AST 0131 – Recipe for the Five Dragon Pellet

“Sigh… they all said that my daughter was born innately weak, and doesn’t have much time left, and that there was nothing they could do.” The young married lady sighed. It seemed as though she had expected the same result. The only reason she came running over was to fight for a last chance for her daughter!

Qing Shui was not surprised. This little girl’s situation was similar to his own when he was younger, but worse. Qing Shui took another look at this young girl. She was exquisite and flawless as if a piece of nicely carved jade, and would make anyone take a liking to her. It was just that her eyes were tightly shut, and her pale face was scrunched in pain.

“I can cure her, but the child is still too young. I can only give her a slight treatment daily, and persist in doing so for a very long time. You’ll need to come by daily.”

As he said this, Qing Shui concurrently applied the Qi of the Ancient Strengthening Technique to soothe the girl’s meridian and blood channels on her head to change the state of her inborn weak constitution. It was too bad that the child was too young, and he could only soothe it ever so slightly.

“Really, you really can cure her? You’re telling the truth?” The lady said in surprise. It could be that she was too surprised that she unknowingly grabbed onto Qing Shui’s hand, and asked him in a panic.

Qing Shui nodded his head in affirmation!

The beautiful young married lady then realized that he was still grabbing onto Qing Shui’s hand and quickly let go. A patch of red dyed her makeup-free face, bringing out some alluring charm to her purity.

Qing Shui carried the little girl, while his hand seemed to be slowly caressing the girl on her back. The exquisite little face started to become rosier, and her pair of eyes with long lashes also slowly opened.

The crystal-like big eyes, coupled with the exquisite small face made her look like a doll. Her big eyes looked towards Qing Shui as they blinked. It was extremely cute!

Qing Shui smiled gently at the pretty little girl. He enjoyed carrying her in his arms. One would have to admit that this little girl was extremely likeable. Just that cute appearance alone would be able to conquer a whole group. Those who saw her would probably want to carry or tease her.

“The two of us really have an affinity!” Qing Shui said softly as he looked at the little girl.

“Alright, this will be fine for today. In the future, make a trip here daily. It would at most take half a year, and then she’ll be completely cured!” Qing Shui returned the girl to the lady.

The lady had initially not held any expectations. She had went to almost all of the clinics in the vicinity, but the reply she received was that only a Xiantian alchemist may be able to help her daughter. However, given that her daughter didn’t have much more time to wait, even if she was able to find a Xiantian alchemist, she may not necessarily be saved.

Under a state of desperation, she started to carry her daughter everywhere to look for clinics, hoping for a miracle. She started early in the morning before many clinics had opened, knocking on door after door, but the only reply given was either that it was beyond them, or that the doors remained closed.

Seeing her daughter’s vitality getting weaker and weaker, it was as if her own heart had sunk to the bottom of the valley. Despair, hopelessness, and grief tormented her. The grief was as if a knife was twisting in her heart, and she had a feeling which was worse than death itself.

She chanced upon the Martial Clinic which had just opened, and without a second thought, she entered, feeling numb from all the previous disappointments.

“Doctor, how… how much does it cost?” The lady received her child and asked, feeling unsettled.

Qing Shui could tell that she had problems, and smiled at her, saying, “I seem to have an affinity with this young girl, so you can forget about paying me! I also hope to see her remain healthy and happy!”

“How can that do? Doctor, just tell me the fee and I will pay, I will definitely pay.”

Qing Shui was touched when he saw the way she was acting, and he felt for her. “Then can you tell me how much money do you have now?”

“I have spent all my money over the past year, and even sold my house. But the happiest thing is for my daughter to be able to recover. I will try my best to find a job soon to earn money. Doctor, you can rest assured. You are my benefactor, so no matter what happens, I won’t delay the payment of your consultation fees.” The beautiful young married lady smiled gently as she spoke sincerely. Anyone would believe in that determined tone that no matter how tough or how tired she was, she would make sure to pay the money.

“You are a lady bringing your daughter and running about. Where’s your husband?” Qing Shui could not think of who would be able to bear to let such a beautiful lady like her go through so much toil and trouble.

“Him? Hah, he left me for a lady with power!” She laughed self-mockingly, and her gaze grew distant, as if she was thinking back on her memories.

“I’m sorry, I made you recall terrible memories.” Qing Shui smiled awkwardly.

“It’s nothing. I had forgotten about the existence of such a person until you brought it up. Thank you doctor, I will remember you!” After saying this, the lady turned and wanted to leave.

“You are penniless right now, and would be easily tricked by others if you were to head out with a young daughter to look for a job in such a state. Moreover, your daughter is still young. Do you have time to work?” Qing Shui said in a comforting tone.

The lady remained silent. To be honest, she was already on the lookout for a job. Those who were recruiting helpers immediately rejected her upon seeing that she had a child who could not leave her side. Those who had evil designs to recruit her were all rejected by her.

“If you don’t mind, you can follow me to the Qing Clan’s Medicinal Store. When you have time, you can help out with some simple chores. You can eat and stay there as well. This way, you will have a place to stay, and it will also be easy for me to treat the little girl. Half a year later, if you wish to leave, I will give you a sum of housing allowance. If you wish to stay, that would be fine as well. What do you think?”

In the end, she agreed. She would remember forever Qing Shui’s kindness to her. If there was a chance, she would do her best to pay him back for his kindness.

Seeing that it was noon soon, “Sister Mingyue, come, let’s go together. I’ll help you carry Yuchang!”
