Last time, Wang Xiaoqiang used Wood Element Spiritual Qi to treat Xu's Mother, achieving only temporary effectiveness. Inevitably, two months later, Xu's Mother suffered a relapse. This showed that the vibrant Wood Element Spiritual Qi could only improve the function of the heart, greatly assisting patients with heart failure, but it was incapable of curing rheumatic heart disease.

Hence, Wang Xiaoqiang had to "change the medicine".

Inspired by a conversation with Elder Mo, he thought of using Fire Element Spiritual Energy.

Since the patient's disease was due to dampness invading the body and affecting the main organs, then Fire Element Spiritual Energy could be used to eradicate the dampness within the patient's body, similar to the therapy of cupping with fire, except that cupping was an external treatment while Fire Element Spiritual Energy was an internal one, and cupping treated localized areas whereas Fire Element Spiritual Energy treated the body comprehensively.

Once the Fire Element Spiritual Energy entered the patient's body, it could completely eliminate the dampness within.

The so-called "changing of medicine" meant replacing the Wood Element Spiritual Qi with Fire Element Spiritual Energy.

Having this idea, he walked over to the sickbed. Xu Yongqian followed him closely, like a little follower of Wang Xiaoqiang.

Xu's Mother lay on the bed with a pallid face, purple lips, and an oxygen tube in her nose. She was so weak she couldn't even speak, but she smiled weakly and nodded to Wang Xiaoqiang as a greeting.

Wang Xiaoqiang responded with a smile.

Then, he sat down on the small chair in front of the sickbed. This chair had been occupied by two doctors before him, one a renowned practitioner of Western medicine, the other a master of Traditional Chinese Medicine. However, both of them had been uncertain of completely curing Xu's Mother. Now, sitting on this small stool was a farmer.

The scene was somewhat comical yet filled Xu Yongqian with anticipation.

Without a word, Wang Xiaoqiang took hold of Xu's Mother's arm as if feeling her pulse.

His decisiveness and directness conveyed a thick confidence which, in Xu Yongqian's eyes, appeared even more dashing and substantive than Elder Mo's intricate words.

After taking hold of Xu's Mother's arm, Wang Xiaoqiang said nothing more and directly controlled the influx of Fire Element Spiritual Energy into Xu's Mother's body with his willpower. As he did so, his hands massaged Xu's Mother's right arm back and forth.

Xu's Mother, cold and feeble, suddenly felt a warm current emanating from Wang Xiaoqiang's hands, spreading rapidly throughout her body, bringing warmth and comfort to her chilled body.

She felt her body gradually becoming invigorated, particularly her heart that started to beat more smoothly and strongly under the warm embrace, her chest pain slowly disappearing, and the swelling and tension in her legs gradually easing...

Spiritual Energy was a priceless treasure. Wang Xiaoqiang was not a selfless person and was not willing to be completely altruistic. However, since he had already started treating her, he intended to do it thoroughly.

It was also a bold experiment; if Xu's Mother recovered under his "treatment," it would prove that Fire Element Spiritual Energy could cure rheumatic heart disease, an extremely important revelation for him.

Therefore, this time Wang Xiaoqiang did not skimp on the Spiritual Energy, continuously infusing Fire Element Spiritual Energy for two minutes and then injecting Wood Element Spiritual Qi into her heart for another minute until fatigue and hunger, which had troubled him before, surfaced again, prompting him to stop.

Fortunately, this time the sensations were not very intense. Still, they made him break out in sweat.

Xu Yongqian, who had been closely watching the treatment, saw Wang Xiaoqiang sweating profusely and asked anxiously, "Little Qiang, are you okay?"

Wang Xiaoqiang shook his head and said, "How is Auntie feeling now?"

Before Xu Yongqian could ask, Liu Yueying already exclaimed, "I feel much better!"

This loud declaration startled Xu Yongqian. Ever since Liu Yueying had been hospitalized with her illness weakening her to the point that she had been unable to speak clearly, she had not been heard talking for days. To suddenly hear her speak so clearly was surprising to anyone.

"Ah, my dear, you, you can speak..." In his surprise, Xu Yongqian's words stumbled over themselves.

"Nonsense, I'm no mute," Xu's Mother retorted as she removed the oxygen tube and, propping herself up with her hands, sat up from a lying position.

Hearing his wife's robust voice and seeing her sit up, Xu Yongqian looked stunned as if he were seeing an extraterrestrial.

"Stop staring like a fool, help me lift the blanket off..." Liu Yueying chided her husband.

"Don't, that'll make you catch cold..." Xu Yongqian cautioned prudently.

"It's alright, I feel so warm now I want to sweat..." Liu Yueying started to lift the blanket by herself.

"You can't just uncover yourself if you're sweating..." Xu Yongqian reached out to stop her.

"Elder Xu, it's fine, let's open it up!" Wang Xiaoqiang said to Xu Yongqian in a relaxed and casual manner.

Xu Yongqian nodded and then lifted the blanket off Liu Yueying's body.

Liu Yueying grabbed the pant leg near her thigh, pulled it up, and her two legs were exposed.

As the two legs were revealed, it didn't strike Wang Xiaoqiang as odd, but Xu Yongqian and his wife simultaneously exclaimed in surprise and then reached out to touch the legs:

"My, the swelling in the legs is gone!"

Ever since she fell ill, Liu Yueying's legs had always been swollen. Sometimes the swelling would decrease after taking medicine, though very slowly, usually requiring a week of medication before full subsidence. As her condition worsened, even medication failed to reduce the swelling, but now, in less than a minute, her legs had unexpectedly deflated.

Seeing this scene, how could Xu Yongqian not realize that his wife's illness had vanished, and moreover, despite the severity of the recent episode, his wife's strength and spirit seemed even better than the last time Wang Xiaoqiang had treated her.

Upon seeing this, Xu Yongqian was so excited and grateful that he could hardly speak, finally grasping Wang Xiaoqiang's hands and saying, "Little Qiang, I really can't thank you enough."

Wang Xiaoqiang said, "Let them all come in!"

After Xu Yongqian called out, his children entered through the door, their faces a mix of anxiety and hope, their gazes eagerly focused on their mother. Seeing her already sitting up from lying down, with a much healthier complexion and full of spirit, they both walked over quickly, surprised and joyful, and asked, "Mom, how do you feel?"

"Look at my legs," Liu Yueying said, as if to remind them.

Hearing their mother's loud and clear voice, the siblings were even more astonished and delighted. Their gaze immediately shifted to their mother's legs, and upon seeing the reduced swelling, disbelief crossed their faces.

"Mom, are you, are you really better?!" Xu Kunpeng asked his mother, and upon seeing her smile and nod, he turned to Wang Xiaoqiang, "Wang...uh, I mean, Mr. Wang, is she, is she really healed?"

"I can't conclude that for the moment. We need to observe it. If there are no symptoms in a week, then it would indicate a full recovery," Wang Xiaoqiang replied calmly.

"Ah! Then, do we need to continue treatment at the hospital..." True to being the provincial secretary, he was able to focus on crucial matters even amidst emotional excitement.

"I think she can stop taking Western medicine. For nourishing traditional medicine, a small amount can be taken," Wang Xiaoqiang suggested after a moment's thought.

"Uh..." Xu Kunpeng could clearly read between the lines; Wang Xiaoqiang meant that they could stop the medication, implying that his mother no longer needed drugs moving forward. Even as a high-ranking provincial official, he was overwhelmed with emotion and immediately seized Wang Xiaoqiang's hands, saying, "Mr. Wang, I really can't thank you enough.

I've had doubts about you before, and I apologize to you now..."

Wang Xiaoqiang wasn't in the mood to listen to his apology. He was feeling so hungry it was unsettling, and so he unconsciously pulled his hand away and said to Elder Xu, "Elder Xu, Auntie's illness still needs further observation. If she feels unwell, please call me. I'll take my leave now, sorry to be abrupt, but I'm suddenly very hungry and need to eat something..."

Upon hearing this, Elder Xu immediately said, "Kunpeng, accompany Little Qiang for a meal... Oh, and Little Qiang, you must stay in the Provincial Capital for a few days. There are actually many places worth visiting here. I'll ask Little Xue to take some time off to be your guide..."

"No thanks, it's quite busy at home." Wang Xiaoqiang decisively refused, "I plan on buying a car and heading back."

"Well, alright then!" Xu Yongqian sighed slightly disappointed, "Kunpeng, after the meal, accompany Little Qiang to buy a car."

"Dad, I understand," Xu Kunpeng crisply agreed. Walking out with Wang Xiaoqiang, they had only just left the hospital when his phone received a bunch of text messages. Pulling it out, he saw it was from his father - the message read: Kid, if you can find a way to gift Wang Xiaoqiang a car, then you would truly be Kunpeng!
