Chapter 112: Chapter 102 Yu Biao: Chen Jiu 4, Dare to Fight (10,000 Words Subscription Request)

Blood Replenishing Soup heats the body and nourishes both the qi and blood, being a top-class prescription for replenishment.

Before Martial Artists undergo Energy Transformation, the most important aspect is to replenish qi and blood to make the physical body like pine—a standard for Refining Body Martial Artists.

To achieve full qi and ample blood and a body soft like pine requires numerous conditions.

But in summary, it would involve both training and replenishing.

Training is easily understood as tempering the body and forging the qi and blood.

Replenishing is equally vital; without it, only training would result in deficient qi and blood, thereby harming the source.

...

One often hears “the poor can master the pen, the wealthy the sword,” meaning that when practicing martial arts, supplements must keep up.

Chen Jie currently lacked significant replenishment items. Now with this Bull Horn Shrimp and accompanied by Doctor Bai’s prescription, combined with Ginseng, Astragalus, and other medicinal herbs to enrich qi, they could stew a bowl of Blood Replenishing Soup.

Doctor Bai eyed the Bull Horn Shrimp and said, “Jiu Si, come with me.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie followed Doctor Bai into the pharmacy.

Doctor Bai gave Chen Jie a prescription for the soup.

It contained many Chinese medicinal herbs, with the primary ingredient being Bull Horn Shrimp.

Doctor Bai said, “Jiu Si, remember this prescription. This is Blood Replenishing Soup, also considered a fine formula. It’s a good opportunity for me to teach it to you.”

Chen Jie understood the value of the prescription. Such formulas that could help Martial Artists improve their realms and enhance their strength were fundamental for a doctor.

Whether it was the previous Skin Tempering Soup or this Blood Replenishing Soup, both were extremely valuable prescriptions. Chen Jie could even obtain the status of a Pharmacist in a wealthy household with these two prescriptions, thus securing his livelihood.

One might say Doctor Bai was imparting his trade secrets to him.

Chen Jie immediately thanked Doctor Bai.

Doctor Bai looked over his herbs and after a careful search, noted the absence of a Ginseng root aged over ten years.

These days, both Wu Hong and Wu Zhong had been injured, sustaining damage to their qi and blood. Doctor Bai had used up most of the Ginseng, Astragalus, and Angelica he had accumulated over the years.

Therefore, preparing this Blood Replenishing Soup was somewhat challenging.

Thinking it over, Doctor Bai said to Chen Jie, “This Ginseng is crucial. Lacking it would greatly reduce the efficacy. There are still some other herbs in stock here. Looks like you’ll have to wait, as I need to borrow a Ginseng root from someone.”

Saying this, Doctor Bai promptly asked Wu Zhong if Tuangui zhichen could retrieve a twenty-year-old Ginseng from Doctor Li in Sanfutan Town.

Wu Zhong set out to handle it immediately.

Chen Jie was very grateful for Doctor Bai’s actions. Requesting to borrow medicine was a favor that had to be repaid with gratitude gifts later.

Chen Jie said, “Master, this favor.”

Doctor Bai waved his hand, saying, “Enough of this. I’m your master. While I’m still alive, I’ll make these arrangements for you. Once you all have grown up and I don’t need to worry anymore, it’ll be time for me to enjoy some peace.”

Hearing this, Chen Jie was deeply moved, even coming to understand the saying “once a teacher, always a father.”

The bond between master and disciple in ancient times was indeed nearly akin to that of father and son.

This might also relate to the educational system. In ancient times, a master might teach only one or two disciples in his lifetime, truly raising them like sons.

In contrast, modern education has diluted the significance of a master to that of a teacher, who might teach thousands of students in a lifetime. How could one sincerely devote themselves with such numbers?

Understanding all this, Chen Jie was filled with emotion.

The Fishing Guild Disciple sent by Wu Zhong would probably return late.

Given the distance from Xiantao Town to Sanfutan Town and the lack of horses in the south, they would have to travel on foot, thus requiring some time.

During this time, Doctor Bai instructed Chen Jie to keep the Bull Horn Shrimp in a water basin.

Chen Jie had no other tasks from afternoon to evening and practiced martial arts in the courtyard.

Daisy, for some reason, fixated on that Bull Horn Shrimp, often squatting by the basin and watching it, making Su Yunjin wary that the little one might harm the Shrimp out of gluttony.

So, she kept an eye on Daisy.

The day quickly passed.

By about 8 p.m., the Fishing Guild staff returned, bringing an old Wild Ginseng for Doctor Bai.

This Ginseng was a fingertip longer than the one Chen Jie had found, and just that fingertip’s length indicated at least ten additional years of growth, increasing its value tenfold.

This Wild Ginseng could easily be worth over thirty taels.

Chen Jie’s entire estate couldn’t measure up.

At this point, Doctor Bai inquired if Chen Jie wanted to start brewing the medicine immediately.

Chen Jie thought for a moment and said, “Let’s wait a bit longer.”

After waiting half the day, a little longer wouldn’t hurt. More importantly, it was nearly midnight, and his information system was about to update.

The Blood Replenishing Soup from Doctor Bai was indeed excellent, but was there room for improvement?

Chen Jie wanted to use his information system to try and enhance the medicinal effect.

After all, last time he had significantly improved the Skin Tempering Soup.

Doctor Bai said nothing else, merely pointing at the Bull Horn Shrimp and saying, “This Blood Replenishing Soup doesn’t require the whole Bull Horn Shrimp, but every part of it is valuable. Don’t waste it.”

“See, the bones of this Bull Horn Shrimp, especially these horns, must be collected well. After drying and grinding them into powder, they make a very valuable treasure medicine, Water Dragon Bone Powder, an auxiliary medicine for refining Bone Strengthening Pills.”
