Together With the System to Become a Pharmacist at Once a Doctor
Chapter 148: Seven Star Potion Cupboard and Sanyang Powder

The next day, Li Maoshuang came to the village with two sets of ancient potion cabinets.

The car stopped at the foot of Nanshan hill. Wang Yao descended from the top of the hill after receiving a call from Li Maoshuang. He immediately saw the ancient potion cabinet.

The closet looks radiant. They shine not because they are new, on the contrary, they are quite old. The light is from various uses and infiltrations by plants. The closet is marked by time. The wood used to make the cabinets has a clear line, which looks very nice.

The cabinets are built according to the ancient design. They have top, bottom, left, right, horizontal, and vertical drawers—total, seven drawers. Hence, they were called seven-star potion cabinets.

“What do you think of them?” ask Li Maoshuang.

“Very good!” Wang Yao fell in love with the closet at first sight.

“Good, let's take it up the hill,” said Li Maoshuang.

“Thank you, but I can do it myself,” Wang Yao said with a smile.

“What?” Li Maoshuang was surprised.

Li Maoshuang amazingly watched Wang Yao carry one of the cabinets and walk uphill. After a while, Wang Yao returned to take the others. It took two trips to move the closet to the hill.

“What makes you so strong!” li Maoshuang said wonderfully.

Although there is nothing inside the drawer, the whole cabinet including the drawer and frame is made of solid wood, which is made of heavy North Chinese ash wood. Li Maoshuang asked three people to help him move the cabinet to his van. He would ask his friends to help move the closet if he did not worry about bothering Wang Yao. He had not expected Wang Yao to be able to do everything alone.

“I exercise a lot. What is antique cabinet?” asked Wang Yao.

“Yes, it's very old. I asked one of my friends to buy it for Me from the South. The seller had ancestors who were practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine in the Qing Dynasty. Although there was no one in the family practicing medicine now, the seven-star potion cabinet had been stored. Originally, there were four sets of cabinets; two have been sold. Is what I brought here big enough for you? ” says Li Maoshuang.

“It should be big enough for now,” said Wang Yao.

There are thousands of different herbs in China, but only a fraction of them are commonly used. Two sets of cabinets can store hundreds of different herbs. So they were big enough for Wang Yao.

“How should I pay you?” asked Wang Yao.

“You don't need to pay Me; think of it as a gift,” Li Maoshuang said with a smile.

“Cannot be!” said Wang Yao. Although he did not know how exactly the two sets of cabinets were, he knew it was not cheap. The cabinet was from the Qing Dynasty, and it was an antique.

“Yeah, don't worry about the money. As long as you can treat Me when I'm not good in the future. Agreed?” li Maoshuang said with a smile.

“Deal!” Wang Yao accepted it with a smile.

Two sets of seven-star potion cabinets were placed inside the room where Wang Yao was brewing potions. They face the wall to the east.

“Are you going to open a clinic in Nanshan hill?” ask Li Maoshuang.

“No for now; I need it for my own comfort,” Wang Yao said.

He then invited Li Maoshuang to sit in his cottage and make him a cup of tea. “This is your tea,” said Wang Yao.

“Thank you. Is this the same tea I drank last time? ” ask Li Maoshuang.

“Ya,” said Wang Yao.

“The tea is very good. I brought some tea leaves that you gave to my friend a few days ago. He asked where I got it after tasting the tea. He wants me to get a few pounds of tea leaves for Me, because he hasn't drank a good tea for years!” li Maoshuang.

“Hehe.” Wang Yao simply laughed. Let alone a few pounds, to get a few grams is quite difficult.

“Well, I don't want to bother you anymore. I have to go, ” said Li Maoshuang after drinking tea. He stood up and was about to leave.

“You didn't bother me at all. How about lunch here?” w.a.n.g Yao asked while glancing at the clock. It was almost noon—lunch time.

“Thank you, but I promised my wife that I'd be home for lunch. By the way, I saw something different,” said Li Maoshuang.

“What is it?” asked Wang Yao.

“I feel different here from what I felt when I was in town,” said Li Maoshuang.

“What's the bike?” asked Wang Yao.

“Yeah, hard to say. But I feel very comfortable in Nanshan Hill. The wind was gentle; I could breathe smoothly here. Anyway, much better here. I had the same feeling when I was at Wudang Mountain,” Li Maoshuang said.

“Really? Maybe because the air above the hill is much fresher,” Wang Yao said. In fact, Wang Yao was unaware that his battle array was starting to have an impact on people. Li Maoshuang was not the only one who had that feeling. He realized it because he was sensitive to change.

“Maybe. But I did not have the same feeling when I was in Changqing hill and Jiulian hill nearby,” Li Maoshuang said.

“You can visit me often if you like the atmosphere here,” Wang Yao said.

“Sure. I really have to leave now,” said Li Maoshuang.

Wang Yao and Li Maoshuang left the Nanshan hill together. Wang Yao returned to Nanshan Hill after a simple lunch at home. He started arranging herbs in the potion cabinet.

The rules of how to store herbs in the herbal medicine cabinet are very strict. Some people store herbs depending on the type, for example roots, stems, leaves, stones, insects, and grasses should be stored separately. Some people store herbs depending on the use of herbs, while some rely on a list of combinations for different formulas.

Wang Yao was in no hurry to arrange the potion. He checked the drawers one by one to see if there was anything wrong with the cabinets. He had to say that the ancient Chinese people made things in a unique way. The cupboard is not only good, but also sturdy and practical. No damage by pests, corrosion and mold. The only smell that Wang Yao could feel was from the herbs.

Wang Yao then categorized all the herbs he had and made labels in the drawers. After he wrote all the potions and finished the arrangements, it was already dark. Another day has passed.

Ha, time passes very quickly!

…

Inside a household in downtown Lianshan, several people gathered.

“I took Mom to see a practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Let's wait and see a few more days. After all, she has not been drinking herbs for too long, ” said a middle-aged woman. But he actually began to change his opinion of Wang Yao from skepticism to admiration.

I didn't expect the young doctor to have such outstanding medical skills! thought the middle-aged woman.

“Kak, what dosage does the doctor prescribe for Mom?” ask the young man.

“Only one dose to see if it will work,” said the middle-aged woman.

“Only one dose? No way! A treatment consisting of herbs should be at least ten doses. You should ask the doctor to prescribe more for Mom, ” said the young man.

“There is no need to rush; it may take days to see the effect, and also just in case there are any side effects from the decoction!” said the middle-aged woman.

“Okay, let's wait a few more days. But Mom does look a lot better,” said the young man.

“Yes, and the doctor said that we should take Mom out more often. I plan to take her to the beach park tomorrow, ” said the middle-aged woman.

“That sounds good. Thank you for spending so much time with Mom,” said the young man.

“It's okay. Another thing, I think we should take turns taking Mom for a walk after she recovers completely. We have to take him to see different parts of the country! ” said the middle-aged woman.

“Sure, I totally agree with you!” said the young man.

“Good!” said the middle-aged woman.

This is a family gathering. The topic of the meeting was the old woman sleeping inside her room. The meeting wasn't over until 9 p.m. Then, the woman's son left. The middle-aged woman and her husband were still in the living room. The middle-aged woman was Guo who brought her mother to meet Wang Yao at Renhe's clinic the other day.

“You're done talking to your brother, Comrade Guo?” Guo's husband brought her a glass of warm water and said, “Drink water. I guess you're tired and thirsty after talking so much.”

“Thank you. I didn't expect the herbs to work so well. The doctor was very young and capable!” said Ms. Guo.

“Didn't you initially not believe him?” her husband said with a smile.

“Well, he's too young to see a patient. Would you believe him if you were Me? But luckily, I didn't say anything too bad to upset her,” Guo said.

“Let's wait another two days to see if your mother is cured,” husband Guo's advice.

“Sure,” says Ms. Guo.

The next day, at about 10am, suddenly a crackling sound was heard in the quiet village. The village suddenly became noisy. The machine processing plant, which was set up inside the old warehouse of the village production team, had prepared all the equipment and opened today.

The crackling sound lasted all morning. Then, the engine is turned on, making a continuous roaring sound.

The workers at the factory were all employed from nearby villages, except for two team leaders. The total number of employees is twelve. What they processed at the factory was some iron fixtures.

Is the factory open? It seems pretty busy today in the village! Wang Yao had guessed what was happening in the village after hearing the crackling sound from Nanshan hill.

“Factory in the village opened today,” said Zhang Xiuying. Wang Yao and his family talked about the factory at lunch again.

“How many workers are in factory?” asked Wang Yao.

“Not much. I heard there were only a few people. They only hired a few people from our village,” Zhang Xiuying said.

“They do machine processing?” asked Wang Yao.

“Ya, I heard it is related to vehicle parts,” Zhang Xiuying said.

Wang Yao did not ask anymore.

He returned to Nanshan Hill after dinner. He has to do a lot of things. Tian Yuantu called her in the morning but did not say why exactly he called. Wang Yao guessed the reason he called was because of Secretary Yang's mother.

Mother Secretary Yang has symptoms caused by Yang deficiency.

Although Regather's soup was delicious, it wouldn't cure Secretary Yang's mother completely. It will only relieve symptoms temporarily and delay the progression of the disease. Wang Yao had some thoughts on how to treat Yang's flaws. He needed to use herbs with extreme Yang properties.

The method Wang Yao had thought of had appeared in Kung Fu novels such as the Heaven Sword and Dragon Sword. In the novel, the hero Zhang Wuji suffers from the extreme Yin poisoning of Xuanmingshen-Zhang, which cannot be cured by any external force. Only an extreme amount of Yang and the powerful Nine Yang Magic could remove the poison.

There was one herb with extreme Yang properties, and Wang Yao had it in her herbal field.

The herb is called Dangyang flower. It was actually a kind of flower, which was red like fire from the sun, and could increase the Yang inside the body. Given the nature of the Dangyang flower, it falls into the category of Yang energy. Dangyang flower function is simple: increase Yang.

Its function is simplicity and directness.

I can try and use it.

Wang Yao drew a circle around the Dangyang flower in his notebook.

Although Wang Yao planted the Dangyang flower in his herb field, it grew very slowly due to the lack of nimbus. Although Wang Yao could put his leaves into the decoction, the leaves would be much less effective than the flowers.

The dangyang flower could not work on its own; it required other herbs to support it. The decoction should not only increase the Yang energy in the body but also restore the body.

Let me check if there are any suitable herbal formulas available at the herbal store.

Wang Yao opened the system and took a close look. He soon found a suitable formula called Sanyang powder. The function of Sanyang powder is a simple sentence: Improve Yang and get rid of cold crimes.
