Elixir Supplier Chapter 410 An Unwilling Compromise

The eagle was soaring extremely fast. It soon became a small black dot in the sky.

There was not so much to do in the field when it was getting cold.

Less and less people came to the hills. Only those who herd the cattle and sheep came to the hills.

Therefore, Nanshan Hill became even quieter, almost deserted.

However, Wang Yao preferred to be left alone on Nanshan Hill.

It was not cold at all inside the Spirit Gathering battle array. It was nice and warm inside all year long.

Wang Yao was reading Treatise on Miscellaneous Diseases, and found an interesting case.

A drowning person was saved by a villager. He couldn’t remember who he was after he woke up, and started to talk nonsense all day long. He went to see a well-known practitioner in the village. The practitioner told him that he suffered form palpitation due to drowning, and he lost his soul. The meridians in his head was damaged, so he couldn’t remember who he was and had been talking nonsense. The practitioner gave him some herbs to settle his nerves first, then fixed the damaged meridians with acupuncture. The person stopped talking nonsense and gradually regained his memory after half a month.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.

“This case was similar to Chen Zhou’s case,” said Wang Yao.

He had another close look at the prescription.

The formula prescribed was called Ancient Temple Mind Settling Powder, which contained rehmannia, poria with hostwood, angelica, antler, golden cypress, and licorice.

Wang Yao wrote down the formula. He had already had some of the herbs, but needed to purchase the others, such as antler.

Then he did some research and found similar formulas online, but the components were different.

“I can try it on Chen Zhou,” said Wang Yao.

Then he called Li Maoshuang immediately. He gave Li Maoshuang a list of herbs he needed. Li Maoshuang promised to get the herbs for him as soon as possible.

Wang Yao collected some Frost Grass in the morning. He planned to brew a decoction in the evening for Sun Yunsheng.

Sun Yunsheng had been recovering fast.

Meanwhile, Wang Mingbao was chatting with Han Jia on the phone in Lianshan town center.

“Dr. Long came here a few times lately.” Han Jia told Wang Mingbao the news when they were chatting.

“What brought Dr. Long to the village?” asked Wang Mingbao.

“He asked the secretary about you and Wang Yao. Is everything alright?” Han Jia sounded a bit worried, because Dr. Long didn’t seem happy when asking about Wang Yao.

“Yeah, everything’s alright,” said Wang Mingbao.

“Did he cause any trouble to the village?” asked Han Jia.

“Not really,” said Wang Mingbao.

“That’s good.” He and Wang Yao didn’t care about Long Yunfei. They were in the Qi province, where Long Yunfei couldn’t reach. However, things were different in Qinzhou. It wouldn’t be too difficult for Long Yunfei to cause trouble to a village there.

Wang Mingbao told Wang Yao about Long Yunfei’s visits to the village in Qinzhou after he had hung up the phone.

“Thank you for telling me,” said Wang Yao.

“I hope he won’t cause any trouble,” said Wang Mingbao.

“He won’t dare to,” said Wang Yao.

Long Yunfei had already been regretting what he had done. If he caused any more trouble, he would live in regret for the rest of his life.

“What do you mean, Dr. Long?” asked an officer from the patent bureau.

“I mean, what is it that needs to be done in order to change the patent to be under another person’s name,” said Long Yunfei.

“Are you joking? You should know more than me of the importance of this formula,” said the officer.

“I know. But I want the patent to be under someone else’s name,” said Long Yunfei.

“This is going to be tricky. The purpose of patent is to protect the inventor. The inventor’s information is very important. Why do you want to change it now?” asked the office.

“Don’t worry about it. Can I just give my right to someone else?” asked Long Yunfei.

“Of course you can. But you won’t get any benefit out of it,” said the officer.

“I know,” said Long Yunfei.

Long Yunfei cared more about his health at this moment. He was almost certain that Wang Yao had caused all his health problems. Long Yunfei had been busy in the last few days. Because the spreading of the contagious disease had been controlled, and the medication curing the disease had been invented, the village was no longer isolated. Long Yunfei had been to the village several times. He realized that Wang Yao was actually an extraordinary doctor after speaking to a number of villagers. Most of the sick villagers had been cured by Wang Yao. In addition Wang Yao had provided Chen Jingzhi another medication, which was even more effective in treating the disease than the formula he gave to Long Yunfei.

An extraordinary doctor could save people as well as harm them.

“I need to know to whom do you want the patent to be transferred?” asked the officer. 

Long Yunfei then provided the officer with Wang Yao’s contact details, which he obtained from the local health department. Wang Yao had provided his information when being put into quarantine.

“All done,” said the officer.

“How long does it take to process my request?” asked Long Yunfei.

“It won’t take long. I’ll call you once it’s completed,” said the officer.

“Please process it as soon as possible,” said Long Yunfei.

“No problem,” said Long Yunfei.

Long Yunfei left the bureau after he had completed all the paperwork.

“Why does he want to transfer the patent to someone else when he could make a lot of money out of the formula?” murmured the officer.

“What? Dr. Long, what do you mean? We have a signed contract,” said the manager from Tongkang Pharmaceuticals.

“I know. I will pay the penalty,” said Long Yunfei.

“Well, can you tell me why? Is it because another company is willing to pay a high price? We can renegotiate the price,” said the manager.

“No, I have transferred the patent of the formula to someone else,” said Long Yunfei.

“Who? Your son?” asked the manager.

“No, someone else,” said Long Yunfei.

“Can you give me the person’s contact details?” asked the manager.

…

Ding! Om!

Wang Yao’s phone was showing a strange number.

From Qinzhou?

“Hello, Is that Mr. Wang Yao?” asked the person on the phone.

“Hello, yes, Wang Yao speaking. May I ask who is calling?” said Wang Yao.

“I’m from Tongkang Pharmaceutical. My surname is Ning,” said Mr. Ning from Tongkang.

“Hello, how can I help you?” asked Wang Yao.

“Well, I want to purchase the patent of a herbal formula from you,” said Mr. Ning.

“Herbal formula?” Wang Yao was dazed for a second, but immediately knew what was going on.

“Did Long Yunfei give you my contact number?” asked Wang Yao.

“Yes. He said he has transferred the patent of the formula to you and has completed all the paperwork required,” said Mr. Ning.

“Oh, I see.” Wang Yao was a bit surprised. What made him change his mind?

“Sorry, can you give me some time to think about it?” said Wang Yao.

“Okay. You can contact me anytime on this number. I’m available to answer your call 24/7,” said Mr. Ning.

“Okay, thanks,” said Wang Yao.

Interesting.

Wang Yao hung up the phone and then closed the book he was reading.

It looks like he hasn’t got any other ways to keep the formula.

Long Yunfei didn’t have any other ways indeed.

He had seen all the medical experts in the province. No one was able to make him better. Therefore, he had to give up the ownership of the formula.

Of course it was just a temporary measure. He had planned to go to Beijing. He had already contacted his friend there.

“If I am cured, I will make you pay back. If not, I just have to let it go,” murmured Long Yunfei.

“Is he a reliable doctor?” asked a woman in her 50’s.

“A lot of people outside the village came to see him. Some villagers had also gone to see him. I heard he’s pretty,” said her friend.

“Okay, I’ll go and see him,” said the woman.

The woman in her 50’s came to Wang Yao’s clinic. She knocked at the door, but no one answered.

“What’s going on? He’s gone to Nanshan Hill again?” murmured the woman.

“Probably. I heard he normally stays overnight on Nanshan Hill. Maybe he hasn’t left yet,” said her friend.

“Let’s go back first. Tell his mother that he should stay in the clinic if he takes his patients seriously. It’s not good to waste his patients’ time,” said the woman.

Wang Yao didn’t leave Nanshan Hill until it was close to lunch time. He went back home first.

“Have you been on the hill in the morning?” asked Zhang Xiuying.

“Yeah, why?” said Wang Yao.

“Someone from the village went to the clinic, but you were not there,” said Zhang Xiuying.

“What did you say to the person?” asked Wang Yao.

“I’ve asked her to go back to the clinic in the afternoon,” said Zhang Xiuying.

“I see. I was going to stay in the clinic in the afternoon.” said Wang Yao. He thought he might have a patient or two looking for him.

“Yao, make sure you talk nicely to the seniors in the village,” said Zhang Xiuying.

“I will, Mom,” said Wang Yao.

He bumped into people living in the village all the time. No one would risk jeopardizing the relationship with people from the neighborhood for no good reason. Wang Yao was always polite to the other villagers.

He went back to the clinic after lunch.

He did meditation for a short while.

The woman in her 50’s came back to the clinic with her daughter around 1pm.

“Good afternoon, ma’am. Good afternoon, Miss” said Wang Yao.

“Hello, Yao,” said the woman.

“Please come in,” said Wang Yao.

He invited the woman and her daughter into the clinic with a smile.

It was the woman in her 50’s wanting to see Wang Yao. She had been having stomach pain, low fever, and acid reflux following each meal. She also tended to burp a lot. Her family initially didn’t want her to see Wang Yao. They took her to the town hospital. The doctor from the hospital said she had too much acid in her stomach. Nothing else had been detected. The doctor prescribed some medication for her to take at home. However, her condition didn’t get any better after taking the medication for several days. On the contrary, her condition had gotten worse. Coincidentally, someone mentioned Wang Yao to her, so she came to Wang Yao’s clinic.

“Let me take a look at you,” said Wang Yao.

According to the woman’s look and the smell coming from her mouth, Wang Yao concluded that her organs were in disorder, and she had damp heat inside her body.

Wang Yao then checked her pulse.

“Ma’am, have you been eating a lot of seafood, such as fish?’ asked Wang Yao.

“Yes. Did you know that there is a new fish shop in town? All the fish in the shop are very fresh. I go there often,” said the woman, smiling.

“I see. The issue is that you have a damp heat inside your body, which hasn’t been expelled. As a result, your organs are in disorder. Please try not to eat seafood such as fish, otherwise your condition will get worse,” said Wang Yao. 

“So I’m fine now?” asked the woman.

“Not yet, I need to regulate your body. Please stop eating seafood for now,” said Wang Yao. “I’ll give you some herbs.”

Wang Yao grabbed some astragalus, sophora, and loosestrife, and packed them up.

“Take the herbs for 10 days to expel the damp heat out of your body. You must not eat seafood during the days you take herbs,” said Wang Yao.

“Oh, I see. How much much should I pay you?” asked the woman.

“Two hundred yuan,” said Wang Yao.

The woman and her daughter frowned.

Wang Yao almost made no profit out of the treatment fee, let alone that these herbs were not available in a lot of herb stores. However, two hundred yuan was still a high cost for the villagers. Normally it would only cost from just over ten yuan to tens of yuan to treat common illnesses such as a headache and cold. It was considerate expensive to pay over one hundred yuan for medical treatment of common illnesses.

“Can I take five days of herbs to start?” asked the woman.

“Okay,” said Wang Yao with a smile.

The woman and her daughter left the clinic with a package of herbs after they made payment.
