Chapter 5: Medicine

He is preparing to begin practicing the "Three Treasures Forging". Now that he has access to the medicinal refining aspect, he naturally intends to make good use of it. If he returns to reality, he will have to find herbs with the same medicinal properties to refine the "Three Treasures Forging", which would be troublesome, as such herbs are not available in reality

Medicine: possesses a strong ability and insight for learning medical techniques and pharmaceuticals. (Belongs to one of the Seventy-Two Arts of Earthly Demons)

The main purpose is to cultivate the three treasures of essence, qi, and spirit

However, he did not rush; he now had another hypothesis. Since the skills in medicine could provide the ability to learn medical techniques and pharmaceuticals, it would be better to try it out here.

Subsequently, Wu Mingkong took out a book titled "The Theory of a Thousand Grasses" and began to read.

Fortunately, he did not exit immediately; he glanced at the bookshelf and then looked at his own panel

When he raised his head again, he found that there was only one book left on the bookshelf. The small dog did not run around like a husky; it simply sat quietly in the corner, watching Wu Mingkong read the medical books one by one.

"The Seven Absolute Formulas for Warm Diseases"? I have never heard of it. Wu Mingkong directly opened this "Seven Absolute Formulas for Warm Diseases". Although he did not recognize the characters, he could completely understand it, and the books that had originally seemed dull and uninteresting to him now appeared like lively sprites, looking extraordinarily beautiful.

He pulled a medical book from the bookshelf, glanced at the cover, and saw unfamiliar characters, yet he was able to fully comprehend the meaning of those words

Finally finished... As soon as these words were spoken, the entire person was stunned

Contract Summoning - The Fine Hound and "Three Treasures Forging" can utilize the 1 skill point obtained from the treasure chest for upgrades, while medicine cannot

"That would be wonderful, dog. Come, let us go outside to gather herbs." Wu Mingkong called to the small dog and walked out of the thatched cottage

The most precious aspect of a dungeon is not the items that drop, but rather the dungeon itself

Upon seeing the "Three Treasures Treatise," Wu Mingkong chuckled. In fact, he had already realized what was missing from the "Three Treasures Refinement" after reading those medical texts: the section on medicinal refinement.

While he was brewing medicine, he began to practice the breathing techniques that accompany the "Three Treasures Forge." Wu Mingkong had to admit that although the dropped "Three Treasures Forge" lacked the medicinal refining section, the breathing method and the three movements were impeccable from Wu Mingkong's current perspective. Perhaps the dungeon system had been optimized.

Wu Mingkong discovered another mechanism, and this mechanism made his eyes shine with excitement

And this part of the medicine is precisely found within the "Treatise on the Three Treasures"

Wu Mingkong looked at the description of the medical skill in his skill bar, feeling that starting with a skill like the Seventy-Two Earthly Techniques was somewhat unrealistic, even though it was merely a completely supportive skill

It cannot be considered entirely auxiliary in nature, as many aspects require medical knowledge, such as this "Three Treasures Exercise." Wu Mingkong can now be completely certain that this "Three Treasures Exercise" is definitely missing something, though it may not be significant.

When Wu Mingkong picked up the last medical book, the title was quite interesting, called "The Three Treasures Theory"

Wu Mingkong placed a medicinal herb into the cauldron, simmering it over a low flame. He then added half a spoonful of water and said in a long, lingering breath.

He discovered something unusual: "I have read so many books, why do I not feel hungry, nor do I feel sleepy"

Wu Mingkong is very confident that as long as he finishes reading this bookshelf of books, he will be able to compile a version of the "Three Treasures of Forging" himself

Wu Mingkong stepped out of the thatched cottage, only to find that the bodies of the herbalist boy and the medicine-pounding boy had already vanished. He immediately turned to look inside the cottage and saw a small dog emerge. Following that, a flash of white light passed through the cottage, and the body of the pharmacist also disappeared. The medical books he had been looking at returned to the bookshelf, and the once chaotic scene was restored to order.

He had only been reading before, without the inclination to deduce, and this medicine was not particularly important; it merely accelerated the cultivation of the "Three Treasures Forging".

This "Treatise on the Three Treasures" has indeed saved me a considerable amount of time; it not only contains experimental records but also various interpretations of the "Three Treasures Forging," and even provided me with inspiration for revisions. Wu Mingkong stretched lazily, gazing at the mountain of medical books.

After reading the book "Seven Absolute Formulas for Warm Diseases," Wu Mingkong closed the book and, with his eyes shut, reflected on it once more. He realized that although he lacked foundational knowledge in medicine, he had completely grasped the content of the book. While he felt capable of innovating within the realm of warm diseases, he found himself utterly lost once he ventured beyond that scope.

Although he did not know how much time had passed, Wu Mingkong could be certain that it had been at least a month. However, the corpse had not decayed, which indicated that this scenario was in a completely stable state.

Moreover, according to the records in medical texts, with just a simple reflection, he is able to understand, and even in these ancient medical books that lack punctuation, he can determine how to segment the sentences by himself

If it can be refreshed, then it would mean that the medicinal herbs in this garden are endless. To test whether this idea is true, he directly gathered a pile of herbs needed for the "Three Treasures Refinement" and entered the thatched cottage with his small dog. Soon after, a flash of white light appeared outside the cottage, and the harvested garden was immediately replenished with herbs, identical to those he had taken.

Time passes little by little, and the medical books on the bookshelf are also decreasing one by one, yet Wu Mingkong is completely unaware of the passage of time

Indeed, it is impossible to finish reading such a mountain of medical books in less than a month. However, he is completely absorbed in them and feels no sense of discomfort, and even now he appears to be in high spirits.

On the small stove in the corner of the thatched cottage, the medicinal furnace that has been burning since he killed the apothecary is still alight, and during this time, no one has added coal to the furnace

He then picked up a book from the table that appeared to be something like the Book of Songs. He could understand the characters, but it was utterly dull and tasteless, akin to eating husks and swallowing vegetables, making it impossible to engage with the text.

It seems that this medical skill is more than a hundred times stronger than "Sanbao Forging". While "Sanbao Forging" has its limits, this medical skill has no limits at all. Therefore, the true reward this time is actually this medical skill, while the Sanbao Forging is merely an additional bonus.

It is no wonder that this "Three Treasures Forge" has no explanations, unlike the contract summons - the detailed hound and medical points which can be opened for clarification; the "Three Treasures Forge" cannot be opened at all

The medicinal herbs required for the "Sanbao Duan" potion are precisely available in this medicinal garden, and they are cultivated on a large scale

Could it be that everything in this copy is constant?" Wu Mingkong looked again at the corpse of the pharmacist on the ground, which still lay there without decaying

After briefly reviewing the "Three Treasures Theory," Wu Mingkong reflected on it in his mind and thoroughly comprehended the "Three Treasures Theory".
