58 The Treasure Trove (1/2)
Next, Mo Wen took out some 30 jade bottles of medicine from the wooden box and inspected them all. As expected, he discovered many precious completed drugs. He also discovered that there were five or six boxes containing jade bottles, each of them filled with medicines.
Most of the medicines were used to help practice the Nine Yang Scripture and the Nine Yin Scripture, coalescing the twin essences of Yin and Yang of heaven and earth. With the medicines in the jade bottles, a martial arts practitioner could practice the Nine Yang Scripture and the Nine Yin Scripture with greatly reduced effort and maximum results.
The medicines in the wooden crates were collected by the Ming Cult over decades as supplement medicines for the next cult leader or Sacred Maiden to practice the Nine Yang Scripture and the Nine Yin Scripture. Unfortunately, after the catastrophe befell the Ming Cult, these accumulated medicines had lost their original purpose, locked away in this sealed room.
After hundreds of years, Mo Wen had hit the jackpot. With the wooden crates of medicines, for him to practice the Nine Yang Scripture and the Nine Yin Scripture was a breeze; he could accomplish this in a short span of time.
The supplement medicines helped people practice the Nine Yang Scripture and the Nine Yin Scripture making it very precious, thus the Ming Cult in its heyday could only amass so much of them. Just by the use of these medicines, it was possible for a large number of martial arts masters to be born.
Aside from medicines for helping the practice, there were divine healing medicines. Among the medicines, there was a bottle of cream called the Grass Essence Paste; it had strong healing effects on physical wounds.
”Come over here.”
Mo Wen beckoned to Qin Xiaoyou, who was standing not far away.
”What for?”
Qin Xiaoyou approached him quizzically. Just now, she was flipping through some ancient literature on a bookshelf. She realized the Ming Cult was tremendously rich in its heritage. The cult's literature collection spanned across astronomy, geography, social sciences, Feng Shui, Eight Trigrams, Eight Diagrams Tactics, and history…
The collection was overarching and included the best work from all branches of studies. It was puzzling as to what was the cause that led to the Ming Cult's destruction all in a sudden, since it was a sect with such a long history.
Mo Wen grabbed Qin Xiaoyou's hand, rolled up her sleeve, and applied some Grass Essence Paste on her wound. As soon as it was applied, the cream colored Grass Essence Paste absorbed into Qin Xiaoyou's wound and was completely solidified on top of the wound.
”So soothing.”
Qin Xiaoyou stared at her arm; the burning pain was completely gone in an instant. Furthermore, she was washed over by a slight refreshing feeling.
”As long as it's not painful.”
Qin Xiaoyou did not have many physical injuries, but it still must have been very painful to have a large patch of skin cut.
Mo Wen applied the Grass Essence Paste on Qin Xiaoyou's other arm, then ordered her to sit.
”Take off your pants,” Mo Wen said expressionlessly.
There were far more wounds on Qin Xiaoyou's thighs than on her arms. Even her special-made military pants became worn with a few large openings. He could only apply medicine to her wounds if she took off her pants.
”I can do that myself…”
Qin Xiaoyou flushed. Obviously she knew that Mo Wen wanted to apply medicine on her wounds, but she felt slightly embarrassed since it was just the two of them in the room.
It was summer; she only had panties underneath her pants. Taking off her long pants in front of Mo Wen was deeply embarrassing.
”Take it off.”
Mo Wen frowned. He wasn't having any lewd thoughts. There couldn't be inhibitions for the doctor to treat the illness. As a man of medicine, when treating the patient he could not have any distractions.
In the other world as the Imperial Court physician, he had to treat the illnesses of the palace's imperial concubines, princesses as well, as the empress dowager. Some illnesses could not be treated without removing clothing.
Qin Xiaoyou could treat her thigh injuries by herself, but the abrasions on the back of her thighs and her lower back were harder to treat.
Seeing Mo Wen's serious expression, Qin Xiaoyou didn't resist further. Her face turned bright red as she slowly took off her pants.
Qin Xiaoyou was wearing white underwear. Her legs were smooth and pale, as compared to the back of her neck. The month of military training had indeed tanned her quite a bit.
