The current situation was so obviously wrong that even a fool could tell. The young man had merely touched the husband a few times, and Doctor Zhang already showed a look of surprise.

More importantly, the husband's face, which had started to turn black, was now slowly returning to normal.

This young man was likely no ordinary person.

Madam Wang asked Doctor Zhang in a low voice.

"Madam Wang, it seems that Mr. Wang is not meant to die and has met a benefactor. He can be saved, he can be saved now." Doctor Zhang laughed, masking his shock. He had underestimated this young man, not expecting to have misjudged him.

The ancients were right; one cannot judge a person by their appearance!

He had treated the patient for so long without identifying the true cause of the illness, but the other party had found the root cause with just a glance and even provided treatment.

One cannot underestimate the young people of today.

Now that he knew the root cause of the illness, he had a way to treat it. Although removing the yin poison was extremely troublesome, he could still treat it.

Doctor Zhang gave Su Jiu a deep look, his eyes filled with gratitude.

This young man was no simple person. He had immediately identified the yin poison, but did not treat it himself, only providing emergency care, and then let Doctor Zhang take over. From the techniques used, it was clear that the young man knew it was yin poison and could have treated Mr. Wang.

This young man was giving him a way out. If a patient he couldn't treat was cured by a young man in his clinic, his family's century-old reputation would be ruined.

"Little brother, thank you! My sister-in-law was not careful with her words just now. If I offended you in any way, please forgive me." The woman, hearing Doctor Zhang's words, was straightforward and directly admitted her mistake to Su Jiu.

"It's nothing, nothing. It was just a small effort." Su Jiu said humbly.

"Uncle, I want to buy some Sun-shielding Spiders. Do you have any left?" Su Jiu then turned to the insect seller and asked.

"Yes, yes!" At this point, the insect seller finally reacted and quickly answered Su Jiu.

"Little brother, please wait here. I'll go home and get them. How many do you need?" In the insect seller's eyes, Su Jiu was now a great doctor.

He naturally treated him with respect.

"However many you have, I'll take them all."

"Um..." The insect seller was momentarily speechless upon hearing Su Jiu's words.

Su Jiu immediately understood the situation and said with a smile.

"Just charge me the same price you charged Mr. Wang. Uncle, don't worry, I won't let you lose out."

"Alright! Little brother, please wait a few minutes. I'll go right now." The insect seller was indeed in a dilemma. A Sun-shielding Spider was priced at 800 yuan, and he had dozens at home. This was a deal worth tens of thousands of yuan, not a small amount. If Su Jiu only wanted one or two, he could offer a discount or even give them away, as the young man had helped him earlier.

If Madam Wang remembered this, it would be a trouble for him. But Su Jiu wanted so many at once, and he felt it was inappropriate to charge too high a price. However, he relied on this for a living, so he was hesitant.

After an hour or two, Su Jiu boarded the last bus to Chen Family Village.

On the bus, Su Jiu held a large cloth bag in his arms, filled with jars containing Sun-shielding Spiders.

He hadn't expected that what he originally planned to take two or three days to accomplish was done in just one day. His luck was quite good.

After the transaction with the insect seller, Su Jiu prepared to return to Chen Family Village.

He left his phone number with Doctor Zhang and Madam Wang.

Declining their enthusiastic invitations, he left the clinic.

Recalling their grateful expressions, Su Jiu smiled to himself. He didn't take it to heart and quickly put it out of his mind. What Su Jiu was thinking about now was the Ox God Cave in Chen Family Village.

Su Jiu didn't know that this impromptu action today would help him through a crisis in the future.

But that's a story for another time.

After a few hours of bumpy travel, he finally arrived at Chen Family Village.

It was already dark.

He called Chen Jie and contacted Uncle Three. Su Jie was still handling his grandparents' funeral, which would last several days and go on all night. It was not convenient for Su Jiu to stay there.

So Uncle Three offered to let Su Jiu stay at his house.

As night fell, Chen Family Village gradually became quiet. Apart from the noise and firecrackers from Chen Jie's house, only the sounds of insects could be heard.

Su Jiu was not sleeping. Although it was already evening, he still had some preparations to make.

Chen Jie's funeral would last two more days, meaning he would go to the Ox God Cave in two days.

It seemed he had plenty of time, and he had already bought the necessary items.

But for Su Jiu, time was still tight.

Su Jiu looked at the 35 jars on the table.

These were the Sun-shielding Spiders he had bought from the insect seller.

Indeed, Su Jiu still needed to use his consciousness to refine these 35 Sun-shielding Spiders.

According to Uncle Three's description, the Ox God Cave was bottomless and had many branches.

He needed to be fully prepared before entering the Ox God Cave.

So Su Jiu decided to start refining the 35 Sun-shielding Spiders that night.

Su Jiu took a deep breath, opened one of the jars, closed his eyes, and began to mobilize the thoughts in his mind.

The energy in his body surged rapidly.

The Sun-shielding Spider was a special insect.

Su Jiu chose it because it was very similar to another insect from ancient times.

In ancient times, witchcraft could be considered the predecessor of feng shui. Since the time of Yan and Huang, when the Nine Heavens Mystic Lady passed down the feng shui tradition, the content of feng shui was established.

The content recorded on the golden compass in his mind could be considered the most complete feng shui tradition in history.

The Sun-shielding Spider was very similar to an insect from ancient times called the Seeker Bug.

This was why Su Jiu chose to use his consciousness to control the Sun-shielding Spiders.

He didn't know what was in the Ox God Cave, and to ensure his safety, he made these preparations.

The structure of the Sun-shielding Spider was very special, with front legs resembling a scorpion and the back half like a spider.

When Su Jiu's consciousness extended into the jar, the appearance of the Sun-shielding Spider became clear in his mind.

"Everything is ready. It's time to begin!" Su Jiu took another deep breath and thought to himself.

PS: Second update. I've been adjusting my writing speed these past few days. I haven't written for about half a year. I'm gradually increasing my writing speed while ensuring quality.

Starting next Monday, I will resume writing 3,000 words per chapter, with a minimum of two chapters per day. I hope all the readers will support me. A new book is not easy, and this one even more so. I hope everyone will throw their recommendation votes at me.
