Chapter 20: Gathering Wool

 Zhao Sheng sat in a room full of medicinal smell, with his upper body exposed but wrapped in heavy bandages.

There was blood seeping out from the bandage, which looked like the injury was serious.

It had been three days since the military supervisor launched a surprise attack on the second prince. In order not to arouse suspicion, he deliberately did not use the immortal aura to repair his injuries.

On that day, the second prince's subordinates called in the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat Zhao Sheng. After the imperial doctor looked at him, he said: "The injury is quite serious, but it only hurts the muscles and bones, not the internal organs. It's a great blessing out of misfortune."

He prescribed some medicines for external application and internal use to Zhao Sheng, and said he would come back for diagnosis in three days.

For this reason, Zhao Sheng endured the pain for three days and finally waited until the imperial doctor came again.

This time it was brought by the second prince's bodyguard, the same imperial doctor from last time.

The imperial doctor took off his bandage, examined him, and then checked his pulse.

After a while, the imperial doctor took his hand away and praised: "As expected of a martial artist, the body heals very quickly."

He took out a pen and paper from the box, wrote the prescription, and handed it to the guard.

"His injuries are basically stable, but he is suffering from loss of energy and blood. If you want to heal him properly, just take the prescription above and give this little brother some medicine."

The guard took it, read it once, and then said respectfully: "We are just rough people and don't understand this. Your Highness has told me that sir, just use good medicine and give it enough."

The imperial doctor nodded, turned to Zhao Sheng and said: "I will pick up the prescription for you and have someone bring it to you.

Take it three times a day, three decoctions once, put in a bowl of water... That’s all, I’ll write it down for you, you drink it for a month first, and then I’ll come back and show it to you.”

He took out another piece of paper, wrote down the precautions for decoction, and handed it to Zhao Sheng.

Zhao Sheng took it and nodded: "Thank you sir."

"You are well-educated, don't work too much"

The imperial doctor packed up the medical box and walked back to the Imperial Hospital.

"His Royal Highness is very worried about your injury. You don't have to worry about anything. But if you need any medicine, just ask."

The guard said to Zhao Sheng.

Is this the benefit of hugging thighs? It smells so good... Zhao Sheng nodded with a pale face and said: "Thank you for your great kindness, Your Highness, I will never forget it..."

They are all clichés, but big people just like to hear them.

The guard took out a yellowing secret book from his arms. Zhao Sheng glanced at it and was shocked.

"Since your life is not in danger, this secret book can be handed over to you."

The guard handed the secret book to Zhao Sheng.

Zhao Sheng took it and glanced at the secret book page, which had three big characters written on it.

Dragon Ringing Finger!

Just by looking at the name, you can tell it’s a very powerful secret skill!

"Wait until your injury is completely healed before practicing again. You have practiced the Star Absorbing Technique. This secret technique can be used to disperse the true energy and help you live for a few more years."

The guard whispered: "Remember, His Highness will never treat those who are loyal to him badly."

Are you recruiting people for your Highness?

No wonder there are rumors that the second prince wants to usurp the throne and kill the king. It seems that there is no reason.

Your Highness is not a peaceful master.

What a pity. I just want to live peacefully and have no illusions about glory and wealth... Zhao Sheng pretended to be grateful and said: "The villain knows."

The guard nodded and walked out quickly.

An hour later, a doctor wearing light gray robes came in carrying a large bag of medicine.

The status of Taiyuan Hospital is not high. The highest envoy is only at the fifth rank, and the imperial doctor who just treated him is at the eighth rank.

As for this little doctor, he is still not in the mainstream. When he sees Zhao Sheng, he has to call him "Sir."

He put the medicine on the table, crossed his hands in front of him, and explained the decoction to Zhao Sheng again.

Zhao Sheng looked gentle, took out a small ingot of silver from the bed and gave it to the little healer.

Of course he didn't dare to accept it, but Zhao Sheng was really enthusiastic and said that the weather has been cold recently, so he would bother me to run over and get some hot soup.

The second prince called the imperial doctor, so naturally he doesn't need to take care of it.

This is not the case for the little doctor. Zhao Sheng still needs to show some consideration.

Anyway, we don’t have much money, so just treat it as a favor.

In the palace, you still need to be kind to others.

The little doctor was very grateful. After thanking him repeatedly, he walked out of the room.

After a while, no one came again, and Zhao Sheng connected his consciousness with the immortal light.

The next moment, a flash of spiritual light repaired all the injuries in his body, leaving only the outer wounds unhealed.

The pain that had plagued him for several days finally disappeared, causing him to groan.

In fact, his pain tolerance has been greatly improved compared to a year ago.

After all, he had already exploded countless times before successfully forging the foundation.

If he had suffered such a serious injury before, he would not have survived three days.

Now, he only feels uncomfortable and can bear it.

But pain does exist after all. He is not a masochist and has no such hobby.

The imperial doctor said that he would come back for diagnosis in a month, which meant that no one would come to check on his injuries during this time.

Naturally, he had to repair the injury quickly.

With no illness and a light body, Zhao Sheng got up from the bed where he had been lying for several days, stretched his muscles and bones, and his whole body made crackling sounds.

Since practicing martial arts, he has not been used to being so lazy.

I remember that in his previous life, he was still an otaku who shouted for fitness all day long but got no response...

It is true that circumstances create heroes... After Zhao Sheng sighed with emotion, he happily picked up the secret book of Longming Zhi and looked through it.

Unlike last year, he can now understand a secret book on his own.

After reading it carefully, Zhao Sheng realized why the second prince and the guards said it could slightly reduce the hidden dangers of the Star Absorbing Technique.

If you practice the Star Absorbing Technique to a deep level, you will suffer from the rush of true energy.

If you try to absorb other people's Qi at the cost of losing Qi and blood, this symptom will be aggravated, causing the whole body's Qi to be turbulent and unable to be relieved.

The Longming Finger is like a water valve, which can release the true energy in the body.

This secret technique requires the whole body's true energy to be condensed on the fingers, and then the true energy is detonated within the fingers to explode with great power.

This method consumes real energy and is very difficult for people to practice.

If the Star Absorbing Technique is an internal training method, then the Dragon Crying Finger is an external training method.

The combination of the two is even more powerful.

Zhao Sheng was worried that although he was now a third-level martial artist, he did not have much combat power. This secret skill could just solve this problem.

It's just that this Longming Finger is also a broken copy. Every time you use it, you will feel severe pain in the finger bones. If you use it a few times, you may even break it.

If you practice to a deep level, all ten fingers will be disabled.

But for him, this is simply not a price.

"But I can't practice cultivation now. I'll have to wait until outsiders see my injury completely healed."

Zhao Sheng strives to be prudent in his work and does not rush into advancement after being greedy for success.

He put the secret book away and turned to look at the medicine bag on the table.

"It's just that these medicines from the hospital are wasted."

Zhao Sheng thought for a while and felt that it was difficult to hide so much, and it was impossible to throw it away. Don't give it up for nothing, you won't die if you drink it anyway, so why not give it a try.

He cooked it, looked at the thick and dark medicinal soup, and mustered up the courage to drink it in one breath.

So bitter!

Zhao Sheng picked up the kettle next to him and drank vigorously. He suddenly felt that the true energy in his body seemed to be increasing, and the energy and blood seemed to be rushing to the bone seams and acupuncture points that had never been reached before.

"This is..."

He suddenly thought of a possibility, opened the window and called Xiao Guizi, opened the medicine package and showed it to him.

"Ginseng, saffron, tiger bone... are all medicinal materials that nourish blood and qi."

Xiao Guizi rewrapped the medicine and said: "Martial doctors are not divided into different families. These medicines are used to replenish your lost Qi and blood. If you drink them after you recover, they will naturally make a medicinal soup to nourish you.

But don’t think about it now, just take good care of yourself.”

Zhao Sheng nodded in agreement, but he had a different calculation in his heart.

Didn’t the second prince say that the hospital should just use the medicine?

If that's the case, can't I just pluck wool as much as I want?
