The Leopard Fetus Tendon-Altering Pill Incident

Mr. Mengfei's "doting" on Su Ziyang made Daoist Jin jealous, so Daoist Jin made Su Ziyang memorize his lessons even more diligently every day.

What Su Ziyang really wanted to say was... his masters didn't need to love him so much.

Jin Yizhi, who was supposed to come for a follow-up appointment a week later, arrived in front of Su Ziyang four days late.

Su Ziyang watched as Jin Yizhi entered from outside the door, and his heart, which had been pounding with anxiety, finally settled down. At a glance, he saw that the deathly aura on Jin Yizhi's forehead had completely dissipated.

The dark complexion caused by radiation therapy has improved significantly, and my overall complexion has become brighter.

"Doctor Su, I'm so sorry. I was supposed to come a few days ago, but something came up at home and I was delayed. I feel much better now, thank you for your medical skills!"

Jin Yizhi's voice was much louder as he entered the room, offering thanks and apologies.

Jin Tiantian followed behind Jin Yizhi, pouting, "Tch... If you're going to the hospital for a checkup secretly, just say you went for a checkup. You don't believe that 'hero' is a miracle worker. He can crush an apple with his bare hands. I told you, he can tell whether you went for a checkup or not at a glance. So annoying!"

As soon as Jin Tiantian spoke, Jin Yizhi looked somewhat embarrassed. "Hehe, Doctor Su. After taking your medicine, I felt much better, so I went to the hospital for a checkup. The cancer cells are only a tiny bit left. Sigh, it's a long story. The two patients who shared a ward with me passed away one after the other last week. I was actually thinking of recommending them to you for treatment!"

"Ah..."

Su Ziyang nodded. After prescribing the medicine, he did tell Jin Yizhi that he didn't need to go to the hospital for a check-up for a month or two, and that a decision would be made after he had taken several courses of traditional Chinese medicine.

There was a reason for doing this. Su Ziyang was afraid that once Jin Yizhi's condition improved, the hospital would persuade him to undergo chemotherapy and radiotherapy again, and then things would be much more difficult to predict how to treat him...

"It's alright, it's alright. Getting checked out is good too; it strengthens their confidence in taking traditional Chinese medicine, which is really helpful!" That was all Su Ziyang could say, since the person had already been checked, and there was no point in saying anything more.

Su Ziyang didn't say anything, but Jin Tiantian kept stabbing Jin Yizhi in the back, making him feel very Freedom.

"Tch~ Uncle, you saw it, you were right to listen to the hero! You even secretly went to check. Honestly."

Jin Yizhi is Jin Tiantian's elder, but Jin Tiantian is adorably naive and straightforward with no ulterior motives. Most importantly, Jin Tiantian has a good income and provides Jin Yizhi with a lot of financial assistance.

So no matter what Jin Tiantian said, Jin Yizhi could only smile awkwardly, even though this girl kept undermining him.

Since the prescription was effective, it was definitely best not to change it and continue using Dongling Nasopharyngeal Decoction. So Su Ziyang prescribed another 14 doses of medicine for Jin Yizhi, but this time it was to be taken once a day, so this time the medicine would last for half a month.

After writing the prescription, Jin Yizhi went downstairs to pay and wait in line to get his medicine.

Jin Tiantian didn't follow them downstairs, but instead squinted at Su Ziyang again. "Big Brother!"

"Understood!" Su Ziyang nodded and took a porcelain bottle out of the drawer.

This porcelain vase is exceptionally exquisite, with a celadon glaze and painted flowers on the outside; it's particularly beautiful.

"For me?" Jin Tiantian's smile widened even more.

"Yes, didn't you want Leopard Fetus Tendon-Altering Pill for weight loss? I've made them for you. Take 5 pills each time, twice a day. Don't take more!"

Su Ziyang handed the porcelain bottle to Jin Tiantian Jin Tiantian, who, like a teenager receiving a sacred object, respectfully accepted it with both hands above her head, saying, "Thank you for the medicine, Immortal Master!"

This almost made Su Ziyang burst out laughing, but he still cooperated perfectly, saying, "Now that you've obtained the elixir, cultivate diligently and refrain from wrongdoing!"

"Understood! Understood!" Jin Tiantian chuckled and put the porcelain bottle into the pink pouch she always carried with her.

"Then I shall take my leave, Immortal Master!"

Before leaving, Jin Tiantian didn't forget to put on a full act, bowing respectfully to Su Ziyang as she went downstairs.

"This child is somewhat ill..."

Su Ziyang watched Jin Tiantian leave and muttered a few words to himself.

There's no such thing as a Leopard Fetus Tendon-Altering Pill in this world; it's all made up by book authors.

But if someone writes it, someone will believe it; at least Su Ziyang saw one letter.

Jin Tiantian repeatedly asked Su Ziyang for this medicine, and Su Ziyang really had no choice. He couldn't very well tell her, "Child, there is no Ultraman in this world, you don't need to believe in light anymore."

Whether Jin Tiantian can accept it is one thing, but the most important thing is that if Su Ziyang says there is no such medicine, she will definitely think that Su Ziyang is lying to her, and then the hero will break his promise in front of the chuunibyou girl.

Okay, Su Ziyang was actually a bit too influenced by the role. "One who stays near vermilion gets stained red, and one who stays near ink gets stained black," and being around such people turned him into a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur).

In order to deceive Jin Tiantian, Su Ziyang did a simple face diagnosis based on the complexion of Jin Tiantian he had seen several times. He roughly determined Jin Tiantian's constitution and then bought a box of traditional Chinese medicine - Baohe Pill.

It would be a bit awkward to give Baohe Pill directly to Jin Tiantian, and it wouldn't make sense to say it was Leopard Fetus Tendon-Altering Pill, so Su Ziyang poured a box of Baohe Pill into a porcelain bottle to disguise it.

Jin Tiantian, aside from being chubby, is indeed cute and pretty. She has a round face, big eyes with double eyelids, and fair skin. At first glance, she looks like a little toy doll.

On the train, Su Ziyang witnessed Jin Tiantian's appetite. Based on the fact that Jin Tiantian's flesh was soft all over, Su Ziyang felt that her obesity was likely due to some phlegm and dampness stagnation in her body, coupled with her love of snacking, so this was very likely the case.

Thinking about this, Su Ziyang came up with a formula called Baohe Pill.

The mnemonic verse for Baohe Pill goes like this:

Baohe Divine Comedy and Hawthorn,

Add Lingxia, Chenqiao, and radish seeds.

The glutinous rice paste was made into pills and taken with wheat soup.

Malt can also be used in this prescription.

Adding Atractylodes macrocephala to Da'an Pill,

Its combined effect of eliminating stagnation and replenishing is truly remarkable.

Baohe Pill are recorded in many medical books, and their main function is to treat food stagnation.

It can relieve symptoms such as loss of appetite, lack of desire to eat, abdominal distension, abdominal pain, foul-smelling belching, vomiting of sour or rancid food, and abnormal bowel movements.

Although the treatment addresses the symptoms of indigestion, the prescription can ultimately expel phlegm and dampness. Once this stagnant pathogenic factor in the body is dissipated, weight loss will naturally occur.

In his book * Easy Reading of Established Formulas *, Zhang Bingcheng, a physician of the Qing Dynasty, stated. "This (Baohe Pill) is designed for those with food stagnation and phlegm accumulation, internal stagnation in the spleen and stomach, and whose vital energy is not yet deficient. Hawthorn, being sour and warm in nature, is good at eliminating the accumulation of fishy, greasy, and oily foods, promoting blood circulation and breaking up stagnation, and is therefore the chief ingredient. Shen Qu (medicated leaven) is made by steaming and incubation, and its pungent and warm nature can eliminate the accumulation of stale and rotten food and alcohol. Radish seed is pungent and sweet, lowers qi, and eliminates food stagnation; malt is salty and warm, eliminates food stagnation and promotes blood circulation, and these two ingredients are used as adjuvants. However, where there is a hard mass, there must be latent yang, so forsythia, bitter and cold, is used to disperse stagnation and clear heat. The accumulation of stagnation must be accompanied by phlegm stagnation, so Er Chen Tang (a traditional Chinese medicine formula) is used to resolve phlegm and promote qi circulation. Although this formula is purely for digestion and elimination, it is ultimately a mild remedy, hence the name Bao He Wan (meaning 'preserving harmony')."

This explanation was reasonable and perfect, so Su Ziyang thought of giving Jin Tiantian some Baohe Pill, since losing some weight would be good for her health.

Su Ziyang was pondering his brilliant idea when a loud shout rang out from the doorway, "You little brat, where's my snuff bottle on the table? What did you do with it?!"

Looking at the furious Daoist Jin, Su Ziyang asked innocently, "Master, what is a snuff bottle?"

Seeing Su Ziyang's expression, Daoist Jin walked over and was about to grab Su Ziyang by the collar.

Seeing that he was about to get beaten up, Su Ziyang actually showed off his Baguazhang, which allowed him to Traversing the Nine Palaces, in front of Daoist Jin. He dodged Daoist Jin's outstretched hand with a quick movement, and Daoist Jin looked at Su Ziyang with considerable surprise.

"Shout..."

There's a saying that goes, "Old ginger is spicier." Su Ziyang's successful dodge only happened once, when Daoist Jin caught him off guard. Just as Su Ziyang was about to repeat the trick, Daoist Jin's hand appeared directly where Su Ziyang was trying to dodge.

"Run!" Daoist Jin grabbed Su Ziyang's arm and pressed Su Ziyang into a chair.

"Master, I really don't know what you mean by snuff bottle." Su Ziyang was held down firmly, but he still looked at Daoist Jin with a completely innocent expression.

"It must have been you who took it, otherwise how could it be gone? You were the only one who came into my room just now! Who else could it be but you?" Daoist Jin glared at Su Ziyang and questioned him.

Su Ziyang's eyes darted around, and he said in a high-pitched voice, "Perhaps Daoist Master Xiao Yang packed up their things for you. Why don't you ask someone else?"

"Good lad, it seems you're getting a little confused about who's the king and who's the Xiao Wang if I don't teach you a lesson."

Daoist Jin stretched out two fingers and was about to pinch the large tendon under Su Ziyang's armpit. When he pinched the tendon, it was both sore and painful.

"No, no, no~ Master, Master. Please stop! I was wrong, I was wrong, I took it!"

Before Daoist Jin could make a move, Su Ziyang quickly admitted it.

"Where's the stuff? Give it to me!" Daoist Jin released Su Ziyang and dusted off his Daoist robe.

"He's been given the Leopard Fetus Tendon-Altering Pill." Su Ziyang didn't dare to look up, muttering to himself with his head down.

"What did you say?" Daoist Jin didn't quite catch it.

"They've packed Leopard Fetus Tendon-Altering Pill," Su Ziyang mumbled again.

"Speak properly! Is there something in your mouth?" Daoist Jin was about to hit Su Ziyang again when he saw that Su Ziyang was not speaking properly.

Su Ziyang quickly covered himself with his hand, afraid of being beaten. Actually, Su Ziyang knew something was wrong the moment Daoist Jin entered and shouted.

When Jin Tiantian called Su Ziyang to say she was coming to see a doctor this morning, Su Ziyang went out and bought a box of Baohe Pill. He was thinking of changing the packaging and disguising it as Leopard Fetus Tendon-Altering Pill, but he didn't have anything to put it in.

So Su Ziyang went to Daoist Jin's room to see if he could find something to put it in. As soon as he entered the room, Su Ziyang saw a small porcelain bottle on Daoist Jin's table. Su Ziyang saw that the size was just right, enough to hold a small bottle of Baohe Pill. He also saw that it was quite exquisite, which matched his pretentious temperament. So without thinking too much, he simply rinsed the small bottle, filled it with the medicine and used it.

Su Ziyang had never seen a snuff bottle before, so he didn't know what it was for. At the time, Su Ziyang was wondering why there was a strange smell coming from the porcelain bottle.

"I... I... I packed a bottle of Leopard Fetus Tendon-Altering Pill." Su Ziyang looked up at Daoist Jin, but still spoke very softly.

"What is this? Don't mess with me! Take it out now, this snuff bottle is quite nice, it's from the late Qing Dynasty. Don't break it."

Daoist Jin had several patients scheduled, so he didn't have time to chat with Su Ziyang; he was just in a hurry to get the snuff bottle.

"What!" Su Ziyang jumped up from his chair, Daoist Jin.

"You silly child, so easily startled. Are you crazy? Stop it! I have two more patients to treat later. Give the snuff bottle to Master, and Master will treat you to mutton soup later." Daoist Jin began to use a conciliatory approach.

However, Daoist Jin didn't know was that the snuff bottle was no longer in Su Ziyang's possession.

Upon hearing that the porcelain vase was an artifact from the Qing Dynasty, Su Ziyang broke out in a cold sweat. Recalling his pretentious manner just now, Su Ziyang wanted nothing more than to slap himself for being such a show-off.

The price for this little brat was a bit too high, but fortunately, he gave it to Jin Tiantian for free, so Su Ziyang can find a reason to get it back.

"Master, please don't be angry with me or kill me if I tell you I gave this item away. I'm your disciple, after all!"

Su Ziyang swallowed hard and said in a trembling voice.

"Stop fooling around, what's wrong with you today? I really have something to do in a bit, stop it, I really will treat you to mutton soup later. You've already given it away in less than ten minutes? Give it to me now, I'm in a hurry to leave!"

Daoist Jin clearly didn't believe it, thinking Su Ziyang was joking with him.

"Master, I really did give it away... I told you I filled it with Leopard Fetus Tendon-Altering Pill and gave it to a patient, but don't worry, Master, I can get it back! I... I... I'll call right away!"

Su Ziyang took out his phone to call Jin Tiantian.

Only after Su Ziyang said this did Daoist Jin realize that Su Ziyang was not joking and had really given away the snuff bottle.

Knowing the truth, Daoist Jin suddenly fell silent, and Su Ziyang suddenly felt the room grow colder...

Sensing the tense atmosphere, Su Ziyang looked away from his phone and met Daoist Jin's explosive gaze.

"I... I..." Daoist Jin's hands trembled with anger. "No matter how vast the family fortune, you've squandered it all, you little brat! Not only did you covet my medical kit, but you also gave away a perfectly good snuff bottle! And to a patient no less! Today, I'm going to clean house!"

Daoist Jin reached out to hit Su Ziyang, Su Ziyang, terrified, didn't dare dodge and immediately shrank back, pleading, "Master, please don't hit me! Let's talk this out. Can't I get it back for you? Hey... hey!"

Daoist Jin ignored all nonsense and directly pinched the large tendon under Su Ziyang's armpit, causing Su Ziyang to cry out in pain.

"What are you doing? Why are you two fighting?" Fairy Li's childlike voice came from the doorway.

When the outsiders arrived, Daoist Jin released Su Ziyang, smoothed his hair, and still glared at Su Ziyang angrily.

Fairy Li did not come alone; she was followed by Mr. Mengfei.

"What are you two doing!" Mr. Mengfei was also taken aback when he saw Daoist Jin's disheveled Daoist robe and Su Ziyang sitting on the ground.

"Master, save me!" Su Ziyang looked at Fairy Li and Mr. Mengfei as if he had found a savior.

"Lao Jin, why are you beating him up again?" Mr. Mengfei was protective of his own, but he wasn't unreasonable. Since Daoist Jin was also one of Su Ziyang's teachers, there must be some reason for him beating Su Ziyang up.

"This kid took one of my snuff bottles from the late Qing Dynasty, filled it with some medicine, fooled a patient, and then gave the snuff bottle away." Daoist Jin pointed at Su Ziyang.

Su Ziyang didn't say anything; Mr. Mengfei could tell at a glance that it was genuine.

"Oh! Then beat him up, beat him hard. How come I didn't know this kid was such a spendthrift..." Mr. Mengfei glared, then gave his approval to Daoist Jin beating up Su Ziyang.

"Fairy Li, save me!" Seeing that his master was abandoning him, Su Ziyang immediately begged Fairy Li for help.

Fairy Li was still angry with Su Ziyang, but seeing how wasteful Su Ziyang was, she sighed in her childish voice, "Serves him right! Daoist Jin, beat him up! Humph!"

After saying that, Fairy Li turned and left.

Mr. Mengfei shook his head. "Lao Jin, I've made plans with Xuhui to get together sometime. I'm off! Just give that kind of guy a good beating!"

After saying that, Mr. Mengfei left.

Only the old man and the young boy remained in the room. Su Ziyang glanced at Daoist Jin in despair, then closed his eyes.

"Sizzle~"

A piercing pain shot straight to my brain.
