The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 160
Chapter 160 Effect Of Prescription
“Ancient recipe? Is it effective on incurable lunar disease?” The Su Clan’s father and daughter were somewhat surprised. They exchanged glances, both of them slightly surprised and doubtful. Obviously, they did not believe it.
Over the years, Su Mansion had invited countless famous doctors and taken countless medicines. However, they were helpless against this disease and had no effect. They could only slowly wait for death. They were extremely desperate. He didn’t expect to hear such a thing from a young man like Li Qing.
“Really? Is it really effective?”
Their expressions were filled with suspicion. After all, he had already tried too many prescriptions, but the results had all ended in disappointment. Obviously, he no longer had much hope.
Li Qing smiled faintly and didn’t care about the suspicions of the Su Clan’s father and daughter.
In fact, even he wasn’t sure if the prescription was effective or not, so he said, “Try this ancient prescription and you’ll know if it’s effective. It won’t harm Miss Su. If you guys aren’t willing to try, then forget it. Pretend that I didn’t say anything.”
‘”This” City Lord Su hesitated. He did believe that Li Qing’s prescription could cure Lunar Temple’s incurable illness. He felt that it was not reliable. He didn’t want his beloved daughter to take any random prescriptions.
“Father, I’m willing to give it a try.” Su Jingxiang suddenly said.
“How can I randomly try something like a prescription? What if something goes wrong?” City Lord Su shook his head.
“Anyway, I don’t have a few days left to live. Is there anything else I need to be afraid of? Besides, Big Brother Li can’t possibly harm me, right?” Su Jingxiang said.
“City Lord, although I don’t know how effective my prescription is, you can rest assured that it won’t kill you.” Li Qing said.
“This …”
“Anyway, I just want to give it a try!” Su Jingxiang’s expression was firm.
“Alright, there’s no harm in trying.” City Lord Su nodded and immediately made a decision in his heart, “Even if there is a sliver of hope, you can’t miss it. Please write down this ancient recipe, Protector Li.”
“Alright, I’ll write it now.” Li Qing said, “City Lord, you don’t need to call me Protector Li. It feels strange. Just call me Li Qing.”
“Alright, I’ll call you Li Qing in the future.”
Li Qing took out a pen and paper and began to copy a prescription from the Medicine King’s Ceremony.
There are several prescriptions for treating lunar meridians. This one written by Li Qing is the simplest one. The medicinal ingredients inside are relatively ordinary and can be collected easily. Moreover, there is no need to refine them. All you need to do is put the medicinal ingredients into the furnace and add water to extract the medicinal liquid.
Of course, such a simple prescription would definitely have the worst effect. Li Qing’s intention was to see if it would work.
Using such a simple ancient recipe to try and treat the lunar meridians to see if it would have any effect was obviously the most suitable.
If it was effective, Li Qing could proceed to the next step and further treat the lunar meridians.
If it didn’t work, it meant that the contents of the Medicine King’s Ceremony might be wrong, then everything would be over, and Li Qing couldn’t do anything about it.
City Lord Su got the prescription and took a look. Seeing that it was written with ordinary medicinal ingredients, it wasn’t too precious. This made him even more uncertain. Using these ordinary medicines could cure lunar meridians?
It’s not even possible.
However, since he had already decided to give it a try, he wouldn’t be uncertain again and again.
“There’s no time to delay. Then I’ll take the prescription to collect the medicinal ingredients. I won’t disturb you any longer. Jingxiang, let’s go.” City Lord Su said in a hurry, wanting to see if the prescription had any effect.
As they spoke, they left the room.
…
Two days later, City Lord Su gathered all the ingredients needed for the prescription and began to boil the liquid.
However, Li Qing did not know about these things. City Lord Su had sent people to do these things. He had been learning about the situation in the surroundings for the past two days, dealing with some people from the Su Clan, and he quickly became familiar with them.
The people in the Su Manor soon found out that Li Qing was such a big shot, so they naturally didn’t care too much about him.
Apart from understanding the situation around him, Li Qing spent most of his time thinking and carefully recalling the memories passed down to him by the Demon Ancestor, learning the knowledge inside.
On this day, footsteps came from outside the door. It was obvious that they were in a hurry. Then, the door was knocked on and City Lord Su’s voice sounded, “Is Li Qing here? There’s something urgent! Open the door!”
Li Qing stepped forward and opened the door. Outside was the Su Clan’s father and daughter.
City Lord Su immediately rushed in with Su Jingxiang. He grabbed Li Qing’s arms and shook them vigorously. He said excitedly, “Li Qing, the prescription is effective! It really is effective! Haha-”
It seemed that City Lord Su was extremely happy, he actually ignored his own image and shouted loudly, showing some disgrace.
As for Su Jingxiang herself, there was a smile on her face. At this moment, her face was not so pale, and it seemed to have a hint of red.
“Oh? Are you referring to the effects of the prescription on the lunar meridians?” Li Qing looked at City Lord Su’s excited expression and felt a hint of joy.
“That’s right.” Su Jingxiang nodded, “After I took the medicinal soup, I felt my entire body warm. The cold energy in my body became much weaker, as if it was no longer corroded by the extreme cold energy, and my body no longer suffered from the pain of the past. The effect is very obvious!”
“Thank you so much, Li Qing!” City Lord Su patted his shoulder and finally calmed down. “Not only did you save my daughter’s life, you also cured her lunar meridians. I really don’t know how to thank you!”
“The lunar meridians have not been cured yet. Don’t be happy too early.” Li Qing shook his head. “If it’s so easy to cure, then it can’t be said to be a terminal illness.”
“Oh? What do you mean?” City Lord Su’s heart skipped a beat. “But the chill on my daughter’s body has indeed decreased! As long as she keeps taking this medicine, won’t it be cured?”
“That’s just a temporary solution, not a permanent solution.” Li Qing said with a bitter smile.
“What does it mean to treat the symptoms? What does it mean to treat the root cause?”
“The Yin Qi that Miss Su is stuck in is only an external manifestation of this incurable disease. The essential reason is the Lunar Qi that is lurking in her body! If the Lunar Qi is not expelled, the Yin Qi will flow endlessly.”
“That’s why!”
“This prescription can at most extend Miss Su’s lifespan by a few years. No matter how long it takes, it’s impossible.” Li Qing guessed, “It only dissolved a small portion of the cold energy in his body. After a long time, the lunar energy will continue to grow, and the prescription will gradually lose its effect.”
“It can only be extended for a few years? Then what should we do?” City Lord Su’s expression changed drastically, and his originally happy expression also became gloomy.
He anxiously said, “Li Qing, if you have any way to cure my daughter’s illness, I will agree to any condition!”
Li Qing stood up, his mind spinning rapidly. During these past few days, he had also thought carefully about how to treat the lunar meridians. He already had some thoughts in his heart.
Now that he knew that the prescription was effective, he could prove that the records in the Medicine King’s Ceremony were correct. Thus, there was a breakthrough.
Li Qing asked, “Can Miss Su cultivate true qi?”
“No!” City Lord Su shook his head. “Right now, her meridians in her body are completely blocked. She is completely unable to cultivate.”
“Sure enough. Then why didn’t she cultivate zhenqi as a child to increase her strength? After all, the stronger she was, the stronger her resistance would be.”
“There’s nothing I can do about it. Once I cultivate my True Qi, I will be devoured by the cold Qi in my body. Instead, it will increase the cold Qi, making it even more dangerous. Therefore, I don’t dare to cultivate my True Qi.”
“This is really troublesome.” Li Qing’s mind raced and he slowly said, “I did think of a way to treat the lunar meridians, but I don’t know if it will succeed in the end. Would you like to give it a try?”
“Of course! Right now, only you can save my daughter. No matter what request, I will agree!”
“First of all, you guys should continue to use the prescription I gave you. Take it every few days. Don’t stop, so as to relieve the chill in your body.”
“That’s for sure. The medicine can’t stop.”
Li Qing continued, “I also have an ancient recipe. The effect is better than the previous one, but it is more demanding and requires more precious medicinal ingredients.”
“There’s also an ancient recipe? That’s great!” City Lord Su was overjoyed.
Li Qing wrote out another prescription and handed it to City Lord Su. He said, “Collect all the medicinal ingredients on it and give it to me. I need to use a special method to refine it.”
“Alright, I will collect it as soon as possible!” City Lord Su looked down. Indeed, there were quite a few precious medicinal ingredients. Fortunately, all of them could be found.
“Do you trust me so much? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll take these precious medicinal ingredients and fill my pockets?” Li Qing stared at City Lord Su with a faint smile.
“Even if I don’t believe you!” City Lord Su said solemnly, “Right now, only your prescription can be effective. Even if there is only a sliver of hope, I will still try. Even if I am deceived by you, I am willing!”
“Father really loves me like a mountain!” Li Qing couldn’t help but sigh.
The ancient recipe he had just copied required a low-grade alchemist to refine it. He intended to refine it himself, so he had City Lord Su collect the medicinal ingredients and hand them over to him.
