"Next time, whenever the prescription I provide is used, remove and destroy it immediately . "

"No problem," Pan Jun promised without hesitation .

"One more thing, use quality grade herbs for all my prescriptions . "

The prescriptions he had provided were effective primarily because he decocted the first decoction himself . He had seen the herbs used by this clinic—they were ordinary Chinese herbs and were largely lacking in quality . They did not satisfy his standards . He wanted to be responsible for the prescriptions he provided .

Hmmm… This matter befuddled Pan Jun . Being in a business, the main objective was profit .

For an item sold at 50 yuan, it made a huge difference whether the cost price was 20 yuan versus if it was at 30 yuan . Businessmen regularly pa.s.sed off lower quality items as higher quality items whereas they were rarely honest enough to sell to customers good quality products worth the money . Hence, w.a.n.g Yao's request was particularly difficult to fulfill .

"Okay, I promise," said Pan Jun said . He decided that he could charge a slightly higher price for the higher quality medicine .

w.a.n.g Yao did not take much time to see the patients at the clinic . When he went back, he recorded the special symptoms of that patient's condition into his notes .

In the afternoon, w.a.n.g Yao sauntered around Nanshan hill, considering the last step to the completing the spirit gathering array . He only needed to lead water into the array, and a mere stream was sufficient . On Nanshan hill, there was a spring . The water was not much, but it was cool and chilly and would not dry out even in the height of summer . w.a.n.g Yao had initially considered making use of this stream, and now, he intended to use it in the array .

"I can start from here, leading the stream down here and then dig up a pool…"

w.a.n.g Yao had a draft of the project worked out in his mind and had gone to look at the actual site countless times .

Woof, woof, woof! As he was focused on his thoughts, the dog below started barking .

A man and a woman had come up the hill .

"Eh, why have they come?"

"It's been a long time; how have you been?" the lady smiled . She looked exceedingly beautiful .

It was Guo Sirou and He Qisheng .

It had been months since he last saw her . Guo Sirou's original head of short hair had now grown long and was draped on her shoulders . She was casually dressed . She looked extremely pretty and had an exceptional aura .

She and Tong Wei were uncommonly beautiful women . If Tong Wei was a rose, Guo Sirou would be the peony, her beauty surpa.s.sing all flowers .

"It's been some time; this hill has changed so dramatically . " Guo Sirou surveyed the hill peak . She recalled that the last time she was here, apart from the chestnut and jujube trees, the hill was largely bare and did not have many trees . Now, it was a sea of green .

"I had nothing to do, so I planted some trees . Why don't you come into the cottage and have a seat?"

"Sure," Guo Sirou beamed and said .

There was a table and a square stool .

The tea w.a.n.g Yao served was the tea that he planted himself . Even if it was not a renowned tea, it was rare and high-quality .

"Good tea! Where is it from?" He Qisheng asked .

"I planted it myself . It's outside . " w.a.n.g Yao smiled and pointed out the window . "I asked a tea master to hand process it . "

"Even though it's not a renowned species of tea, surely, it's within the top ten list of quality teas . This is hard to come by!"

"You give me too much credit . Why have you suddenly come?"

"I'm here to get some fresh air . I wanted to visit Dao City, and so, I decided to come here to visit you . Did we disturb your peaceful life?" Guo Sirou was half joking when she said this .

"I'm okay . How's your old man's illness?"

"Much better . Thank you . "

"You're welcome . "

While chatting, Guo Sirou divulged her intentions . She wanted to invite w.a.n.g Yao to Jing City . However, w.a.n.g Yao had laughed it off and diverted the topic .

Jing City was a city of chaos and stormy situations . He did not want to go to this city .

"You seemed to be repellent against Jing City?" Guo Sirou smiled and said .

"A little," w.a.n.g Yao replied without hesitating .

"Why?"

"I don't want to attract trouble," w.a.n.g Yao said straightforwardly .

"What kind of trouble?"

"I don't know . " w.a.n.g Yao shook his head . "I just have an intuition . "

"Do you think a man's intuition is reliable?" Guo Sirou smiled and teased .

"Yes, I think it is . "

Guo Sirou and He Qisheng stayed on the hill for over 20 minutes, chatting with w.a.n.g Yao for some time and then departed .

After going down the hill, He Qisheng suddenly halted and turned to look at the hill . His brows were furrowed .

"What's wrong, Uncle He?"

"The hill is a little strange," He Qisheng contemplated momentarily before speaking .

"Why's it strange?"

"Miss, did you not feel it? Earlier on the hill, the hill breeze was rather gentle and felt comfortable while it was blowing . Once down the hill, the hill breeze feels dryer and feels far worse . By right, the hill breeze at the foot of the hill should be gentler," He Qisheng said .

"Hmmm, you are right indeed . "

"It's not just the breeze . On the hill, breathing is easier; it gives one a feeling of comfort . I would describe the feeling as being immersed in a beautiful environment . "

"Is it because there are more plants on the hill?"

"It's probably not so simple . " He Qisheng raised his head and looked at the hill .

The two of them went down the hill, walked some distance, and then He Qisheng stopped his stride and turned once more . This time he could see the hill in its entirety . The originally bare hill now had a variety of planted trees, both tall and short . The distribution was uneven . A glance showed that there was no order to the distribution .

"This is?!" He Qisheng's face had changed drastically .

"How could this be? How could this be?!" His entire person was rooted in deep shock .

"What's wrong, Uncle He?" Guo Sirou was surprised by He Qisheng's reaction . In all these years, she had never seen this highly skilled physician lose himself . The only times she had seen him like that, out of the rare occasions it happened, were here in this unknown little village in the ravine .

"I must be mistaken . This is impossible!" He shook his head .

"What's wrong?"

"It's okay . Sorry, Miss, I lost myself," He Qisheng said when he recovered .

"Uncle He, what's wrong? You can't even tell me?" Guo Sirou smiled and asked .

"This hill may have an array . "

"I remember you mentioning this . It's a five-line illusion array . "

"It's not that . It's another type . It's called a spirit gathering array . "

"Spirit gathering array?"

"Yes, spirit gathering array, for a particular use . "

"Isn't this talked about in novels?" Guo Sirou said .

"I had once thought that the five-line illusion array existed only in novels, yet I have seen it on this hill . This spirit gathering array is miraculous . It is said to borrow the nimbus of the heavens and earth and make use of magic in the array . Of course, this is just my guess . After all, this mysterious thing was lost to the world for generations," said He Qisheng .

If he was not well read and knowledgeable, and if not for the fact that he had an exceptionally capable master, He Qisheng's thoughts would not have ventured in this direction .

He had read about this array once in an ancient book of unknown age . The hill's arrangement of trees looked random . However, upon closer look, the arrangement was profound, and it looked largely similar to the arrangement mentioned in the ancient book . The book had pictures but did not describe it in words, and no one understood it .

If this was true, it's too amazing . I should tell my master, He Qisheng pondered .

"Uncle He, do you know why he is unwilling to go to Jing City?"

"He may be afraid there may be trouble . "

"Why would there be trouble? Is he afraid of attracting certain people's attention?"

"Yes . The head of the house has suddenly recovered for the better, and the situation has a sudden change . People may try to find out the reason . "

"They won't be able to find out anything . However, when time pa.s.ses, some news may leak, and at that time, Doctor w.a.n.g may not be able to maintain his life of a recluse," said Guo Sirou . "When that time comes, he will have to make a choice . "

"Choice? What choice will he make?" He Qisheng looked at the half-hidden little hill again .

In a world like this, is it really unable to accommodate a recluse?

…

In a residence in Haiqu City .

"Mom, your complexion looks much better and looks rosy . "

"Yes . Since I drank Doctor w.a.n.g's decoction, my body feels warm . In the afternoon, I even sweated," the elderly woman smiled and said .

"You sweated? Really?!" When he heard the news, the middle-aged man stood up excitedly .

He was well aware of his mother's condition . Over the years, as she feared the cold, she had virtually no perspiration at all . It was the first time he had heard of her sweating because of the heat . It was an indication that her illness had taken a huge turn for the better .

"Doctor w.a.n.g's medical skills are excellent!"

"Indeed, we will have to properly thank him . "

…

"When will Doctor w.a.n.g come to the clinic?"

"Wednesday . "

"I will come again on Wednesday then . "

"Okay, walk slowly . "

At Renhe clinic, a woman in her 40's smiled and sent off an elder in his 60's . This was the third person in two days . She wanted to meet the young man that was constantly praised by her own brother .

"Sis . " Pan Jun pushed the door and entered .

"Not on duty today?"

"No, I'm off duty . "

"You have arranged with Doctor w.a.n.g to come here to see the patients on Wednesday?"

"Yes . If he can't make it, he will inform me in advance," Pan Jun smiled and replied .

"That's good . I really want to meet him . "

…

"Miasma gra.s.s is the Monarch herb, mainly to kill the poisonous bugs . It needs to complement with other herbs to protect the internal organs . " On Nanshan hill, w.a.n.g Yao noted his thoughts in his notebook . He was planning the treatment plan for Wei Hai .

"Luckily, I have enough points to buy it . "

w.a.n.g Yao discovered by accident that his visits to the clinic were rewarded by the system, although it was very little . Seeing an ordinary patient earned him one to two reward points . Even so, these points could acc.u.mulate to something larger; hence it was a good result for him .

"I will go to the clinic on Wednesday . Tomorrow, I will practice making some pills, and I will also need to dig up a small drain to lead the spring down…" w.a.n.g Yao made a checklist of the items he needed to do . "I'm very busy!"

Although his schedule was quite busy, he could not miss his daily breathing practice . Up until the night, he recited some scriptures before he dimmed the lights and rested .

. . . . Next time, whenever the prescription I provide is used, remove and destroy it immediately . No problem, Pan Jun promised without hesitation .
