Elixir Supplier 339 Formless

I need to try it.

Wang Yao turned the light off in the middle of the night.

It was very quiet on Nanshan Hill.

After Wang Yao had fallen into sleep, the clouds above the herbal field spontaneously up gathered, which covered the stars. Then the shape of the clouds became soft. The clouds had unique color one couldn't tell. In fact, no one could see the color of the clouds in the middle of the night.

The wind started to pick up, though it wasn't too strong yet.

The leaves were rustling in the wind.

What?

Wang Yao turned his body on the bed.

There was a rumbling sound outside. However, Wang Yao didn't sense it, even though he was normally so sensitive. It was not because he was in deep sleep.

The rumbling sound was from the hill itself. The hill seemed to be shaking.

What's going on?

Wang Yao suddenly woke up. He got out of bed, put on a jacket, then went out of the cottage to see what was going on.

Inside the herbal field, all the plants were still. The trees were also still, like security guards. However, San Xian came out of his dog house. He didn't bark. Da Xia flapped his wings on the tree.

Nothing is happening?

Wang Yao didn't think there was something going on according to the responses of San Xian and Da Xia. The two of them would alarm him if there was truly something wrong.

Maybe my feeling just now was not right.

He believed he heard something, like the body of Nanshan Hill was shaking.

Anyway, at least nothing is happening.

Wang Yao suddenly stopped on his way back to his cottage.

No!

He looked up at the sky, which appeared normal. He could still see the stars. Nothing seemed to be different.

The sky is not right!

Wang Yao could tell that the sky above him was different today. He had been observing the sky all the time.

The sky above him tonight was even higher than usual. It looked unreal.

The wind around him was also different. It was very subtle. He could only feel it when he paid attention. The wind was more soothing and he could breathe better.

His surroundings had changed without him noticing.

Why is this happening?

Wang Yao was surprised that there were changes inside the Spirit Gathering battle array. There had been a change previously. Something happened in the pond. The formation of the pond completed the Spirit Gathering battle array. The sky and the earth were connected inside the battle array. If the last change was due to the completion of the battle array, what was the cause of the change this time?

Wang Yao had no idea. After all, he was still new to the battle array. However, he thought the changes were good.

It was dark outside. If this had happened during the day, people would have seen astonishing changes from a distance. The hill would have been surrounded by foggy air. The foggy air would disappear a moment later, then slowly come back in.

It was a shame no one could see such a wonderful scene.

It was nice and sunny the next morning.

Woof! Woof! Woof! San Xian was patrolling his territory as usual. He could tell the difference happening overnight. He was not as excited as the last time when changes happened around the herbal field. He had gotten used to the changes.

Da Xia was diving in the sky. He was the master in the sky. His territory was much bigger, possibly a hundred miles to the herbal field.

Wang Yao did breathing exercises as usual. His control of Qi was getting better, which was the result of ongoing exercises. He also practiced Chinese boxing. He practiced both at the same time.

"Stupid dog, you don't recognize me again?" Wang Ru opened her eyes widely, but couldn't do anything about the big dog in front of her. She was even a bit scared of San Xian.

This dog is huge!

She didn't know how San Xian had grown bigger since the last time she saw him. She doubted San Xian was even bigger than a Tibetan Mastiff.

It seemed that San Xian was still prejudiced towards her. He didn't let her go inside the herbal field.

"What is going on?" Wang Yao saw his sister as he went down from the top of the hill.

"You need to train your stupid dog better. I've been here so many times. He still doesn't recognize me," said Wang Ru.

Woof! Woof!

San Xian showed his teeth.

"That's alright, San Xian." Wang Yao patted the dog with a smile.

"What are you doing here?" asked Wang Yao.

"Just come to visit you. By the way, did you grow those grapes you brought home?" said Wang Ru.

"Yes," said Wang Yao.

"It's so delicious. Do you have any more?" asked Wang Ru.

"Yes, in my clinic," said Wang Yao.

"Okay, I'll take a bunch or two before I leave," said Wang Ru.

She entered the herbal field and walked around, then took out her phone and started to take photos.

"Sis, please don't take photos." Wang Yao stopped her in time.

"Why?" asked Wang Ru.

"Some of the herbs here are very precious," said Wang Yao.

"Oh, I see." Wang Yao put away her phone immediately. "Then you need to be careful."

"Of course," said Wang Yao.

"That's why you spend every night here?" asked Wang Ru.

"It's one of the reasons. In fact, only you, Mom, and Dad know I grow these precious herbs," said Wang Yao.

Even Wang Mingbao couldn't walk around the herbal field and take a closer look at the herbs. On top of that, most people couldn't tell the difference between licorice roots and common herbs.

"Sis, why are you here exactly?" asked Wang Yao.

"Nothing special, just want to look around. I always feel your place is very different from the other part of the hill or the village," said Wang Yao.

"The sky is bluer, air is fresher, and you feel more relaxed here, right?" asked Wang Yao.

"Exactly," said Wang Yao. This was exactly how she felt here.

"That's right," said Wang Yao with a smile.

"Look at these trees and herbs. They were actually changing the surroundings all the time," said Wang Yao.

"The pond is so clean, and is that a spring at the bottom?" asked Wang Ru.

"Yes," said Wang Yao.

Wang Ru stayed on the hill for over one hour, and didn't stop talking the entire time.

Who's going to marry her? Wang Yao was worried about his sister.

He had an expected guest in the afternoon.

It was Wei Hai.

"Hey, what brings you here?" asked Wang Yao.

"Hi, do you remember that Professor Su from Beijing I mentioned to you the other day?" asked Wei Hai. He came here because his wife received a call from Professor Su, who had treated his wife's brother. His wife promised to introduce Wang Yao to him.

"Do you want to meet with him?" asked Wei Hai carefully.

"Is he in Haiqu?' asked Wang Yao.

"Yes, he's at Haiqu People's Hospital. He really want to see you," said Wei Hai. "But if you don't want to meet with him, I'll let him know."

"That's fine. I'll go and meet with him tomorrow morning," said Wang Yao.

"Okay, I'll let him know. Thank you," said Wei Hai.

Wang Yao just smiled. If it was not for Wei Hai, he wouldn't want to meet with Professor Su. He didn't care about any professors. They were all meaningless to him.

Professor Su was invited to Haiqu People's Hospital.

"Thanks to you, Professor, otherwise we won't be able to have a successful surgical team," said one of the doctors at Haiqu People's Hospital.

"You are welcome," said Professor Su.

He and some doctors had just completed a surgery, which was very tricky. The doctors of Haiqu People's Hospital wouldn't be able to do the surgery by themselves. Fortunately they invited Professor Su from Beijing, who was an expert in this particular field, to assist them. The completion of the surgery was a big success for the doctors of Haiqu People's Hospital.

"Professor Su, we would like you to give a speech on the experiences you have on those kind of surgeries. Do you think you have time to do it?" said a doctor.

"Well..." Professor Su was stopped by a phone call.

Ding! His phone rang.

"Sorry, I have to pick up this call," said Professor Su.

He went out of the office.

"What? He agreed to meet with me? Great! Tomorrow? No problem!" said Professor Su happily.

"Professor Su, what about the speech?" asked the deputy chief of the hospital. Although he was the deputy chief, he didn't have the expertise like some specialists in the medical industry. Su Changhe was well-known in Beijing. He had many patients every single day.

"Okay, what time?" asked Professor Su.

"How about tomorrow morning?" asked the deputy chief.

"Sorry, I'm not available tomorrow morning. I need to meet with a friend," said Su Changhe without hesitation.

It wasn't easy to arrange a meeting with Wang Yao, he wouldn't miss the chance. As for the speech, he didn't think it was going to be very helpful. Even if he gave a speech to those doctors for three days and nights, it wouldn't help those doctors improve their skills. A doctor had to practice more, think more, and learn from their mistakes to improve his or her medical skill. Of course getting professional education and being exposed to advanced knowledge were necessary, but they were not the most important things.

"Can you give me a suitable time?" asked the deputy chief.

"I'll let you know," said Su Changhe.

He actually had turned down the invitation to do it now. The only reason why Su Changhe came to Haiqu was to meet with Wang Yao, whom he believed to be an extraordinary doctor.

"Okay." The deputy chief said no more. After all, he needed to keep Su Changhe happy. Who knew when he would need help from Su Changhe again?

"We'll always have a chance to meet again." Professor Su could tell the deputy chief was disappointed, so he tried to leave the deputy chief some hope.

"That's fine, thank you," said the deputy chief.

After they had discussed the speech, Su Changhe said to the deputy chief, "Dr. Fu, can I ask a favor?"

"Of course," said the deputy chief.

"I want to go to one of the towns in Haiqu tomorrow. Can you please arrange a car for me?" asked Su Changhe. Initially, Wei Hai was happy to pick him up, but he didn't want to bother Wei Hai too much. Therefore, he decided to get someone from the hospital to drive him there.

"Not a problem," said the deputy chief.

This was a piece of cake for the deputy chief.

"Thank you," said Su Changhe.

"You are welcome," said the deputy chief.

Wang Yao didn't go to Nanshan Hill or his clinic in the afternoon. He stayed at home and played poker with his family. He teamed up with his mother while his sister teamed up with his father. Wang Yao and his mother won the games. They had a great time together.

Then Wang Mingbao visited him late afternoon.

"I have to thank you!" said Wang Mingbao as soon as he saw Wang Yao.

"Good news?" asked Wang Yao.

"Yes, all good!" said Wang Mingbao.

"They don't have the weekend off?" asked Wang Yao with a smile.

"Haha," laughed Wang Mingbao.

"You've spoken to the key person about your father?" asked Wang Yao.

"Yes," said Wang Mingbao. "Everything is going well. Thank you"

The promotion was very important to Wang Mingbao's father. He was now one step up.

"You are welcome. Remember you are my best friend," said Wang Yao.

Wang Yao had made friends with some privileged people using his medical skills. Normally, he wouldn't use those resources unless it would help his friends and family.

"Are you available tomorrow?" asked Wang Mingbao.

"I need to meet with someone," said Wang Yao.

"Okay, we can catch up on a different day," said Wang Mingbao.

"Sure," said Wang Yao.

Su Changhe went to find Wei Hai the next morning. He asked Wei Hai to take him to Wang Yao.

"Hello, Dr. Su. I'll drive," said Wei Hai.

"Okay," said Su Changhe.

"Tell you the truth, that Dr. Wang doesn't like meeting with strangers. It was not easy for me to arrange the meeting," said Wei Hai. "It was more difficult than seeing you in Beijing." This was an accurate metaphor.

"Thank you," said Su Changhe with a smile.

The car went onto the road leading to the hills. The roadwork was still going on, so it was not easy to drive.

"Dr. Wang lives in the village among the hills?" asked Su Changhe.

"Yes, in the village," replied Wei Hai.

"I didn't expect that," said Su Changhe. He thought Wang Yao worked in a hospital. He didn't expect that Wang Yao lived and practiced in an isolated village with such poor infrastructure.

"You'll have more surprises later on," said Wei Hai.

"Really?" said Su Changhe.

The car went into the village, which had a road from south to north, and was divided by a river.

Su Changhe noticed the house with black roof and white walls at the southern end of the village. The house looked elegant.

"That's a very nice house," said Su Changhe.

"It's nicer inside. Let's go. It's his clinic," said Wei Hai.

"Clinic?" said Su Changhe with surprise. He hadn't heard such an old-fashioned name for ages.

"Yes," said Wei Hai.
