496 Tian Fa Sends a Batch of Herbs (1/2)
”Hang on! Do you think I want to see your naked ass? I used to avoid looking at your body even when we used to take hot baths. Brother, you're so thin that it's nauseating!” The corners of Tang Yuan's mouth twitched in disdain. But, those twitching corners appeared to be a smile because his face had many layers of fat on it. He stood up and patted his extremely huge posterior. Then, he went out the door.
”Fatty, you broke through my door! I'll cut five-thousand coins from your share to compensate for it…” Fatty Tang had talked rudely. He had even ridiculed Jun Mo Xie's majestic body. Young Master Jun couldn't help but get mad, ”… and those will be gold coins!”
A 'plop' sounds came from outside as Tang Yuan tumbled to the ground; [Five-thousand… gold coins? What kind of a door is that expensive…?]
Jun Mo Xie slowly dried the wet spots on his body. Then, the red-faced Little Ke helped him get into dry clothes… It had to be said that coming over to this world had done a lot of harm to Jun Mo Xie. After all, the assassin used to be self-sufficient in his previous life. However, he had now gotten accustomed to a lifestyle wherein he relied on others to even get his clothes for him. This is what genuine depravity is about…
Young Master Jun got into his gown. He again looked neat and charming now. Then, Jun Mo Xie lightly pinched Little Ke's cheek. And, this made her pout in a playful protest. He laughed at that, and quickly went out to look for Solitary Eagle so that he could get him to retrieve those pills from the Aristocratic Hall.
Jun Zhan Tian and Jun Wu Yi were making preparations to go over the important rituals required to recognize Guan Qing Han as an adopted daughter. However, there was another jobless old man in the Jun Family's residence these days — Dugu Zong Heng!
Dugu Zong Heng would come over to the Jun Family's residence every day ever since he had heard that Jun Mo Xie could heal his injuries. Both these powerful families were already acquaintances. Moreover, they would soon be related by marriage. So, Dugu Zong Heng didn't feel like an outsider over here. However, everyone in the Jun residence was always frantically running around since they were very busy. Also, Jun Mo Xie didn't seem to have any time on his hands over the past few days. Dugu Zong Heng waited with patience for a few days. But, he eventually started to get resentful. Thus, the Old Man Dugu's frighteningly loud voice was frequently heard around the Jun Family's residence. In fact, it was like a thunderbolt in the clear sky. It was much like Tang Yuan's nightly snoring which used to startle people even four to nine kilometers outside the city's walls….
This made the servants at the Jun residence realize that they were blessed to be serving Jun Zhan Tian instead…
It was then that Jun Mo Xie rushed-in with his divine medications, and quickly treated Old Man Dugu. There was nothing to treat when we come to speak of it. After all, the Young Master was merely required to insert a few needles into Dugu Zong Heng's fleshy posterior, and circle his aura through Old Man Dugu's meridians via the Art of Unlocking the Heaven's Fortune.
This process didn't take much effort, but Dugu Zong Heng suddenly felt as if most of his body had lightened up. Consequently, the Old Man roared that Young Master Jun was a divine doctor! However, that roughened Old Man was quite shrewd by nature within. He had carefully recorded what-and-where Jun Mo Xie had given him during the acupuncture treatment. He had even muttered to himself in doubt. [There's nothing in that area besides meat. Do acupuncture points genuinely exist over there? How can the mere usage of needles on my ass show such results?]
[This is very strange!] This also led Dugu Zong Heng to consult the many other 'divine doctors' inside the capital's premises. But, he only rained curses at each one of them afterwards. That's because these doctors' caliber was identical to each other. They had inserted the needles in the same places. Even the pain he had felt as similar when it comes to the intensity. However, the effects weren't similar to Jun Mo Xie's treatment in any manner. The Old Man couldn't help but lament at this. [It's not surprising that there's such a dearth of doctors who can cure this problem…]
Old Man Dugu had often trusted these doctors for the treatment of his now-cured injury in the past. So, how could he not rain curses at them? [Your treatment is very ordinary! Your ordinary treatment causes nothing but pain! You are good for nothing!] Several of the doctors had nearly gone insane after facing the Old Man's wrath.
He had only been through one session of the treatment. So, it hadn't rooted out the problem yet. But, Dugu Zong Heng was still very satisfied. After all, he hadn't felt such a relaxed, pleasing, and comfortable sensation for many decades. He crossed paths with Jun Zhan Tian the same evening. And, he drank a lot that evening. In fact, he drank enough to lose his bearings. He had drunk so much after so many years… So, how could he not get high on it?
Jun Mo Xie returned to the Hong Jun Pagoda in the midst of this chaos, and began his struggle again. But, he soon discovered that his skills and capabilities could see a major enhancement upon being replenished after reaching a state of full-fledged exhaustion.

In the far south…
Two large men were vigorously riding northwards. Their mounts could've been called 'horses', but they had horns on their heads. Moreover, their heads weren't as long. They could be called 'deer', but their hooves were circular. Moreover, one could see white hair underneath their hooves when they were raised. In fact, it seemed like they were wearing some sort of hoof mittens. But, they moved with lightning speed. It was needless to talk about regular horses… because even the legendary warhorses couldn't compare with them.
However, it was even more strange was that these men weren't riding on any saddles. They weren't using any reigns, or stirrups either; nor were they shouting commands at their mounts. But, those strange steeds were still able to detect the routes by themselves. Moreover, the expressions of those two men made it seem as if this was a perfectly normal thing…
There was a huge package at the back of each of those two steeds. These packages were terrifyingly big in size. And, it was evident that they were of considerable weight.
These two men had come upon many people with shining eyes and drooling mouths all through their journey.
That was because those two packages were emitting the smell of medicinal herbs. In fact, they smelled like first-rate medicinal herbs! No! Even top-notch rarities couldn't describe the preciousness of those herbs. So, calling them 'legendary treasures from the heavens' was more appropriate…
