I Can Fix My Talent in Hundred Lives

Chapter 636: Chapter 491: Qin Ping’an_2

In the medical clinic.

Chen Sheng in a dark blue long gown, with a few strands of silver at his temples and fine lines from the years at the corners of his eyes, yet appearing more gentle and stable.

Huang Wangyou wearing a simple moon-white cloth dress, with a touch of warmth and tranquility in her expression, making her already lively demeanor even more mature.

Twenty years of mutual understanding, the couple remained loving, their tacit understanding in gestures surpassing what it was years ago.

Under the old pagoda tree, there were stone tables and stone benches, the dappled sunlight filtering through the thick shade, landing on the chessboard.

Huang Yueyang sat in one corner, dressed in loose gray clothes, his hair slightly white, yet spirited, holding a black piece in his hand, concentrating on the chess game.

Across from him sat two old friends.

One was an old man with a large nose, his nose tip reddened, his gaze sharp, the other was an old man with large ears, his ear rims thick, and his smile amiable.

Both were old residents of the city’s west side, having known Huang Yueyang for many years.

On the chessboard, black and white pieces intersected, the battle was fierce, and a few children played around the pagoda tree, laughter mingled with the sound of cicadas, creating a leisurely scene.

Suddenly, the big-nosed old man placed his piece quickly, his fingertips lightly tapping on the stone table, and sighed:

"Old Huang, you truly are blessed to have found a son-in-law like Doctor Tang, his skills are extraordinary."

"And with a good heart, guarding the Herbal Medicine Hall for twenty years, he still cherishes Wangyou like in the beginning, their love makes people envious."

As soon as he finished speaking, he made a face, speaking with a bit of complaint:

"Unlike my son-in-law, who just holds a minor position in the government office, having some small abilities, he became very arrogant."

"Always gathering friends, showing off, if it weren’t for me, he wouldn’t hesitate to bring people home openly!"

"Hahaha!"

The big-eared old man clapped and laughed heartily, his voice loud:

"Men, well, try to understand!"

"Moreover, your son-in-law isn’t bad, when the Mang Army entered the city the year before last, he achieved notable merits, now he has some influence in the government office."

"Humph!"

The big-nosed old man snorted heavily, his face full of disdain:

"Achieve a little merit and he gets so arrogant, his skills compared to Doctor Tang?"

"Even the dignitaries from the State Mansion come to seek medical advice and medicines, yet he remains humble, guarding the clinic, living an honest life?"

The two were about to argue until they’re flushed, fingers pointing at the chessboard, their tones growing more excited.

Huang Yueyang quickly raised his hand, gently placing a white piece on the chessboard, smiling to defuse the situation:

"Enough, enough, my old brothers, no more arguing. Children and grandchildren have their own fortune, everyone has their own way of living."

"Come, let’s play chess, I’ve been waiting for this move for quite some time."

The two had always respected Huang Yueyang, upon hearing him, they both smiled sheepishly, suppressing their anger, and collectively looking at the chessboard, thus dissolving the tension.

After a pause, the big-eared old man seemed to suddenly remember something and said:

"Old Huang, do you have any more Pill that you gave me last time?"

"After taking it, I feel much lighter, and my blood circulation is better, I used to pant after a few steps, now I can walk around the old pagoda tree ten or eight times without difficulty."

Upon hearing this, the big-nosed old man’s eyes immediately brightened, his previous displeasure vanished, he looked at Huang Yueyang with eager eyes, nodding repeatedly:

"I felt the same way! After taking it, my back doesn’t ache, and I sleep soundly at night."

"Old Huang, do you have any more stock? Could you spare some more for your old brother?"

Huang Yueyang stroked his beard, laughed heartily, speaking with a hint of pride:

"Don’t worry, don’t worry, this is on me! I’ve been busy crafting new Pills these days, once they’re done, I’ll send them to you, ensuring there’s plenty."

As the sun set, the chess game under the old pagoda tree dispersed, Huang Yueyang bade farewell to his old friends, leisurely strolling back to the Herbal Medicine Hall.

By this time, there weren’t many patients left in the clinic, a few assistants were tidying the consultation tables, wiping the medicine cabinets, with the air filled with the scent of herbs.

In the open space of the backyard, there was a small wooden table, on it were grindstones, sieves, pill molds, and other items, Huang Yueyang rolled up his sleeves, beginning his daily routine of selecting herbs, grinding powder, and crafting Pills.

He was once an Alchemist in the Cultivation Realm, though now in the mortal world.

Surrounded by a mundane world changed drastically, with no Spirit Vein or Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures of the Cultivation Realm, he still maintained a great interest in Alchemy.

Ordinary herbs, when processed and concocted by him, always yield a nourishing Pill for blood and energy.

Although it lacked the Heaven-defying effects of Elixir Pills for cultivators, it greatly benefited mortal bodies.

From the corridor nearby, Huang Wangyou inadvertently glanced at her father’s busy figure, with a hint of helplessness in her smile, she turned to Chen Sheng, who was checking prescriptions beside her, and spoke softly:

"Father is crafting his own remedies again, tinkering with his little Pills."

Chen Sheng placed down the wolf hair brush in his hand, followed her gaze, and saw Huang Yueyang concentrating on crafting Pills with skilled movements, couldn’t help but smile lightly, speaking gently:

"Don’t worry, I secretly checked his remedy and ingredient proportions just now."

"Master has thought very carefully this time, the herb combinations are balanced, although the benefits for nourishing blood and energy are not very substantial, there are almost no side effects, it’s completely safe for mortals to consume."

Upon hearing this, Huang Wangyou breathed a sigh of relief, the worry on her face faded, recalling the last farce, she couldn’t help but support her forehead and chuckle:

"Thankfully, you were there, last time Father’s Pill really made his old friends suffer, pulling them to no end, it was your remedy that finally allowed them to recover."
