The Ancient Sorcerer did not stay long with Zhou Yake; after spending some time playing with Lai Chen, he left because he received a call from Kong Ying, who said there was something urgent. Before leaving, he left his rental deposit and his phone with Zhou Yake, telling her to call him if anything came up.
"Kong Ying, what's wrong?"
Once he got into Kong Ying's car, the Ancient Sorcerer felt a bit strange. One of Zhong Wenxin's Seven Spirits had already returned to its place, so there shouldn't be any issues.
Shaking her head, Kong Ying said, "It's not Wenxin; it's Fan Feng."
"Oh?"
The Ancient Sorcerer immediately understood: "Did something happen to her after last night's operation?"
During last night's operation, Zhang Qi had controlled Fan Feng and others' minds through the Thousand Soul Banner just before dying. Fan Feng was the most affected, so it was very likely that she would experience some issues.
"Yes, she just called me and said she felt nauseous and couldn't sleep all night. She has been in a dazed state and asked me to check if there was something wrong."
"It’s likely that her mind has been damaged; it’s not a big problem. I can prescribe her some medicine."
After waking Fan Feng up with two slaps last night, the Ancient Sorcerer knew she hadn't suffered serious harm, which is why he felt at ease leaving. However, since there were still some lingering effects now, prescribing her some medicine would suffice.
"You can prescribe medicine too?"
The Ancient Sorcerer smiled and said, "Did you forget? I cured Xiao Tongfang."
"But you didn't use medicine to cure her."
Kong Ying certainly wouldn't deny that the Ancient Sorcerer had cured Xiao Tongfang, but at that time, he had used a nursery rhyme instead of a prescription.
"I am omnipotent."
Kong Ying glanced at the Ancient Sorcerer and said, "Alright, where are we going now?"
"You just need to find a traditional Chinese medicine shop. We will go there to buy some herbs."
"Okay."
Kong Ying was very familiar with Guanghai City. After driving through several streets, she stopped in front of a large pharmacy called Tongxin Hall.
After getting out of the car, they walked inside. As they walked, Kong Ying said, "This place is run by my uncle Xu Zhan. No matter what medicine you need, they have it here. Even if they don't have it, he can find a way to get it for you."
"Kong Ying, I realize you have quite the connections in Guanghai City."
The Ancient Sorcerer sighed; Kong Ying seemed to know an overwhelming number of people. For example, Fan Feng and Xu Zhan were from completely different industries, yet Kong Ying clearly had a close relationship with both of them. Achieving that was no easy feat.
"Actually, it's all thanks to my father. Back in the day, my father traveled extensively and met many people."
Upon entering the main door of Tongxin Hall, the Ancient Sorcerer noticed that the interior decoration followed a traditional and antique style. The chairs, tables, and medicine shelves were all traditional designs, and even the counter featured intricately carved window decorations, making one feel as if they had stepped back into ancient times.
The hall was bustling with people, but everyone spoke in lowered voices, so it didn't feel noisy at all. In the eastern corner of the hall were five tables, each occupied by an elderly person over sixty years old who was taking pulses and writing prescriptions. Those who received prescriptions would then go to the medicine cabinet where someone was specifically responsible for preparing the herbs.
Everything appeared orderly.
"Ha! Ying girl, what brings you here?"
Just as the Ancient Sorcerer was looking around, a cheerful voice came from behind. Turning around, he saw an elderly man in his seventies walking briskly toward them.
Not tall, probably just a little over one meter sixty, with a round face, bright eyes, a prominent nose, and ears like wheels. The most striking feature is his pair of snow-white longevity eyebrows that hang down long from both sides, measuring about half a finger in length.
“Uncle Xu, I've told you countless times not to call me girl.”
Kong Ying blushed slightly; she was already a mother now, and especially in front of the Ancient Sorcerer, it was quite embarrassing for Xu Zhan to call her that.
“Ha! In my eyes, you will always be a girl.”
Xu Zhan said as he looked at the Ancient Sorcerer, unable to help but feel a wave of admiration in his heart: on the surface, he seemed only slightly stronger than an average person, but in reality, he was full of power; that vigorous vitality seemed ready to burst forth.
“Good! Truly a good man.”
Xu Zhan praised lightly. As a national-level traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, he had seen countless people, but someone as vigorous as the Ancient Sorcerer before him was rare in his lifetime.
“Hello, Xu Lao.”
The Ancient Sorcerer bent slightly; in front of Xu Zhan, he was merely a junior.
“Let’s talk inside; there are too many people here.”
Xu Zhan said as he turned and led the Ancient Sorcerer and Kong Ying inside. They passed through the hall and unexpectedly came upon a small yard. The yard was planted with pomegranates and flowering crabs, and there was even a gazebo. Beside the gazebo was a pond of about thirty square meters, sparsely growing several lotus plants.
“What a nice place.”
As the three sat down at the stone table in the small pavilion, hearing the Ancient Sorcerer's praise made Xu Zhan smile proudly. “Hey, everyone who sees this place praises it. Someone once offered thirty million to buy it from me, but I wasn't willing; I told them not to speak unless they had three hundred million.”
“Uncle Xu, I think the one who offered thirty million was my dad.”
Xu Zhan narrowed his eyes and pretended to be angry, saying, "Your dad has plenty of money. Since he has his eyes on my place, why not spend a little more?"
Kong Ying quickly replied, "This has nothing to do with me. You can argue with my dad."
"Hmph! No matter how you put it, your dad is just a miser. By the way, what are you doing here today? This young man seems nice; is he your sweetheart? Bringing him to meet this old man?"
Kong Ying's face immediately turned red upon hearing this. "Uncle Xu, if you keep saying such things, I won't come here anymore."
The Ancient Sorcerer also felt a headache coming on. Xu Zhan was at that age where he dared to say anything.
"Old Xu, I am the Ancient Sorcerer."
Xu Zhan raised his long eyebrows and said, "Oh, you're the one who cured Xiao Tongfang?"
Xu Zhan knew that Kong Ying's son had fallen ill, but he was helpless at that time. Now that he heard the Ancient Sorcerer was the one who cured him, he suddenly became very interested.
"Well, it was just a coincidence; I'm just a wandering practitioner."
Xu Zhan shook his head and said, "No matter what kind of practitioner you are, the fact that you cured Xiao Tongfang is what matters most."
Xu Zhan had already learned from Kong Ying that the Ancient Sorcerer used a children's song called "Heavenly Dreadful" to cure Xiao Tongfang. The entire treatment process already had a touch of the miraculous about it.
