After Lu Qing opened the "Treatise on Acupuncture Points" and read it for a while,
as expected, such information appeared in his field of vision.
Without hesitation, he chose to download it directly.
Downloading, current progress: 1%...
Lu Qing began turning the pages from the beginning.
As he flipped through the book page by page, the progress bar in his vision also ticked upward.
...97%, 98%, 99%, 100% "Treatise on Acupuncture Points" download complete. Learn?
When he turned the final page, his Supernatural Ability showed that the book had been fully downloaded.
Lu Qing immediately chose to learn it.
The next moment, a vast amount of knowledge about the human body's acupuncture points welled up from the depths of his mind.
He tilted his head back and closed his eyes, silently receiving the knowledge.
After a long while, he opened his eyes, astonishment appearing within them.
"The acupuncture points of the human body truly are wondrous."
"According to this 'Treatise on Acupuncture Points,' the major acupoints throughout the body govern all its vital passages and are intimately tied to a person's state of life."
"A skilled medical practitioner, so long as they used them properly and placed the needles according to the symptoms, could eliminate the source of illness, bring the dying back to life, and save people from peril even without medicine."
At that moment, Lu Qing had completely memorized the entire "Treatise on Acupuncture Points."
Of course, he had merely memorized it.
That did not mean he now knew how to perform acupuncture on people.
He only possessed theoretical knowledge, without the slightest practical experience.
If he were truly given a patient to needle, he did not know whether he could cure their illness, but he would certainly be able to injure them.
To thoroughly master the "Treatise on Acupuncture Points," he still had much to learn.
Yet merely gaining this understanding made Lu Qing feel that the path of medicine truly was extraordinary.
Whether medicine or acupuncture, both were vast and profound, their knowledge intricate and complex. Neither was easy to master.
If not for his Supernatural Ability, he did not know how long it would take him merely to understand the two medical books his master had given him.
Gently turning the pages, Lu Qing began reviewing the book once more.
Although he had already memorized its contents, he still preferred the feeling of leafing through an actual book.
Under the evening sunlight, Lu Qing continued reading.
Only when the sun sank in the west and the sky gradually darkened did he put the book away.
That night, Xiao Yan still did not see the Black Little Beast she had been yearning for.
That little creature truly seemed to possess some special ability. Every time, it only appeared after Xiao Yan had fallen asleep.
Sure enough, Lu Qing had just tucked the blanket around the sleeping little girl when he heard that familiar scratching at the door from outside.
He went to the kitchen, brought out the fresh live fish he had prepared earlier, and opened the main gate.
Then he saw a black figure nimbly hop backward.
With its two front paws pressed together, it sat upright with elegant poise, quietly watching Lu Qing as it waited for him to set down the fish.
"You little fellow, you're getting more and more casual," Lu Qing said, shaking his head.
He set down the fish and retreated several steps.
The Black Little Beast immediately stepped forward and began devouring the fish in the wooden basin with great relish.
Lu Qing merely watched it eat quietly, without disturbing it.
Compared with more than ten days ago, the Black Little Beast had grown a little bigger.
Its attitude had also changed from its former suspicion and vigilance to being able to face Lu Qing with complete calm now.
When eating fish, it no longer carried one away to hide, then emerged after finishing it to take a second.
Instead, just as it did now, it ate directly from the wooden basin.
Of course, though its attitude had become much gentler, Lu Qing still could not approach it, much less touch it.
But Lu Qing had never thought of touching the little fellow anyway.
If it suddenly got agitated and slashed him with a paw, his hand would probably be ruined.
He did not believe his limbs could be harder than steel and stone.
Not to mention that even steel and stone could be torn apart by this creature.
So every time, after setting down the fish, he would retreat, lest he accidentally provoke this little ancestor.
And every time the Black Little Beast finished eating, it would leave without the slightest reluctance.
Only this time, something seemed different.
After finishing the fish, the Black Little Beast turned and leaped out of the fenced courtyard.
Just as Lu Qing was about to step forward and collect the wooden basin, he saw its figure appear before him again.
"What, are you still not full?"
Lu Qing could not help asking.
That should not be possible. Today, he had added several more fish than yesterday.
Even if the little creature had grown somewhat, its appetite should not have increased so much all at once.
Upon hearing Lu Qing's words, an unreadable look appeared in the Black Little Beast's eyes.
Had Lu Qing noticed it, he would have realized that it seemed to be a look of disdain.
Unfortunately, Lu Qing did not notice, because his attention was drawn to something else.
"What are you holding in your mouth?"
At that moment, the Black Little Beast was indeed carrying something in its mouth.
The object appeared grayish-white, but Lu Qing could not see it clearly.
The moonlight was dim tonight, with only a pale crescent hanging in the sky.
The Black Little Beast stepped forward, placed the object from its mouth on the ground, then backed away several steps.
"This is for me?" Lu Qing asked in surprise.
The Black Little Beast did not move, merely watching Lu Qing quietly.
Yet Lu Qing understood its meaning. This thing truly was a gift for him.
"It really is for me?"
This time, Lu Qing was genuinely astonished.
After feeding the little creature for so long, this was the first return gift he had received.
"What is this?"
Lu Qing stepped forward and gently picked up the object.
The moment it reached his hand, he immediately judged that it seemed to be the rootstock of some plant.
Leaves grew at its top, numerous fibrous roots spread beneath it, and some soil still clung to it.
By the faint moonlight, he began examining the thing in his hand.
The more he looked, the wider his eyes became.
Having memorized the entire "Classic of Materia Medica" so thoroughly that he could recite it backward and forward, he felt increasingly certain that the object in his hand resembled a certain medicinal herb.
"This couldn't be..."
Before the thought in Lu Qing's heart could fully surface, his Supernatural Ability had already given him the answer.
A hazy glow of Supernatural Ability rose from the plant in his hand.
Most crucially, this light was not pure white.
Amid the white was mixed a faint trace of red light.
Ginseng: A precious medicinal herb. Edible and non-toxic. This Ginseng has grown for a long time and seems to be over a hundred years old. Legend has it that Ginseng possesses all kinds of miraculous effects. Ginseng old enough may even possess spiritual perception and develop intelligence.
Hundred-Year Ginseng!
When he clearly saw the information given by his Supernatural Ability, Lu Qing's eyes instantly widened.
