After Hu Huanhuan left, Duan Rong performed the Calming Needle technique on Shen Ping once more. Seeing Shen Ping fall into a deep sleep, Duan Rong finally went to the courtyard to practice his skills standing.
By evening, Duan Rong observed that Shen Ping's temperature was normal, and his breathing gradually became stronger.
"Seems like the illness hasn't relapsed, the remaining dose of medicine should not be taken," Duan Rong muttered after checking Shen Ping's pulse, tucking Shen Ping's hand back under the blanket.
The three doses of medicine he had prepared were indeed strong. Since the condition had stabilized, it's best not to consume more.
The next morning, after getting up, Duan Rong performed the needle technique once more to dispel wind and regulate qi.
By noon, Shen Ping unexpectedly opened his eyes. He stared at Duan Rong for a while, his breath weak, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Who are you?"
Duan Rong replied, "I am a disciple of Xiao Zongting."
