After studying the Six Volumes of Acupuncture for a while, Wang Yao took out his phone and thought that quite some time had passed since the exam. He wondered if the results were announced.

After checking his result, he was dumbfounded.

How is it possible that I didn’t pass?

Looking at the two scores displayed on his phone, Wang Yao carefully checked his name and identification number.

There was nothing wrong. It was his result.

However, the problem was that how could he score such a low mark? There were two possibilities. The exam paper was either dropped out of the package or the teacher marking the exam paper was a person who studied sports.

The more he thought about it, the more he was convinced that there was something fishy about it.

This matter has to be solved!

He picked up his phone and called He Qisheng.

“There should be a problem. I’ll help you ask about it immediately.” After hanging up, He Qisheng, who was on the other end of the phone, looked grave.

He had already asked about it. There was nothing wrong with the result.

In Ji City, He Qisheng had also encountered a problem. The person whom he entrusted actually said that the matter was a bit difficult to be dealt with. Obviously, someone was deliberately looking for trouble.

He paced back and forth in the room. This time, he entrusted someone in his name. Although Miss Guo had stepped in, she did not utilize her relationship with that person. He initially thought that it was not something difficult and he did not expect that there would be a mistake.

Could it be that I really need to trouble that person?

…

Inside a residence somewhere in Ji City.

Ouch. A young man who looked like a heavy smoker walked as if he was treading on air. He seemed like he could be blown away by a gust of wind. He used the wall as a support and made a painful sound.

The person was Li Shaoyang. After suffering from vomiting and diarrhea and being hospitalized twice, the dandy who was once somewhat easy in his skin had lost more than 30 kilograms of weight. He was even currently suffering from anorexia and had no appetite. He looked just like a ghost.

His body was extremely weak. Not to mention that he did not have a tiny bit of strength, the inside of his body was scorching hot, as if there was a fire in his stomach.

“Sigh!” Looking at his son, Li Shaoyang’s father was angry, but he felt sorry for his son at the same time.

“Big Brother, don’t worry. Shaoyang’s condition is just temporary,” a middle-aged man comforted him from the side.

“Yes, I received a call from there just now. Someone stood up for Wang Yao, but I rejected him.”

“Who is it?”

“Someone named He Qisheng.”

“He Qisheng?” After hearing the name, Li Yaosheng’s brother carefully pondered for a while. Then, the look on his face changed greatly. “The personal consultant of the Guo family.”

“Guo family? Which Guo family?” Li Yaosheng was startled.

“My Big Brother, it’s Ji City here. Which Guo family do you think it is?!”

Li Yaosheng thought about it carefully and the look on his face changed as well.

“Could it be that he’s related to that person?”

“No. Otherwise, he shouldn’t be the one appearing personally. Perhaps it was just a personal relationship. However, we need to be careful about this matter. We can’t afford to offend the “god.””

“Okay.”

The final direction of the development of this matter later shocked everyone. This was another story.

…

On Nanshan hill, Wang Yao was refining pills. This was what he thought about when he was free in the past few days. He specially prepared it for his grandparents. It could be used in emergencies, just like the time when his grandfather had a heatstroke.

Besides using some of the Prolongation pills which he had refined last time, he also gave away three pills to his parents and sister respectively. He specially reminded them that they could only use it on themselves and could not tell anyone else.

Compared to the preciousness of the Prolongation pill, this pill was relatively more ordinary. He had already basically selected the medicinal herbs.

Glossy ganoderma, Ginseng, licorice, moonflower and Guiyuan.

Although there were only two licorice roots in it, they were some valuable herbs. Furthermore, they were all wild.

These herbs had to be crushed into fine powder completely before using. Then, it had to be sieved slowly with a fine sieve to choose the suitable fine powder. This process had to be repeated for a few times. This process was actually boring. However, if one could concentrate, he could discover the fun in within.

Just like Wang Yao now, he was judging the medicinal herbs which had been crushed into fine powder by looking and smelling. He tried to remember their special characteristics and confirmed it with the knowledge instilled by the system. There was still a reward.

Furthermore, the crushing of the medicine, the sieving and the “tossing” of the medicine, which came later, actually required skills. These skills had to be practiced continuously, as the saying goes, practice makes perfect. This was the reason behind it.

The medicinal herbs were prepared. Wang Yao was not in a hurry to practice. Instead, he looked for several other types of medicine which were prepared earlier and were not used up. They were placed in the medicine basket and was tossed back and forth.

The medicine basket looked light, but in fact, a lot of knowledge and skills were stillk required in using it.

A big toss, a small toss, a front lift, a back lift, a big turn and a small turn.

Wang Yao treated this process as training his hands and warming up. As for the pills refined in the end, he had tried it before. It was useful to consume the pill himself. He kept a small portion of it. He melted most of it and used it to water the trees and herbal field.

He familiarized himself with the process. The sky outside had also darkened.

Looking at the sky outside, Wang Yao thought to himself, I’ll refine the pill tomorrow.

Besides being particular about the medicinal herbs, refining a medicine also required the right time, the right place and the right person.

Extreme weathers such as storms and hot days were not suitable for refining medicine. Besides, confined and shady places were also unsuitable for refining medicine. Lastly, a person who lacked vital essence and was absent-minded was not suitable for refining medicine as well.

The emphasis in it was exceptionally huge in amount.

He would refine the medicine the next morning and go out in the afternoon.

In the evening, he went down the hill and returned home. During dinner, he heard his parents talk about the students in the village who had taken the exam for a few years.

The results of the College Entrance Examination had already been released. One of the candidates obtained an excellent result, which was even better than Wang Yao’s result that year.

“I heard that Fenglong’s son, He, has received an offer letter from Tsinghua University.”

It was one of the best universities in the country. The entire Lianshan County might not even be able to produce a few top students in a year. This was undoubtedly a glory in this small mountain village.

“Look at his mother’s happy face. She smiles at everyone.”

“This is a good thing, so it’s natural for her to smile joyfully,” Wang Yao replied.

When he was admitted to university, his parents were ecstatic all day. When they heard the praises from the villagers, how they looked like could be imagined.

“I heard that the town and the county have given him an award.”

“This is also an unwritten case. Every year, the students who are admitted into the famous universities in the country, especially those admitted to Tsinghua University and Beijing University, are rewarded by the county. On the one hand, they’re encouraging the students and on the other hand, they’re considered as investments,” Wang Yao explained with a smile.

At that time, another family in the village.

The family had just seen the people who came to congratulate off and was having their dinner happily. As parents, they were very delighted that their son had been admitted to Tsinghua University.

“He, tell Father. What do you want?”

“Father, I’ve told you before. I just want a mobile phone,” the young boy wearing a pair of spectacles replied with a smile.

“Okay. No problem!”

“He, Mother will tell you first, you must study hard when you go to Jing City and get a good job in the future. Don’t be like Wang Yao. He did get admitted to a famous university, but he came back to the village to plant herbs,” his mother said.

“Hey, our son is definitely different from him,” Wang Fenglong replied.

Even now, there were still quite a few people in the village who still used Wang Yao as a negative example to educate their children. He was criticized even when he was just quietly minding his own business.

If Wang Yao heard this, it was not known how he would feel. This matter was just a small episode. Every family still had to live their lives that they were supposed to live.

The next morning, Wang Yao started to refine the Prolongation pill.

He sprinkled the medicine powder and sprayed some water. It was not ordinary water. It was the ancient spring water mixed with moonflower. Then, he tossed the medicine basket.

As the medicine basket continued to flip, the medicine powder inside slowly became millet-sized spheres.

He then sprinkled the medicine powder again and repeated it continuously. As the medicine powder was tossed repeatedly, the size of the pills in the medicine basket became bigger and bigger.

After an entire morning, at last, 36 soybean-sized pills were refined in the medicine basket.

How’s the effect?

After coming out of the cottage, Wang Yao called the dog, “San Xian.”

“Come, have a taste.”

Ow! The dog stared at the pill which Wang Yao was pinching with his fingers, and let out a deep growling sound.

“It’s good stuff. Taste it.”

Finally, Wang Yao successfully put the pill in the dog’s mouth.

After eating the pill, San Xian stood there and stuck out his tongue to lick.

“How do you feel?” Wang Yao carefully observed the reaction of the dog.

In fact, he knew that the pill definitely did not have any side effects. Except that the efficacy of the Ginseng was slightly strong, the other medicinal herbs were very mild.
