prescription, Old Yue’s brows gradually furrowed. He felt that something was missing from this formula—a main ingredient of a gentle yet potent tonic. The so-called principal herb is absent.Old Yue a...Chapter 459: Dr. Dai Treats Patients

By the time Xiao Yu opened his eyes, it was already eleven at night. Xiao Yu and Dai Ruxin had left the crypt and arrived at the villa where he arranged for her to stay in a guest room.

Xiao Yu originally wanted Dai Ruxin to live permanently in the crypt, but fearing that she wouldn't be used to it just upon arriving there, he decided to let her move in only after she had adjusted and the nine little ghosts had come out.

As for the Yin煞qi (a type of malevolent energy) inside and the chilly underground environment, these had no effect on Dai Ruxin. Could the chilliness be colder than when she was sick She also didn't feel much about the Yin煞qi since her body already contained a purer form of it.

When Xiao Yu told Dai Ruxin that his grandfather was seeing patients at his shop, even though she hadn't cried upon first encountering a ghost, tears streamed down her cheeks.

She had seen everything her grandfather did for her from childhood to adulthood. Now he was actually seeing patients as the head of their household, all for her sake. This made her feel even more guilty towards Old Master Dai.

Dai Ruxin remembered that since she could remember, her grandfather had taken her across the country in search of a cure, though ultimately it had been futile. However, her feelings for Old Master Dai grew deeper and stronger with each passing day, far surpassing those she felt towards her own parents.

"Master, can you take some photos of me with your phone I want to give them to my grandfather tomorrow!" After thinking about it, Dai Ruxin looked at Xiao Yu cautiously and said.

When Xiao Yu looked at Dai Yuxin for a moment, he nodded and took out his phone to take two photos of her. After taking the photos, Xiao Yu looked at Dai Yuxin seriously and said, "Yuxin, I want to tell you that your current body must not see your grandfather; otherwise, you will harm him!"

When Dai Yuxin heard what Xiao Yu had to say, she cautiously asked, "Can't I just take a quick look from afar"

Xiao Yu looked at Dai Yuxin sternly and shook his head. He said, "Your current body cannot see anyone or get too close to anyone; otherwise, you will harm others. If you really cause harm to unrelated passersby, don't blame me for not considering our master-apprentice relationship!"

When Xiao Yu spoke the last sentence, his expression was very strict and even somewhat ruthless. He knew that if he didn’t dispel this notion of hers now, something bad might happen.

Hence, when speaking to Dai Yuxin just then, Xiao Yu used a stern and ruthless tone. Although her body had not yet achieved the level of cultivation where she could practice formally, since she had already started practicing, it had stirred up the yin energy within her body, causing a very thin layer of yin qi from the netherworld to hover around her.

Although this was just a very thin layer, there would be no problem if it were ordinary yin qi. But since it was yin qi from the netherworld, even such a faint layer could cause some harm to normal people's bodies.

Dai Yuxin heard what Xiao Yu had said and did not want to comply but shook her head helplessly nevertheless. She knew that if she acted out of temper and caused others to suffer as a result, Xiao Yu would definitely make good on his words. Besides, she was waiting for the joy in her grandfather's eyes when he saw her healed.

After Xiao Yu took photos of Dai Yuxin, they each returned to their rooms to sleep.

The next day, after Xiao Yu came out of the house, Dai Yuxin was making breakfast in the kitchen. When Xiao Yu saw her cooking breakfast, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows; he hadn't expected a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl to be able to cook.

After Xiao Yu finished eating, he went to Wan Sheng Hall. By the time he arrived, everyone was already there and Dai Lao had also come. Yesterday, Xiao Yu asked Erxi and Yuan Chao to buy another chair and table for Dai Lao’s consultation desk.

Hence, when Xiao Yu came in, Dai Lao was already seated at his consultation desk. As he walked up to Dai Lao, Xiao Yu showed him the phone in his hand. When Dai Lao saw his granddaughter's photo, his eyes reddened with emotion.

But soon after, Dai Lao felt relieved and thought that what he had left behind must have been right; judging from how his granddaughter looked, she clearly wasn't suffering any hardships, which put his mind at ease. He didn’t ask for anything else other than to be able to see her in the photo knowing that she was doing well.

Today’s patients who came to Wan Sheng Hall noticed a new consultation table when they entered the hall. Although it was clear from looking at the elderly man behind the new consultation desk that he must be an expert doctor, these people hadn't seen Dai Lao for medical treatment before and thus didn’t want to take the risk of seeking him out; instead, they either went straight towards Xiao Yu or Xiao Hongyang since everyone knew their medical skills.

As for new patients who came here, after looking at both Xiao Yu and Xiao Hongyang, they all eventually approached Dai Lao. After all, from his appearance alone, it was clear that he appeared more reliable than the two of them.

In the afternoon, while chatting with Dai Lao, a few people suddenly walked in—looking like construction workers. They were supporting someone else who also looked like a construction worker; this person currently had his hand on his stomach and was groaning loudly, pale-faced with beads of sweat forming all over his forehead.

After entering the house, these people glanced around before heading straight towards Dai Lao.

"Help him sit down!" Upon seeing the patient's condition, Elder Dai instructed his companions.

Hearing what Elder Dai said, they quickly helped the patient take a seat. One of them, whose clothes appeared slightly cleaner and seemed to be their leader, turned to Elder Dai: "Doctor, please help him! We don't know what happened to him! He was fine this morning, but when he went out to work in the afternoon, his stomach started hurting terribly!"

After hearing these people's words, Elder Dai nodded. He walked forward, lifted the patient’s eyelids for a look and then asked him to open his mouth so as to examine his tongue coating. When the patient opened his mouth, an unbearable stench hit Elder Dai.

The smell didn't cause any change in Elder Dai's expression; he continued staring at the patient's tongue coating until he released the patient’s jaw after a while.

After releasing the patient’s jaw, Elder Dai sat down at his consultation desk and pushed aside the pulse-taking pillow to ask the patient to place his hand on it.

Elder Dai observed as the patient put his hand in place. He then gently placed his fingers on the patient's wrist, kept them there for a while, and slowly removed his hands after some time.

"Doctor, what is it What’s wrong with him" Seeing Elder Dai release his hand, one of the patient's companions quickly asked.

Upon hearing this question, instead of answering, Elder Dai stood up once more from his seat and approached the patient. He examined the palms of the patient's hands before removing his shoes and socks to check the soles of his feet. Finally, he lifted the patient’s shirt to examine both sides of his chest. the elder’s diagnosis had been wrong, it wouldn’t matter for him to step in, but now that the elder had diagnosed correctly, if he were to act, others might not believe such a young person or even be...
