Chapter 13: Diagnosis and Tailored Prescription!

Guihua, Guihua, how's Ping'an?

At that moment, a nervous voice from Wang Lin came from outside the bedroom; Zhang Guihua, who was sitting on the bed watching over Wang Ping'an together with Liu Dongzhu, had a face full of worry, and upon hearing this, hurriedly replied:

Old man, you finally returned. Wei Langzhong, have you summoned him?

He's been called!

As Wang Lin finished speaking, he and a middle‑aged man carrying a medicine chest entered from outside, one after the other.

Zhang Guihua quickly rose from the bed, went to meet him, and impatiently said, "Wei Langzhong, our Ping'an looks pale, drenched in cold sweat all over, please take a look—what exactly is wrong with Ping'an?"

Aunt Zhang, don't worry, your Ping'an will be fine!

Wei Yuan offered a comforting word, came to Liu Dongzhu with the medicine chest, and as Zhang Guihua promptly fetched a chair, he sat down hurriedly, then began to examine Wang Ping'an's condition, and upon the first glance let out a sudden exclamation.

Whether it was Zhang Guihua, Liu Dongzhu, Wang Lin, or even Wang Ping'an, hearing Wei Yuan's startled shout, they all jumped a bit and said in unison:

Wei Langzhong, there's nothing serious with our Ping'an, right?

Your Ping'an's condition is rather serious!

Wei Yuan exhaled a heavy gust of foul breath, his expression instantly turning extremely solemn, and said, "Madam Wang, don't move around; let me examine carefully!"

Damn it, don't scare me, I'm cowardly!

Wang Ping'an muttered under his breath, trembling with fear.

Ding! You have been thoroughly examined by Doctor Wei Yuan, and you gain the talent — Diagnostic Skill 【Entry】.

After a long while, Wei Yuan examined Wang Ping'an inside and out, exhaled another heavy gust of foul breath, and seeing the Wang Family Members' worried gazes, finally spoke, "Everyone, your Ping'an's problem is very serious…"

Before he could finish speaking, Liu Dongzhu's body went limp, she was about to faint away and collapsed onto the bed; Wei Yuan hurriedly grabbed Liu Dongzhu and shook her awake.

As soon as Liu Dongzhu woke, tears poured down like rain, and she said, "Wei Langzhong, is there any hope for our Ping'an?"

There is hope, of course there is hope. Madam Wang, wait for me to finish speaking; don't scare yourself!

Wei Yuan gave a wry smile and said, "But it seems that besides your Ping'an, Madam Wang, your own condition is also quite serious!"

Not to mention Wei Yuan, Wang Ping'an, who just acquired the Diagnostic Skill, instinctively used it and likewise discovered that his mother's health was in trouble.

Besides the lingering illness that gave birth to him not yet healed, she also suffers a severe heart disease; if not diagnosed and treated promptly, it could become life‑threatening.

Fortunately.

Wei Yuan is no quack; being able to spot his mother's issue, he should have a way to treat it, after all her condition has only appeared recently.

Thinking of this, Wang Ping'an let out a sigh of relief.

Liu Dongzhu said, "Doctor Wei, don't worry about me; saving our Ping'an is the priority!"

No!

Wang Lin interrupted, "Doctor Wei, don't listen to Dongzhu. Saving Ping'an is urgent, and saving Dongzhu is also urgent, but please don't delay Dongzhu's illness!"

Zhang Guihua echoed, "Exactly, exactly, whether it's Ping'an or Dongzhu, both are very important to our family!"

Madam Wang, Uncle Wang, Aunt Zhang, don't worry; whether it's your Ping'an or Madam Wang, their illnesses are serious but have only just appeared, not yet reaching a terminal stage!

Wei Yuan chuckled, "Let me first prescribe a formula for your Ping'an, then examine Dongzhu again, and afterwards prescribe a formula for Dongzhu!"

While speaking, Wei Yuan opened the medicine chest, took out brush, ink, paper and inkstone, and Wang Lin moved a table over, placed the writing set on it, and began to write.

In no time, a prescription took shape!

Ding! You have received a prescription written by Doctor Wei Yuan, and you gain the talent — Prescribe Accordingly 【Entry】! Another mechanical, cold voice rang in his mind; on Wang Ping'an's pale little face was an unmistakable joy. With these two talents, his mother's and even his grandparents' longevity will no longer be an issue.

If he could learn a few more health‑cultivation techniques and later teach them to his mother and grandparents, perhaps they could all enjoy extended lifespans.

Therefore.

Wang Ping'an decided that if the chance arose, he must acquire several superior health‑cultivation techniques.

Soon after, Wei Yuan once again examined Liu Dongzhu's body carefully, prepared another prescription, and said, "It just so happens that I have all these medicines at home."

"Doctor Wei, I'll go with you to your house to fetch the medicines, and also ask you to explain all the taboos!"

Wang Lin said.

After a long while, Wang Lin returned carrying bundles of packed medicinal herbs. Seeing Zhang Guihua accompanying Liu Dongzhu and realizing what had just happened, which had frightened Liu Dongzhu, he did not disturb Zhang Guihua, but instead took the bundles to the kitchen himself to decoct medicine for Liu Dongzhu and Wang Ping'an.

Some time later.

Wang Lin carried two bowls of steaming medicinal soup to the bedside, first handing the bowl in his left hand to Liu Dongzhu, saying, "Dongzhu, this is your medicine; drink it while it's hot!"

This novel you

Afterwards.

Wang Lin handed the other bowl of medicinal soup to Zhang Guihua, letting her feed Wang Ping'an.

Ding! Consuming the soup grants Growth Energy +1!

A mechanical, cold voice rang in his mind, and Wang Ping'an was startled; he had never imagined that besides drinking milk, taking medicine could also grant Growth Energy, though he wondered what else besides these two could increase growth herbs.

Soon, Zhang Guihua fed an entire bowl of soup to Wang Ping'an, causing his Growth Energy to jump by nearly thirty points; she handed back the empty bowl and said, "Old man, tonight I'll sleep together with Dongzhu!"

Alright!

Wang Lin took the bowl, nodded, and said, "Sleep early!"

Lord Wang, Lord Wang!

The next day at dawn, a loud shouting startled Wang Ping'an from his deep sleep; instinctively he opened his eyes, tried to get up to see what was happening, and only then realized he was still a baby.

He couldn't even crawl yet, let alone walk!

However.

He didn't give up, but used the skill — Beast Taming, to wake the little black dog from its slumber.

The little black dog let out an annoyed howl, yet obeyed the command, and was driven out of its warm doghouse.

Then he used the skill — Pet's Eye!

At the gate of his own courtyard, a squad of men in constable uniforms appeared.

"Lord Wang, we heard there was a homicide in your family; is everything alright?"

Chief Constable Mao gave a flattering smile, looking at the farmer‑like old man before him, yet he dared not offend him in the slightest, for the man's son was a Third‑ranked presented scholar, even though he heard a funeral had been held the day before yesterday.

They held a funeral for his son, the Third‑ranked presented scholar!

Although the incident occurred only recently, it has already spread wildly throughout the county town.

Even though Wang Lin has already severed the father‑son relationship with Wang Ruhai, Mao still does not dare to offend him in the slightest.
