The life force within a person's body is like a cup of water.
Over decades of life, a little is lost, and a little more.
There is simply no place for it to regenerate within the body.
This is why aging and death are natural laws.
Because no one can avoid them!
Even martial artists are only longer-lived than ordinary people because their life force is vigorous.
But ultimately, death is unavoidable.
However, according to Shi Zhenxiang, he can stimulate the regeneration of life force?
And he has had similar cases before?
This made Zhou Yu doubt the authenticity of his claims!
Seeing Shi Zhenxiang quickly write out the prescription with two strokes and hand it to Uncle Jie Er.
"Go decoct the medicine, and I'll tell you how to use it after it's ready."
Shi Zhenxiang's prescription had one part for drinking and another for bathing.
It seemed like a traditional ancient medical treatment.
However, the moment Zhou Yu saw the prescription, he sensed something was wrong.
Seeing Uncle Jie Er gleefully about to take the prescription to make preparations, Zhou Yu stepped forward and blocked him.
"Wait, Divine Doctor Shi, isn't this prescription a bit inappropriate?"
Zhou Yu's expression was solemn and extremely vigilant, his gaze on Shi Zhenxiang filled with a hint of probing.
Shi Zhenxiang was packing up his medical kit.
Upon hearing Zhou Yu's words, he immediately frowned, his brow furrowed as if bearing a terrible hoof print.
"Who are you?" Shi Zhenxiang asked rudely.
Uncle Jie Er by his side immediately became anxious, stepping forward and bowing obsequiously to Shi Zhenxiang.
"Divine Doctor Shi, please don't mind. This person is just a charlatan."
"It's just that my Jie Yu and Shi Shi are too young and were deceived by a charlatan, insisting on keeping him here."
Uncle Jie Er's words slightly softened Shi Zhenxiang's expression.
He let out a snort, sizing up Zhou Yu from head to toe.
"Well, don't let him disrupt my treatment here."
"Yes, yes."
Uncle Jie Er immediately replied, then turned to Zhou Yu and said without courtesy, "Did you hear that? Behave yourself, get out of here, and don't disturb Divine Doctor Shi!"
Zhou Yu frowned.
But the gazes of Uncle Jie Er and Shi Zhenxiang inside the room made him feel uncomfortable.
So Zhou Yu just sneered and walked outside.
Meanwhile, Uncle Jie Er was still by Shi Zhenxiang's side explaining.
"I am truly sorry, my two juniors are just ignorant!"
Shi Zhenxiang waved his hand: "It's fine, my magnanimity is not that small, hurry and go decoct the medicine."
Uncle Jie Er beamed, turning to Jie Yu and saying, "See? Divine Doctor Shi is so magnanimous. You two should be more mindful."
After lecturing Jie Yu, Uncle Jie Er scurried off to prepare the herbs.
Jie Yu was indifferent to Uncle Jie Er's attitude.
He was just a grasshopper after autumn, he wouldn't be able to hop for much longer.
But Zhou Yu's reaction just now made Jie Yu care greatly.
At this moment, Jie Yu really wanted to chase after him and ask Zhou Yu what was wrong with the prescription!
However, he knew very well that if he left, Jie Shi Shi would also not stay.
If Shi Zhenxiang were left alone with Old Master Jie, who knew what would happen.
Jie Yu couldn't leave for now!
Thinking of this, Jie Yu gave Jie Shi Shi a look.
The siblings had grown up together since childhood.
Jie Shi Shi immediately understood and quietly withdrew from the room, chasing after Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu was now outside, looking at the mountains and water in the Jie family courtyard.
"Divine Doctor Zhou, I apologize for earlier. My second uncle trusts Shi Zhenxiang too much."
Jie Shi Shi's clear voice rang out.
Zhou Yu didn't turn around, just waved his hand: "It's nothing."
"Divine Doctor Zhou, can you tell me what was wrong with the prescription Shi Zhenxiang wrote earlier?" Jie Shi Shi inquired.
The Shi family started their business in medicine, so among the entire family, except for the unlearned Uncle Jie Er, everyone else had some understanding of prescriptions.
Jie Shi Shi hadn't noticed any problems with a quick glance.
Presumably, Jie Yu hadn't either.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have been Zhou Yu speaking out just now, but Jie Yu!
Zhou Yu looked at Jie Shi Shi's eager desire to learn, and although he initially didn't want to say anything, he softened.
Although Jie Shi Shi wasn't a great beauty, compared to someone like Su Yu Yan, she was rather unremarkable.
Jie Shi Shi was more like a lively and cute girl next door.
Who could resist such a plea?
Zhou Yu had no choice but to explain: "Life force cannot be regenerated. I just looked at the prescription, and most of the herbs are for stimulating the body."
"These herbs can indeed make someone wake up and recover their temporary state in a short period."
"But this period is very short, and it comes at the cost of consuming the body's original life force!"
In other words.
Old Master Jie only had half a cup of water left in his body.
Now, Shi Zhenxiang even wanted to consume this half cup of water to make Old Master Jie wake up, creating a false impression of recovery!
This false impression would be shattered before long!
After seeing the prescription, Zhou Yu finally understood what kind of person Shi Zhenxiang was.
To call him a charlatan wouldn't be entirely accurate.
After all, he did have some skills.
However, Shi Zhenxiang resorted to extreme methods to achieve quick results and build his reputation!
It should be known that ancient medicine emphasizes treating the root cause.
The effect is naturally much slower.
But as long as the prescription and method are correct, the body will recover more thoroughly than with symptomatic treatment.
But Shi Zhenxiang was doing the exact opposite!
"That serious?"
"No, I have to stop my second uncle."
Jie Shi Shi became anxious.
She didn't want to witness her grandfather's remaining meager life force being burned away!
So she turned to go and tell Uncle Jie Er.
"Wait."
Zhou Yu helplessly stopped Jie Shi Shi.
Jie Shi Shi looked at Zhou Yu blankly, confused, "Divine Doctor Zhou, this medicine will definitely harm Grandpa, why don't you let me go tell him?"
"If you go tell him, will it be useful?" Zhou Yu asked helplessly.
Jie Shi Shi was stunned for a moment, then honestly shook her head.
It wouldn't be useful.
Uncle Jie Er's attitude was very clear.
Whether he genuinely didn't understand or was pretending not to, Uncle Jie Er now fully trusted Shi Zhenxiang.
He would not allow any doubt from anyone!
Jie Shi Shi immediately deflated: "Could it be that we just have to watch that quack harm Grandpa's body?"
No wonder the Shi family, their long-standing rivals, would agree to send a divine doctor to treat Old Master Jie.
So this was what they were waiting for!
She wondered if Uncle Jie Er knew about this or not.
"You should discuss it with your brother first."
Zhou Yu reminded her concisely.
Jie Shi Shi's eyes lit up.
Yes, as long as Jie Yu believed Zhou Yu's words, he could stop Shi Zhenxiang!
In the entire Jie family, apart from the head of the family, it was Jie Yu who had the final say.
As long as Jie Yu spoke, Uncle Jie Er's crooked ideas would be useless!
