55 Leader Mo Wen (1/2)
”The Ming Clan used the all-conquering Sacred Fire Sword as an iron plague for over thousands of years, and even derived sets of Sacred Flame Insignia martial arts teachings because of it. They only found out about the secret of the Sacred Flame Insignia after the Leader of the 37th generation of the Ming Clan. If those ancestors of the Ming Clan knew about the truth of the Sacred Flame Insignia, they would be so embarrassed,” Mo Wen thought to himself internally. Having a treasure in one's hand but not knowing its true power would be a blow to anyone.
He could only sigh at the fact that the Sacred Fire Sword had been hidden so well. If not for the extraordinary talent of the Leader of the Ming Clan of the 37th generation, then there was no knowing how long it would have remained buried.
His palm turned slightly and the blade of the Sacred Fire Sword shrunk back in without a sound. At the same time, the temperature in the secret chamber had gradually reverted to normal.
”This Leader of the Ming Clan was definitely deserving of his title considering what he had done for the Ming Clan,” thought Mo Wen as he helplessly dismantled the Sacred Fire Sword into the seven pieces again. He took the pieces of the Sacred Flame Insignia and assembled them into a simple and unsophisticated belt. He put it on his body and adjusted the length a little. It wouldn't appear to be any different from a normal belt.
The hidden power of the Sacred Fire Sword surprised Mo Wen. The person who had casted the Sacred Fire Sword was a unique talent.
Mo Wen scanned the secret room and respectfully bowed three times to the skeleton of Chang Qingfeng. Since he had inherited his legacy, he would achieve whatever Chang Qingfeng had entrusted upon him despite having little interest in setting up a religious sect. Mo Wen was instead more interested in living a carefree, unrestrained life.
With a choice made in his heart, Mo Wen started to stroll around the secret chamber. He walked over to the three large bookshelves on the western face and casually retrieved a few books to flip through. He found out that they were all the martial arts teachings of the Ming Clan placed in this secret chamber. It preserved the most complete legacy of the Ming Clan.
There were the Sacred Flame Palm, Cold Ice Immortality, No Phase Stick, Seven Injury Fist, Eagle Step, Purple Dragon Martial Arts, and so much more. The variety of martial arts teachings was close to a hundred. However, in comparison to The Heaven and Earth Great Shift and Nine Yang Scripture, it was still a large number of levels away.
Mo Wen randomly flipped through several of the books, but he lost interest. He walked over to another book shelf and found that the books were all depicting some mysteries of martial arts. Just like the ancient classics of the Ming Clan, they were also treasured classics, but Mo Wen did not have much interest in them.
He dully walked to the last book shelf and just randomly flipped through several more books. Then, Mo Wen's expression became serious. The books on the third book shelf were actually all related to medicine. Moreover, the collection was plentiful and had thousands of years of impartation of medical techniques and the various types of medical classics.
In the history of the Ming Clan, every generation produced a miracle physician and always had an impartation of medical techniques. The Leader of the 34th generation of the Ming Clan had exceptional medical skills and was known as the great miracle physician. He had promoted the medical techniques of the Ming Clan so much so that they became renowned far and wide.
It was said that the master of the Leader of the 34th generation of the Ming Clan was called Hu Qingniu and was referred to as the medical deity. His medical skills were unfathomable and he was the world's leading doctor in that era.
Precisely because of such a master, the Leader of the 34th generation of the Ming Clan could push the medical techniques of the Ming Clan to greater heights.
At this moment, the secret chamber was stored with the medical classics that had been passed down by the Ming Clan for thousands of years. It was a priceless treasure trove.
The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classics, Hua Tuo's Deep Internal Mapping, Pulse Classic written by Wang Shuhe, Thousand Gold Wings, Wang Yi's Foreign Taiwan Secrets, Yellow Emperor's Shrimp Sutra, Western Subaid Church Moxibustion, Effective Prescriptions of Taiping, Acupuncture A and B, Thousand Gold Prescription...Mo Wen couldn't believe his eyes.
Book after book of ancient classics on medicine! There were so many that it made one a little dazed. Many of them were the only existing copies, handed down through generations and rare throughout the world. It was impossible to weigh their value. The medical knowledge within them, especially, was not just basic knowledge like that recorded in Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica.
Some of the medicinal material within the book encompassed a new world of medicine. There were many rare medicinal materials that were recorded which were very difficult to find.
There were also several interesting medicinal materials that even Mo Wen did not know of. Perhaps those medicinal materials were non-existent in his world. Even if there were, they may have not been discovered or their beneficial properties were unknown.
