.” Wang Yao gave him a quick checkup. There was no big problem. He had several bruises and a dislocated arm.
