"Excuse me, I've caused you a lot of trouble. Please go back to work! There's nothing much here!" Xiao Yu told the doctors. With Xiao Hongyang present, he didn't need these doctors around.

"Sir Xiao, please do have a check-up," said the military doctor in his fifties.

"Haha, thank you, I just took my own pulse and there's nothing much wrong!" replied Xiao Yu with a light laugh to the doctor.

"This..." The fifty-something-year-old doctor hesitated.

When Zhang Dahan sent this person here, he had instructed them to take good care of him. If something went wrong, they should report back to him. Now that Xiao Yu said there was no need for a check-up, the doctor showed some difficulty in complying with his request. As for what Xiao Yu mentioned about taking his own pulse, the doctor thought it even more ridiculous; could such a young man know how to take his pulse

However, he would not voice this out loud and thus had no choice but to look troubled.

"Haha, you can rest assured! I am also a doctor. We understand the situation well! Our Captain Zhang Dahan understands too!" Xiao Hongyang chuckled softly as he spoke. With his extensive experience, Xiao Hongyang naturally knew why these doctors were hesitant.

"Alright then."

The fifty-something-year-old doctor thought for a moment and nodded before leaving with the other two doctors.

"Hongyang, how are those kids in the car doing" asked Xiao Yu when he saw the doctors leave.

A look of excitement appeared on Xiao Hongyang's face upon hearing Xiao Yu ask about them. He replied, "Uncle Master, do you know It’s a miracle! With such a serious accident, apart from the truck driver who died instantly, none of the others perished. And there were several children with severe injuries who managed to survive!"

Xiao Hongyang had been at the scene of this accident and remembered it vividly. At that time, he felt an intuition that many people would die, most of them being around five or six years old.

He never expected that only the truck driver died on the spot while all the children survived after emergency treatment—a true miracle indeed.

"Hmm!"

Xiao Yu nodded in response. He had confidence about the other kids, but as for the last child he didn’t know if he could be saved because Xiao Yu was unconscious when he took his final look to determine life or death. Now hearing from Xiao Hongyang that it worked out well made him realize that his last attempt indeed played a role.

"Hongyang, let's leave the hospital! There's nothing much to do here!" Xiao Yu thought for a moment and said.

Staying in the hospital was useless; he knew his own condition well. When he saw that Xiao Hongyang had brought medicine but wasn't using it from the hospital, it was simply because of unconsciousness. Staying at the hospital made things easier.

"Alright then. But Uncle Instructor, you should inform Captain Zhang about this!" Xiao Hongyang also knew that since Xiao Yu had woken up, there was no point in staying in the hospital anymore, so he didn't object when Xiao Yu brought it up.

"Sure, I’ll give him a call!" After saying this, Xiao Yu took the phone from Xiao Hongyang and dialed out.

Shortly after, Xiao Yu hung up. Captain Zhang seemed to be on duty and didn’t say much before hanging up, but Xiao Yu had an ominous feeling deep down.

Xiao Yu couldn't figure out where this bad premonition came from, so he helplessly shook his head and decided not to dwell on it anymore. He packed up his things and left the hospital with Xiao Hongyang.

When Xiao Yu and Xiao Hongyang stepped outside of the hospital, everything was dark. Xiao Hongyang helped Xiao Yu into a taxi.

During the ride, Xiao Hongyang informed Xiao Yu about what had transpired over the past few days as well as some matters concerning Wan Sheng Tang.

The two arrived at Wan Sheng Tang by car. At this time, the lights were still on inside and a few people remained seated within.

"Doctor Xiao, you're back... Are you alright" Just as Xiao Yu and Xiao Hongyang entered the house, Liu Erxi rushed over. Upon seeing Xiao Yu's condition, he asked with great concern.

Xiao Yu was being supported by Xiao Hongyang at that moment; his complexion was very pale and his walk unsteady, like a gentle breeze could knock him down.

"I'm fine! Erxi, you're still here It's already eight in the evening." Seeing it was past 8 pm yet Liu Erxi hadn't left, Xiao Yu couldn’t help but ask.

"Not yet, Doctor Xiao. There are patients waiting to see you!" Liu Erxi pointed at someone sitting nearby and said.

Xiao Yu looked in the direction that Liu Erxi indicated; breakfast stall owner's family of three were seated there.

“Doctor Xiao, how are you What happened” The breakfast stall owner stood up when he saw Xiao Yu looking at him.

"I'm fine! Come over here and let me take your pulse!" Xiao Yu sat down in front of the consultation table and told the son of the breakfast stall owner to come sit by his side.

When he saw them, Xiao Yu suddenly remembered that he hadn't given the patient acupuncture for several days. It seemed like he would have to start over!

After the man sat down, Xiao Yu extended his hand and took the man's pulse. He found that there were no issues with his pulse and that there was even a slight improvement in his gastric function.

"Haha...... Lie down on the bed over there. I'll give you acupuncture again. Even though it has been several days since we last did this, your recovery is going quite well!"

Xiao Yu said with a light smile.

Thinking about it, Xiao Yu continued, "I won't charge for today's treatment as compensation for the missed sessions in between."

The breakfast stall owner hurriedly thanked him.

He had been somewhat displeased at first that Xiao Yu hadn't shown up for several days. However, since he was still relying on Xiao Yu to treat his son, he couldn't voice this sentiment. But now, with Xiao Yu's words, all of his dissatisfaction vanished instantly.

Xiao Yu, supported by Xiao Hongyang, came to the treatment bed and gently inserted a golden needle into the remaining stomach area of the thin man.

While moving the golden needle, he explained the frequency at which it should be moved to Xiao Hongyang. He was very detailed in his explanation.

Xiao Yu wasn't afraid that others might hear this explanation because Xiao Hongyang had a solid foundation in Prolonging Life Five Elements Acupuncture, so he could understand it; anyone else would have been completely confused.

After some time, Xiao Yu removed the golden needle and sat down at his consultation desk to write another prescription for Liu Erxi to get the medicine.

Xiao Yu's prescription had basically remained unchanged regarding the main ingredients, but he had adjusted the quantities of two auxiliary herbs by slightly increasing one and decreasing the other. Although these changes seemed minor, they significantly altered the efficacy of the formula.

This was why when seeing a Chinese doctor, several doses of medicine would be prescribed at first, after which the patient would have to return for more if there were any slight changes in their condition. The aim was to adjust the dosage accordingly to achieve the best results possible!

After the breakfast stall owner and his family had left, Xiao Yu asked Liu Erxi and Xiao Hongyang to leave Wan Sheng Hall as well. Xiao Yu's coma for seven days was a self-protection mechanism due to severe overexertion. During these days, he recovered mentally until he reached the minimum standard needed to wake up.

After they left, Xiao Yu locked up Wan Sheng Hall and turned off the lights before heading to his resting room.

Xiao Yu washed his face and took out his medical kit from the cabinet. He opened the kit, took two slices of ginseng from a jade box, and put them in his mouth. Xiao Yu's current body was extremely weak, with blood deficiency that urgently needed to be replenished.

Xiao Yu held the ginseng in his hand and placed it in his mouth before going to sit cross-legged on the mat. The last time he had been completely drained of everything, and after sitting down, he chewed up the ginseng and swallowed it.

Shortly after Xiao Yu swallowed the ginseng, a wave of heat rose from his stomach. He used this warm energy to circulate the righteous qi formula.

This warm energy flowed through Xiao Yu's internal organs as he practiced the righteous qi formula. At present, it was like a barren desert in his internal organs, and that stream of warmth was like a cup of water, which was absorbed completely after circulating once through his internal organs.

With each cycle of the righteous qi formula, a ball of heat from Xiao Yu's stomach would be taken away and then absorbed by his internal organs. When the ginseng no longer produced any warmth, Xiao Yu let out a long breath and opened his eyes.

Xiao Yu slightly moved his body and felt that it could still absorb the medicinal power of the ginseng. He stood up and went to the cabinet, taking out a wooden box containing the wild mountain ginseng aged for fifty years.

He found a knife, cut off one-fifth of the ginseng, went to sit cross-legged on the mat again, and chewed the piece of ginseng before swallowing it.

Perhaps due to an increase in his body's strength, Xiao Yu's absorption of medicinal power and his ability to endure tonic medicine had both improved. After absorbing the medicinal power from two slices of three-hundred-year-old ginseng, his body did not reach its limit for enduring medicinal power.

Ordinary people, even if they were as weak as Xiao Yu, would dare not use such a high-grade ginseng like this but instead would熬煎 it with other balancing herbs to allow the human body to slowly absorb the ginseng's medicinal power, thus avoiding the situation of being unable to tolerate tonics.

After swallowing the ginseng, the medicinal power transformed into another wave of heat rising in his stomach. Xiao Yu continued circulating the righteous qi formula and absorbing the ginseng’s medicinal power.

This time after he absorbed all of the medicinal power from the ginseng, he did not wake up but instead continued sitting in meditation to recover.

The two consecutive absorptions had allowed Xiao Yu's internal organs to slightly recover from the damage caused by forcing the use of the life-and-death eye. If Xiao Yu used more ginseng now, it wouldn't have much effect; he could only rely on himself for gradual recuperation in the future.

As the righteous qi formula continued its circulation, a faint golden glow gradually appeared in his previously dry meridians. Although this golden light was sparse, Xiao Yu was very satisfied with such results from sitting meditation for just this short period of time.

Suddenly, rapid knocking sounds came from outside, startling Xiao Yu who was meditating in the room.

"Who is it"
