After Sang Xuezhen and Xiao Tianhua left, the Third Prince summoned Ren Quan.
"Pass my order and conduct a thorough investigation of the Mountain Gate Pass."
"yes."
…
Five days after the martial arts tournament concluded, the martial artists who had gathered in Liuyue City gradually departed. Fewer people resorted to swordplay, and the clinic's revenue plummeted. After all, the clinic's fees were extremely high. If it weren't for the martial arts tournament, they wouldn't have been willing to spend so much money on minor injuries, fearing they would have been affected by subsequent competitions.
As for Cui Yan and Xi Xue, it was rumored that they would go out daily to perform acupuncture and detoxification on the Third Prince, and then be taken back to Liuyue Villa, where they would be confined to the courtyard to copy medical texts. Their comfortable days were gone, and they complained bitterly. With their absence, the clinic returned to its previous routine and stopped accepting routine cases.
The winner of the martial arts competition was a Xiantian disciple from Liuyue Villa. Yang Lan, a man without a sect or school, was absent on the final day of the competition. The entire martial arts community waited for him at the venue for a whole day, but he never showed up.
After the Gu worm incident, everyone speculated that he was involved. Unexpectedly, he returned to Liuyue City a few days later. He was stopped upon entering the city, and three bloody human heads were found in his bag.
After the martial arts tournament, Yang Lan gained some fame in Liuyue City, frightening the city guards and causing a commotion. Later, it was discovered that the three heads were the bounties offered by the Jinguang Pavilion, with a combined value of 3,700 taels of silver. Yang Lan had been missing for a few days to make some money.
After receiving the bounty from Jinguang Pavilion, he immediately paid Mei Liangzhe's medical fee. He also spent money to hire someone to prepare nourishing meals for Mei Liangzhe every day and deliver them regularly.
Mei Liangzhe recovered well at the clinic, and after seven days, he could barely move his fingers, so he was moved out of the clinic with a few splints. But on the first day after leaving, he developed a fever.
"It must be that the kid who claims to be a disciple of Medicine King Valley is unreliable." Quan Yongzhi looked as if he had expected it.
"Hurry back and ask Dr. Er to take another look and see if there's any way to remedy the situation."
Several disciples from Mingyue Villa accompanied Mei Liangzhe to the clinic for treatment, feeling extremely anxious. If it weren't for Mei Liangzhe's injury and the inconvenience of the long journey, they would have all returned long ago.

[Meridian Disorder][Limb Loss: Health Limit Decreases by 1%] Red Flashing
Eryi checked his condition and saw that the health limit reduction caused by [Limb Dismemberment] had been reduced to 1%, indicating that he was almost fully recovered. However, his health, which had been boosted by recuperation at the clinic earlier, had somehow plummeted. Seeing that the areas that needed observation were almost fully recovered, Eryi gave him a bowl of Ma Fei San and cast a healing spell. The [Limb Dismemberment] also disappeared, and he was fully healed.
When the people at Mingyue Villa saw that she had only given him a bowl of medicine and the patient's fever had gone down and he had fallen asleep, they praised him as a god.
Eryi instructed the disciples of Mingyue Villa to remember not to let Mei Liangzhe touch water for a month and not to break the board, and then asked them to carry him back.
It was strange to say, this fever wasn't the right symptom for the healing technique, yet somehow it was still effective. Eryi wondered if he could try using the healing technique on other ailments.
…
Doctor He felt that this matter was not simple.
The woman in white, walking back and forth with her hands behind her back, was Liuyue City's most renowned doctor. She entered, nodded and greeted him, then said nothing, simply surveying the hall and pacing back and forth. Her footsteps were like a hammer striking Doctor He's heart, each step a hammer struck.
Why did this guy come to his herbal hall instead of staying in his own clinic?
Doctor He finally couldn't help himself and took the man aside, asking softly, "Dr. Er, what brings you here today?" He was thinking to himself, what if this doctor said he was impressed by his qualifications and wanted to take him in as a disciple? This doctor was at least ten years younger than him, should he agree or not?
"I'm sorry, but am I disturbing you, doctor?" Eryi took out a small piece of silver, about two taels, and quietly handed it to Doctor He. "I'll just take a look."
"Is there something wrong here?" Doctor He hesitated. What was the point of giving silver?
"Nothing wrong, go ahead." Seeing that Doctor He did not take the two taels of silver, Eryi took out a larger piece, about ten taels, and stuffed it over to him.
Could Doctor He be the kind of person who is blinded by money?
He is.
"Please feel free to watch whatever you want." He asked his apprentice to move a stool aside and let Eryi sit down and watch whatever he wanted.
So the patients who came to Bencaotang that day were confused. Although Eryi was famous, this was still the ancient times. Without billboards showing her photo every day, it was impossible for everyone to know her.
Bencaotang was two streets away from her clinic, and ordinary residents had only heard of his name but had never seen him.
"Who is this woman?" a patient's family member asked quietly.
"Never seen it?"
"Is this Doctor He's new apprentice?"
"Which apprentice sits there like a Buddha and the master is still respectful?" Someone nearby disagreed and couldn't help but interject.
"A woman in white. She's in her twenties, but she doesn't wear her hair in a bun." Someone suddenly had an idea: "Could it be the miracle doctor Na'er?"
"Are you here to recruit disciples at Bencaotang?"
"Ah, she's coming." Everyone stopped talking and turned their eyes to the side, but they were still observing secretly with their peripheral eyes.
Eryi had intended to cast a spell on these patients while they weren't paying attention, to see if their condition would change. But everyone stared at her the moment they entered, making it difficult to do so.
Several patients had different abnormal conditions, but the specific conditions were not displayed in the personal dashboard.

Most of them are in a similar state, with the upper limits of health and fatigue values reduced.
After thinking for a while, Eryi said a few words to Doctor He, then left Bencao Hall and went to look for Yang Ronger.
When Yang Ronger heard that Eryi wanted to disguise herself as an ordinary woman and blend in with the patients of Bencaotang, she immediately became excited.
"Mr. Er, what are you doing?" As she said this, she asked someone to bring her props.
"Rong'er has just started learning the art of disguise. Although it's not so good that martial artists can't tell her apart, it won't be difficult for her to blend in with Mr. Er in the market and pretend to be an ordinary woman." As he said this, he began to work.
An hour later, Eryi changed into the most common clothes women wore these days, combed her hair into a bun, and headed for Bencaotang. This time, no one recognized her.
Having already informed Doctor He, he opened his eyes and looked at the famous doctor, painted his face sallow, and stayed in the herbal hut for a whole day. It was hot, and the color on his face became increasingly blurred as time went by.
She took advantage of the patients' discomfort and distraction to secretly cast spells on different people, but the effects were different.

This man had eaten the wrong thing due to the hot weather, suffering from heatstroke and diarrhea. Eryi used healing techniques and the Spring Breeze Technique on him, but to no avail. The Herbal Hall offered a herbal medicine brewing service, and the apprentice prepared some in the courtyard for him to drink. The red status began to flicker green, signaling improvement.
Zhang Yi
HP 92%/99% red Fatigue 57/98 red
This person had cut his hand a few days ago and hadn't taken medication in time, so the wound became inflamed and he had a slight fever. A single healing spell healed him completely, and his health and fatigue limits, which had dropped, returned to normal.
As expected, healing magic only works on external injuries. However, collecting information from her personal dashboard will be very useful when she returns to her original plane. If it's just a minor injury, her health points will decrease while her upper limit doesn't. However, if it's another ailment, it will decrease simultaneously. Taking the right medicine will instantly turn the status green. If it's ineffective, there will be no change; if it worsens, her health points will continue to decrease.
Among those who came to Bencaotang for treatment that day, those who had suffered injuries recovered completely that same day. Even their families wouldn't believe it if they told others about it.
There was a man who had always had a fondness for the profession of doctor. The next day, he ran to Bencaotang, shook Doctor He's hand, thanked him profusely, and even brought him some homemade food. Doctor He was completely confused.
"Son, practice calligraphy well. When you grow up a little, your father will prepare some apprenticeship gifts and ask Doctor He to accept you as his apprentice." The two-year-old boy laughed at his father after hearing this.
…
One month later.
Sang Xuezhen, through his daily practice of the Spring Breeze Technique, had completely streamlined his internal energy. By integrating the internal energy accumulated in his meridians over the years, his already robust internal energy had reached a new level. Finally, he was able to completely expel the heat and poison with his own internal energy alone. A man in his fifties, his complexion was radiant, unlike any other.
Xiao Tianhua's condition wasn't as severe as Sang Xuezhen's, but after only ten days, he had already recovered to his peak form. However, due to the poisonous insect having devoured a lot of his internal energy earlier, he was now slightly shorter than Sang Xuezhen.
The Third Prince left Liuyue City ten days ago.
Twenty days after receiving Cui Yan's acupuncture, he successfully expelled the poison. He had been using Er Yi's detoxification reservoir throughout the process. Cui Yan explained that detoxification could suppress the toxins, preventing them from spreading freely, perfectly complementing his acupuncture methods. The Third Prince believed that this method could suppress the discomfort caused by the poison and clear his mind. The affairs of the court were already overwhelming, and being tormented by the virus would be even more difficult.
During this month, Eryi drank magic supplements every day, and rested as soon as his fatigue value reached 80. He drank 3000 energy points of magic supplements alone. He finally upgraded the Spring Breeze Technique to level 5, and the Detoxification Technique to medium level. Current status:
Spring Breeze Skill Lv5 (0/600): Each use consumes 30 mana points and increases fatigue by 2 points. The skill has a 10-minute cooldown and lasts for 24 hours. This skill is upgradeable, increasing its duration by 4 hours per level.
Intermediate Detoxification (Upgradeable) 0/3000: Detoxifies most toxins, including rare ones. Each use costs 30 mana points. Casting requires chanting the corresponding incantation, and each use increases Fatigue by 3.
[Triggering a new contract path. Opening the contract channel requires 10,000 energy points.]
[Are you sure to deduct 10,000 energy points to open the contract channel? ]
【yes】
Several new icons have appeared in the Contracts panel, but only one is clickable, a green one. The others are all gray? Squares.
After Eryi clicked on the green icon, a line of text popped up:
Piccolo is a rare and unique Pokémon that can use Spring Breeze. Its maximum mana is 500, and its recovery rate is 2 mana per minute. Its Spring Breeze skill is level 3, and its skill level is upgradeable. It has no fatigue level. (This Pokémon can be upgraded.) Once summoned, it requires 1 energy per day to maintain its activity. Contracting requires 20,000 energy.
Pulling the line of words aside, a 3D model appeared before her.
Green...melon?
