Another Consultation: Dongling Nasopharyngeal Decoction
Su Ziyang secretly selected a few Chinese medicines, wrote them down, and then went home from work.
The next morning, as soon as the clinic opened, Su Ziyang heard Jin Tiantian's mesmerizing voice.
"Big brother, we're here..."
Jin Tiantian clung to the door frame, peeking out with her big head, grinning at Su Ziyang.
"Come in! What are you looking at while peering through the doorframe?" Su Ziyang felt a strange sense of amusement every time he saw Jin Tiantian.
As soon as Jin Tiantian entered the room, Jin Yizhi followed her in. Su Ziyang took a closer look and noticed that Jin Yizhi's complexion had improved considerably, a significant change from the lifeless look he had seen last time.
Although his complexion remained dark, a faint but distinct vitality emanated from his brows.
When Jin Yizhi came last time, although he appeared calm, there was no joy on his face.
Jin Yizhi smiled as soon as he entered.
"Doctor Su, after taking your medicine for three days, I feel much cooler in my throat, and my eating and drinking have improved significantly. Most importantly, I can breathe much more comfortably now, and I can even lie flat to sleep!"
Before Su Ziyang could ask any questions, Jin Yizhi explained his condition clearly.
"It seems to be working well!" Su Ziyang nodded with a smile, gesturing for Jin Yizhi to extend his hand so he could take his pulse again.
Su Ziyang placed his fingers on the patient's pulse carefully.
As expected, the effects of Pinellia and Magnolia Bark Decoction were extremely powerful, and the pulse, which originally showed signs of qi stagnation, was completely changed.
The pulse at the cun, guan, and chi positions has undergone significant changes; the guan and chi pulses are no longer as difficult to feel or locate as before.
The three pulses became stronger, and the overall pulse pattern even began to resemble the strings of a musical instrument.
"Uncle, I feel your condition has improved somewhat, and your pulse has also improved. So I'm changing your prescription this time. I suggest you take this prescription for a period of time, so I'm prescribing 14 doses for you. What do you think?"
Even though his condition had improved considerably, Su Ziyang remained humble, discussing things with Jin Yizhi.
"Okay, okay, we'll do it your way. You make the decision. We'll listen to you!"
Dying is not difficult; going to die is.
Can anyone say they are not afraid of death? Probably everyone is. Jin Yizhi's previous composure arose from his helplessness in the face of life's hardships.
Now, Su Ziyang's prescription has become a powerful force that has cleared away the dark clouds hanging over Jin Yizhi's head, and Jin Yizhi now has unconditional trust in Su Ziyang.
"Alright, Uncle, then I'll write you a prescription!"
Su Ziyang turned on the computer system and entered the prescription he had thought of before. Su Ziyang named it Dongling Nasopharyngeal Decoction.

"Uncle, this medicine has a slightly special usage, so I need to explain it to you. Although it's supposed to be 14 doses, it won't be finished in 14 days. You need to take two doses each day, one after breakfast and one after dinner. It will take a total of 7 days to finish."
After writing the prescription, Su Ziyang gave specific instructions.
"Okay, okay! I understand, I understand!" Jin Yizhi nodded repeatedly.
"Also, if there are any special issues, Jin Tiantian has my contact information; just have her contact me!"
"Alright, alright!" Jin Yizhi nodded again.
After writing the prescription, Jin Tiantian stared at Su Ziyang with wide eyes.
"Big pot..."
Jin Tiantian looked at Su Ziyang with a pitiful expression, which confused Su Ziyang: "What's wrong, Heroine Jin?"
"Where's that prescription you mentioned last time? I'm still on a diet." Jin Tiantian said, one hand behind her back and the other outstretched in front of Su Ziyang, like a kindergarten child.
"Hold head high..."
Su Ziyang hadn't expected Jin Tiantian to have such a good memory, so good that it caught Su Ziyang off guard.
"How about this, I'll make it for you, and then I'll deliver it to you, okay?" Su Ziyang came up with another delaying tactic to stall Jin Tiantian.
Hearing Su Ziyang's words, her big eyes instantly curved into crescent moons again. "Okay, it's a deal. Thank you, big brother!"
Su Ziyang nodded, then said in a mysterious tone, "This pill is extremely energy-intensive. It takes a long time to make. I'll give it to you once it's finished, but you must remember, don't ask about it unless I contact you. If you do, it won't work!"
"Okay!" Jin Tiantian squinted and nodded vigorously.
When Jin Yizhi saw that his niece's adolescent delusions had resurfaced, he immediately pulled her away.
Ten minutes later, a girl dressed in Hanfu stood in front of Su Ziyang with her hands on her hips. "What's your relationship with that chubby girl? Why are you flirting like that!"
"Huh..." Su Ziyang stared blankly at Fairy Li eyes were wide open.
"Hold head high..."
Su Ziyang hesitated for a moment, but still didn't say anything.
"I met her on the train. Her uncle has cancer, and she came to me for treatment! It's true!"
Su Ziyang explained.
"Real?"
"Really!" Su Ziyang pointed to the computer. "Look, I just downloaded the prescription!"
Without even glancing at the computer, Fairy Li pouted, put her hands behind her back, and sat down on the massage bed in the room.
Just when Su Ziyang was at a loss for what to do, a savior appeared at the door.
"Master, what brings you here?" Su Ziyang sat up abruptly from the stool, displaying unprecedented enthusiasm.
Old people are shrewd, and old horses are cunning.
The moment Mr. Mengfei entered the room, he sensed something was off. He glanced sideways and saw Fairy Li pouting with a mouth so small it could hold an oil bottle.
"You all go ahead with your work, I'll be back in a bit!" Mr. Mengfei turned to leave.
"Master, Master, Master! No rush, no rush, what's the matter? Come in quickly and tell me." Su Ziyang quickly grabbed Mr. Mengfei 'Mr. Mengfei arm and pulled him into the house.
"You're really alright!"
Mr. Mengfei was speaking to Su Ziyang, but his eyes were fixed on Fairy Li.
"Snort!"
Fairy Li stood up from the massage bed, stomped her embroidered boots on the ground, and turned to leave.
"You're not getting any younger. This beautiful woman is throwing herself at you, how come you don't like her? And you even make her angry?" Mr. Mengfei patted Su Ziyang on the shoulder, his eyes full of meaning.
"Master, she... she's a Daoist priest." Su Ziyang scratched his head, a little embarrassed, and said.
"How about returning to secular life?" Mr. Mengfei looked at Su Ziyang helplessly.
"Alright, alright... let's not talk about this anymore. What do you think of the prescription I wrote?" Su Ziyang quickly changed the subject, pointing to the prescription written in the medical record book.
I can't be bothered with you!
Mr. Mengfei picked up his notebook and began to carefully examine the prescription.
