The Lord of the Laws of Heaven

Chapter 3 Potion
Xiao Jun opened the ink box on the table, took out the ink stick, and poured an appropriate amount of water on the inkstone.

Start grinding the ink, and when it reaches the right concentration, start dipping the pen in the ink with the papers neatly placed in front of you.

Xiao Jun held the brush and began to deduce in his mind, trying to understand the effect of each herb.

"To clear the impurities in the body, first, you need to promote the circulation of the Qi channels. Second, you need to purify the flow of the Qi channels. Third, you need to strengthen your own vital energy."

After deciding on the idea for the medicine, I began to write down the name of the medicine by comparing the interactions between the human body and the medicine.

Soon, hundreds of herbs had been written down. Xiao Jun looked at the prescription in front of him and closed his eyes in thought.

In my mind, I continued to research and deduce, often crossing out some herb names and adding some.

To deduce the classic prescriptions, a large number of herbs are intertwined with each other and need to be constantly integrated with the human body. This is a very huge project.

Xiao Jun closed his eyes, deducing the large number of herbs in his mind, frowned slightly, and sweat appeared on his forehead.

He needs to take care of the arrangement and combination of hundreds of herbs, and each herb must form an organic whole with each other, amplifying and balancing each other.

It also needs to be interconnected with the complex human body structure.

This was a high-intensity mental activity. Afterwards, Xiao Jun opened his eyes and picked up the pen to revise the prescription again.

After about two hours, Xiao Jun sighed, cleaned the brush, and put it back on the pen holder.

"It's really too difficult to deduce such a prescription." Xiao Jun sighed. Although these medicines cannot be called precious, they are complicated enough.

I haven't succeeded in deducing it yet.

"It seems we need to find a new way." Xiao Jun sighed.

A bag was pulled out from under the bed, and there were some gold coins in the bag.

Some of these gold coins are the basic gold coins distributed within the family, and some are the gold coins given to Xiao Jun by his parents every month.

After packing the gold coins, he left his house, then left the Xiao family and walked onto the street.

Xiao Jun walked around a few corners and came to a market town. This place was essentially a group of mercenaries and chambers of commerce, and the Xiao family was the actual ruler of this market town.

All mercenaries and chambers of commerce need to pay taxes to the Xiao family here. Apart from that, it is just an ordinary market town.

Although Xiao Jun looks young, he is not thin. Instead, he is tall. He is only nine years old this year, but he has grown to a height of almost 1.6 meters.

First, they came to a pharmacy selling medicinal herbs, where there was a chubby middle-aged man.

Xiao Jun walked in, wearing the Xiao family uniform with some logos on it. The middle-aged man saw Xiao Jun and came forward with a look of interest on his face.

"Sir, are you a member of the Xiao family? Members of the Xiao family can get an 80% discount when they come to my shop. What can I do for you?"

"I'm here to buy some medicine. Do you have the golden needles used by doctors?"

"Of course. Guest, you can come and take a look..." The chubby middle-aged man smiled and led Xiao Jun a little further inside.

……

After some bargaining, Xiao Jun used about ten gold coins to pack a large bag of herbs and a needle bag containing a set of gold needles used by doctors.

Xiao Jun judged the attitude of the pharmacy owner through medical observation, smell, questioning and palpation, and by observing the changes in his pupils and micro-expressions.

Listen to your boss's breathing and use words and silence as entry points to test him.

Finally, there was a touch, and he used subtle fighting spirit to control and sense the changes in the qi and blood of the prescription boss.

This way you can observe the boss's psychological activities and further bargain.

"It's really interesting. Others who study medicine use the four diagnostic methods of observation, auscultation, questioning and palpation to diagnose diseases, but I use them to bargain." Xiao Jun said with some self-mockery.

The pharmacy owner made some money, but not as much as he did at the beginning.

He kicked the golden needles back into his arms, carried a large bag of herbs, and left. These herbs were not precious, but such a large bag was not cheap at all.

Xiao Jun was walking on the street carrying herbs on his back when he suddenly saw a boy and a girl walking towards him.

The young man was full of vigor and spirit, and the young woman was like an elf. Xiao Jun soon realized that these two people were Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er.

Although Xiao Yan was full of high spirits, Xiao Xun'er's eyes sometimes rippled, and her attention was all focused on Xiao Yan.

Sometimes Xiao Yan would talk about his insights from cultivation, sometimes he would boast about being a genius. Xiao Xun'er would cover her slightly open mouth with her hand, looking surprised.

The look in her eyes revealed admiration, which made Xiao Yan even more proud and happy.

Suddenly, Xiao Yan saw Xiao Jun walking towards him carrying a large bag of herbs.

"Cousin Xiao Jun, what are you carrying?"

"Cousin Xiao Yan? These are just herbs."

Xiao Yan was surprised and asked, "What do you want these herbs for?"

"I don't have any talent in cultivation, so I began to study medicine. I want to become a doctor who cures diseases and saves lives in the future." Xiao Jun replied with a smile.

"A doctor who cures illnesses and saves lives? It's a respected profession. Let me help you carry it. I'm a fighter now, so this is easy for me."

"Thank you, but I can still do this." Xiao Jun shook his head and declined. "Okay." Xiao Yan nodded and continued to drag Xiao Xun'er shopping.

Xiao Jun shook his head slightly. He actually hoped that Xiao Yan would quickly become the Dou Emperor, so that he could win without any effort.

But now, we still need to be self-reliant. Of course, people can choose to win without doing anything, but they must never give up on self-struggle.

If you are not suitable for practicing fighting spirit, then become a doctor and master the secrets of life.

After returning to the Xiao family, he went to his room, put down a bag of herbs, and took out a set of golden needles from his arms.

"The main things have been bought, but a few more things are needed."

After saying that, he left again and arrived at the market, where he bought some more items, such as some medicine jars, mortars for pounding medicine, etc., which were relatively cheap.

Then they came to the back mountain of the Xiao family. The trees on the back mountain were very lush, and Xiao Jun only brought an axe.

Dou Qi condensed like a tiny thread, clinging to the sharp edge of the hatchet. If Dou Qi cultivation is not working, then strengthen the control of Dou Qi, making it more precise.

With the blessing of fighting spirit, the sharpness of the hatchet is greatly improved.

In addition to easily clearing away common thorns, even some trees can be easily cut down.

Through Dou Qi, I could sense the stems and Qi channels of trees. Yes, trees are living things, so they also have Qi channels.

The sharp blade of the hatchet, imbued with fighting spirit, follows the grain and energy of the tree, easily cutting down the tree and penetrating into the gaps between them.

In a short while, Xiao Jun cleared a way up the mountain and built a platform halfway up the mountain.

Use a shovel to dig out a platform, and use your own yellowish fighting spirit to sense some stones and dig them out.

These stones are aligned by shape to form a platform.

This kind of work often made Xiao Jun feel tired, but he only needed to meditate and regulate his breathing to quickly recover and resume working.

This platform made of stones is about seven zhang long and wide. Just building these stone platforms took Xiao Jun a whole day to work.

Xiao Jun did not go back either. He sat cross-legged on the stone platform and began to use his medical skills to treat himself. He not only eliminated the impurities in his life, but also treated his fatigue.

Mosquitoes and ants often crawled onto Xiao Jun, but Xiao Jun easily shook them off.

After recovering the next day, I first looked for some stones as the base of the wall, cut down some trees, and collected some clay.

They started by building a house with wood and thatched roof.

By chance, they found some flint, started a fire, made some tiles and used some stone chips to cover the roof, and then used clay to decorate it.

After building an ordinary stone house, Xiao Jun began to enter the valley deeper into the mountain, only to find the clear mountain spring water inside.

He washed his clothes, wrung them out and dried them, then continued to bathe in the mountain spring.

Then he went down the mountain and returned to his own small house inside the Xiao family.

He sent some things to the stone platform halfway up the mountain through the road he had opened up.

Next to the house, a basic stove was built using stones and clay, with medicine jars placed on the stove and burning firewood underneath.

There are also some plants that, after being lit, will go out of their flames, leaving only billowing smoke and emitting a strange fragrance. These are all used to repel insects.

Inside the medicine jar is a decoction that Xiao Jun is currently researching.

Wrap the lid of the hot medicine jar with cloth, and when you open it, you will find boiling black herbal soup inside.

Xiao Jun used a spoon to scoop out a little of the medicine and drank it. A cool feeling spread throughout his body, and he felt like he was baptized.

Feeling the effect of the medicine on the body's internal Qi and meridians, Xiao Jun shook his head slightly. Actually, the medicine was quite good, able to dissolve the impurities in his body and make him feel lighter.

The mind became more light and lively, but the effect did not meet Xiao Jun's expectations. He continued to construct the decoction recipe in his mind.

Collect these decoctions, pick up the herbs again and continue to boil them.

Sometimes when the medicine runs out, I go down the mountain to buy herbs.

However, soon, a problem was put before Xiao Jun.

That means Xiao Jun doesn’t have enough money.

"The next decoction will still require a large amount of herbs for experiments." Many plans and inspirations appeared in Xiao Jun's mind.

"I can use my medical skills to diagnose and exchange for money..."

"You can also sell anesthetics and healing potions..."

Although the medicines made by pharmacists were not as effective as those made by alchemists, they still had a market. As for making poisons and making profits, Xiao Jun rejected this idea as soon as it appeared.

Making poison is very dangerous. Poison makers are often killed by their own poisons. The most they can do is make some poisons for self-defense.

“We still need to make money!”
