Chapter 25: Two Cases of Medicine!
Translator: GodBrandy Editor: Kurisu

When one first met Soft Feather, what they would remember was probably her long legs. But after one got along with her for some time, what would come to their mind first when they thought of her was definitely her shy smile, which was very cute.
At this time, Tubo and two other boys stood up and quickly came to Shuanghang, asking, “What’s the matter, Shuhang?”
It was the three roommates of Shuhang who felt worried and curious when they saw that a big dark-skinned guy came to visit Shuhang.
“Nothing, he is a courier. I’ve got two express deliveries and I need to sign them.” Shuhang smiled and turned back to Sima Jiang. “Hello, Little Jiang, where are the parcels?”
Little Jiang… The corners of the mouth of the man in suit twitched. It had been years since anyone dared to call him that. I didn’t expect I’d still have a chance to hear a person—a young lad—call me that.
However, he still grinned in a friendly manner. “They’ve been put at the door of your dorm. Please check it.”
“Ok, let’s go then? I have a 15-minute break between classes,” said Song Shuhang.
Sima Jiang laughed and said, “That’s what I’ve come here for!”
❄️❄️❄️
On the second floor of the boy’s dorm, at the door of their dorm.
Four men in black suits guarded two 80-by-80 cartons, each with a serious face.
Song Shuhang was surprised. “Is Fengshou Express Delivery’s service always so good?”
If it was, how could other express delivery companies manage to survive?
“Haha, our service has always been good. But this time, the customer is a little bit special, so the service is even better,” Sima Jiang laughed.
“Sorry for troubling you,” Song Shuhang nodded, came to the two large cartons, and checked the delivery note.
Sure enough, he saw the name “Soft Feather” in the column of ‘Sender’. But, the mailing address was blank.
The two cartons were probably full of the raw materials for refining ‘simplified body tempering liquid’ that Soft Feather had promised to give him.
“Do you need to open it?” Sima Jiang asked politely.
In fact, he didn’t need to open it. Sima Jiang would never dare to open the two big cartons by himself.
“Ha, no. If there is any problem, I can contact you directly.” Song Shuhang waved the name card held in his hand.
“Sure. Student Shuhang, if you don’t have any problem, please sign here.” Sima Jiang seemed pleased to hear that. He pointed to the delivery note with a smile.
“OK.” Song Shuhang reached out with his hand and signed his name quickly.
“Ok, goodbye, student Shuhang. Have a nice day.” Sima Jiang waved his hand and turned away with the four men in black.
Shuhang felt the five guys didn’t look like couriers. They were cool like hell. Song Shuhang opened the door, ‘Oh, I forgot to ask them to move the two cartons in. Are they heavy?’
He was very impressed with the big suitcase of Soft Feather, so he was worried that the two cartons would weigh in tonnage.
He picked up the two large cartons. Great, not too heavy.
He put them onto his bed one after another.
Closing the door, Song Shuhang couldn’t wait to open them. There were small delicate wooden boxes in the cartons. There were four layers in each carton, four small wooden boxes per layer. So, there was a total of thirty-two wooden boxes in the two cartons.
Carefully opening a small wooden box, he saw over forty kinds of medicinal herbs neatly placed in it.
There were some medicine herbs that Shuhang could recognize, such as ginseng, wolfberry, Rising Sun Stone, Maiden’s Fragrance, and so on.
There were also some that Shuhang had never seen but which smelled very good. Shuhang felt like his whole body was bathed in medicinal fragrance by merely sniffing at them. They were probably magical medicinal materials, such as Fresh Overlord Branch and sliced Nine-Yang Scarlet Flame Bamboo.
Staring at the two cartons of medicine, Song Shuhang was stunned…
Among the two cartons of medicinal materials, only ginseng slices would be worth a great fortune, let alone the other ones. And, some medicine herbs in the cartons, such as Morning Dew Mysterious Grass, Overlord Branch, and sliced Nine-Yang Scarlet Flame Bamboo, were probably a hundred times more valuable than ginseng.
But it was not their value that made Shuhang stunned.
He was just wondering, Are these things the ingredients necessary for ‘simplified body tempering liquid’?
With these medicine herbs, can I refine ‘simplified body tempering liquid’ with the method introduced by Medicine Master in Nine Provinces Number One Group, by concocting them in a big pot and at an appropriate temperature?
What effects will this body tempering liquid have?Can it really thoroughly remold a person’s body like what is described in Xianxia novels?
Perhaps I can tell whether cultivation really exists with these medicinal materials and the pill formula of ‘Medicine Master’!
Once this thought popped up, it was like setting a fire to Shuhang’s mind, which made him very eager to have a try.
Song Shuhang was not a stubborn person. If the body tempering liquid really had the legendary magical effect, he would believe in the existence of cultivation.
But, what should he do if he had confirmed the existence of cultivation?
I have no classes this afternoon. There are forty-five kinds of medicinal herbs. Each will take five minutes or so, so it will take me three to four hours in total. Maybe I can give it a try this afternoon!
Song Shuhang never hesitated to carry out his plans. As long as he had been determined, he would get down to it!
If I want to refine the pill liquid, first I should have a… pill furnace?
However, there certainly wasn’t any pill furnace for sale on the market; maybe he could get one from Taobao, but it definitely would only be a toy.
It was impossible for him to get a real pill furnace if he was going to refine the liquid this afternoon, so he had to find something to replace it.
Song Shuhang came to the small kitchen and started to search.
Soon, he saw something that could be used to concoct medicine… a hot pot.
However, he immediately denied his crazy idea, No, this thing is just too different from a pill furnace.
He hadn’t seen any pill furnace, and neither did he know whether it was similar to those shown in movies. But, anyway, it should be a furnace, and a hot pot was just too different from it.
Putting down the hot pot, Shuhang started to search in the small kitchen once again.
After a long time, he got nothing to show for his efforts.
Electric rice cooker, hot kettle, pan, pressure cooker… none of them could replace a pill furnace.
Pressure cooker looked more solid, but it cooked with a high pressure, so it couldn’t be opened halfway. However, when refining body tempering liquid, one had to add the medicine materials every five minutes.
It means that, among the tools available, the final and only choice should be… Song Shuhang stared at the hot pot reluctantly.
Well, it’s only for concocting. Maybe I can try?—he thought—Anyway, there are thirty-two portions of medicine herbs. Even if I fail once, it’s acceptable.
It’s just too wasteful. After all, these medicine herbs seem to be worth a lot of money.
Alright, let me have a try once. I would never succeed if I don’t have a try. Even if I fail, I can gain experience from it. Song Shuhang had made up his mind.
Then I’ll have a try this afternoon!
Hopefully, the roommates wouldn’t care when he was fiddling about in the kitchen. Or, maybe he should go out and find another place to try it secretly?
However, now he had to go back to finish his last class this morning.
Shuhang opened his own cupboard and placed the boxes containing medicine herbs into it one by one.
The cupboard’s size was just right. He could put all the medicine herbs into it after taking out all the stuff inside.
That’s great, otherwise, I don’t know where I would hide these things, Song Shuhang thought.
