Chapter 161: Return To Its Rightful Owner (2/2)

The toads were already dried up but when they entered the water, they were revived and darted around in the boiling water, absorbing the shaman poison.

Not long later, the few toads died from poisoning.

Qin Mu changed another cauldron of water and followed the same steps again for nine times to refine the shaman poison out completely. He saw the blood in Butcher's lower body regaining its red color and his blood came circulated in his blood vessels automatically as though it was alive.

Qin Mu boiled another cauldron of water and changed over a dozen medicinal ingredients to excite the activity of his flesh and blood all the way until late at night.

Ling Yuxiu and the little fox had already fallen asleep. The green bull had also gone to sleep while Blind was sitting on the floor, snoozing as he leaned on his bamboo cane. Only Qin Mu and Butcher were still guarding beside the cauldron.

Qin Mu pulled out his Junior Protector Sword and passed it to Butcher, ”Grandpa Butcher, I am unable to cut your body so you would have to do it yourself. You have to cut away the flesh membrane which has grown over your upper body.”

”There's no need to use your sword, I will use my knife.”

Butcher pulled out his Pig Slaughtering Knife and gritted his teeth as he gave a slice and sliced off the flesh membrane which had grown over his wounds. His cultivation was strong, therefore, he was able to use his vital qi immediately to seal his wounds and not let them bleed.

Qin Mu pulled out the lower body from the cauldron. The wound on the lower body was still fresh so he had no need to slice it. Qin Mu took out jade bottles and carefully smeared the dragon's saliva on the cross-sections of the upper and lower body.

The moment he smeared the dragon's saliva, he could see flesh sprouting out rapidly as though they were small red worms wiggling non-stop.

He didn't connect the two sections of the body immediately and had instead refined his vital qi into threads to pick out all the tendons and nerves to reconnect them first.

The vital qi threads on his palm increased in number as they connected every flesh, every membrane, the intestines, the spines and gradually fused the body together. However, the skin at the waist had yet to grow out.

Qin Mu finally applied some dragon's saliva on his wound and the skin also grew back naturally, closing up the wound.

He raised his spirits and carried Butcher up and placed him in the medicinal cauldron. He placed the last packet of medicinal ingredients into the cauldron and brought the water to a simmer.

In the cauldron, Butcher leaned his arms by the side and suddenly said, ”Mu'er, Thanks for all the hard work.”

Qin Mu shook his head and smiled, ”I had learned the art of healing from Grandpa Apothecary for so many years and all my skills are taught by Grandpa Apothecary. It can't be considered hard.”

”I hope you won't have a messy reputation like Apothecary did.”

The water slowly came to a boil and Butcher let out a mouthful of white mist, ”That's right. I kept seeing you take things out from that little cloth sack. Even this cauldron was taken out from the sack. There's something weird with your sack. Let me have a look.”

Qin Mu handed over that sack and said, ”I picked up this sack in Rolan's Golden Palace. I don't know how but there's an area of one acre in the sack, so I have used it to store items.”

Butcher opened the sack and took a look inside before giving a weird expression, ”Mu'er, it seems like you have picked up quite a lot of items from the treasury of Rolan's Golden Palace.”

Qin Mu's face turned slightly red.”

”You can learn from Cripple but you cannot be addicted.”

Butcher sighed, ”Actually we all have our own bad habits in the village. Cripple likes to steal, Apothecary frequently poisons people and flirts everywhere. As for me, I was too arrogant in the past and raised my knives against the heavens. Blind is supercilious and frivolous, Deaf is too proud, Mute has his own way of thinking and tells no one about it. Don't talk about Village Chief, acting like he's a profound mystery and granny is a troublemaker. I'm scared that you learned all our bad points.”

Qin Mu said solemnly, ”Don't worry, Grandpa Butcher. Ever since I was out from the village, I have yet created trouble. Patriarch is very pleased with me!”

”In that case, that's good. You can create trouble, but you will need to be able to settle it.”

Butcher shook the sack and smiled, ”I have seen this sack before and it's called Taotie Sack and it's made out of taotie's skin. There should be a pureblood taotie in Great Ruins and if our villagers take it on together, we might be able to defeat it. The skin used to make this taotie sack isn't from a pureblood taotie but its lineage could be considered extremely high. The taotie sack I saw in the past has only ten feet in diameter and not many things can be put inside. It should have been made out of the skin of a strange beast who has the taotie's bloodline.

”So I see.”

Qin Mu was astonished and immediately asked, ”I have seen some houses that don't look big from the outside yet have an enormous space inside, how did this happen?”

”That's simple. By grinding the bones of strange beasts that have the taotie's bloodline and mix it into the cement, mixing it into the paint is fine as well. In this way, the internal space would become bigger.”

Butcher said, ”Taotie is a divine beast, a kind of dragon. This divine beast only eat and don't shit therefore the space in its stomach is very wide. Its skin would be used to create taotie sack while its bones would be used to build the house. There are many ways to use it, however, there are too little pureblood ones.”

Qin Mu stayed at his side and they both chit chat until Qin Mu felt asleep without knowing.

When he woke up, he realized that the fire under the cauldron had extinguished. He was about to rekindle the fire when Butcher's voice sounded out from the side, ”Mu'er, there's no need for that. I feel that there are no major problems with my body now.”

Qin Mu immediately looked back and saw Butcher had already dressed up. He wore a new pant which was the one Qin Mu had made earlier after buying some fabric while he was getting the medicinal ingredients.

This elder wore a loose chinese gown on his upper body and the messy beard stubbles were all cleanly shaved, making him look refresh.

Butcher looked at him up and down and nodded his head repeatedly, ”You have already grown up. We helped you in the past and now you can already help us. That's good, that's good…”

Blind's voice came from outside, ”The one that slaughters pigs, if you continue talking, you won't be able to leave. Your disciple has already caught up.”

Butcher walked out and said, ”There's a hand bone of a god in your taotie sack which I will be keeping for you. You can't bring this thing around with you, that god is still alive. If you take it with you, it will just bring you disaster.”

Qin Mu was shocked, ”The owner of the hand bone is still alive?”
