Free Web NovelChapter 1978: Chapter 1967: A Mistake
Aside from feeling sympathy for Yang Yuhe, Ao Kangsheng also discovered one more thing.
That is to say, the reason Yang Yuhe looked so ugly was mainly because she was a boy in the kitchen.
In view of this, Ao Cangsheng examined Yang Yuhe’s pulse.
By probing the five viscera of Yang Yuhe, Ao Cangsheng found that a large amount of Elixir Poison had accumulated within her organs.
It was precisely because of this Elixir Poison that Yang Yuhe’s appearance had gradually deteriorated and become distorted.
Knowing this, Ao Kangsheng came up with an idea to restore Yang Yuhe’s looks.
In the following two days, aside from going out to look for apothecaries, Ao Kangsheng spent all his remaining time refining Pills for Yang Yuhe.
That day, Ao Cangsheng had just finished brewing a furnace of Pills when the door to his room was suddenly pushed open.
"My guest, I’ve brought you the braised duck you wanted!"
The person who opened the door bowed respectfully to Ao Sheng as he spoke.
Ao Cangsheng looked up; it turned out to be that young man from the inn. Then he said in surprise, "I think you’ve made a mistake, young man."
Ao Kangsheng did not immediately agree with the young man’s opinion, but asked curiously, "What do you plan to do with these pills?"
The young man said, "My wife just gave birth to a child, she’s bleeding now, and her body is extremely weak."
"For this reason, I’ve already hired several Doctors, but the outcome hasn’t been good."
"I can see my wife’s health getting worse by the day. If I drag it out like this, I fear..."
At this point, a sorrowful look suddenly burst across the young man’s face.
The young man let out a light sigh and said, "I once wanted to go to the Golden Palace to ask for a Pill, but how could a poor man like me possibly step through the doors of the Golden Palace?"
"I happened to meet you today at the inn, so I dared to ask to buy one Pill from you to save my wife’s life."
By the time he finished speaking, a pleading look had unconsciously flooded into the young waiter’s eyes.
"Are you sure your wife is just weak?"
Hearing the young man’s words, Ao Cangsheng felt a surge of sympathy and immediately asked.
Seeing a hope of saving his wife, the young man nodded hard and said, "Yes! The third Doctor before said my wife hurt her Yuan Qi because of blood loss, which made her body empty and unable to be replenished."
"Oh? If that’s the case, I can give you a Pill."
Ao Cangsheng gave a soft hum, then lifted his hand, and a Pill dropped into the young man’s palm.
The boy’s face instantly showed excitement and gratitude.
"Thank you for your help. I’ll bring my wife and my family here to thank you!"
The young boy clutched the Pill tightly and bowed to Ao Kangsheng.
"There’s no need to be so polite. Meeting you and helping you is my good fortune."
Ao Cangsheng raised his hand and smiled lightly.
The youngster nodded excitedly, then quickly reached out for a bag of gold and placed it in Ao Kangsheng’s way. "The grace of saving a life is something a small fellow like me can never repay. I only have this little money to offer. Please don’t look down on it, big brother. Please accept it."
Seeing the little servant’s action, Ao Cangsheng couldn’t help but give a wry smile.
A Monk like him simply had no use for these yellow-and-white bits of metal.
"Take the gold back, I can’t accept it. As I just said, our meeting is fated. I’m helping you, not doing business with you."
Ao Cangsheng stuffed the bag of gold back into the boy’s pocket and spoke with a smile.
"But how can I repay your kindness then?"
"I’m really ashamed," the young man said.
Ao Kangsheng waved his hand. "I never meant for you to repay me for helping you. Otherwise, do you think you could buy my medicine with that bit of gold?"
Hearing Ao Cangsheng’s words, the little servant’s face flushed red. "Big brother says this medicine is priceless; now I understand that too. If so, then please accept my bow once more!"
With that, the young boy gave Ao Kangsheng another deep bow.
This time, Ao Kangsheng did not stop him.
"Big brother, I’ll be going!"
The young man bowed and said excitedly.
Cangsheng nodded. "Go back and save your wife."
A moment later, the boy seemed to turn into a gust of wind, quickly flung open the door, and dashed out of the room.
"Your braised duck!"
Seeing the braised duck on the table, Ao Cangsheng hurriedly shouted out toward the door.
"That’s for you! Also, big brother might as well take a walk over to the Golden Core Hospital. With your ability, you’ll definitely make a name for yourself!"
From a distance, a voice drifted in from the corridor—that was the boy’s last sentence.
"Golden Core Hospital?"
Hearing this name again, Ao Kangsheng couldn’t help but be stirred.
When he first arrived in this place, he had no friends and no supporters at all.
If he could secure a foothold in the Golden Palace through Alchemy, then when he walked in Qianren City, he would surely reap great benefits.
Moreover, if he could become famous in the Golden Palace, it would certainly play a great supporting role in his search for and approach to the Water King Mansion.
With this in mind, Ao Cangsheng decided that once Yang Yuhe recovered, he would head to the Golden Palace.
After the Dan was finished, Ao Cangsheng had Yang Yuhe try it.
After she took the medicine, Ao Cangsheng carefully examined Yang Yuhe’s pulse.
Through his probing, Ao Kangsheng discovered that the Pills he refined had indeed dissolved some of the Elixir Poison accumulated within Yang Yuhe’s body.
It was just that, because the Elixir Poison had been deposited for so long, this bit of Elixir Poison’s dissolution did not cause much change to Yang Yuhe’s appearance.
Over the next three days, Ao Cangsheng had Yang Yuhe take three pills a day.
At the same time, Ao Cangsheng also constantly observed the changes in the Elixir Poison within Yang Yuhe.
After three days, the last layer of Elixir Poison in Yang Yuhe was completely dissolved.
But what puzzled Ao Kangsheng was that, after three days of taking medicine, Yang Yuhe’s face showed no change apart from some numbness.
"So it wasn’t because of the Elixir Poison?"
Seeing this, Ao Cangsheng felt somewhat dispirited.
For that reason, that very night he once again carefully analyzed Yang Yuhe’s pulse, hoping to find some other clue.
The next day, Ao Kangsheng still failed to find any new leads.
Such was the situation.
Ao Cangsheng did not know about this assessment beforehand, so he arrived relatively late and could only fall to the back.
"Tat-tat..."
Just as those people were speaking, a burst of hoofbeats suddenly shattered the Ning Jing outside the Golden Palace.
When they looked around, they saw two young girls, each riding a horse, flying straight toward the Golden Palace.
The two girls were wildly swinging the whips in their hands, glaring at each other as if they were angry.
As the whips cracked, the horses immediately roared and charged into the crowd. The crowd scattered in terror at once.
The first girl to arrive paid no attention to this scene. Only when the horse leapt forward did she suddenly grab a fistful of mane at the horse’s neck.
In an instant, the horse’s two front hooves suddenly reared up, its entire body standing upright.
At this moment, a young man in white stood right in front of the beast.
The raised hooves of that horse were higher than the boy’s head.
Seeing this, many people couldn’t help feeling shocked.
So long as those hooves came down, the young man in white would likely die beneath them.
"Get out of the way!"
Seeing this situation, the girl on the beast’s back suddenly cursed coldly, wanting to shout the boy in white aside.
However, the young man in white seemed already determined to confront the young girl, and remained standing there without moving an inch.
"Do you have a death wish?"
A trace of icy ruthlessness flashed in the young girl’s eyes as she cursed again.
As she spoke, the beast’s hooves finally howled down toward the head of the boy in white.
"Neigh—"
Just as the young man in white was about to be killed, the originally fierce mount suddenly let out a strange neigh, as if startled, and sprang sideways.
All of a sudden, the girl’s body tilted abruptly atop the beast’s back, and she nearly fell off.
