While Zhang Fan was receiving treatment, only Leng Juan came over; Wei Yangze stayed with Wei Qing the whole time.
Later, when Zhang Fan left, he heard the couple having a heated argument.
However, Cen Zhi and Luo Chang kept pestering him, so he didn't dare to eavesdrop.
Cen Zhi and Luo Chang echoed each other, praising the benefits of going to the capital, but Zhang Fan remained unmoved.
The two grew even more fond of Zhang Fan, for he was not swayed by worldly temptations, which was truly rare.
Annoyed by the two men's persistence, Zhang Fan simply got into his car and left.
Sheng Jian'an was so angry at the sight that he felt like his back teeth were about to break.
Even when renowned medical experts in both traditional Chinese and Western medicine came to persuade him, Zhang Fan didn't appreciate it; he truly lacked foresight.
Zhang Fan went directly to Liu Li's shop. There weren't many people buying medicine today; only Wang Yi was in the shop.
Upon seeing Zhang Fan, Wang Yi immediately put down his book and walked over: "Mr. Zhang, this is the medicine you bought."
When Zhang Fan received the medicine, he glanced at the book Wang Yi was reading, which was called "Treatise on Febrile Diseases".
This book, written by Zhang Zhongjing, the Sage of Medicine, is a classic work of traditional Chinese medicine and a monograph that elucidates the principles of treating exogenous febrile diseases.
Zhang Fan: "He's quite ambitious."
Wang Yi's expression was complicated. After hesitating for two seconds, he slowly asked, "Dr. Zhang, can you treat tumors?"
The Wuji Jing records that tumors are caused by external pathogens, deficiency of vital energy, stagnation of qi and blood stasis, etc. It can improve immunity and inhibit tumor growth.
It is indeed not easy to treat, but it is not that difficult either.
Zhang Fan told the truth: "I've never treated it."
Disappointment flashed across Wang Yi's face, just as Zhang Fan continued, "But we can give it a try."
Wang Yi immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Zhang Fan: "Please help me, I'll do anything, even sell my blood or organs."
He kowtowed repeatedly to the ground, and soon his forehead turned bright red.
Zhang Fan helped the person up: "I can help, but I have one condition. I'll tell you when I think of it."
He has never been treated for tumors before, but the methods recorded in the "Wuji Jing" should be able to cure him.
He couldn't bear to watch the other person die so young, suffering from illness all the time.
Wang Yi's expression instantly turned excited, and he kowtowed deeply to Zhang Fan: "Thank you, Mr. Zhang."
Zhang Fan waved his hand, and Wang Yi continued, "Mr. Zhang, could you give me an address? I'll bring my brother to find you."
Zhang Fan: "I'm moving to town in a couple of days. I'll let you know then, and you can come over. In a day or two, the tumor won't change much."
"good."
Zhang Fan got into the car with the medicine. On his way home, he heard Li Chunyan talking to Bai Rou'er on the phone.
"Miss Bai, thank you for your hard work. Our business will definitely get better and better in the future. But you have to be careful. You can never be too careful."
With a large family at home, it was inconvenient to refine medicine. Zhang Fan went home to get the cauldron and then took Xiao Hei and headed towards the steep southern slope.
With nothing to do, Ji Zhi sent all the corn and other produce from his home to Aunt Pang's house.
Once the rice was harvested, they would move. Corn was heavy and cumbersome, so Li Chunyan sold most of the corn to Aunt Pang's family to feed their pigs, keeping a small portion for herself.
On the steep southern slope, Zhang Fan led Xiao Hei to the house where the wolf king had lived before.
This place is now desolate, with not a trace of wolves to be seen.
Amidst the towering pile of rubble, withered yellow weeds dot the landscape.
Little Black's head drooped, its ears drooping, as if it were very sad.
Zhang Fan: "Maybe they moved."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a rustling sound was heard.
A dark figure emerged and headed straight for Xiao Hei.
Little Black was pinned down by a gray wolf, its face pressed tightly to the ground. Its ears stood up instantly, and it lay on its back, exposing its belly.
Zhang Fan recognized this as one of the female wolves, but it was thinner than before, with dry, yellow fur, missing several teeth, and covered in wounds. Zhang Fan asked, "Where are the other wolves?"
The mother wolf looked up at the sky and howled, tears streaming from her eyes. Little Black followed her and howled at the sky, his voice filled with sorrow.
It seems that all the other wolves have been killed, leaving only this mother wolf.
However, the mother wolf was not in good condition either; she was slow to move and was nearing the end of her life.
Zhang Fan sighed: "You two talk this out. I'll find a place to refine pills."
He found a shady spot, took out the furnace and medicine, and placed them on the ground.
These medicinal herbs are processed at the herbal medicine shop; some are sliced, some are chopped, and some are ground into powder.
Zhang Fan gathered some dry firewood nearby and began refining medicines that would aid his cultivation.
He looked up and saw the mother wolf licking Little Black's fur not far away, making snorting noises, her eyes filled with reluctance.
Zhang Fan withdrew his gaze, focusing all his attention on the pills he was refining.
This time, he still refined Qi-replenishing pills, but with a different formula, making them even more potent than before.
While refining, Zhang Fan sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and concentrated, just as he was about to circulate his spiritual energy, when the mother wolf suddenly rushed over, making anxious noises and biting Zhang Fan's shoes, as if she wanted to take him somewhere.
These wolves were all intelligent and perceptive, so Zhang Fan knew that the mother wolf had something to say to him. He withdrew his spiritual energy and followed behind the mother wolf.
After turning several corners, Zhang Fan saw the carcasses of several wolves. They were contorted in their postures, surrounding a tree, and had turned into skeletons, black as charcoal. The tree trunk also showed signs of being scorched.
Just as Little Black was about to run over, he was stopped by the mother wolf. Little Black could only howl to the sky, his voice filled with sorrow.
It turns out that this was the tree that was struck by lightning a few days ago, but why did these wolves do that?
Zhang Fan looked closely and saw a faint glimmer of light flashing across the scorched earth.
He took a step forward, and the she-wolf immediately stepped in front of him, blocking his path.
