"He's moving!"

Seeing Shen Tianhai's fingers move, who had been unresponsive, Shen Youwei's eyes widened excitedly!

Standing next to Shen Youwei, Wei Qing's eyes also widened in shock...

Earlier, when he was preparing the medicine, he knew it should be effective, but he hadn't expected such a rapid response...

Amidst their excitement, Shen Tianhai slowly opened his eyes!

"Dad, are you awake?"

Hearing such a joyful inquiry, he asked somewhat bewilderingly, "Youwei, what happened to me earlier?"

"It was like this!"

Shen Youwei calmed himself down and recounted everything that had happened.

After finishing, he looked at Hu Xiaobei, expressing his gratitude, "Dad, it was Hu Xiaobei, Doctor Hu, who woke you up!"

"Doctor Hu?"

Shen Tianhai, upon hearing Shen Youwei's words, looked at Hu Xiaobei with slight surprise!

Beforehand, when Shen Tianhai had awakened, the first person he saw was Wei Qing...

After seeing Wei Qing, he assumed Wei Qing had saved him, thinking Hu Xiaobei was just Wei Qing's assistant.

But now, having heard Shen Youwei's story, he realized he had been mistaken...

He looked at Hu Xiaobei carefully for a while and then said, solemnly, "Thank you, Doctor Hu!"

Hearing his thanks, Hu Xiaobei waved his hand, changing the subject, "No need for thanks, old sir. I want to ask, what exactly happened to you before? Do you remember?"

Hu Xiaobei knew that Shen Tianhai had fallen into a coma all because a wizard cast Witch Qi on him...

Hu Xiaobei was now eager to know why that wizard had targeted him...

"Doctor Hu, I really do not know what happened. I used to enjoy playing chess a lot, and that day, I invited a chess friend over whom I have a decent relationship with. He took a liking to a medicinal herb planted in my yard and wanted to buy it! But I refused at the time because I am particularly fond of that herb! After my refusal, his expression changed, and I don't remember anything after that!"

"Is that so!"

Hu Xiaobei realized the elderly man he encountered was likely a wizard!

He must have been interested in that herb...

Yet, Hu Xiaobei was curious why, after incapacitating Shen Tianhai, he didn't just steal the desired herb immediately!

Five minutes later, after inspecting the mutated herb thoroughly in the Medicinal Field, Hu Xiaobei understood the reason...

He didn't take it because it was about to mature!

"It seems that the wizard wants to wait for it to fully mature before taking it!"

Hu Xiaobei knew it was normal for the wizard to do so because the potency of a mature herb is much greater than that of an immature one!

...

Upon returning inside the house, Hu Xiaobei stated, "That mutated herb, I will have to take it away later! Otherwise, that villain will definitely come back for it!"

"Will moving it like this possibly harm it to death?"

Feeling his anxiety, Hu Xiaobei reassured softly, "Old sir, don't worry, that absolutely won't happen! I promise that once everything is settled, I will bring it back to you, safe and sound!"

"Good! Good! Good!"

After his agreement, Hu Xiaobei prepared to dig up the herb, but Wei Qing immediately blocked him!

Giving him a glance, Hu Xiaobei inquired curiously, "Elder Wei, is there something you need?"

"What Elder Wei ah, just call me Xiao Wei in the future! In front of you, how can I dare to call myself Elder Wei!"

Wei Qing had witnessed Hu Xiaobei's medical skills before, and so he had completely accepted him!

This was why he now held himself in such a humble manner!

This surprised Shen Tianhai and his son greatly!

Because they both knew very well that Wei Qing was a very proud person!

When Wei Qing asked him to call him "Little Wei," Hu Xiaobei's mouth twitched a few times and he said, "No, let's keep things separate. You are older than me, so you are a senior!"

"Then... all right! Let's not fuss about this. I just want to ask if I can become your apprentice?"

"Become your apprentice?"

"Yes! I don't mind paying tuition! I just want to learn medical skills from you!"

"Forget it!"

Hu Xiaobei decisively rejected him without hesitation!

"What's wrong? Am I not even qualified to be your apprentice?"

"It's not that! I just don't like taking on apprentices, and honestly, I am just an apprentice myself. How about this? Let's exchange contact information, and if you have any questions later, you can call me. We can exchange ideas and learn from each other!"

"This... okay then!"

"Alright!"

After they had agreed, Hu Xiaobei breathed a sigh of relief!

Hu Xiaobei knew that if he really took him on as his apprentice, he would probably be driven crazy by him...

"It's a case of one thing overcoming another, who would have thought that even the hot-tempered Wei Qing could be tamed by someone!"

"That's right!"

Shen Youwei and Shen Tianhai sincerely marveled as they watched Wei Qing behave obediently like a child in front of Hu Xiaobei!

They knew that if other somewhat famous practitioners of Chinese Medicine saw this scene, they would be stunned...

Because in the eyes of those doctors, Wei Qing was the kind of madman who only knew how to curse and would never bow his head...

...

At the Medicinal Garden, under their watchful eyes, Hu Xiaobei carefully began to dig up the mutated medicinal herbs...

Right from the start, Hu Xiaobei knew that the wizard had indeed targeted it!

Because on this mutated medicinal herb, Hu Xiaobei felt faint traces of Witch Qi...

Hu Xiaobei knew that this Witch Qi was obviously a mark left by the wizard!

"This is actually good! If I directly remove it, that wizard probably won't come here to bother Shen Tianhai anymore. But, it feels like I'm taking over a hot potato!"

As Hu Xiaobei muttered to himself, he narrowed his eyes!

Soon, Hu Xiaobei still decided to proceed with the plan and extract it. He knew that since he had already cured Shen Tianhai, there was already friction between them.

So it didn't matter to add one more issue!

The more debts, the less worry; the more lice, the less itch!

...

"Done!"

Two minutes later, after breaking through the soil layer and carefully digging it out, Hu Xiaobei smiled...

While Hu Xiaobei was so happy, thousands of miles away in that damp cave...

The wizard in the black robe shuddered in his cultivation, and the next second, a stream of bright red blood sprayed out!

"Good! Good! Good! Dare to touch the medicinal herbs I'm interested in, you're really something! No matter who you are, I will make sure you pay for what you've done!"

After this bitter growl, his black robe moved, and quickly, his long, bloodless arms extended...

Swiftly, he used those long arms to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth...

After wiping, he stood up expressionlessly...
