To heal the sick and save lives, start with the Sunflower Manual!

[To treat patients with disordered Qi and blood.]

[Reward: Seven-Star Begonia Flower]

Upon seeing the reward notification, Lu Yao couldn't help but frown.

Isn't this an improvement in the progress of the "Nine Yang Divine Skill"?

It looks like we'll have to use more potent medicine; ordinary medicine won't be enough to make the rewards refresh with good items.

He has only mastered the Sunflower Manual to perfection, while his progress in the Nine Yang Divine Skill is still not up to par and he needs to put in more effort.

As for the reward of the seven-star crabapple blossoms...

This thing is inherently poisonous, and medication won't be very effective; it's far less effective than the Crimson Blood Flower.

Lu Yao plans to use the seven-star begonia flowers as ornamental flowers.

After detoxifying Wei Nianqi, Lu Yao raised his hand helplessly and said, "Alright, go to the backyard and wash your face yourself. It's just to get your blood flowing, you're acting like you're about to die."

The disdain in his words was incredibly direct.

Wei Nianqi's lips twitched, and she breathed a sigh of relief as if she had escaped a disaster. She immediately went to the backyard to clean up.

He was bleeding from all seven orifices, and his appearance was terrifying.

Shen Yiwei, who had been silently watching the whole thing, quickly finished cleaning the clinic and hurriedly went back to the backyard to fetch water to wash her clothes.

She finally understood that Lu Yao was the real devil.

It's normal to test drugs on living people; many doctors around the world do this.

However, the drugs Lu Yao tested were all poisons. Not only were their effects peculiar, but he also told the test subjects in advance that the psychological and physical torment was terrifying.

At one point, Shen Yiwei even worried that Lu Yao had poisoned her.

But it seems that Lu Yao still has a bottom line.

It's impossible for someone to poison another person for no reason, and with Wei Nianqi testing the medicine, she's not in much danger.

Wei Nianqi doesn't mind suffering a little.

She carried bucket after bucket of water into the wooden basin, then brought out soapberries and Lu Yao's pile of dirty clothes. She glanced at a strange green plant on the table, then lowered her head and began to wash them carefully.

The seven-star begonia on the table swayed gently, as if cheering and jumping for joy.

Lu Yao stood at the clinic looking at the trial records for this drug.

The Qingxin Huoxue Wan (a traditional Chinese medicine) is very effective.

If someone is seriously injured, one pill can keep them alive, but it's a pity the toxicity is too weak.

Three-drug.

But Qingxin Huoxue Wan probably doesn't even have three parts poison.

It seems this medicine can only be used as a life-saving measure; we need to continue to concoct some new poisons.

Just as he was thinking this, Old Ge walked in through the door carrying a roast chicken, chuckling, "Hey, the sun's risen in the west! What brings you up so early today?"

"Old Ge, you went to the brothel again?"

Looking at Old Man Ge's refreshed appearance, Lu Yao guessed that he had probably gone to a brothel again last night and only returned early this morning.

Looking at the marks left on her neck, it's obvious they were left by that Mrs. Wang.

Tsk tsk.

At his age, is he really going to die because of a woman?

"Old Ge, how about I take a look at you? I'm really worried that you might kick the bucket and die in the Yiqing Tower one day."

"Get out of here, you jinx! Can't you even speak properly?"

Old Ge immediately became displeased and snorted, "I was going to help the girls, what do you know, you brat?"

"Yes, yes, you're amazing!"

Lu Yao was speechless at Old Man Ge's shamelessness.

This old man has absolutely no shame.

Seemingly sensing the sarcasm in Lu Yao's words, Old Man Ge snorted and picked up the roast chicken, walking outside while muttering, "He was even thinking of passing on a message for Mudan, that brat really doesn't know what's good for him!"

As they were talking, Old Man Ge had already left the clinic and turned to walk towards the courtyard next door.

The clinic became deserted again.

Shen Yiwei was washing clothes in the backyard, and Wei Nianqi was so frightened that she didn't dare to come in. She simply stayed in the backyard and questioned her existence.

Lu Yao took out the ledger and began to record the medicinal materials and expenses of the past few days.

The Zhou family already took over the house and land deeds for this year, so they'll have to wait until next year to collect rent.

Lu Yao now has less than a hundred taels of silver left.

This hundred taels was given to him by Xue Zhiheng.

After deducting the money spent on medicinal herbs and the money Shen Yiwei spent on groceries, the remaining money will now be used for the clinic's future expenses, and more medicinal herbs will need to be replenished.

"Dr. Lu!"

Suddenly, a clear shout interrupted Lu Yao's thoughts.

Looking up, Song Feixu, dressed in men's clothing, walked in, carrying an unsheathed sword in her left hand, and strode into the clinic.

"Officer Song."

Lu Yao put down the brush in her hand and said with a smile, "Please sit down, please sit down. You still need to rest more to recover from your injuries. You must not get it wet or make any great movements."

"Don't worry, I know everything Dr. Lu told me."

Song Feixu came to see Lu Yao specifically because she had something to discuss with him.

To avoid the Six Doors members leaving in a hurry and then not having enough time to inform Lu Yao.

Seeing that Song Feixu seemed hesitant to speak, Lu Yao poured her some tea and then said with a smile, "Officer Song, please speak freely. If there's anything I can do to help you, just let me know."

"My grandfather is on his way to Nanjing."

After hesitating for a moment, Song Feixu slowly began to explain, "My grandfather has been overworking and his health is deteriorating. He needs to recuperate in Jinling City, and I hope Doctor Lu can lend a hand!"

"No problem, no problem."

Lu Yao nodded in agreement without much thought.

He wished he had as many patients as possible on his side.

The more patients he has, the more rewards he receives; the more rewards he receives, the higher his ability becomes.

This is a very positive development approach.

"Well... the fact that you treated my injuries can't be kept from my family. They might ask about it. My grandfather probably won't say anything, but my father will definitely keep asking."

With a touch of shyness and restraint, Song Feixu said, "My father is a scholar, and my grandfather often scolds him for being a bookworm. He is also quite straightforward. If my father says anything unpleasant, I hope Dr. Lu will be understanding."

As she spoke, she took out a silver ingot from her sleeve, which was about ten taels.

Lu Yao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "What does Officer Song mean by this? Are you looking down on me?"

"Oh? No, no, Dr. Lu has misunderstood."

Song Feixu knew it was wrong of her to bribe Lu Yao, so she immediately took the money back and said awkwardly, "My father might ask you a lot of questions, and he might even force you to agree to certain conditions. You must remember not to agree to them."

Lu Yao: ? ? ?

No, you just took the money back like that?

Don't you know that I, Lu, am doing this for money?

To save the Zhou family's lives, they gave up all their assets, and even the father and son came to my side.

You, Officer Song, really have no sense at all; you immediately took back the money you offered.

This is... a very difficult situation...
