“Some rich people are so strange!” The seller didn’t understand why Sun Zhengrong wanted to buy his old house.

Actually, Sun Zhengrong had bought the right to use the land rather than the house. Old houses could be renovated or even demolished. Of course, not all the old houses could be demolished, like ones in big cities. Urban planning in big cities was decided by the local government. However, no one could stop people from demolis.h.i.+ng their own houses in a small village.

“Did you know that someone came to buy houses in our village?” An old villager gossiped.

“In our village? Who bought houses in our village?” asked another villager.

“I don’t know who they are. They bought old houses. Rich people from big cities really think differently from us. The youngsters in our village just want to buy a unit in the city, none of them wants to come back here. The one who bought houses here is doing the exact opposite,” said the old villager.

Strange things like this would be talked about and pa.s.sed around. Soon everyone in the village started to talk about it.

“Someone bought houses in our village?” w.a.n.g Yao was surprised to hear the news, but he remembered that Wei Hai mentioned he wanted to buy a house in his village.

“Yes, they bought two old houses which were built decades ago. The houses are being demolished. It’s not safe to live there anymore,” said Zhang Xiuying.

“Old houses?” said w.a.n.g Yao.

“Yes,” said Zhang Xiuying.

“Are we allowed to demolish our houses?” asked w.a.n.g Yao.

“Yes, no one will stop us, our village is nowhere near the city,” said Zhang Xiuying.

“So, it doesn’t matter. They can just demolish the old houses. They have the right to use the land anyway,” said w.a.n.g Yao with a smile.

“But who will buy houses in our village? It’s not something worth investing,” said Zhang Xiuying.

w.a.n.g Yao found out who bought them the next day.

“You bought houses in my village?” asked w.a.n.g Yao

Sun Zhengrong and Sun Yunsheng told w.a.n.g Yao about their purchase of two houses in w.a.n.g Family Village when they visited w.a.n.g Yao’s clinic next.

“Yes, we think it will be more convenient for Yunsheng to visit your clinic regularly if we have a property in the village. Don’t worry, we will not disturb your life,” said Sun Zhengrong.

“That’s fine.” w.a.n.g Yao shook his hand with a smile.

He was just really surprised. He didn’t expect Sun Zhengrong to buy two collapsing houses in his village due to his son’s treatment.

“Let me take a look at Yunsheng first. Have you brought the decoction with you?” said w.a.n.g Yao.

“Yes,” said Sun Zhengrong.

After Sun Yunsheng had taken the decoction, w.a.n.g Yao gave him a ma.s.sage to facilitate the absorption and a.s.similation of the decoction. Then Sun Yunsheng took a short break. After the decoction had reached every part of Sun Yunsheng’s body, w.a.n.g Yao gave him Qi therapy.

He absorbed the heat toxin from Sun Yunsheng’s body while transferring his own Qi into Sun Yunsheng.

Sun Yunsheng’s back displayed something unique. One side of his back was as red as burning clouds, the other side had normal color skin.

The heat toxin at the surface came out of Sun Yunsheng’s body fast. The heat toxin hidden deep inside Sun Yunsheng’s body was resolved by the frost gra.s.s. Sun Yunsheng was getting better but keeping up the current treatment methods would only extend his life expectancy. His body had been badly damaged by the heat toxin. His chances of recovering were not good, unlike Su Xiaoxue, who broke out of her chrysalis.

“Have you been taking the decoction to consolidate your corporeity?” asked w.a.n.g Yao.

“Yes,” said Sun Yunsheng.

“You can increase the dose,” said w.a.n.g Yao.

“Okay,” said Sun Yunsheng.

After the treatment session had been completed, Sun Zhengrong asked his son to wait for him in the car.

“Dr. w.a.n.g, how is my son?” He could tell w.a.n.g Yao was hesitating, so he fell back to talk to w.a.n.g Yao in private.

“He’s recovering well,” said w.a.n.g Yao.

“Will he go back to normal?” asked Sun Zhengrong.

“Well, unlikely,” said w.a.n.g Yao after hesitating for a while. “The heat toxin has damaged Yunsheng’s corporeity. His body was like a wooden building on fire. Although the fire was eventually put out, the poles supporting the building has been damaged. The building which was supposed to last for over a hundred of years might only last for two to three decades.” w.a.n.g Yao told Sun Zhengrong the truth.

Sun Zhengrong kept silent for a while.

“Is there a way to fix him?” asked Sun Zhengrong.

“Well, I can’t think of any ways at this stage,” said w.a.n.g Yao.

“At this stage?” Sun Zhengrong immediately found hope in the statement. It was not a dead end for his son.

“Yes, at this stage,” said w.a.n.g Yao.

He had a magical system with endless possibilities, anything could happen. He didn’t even know how to grow herbs previously, now he had established a Spirit Gathering Battle Array, which absorbed all of the good aura from the surroundings. The herbs he grew in his herbal field had been able to cure a lot of illnesses, including some really tricky ones. It was possible for him to bring a skeleton back to life in the future. After all, Traditional Chinese Pharmacists in ancient China could treat all sorts of illnesses.

“Please let me know if you can find a way to fix my son completely,” said Sun Zhengrong.

“Sure,” said w.a.n.g Yao.

After Sun Zhengrong and his son had left, someone from Sun Zhengrong’s company came to the village to measure the two old houses, which were side by side. Therefore, Sun Zhengrong could build a big house with eight rooms on a big block of land.

After the person had completed the measurements, he went to the house where the production team of the village was to discuss with members of village committee of demolis.h.i.+ng the two houses. The only thing was that Sun Zhengrong couldn’t alter the land.

“Who are those people?” w.a.n.g Jianli was curious.

Obviously, the person who bought the two houses was rich. Why did he send people to the village? Even rich people shouldn’t do whatever they wanted. However, there was a positive side to this. Those outsiders could a.s.sist the villagers to sell the crops. w.a.n.g Family Village was surrounded by hills. The crops they could be grown in the village were limited. With current market, the villagers were struggling to sell their crops for a good prize. When the weather was bad, some of the crops even rotted in the fields. It was good that the people sent by Sun Zhengrong offered to help the villagers. This was a great news.

w.a.n.g Yao went to the town center in the afternoon. The herbs he asked Li Maoshuang to purchase had arrived.

“Everything’s alright?” asked w.a.n.g Yao as he noticed Li Maoshuang had something on his mind.

“Not really. I went to the hospital in the morning. My uncle has been diagnosed of cancer, late stage,” said Li Maoshuang.

“Sorry to hear that. Where is the cancer?” asked w.a.n.g Yao.

“In his lungs,” said Li Maoshuang.

“Does he smoke?” asked w.a.n.g Yao.

“Yes, he’s been smoking all his life,” said Li Maoshuang.

“How old is he?” asked w.a.n.g Yao.

“73 years old,” said Li Maoshuang.

w.a.n.g Yao didn’t say anything else.

A person’s illness was normally closely related to the person’s lifestyle. For example, a lot of people suffering from lung cancer typically had been smoking for a long time.

“You know what, it was terrible to see him suffer. He’d probably rather be dead,” said Li Maoshuang with a sigh.

“Don’t be too upset,” said w.a.n.g Yao.

“Do you think chemotherapy is going to work?” asked Li Maoshuang.

“Chemotherapy has pros and cons. It will kill the cancer as well as the normal cells. Weak elderly people like your uncle will probably not be able to tolerate the chemotherapy,” said w.a.n.g Yao.

Terrible illnesses like cancer would destroy one’s corporeity.

“Can you treat him?” asked Li Maoshuang. “Maybe reduce his pain?”

“Well…” w.a.n.g Yao hesitated.

In fact, he had been thinking about how to treat cancer for a while. He had thought it over and wanted to apply his ideas on a patient. However, it was not easy to find a suitable patient.

New mission: Treat people with recurring or chronic illnesses.

As a Traditional Chinese Pharmacist, you should be able to face any recurring or chronic illnesses. Even you are not sure if you can cure the patient, you should try your very best to treat him. The appropriate treatment of cancer could reduce the patient’s pain and prolong his life expectancy.

Reward: A bag of herb seeds.

Punishment of failure: None.

The sudden prompt from the system really surprised w.a.n.g Yao.

This was a random mission. w.a.n.g Yao didn’t have to take it. However, this was the first mission that didn’t have any punishment.

Since the system has given me the mission, I should take it. He was going to treat Li Maoshuang’s uncle anyway.

“I can try, but the treatment process will be risky,” said w.a.n.g Yao. He didn’t want it to jeopardize his friends.h.i.+p with Li Maoshuang.

After all, late stage cancer patients could die anytime.

“I’m fine with this, but I will discuss the risks with my uncle’s wife and children,” said Li Maoshuang.

“Okay, I need to prepare for his treatment first,” said w.a.n.g Yao.

“That’s fine, thank you,” said Li Maoshuang.

“I can visit him in the hospital today,” said w.a.n.g Yao.

“Okay,” said Li Maoshuang.

As they were about to leave, w.a.n.g Yao noticed that the sun looked red and dark.

Is it suitable to visit the hospital today? It’s getting pretty late. w.a.n.g Yao wondered.
