Over the next two days, Jiang Yuchuan did not fail once more in the process of drawing talismans.

After two days of hard work, he collected more than sixty different talismans.

Looking at the neatly stacked talismans on the desk, Jiang Yuchuan nodded with great satisfaction.

If he hadn't run out of all the paper he had previously purchased, he probably wouldn't have stopped now.

However, since we've already stopped, we might as well take this opportunity to rest for a while.

After all, the talisman problem has been solved, and with the blessing of the Spirit Gathering Pill, his cultivation level has successfully broken through to the peak of the eighth level of Qi Refining. Taking a few days off to relax is no problem at all.

It was still dark outside.

After putting away the talisman and leaving the study, Jiang Yuchuan went straight to bed and fell into a deep sleep.

He slept until the sun was high in the sky.

After getting up, Jiang Yuchuan originally planned to cook himself a sumptuous meal to reward himself.

Who would have thought that the only ingredients left in the kitchen were a few yellowed vegetable leaves, lying listlessly in the basket.

Since we can't cook, we'll have to eat out.

When Jiang Yuchuan went out, the sun was already high in the sky, and the streets were bustling with people. The aroma of various foods mingled together, immediately whetting his appetite.

Jiang Yuchuan went straight to a stall he had eaten at before that had a really good taste, and chose a seat near a corner.

Before Jiang Yuchuan could even order, the stall owner walked over to him first.

"Are you Mr. Jiang?"

Jiang Yuchuan was taken aback: "Does the boss know me?"

The shopkeeper smiled rather sheepishly: "Someone as capable as Mr. Jiang is probably known to almost everyone in town." He then briefly recounted some things he had heard from Granny Sun to Jiang Yuchuan.

Jiang Yuchuan suddenly realized.

No wonder he felt several pairs of eyes staring at him and whispering among themselves as soon as he stepped out onto the street.

"Mr. Jiang, what would you like to eat? If you haven't decided yet, I can cook a few of your specialties for you!"

"Thank you for your kindness, boss. However, I have a big appetite, so I'll have to trouble you to make a serving for three people."

Seeing the boss's warm hospitality, Jiang Yuchuan did not refuse the other party's kindness.

"no problem!"

The owner was very quick; in just a short while, one steaming, fragrant snack after another was served in front of Jiang Yuchuan.

When the last dish of beef offal soup was served, the owner smiled warmly and said, "Mr. Jiang, please try it. See if there's anything you don't like. If so, just let me know! Don't be shy!" After saying that, he took a few steps back, rubbing his hands together while occasionally glancing at Jiang Yuchuan, but he didn't leave.

"Boss, have you run into some trouble and need my help?"

Jiang Yuchuan didn't want to be secretly watched while eating, so he directly pointed out the other person's plan.

When the boss realized his thoughts had been discovered, he smiled sheepishly and moved closer to Jiang Yuchuan.

"I do have a question I'd like to ask Mr. Jiang."

"What question would you like to ask the boss?"

The shopkeeper quickly glanced around, and seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he immediately leaned forward, covered his mouth with his hand, and whispered to Jiang Yuchuan, "Mr. Jiang, your medical skills are superb. I wonder if you can treat this problem of erectile dysfunction?"

"..."

Seeing Jiang Yuchuan looking at him strangely, the shopkeeper quickly explained, "Mr. Jiang, you've misunderstood! I wasn't talking about myself, but my good-for-nothing son!"

Jiang Yuchuan pondered for a moment and said, "Whether it can be cured or not can only be known after examination. I remember there is a doctor named Qian at the pharmacy in town, right? Why doesn't the owner just take someone there to take a look?"

"—Sigh!" the shopkeeper sighed, "That was what I originally thought, but that brat absolutely refused! He said there were too many people coming and going from the pharmacy, and he didn't want outsiders to know about his situation, afraid of losing face!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuchuan could understand.

For a man, erectile dysfunction is indeed a very shameful and difficult-to-talk-about problem.

Jiang Yuchuan thought for a moment and said to the shop owner, "I happen to be free tomorrow. If it's convenient for you, you can bring someone over. As for whether it can be cured, I dare not make a decision easily. Let's wait and see."

"Okay, okay, okay! Thank you very much, Mr. Jiang! Don't worry, Mr. Jiang, I will definitely bring the person over tomorrow!"

To express his gratitude to Jiang Yuchuan, the restaurant owner waived the bill for him. No matter how much Jiang Yuchuan insisted, the owner refused to accept payment for the meal.

Seeing the shopkeeper's resolute attitude, Jiang Yuchuan had no choice but to put the money he had taken out back in his pocket.

On his way back, Jiang Yuchuan stopped by a shop and ordered a large quantity of paper, ink, and cinnabar for future use in drawing talismans.

When the shop owner saw Jiang Yuchuan, he was equally enthusiastic and even personally greeted him.

Upon hearing that Jiang Yuchuan wanted to buy such a large quantity of paper, ink, and cinnabar, the shopkeeper was beaming from ear to ear. Finally, when it came time to pay, he generously gave Jiang Yuchuan a substantial discount.

After leaving the shop, Jiang Yuchuan couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Grandma Sun is truly a wonderful person!

Thanks to her promotion, she saved herself a lot of money!

Jiang Yuchuan strolled along the road, and when he was almost home, he saw a little boy standing at the gate of the courtyard, looking around curiously.

The boy was short and thin, with skin tanned dark by the sun. His blue-gray cloth clothes were a bit old, but they were very clean after being starched.

Jiang Yuchuan immediately recognized the boy as Qi Tieshan, who had been bitten by a poisonous snake not long ago.

Seeing Jiang Yuchuan walking over from a distance, Qi Tieshan immediately picked up the basket beside him and jogged towards Jiang Yuchuan.

"Hello, Mr. Jiang!" Qi Tieshan stopped in front of Jiang Yuchuan, bowed, and handed him the basket he was carrying. "These things are for you, Mr. Jiang!"

"How is your recovery going?"

Jiang Yuchuan smiled and took the basket.

"After taking the medicine prescribed by Mr. Jiang, I'm completely cured!"

After saying that, Qi Tieshan knelt down with a "plop" and kowtowed deeply to Jiang Yuchuan.

"Get up! You child, why are you kowtowing to me for no reason!"

Just as Jiang Yuchuan was about to help Qi Tieshan up, he heard Qi Tieshan say earnestly:

“If it weren’t for you, sir, Xiaoshan would be dead long ago. Xiaoshan isn’t afraid of death, but if Xiaoshan died, his mother would be very sad, and Xiaoshan doesn’t want to make his mother sad. You are Xiaoshan’s savior, sir, so it is only right for Xiaoshan to kowtow to you! Xiaoshan is grateful to you for saving his life. When Xiaoshan grows up, he will definitely repay you!”

Jiang Yuchuan smiled gently: "Alright, alright, I accept your thanks. Get up now."

After Qi Tieshan stood up, he lowered his head and kept twisting and clenching the hem of his clothes with his small hands.

"gentlemen……"

Seeing that Qi Tieshan suddenly became nervous and awkward, Jiang Yuchuan asked, "Is there something else?"

Qi Tieshan remained silent for a moment before stammering, "Xiaoshan... can I learn medicine from you, sir?" Afraid that Jiang Yuchuan would refuse him, he quickly added, "Xiaoshan will be very obedient and serious! I won't make you angry..." As he spoke, his voice gradually lowered.

Jiang Yuchuan neither refused nor agreed, but instead asked, "Is this your own idea, or did your mother teach you to say it?"

Qi Tieshan suddenly raised his head, looking at Jiang Yuchuan with a firm gaze: "It was Xiaoshan's own idea! Mother didn't know!"

Jiang Yuchuan smiled slightly and said, "Studying medicine is very hard work. Not only do you have to go into the mountains to collect herbs often, but you also have to memorize a lot of books and learn a lot of knowledge. Once you choose this path, you will never have time to play with your companions again."

"Xiaoshan knows!" Qi Tieshan was not intimidated by Jiang Yuchuan's words and said firmly, "Xiaoshan is not afraid of hardship! Xiaoshan doesn't have any companions anyway, so he doesn't need time to play!"

Jiang Yuchuan smiled and shook his head, then walked straight home without saying anything more.

As Qi Tieshan watched Jiang Yuchuan's departing figure, he felt as if all his energy had been depleted, filled with immense disappointment and sadness.

Just as Qi Tieshan thought he had completely lost hope and turned to leave, he suddenly heard Jiang Yuchuan's voice coming from behind him:

"Go back and ask your mother. If she agrees, come to the courtyard to find me at dawn tomorrow."
