After Qin Qiong's follow-up medical appointment, Shen Chang'an's life returned to its usual rhythm.

Free clinics in the early morning, consultations in the afternoon, and alchemy at night.

Shen Chang'an became increasingly adept at refining the Rejuvenation Pill. From producing only one pill in the first batch, he now consistently produces three or four pills per batch, and the medicinal effects are getting better and better.

He categorized and stored the refined Rejuvenation Pills, keeping the best quality ones for himself, giving the medium quality ones to patients like Qin Qiong, and keeping the lower quality ones for future use.

The herb garden in the spiritual plant space is also well-managed. The Rejuvenating Grass and Blood Clotting Flower have been harvested three or four times, and each time they are replanted immediately, ensuring a continuous supply.

The seedlings of Peiyuancao have grown taller, and the leaves have turned from light green to dark green. In another two months, they will be ready to be used as medicine.

Merit points are credited daily as the wounds of those treated through free medical consultations heal and their conditions improve, and the merit points are credited accordingly.

Adding to the merit points accumulated from completing previous tasks, Shen Chang'an's merit points have quietly exceeded 1,500.

"Once I cure Li Shimin, I'll have the two thousand merits and the Foundation Establishment Pill. That should be enough to accumulate for breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage in the future," he thought to himself.

……

A few days later, it was time for Li Shimin's scheduled follow-up visit.

The sky was clear and the air was crisp on this day.

Just after 9:00 AM, the last patient left the free clinic and Shen Chang'an had just finished packing his medicine box when two blue-curtained carriages drove up on the official road in the distance.

Shen Chang'an scanned the carriage with his divine sense and saw that Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun were sitting in the first carriage, and Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang were sitting in the second carriage.

"He didn't bring Li Lizhi and Li Chengqian." Shen Chang'an's heart stirred slightly. "It seems Li Shimin has something to say."

He stepped forward to greet them. Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang had already alighted from the carriage. They cupped their hands and smiled, saying, "Mr. Shen, we apologize for disturbing you."

"You two are too kind. For His Majesty's follow-up examination, let's hold it in the small courtyard," Shen Chang'an replied, bowing.

Shen Chang'an then boarded a carriage and arrived at Jishi Residence with the others, where they sat down in the pavilion.

Shen Chang'an brewed a pot of tea, the aroma of which wafted through the air. Li Shimin picked it up, took a sip, and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Mr. Shen, I'm sorry to trouble you again today. Please give me a follow-up examination later." Li Shimin put down his teacup. "The Empress will be here shortly."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Shen Chang'an placed three fingers on Li Shimin's wrist, channeling his spiritual energy into him, and then closed his eyes to concentrate.

A moment later, he opened his eyes, withdrew his hand, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Your Majesty's pulse is steady and strong, the symptoms of liver yang hyperactivity have completely subsided, and kidney yin is sufficient. From today onwards, you can stop taking the medicine. In the future, pay attention to a light diet and regular rest, and it will not relapse."

Li Shimin paused for a moment, then let out a long sigh of relief.

Although he still stays up late from time to time these days, he no longer feels dizzy, and his appetite has improved a lot. Now, hearing Shen Chang'an's words, he feels much more at ease.

"Mr. Shen, is my illness... truly cured?"

"Your Majesty, it is indeed cured."

Shen Chang'an nodded and continued, "His Majesty is in his prime and his constitution is already quite good. It's just that over the years he has worked too hard and worried too much, which has damaged his liver and kidneys. Now that his meridians are cleared and his qi and blood are replenished, he will naturally recover."

As soon as he finished speaking, the system's voice quietly sounded in Shen Chang'an's mind:

[Ding—Task to improve Li Shimin's health is complete]

[Quest Rewards: 2000 Merit Points, 1 Foundation Establishment Pill]

[Already distributed to my profile]

Two thousand merits, plus a Foundation Establishment Pill!

Upon hearing the system's voice, Shen Chang'an was overjoyed, but remained outwardly calm.

With 2,000 merit points and one Foundation Establishment Pill, plus the previous 1,500 points, the merit points have now reached over 3,500.

I have the Foundation Establishment Pill now. Once I reach the ninth level of Qi Refining, I can try to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

"Mr. Shen?" Li Shimin called out when he saw him in a daze.

Shen Chang'an snapped out of his daze and smiled, "Your Majesty, I was being impolite. I was simply happy for Your Majesty."

Li Shimin laughed heartily, stood up, and solemnly bowed, saying, "I will forever remember Mr. Shen's great kindness."

Shen Chang'an quickly stood up and returned the greeting: "Your Majesty is too kind."

……

After Li Er's follow-up visit, it was Empress Zhangsun's turn.

After taking her pulse, Shen Chang'an nodded: "Her Majesty the Empress's pulse is stable, her pregnancy is secure, and her qi stagnation has greatly improved. After one or two more treatments, she will not need to come again."

Li Shimin beamed with joy: "Mr. Shen, the child in the Empress's womb..."

"Your Majesty, rest assured, as long as Her Majesty the Empress takes her medicine on time and takes good care of herself, the child will be born safely."

Shen Chang'an paused for a moment, then continued, "The child may be a little weak after birth, but as long as I am here, there will be no major problems."

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin nodded repeatedly.

Empress Zhangsun also said softly, "Thank you, Mr. Shen."

"Your Majesty, you are too kind. It is nothing more than what I should do!"

Shen Chang'an wrote another prescription and handed it over: "This is the last prescription. After you finish these seven doses, you don't need to come anymore. You just need to pay attention to your diet and rest, and your illness will not relapse."

"Thank you, sir." Empress Zhangsun took the prescription and put it away.

After the follow-up visit, Li Shimin showed no intention of getting up to leave.

He sat in the pavilion, holding a teacup, his gaze lingering on the tea, his lips moving slightly as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang exchanged a glance, both seeing doubt in each other's eyes.

Empress Zhangsun glanced at Li Shimin and understood what her husband was thinking.

She was about to say something to persuade him when Shen Chang'an spoke first.

"His Majesty seems to have something on his mind?"

Shen Chang'an put down his teacup, his tone calm, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be related to the elixir that cured General Qin Qiong, right?"

Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang were both taken aback; they were unaware of what had happened.

"Pills? What pills?" Li Chunfeng asked.

Li Shimin gave a wry smile, and instead of answering Li Chunfeng, he looked at Shen Chang'an and said, "Mr. Shen, you are indeed insightful. I... do have this question."

He paused, then said, "However, what I want to ask about is not the elixir, but something else."

"Your Majesty, please speak."

Shen Chang'an answered without hesitation. He wanted to explain the pill matter as soon as possible, otherwise he would feel uncomfortable being watched all the time and would not be able to cultivate effectively.

Li Shimin took a deep breath and looked directly at Shen Chang'an: "I know that you are a Taoist practitioner, but have you attained immortality?"

Upon hearing this, the atmosphere in the pavilion suddenly became heavy.

Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang both held their breath, not expecting Li Shimin to ask such a question.

Empress Zhangsun, who was beside Li Shimin, also gripped her teacup slightly, looking a little nervous.

Immortality—these two words represent the ultimate goal that countless emperors dreamed of, and also the pretext for countless alchemists and sorcerers to swindle and deceive.

When Li Shimin asked this question, it meant that his expectations of Shen Chang'an had far exceeded the scope of "miracle doctor".
