Capítulo 751: Chapter 733 Shh, there is a God Stick next door

Seeing Mrs. Bai both crying and laughing in excitement upon hearing that Qin Liuxi could cure her, Mrs. Wei felt a pang of heartache and her eyes reddened. It was good that the condition could be treated. She did not want to see any changes in her son and daughter-in-law’s relationship, not to mention the fear of her daughter-in-law suddenly falling ill and frightening her little grandson, resulting in the mother and son becoming distant.

Mrs. Wei patted her daughter-in-law on the shoulder and asked Qin Liuxi, “May I ask the Junior Temple Master, how exactly will this blood condition be treated, and how should the prescription be formulated?”

Qin Liuxi thought for a moment and replied, “Four Substances Soup is the most common prescription for nourishing and supplementing blood. However, I plan to modify it by replacing peony with Qianghuo and Angelica dahurica, and adding Qinjiao and Angelica dahurica, to achieve the effect of dispelling wind and nourishing blood. Drinking two doses should cure it. Thus, it’s not really Four Substances Soup anymore; it might be more appropriate to call it Qinjiao Decoction.”

Mrs. Bai was delighted and sincerely said, “Please trouble the Junior Temple Master to write down the prescription.”

“Not to hurry, after treating the twitches, your organ imbalance still needs to be addressed, and then there’s the chest pain and oppression you mentioned earlier. Does it cause pain in both breasts?” Qin Liuxi asked further.

Mrs. Bai blushed and nodded slightly.

Qin Liuxi thought for a moment and then said, “Please come to the inner room, I’ll examine you.”

“Ah?” Mrs. Bai was somewhat startled, unsure how the examination would proceed.

Qin Liuxi instructed Teng Zhao to step outside, “Try writing down the prescription I just mentioned and think it over.”

Teng Zhao nodded and walked out.

Qin Liuxi then took Mrs. Bai into the inner room. Now, it would have been possible to bring Wang Chuan along, but given her young age, she could only watch from the side and accumulate experience in case management.

Mrs. Bai did not expect that Qin Liuxi’s examination would be conducted this way. Even though they were both women, she still felt extremely embarrassed when Qin Liuxi’s hands pressed on both sides of her breasts.

“Granny, you didn’t breastfeed after giving birth, right?”

Mrs. Bai was startled and nodded, saying, “In families like ours, unlike farm families who breastfeed their children themselves, we always prepare a wet nurse early on, so…”

“In fact, a mother’s initial milk is excellent for both mother and child. Of course, some women are not suitable for breastfeeding, and there’s nothing that can be done about it, especially those with a weak body. Like you, mentioning breast pain – it’s due to blockages in the breast meridians forming lumps, which cause the pain.”

As she spoke, she pressed on the lump.

Mrs. Bai cried out in pain.

Qin Liuxi then continued, “Women’s ailments are difficult to speak of, hence you also feel shy and reluctant to explain to male doctors, let alone be examined. As a result, they can’t tailor their prescriptions well, leading the illness to worsen, and you can only lament and feel distressed.”

A wave of sorrow washed over Mrs. Bai, who said, “If only there were more female doctors like the Junior Temple Master in the world, it would indeed be a blessing for us women.”

Her eyes turned to the small figure of Wang Chuan, saying, “You girl, take a look too. You might well carry on your master’s aspiration in the future.”

Wang Chuan’s eyes widened as she looked at Qin Liuxi, and seeing her nod, she stepped forward and gently pressed on the same few spots to feel the difference.

She let go and looked down at her own small frame, wondering if she too would have a protruding chest like Granny in the future.

Wang Chuan glanced again at Qin Liuxi. Comparing them, perhaps being like her master wouldn’t be too bad.

Qin Liuxi’s face darkened, and she flicked Wang Chuan’s forehead: “Listen carefully, in the future, you can specialize in women’s diseases.”

Wang Chuan grinned and nodded.

Qin Liuxi asked Bai Family’s lady a few more questions, and instead of hurrying to get dressed, she simply administered acupuncture to adjust her condition. The prescriptions had already formed in her mind.

An hour later.

Qin Liuxi wrote two prescriptions: the first for treating spasms and the second for women’s ailments. Additionally, she promised to stay in the mansion for three days to administer acupuncture, dispel wind and cold, and adjust the internal organs.

Seeing the invigorated and rosy complexion of her daughter-in-law after the acupuncture, Mrs. Wei knew she must not miss this opportunity and generously asked Qin Liuxi to check her pulse and examine her health.

Being accustomed to luxury and daily nourishment, her body was well maintained with regular visits from the house doctor for the Peace Pulse. The only minor issues were cold dampness accumulated in her body from previous travels with her husband, but these could be resolved with acupuncture.

As for the Peace Formula, Qin Liuxi prescribed only two doses, instead opting to give her a medicinal diet prescription.

Once the Daoist doctor made a move, one could tell the quality. No matter how much Lu Xun praised Qin Liuxi’s medical skills, it wasn’t the same as experiencing it firsthand. The apparent physical change induced by just one session of acupuncture was enough for Mrs. Wei and others to treat Qin Liuxi as an honored guest.

Who doesn’t have their moments of illness and discomfort? Befriending a skilled Divine Doctor is entirely beneficial.

Seeing the unending praises from Mrs. Wei and Lu Xun, Governor Wei also grew curious about Qin Liuxi and even took time out in the evening to dine with her along with Lu Xun’s son.

A Fengjiang Envoy dining with a little Taoist from a Daoist Temple—such an honor could indeed make others jealous.

But Qin Liuxi was unfazed. The Fengjiang Envoy was no big deal; she had even shared tea with the First-rank Prime Minister.

The Wei Family was overjoyed by the Divine Doctor’s treatments for the Bai family, whereas the neighboring Princess Rong’an’s Mansion was shrouded in gloom because the Commandery Princess’ daughter, Mu Shiyun, appeared haggard and behaved strangely these days, as if possessed by something evil.

The Mu Family dared not publicize it, particularly because Miss Mu was already set for the palace draft. If word got out that she was afflicted by evil harm to her body, what future would she have?

Even more so, the matters concerning her were too shameful to speak of.

In the guest quarters of the Mu Residence.

A master and apprentice were indulging in a feast, their faces glistening with grease.

“What a shame for such a fine table of meat; if only we had a pot of wine to perfect it,” said the old Taoist with sparse gray hair and a lean figure, smacking his lips with a tone of regret.

Beside him, a gaunt fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy with a sallow face said, “Having food to eat is good enough; you still want wine? We’ve got duties to do later. Once we earn some incense money, I’ll buy you a small jar of ordinary wine.”

The old Taoist looked sheepish.

The youth frowned and said, “Are you confident? You must give it your all, even if…” He glanced outside and lowered his voice, “even if we’re outmatched, you need to put on a good show of just falling short.”

The old Taoist glared: “Don’t underestimate your master; I do have real skills.”

The youth scoffed, “If that were true, would our temple still be so shabby, without even a visitor to offer incense? I was fooled by you into thinking you had real skills, which is why I followed you up the mountain to attain enlightenment. You even lied about being a descendant of the Eternal Sect; you’re nothing but a charlatan…hmph.”

The old Taoist quickly covered the boy’s mouth, looking nervously outside, and scolded in a low voice, “Are you mad? Do you realize where we are? What big truths are you spouting here? I just haven’t fully awakened my potential yet. If I had, neither God nor Ghost would dare approach!”

The boy pulled his hand away with a huff: “Over fifty years old and still not awakened? You’re fooling ghosts!”

The old Taoist’s face darkened; this damned kid, showing no respect for his teacher.

Just as he was about to lecture him, a servant’s voice came from outside: “Taoist, have you finished eating?”
