The next morning.

While Mo Yong-seol, who had suffered a lot the previous night, slept late into the morning, I thought seriously about the connection between arrhythmia and mental illness.

‘Could it be that arrhythmia causes madness in a person?’

If you suffer from vasovagal syncope, your lifespan will be shortened.

The mental pain caused by living with a limited time is indescribable, but physical pain also often accompanies it.

The pain of having one’s body torn apart.

If you just press the energy veins, it doesn’t matter since you won’t be able to use martial arts, but if this yin energy starts pressing down on the blood vessels, normal life itself becomes impossible.

A person can function only when blood circulates throughout the body.

However, if the blood does not spread throughout the body, it is not strange for that area to become necrotic or even lead to death.

To use an analogy for the average person, it would be like the pain of stubbing your little toe on a doorstep occurring throughout your body once every 15 minutes.

That’s the pain of ‘lowest point’.

In extreme cases, they are so distressed that they would rather be beaten with full force by someone.

Chills, vomiting, abdominal pain, etc., arrhythmia is a serious illness that causes all kinds of complications.

If you weren’t born with the natural constitution of a martial artist, or even if you were born with a healthier body than the average person, it’s an incurable disease that makes you think, ‘I wish I could just die.’

I knew that the patient was suffering from such pain, so I was aware that he was mentally distressed and having a hard time, but-

‘I didn’t know this kind of madness would appear, perhaps because I’ve been focusing on the theory of recruitment for the past three years.’

I didn’t know that mental pain could make a person go wild like Yoo Ki-yeon did.

‘It’s a delusional disorder.’

Knowledge about varicose veins has increased.

It felt like my existing common sense about arrhythmia was collapsing.

For example, in the case of the recruitment theory, a fairly ‘normal’ reaction was shown.

-You should eat, Miss. At least this….

-I’m not eating!!!

When I first came to the hospital, there was an incident where the maid threw away the porridge she brought, and it ended up spilling all over the floor of the hospital room.

-Ugh…!

-Oh, my goodness…! Miss…! If you won’t eat this…!

-Take care of this immediately and get out. The smell of the porridge alone makes the young lady feel like she’s going to die.

-Where is the new congressman Naburang going!! It’s been over 3 years since I took care of the young lady!

-Shut up.

A normal person would think that Mo Yongseol was just annoyed, but as someone who knows her physical condition, I could completely understand.

-The yin energy inside the young lady’s body is reacting to the yang energy of the bamboo and is destroying her body.

-Th, what is that…!

-How can someone who doesn’t even have a basic understanding of internal energy and martial arts be in charge of meals?

Not only was I unable to chew my food, but the porridge I had boiled to warm my body to boost my yang energy caused the yin energy in my body to run wild, causing pain that stabbed my blood vessels.

In the end, rather than cleaning up the corpse, the patient was moved and then fed cold food instead of cooked food.

It was a proper prescription, and he was quiet when I fed him that way.

There were more than one or two such incidents.

Although the theory of recruitment was done with the utmost self-restraint, who could be considerate of others when a person is in such pain that they feel like their whole body is about to break?

This is especially true for those who relieve suffering, and even more so for those who increase suffering.

So it was a little confusing.

I thought that breaking and throwing things, screaming, and yelling for everything to go away were typical aggressive responses from people with schizophrenia.

This was the first time something like Yoo Ki-yeon had happened.

‘But there’s nothing I can do about it.’

It’s the first time, but for the sake of the Mo Yong family and to protect my chastity, the ‘first trial’ must be done properly.

Phew.

Scatter the prepared herbs into a wooden bowl.

Sprinkle the powder of elixirs containing the appropriate amount of yang energy, including hasuo, and add pine nut powder for fragrance.

Ugh, ugh.

Chew rice with your mouth.

It’s not for eating rice or anything, but to collect the saliva that flows out of the mouth while chewing rice.

Ssuk.

Spit out the rice, there’s no need to explain the rest of the process.

Gather the powder and moisture and shape them into a ball shape.

Make a ball of medicinal powder the size of a finger joint, and immediately replenish the remaining moisture to finish the ball.

“Can I just eat this as is?”

Mo Yongseol comes up to me from behind and hugs me from behind.

The feeling on the back of my neck was soft and fluffy, and just like before, I wanted to lay my head back and sleep soundly.

“It’s no use to you, young lady.”

“Oh my, why?”

“It already has a stronger yang energy than that, and the warmth I feel behind me now is stronger than this single ring’s yang energy.”

“Huh, really…?”

Mo Yongseol rests his chin on my head and looks down.

“This single ring, that….”

“Delusional disorder.”

“Well, does it work on that girl, Yoo Ki-yeon?”

“Of course. …but I still feel a little uneasy.”

I took out a silver box from among the items placed next to the table.

“That’s….”

“This is the heirloom my teacher left me, a silver needle.”

Just as a martial artist always carries a sword, a doctor must carry a needle.

And this iron needle is a heirloom that my teacher, Ma Baek-myeon, left to me.

“Ugh.”

As soon as he sees Mo Yongseol in the sink, he panics.

“Why are you like that?”

“Ah, ahaha. It’s nothing….”

“Come to think of it, you tried to stab me with this before.”

“Ugh.”

Take out a needle.

Its tip is as thin as a hair, but if held in the hands of a master and stabbed in the eye, it would not only cause blindness but could also lead to instant death.

“I understand. You hit the exact spot where the yin energy is gathered.”

“That, that time…!”

“I didn’t prick you, so that’s okay. Thanks to that, I realized that acupuncture shouldn’t be used recklessly on patients with vasovagal syncope.”

I gently pricked the needle with my thumb.

“If you had endured the pain and been stabbed for no reason, you might not be alive now.”

“…Aren’t you just saying too many nice things?”

“If a patient reacts badly to a particular treatment, it means that the treatment is not right for them. If you don’t tell them that, you’re actually killing them.”

I gently rubbed my head back.

“Thanks to you running at me with a spit in your mouth and screaming ‘It hurts’ so loudly, I was able to save you instead of tormenting or killing you.”

“…Well, it turned out to be the right treatment, right?”

Mo Yongseol gently stroked my neck with his hand.

“You pierced the girl’s body with the thickest and largest needle of all, so wouldn’t it be right for you to treat me with acupuncture?”

“And you can also breathe in yang energy through that needle?”

“It was a little painful at first, but after the pain started to subside, the pleasure got stronger with each thrust?”

“Then this silver needle didn’t hit.”

After pulling out the needle that pricked my thumb, I slowly rub a single drop of red blood toward the round, clumped ring.

“Wouldn’t the scent of blood be easily noticeable?”

“I guess you can tell. But you won’t think that it’s human blood, or the blood of a member of parliament.”

“But….”

“It’s okay. Fortunately, as a member of the medical party and your lover, I can exert some influence on the Mo Yong family and sort things out.”

I gathered up the short ring, then stretched out my right hand to the side and moved it as if an animal was walking.

“I would say it is mixed with the blood of a strong horse.”

“Blood of horses….”

“It’s horse blood.”

It’s not demon blood.

It will be real horse blood, and the Moryong family will regularly slaughter horses and extract their blood in order to deceive the true nature of the medicinal ingredients that go into Danhwan.

As if it were actually used in the extreme extreme.

“The only thing that can actually cure Yu Gi-yeon’s varicose veins is my bodily fluid. Especially…this one drop of blood that was tricked into using horse blood. ”

I lifted the red-dotted ring with a pair of iron tongs and placed it very carefully in the top-quality storage box I had prepared in advance.

“It seems like it’s exactly like the rumored Great Revenge.”

“It looks more awesome than the Daehwandan?”

“Ah, you said you’ve tried the Daehwandan yourself.”

Blacksmith Murong Tian went to Shaolin and received the Great Dan, which allowed him to become a dan master once every ten years, and fed it to Murong Xue.

That was about 10 years ago.

It was before the Demonic Cult knew that Murong Seol was a disease of the veins.

“How was it? Did you feel better?”

“They’re so tasteless, but they’re so colorful, you idiots.”

Murong Xue was openly reluctant towards the Shaolin monks.

“I confidently presented the Daehwandan to my father, but in the end, there was no difference, so I was severely beaten by my father, and for a while, I couldn’t hold my head up high. Shinseung.”

“It’s a new victory.”

I heard the story.

He is also the most guarded person.

“Is it by any chance related to Yoo Ki-yeon and Shaolin Love?”

“Yes?”

“As for the Geukyangjihwan, the ones who most vehemently deny its existence are probably the Shaolin Temple.”

The status that Daehwandan had in the martial arts world was like heaven.

A cure-all.

Except for the arrhythmia.

“But this is a single pill that can only treat arrhythmia.”

“That’s right.”

Only arrhythmia.

“…If the delusional disorder caused by arrhythmia could be cured, then it would be a different story.”

* * *

afternoon.

I went to work at the pharmacy, and behind me, Mo Yongseol was sending icy gazes at the others and preventing anyone from approaching.

“I’m sorry, Rep. Seok.”

The kidnapper of the self-inspection gate bowed his waist.

“As you can see, my daughter did this, so she won’t be able to cause any trouble.”

“Uh, um.”

As soon as I entered the hospital room, the first thing I saw was Yoo Ki-yeon, who had become one with the bed.

He just raised his head blankly towards the sky, and black ropes were wrapped around his entire body.

“Did you get your blood drawn?”

“How can I do acupuncture on a patient with varicose veins? If you do something crazy again, I will treat you like a dead woman, even my daughter. So I won’t dare say crazy things to you, doctor.”

“…um.”

Yesterday was a rough day for the kidnapper in many ways.

“I will prescribe you a prescription for a strong yang remedy.”

“Oh, oh…! That’s…!”

“No one knows if it will be effective or not. This is a combination of herbs tailored to treat Mo Yong So-jeo. The martial arts learned are different and the skills are different…”

“I just sincerely hope that Dr. Seok’s medical skills can cure all the women in the world. Please.”

“Then.”

The kidnapper stepped aside, and I took out the Extreme Yang Ji-Hwan directly in front of Yoo Ki-Yeon.

“…….”

As if she had heard some kind of warning, Yoo Ki-yeon opened her mouth without saying anything, and I put the short ring into her mouth.

Sarak.

Yu Gi-yeon put the pill in her mouth, and soon I poured water into her mouth so that she could swallow the pill as is.

“…….”

If you just wait quietly-

Shudder.

Very slowly, the moment Yu Gi-yeon’s fingers trembled.

“Congressman!!”

“……?!!”

Yoo Ki-yeon’s eyes and mouth widened, and a chill burst out from her entire body.

Mo Yongseol reached out and pulled me forward, and I barely opened my eyes to check the patient’s condition.

Swish, swish.

“…Huh?”

As if the skin was cracking.

Or as a pupa tells a fable.

Ssak, ssak.

As if Yu Ki-yeon’s body was breaking, her skin split open, and soon something white and fluffy began to reveal itself underneath.

“What, what….”

The kidnapper muttered in a trembling voice.

“What on earth is that, the polar opposite ring…?”

Towards me, in a frightened voice, even respectfully.

“What on earth is this incredible power of internal energy…? Seriously, is it the Banrohwandong…? No, what the heck is this…!”

“…….”

I don’t know.

What is this?

“Banrohwan…not to the east.”

Just look at the skin.

“Ban Ro-hwan… She looks like she might be a virgin.”

Yoo Ki-yeon looked to be around 20 years old.

“…….”

I looked at the theory of recruitment.

“…….”

ah.

I realized.

A sparrow can become a stork, but a woman who was originally a phoenix cannot transform into a phoenix.

Even if an ugly woman can become beautiful, a woman who was beautiful from the beginning was already beautiful, so there was no significant change.

“Ha.”

It’s done.

“A virgin who has returned home.”

The arrhythmia was cured.

With some, not-so-side-effects, side effects.
