Chapter 112: Chapter 102 Yu Biao: Chen 94, Dare to Fight? (10,000 Characters, Please Subscribe)
The Blood Replenishing Soup, warm and nourishing, cultivated the vital energy and blood. It was an upper-class prescription.
Before Martial Artists reached Energy Transformation, the most important thing was to cultivate blood and replenish energy. Achieving abundant energy and blood with a body as strong as pine was the standard of a Refining Body Martial Artist.
To achieve abundant energy and blood with a body as strong as pine, many conditions were necessary.
But in summary, one could not do without training and supplementation.
Training was easy to understand: tempering the body and honing the energy and blood.
But supplementation was equally important. If one only trained without supplementing, the result would be a deficiency of energy and blood, which could damage the foundation.
People often said that literature was for the poor, while martial arts were for the wealthy. The wealth in martial arts meant that during martial training, they must keep up with supplements.
Chen Jie’s current state was lacking major supplements. Now, with this Bull Horn Shrimp, combined with Doctor Bai’s prescription and supplemented with ginseng, astragalus, and other herbs that replenish energy, they could just brew a bowl of Blood Replenishing Soup.
Doctor Bai looked at the Bull Horn Shrimp in front of him, and said, "Jiu Si, come inside with me."
When Chen Jie heard this, he followed Doctor Bai into the medicinal room.
Doctor Bai gave Chen Jie a prescription for the soup.
There were many traditional Chinese medicines inside, the most important of which was the Bull Horn Shrimp.
Doctor Bai said, "Jiu Si, remember this prescription. This is the Blood Replenishing Soup and is considered a fine prescription. I am taking this opportunity to teach it to you."
Chen Jie understood the value of this prescription. Prescriptions that helped Martial Artists enhance their realm and strength were the foundation of a doctor’s practice.
Whether it was the Skin Tempering Soup from before or the current Blood Replenishing Soup, they were all very valuable prescriptions. Chen Jie could even use these two prescriptions to gain a pharmacist position in a wealthy family, living without worrying about food and clothing.
It could be said that Doctor Bai was passing down his expertise to him.
Chen Jie immediately thanked Doctor Bai.
Doctor Bai checked his own medicinal ingredients, carefully searching and found that he was missing an over-ten-year-old ginseng.
In recent days, both Wu Hong and Wu Zhong had been injured, and their injuries involved the depletion of energy and blood. Doctor Bai had used up most of the ginseng, astragalus, and angelica he had stockpiled over the years.
This made it challenging to prepare this Blood Replenishing Soup.
Doctor Bai thought for a moment and said to Chen Jie, "This ginseng is very important. Without it, the efficacy would be greatly reduced. I do have stocks of the other herbs, but it looks like you will need to wait. I need to find someone to borrow a ginseng."
As he spoke, Doctor Bai immediately found Wu Zhong and asked him to send someone to Sanfutan Town to find Doctor Li, who had a twenty-year-old ginseng that could be borrowed.
Wu Zhong went to handle it immediately.
Chen Jie was very grateful for Doctor Bai’s actions, as borrowing medicine involved owing favors, which would require a gift of thanks when returning it in the future.
Chen Jie said, "Master, this favor..."
Doctor Bai waved his hand and said, "Enough, let’s not talk about that. I am your master. As long as your master is still alive, I will help you with things. Once you all grow up and I don’t have to worry about you anymore, it will be time for me to enjoy myself."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jie was very moved. He even somewhat understood the meaning of "once a teacher, always a father."
The ancient relationship between master and disciple was sometimes really akin to that of father and son.
This might also relate to the education system. In ancient times, a master might accept only one or two apprentices in his lifetime to pass on his skills as if raising a son.
Whereas in modern education, the concept of master has long lost its meaning and has become that of a teacher, who might teach thousands of students in a lifetime. How could he offer genuine devotion?
Understanding these things, Chen Jie felt a lot of emotion.
Wu Zhong sent the Fishing Guild Disciples for the task, and they wouldn’t return until late.
Their Xiantao Town was a distance from Sanfutan Town. Moreover, with few horses in the south, they could only travel on foot, so it would take some time.
During this process, Doctor Bai instructed Chen Jie to keep the Bull Horn Shrimp in a water basin.
From afternoon to evening, Chen Jie had nothing else to do and practiced martial arts in the courtyard.
Daisy, for some reason, kept eyeing the Bull Horn Shrimp and squatted by the basin watching it. Su Yunjin worried that this little one might eat it and harm the Bull Horn Shrimp.
So he kept watching over Daisy.
Soon, a day passed.
At around eight in the evening, the Fishing Guild staff finally returned with a Wild Ginseng for Doctor Bai.
This ginseng was a finger bone’s length longer than the one Chen Jie had dug up. That extra length required at least ten years to grow and was worth ten times as much.
This Wild Ginseng was conservatively estimated to be worth over thirty taels.
Chen Jie’s entire belongings were not enough to cover it.
At this moment, Doctor Bai asked whether Chen Jie wanted to start brewing the medicine immediately.
Chen Jie thought for a moment and said, "Let’s wait a bit longer."
Having waited half a day, a little more time wouldn’t hurt. More importantly, it was almost midnight, and his intelligence system was about to update.
Doctor Bai’s Blood Replenishing Soup was indeed good, but was there any possibility for improvement?
*Chen Jie wanted to use his intelligence system to try to enhance some of the medicinal effects.*
*After all, the last time with the Skin Tempering Soup, he had made excellent improvements.*
Doctor Bai didn’t say anything else, only pointing to the Bull Horn Shrimp and said, "For this Blood Replenishing Soup, you don’t need the entire Bull Horn Shrimp, but the whole Bull Horn Shrimp is valuable and shouldn’t be wasted."
"Look, this Bull Horn Shrimp’s fish bones, especially this pair of fish horns, must be carefully collected and dried before being ground into powder. It becomes a very valuable treasure medicine, Water Dragon Bone Powder, which is one of the auxiliary medicines for refining the Bone Strengthening Pill."
