Chapter 31: Practicing Medicine in Another World

  Since Little Meteor taught them to use seasonings for barbecue, the whole village no longer eats plain and unflavored barbecue. The women and children in the village also have an extra job: pulling out grass, specifically the three types of grass that bring out the flavor. Fortunately, the grassland next to the village is very large, and the demand for grass during barbecues is not high, otherwise with a population of over 500 people, it would be depleted in no time. Nevertheless, according to Little Meteor's estimate, the three types of grass on the nearby grassland can only last everyone two months, after which they will have to go elsewhere to find more if they want to continue eating barbecue with flavor.

  The workload of women and children has increased, and the workload of men has also increased. With the delicious meat, everyone's appetite has opened up, and now they eat twice as much in one meal as before! So now they have to hunt twice as much too! Fortunately, the stimulation of the fragrant meat makes them full of energy. Moreover, their village is located on the edge of the Magic Beast Forest, and the Magic Beast Forest has never been short of magic beasts, especially low-level magic beasts, which are countless.

  Today is the 17th day that Xiaoliuxing has been in this village. Due to Xiaoliuxing's selfless dedication, the entire village's standard of living has greatly improved, so everyone looks at him with admiration. Although they know he can't understand their words, whenever they see him, they will say a sentence "Xiaozai you are great" to Xiaoliuxing.

  The little shooting star also knew some things about them during this time. The men in the village usually go hunting for six days in a row, to the same forest where they stayed for a year, and then rest for two days. During these two days, they will practice fighting and improve their strength. And when Little Shooting Star came, it was the second day of their rest. When hunting, they would leave early in the morning and return in the evening, everyone eating roasted meat together.

  At other times, the villagers would eat some plants that they planted themselves, which were tasteless and only served to fill their stomachs. The women in the village would skin and dry the game brought back by the men after they went hunting. Moreover, Xiaoliu Xing found that the people in this village were generally not very intelligent.

  But there are exceptions, that horse-headed uncle is one of them. He's the smartest in the village and also the village chief. There's another one, the one who was sunbathing at the village entrance that day, and later asked questions with Wuri after seeing them. And upon observation, Little Meteor found out he's also the village chief's father, as well as Wuri's grandfather. It seems intelligence can be inherited too.

  In these 17 days, Xiao Liuxing accompanied Xiao Chuntian to watch his and Suo Wa's sparring match at Wu Ri's invitation. Xiao Liuxing was completely uninterested in their childish play-fighting, but was only interested in their bodies and the aura produced by their bodies. Don't misunderstand, when it says he is interested in their bodies, it means he is interested in the structure of their bodies.

  After several explorations by Xiao Liuxing, it was found that the people here and their own bodies have only 60% similarity. Their bodies have a few more organs than their own, but they have fewer meridians. The route of their qi running in the body is very simple, most of which has been stored in the body cells, and a small part has been stored in a position similar to the dantian. Of course, these are what Xiao Liuxing saw with his divine consciousness over the past few days. However, it's clear that Uri and Sova are not working at all now, just starting out, so Xiao Liuxing can't see the whole of this kung fu, so he can't evaluate it either. It won't be high anyway, at most it's just a category of martial arts, and it can't be considered as cultivating the truth.

  The little meteor was not interested in their sparring, but Little Spring was very interested. She watched them fighting back and forth, feeling excited and occasionally shouting "Add oil!" or "Right foot out!" or "Left leg out!", getting more and more excited. Unfortunately, the two people who were sparring couldn't understand what she was saying, otherwise their skills would definitely have improved, because Little Spring's shouts during their sparring could be considered a kind of indirect guidance.

  It's just as well that Uri and Sova only practiced for a couple of hours in the morning, leaving more time to play; otherwise, Little Meteor would be bored to death. But amidst all the fun, there was still work to be done - finding that seasoning herb! Of course, Little Meteor went with them, but he wasn't looking for those three herbs; instead, he was searching for medicinal herbs and checking their properties. No matter who you are, it's impossible to have a smooth life without any problems, even cultivators face issues.

  Although cultivators won't contract mortal illnesses like fever or the common cold, this doesn't stop Xiao Liuxing from searching for low-grade medicinal herbs. A good doctor not only needs to know about rare and precious medicines but also needs to be familiar with ordinary, commonly used medicines. In fact, they need to have an even deeper understanding of these ordinary medicines than the high-end ones, because those top-grade, extraordinary medicines are hard to come by, while illnesses can occur at any time.

  When you're sick, and you don't have those top-notch medicines, you can only use ordinary medicines to mix and match to achieve the therapeutic effect. However, mixing medicines requires the person doing the mixing to have a very deep understanding of pharmacology; otherwise, the mixed medicine might not just fail to save your life, but even take it! Of course, this isn't what Little Meteorite is most concerned about, because Little Meteorite has many high-end medicinal materials on her body. Treating herself is no problem. Or rather, for now, what Little Meteorite has is enough.

  The most important reason for identifying the medicinal properties of those general medicinal materials is that identifying the medicinal properties of a herb is not only to be very clear about one's own physical condition, but also to know what state the body is in when using this medicine, how its efficacy is exerted after taking it, and how its efficacy is exercised and circulated in the body, through what kind of way it works, and finally how to treat the problems that arise in the body.

  Every time he identifies a medicinal material, Xiao Liuxing must think through the above questions clearly and in detail in his mind. Every time he thinks through the above questions, Xiao Liuxing's understanding of his body will increase a bit, and every time he understands his body a bit more, Xiao Liuxing believes that the road to future cultivation will definitely be less bumpy. This is something that Xiao Liuxing has no doubt about. Because all cultivation takes place within one's own body! This is the simplest, yet most fundamental question of all!

  Since the last breakthrough of Yuan Ying, Xiao Liuxing discovered that he could understand the principle of Hunyuan Qi running in his body, and then he found this fundamental problem and began to decide to use medicine to strengthen his understanding of his body. That's why he has such a performance now. Not only him, but also Xiaoliuxing is constantly introducing the knowledge of medicinal materials to Xiaochuntian while identifying medicinal materials. Although her thinking is not mature yet, it can still lay the foundation for the future.

  This afternoon, Xiaoliu Xing and Xiao Chun Tian were busy as usual on the big lawn with Wuri and Suowa. Suddenly, a noisy sound came from the direction of the Magic Beast Forest. When they looked up, they found that the people who went hunting in the morning had all returned, each carrying injuries, and they were running towards the village with tense expressions. The village chief was being carried by several people, and through his spiritual awareness, Xiaoliu Xing discovered that he was pale, covered in blood, and had already fainted.

  The injured area was his left shoulder, a big wound, with a chunk of flesh bitten off by something, and the blood on his body was all flowing out from that wound. Now that wound was wrapped in animal hide by others, slightly stopping the bleeding. Not only that, according to Xiaoliuxing's observation, he had also been poisoned, the teeth of the thing that bit him were venomous, and the area around the wound had completely turned black. Fortunately, it wasn't a fast-acting poison, otherwise he would have died before they even made it back.

  Although so, the poison will soon reach his heart, at most 1 hour. If the poison cannot be solved within an hour, he will still die. Judging from their urgent situation of carrying him back, there should be someone in this village who has a way to save him. Anyway, there is still one hour left, Xiaoliu Xing decided to take a look first and act later if it doesn't work out.

  The men in the village came back ahead of time, naturally attracting everyone's attention. When they saw the village chief being carried by someone, they were all shocked and especially Wu Li was scared to tears. Everyone put down their work and went towards the direction of the people who came back, hoping to help with something.

  In the midst of everyone's tension, the village chief was taken to the stone house where Old Horse Head lived and put on a stone bed. A few people stayed inside, while others stood quietly outside, waiting for Old Horse Head to treat their respected village chief. Some people had their hands clasped together in front of their chest, muttering something that seemed like a prayer. Little Meteor and Little Spring were also standing inside because they were small and nobody noticed them.

  The old horse-headed man carefully lifted the animal skin covering the wound, revealing a fist-sized wound to everyone. The wound had long since rotted and emitted a foul odor, and now his left side had turned black, almost reaching his heart. The severity of the situation made everyone who saw it gasp in shock, too terrifying. Xia Chun Tian was so scared that she didn't dare look again, habitually hiding behind Xiao Liu Xing's back.

  The old horse-headed man furrowed his brow, carefully examining the wound and his son's entire body. He then asked the cow-headed man standing beside him, who had also participated in the hunt, some questions. The cow-headed man replied with something that not only made the old horse-headed man's brow furrow even deeper but also caused a collective gasp from the others. Little Meteor thought to himself that they must have encountered a monster that was completely unbeatable, and those people were probably shocked by what the cow-headed uncle had said about that monster.

  The old horse-headed man re-examined the village chief's injuries after hearing the cow-headed uncle's words, and tried to transmit the energy from his own body into the village chief's body. However, he found that it had no effect on the toxin and let out a deep sigh. He then shook his head at everyone watching him, and in that instant, Little Streamer noticed that the corners of his eyes were becoming moist.

  It wasn't just him, after seeing Old Horse's head shake, everyone suddenly collapsed to the ground, as if they had used up all their strength, and left tears behind. Wuri was even more unbearable, running into his grandfather's arms, wailing loudly. Perhaps it was his crying that infected him, but Old Horse's head, who had been holding back, also started sobbing.

  At the same time, Little Stream also heard Little Spring's sobbing. Turning around, Little Stream pulled Little Spring who was standing behind him to the front, then wiped away her tears while comforting her, saying: "Good girl, don't cry, it doesn't look good when you cry, brother will cure the village chief soon, good girl, stop crying." Hearing that her brother could save the poor village chief, Little Spring indeed stopped sobbing and smiled with tears in her eyes. If not for Little Stream holding her back, she would have jumped up. Of course, she didn't doubt whether Little Stream was deceiving her or not, because she trusted her brother. When brother said it's possible, then it must be possible, and brother had never deceived her before!

  Comforting Xiaochun Tian, Xiao Liuxing suddenly felt a little relieved in his heart. Then he picked up the herbs in his hand and walked to the side of the dying village chief when others were not paying attention. Those herbs were what he had prepared when he was checking the village chief's injuries with his divine sense, but everyone's attention was drawn to the village chief, so no one noticed him.

  And he had already crushed those herbs on his way here. The herbs in his hand are now powder. Walking to the village chief's side, Xiaoliu took out a bit of the powder and put it into the village chief's mouth, then put the rest all onto the wound. Then just quietly waited.

  The experiment was very successful, with a very significant effect. When the powder was placed on the wound, the blood turned green as soon as it came into contact with it, and other blood that came into contact with this green blood also turned green. In this way, the green color quickly spread throughout the body, looking very eerie. However, apart from its eerie appearance, the skin that had originally turned black due to poisoning was directly dissolved when it came into contact with the green blood, just like snow meeting fire.

  The blood that digested the black toxin directly turned red and flowed back into the body, followed by the green blood behind. The green blood kept advancing, the red blood kept flowing back, and the black toxin kept disappearing. When about half of the black toxin had disappeared, it seemed to have learned its lesson and began to retreat! There were a large number of fragments waiting for it at the wound, which couldn't move, and other places were all green blood, even more impossible, so the only way out was through the throat to reach the mouth, and then lurked.

  Unfortunately, the small meteorite thought of this situation when using this medicine. The powder that was initially put into his mouth took effect at this time. The result naturally doesn't need to be said again. The toxin was completely eliminated, and the village chief's skin returned to its original white color. Although his face was still pale, it was no longer deathly pale. Even the wound on his shoulder was no longer festering with rotting flesh, but had returned to normal flesh color.

  How amazing, it's truly amazing, is this human wisdom? Everyone exclaimed. Actually, when the little meteorite first approached the village, everyone was so immersed in the pain of losing the village chief that they didn't notice. But when the little meteorite opened the village chief's mouth and put the grass into it, people discovered it. The cow-headed uncle was about to stop it, but was stopped by Old Horse Head, who asked everyone to be quiet and not disturb the little meteorite.

  Last time, Xiaoliu Xing was able to create a miraculous fragrance with some grass for the barbecue. This time, will he be able to bring about another miracle with these grasses? Lao Ma Tou Ren hopes so, really hopes so! Moreover, since he himself has completely run out of options, letting him try wouldn't hurt either. "A dead horse can still be used as a doctor." And Xiaoliu Xing didn't disappoint him either. Right before his own eyes, the toxins were completely eliminated, and as for the remaining green blood in his son's body, Lao Ma Tou Ren saw it slowly turning red, so his son's complete recovery was only a matter of time.

  It's too amazing, he must teach himself! This is the only thought in Lao Ma Tou Ren's mind. Of course, Xiao Liu Xing never intended to hide it. Just now, if Niu Tou Ren had come to interrupt him, Xiao Liu Xing was ready to reveal his skills and take him down, after all, saving people comes first, and he couldn't care about hiding his skills anymore. However, Lao Ma Tou Ren stopped him, which made Xiao Liu Xing even more satisfied.
