After thinking for a while, Lu Qing began to treat Madam Wei.
Seeing that Madam Wei was in pain, she first used silver needles to prick her with a few needles.
After a few needles, Madam Wei's tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly, and her face was no longer so pale.
Lu Qing nodded with some satisfaction.
Through this period of medical study, coupled with the progress in martial arts, I have gained a deeper understanding of the human body.
He has already gained some experience in acupuncture.
The fact that these few needles had an immediate effect, reducing Madam Wei's pain, is the best proof of this.
However, this is only a temporary solution and does not address the root cause of the problem.
Madam Wei's condition cannot be resolved simply by giving her a few acupuncture needles.
Given her condition, even ordinary medicines would likely be ineffective.
Given their current situation, it is not advisable for them to light a fire and brew medicine.
So after giving Madam Wei acupuncture to relieve her pain, Lu Qing took out a jade bottle from the small medicine box in his basket and fell into deep thought.
"Dr. Lu Qing, what is this?"
Young Master Wei was surprised when he saw the jade bottle.
As the scion of a wealthy and powerful family, he may seem a bit naive in his dealings with others.
However, his knowledge of certain things is by no means lacking.
The jade bottle in Lu Qing's hand was pure white and smooth, without a single impurity, just like mutton fat.
He could tell at a glance that it was extremely valuable and priceless.
If a jade bottle is so valuable, what must be precious about what's inside?
“This contains an extremely precious elixir concocted by my master,” Lu Qing said. “I’m considering how to give it to Madam Wei.”
"An extremely precious elixir?" Young Master Wei asked immediately. "Could it save my mother?"
"It should be possible. Even if we can't make Madam Wei recover immediately, we should be able to save her life temporarily."
Upon hearing this, Young Master Wei immediately pleaded, "Doctor Lu Qing, please save my mother! No matter how precious this elixir is, our Wei family will definitely compensate you with double, no, ten times the price!"
"Young master is joking. Since I want to save your mother, I will naturally not be stingy with medicine. I am considering other things," Lu Qing said seriously.
"Doctor Lu Qing, is there anything else that's bothering you?"
"Never mind, it's alright." Lu Qing shook his head and said, "I'll give Madam Wei the medicine now."
Lu Qing had Wei Xiaogongzi straighten his mother's head, then opened the jade bottle and carefully dripped two drops of jade-colored medicine into her mouth.
Perhaps it was thirst, or perhaps it was the instinct for survival, but as soon as the medicine entered her mouth, Madam Wei swallowed it without Lu Qing needing to stimulate the acupoints on her jaw.
"Is that all? Doctor Lu Qing, should I give my mother a few more drops?"
Seeing that Lu Qing had only dripped two drops of medicine before stopping, Young Master Wei said anxiously.
"Too much of a good thing is bad. Although this medicine is precious, it is also very potent. Given Madam Wei's current physical condition, it is not advisable to take too much at once. Otherwise, she will be too weak to handle the nourishment and it may even cause harm," Lu Qing explained.
He was only half telling the truth.
The elixir was indeed very potent, but the reason why Madam Wei was not given more was not because she was too weak to tolerate such a tonic.
Rather, he was worried that if Madam Wei recovered too quickly, it would cause unnecessary speculation.
Inside the jade bottle was a record of the earth vein elixir he had recently compiled based on the information in the Divine Talisman Sect's heritage, as well as the results of his discussions and research with his master.
Finally, a medicinal liquid was prepared using ingredients such as Earth Vein Elixir and ginseng juice.
It takes a drop of earth vein essence, a whole century-old ginseng, and other precious medicinal herbs to make up the medicinal liquid in three jade bottles.
Therefore, Lu Qing's statement that this medicinal liquid was extremely precious was absolutely true.
It truly deserves to be called a drop worth a thousand pieces of gold.
As for the efficacy of the medicine, Master has also tested it.
Although this medicinal liquid does not have the miraculous effects of directly consuming the Earth Vein Elixir, such as bringing the dead back to life, restoring flesh and bones, and greatly enhancing aptitude, it still possesses other extraordinary properties.
However, it also has the effects of strengthening the body and extremely powerful healing.
For ordinary people, as long as they are not completely dead, even if they only have a sliver of life left, they can still use this medicine to keep them alive and slowly recover.
The information detected by the supernatural ability also gave the medicine a very high rating, reaching the red light level.
Lu Qing prepared three bottles of medicine. He left two bottles with his master and carried one bottle with him at all times, just in case.
This kind of elixir is too precious; it is a true life-saving medicine, and he is unwilling to use it lightly.
Although Magu's shoulder injury was not minor, it was not life-threatening, so he had not considered using it.
If Madam Wei hadn't been in such a terrible condition, on the verge of death, he wouldn't have taken out the medicine either.
Even if he were to use it now, he only planned to use two drops, and the rest would be left for Madam Wei to recover on her own.
Young Master Wei had no doubts after hearing Lu Qing's explanation.
He understood the medical principle that the body cannot tolerate strong tonics, and his mother's body was indeed weak and should not be given too much medicine.
After realizing this, Young Master Wei immediately said to Lu Qing, "I'm sorry, Doctor Lu Qing, I was too impatient."
"It's alright, young master is just concerned about Madam Wei's health," Lu Qing said with a smile.
Actually, he was still somewhat surprised.
This time, Young Master Wei seemed to have changed a lot; his temper was not as arrogant as before.
It seems that after experiencing so much, he has grown up and matured a lot.
"Then, Dr. Lu Qing, is my mother alright now?"
“After Madam Wei takes the medicine, her health should gradually improve soon. Look at her breathing now, isn’t it much more steady?” Lu Qing said.
Lu Qing had great confidence in the medicinal liquid that he and his master had carefully prepared.
After all, according to the information provided by the superpower, the potion's effects were truly potent.
Young Master Wei looked at his mother's face and found that her breathing had indeed become much more steady, and the cold sweat on her forehead had mostly subsided.
Most importantly, the originally terrifyingly pale face gradually regained some color and looked less frightening.
Young Master Wei touched his mother's forehead and found that it was no longer hot to the touch.
He was overjoyed: "Dr. Lu Qing, your medicine really works! My mother's condition has improved a lot!"
Now, Young Master Wei truly believed that the medicine Lu Qing had taken out was genuinely precious, and not just an exaggeration to inflate the price.
He knew about his mother's previous condition, which was truly terrible.
Unexpectedly, after Lu Qing took two drops of the medicine, he recovered in such a short time.
It truly deserves to be called a panacea.
“The external evil in Madam Wei’s body is being expelled, and the inflammation of her wounds is also improving. Let her get some rest first. We’ll go outside,” Lu Qing said.
"good."
At this point, Young Master Wei had completely come to trust Lu Qing.
After wiping his mother's sweat, he and Lu Qing went to the cave entrance.
"How is Madam Wei doing?"
When Magu saw them come out, he immediately asked.
"He's mostly recovered. He should wake up after a good rest," Lu Qing replied.
"That's good, that's good!"
Magu's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.
Madam Wei was escorted out by the Silver Moon Guards at great personal risk; even he almost lost his life for it.
He genuinely didn't want anything to happen to her.
"Brother Lu Qing, your medical skills are truly remarkable. You are indeed worthy of being Doctor Chen's prized disciple," Ma Gu praised.
"Don't say that. It's all thanks to the powerful elixirs my master concocted. When it comes to medical skills, I'm still far behind," Lu Qing said, waving his hand.
Even Lu Qing and the others were waiting for Madam Wei to wake up.
On the other side, in the waterfall valley where Lu Qing had previously fought.
More than a dozen powerful martial artists were gathered together, their faces grim as they stared at the two corpses in the valley.
call!
Suddenly, a gentle breeze swept by, and a white figure appeared in the valley.
He was a young man with a white robe, holding a feather fan, and with a fair complexion.
"Second Senior Brother!"
Upon seeing the newcomers, the group of martial artists immediately bowed respectfully.
"Why did you send me here in such a hurry? Have Wei Xinghe's wife and children been captured?" the white-robed youth asked.
"No, Second Senior Brother, it's Third Senior Brother and Seventh Senior Brother who are all dead."
Several martial artists stepped aside, revealing the corpses of Wang Qingshan and his companion behind them.
"What?!"
The young man in white robes was taken aback and quickly stepped forward.
When he saw the corpses of Wang Qingshan and the other man clearly, his pupils contracted.
After examining the area, his face darkened.
"Such ruthless methods. One was beheaded, the other was killed by having his chest pierced and his heart removed. Have you found out who did it?"
"No, when we found this place, there were only the corpses of my third senior brother and his companion in the valley, no one else," a martial artist replied.
The young man in the white robe fell silent for a moment.
In reality, he was extremely shocked.
They thought it was just a simple task to capture the Wei family mother and son, who were only escorted by a squad of Silver Moon Guards.
I never expected that the third and seventh brothers would die in this nameless valley.
The seventh brother is alright, but the third brother is a powerful expert at the Lesser Completion of the Inner Organ Realm, whose strength is almost equal to his.
With his strength, even if he encountered a martial artist at the Great Perfection of the Inner Vessel Realm, he could run away even if he couldn't win.
But he just saw that the third brother's hands must have been crippled first, and then his heart was removed.
There were also signs that a secret technique had been unleashed on him.
It's easy to imagine that the third brother was defeated head-on even when he unleashed his full power.
Yet he didn't manage to harm the enemy in the slightest.
To be able to kill a powerful expert at the Lesser Completion of the Inner Organ Realm so easily.
The person who made that move must be incredibly powerful.
Could it be that a grandmaster who has reached the perfect state of internal organs has made a move?
But how could that be? Apart from Wei Xinghe, the Wei family should not have any other cultivators at the peak of the Inner Vessel Realm.
It was impossible for Wei Xinghe to leave the Wei residence without his master's knowledge.
The wounds on the third brother's body were also quite peculiar, seemingly caused by some strange weapon, rather than by the Wei family.
Could it be that some other force has gotten involved, wanting a piece of the pie?
Suddenly, a thought flashed through the white-robed youth's mind, and he was startled.
If that's the case, then things get complicated.
"Second Brother, what should we do now?"
Just as the white-robed youth was alarmed, a martial artist asked a question.
"What else can we do? Take the bodies of the third and seventh brothers with us and head back to Cang County." The young man in white robes sighed.
"Are we just going back like this? We haven't even managed to capture Wei Xinghe's wife and children yet." The martial artist hesitated.
"What else can we do if we don't go back? The people who were able to kill the third and seventh brothers in such a short time are beyond our ability to deal with. If we don't retreat now, I'm afraid even we won't be able to leave."
The other martial artists were startled and then realized what was happening.
Yes, even a powerful expert like Third Senior Brother could be easily killed. If that mysterious person wanted to deal with them, wouldn't it be a piece of cake?
Thinking of this, the group of martial artists suddenly felt a chill run down their spines.
Their gazes toward the surrounding mountains and forests held a hint of fear, as if some terrifying monster lurked within.
"Alright, hurry up and carry the third and seventh brothers up, then we'll leave here."
The young man in white robes breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he had frightened the others.
After examining the bodies of the two men, he completely abandoned any thought of revenge and only wanted to leave as soon as possible.
Anyway, he wasn't particularly close to the third and seventh brothers, so there was no need for him to take risks for them.
Moreover, their deaths might not be such a bad thing.
At least, he'll get an extra share of the resources from his master in the future.
I wonder what Master will do when he sees the corpses of the third brother and the other two.
Especially the third brother, who is the master's adopted son, their relationship was already quite special.
Now that the third brother is dead, I really can't imagine how angry Master will be.
The white-robed youth felt a headache coming on at the thought of facing his master's wrath upon returning.
On the way back, he needed to carefully come up with a story to tell his master.
Lu Qing and Ma Gu were unaware that because of the deaths of Wang Qingshan and the other two, the Tiancang Sect disciples who were searching for them had been frightened and temporarily withdrew from the mountains.
They remained carefully hidden in the cave, waiting for Madam Wei to wake up.
Suddenly, Lu Qing heard a strange sound. He turned around and saw that it was coming from inside Young Master Wei's stomach.
Just as Young Master Wei was feeling awkward, a rumbling sound came from Ma Gu's stomach.
"I'm sorry, Brother Lu Qing, we haven't had anything decent to eat for two or three days, so we're very hungry," Ma Gu said somewhat embarrassedly.
Young Master Wei nodded repeatedly.
At that moment, he even began to miss the rabbit meat from last night.
Even though it was raw, it could at least fill my stomach.
Lu Qing nodded, indicating his understanding.
People who practice martial arts naturally have a large appetite, and it is indeed difficult for them to endure not eating much for several days.
He took his basket, rummaged through it, and finally found a package wrapped in oil paper, which he handed to the two men.
"This dry food is what I originally planned to bring into the mountains in case of emergency. If you don't mind, please have some first."
Magu didn't stand on ceremony, took the oil paper package, and opened it.
Inside was a thick stack of fried pancakes, and the unique aroma of the grain made him swallow hard.
Young Master Wei, standing to the side, also stared wide-eyed at the sight of the pancakes.
"Young master, please go first."
Ma Gu first handed a few pancakes to Young Master Wei.
Young Master Wei wanted to decline, but ultimately couldn't resist his hunger and accepted it with a slightly flushed face.
"Brother Lu Qing, then we won't stand on ceremony."
After giving Wei Xiaogongzi a few pancakes, Ma Gu no longer hesitated and began to eat them heartily.
After taking a few bites, his eyes lit up.
"Brother Lu Qing, where did you buy these pancakes? They taste so good!"
Seeing that Ma Gu was eating, Young Master Wei also took small bites of the pancake.
After chewing a few times, his expression changed as well.
The pancake was fragrant and delicious, with a unique aroma, and the taste was quite good.
"This wasn't bought, I made it myself," Lu Qing said with a smile.
He made this pancake based on some seasoning methods from his previous life, and also added a spice he had recently discovered.
It's a little different from the pie in this world.
"I never expected Brother Lu Qing to have such culinary skills. You invited me to stay for meals before, but I never did. It's truly a pity," Ma Gu said with some annoyance.
"You can't blame me for this. Every time I invite you to stay for dinner, you say you have to leave."
"It seems I've really missed out on a lot of delicious food," Magu said regretfully.
Young Master Wei ate with increasing relish, feeling as if he had never tasted such delicious pancakes in his entire life.
He couldn't help but ask, "Dr. Lu Qing, what kind of oil did you use to make this pancake? It smells so good!"
Looking at the young master's curious expression, Lu Qing recalled the first time he met him at the market.
A mischievous thought suddenly popped into his head, and he chuckled, "This was fried in lard."
"lard?"
A creature flashed into Wei's mind, and instinctively, he felt a little uncomfortable.
He has never eaten anything from a pig.
Although he felt uncomfortable, he really couldn't bear to spit out the food in his mouth.
Oh well, he's already eaten raw rabbit meat, so what's a little bit of lard?
After comforting himself like this, Young Master Wei's discomfort disappeared immediately, and he began to eat the pancake in his hand even more heartily.
"I never imagined that food made with lard could be so delicious. It seems I had too many prejudices before."
Seeing this, Lu Qing nodded slightly.
He could see that this young master Wei had indeed grown up.
He would never have said such a thing in the past.
He hadn't forgotten how the boy had screamed in terror at the market, looking at a pile of pork and offal.
“That’s right. Although pigs may look a bit dirty, pork can be quite delicious if cooked properly,” Lu Qing said with a smile.
"Really? Then after we get out, I'll definitely have to try your cooking, Brother Lu Qing," Ma Gu said expectantly.
"Haha, you're welcome anytime."
Although the pancakes Lu Qing brought were quite plentiful, Ma Gu and his companion only ate until they were half full.
Young Master Wei even left one of his own portions, saying he wanted to save it for his mother to eat when she woke up.
She's been unconscious for so long and hasn't eaten anything; she must be starving.
Lu Qing and the other man naturally did not object to his filial piety and tacitly approved of his actions.
And so, after Magu and the other man finished eating.
Another hour passed, and the three heard a soft moan coming from inside the cave.
After being in a coma for several days, Madam Wei finally woke up.
