[Download?]

Lu Qing flipped open the book and read it for a while.

As expected, this message appeared in his field of vision.

Without hesitation, he chose to download.

[Downloading, current progress, 1%…]

Lu Qing began to turn the pages.

As he flipped through the book, the progress bar in his field of vision ticked.

[…97%, 98%, 99%, 100%]

[Acupuncture and Moxibustion Point Theory has been downloaded. Do you want to study?]

When the last page was turned, his supernatural power indicated that the book had been downloaded.

Lu Qing immediately chose to study.

The next moment, a vast amount of knowledge about human acupuncture points surged from the depths of his mind.

He tilted his head back, closed his eyes, and silently absorbed the knowledge.

After a long pause, he opened his eyes, a look of wonder in them.

“The acupuncture points on the human body are truly miraculous.”

“According to this book, ‘Acupuncture Points Theory,’ the major acupuncture points throughout the human body control various vital points and are closely related to a person’s life state.”

“A skilled healer, with proper application and targeted treatment, can eliminate ailments, restore the dying, and save lives from danger, even without using any other medicine.”

By this point, Lu Qing had memorized the entire ‘Acupuncture Points Theory.’

Of course, this was just memorization.

It didn’t mean he now knew how to perform acupuncture.

He only had theoretical knowledge, but no practical experience.

If he were to give acupuncture to a patient, he didn’t know if it would heal, but he was certain it would harm them.

He still had much to learn to fully master the ‘Acupuncture Points Theory.’

But even just a brief glimpse into it gave Lu Qing a sense of the extraordinary nature of this medical art.

Both medicine and acupuncture are profound and extensive, with a wealth of knowledge. Mastering any of them is incredibly challenging.

Without his special abilities, it would have taken him countless years to comprehend just the two medical books his master had given him.

Gently flipping through the pages, Lu Qing began to review his lessons.

Although he had memorized the contents, he still preferred the feel of flipping through the pages.

In the twilight, Lu Qing continued reading.

He didn’t put the book away until the sun set and the sky darkened.

That night, Xiaoyan still hadn’t seen the black beast she’d been pining for.

As if possessing some special ability, the creature always waited until Xiaoyan was asleep before appearing.

Just as Lu Qing had tucked the little creature into bed, he heard a familiar scratching sound outside.

He went to the kitchen, brought out the fresh fish he’d prepared long ago, and opened the door.

Then, a dark figure nimbly leaped back.

It sat gracefully, its front paws pressed together, and quietly gazed at Lu Qing, waiting for him to set the fish down.

“You are becoming more and more casual, man.” Lu Qing shook his head.

He put the fish down and took a few steps back.

The little black beast immediately stepped forward and began to feast on the fish in the wooden basin.

Lu Qing just watched it eat the fish quietly without disturbing it.

Compared to more than ten days ago, the little black beast has grown a little bit bigger.

Its attitude has also changed from being suspicious and vigilant to now, and it can face Lu Qing very calmly.

When eating fish, it no longer hides with one in its mouth, and then comes out to grab the second one after finishing eating.

Instead, it eats directly from the wooden basin like now.

Of course, although its attitude has become much calmer, Lu Qing cannot get close to it, let alone touch it.

But Lu Qing hadn’t considered touching it.

If the little creature suddenly got excited and struck him with its claws, his hand would likely be broken.

He didn’t believe his own hands and feet were as strong as steel or stone.

Not to mention, even steel or stone could be torn apart by it.

So, after putting the fish down, he always stepped back, lest he accidentally provoke the little beast.

And the little black beast, after eating the fish, always left without a second thought.

But this time, something seemed different.

After finishing the fish, the little black beast turned and left, leaping out of the fenced yard.

Just as Lu Qing was about to go and put the wooden basin away, he saw it reappear.

“What’s wrong? Aren’t you full?”

Lu Qing asked.

That shouldn’t be the case. He’d added a few more fish today than yesterday.

Even if the little creature had grown a bit, its appetite shouldn’t have increased so much all at once.

A strange look crossed the little black beast’s eyes when he heard Lu Qing’s words.

If Lu Qing had noticed, he would have seen that it was a look of disdain.

Unfortunately, Lu Qing didn’t notice, his attention drawn to something else.

“What’s that in your mouth?”

It turned out the little black beast was holding something.

It seemed grayish-white, but Lu Qing couldn’t quite make it out.

The moonlight tonight wasn’t bright, with only a faint crescent in the sky.

The little black beast stepped forward, placed the object on the ground, and stepped back.

“Is this for me?” Lu Qing was surprised.

The little black beast didn’t move, simply staring at Lu Qing silently.

Lu Qing understood its meaning; it was indeed a gift for him.

“Really for me?”

Lu Qing was truly astonished.

After feeding this little creature for so long, this was the first time he had received a gift in return.

“What is this?”

Lu Qing stepped forward and gently picked it up.

The moment he got the object, he immediately recognized it as the rhizome of some plant.

There were leaves on the top, numerous roots, and some soil still clinging to it.

In the dim moonlight, he began to examine the object in his hand.

The more he looked, the more his eyes widened.

He had read the entire “Catalogue of Materia Medica” by heart   and could recite it by heart. The more he looked at it , the more he felt that the thing in his hand looked like a certain medicinal herb.

“Could this be…” Before Lu Qing could fully think of it, his supernatural power had already told him the answer.   A hazy supernatural light rose from the plant in his hand.   The most important thing was that this supernatural light was not pure white.   But in the white, there was also a hint of faint red light.   [Ginseng: A precious medicinal herb, edible, non-toxic.]   [This ginseng has been growing for a long time, and it seems to be more than a hundred years old.]   [Legend has it that ginseng has all kinds of magical effects. Ginseng that is old enough seems to have psychic abilities and can give birth to spiritual intelligence.]   Hundred-year-old ginseng!   When Lu Qing saw the information given by the supernatural power, his eyes widened instantly.   (End of this chapter)
