In order to gain more treatment ideas, she inquired everywhere and humbly sought advice from people around her who were good at pharmacology.
She traveled between villages, not letting go of any possible clue, and grasping at even the faintest hope.
Finally, after overcoming numerous hardships, Ye Jiuchen successfully returned to the clinic with the collected samples. The moment he stepped into the clinic, a sudden inspiration flashed through Dongfang Wan'er's mind. Looking at the samples in Ye Jiuchen's hands, she excitedly said...
"Perhaps we can add an extremely cold herb to neutralize the medicinal properties, and then supplement it with something that enhances the body's vital energy. It might have unexpected effects." Upon hearing this, Ye Jiuchen's eyes showed approval. The two smiled at each other and immediately began to prepare the new medicine.
Following the prescribed formula, they carefully weighed each ingredient and placed them in a pot to simmer. During the simmering process, they dared not leave for a moment, closely monitoring the changes in the broth and constantly adjusting the heat and simmering time. After several hours of effort, the new medicine was finally successfully produced.
After the new drug was developed, they decided to test it on a critically ill patient first. When the news spread, the entire town held its breath, filled with worry and anticipation. Everyone feared that the new drug would not only fail to cure the patient but would also worsen their condition. However, Dongfang Wan'er and Ye Jiuchen's eyes revealed unwavering conviction; they firmly believed their judgment was correct.
Under the tense gaze of everyone, they administered the new medicine to the patient. Initially, there was no noticeable change, which made everyone's hearts leap into their throats. However, soon after, a miracle occurred. The patient's high fever gradually subsided, the convulsions subsided, and consciousness began to return. Even more surprisingly, the dark spots on the patient's body began to shrink, and the ulcers showed signs of healing. Seeing this, the entire town erupted in cheers and applause. People flocked to the clinic, expressing their sincerest gratitude and respect to Dongfang Wan'er and Ye Jiuchen.
Looking at the scene before them, Dongfang Wan'er and Ye Jiuchen were filled with relief. They smiled at each other, a smile that reflected both the joy of the patient's recovery and the determination to face the challenges ahead. They knew that the road to saving lives was still long, and countless patients awaited their help. So, they quickly packed their bags and prepared to head to the next place in need of treatment. In the afterglow of the setting sun, their figures gradually disappeared into the distance, leaving an eternal light in people's hearts.
In the vast expanse of heaven and earth, Dongfang Wan'er and Ye Jiuchen, a couple of highly skilled healers, bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun, traveled wearily towards an unknown land in the distance. Their figures stretched long along the winding road, their hearts filled with a sincere desire to save lives, rushing to wherever they were needed. With each step they took, they entered a remote mountain village forgotten by time.
This mountain village seemed isolated from the world, surrounded by rolling hills and connected to the outside world only by a narrow, rugged path. As they entered, a suffocating atmosphere enveloped them. A desolate and dilapidated scene greeted them; houses were scattered haphazardly, walls were crumbling, and no smoke rose from the chimneys. The villagers all looked haggard, their eyes dull and lifeless; the laughter and chatter of yesteryear had vanished, replaced by groans and sighs of pain.
After some inquiries, they learned that the village was being relentlessly ravaged by a strange disease. Those afflicted seemed to be gripped by an invisible demon, their bodies limp and powerless, making even the simplest tasks of standing and walking extremely difficult. Even more terrifying, they often fell into bizarre hallucinations, sometimes screaming in terror, sometimes babbling incoherently, as if in a world filled with horror and despair. Watching the villagers struggle in pain, Dongfang Wan'er and Ye Jiuchen were filled with compassion. They knew time was of the essence; they had to find the cause of the disease as soon as possible and save these suffering lives.
Without a moment's rest, the two quickly launched a meticulous investigation. They visited each household, carefully inquiring about the symptoms and details of each patient's life before the onset of illness, leaving no possible clue unchecked. After several days of tireless effort, they finally focused their attention on the well water that the villagers drank daily. With their superb medical skills and keen observation, they detected trace amounts of toxins in the well water. However, the origin of this toxin and how it entered the well water remained a mystery.
Just as they were racking their brains for a cure and were at their wits' end, a mysterious old man appeared before them. The old man wore a simple robe, his hair was white, and his face was etched with the marks of time, but his eyes were bright and piercing, revealing a profound and mysterious aura. The old man spoke slowly, claiming that he knew the cure for this strange illness, but he made a demanding condition—they must solve an ancient medical puzzle before he would reveal the solution.
Faced with the old man's request, Dongfang Wan'er and Ye Jiuchen did not hesitate for a moment. They knew that this riddle might be the only hope for saving the villagers. So, the two plunged into the vast ocean of medicine, searching for clues in mountains of ancient texts. Day and night, they perused yellowed books, carefully studying every medical case and prescription, leaving no possible breakthrough unexplored. In this process, they encountered countless difficulties and setbacks. Many ancient texts were obscure and difficult to understand, and some medical theories were vastly different from what they had learned before. But they were not deterred by these difficulties. With unwavering faith and profound medical knowledge, they moved step by step closer to the answer.
After several days and nights of tireless effort, they finally solved the ancient medical mystery. The old man nodded in satisfaction, a hint of admiration in his eyes. He told Dongfang Wan'er and Ye Jiuchen that the poison could be cured by boiling water with a special vine from the mountains. Overjoyed, the two rushed up the mountain to find the vine without even resting.
The mountain environment was extremely harsh, the roads rugged and difficult to traverse, overgrown with thorns. They proceeded cautiously, each step fraught with danger. Along the way, they encountered an attack by a wild beast. A massive animal leaped out of the bushes, baring its fangs and claws, and pounced on them. Faced with this sudden danger, Dongfang Wan'er and Ye Jiuchen remained calm.
