Chapter 112 Life-saving medicine, run away in shock

After a moment’s reflection, Lu Qing began treating Madam Wei.

Seeing Madam Wei’s distress, she first gave her a few acupuncture treatments with silver needles.

After a few acupuncture treatments, Madam Wei’s furrowed brow relaxed slightly, and her face lessened in pallor.

Seeing this, Lu Qing nodded with some satisfaction.

His medical training, coupled with his advancement in martial arts, had given him a deeper understanding of the human body.

He had already gained considerable experience in acupuncture.

The immediate relief from these acupuncture treatments, which had slightly reduced Madam Wei’s pain, was proof of this.

However, this was only a temporary solution.

Madam Wei’s current condition couldn’t be cured with just a few acupuncture treatments.

Even with her condition, ordinary remedies wouldn’t be very effective.

Furthermore, given their current situation, it wasn’t advisable to light a fire to boil the medicine.

So, after relieving Madam Wei’s pain with acupuncture, Lu Qing pulled a jade bottle from the small medicine box in his backpack and fell into deep thought.

“Young Doctor Lu Qing, what is this?”

Young Master Wei was surprised when he saw the jade bottle.

As the son of a wealthy family, he might seem a little naive in his dealings with others,

but his knowledge of certain things was undoubtedly profound.

The jade bottle in Lu Qing’s hand was completely white and smooth, without a trace of impurities, like mutton fat.

He could tell at a glance that it was of great value, priceless.

If a jade bottle was so precious, how much more precious must the contents inside be?

“Here’s a precious elixir my master prepared,” Lu Qing said. “I’m considering how to administer it to Madam Wei.”

“Precious elixir?” Young Master Wei asked immediately. “Can it save my mother?”

“It should. Even if we can’t make Madam Wei recover immediately, it should be able to temporarily save her life.”

Upon hearing this, Young Master Wei pleaded, “Doctor Lu Qing, please save my mother. No matter how precious this elixir is, our Wei family will pay you double, no, ten times the price!” “Young Master

, you’re joking. Since I want to save your mother, I won’t be stingy with the elixir. I’m thinking about other things,” Lu Qing said seriously. “

Doctor Lu Qing, what else is troubling you?”

“Never mind, it’s fine.” Lu Qing shook his head. “I’ll administer the elixir to Madam Wei right away.”

Lu Qing had Young Master Wei straighten his mother’s head, then opened the jade bottle and carefully dripped two drops of the jade-colored liquid into her mouth.

Perhaps thirst, or perhaps it was an instinct for survival, but the moment the elixir fell into her mouth, Madam Wei swallowed it without Lu Qing needing to stimulate the acupuncture points on her jaw.

“Is that all, Doctor Lu Qing? How about giving my mother a few more drops?”

Young Master Wei paused, anxiously observing that Lu Qing had only applied two drops.

“Too much is as bad as too little. This medicine is precious, but it’s also potent. Madam Wei’s current health requires more than she needs, or it might even be harmful,” Lu Qing explained.

His words were half-truths.

The elixir was indeed potent, but the reason for not giving Madam Wei more wasn’t because she was too weak to take it.

Rather, he worried that if she recovered too quickly, it would spark unnecessary speculation.

In the jade bottle was a elixir he had recently concocted, following the records of the Earth Vein Spiritual Fluid from the Divine Talisman Sect’s tradition and after researching with his master, using

Earth Vein Spirit Fluid and other ingredients, including ginseng juice.

A single drop of Earth Vein Spirit Fluid, combined with a whole stem of century-old ginseng and other precious herbs, was enough to create three jade bottles of the liquid.

Lu Qing’s claim that this liquid was extremely precious was absolutely true.

Truly, a single drop was worth a thousand gold.

As for its efficacy, his master had also tested it.

While this liquid didn’t possess the miraculous power of directly ingesting Earth Vein Spirit Fluid, capable of bringing the dead back to life, turning bones into flesh, or significantly enhancing aptitude,

it nonetheless possessed the same tonic properties and powerful healing properties.

For an ordinary person, even one with only a wisp of life left, this liquid could sustain them and allow them to slowly recover.

The information his supernatural powers had revealed also gave the liquid a high rating, reaching the Red Light level.

Lu Qing prepared three bottles of the liquid, two of which he kept with his master and one he had recently carried with him, ready for emergencies.

This kind of elixir was incredibly precious, a true lifesaver, and he was reluctant to use it lightly.

Although Ma Gu’s shoulder injury was serious, it wasn’t life-threatening, so he hadn’t considered using it.

Had Madam Wei’s condition not been so dire, her life on the line, he wouldn’t have used the liquid medicine either.

Even if he used it now, he only intended to use two drops, leaving the rest to rest as Madam Wei slowly recovered.

Young Master Wei, upon hearing Lu Qing’s explanation, didn’t doubt it.

He understood the medical principle that a weak body cannot be nourished. His mother was indeed weak, and strong medicine wasn’t appropriate.

Understanding this, Young Master Wei immediately said to Lu Qing, “I’m sorry, Doctor Lu

Qing, I was too anxious.” “That’s alright, I’m just worried about Madam Wei’s health,” Lu Qing said with a smile.

In fact, he was still a little surprised.

Young Master Wei seemed to have changed considerably during their meeting, his temper far less arrogant than before.

It seemed that after all he had gone through, he had grown up and matured.

“So, Doctor Lu Qing, is my mother okay now?”

“After Madam Wei takes the medicine, her condition should improve soon. See, her breathing is much calmer now, isn’t it?” Lu Qing said.

Lu Qing remained confident in the potion he and his master had carefully prepared.

After all, according to his supernatural powers, the potency of the potion was truly potent.

Young Master Wei looked at his mother’s face and noticed that her breathing had indeed calmed down, and the sweat on her forehead had mostly subsided.

Most importantly, her once frighteningly pale complexion was beginning to show some color, making her look less frightening.

Young Master Wei touched his mother’s forehead and found it was no longer hot.

He was overjoyed and delighted. “Doctor Lu Qing, your medicine really is working! My mother’s condition has improved!”

At that moment, Young Master Wei truly believed that the medicine Lu Qing had prepared was truly valuable, and not just an exaggeration to inflate the price.

He knew his mother’s previous condition was truly dire. He

hadn’t expected that just two drops of Lu Qing’s medicine would bring about such a rapid improvement.

It truly could be called a miracle cure.

“The external evil within Madam Wei is being dispelled, and the inflammation in her wounds is improving. Let’s get some sleep. We’ll go outside first,” Lu Qing said.

“Okay.”

Young Master Wei was now completely convinced of Lu Qing.

After wiping his mother’s sweat, he and Lu Qing reached the cave entrance.

“How’s Madam Wei?”

Ma Gu asked immediately upon seeing them emerge.

“She’s fine now. She should wake up after a good rest,” Lu Qing replied.

“That’s good, that’s good!”

Ma Gu’s heart finally settled.

Madam Wei had been bravely escorted out by the Silver Moon Guards at the risk of their lives; even he had nearly lost his life in the process.

He truly didn’t want anything to happen to her.

“Brother Lu Qing, your medical skills are truly remarkable. You’re worthy of being Dr. Chen’s prized disciple,” Ma Gu praised.

“Don’t say that. It’s all thanks to the potent elixir my master prepared. When it comes to medical skills, I’m still far behind,” Lu Qing said with a wave of his hand.

Even as Lu Qing and the others waited for Madam Wei to wake up, they were

on the other side, in the waterfall valley where Lu Qing had previously fought.

Over a dozen powerful warriors gathered together, their faces grimacing as they gazed at the two corpses in the valley.

Suddenly

, a breeze blew by, and a white figure suddenly appeared in the valley.

It was a young man in a white robe, holding a feather fan, with a pale complexion.

“Second Senior Brother!”

The warriors, upon seeing the newcomer, immediately bowed respectfully.

“Why did you send for me so urgently? What’s the matter? Have Wei Xinghe’s wife and children been captured?” the white-robed young man asked.

“No, Second Senior Brother, it’s Third Senior Brother and Seventh Senior Brother. They’re all dead.”

Several warriors stepped aside, revealing the bodies of Wang Qingshan and the other two behind them.

“What?!”

The white-robed young man was shocked and hurried forward.

When he saw the bodies of Wang Qingshan and the other two clearly, his pupils constricted.

After a thorough inspection, his expression darkened.

“What a cruel method! One had his head chopped off, the other was killed by a piercing of the chest, and even the heart was taken out. Have you found out who did it?”

“No, when we found this place, there were only the bodies of our third senior brother and the other two in the valley. There was no one else.” A warrior answered.

The white-robed young man was silent for a moment.

In reality, he was deeply horrified.

He had assumed it was merely capturing the Wei mother and son, escorted by only a team of Silver Moon Guards, a simple task.

He hadn’t expected the third and seventh brothers to die in this nameless valley.

The seventh brother was a minor successor to the Inner Viscera Realm, his strength comparable to his.

With his strength, even if he faced a master of the Inner Viscera Realm, he could simply flee.

But he had just seen that the third brother’s hands had been crippled first, and then his heart had been ripped out.

He also showed signs of having unleashed a mystical technique.

It was conceivable that the third brother had unleashed his full strength only to be defeated head-on.

Yet, he hadn’t even sustained a single scratch.

To be able to so easily slay a master of the Inner Viscera Realm

, how powerful must that person have been?

Could it be a master of the Inner Viscera Realm who had reached the Perfection stage?

But how is this possible? Apart from Wei Xinghe, the Wei family should not have anyone else who has reached the perfection of the Inner Viscera Realm.

And it is impossible for Wei Xinghe to leave the Wei Mansion without telling his master.

And the scars on the third brother’s body are also a bit strange. They seem to be caused by some strange weapon, which does not seem to be the work of the Wei family.

Could it be that some other forces have intervened and want to get a piece of the pie?

Suddenly, an idea flashed through the mind of the white-robed young man, and he was suddenly shocked.

If this is the case, things will become troublesome.

“Second brother, what should we do now?”

Just when the white-robed young man was shocked, a warrior asked.

“What else can we do? Take the bodies of the third and seventh brothers and return to Cang County.” The white-robed young man sighed.

“Just go back like this? But we haven’t caught Wei Xinghe’s wife and children yet.” The warrior hesitated.

“What else can we do if we don’t go back? Someone who could kill Third and Seventh Brother in such a short time is beyond our reach. If we don’t retreat now, I’m afraid we won’t be able to leave either.”

The other warriors reacted with shock.

Indeed, if even a powerful Inner Visceral Realm expert like Third Senior Brother could be easily slain, wouldn’t that mysterious individual be able to deal with them with ease?

The thought of this sent a sudden chill through the warriors’ hearts.

They gazed at the surrounding forest with a hint of fear, as if some terrifying monster lurked within.

“Alright, hurry up and carry Third and Seventh Brother away, and we’ll leave.”

The white-robed young man, seeing he had frightened the others, breathed a sigh of relief.

After examining the bodies of Third and Seventh Brother, he completely abandoned all thoughts of revenge and simply wanted to leave.

He didn’t have a deep bond with Third and Seventh Brothers, so there was no point in risking his life for them.

Besides, their deaths might be a good thing.

At least, he’d get a bigger share of Master’s resources in the future.

I wonder what Master would think when he saw the bodies of the third brother and the other two.

Especially the third brother, he was Master’s adopted son, and their relationship was already special.

Now that the third brother was dead, I couldn’t imagine how furious Master would be.

The thought of facing Master’s wrath on his return

trip gave the young man in white a headache. He would have to carefully craft a story to confront Master on the way back.

Unbeknownst to Lu Qing and Ma Gu, the Tiancang Sect disciples searching for them had been frightened and temporarily evacuated the forest due to the deaths of Wang Qingshan and the other two.

They remained carefully hidden in the cave, waiting for Madam Wei to awaken.

Suddenly, Lu Qing heard a strange sound. Turning around, he saw it coming from Young Master Wei’s stomach.

Just as Young Master Wei was embarrassed, Ma Gu’s stomach also began to growl.

“Sorry, Brother Lu Qing, we haven’t had anything decent to eat in two or three days, so we’re very hungry,” Ma Gu said sheepishly.

Young Master Wei nodded repeatedly.

At that moment, he actually missed the rabbit meat he had last night.

Although it was raw, it could at least fill his stomach.

Lu Qing nodded to show his understanding.

People who practice martial arts have a big appetite, and it is really unbearable to not eat for a few days.

He took his backpack, rummaged through it, and finally found a package wrapped in oil paper and handed it to the two.

“This is some dry food that I originally planned to bring into the mountains for emergency use. If you don’t mind, you can eat some first.”

Ma Gu took the oil paper package and opened it without hesitation.

He saw a thick stack of fried pancakes inside. The unique aroma of grains made him swallow his saliva.

Young Master Wei, who was standing aside, also stared at the pancakes.

“Young Master, please go first.”

Ma Gu handed a few pancakes to Young Master Wei first.

Young Master Wei wanted to be humble, but he couldn’t stand the hunger in his stomach and took it with a slightly red face.

“Brother Lu Qing, we won’t be polite then.”

After giving Young Master Wei a few pancakes, Ma Gu no longer hesitated and began to eat them with big mouthfuls.

After a few bites, his eyes lit up.

“Brother Lu Qing, where did you buy these pancakes? They taste so good!”

Young Master Wei saw Ma Gu start eating and also took small bites of his pancake.

After chewing a few times, his expression also changed.

He felt that the pancake was delicious and fragrant, with a special aroma. The taste was surprisingly good.

“I didn’t buy it, but made it myself,” Lu Qing said with a smile.

He made this pancake based on some seasoning methods from his previous life, and added a spice he recently discovered.

It was a little different from the pancakes in this world.

“I didn’t expect Brother Lu Qing to have such skills. I didn’t invite you to dinner before, so I didn’t. It’s really a pity.” Ma Gu was a little annoyed.

“You can’t blame me for this. Every time I invited you to dinner, you said you had something to do and had to leave.”

“It seems that I really missed a lot of delicious food.” Ma Gu said regretfully. The

more Young Master Wei ate, the more delicious it was. He felt that he had never eaten such delicious pancakes in his life.

He couldn’t help but ask, “Young Doctor Lu Qing, what kind of oil do you use to bake this pancake? Why is it so fragrant?”

Lu Qing looked at the young master’s curious expression and remembered the scene when he first met him at the big market.

A sudden pang of mischievous amusement arose within him, and he chuckled, “This is baked in lard.”

“Lard?”

A creature flashed through Young Master Wei’s mind, and he instinctively felt a little uneasy.

He had never eaten anything from a pig.

But despite the discomfort, he couldn’t bear to spit out the food in his mouth.

Well, he’d already eaten raw rabbit, so what was a little lard?

After this self-consolation, Young Master Wei’s discomfort instantly dissipated, and he devoured the pancake even more voraciously.

“I didn’t expect food cooked in lard to be so delicious. It seems I was too prejudiced before.”

Lu Qing nodded slightly at this.

He could see that Young Master Wei had truly grown up.

The old him would never have said such a thing.

He remembered the young man’s scream of horror at the pile of pork and offal at the fair.

“Yes, pigs may look a little dirty, but if prepared properly, pork is still a delicious delicacy,” Lu Qing said with a smile.

“Really? Then after we get out, I’m going to try your cooking skills, brother Lu Qing.” Ma Gu said expectantly.

“Haha, you’re welcome anytime.”

Although the pancakes Lu Qing brought were quite a lot, Ma Gu and the others only ate half full.

Young Master Wei even left one of his own, saying that he would leave it for his mother to eat when she woke up.

She had been in a coma for so long and hadn’t eaten anything, so she must be starving.

Lu Qing and the others naturally had no objection to his filial piety and acquiesced to his behavior.

So, after Ma Gu and the others finished eating.

Another hour passed, and the three heard a whimpering sound coming from the cave.

Madam Wei, who had been in a coma for several days, finally woke up.
