Chapter 317 - 317: Anesthesia Powder
After knowing Gongsun Zhongjing’s purpose of picking herbs, Xiaoxiao generously took out some other herbs from the space, making Gongsun Zhongjing pleasantly surprised and puzzled. “Why do I feel like I’ve been to this place before?”
Xiaoxiao quickly stopped what she was doing and went home.
Xiao Ran was also unsatisfied. The mother and daughter were equally reluctant to leave as they walked out of Dayan Mountain in a daze. Behind them, Gu Chang’an smiled dotingly, feeling satisfied.
Doctor Gongsun said that Ran’er could not walk around casually after she started her treatment. That would be even more uncomfortable for her, who was active, than going to jail. If she wanted to play now, he would let her.
After returning home, Gongsun Zhongjing taught Xiaoxiao some tools to use later as he concocted medicinal herbs. At the same time, he explained, “That thing must have grown with the flesh. If you want to take it out, I have to cut the flesh. This way, this area will be missing a portion in the future. Its
appearance…”
Xiao Ran didn’t care. “It’s fine since outsiders can’t see it and my family doesn’t mind.”
Gongsun Zhongjing nodded. “In addition, I want to tell you the worst possibility first. As that’s an old injury, I don’t know what the arrowhead inside looks like. If you want to take it out, I first have to cut the flesh on your leg to the arrowhead. It will be very painful, very painful, and it will hurt for a long time.”
What Gongsun Zhongjing said was very scary. Only Xiao Ran could say “it’s fine” calmly.
Gu Chang’an frowned, but he could not say anything to persuade his wife to reject it.
Xiaoxiao did not even blink, afraid that she would miss a word. “What if it’s with my tendons?”
Gongsun Zhongjing said, “I’ll cut it off and reconnect it, but the pain is not something that ordinary people can endure. Are you sure you want to do this?” Gu Chang’an asked, “I’ve only seen it in ancient books. It’s said to be a very difficult skill. It’s not that I don’t believe Doctor Gongsun, but please tell me the truth. What are the chances of success?”
Gongsun Zhongjing did not feel offended. “I have more than 70% confidence in succeeding if it’s just breaking the tendons and reconnecting them. However, firstly, I still don’t know the situation of the tendons and the iron weapon being entangled. Secondly, if General Xiao can’t help but feel pain when reconnecting the tendons… I’m afraid all my previous efforts will be in vain.” He sighed. “If only the legendary formula for Anesthesia Powder hadn’t been lost.”
Xiaoxiao perked up and suddenly got up to run away, scaring the others. She quickly ran back with a book in her arms that the system had made it look old.
Placing the book in front of Gongsun Zhongjing, Xiaoxiao said, “I saw this at a small stall when I was shopping. I thought that I had to get to know the herbs and poisonous herbs when cooking to prevent any accidents, so I bought it. Later on, there was a table in the house that was unstable, so I used it as a
cushion.”
Gongsun Zhongjing read it out as he looked at the cover. “Hua Tuo’s Medical Prescription?”
Hua Tuo did not exist in this era, so these words did not cause much of a reaction from Gongsun Zhongjing. However, he became even more excited when he started reading. When he saw the words “Anesthesia Powder”, he suddenly stood up. “T-t-this is…”
This was the first time Xiaoxiao had seen Gongsun Zhongjing lose his composure like this. In the past, even when he was pestered by the unreasonable Old Madam of the Li Residence, he still looked unhurried. Now, he even spilled his tea.
“This is Anesthesia Powder. Y-y-you want to show it to me?
Xiaoxiao nodded. “Yes, but I’ve never tried it before. I don’t know if it’s useful.” Gongsun Zhongjing almost couldn’t speak anymore. “I-I-I think a few of them are the same as what I know. The quantity is right. This should be true. You, you’re really showing it to me?”
“This is the Anesthesia Powder! It’s the lost Anesthesia Powder! Even in our Genius Doctor Valley, this is a treasure that can’t be bought with money! Other than the Anesthesia Powder, the other recipes recorded in this book are also very mysteriously interesting. You’re just showing them to me casually?” He suddenly closed the book and pushed it to Xiaoxiao. “No, I can’t. This belongs to you. Take it back quickly!” Ning Xiaoxiao didn’t know how precious this book was, but he couldn’t take advantage of her openly. Otherwise, what was the difference between him and those shameless people?
Xiaoxiao said, “I’m not a doctor. This thing is either a reference when cooking or a cushion for the table. Are you sure you want to waste it on me?” Gongsun Zhongjing looked hesitant and struggling. Xiaoxiao handed the book to him again. “Doctor Gongsun, this book can only be of greater use in your hands. I can at most use it to save a rickety table, but you can use it to save the world.”
Gongsun Zhongjing’s heart began to surge because of these words. His original intention in studying medicine was to rely on his own hands to fight against the heavens. If he could save the dying and heal the injured as much as possible, so what if he thickened his skin and accepted the favor?
At the thought of this, Gongsun Zhongjing no longer hesitated. He thanked Xiaoxiao respectfully. “Regardless of the authenticity of this medical book, Gongsun Zhongjing is grateful and admires you from the bottom of my heart. From now on, if there’s anything I can help with, please feel free to ask!” To be honest, Xiaoxiao wanted to look at Xiao Ran’s personal guards at that time, but when she thought about how they were old injuries that could not be recovered, she could only hold it in.
With this “Hua Tuo’s Medical Prescription”, Gongsun Zhongjing had to make another adjustment to Xiao Ran’s treatment plan other than verifying the authenticity of the Anesthesia Powder formula. When he left, he swayed as if he was dreaming. Xiaoxiao snickered behind him as she looked at his back. After laughing, she turned around and met her parents’ proud gazes.
This made her feel quite embarrassed, so she blushed and slipped into the kitchen.
The next morning, Xiaoxiao had just woken up in a daze when she heard a “ding” from the space.
[“Anesthesia Powder” has officially appeared. Congratulations to the host for completing the hidden mission “Benefitting The Common People” again. You have received 100,000 points. Current total points are 183,850. Do you want to level up?]
During this period of time, although Xiaoxiao was far away in Beijing, there was no problem in increasing her points. Hence, apart from acknowledging her family, she also upgraded her space three times. She was already level 14 now.
She nodded. [Let’s upgrade.]
The space agreed happily.
[Upgrade successful. Current space level: Level 15.]
[The time flow in the farmland has increased. The current time flow is 15 times faster!]
[The time flow in the ranch has increased. The current speed is 15 times!] [The time flow in the water body has increased. The current speed is 15 times!] [Time Hut’s current adjustable speed is plus or minus 15 times!]
[Range Control ability upgraded!]
[The Space Exchange Mall category is updated.]
[New function obtained: Spatial projection. The projection range is 15×15.] [Current total points are 83,850.]
It was only a few days away from Level 16. Xiaoxiao was very satisfied, and the space was also very happy. The master and servant happily went to exchange for Wind and Lightning.
Because she did not know how long she would be back, and she could not bear to miss the opportunity to nurture her relationship with the foals, Xiaoxiao brought Wind and Lightning back with their mother.
With the nourishment of space, Wind and Lightning did not have the meekness or weakness of a foal at all. They had unlimited energy along the way. Of course, this was also because Xiaoxiao would secretly exchange the two brothers when she found an opportunity.
These two horses looked almost identical. She had changed them so many times that no one noticed any flaws..
