Bupleurum Decoction with Dragon Bone and Oyster Shell

"Huh? What method did you use? How did my daughter fall asleep so suddenly? Ah!"

Seeing that his daughter had fallen asleep, Han Jinkai suddenly shoved Su Ziyang hard.

They started searching Su Ziyang's body, and after a while, they found nothing except a Su Ziyang card and a set of keys.

"Brother, what are you doing!"

Han Xixi nudged her older brother.

"Did that kid give Xuanxuan sleeping pills? Or some kind of tranquilizer? How could Xuanxuan suddenly fall asleep so quickly?!"

Han Jinkai shouted excitedly.

"Brother, are you crazy!" Han Xixi shouted. "Xuanxuan is in my arms, how can you say that? I'm her aunt. Doctor Su used that kind of thing on her, how could I not see it?"

Upon hearing his sister's words, Han Jinkai's anger subsided somewhat.

However, he still picked up the sleeping Xuanxuan and carefully examined the spot where Su Ziyang had just pinched her. He breathed a sigh of relief only after finding nothing abnormal.

After calming down, Han Jinkai looked at Su Ziyang, who was standing to the side with a half-smile, and suddenly realized that he had indeed gone too far. However, Han Jinkai was wealthy and influential in society and would not easily bow his head to others, so he said to Su Ziyang, "I was just in a hurry!"

Before Han Jinkai could finish speaking, Su Ziyang waved his hand. "I understand your love for your daughter. But don't worry, I'm a licensed doctor, not some quack, so I would never use the methods you were just worried about."

"Now, I'll tell you what to do!"

Su Ziyang didn't give anyone else a chance to speak, and began to explain to the people present, "First, your daughter's tongue coating is white and the tip is red. This is called excessive heart fire. The person is hot-tempered and has excess energy. But the white tongue coating is because of cold!"

"Your daughter's illness was caused by cold. I suspect that for a child this age, she ate a lot of ice cream, which is too cold. This caused constipation, and although her bowel movements improved after treatment at a Western hospital, she soon started experiencing difficulty concentrating, nightmares, frequent awakenings, poor sleep, loss of appetite, fear, timidity, and involuntary body movements!"

"Then the child gradually became hyperactive, energetic, and had extraordinary physical strength, but she didn't eat or sleep. She wasn't hungry or tired, which eventually led to her becoming thin. Unlike normal children, her behavior was exaggerated and strange."

After Su Ziyang finished speaking, Han Jinkai and Han Jinkai wife, who were holding the child, were both stunned.

Because Su Ziyang's words were exactly the same, it was as if Su Ziyang had taken care of his family's children, as if he had seen them all before, as if he were a person who had personally experienced Xuanxuan's illness.

Han Jinkai paused for a moment, then looked at Han Xixi beside him, his eyes clearly conveying the message: "Did you tell these things to others?"

However, Han Xixi gently shook her head, indicating that she did not.

Only then did Han Jinkai realize that the young man in his twenties in front of him seemed to be a true master.

"Doctor Su! I was very rude just now. I didn't recognize your Taishan and judged you by your appearance. Please don't take it to heart!"

Han Jinkai, whose attitude had been so firm just moments before, instantly changed his expression. He stood up and invited Su Ziyang to the sofa.

Su Ziyang didn't stand on ceremony with Han Jinkai and sat down on the sofa without any hesitation.

"Doctor Su, what method did you just use? To be honest, there are security cameras in my daughter's room. She hasn't slept for three days. How could you make her fall asleep just by pinching and pressing her hand?"

Han Jinkai is now extremely enthusiastic about Su Ziyang and finds Su Ziyang's methods very amazing.

"Keep your voice down, you're waking the girl!"

Han Jinkai's wife gently scolded her husband, then picked up Xuanxuan and went upstairs.

Han Jinkai's fiery enthusiasm, Han Jinkai wife's departure—now, in the living room, there's someone extremely embarrassed: Yan Zhijie, the very person who just put on such a great performance, Master Yan...

Han Jinkai ignored Master Yan, Master Yan was now awkwardly scratching his head, unsure whether to stand or sit.

"I won't reveal my method for now; let me see if certain people keep their promises." Su Ziyang smiled and looked at Master Yan, who was scratching his head.

Master Yan!

Su Ziyang called out in a cheeky tone.

"This... this... that!"

Master Yan's face turned bright red, and he stammered, unable to utter a word.

He just said he was going to crawl back home, and now, in front of all these people, if he really does crawl back, he shouldn't be living in this area anymore.

"Alright, alright! Stop holding it in. Do you think I'd really let you crawl? You're almost as old as my dad. I know you have divine protection, but some illnesses really do require medicine!"

Han Jinkai didn't quite understand Su Ziyang's words, but Master Yan's eyes widened suddenly. He put away his folding fan and respectfully clasped his hands in a fist salute to Su Ziyang: "My name is Yan Zhijie. I was blind and didn't know you were a senior. I spoke arrogantly just now. I was wrong! Please forgive me, senior! Also, please tell me your title, don't make fun of me!"

Han Jinkai was so shocked by Master Yan's sudden change in attitude that his mouth almost fell into his teacup.

"Alright, alright. What senior? I don't have any special title. I'm just an ordinary traditional Chinese medicine doctor. It's not worth making you act like this!"

Su Ziyang waved his hand and said very casually.

But Master Yan became even more frightened, bowing even lower. "Then you still haven't forgiven me. Please forgive me, young senior!"

"Alright. Master Yan, I really don't belong in your line of work."

Su Ziyang spoke very sincerely. Master Yan stared at Su Ziyang for a long time and realized that Su Ziyang didn't seem to be lying, so he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Master Yan Zhijie was so afraid of Su Ziyang because Su Ziyang had said something that proved true: that he was protected by immortals. The fact that his methods had been seen through meant that the other party's cultivation was far superior to his own, which made Yan Zhijie afraid.

However, Su Ziyang didn't actually know what immortals were. Su Ziyang had only heard Mr. Mengfei briefly mention that there were people in this world who could reach an agreement with immortals who had cultivated themselves through various practices. Once the agreement was reached, this person would have the ability to divine good and bad fortune, and even prescribe medicine.

The immortals are believed to accumulate merit and receive offerings through their representatives on earth, thereby advancing their spiritual practice. In return, these representatives are able to acquire a certain amount of wealth.

Su Ziyang had never met such a person, only heard of them. But just now, when Master Yan was making a prediction for Han Xixi with his eyes closed, Su Ziyang saw a strange aura, so Su Ziyang guessed that this might be the spirit that Mr. Mengfei had told him about.

Master Yan might be the one who reached an agreement with the immortals. That's why Su Ziyang said those things just now, and that's the main reason for Master Yan's drastic change in attitude.

"Let me explain. You don't need to belittle Master Yan. Master Yan is indeed capable; it's just that he may not be as proficient in the field of metaphysics as he is in treating illnesses."

Su Ziyang's words added a touch of shame to Master Yan's face. He had just been so arrogant, but now the other man was speaking well of him to his employer. That was truly a high level of respect.

"Master Yan, please have a seat!"

Upon hearing Su Ziyang's words, Han Jinkai invited Master Yan to take a seat.

"Senior Su, since you won't reveal your master's name or title, I'll call you that from now on. What methods did you use to put Xuanxuan to sleep just now? And how did you know the cause of Xuanxuan's previous illness?"

Master Yan dared not be presumptuous again and asked Su Ziyang for advice in a gentle tone.

Are you one of them?

Master Yan pointed to the top of his head, his meaning clear: he was asking Su Ziyang if he also had a spirit above his head.

Su Ziyang smiled and shook his head, "I rely on the four diagnostic methods of traditional Chinese medicine: observation, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation!"

"Doctor Su, you only looked at our Xuanxuan and you came up with so much information? We've seen traditional Chinese medicine practitioners before, but this is the first time I've encountered someone as knowledgeable as you! Could you tell us about it?"

In an instant, Su Ziyang went from being ignored to becoming the focus of the room, with everyone looking at Su Ziyang expectantly.

"Actually, there's nothing wrong with talking about it. I've already explained it. My analysis is mainly based on Xuanxuan's tongue coating, which I've already explained. As for Xuanxuan's medical history, I deduced it from her symptoms! This involves many medical principles, which I'm afraid cannot be explained in just a few words."

As soon as Su Ziyang finished speaking, Han Jinkai smiled and said, "Yes, yes, Doctor Su is right. We don't understand traditional Chinese medicine either, and we're afraid we wouldn't understand if he explained it too technically. Doctor Su, could you tell us what technique you used just now? We knew Xuanxuan hadn't slept for three days! We've been trying to find a way to get her to sleep, but the effect hasn't been very noticeable. In fact, Xuanxuan has started to be afraid of us."

"Of course you could say that; there's nothing mysterious about it. I'm using the Eight Methods of Flying and Soaring from acupuncture."

Su Ziyang felt there was nothing to hide. Deliberately concealing one's medical skills would only make one seem mysterious and would serve no other purpose.

"The Eight Methods of Flying and Soaring?!"

Master Yan exclaimed in great surprise.

"Are you referring to the acupuncture method related to the principles of Qimen Dunjia, which involves selecting different acupoints based on different times and days?"

You could say that!

Su Ziyang spoke softly, indicating his agreement with what Master Yan had said.

"Wow, I've really learned something today! I've met a master. There aren't many people who know this acupuncture technique these days. My apologies for not recognizing you!"

Master Yan once again held his folding fan and bowed to Su Ziyang with clasped hands.

Seeing Master Yan's attitude towards Su Ziyang, Han Jinkai was even happier, knowing that he had truly met a master today.

"Doctor Su, may I ask you another question?"

Han Jinkai's words took a complete 180-degree turn, which Su Ziyang also found interesting. He didn't say anything more, but simply nodded, indicating that Han Jinkai could speak freely.

"I'm still quite worried about my daughter's condition. Since you solved the problem today with your amazing acupuncture techniques, can it be resolved in one go? Or will we need a few more treatments? Should we go to your clinic to find you then, or should I ask you to come again?"

Han Jinkai's constant use of the polite "you" made Su Ziyang feel a little embarrassed.

"Saying it will solve the problem all at once might be a bit of an exaggeration. However, further treatment is unnecessary. I'll prescribe some medicine for Xuanxuan, and after she wakes up, she can drink a few doses of the herbal decoction. She'll naturally be fine!"

Su Ziyang vividly remembered that Yang Tianzheng had taught him the Eight Methods of Flying and Soaring. The first time he used it, the effect was amazing, but the effect was much worse when he used it again for treatment.

Therefore, Su Ziyang still turned to Xuanxuan's illness and focused on his area of expertise: prescribing medicine.

"Ah! Quickly, please come to the study. Bring me pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. Please, Doctor Su, write the prescription!"

Han Jinkai quickly got up and led Su Ziyang and Master Yan towards the study.

Su Ziyang has written quite a few prescriptions, but sitting behind a huge desk today, writing prescriptions with a brush, still Su Ziyang a little nervous.

"Doctor Su, please!"

Han Jinkai saw Su Ziyang holding the calligraphy brush, looking somewhat dazed, and then softly said "please" again from the side.

Su Ziyang didn't speak. He pondered the prescription he had already prepared in his mind and wrote it down.

Bupleurum 20

Dragon Bone 10

Scutellaria baicalensis 10

10g of ginger

Ginseng 10

10 cinnamon twigs

Poria 10

Pinellia 12

rhubarb 10

10 oysters

4 jujubes

5th row.

Su Ziyang's calligraphy skills mainly come from the rigorous training he received from Daoist Jin and Mr. Mengfei.

So it's not shameful for me to pick up a calligraphy brush today. My writing is decent, neither good nor bad.

However, since Su Ziyang was already considered a miracle doctor by Han Jinkai, Su Ziyang naturally held Han Jinkai's handwriting in higher regard.

"Doctor Su has beautiful handwriting!"

Han Jinkai looked at the prescription Su Ziyang had written on the Xuan paper and praised it highly.

Master Yan kept praising him, making Su Ziyang even more embarrassed.

"No, no. It's just a casual thank you. I didn't write any units on it; all the quantities are in grams. Xuanxuan will be fine after taking this medicine. If you need anything, just have Han Xixi contact me!"

Han Jinkai glanced at Su Ziyang's prescription and nodded repeatedly in agreement.

The prescription given by Su Ziyang is from the Treatise on Cold Damage and Miscellaneous Diseases, and is called Bupleurum Decoction with Dragon Bone and Oyster Shell).

The book "Treatise on Cold Damage and Miscellaneous Diseases" mainly treats symptoms such as restlessness, fear, restricted body movement, and heaviness in the body caused by mistreatment of typhoid fever.

However, current research has found that this formula is very effective in treating ADHD, sympathetic nerve excitation, epilepsy, and some functional disorders for which no cause can be found, as well as some symptoms such as possession.

After writing the prescription, Su Ziyang checked his phone and realized it was almost time for his afternoon shift, so he didn't linger and left immediately.

Meanwhile, Master Yan, after experiencing Su Ziyang's skills firsthand, refused to leave and insisted on following Su Ziyang back to the clinic.

Helpless, Su Ziyang could only let Master Yan take him to the clinic.
