<h4>Chapter 1256: Chapter 1256</h4>


    When Lin Yifan woke up again, he saw it was already eight o’clock on his phone.


    "Why not sleep a little more?"


    Xu Fengxian heard some movement in the room and immediately walked in.


    Last night they stayed up almost until dawn, and he fell asleep from exhaustion.


    "I promised Xiao Cui today to take her to the temple fair. I’d like to buy some herbs too. Do you want toe along?"


    Lin Yifan was still a bit tired, but he didn’t have enough herbs on hand.


    At the temple fair, people from all around woulde to the market, making it the best opportunity to gather herbs.


    "I won’t go. In a few days, frogs will being down the mountain. I’ve hired two people to help collect them. At noon, I’ll switch shifts with Jiufeng. I’m afraid she won’t manage on her own."


    Frogs in the Northeast are simr to the Southern forest frogs, and they’re precious medicinal materials.


    Spring and autumn every year are the harvesting seasons for frogs, and she certainly wouldn’t miss it.


    "Then save some frogs this year and make some snow frogs. It’ll be perfect for alchemy."


    "Then I must be the first to try the Youthful Appearance Pill!"


    Xu Fengxian hugged his waist and acted spoiled.


    "Don’t worry, you’ll certainly have some. I’m leaving now, but be careful."


    He affectionately kissed her cheek before stepping out.


    Last night he parked directly at her ce, so there’s nothing to avoid now.


    "He has already set off. Have a great time, both of you."


    Watching the pickup truck drive away, Xu Fengxian took out her phone and sent a WeChat message.


    "Got it, thanks, sister!"


    Located in Team Six, Xiao Cui jumped out the door cheerfully.


    In no time, the huge pickup truck arrived.


    "Ready to head out."


    Lin Yifan stopped the car and said to Xiao Cui.


    "Yifan, my ssmate’s dad has pneumoconiosis. Can you take a look at him?"


    Not boarding the car, Xiao Cui pleaded with a concerned expression.


    "No problem, let’s go in then."


    Lin Yifan naturally wouldn’t refuse, so he parked the car.


    Guided by her, he walked into the shabby house.


    The old mud house was quite worn down, and the yard was filled with various farm tools.


    Before they stepped inside, coughing sounds could be heard from within.


    Entering the dpidated house, Miao Miao was seen feeding herbal medicine to her bedridden father.


    "Miao Miao, this is Yifan. He’se to help take a look at your dad."


    "Well... thank you."


    Miao Miao looked at Lin Yifan with gratitude.


    Though she was the same age as Xiao Cui, her hardship-ridden family made her appear much older.


    "I don’t need it... cough cough... don’t look... wasting money!"


    Miao Miao’s father hurriedly waved his hands tightly.


    In such family conditions, affording food was already a concern, let alone medical treatment.


    "Don’t worry, Uncle. I won’t charge anything. You cough so severely; it seems like you’ve been ill for a long time."


    Lin Yifan sat sideways on the bed edge and grasped his emaciated arm.


    "This illness... it’s incurable... why won’t they just let me die... always a burden to others..."


    The dry and thin man breathed rapidly.


    Years of coughing and panting had rendered himpletely incapable of work.


    "Dying doesn’t solve problems. Only by living can you better care for Miao Miao. I’ll give you a needle treatment first, which should alleviate the symptoms. Later today, I’ll have Xiao Cui deliver some herbal medicine. Although it won’t fully heal you, it can ensure you won’t have major issues anymore. With proper recovery, you can return to work."


    Lin Yifan took the needle box out of his pocket, handling the silver needle as he pricked a few spots on his colorless chest.


    Xiao Cui and Miao Miao, naturally unfamiliar with this seemingly simple nine needles technique, were unaware it was legendary in the Chinese medicine circles.


    Each aspect of sequence and depth carried strict requirements.


    "Cough cough cough..."


    When the silver needle was inserted, Miao Miao’s father suddenly began a violent cough.


    The aggressive coughing seemed as if he was about to cough out his lungs, frightening Miao Miao into tears.


    Yet, Lin Yifan remained calm, quickly withdrawing the silver needle with his right hand.


    He effortlessly flipped him onto his side, and then pped rapidly on his back with his right hand.


    "Wow..."


    Miao Miao’s father, prone on the bed edge, spat out a mouthful of dark blood.


    The sight left the two women nearby pale with fright.


    "Dad... you’ve killed my dad!"


    Miao Miao gripped Lin Yifan’s arm excitedly, yelling loudly.


    The blood her father spat out had formed a pool, with clotted pieces among it.


    The herbal medicine he had just consumed was entirely ejected.


    "I... I’m fine... feels sofortable!"


    Unexpectedly, the uncle at the bed edge waved eagerly.


    The longpressed chest felt incrediblyfortable now.


    He hadn’t breathed this smoothly in years.


    "I simply helped him expel the clotted blood in the chest cavity to alleviate his symptoms. However, due to years of illness, his lungs have fibrosed, and recovery won’t be instantaneous. Later I’ll have Xiao Cui deliver the medicine here. With regr three doses a day and enhanced recovery exercises, you should be back on your feet in two months."


    Lin Yifan smiled, putting away the silver needle.


    "Sorry... I was too impulsive earlier... I’ll kowtow to you!"


    Miao Miao, teary-eyed, was about to kneel when Yifan quickly held her back.


    "You are Xiao Cui’s ssmate and a viger from Taoyuan Vige. We’re all fellow vigers, so no need for courtesy. Take good care of Uncle, and we’ll go to the temple fair to buy some herbs."


    After giving some reminders, Lin Yifan led Xiao Cui outside.


    Miao Miao thanked them profusely as she walked them out.


    "Yifan, your medical skill is truly amazing. With such talent, why do you stay in the vige?"


    Having witnessed Lin Yifan’s exceptional skill twice, Xiao Cui could hardly contain her excitement.


    Such ability, in the city, could earn fortunes instantly.


    "Who says talent must head to the city? Those iron skyscrapers are suffocating. The countryside with its beautifulndscapes and scenery is far better."


    Gripping the steering wheel, Lin Yifan smiled.


    "And still you want me to return to school. I want to stay in Taoyuan Vige and be your assistant instead."


    Xiao Cui pouted, looking aggrieved.


    He always spoke against city life yet persistently sent her back.


    "We’re not the same. I’ve seen splendid sceneries without changing my initial intentions, but you haven’t experienced worldly delights yet. How could you know your heart’s belonging? Oh, let me transfer two thousand yuan to you. Find a way to give it to Miao Miao. Her dad’s body is weak and needs nourishment. How you manage it is up to you."


    Lin Yifan smiled and transferred two thousand yuan to Xiao Cui.


    "Are you interested in Miao Miao?"


    No matter how mature, women invariably get jealous.


    "Stop spouting nonsense. Not everyone thinks only about women; I’m just repaying my karma."


    Lin Yifan rolled his eyes at her.


    People don’t realize the importance of doing good and umting virtue, leading to pressing karmic debts.


    As the Heavenly Doctor, he might not be a saint, but he knew how to umte virtue.
