After a long while, Grandma Yun slowly woke up, feeling a blur of light and shadow before her eyes, and was momentarily disoriented. As her confused consciousness gradually cleared, she realized that she was lying on her familiar bed, and most of the pain and discomfort in her body had disappeared, replaced by the weakness and exhaustion of recovering from a serious illness.

She looked up and saw Bai Pingping and Xia Mu, strangers with concerned expressions, by her bedside. Her mind was full of questions: "Who are these two young people? Why are they in my room?" But when her eyes fell on her hands and she felt the long-lost warmth and vitality, she instantly understood—these two people had saved her.

Yun Luo, the head of the Yun family, paced anxiously outside, glancing frequently at the tightly closed door, his heart filled with worry and anticipation. Suddenly, a faint noise came from inside, followed by a maid's joyful cry: "The old lady has woken up!"

Yun Luo staggered and hurriedly pushed open the door. She saw her mother sitting against the headboard, her face still a little pale, but her eyes had regained their former brightness. Yun Luo quickly walked to the bedside, knelt down, took her mother's hand, and said in a slightly trembling voice, "Mother, you're finally awake! I was so worried about you."

Grandma Yun gently patted her son's hand, her eyes full of love: "My son, don't worry, I'm all better now, aren't I? Thanks to these two benefactors." As she spoke, she looked at Bai Pingping and Xia Mu.

Yun Luo stood up, turned to Bai Pingping and Xia Mu, and said solemnly, "The two divine physicians are highly skilled and saved my mother's life. The Yun family has no way to repay such a great kindness." After saying that, he clapped his hands, and immediately a servant brought forward a tray with a thick stack of silver notes and several precious jade pendants on it.

"This is a small token of the Yun family's appreciation, and we hope that you two divine physicians will accept it. These silver notes will ensure that you two have no worries about food and clothing in White Bird Capital. The jade pendant was specially made by the Yun family. If you have any needs in the future, you can bring this jade pendant to any of the Yun family's properties and you will receive their full assistance."

But Yun Luo felt that this was not enough to express his gratitude. He took out a black token with cloud patterns carved on it from his pocket and solemnly handed it to Bai Pingping: "This is the Yun family token. Seeing this token is like seeing me, Yun Luo, in person. If you two encounter any troublesome matters in the future, just show this token, and the entire Yun family will do everything in its power to help you, even if it means going through fire and water."

Bai Pingping and Xia Mu exchanged a glance, seeing surprise and joy in each other's eyes. Bai Pingping bowed slightly, accepted the token with both hands, and said, "We are truly flattered by Patriarch Yun's kindness. Saving lives is the duty of a doctor, and we will certainly continue to study medicine, treat the sick and save lives, and live up to Patriarch Yun's trust and reward."

Xia Mu nodded in agreement. Seeing this, Yun Luo smiled with satisfaction: "You two divine doctors need not refuse. If there is anything the Yun family can do to help in the future, please do not hesitate to ask."

Everyone inside was immersed in an atmosphere of joy and gratitude. Bai Pingping and Xia Mu knew that this token was not only a reward, but also a responsibility and a commitment. Their legendary story in the White Bird Capital had only just begun.

The two quickly bid farewell to the Yun family and prepared to continue their travels.

"Sister Pingping, what should we do next?" Xia Mu asked Bai Pingping.

“I’ll open a clinic in the capital!” Bai Pingping replied solemnly.

"Open a clinic?" Xia Mu looked at Bai Pingping in disbelief. "Sister Pingping, are you serious?"

"Yes, I want to open a clinic," Bai Pingping said seriously.

"No matter what Sister Pingping wants to do, I will accompany her," Xia Mu said firmly.

Bai Pingping had her own plans. Her purpose in coming here was to seek revenge. She needed to stay in the White Bird Capital to find out the whereabouts of her enemies, Wang Jing and Mu Wan, while also accumulating enough points as quickly as possible to exchange for a peerless divine skill and complete her revenge plan.

Without further ado, Bai Pingping and Xia Mu quickly got things arranged for the clinic.

With the generous assistance of the Yun family, Bai Pingping disguised herself as a man and set up a clinic. She chose a prime location in the bustling city of Bai Niao, a place with high foot traffic, making it convenient for people to seek medical treatment.

The clinic's architecture is simple and elegant, with blue tiles and white walls, flying eaves and brackets. Above the main gate hangs a plaque with the three large characters "Jishetang" written in vigorous and powerful characters. It was specially commissioned by Bai Pingping from a famous calligrapher in the city, and it symbolizes saving the common people and practicing medicine to help the world.

Stepping into the clinic, the courtyard is filled with various herbs, their fragrant aroma soothing the soul. The main hall is spacious and bright, with rows of neat medicine cabinets lining the walls. Labels on the drawers clearly identify the various medicinal materials. Several tables and chairs are placed in the center of the hall for patients to rest while waiting for their appointments.

Bai Pingping and Xia Mu were busy in the clinic, sorting and organizing the precious medicinal herbs they had collected from various places and placing them in the medicine cabinet. Bai Pingping also personally formulated the clinic's rules, stipulating that every patient should be treated equally, regardless of wealth, and that all should be treated with the utmost care.

On the first day of the clinic's opening, sunlight shone through the clouds onto the "Jishetang" plaque, making it shine brightly, as if heralding a new beginning. A large number of people gathered at the entrance, some seeking treatment and others just to join in the excitement, all filled with anticipation for this young miracle doctor who had cured Old Lady Yun's strange illness.

Suddenly, a commotion arose from the crowd. Several burly men hurriedly carried a stretcher, on which lay a gaunt old man. The old man's face was sallow, his eyes sunken, his breath weak, his cracked lips bloodless, and his body so thin that he looked like a gust of wind could blow him away.

Seeing this, Bai Pingping immediately went to help. Her eyes were firm and calm as she quickly directed the elderly woman to be carried into the inner room of the clinic. After the woman was settled, Bai Pingping sat by the bed, gently placing her fingers on the woman's wrist to carefully take her pulse. Her brows furrowed slightly, and the pulse was irregular and weak, sometimes present and sometimes absent, clearly indicating a very critical condition.

Bai Pingping inquired about the old man's symptoms and medical history from his family. She learned that the old man had been bedridden for several months and had seen many doctors, but his condition had worsened day by day. Now he could hardly eat or drink anything and was unconscious.

She remained calm, quickly reviewing her medical knowledge and similar cases she had encountered before. After a moment, Bai Pingping decided to use a combination of acupuncture and medication to treat the patient.

Bai Pingping first took out the Ghost Needle, disinfected it, took a deep breath, and began to administer the acupuncture. She first precisely inserted a silver needle into the Baihui acupoint on the top of the old man's head, her technique light and decisive. After inserting the needle three-tenths of an inch, she gently twisted it to stimulate Yang energy and awaken the unconscious man's consciousness. Next, she inserted a needle into the Tanzhong acupoint, a meeting point of Qi that regulates respiration and blood circulation. Bai Pingping carefully controlled the angle and depth of the needle insertion, using lifting and thrusting techniques to guide the flow of Qi smoothly. Subsequently, silver needles were inserted into acupoints such as Shenque, Guanyuan, and Qihai in turn. Each needle was imbued with Bai Pingping's superb medical skills and internal strength, stimulating the meridians and attempting to mobilize the faint life force within the old man's body.

During the acupuncture treatment, Bai Pingping closely monitored the elderly man's reactions. Once his breathing stabilized slightly, she continued with the next step of treatment. While instructing Xia Mu to prepare the medicinal herbs, she used her fingers instead of needles to massage acupoints such as Zusanli and Sanyinjiao on the elderly man's feet to promote the digestion and absorption of qi and blood.

Xia Mu quickly brought over the prepared medicine. This medicine was carefully formulated by Bai Pingping according to the old man's condition, mainly using ginseng and astragalus to replenish qi, supplemented with poria and atractylodes to strengthen the spleen and remove dampness, and several other herbs to clear the meridians and open the orifices. Bai Pingping personally fed the old man the medicine, each spoonful was fed slowly and carefully, for fear that the old man would choke.

After the patient took the medicine, Bai Pingping continued to administer acupuncture to the elderly man. This time, she focused on stimulating acupoints on the Kidney and Heart meridians, such as Yongquan and Shenmen, to nourish the kidney qi, calm the mind and spirit, and enhance the body's fundamental functions and mental state.

Time passed slowly in the tense atmosphere. Bai Pingping stayed by the old man's bedside, closely monitoring his subtle changes. Finally, the old man's complexion gradually regained some color, his breathing became more steady, and his previously tightly closed eyes slowly opened as he weakly looked around.

The people inside the clinic gasped in amazement and cheered at the sight, deeply admiring the young doctor's medical skills. Bai Pingping, however, simply breathed a sigh of relief, a smile of satisfaction on her face.

At that moment, a strange man hidden in the crowd was staring intently at Bai Pingping. Xia Mu saw the familiar figure and hurriedly chased after him.
