The man paused for a moment, then said, "If it's convenient, would you please come in and have the general manager take a look at his health?"

"Okay, lead the way."

Unexpectedly, the general lived on the same floor as her, and not far away. However, there were many soldiers guarding the entrance.

She followed the man into the ward, a private room. On the bed lay a pale, thin old man, about sixty-five years old.

Hearing the noise, the old man slowly opened his eyes. The man brought a chair for Xiao Nan and placed it in front of the bed, while introducing them.

"General Manager, this is Ms. Xiao."

Xiao Nan nodded to him: "Give me your hand, let me take your pulse."

The old man weakly extended his hand and said softly, "Thank you for your trouble."

"polite."

After taking her pulse, she frowned and said, "You have many hidden ailments, which have relapsed due to overwork, and your organs are declining."

"Ah, that's how it is when you get old."

"You're declining very quickly, unlike normal aging."

"Well, it would be best if it could be cured, but it's okay if it can't."

"Would you dare drink the medicine I brewed?"

"Given the current situation, what is there to be afraid of?"

"Okay, send someone to pick up the medicine from me in three hours. You don't need to drink much, just one bowl a day. It's just a bit bitter."

"Thank you!"

Xiao Nan got up and left. She returned to her room, which, like before, was a private hospital room.

After changing my clothes, someone knocked on the door and brought in a medicine stove and medicine pot.

Xiao Nan didn't let her leave; instead, he made her his assistant, to tend the fire and brew the medicine.

Apart from the tools they used, all the water and medicinal herbs were their own.

The young girl who was decocting the medicine was studying traditional Chinese medicine. She watched as the medicine pot automatically filled with water, and watched as Xiao Nan casually took out a fresh medicinal herb, tore it apart with his hands, and threw it into the medicine pot. She asked carefully.

"Doesn't it need to be planed?"

"Fresh is best. Shaving is for long-term storage, and boiling is to extract the essence of medicine, so fresh is naturally the best."

"I see. Does that mean fresh medicine is more potent?"

"more or less."

“I graduated from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, as did my grandfather; we both work at this hospital.”

"Why build a hospital so high? Patients need to feel the earth; the higher they live, the worse it is."

"This is temporary. If the water level drops, we will move it back."

"Ah,"

"Because of its high academic achievements, and because it can accommodate many people."

After Xiao Nan put dozens of different medicinal herbs into the medicine pot, it was almost full. She then gave the little girl some instructions.

"Bring it to a boil over high heat, then simmer over low heat. Call me after an hour and a half."

"it is good!"

The little girl looked at her with curiosity and longing: "Are you also studying Traditional Chinese Medicine?"

"Learned."

"Can you teach me?"

"What I learned is similar to what you learned."

"Then why can you cure the general's illness, but my grandfather can't?"

“Your grandfather didn’t have any medicinal herbs like me.”

Is the problem with the medicine?

Xiao Nan smiled, didn't respond, got up and walked out. There were no sick people on this floor; most of the residents were government officials.

On the upper floors, some patients occasionally come out for a walk to clear their heads.

It was quite quiet. Looking at the sorrow on their faces, Xiao Nan knew that this disaster had caused deep harm to people.

She paced back and forth in the corridor, not intending to go upstairs.

There are doctors above; as long as it's not a terminal illness, they can cure it. It doesn't matter whether I'm there or not.

When you reach a certain age, you should go when it's time to go. She won't fight death for you; it's pointless. Even if you suffer all kinds of pain, you won't live a few more days.

Just then, the man approached her and said, "Some of the old traditional Chinese medicine doctors here would like to have a chat with you, would you mind?"

"No need. What I learned is similar to what they learned. The only difference is that I have the special ability you mentioned, which gives me an advantage in treating patients."

"I see."

"Go back to them. There's no point in communicating. I'll stay here and only handle the transactions and what you've told me."

"I see that they take their medicine twice a day, why do you only take it once a day?"

"First, my medicine is more potent than ordinary medicine. Second, his body cannot withstand the effects of the medicine, so we must proceed slowly. Large doses of medicine will not only not benefit him, but will also overwhelm his body, similar to being unable to tolerate strong tonics."

"Understood,"

"I will gradually increase the dosage when he can tolerate it."

"Good work."

Xiao Nan nodded. The man didn't leave. He said, "Would you like me to show you around here?"

"No need, there's nothing to see. I'm going back to rest."

"Um, if you can cure Zongli's illness, do you have any requests?"

"How about lending me 200,000 mu of land first?"

"I'll discuss it with the headquarters."

"Can"

Do you need it urgently?

"Yes,"

"Okay, I'll give you an answer tomorrow."

Xiao Nan nodded and went back into the house. The strong smell of medicine made her frown.

"Young lady, from now on, when you're brewing medicine, come to the door."

"Ok!"

She glanced at the little girl, then sat cross-legged on the bed to rest.

It's fairly bright here during the day, but at night it's pitch black and eerily quiet.

She was supposed to have meals delivered to her, but she refused, and after that, no one delivered them anymore.

The next day, the man came to her with a land deed: "Ms. Xiao, this is a land deed for 200,000 yuan. You can use it by filling in your name on it."

"Thank you. Next time you come to buy, just deduct the amount from here. I will give you double the supplies."

"That would be wonderful."

The man's inner thoughts were indeed as the boss had said: she was a loyal woman, and moreover, she could not only conjure many things out of thin air, but also possess medical skills, perhaps even more powerful ones.

Such people are people you can only befriend, not offend.

At the same time, she was also fortunate that she was from China; otherwise, China would have suffered heavy losses in this disaster.

After everyone left, she didn't write her name immediately. She waited until the little girl arrived, left five days' worth of medicine, and then told the little girl, "Don't bother me."

"Oh, what if it's something important?"

"Unless I come out myself, I won't come out no matter how much you call me."

"understood."

Xiao Nan locked the door, thought for a moment, took out the contract, wrote his name in the blank space, and immediately flashed into the space with the contract.

At this moment, the space was filled with swirling clouds and the ground was shaking. Instead of sitting cross-legged to receive the feedback from the space, she shouted loudly.

"Longlong, Longlong, are you there?"

She kept shouting until her throat was hoarse, but there was still no response. She collapsed to the ground, feeling utterly powerless.

Xiao Nan didn't believe that Longlong would disappear completely.

Her eyes were red, and this feeling made her want to cry. Losing anyone else had hurt her as much as losing Longlong.

This creature, though not a relative, felt more like one than a relative; it was deeply ingrained in her very being.

She doesn't trust her own kind, except for Longlong, who is always thinking of her.

Just then, a weak voice entered her ears: "Speak up, sit down and prepare to receive the empowerment. I used a lot of energy to find a suitable point for ice and fire, and I am very weak now. First, let the space advance, and you advance too. We'll talk about going back when I wake up."

"Okay, you get some rest. I'll wait for you to wake up."

Upon receiving Longlong's response, Xiao Nan seemed to perk up immediately and sat down cross-legged.

A golden light descended from the sky and entered her Baihui acupoint.

She slowly closed her eyes, relaxing her entire body to receive the energy transmitted from the space.

Ten days later, Xiao Nan slowly opened her eyes, two gray lights emanating from them. Her body was shrouded in gray mist, just like the dust under the hooves of a galloping horse.

Xiao Nan's appearance was incomparably holy. She stood up and smiled, gently raising her hand, a Daoist aura flowing through her.

He opened his mouth and called softly, "Longlong, wake up."
