After pondering for a while, Lu Qing began to treat Mrs. Wei.
Seeing the pained expression on Mrs. Wei's face, she first used silver needles to give her a few acupuncture points.
After a few needles, Mrs. Wei's brows, which had been furrowed in pain, relaxed somewhat, and her face was not as pale.
Lu Qing nodded in some satisfaction at this.
Through her recent studies in medical skills, coupled with advancements in her martial arts realm, she had gained a deeper understanding of the human body.
She had already gained some insights in the practice of acupuncture.
The immediate relief that these few needles brought Mrs. Wei was the best proof of their effectiveness.
However, this was only a temporary solution and not a cure for the root cause.
Mrs. Wei's condition was not something that could be resolved with just a few needles.
Even ordinary medicine stones were unlikely to have much effect on her illness.
Furthermore, given their current situation, it was not suitable to start a fire and brew medicine.
So after relieving Mrs. Wei's pain with the needles, Lu Qing took a jade bottle out of the small medicine box from her backpack and fell into deep thought.
"What is this, Doctor Lu Qing?" Young Master Wei asked in surprise upon seeing the jade bottle.
As a young master from a distinguished family, his conduct might seem naive on some matters.
But when it came to recognizing certain objects, his knowledge was certainly not lacking.
The jade bottle in Lu Qing's hand was pure and white without a trace of impurity, resembling mutton fat.
He could tell at a glance that it was extremely valuable, priceless.
If the jade bottle itself was so precious, what then was the value of the contents inside?
"Inside this is an extremely precious spiritual medicine prepared by my master," Lu Qing said. "I am considering how to administer it to Mrs. Wei."
"An extremely precious spiritual medicine?" Young Master Wei immediately asked, "Could it save my mother?"
"It should be able to. Even if it can't heal Mrs. Wei immediately, it should at least be able to save her life for the time being."
Upon hearing this, Young Master Wei quickly pleaded, "Doctor Lu Qing, please save my mother. No matter how precious the spiritual medicine is, our Wei family will definitely offer double, no, ten times its value as compensation!" Read latest stories on empire
"Young Master jests. Since I intend to save your mother, naturally I would not be stingy with medicine. What I am considering is something else," Lu Qing said seriously.
"Is there anything else troubling Doctor Lu Qing?"
"Never mind, it's nothing." Lu Qing shook her head, "I will administer the medicine to Mrs. Wei now."
Lu Qing had Young Master Wei support his mother's head, then she carefully opened the jade bottle and dripped two drops of jade-colored medicine liquid into her mouth.
Perhaps out of thirst or a primal instinct to survive, Mrs. Wei swallowed the medicine without the need for Lu Qing to stimulate her jaw's acupuncture point.
"Is that all? Doctor Lu Qing, shouldn't we give my mother a few more drops?" Young Master Wei said anxiously after seeing that Lu Qing had only dropped two drops and then stopped.
"Too much of a good thing can be bad. Although the medicine is precious, it is also very potent. Given Mrs. Wei's current physical condition, it is not advisable to take too much at once; otherwise, it could be harmful rather than helpful," Lu Qing explained.
Her explanation was half-true, half-false.
The medicine did indeed have strong effects, but the reason she did not give more to Mrs. Wei was not due to the principle of "the strong being overwhelmed by too much nourishment."
She was concerned that if Mrs. Wei recovered too quickly, it might lead to unwanted suspicions.
The contents of the jade bottle were a medicinal liquid she had recently prepared according to some records on Earth Vein Spirit Liquid from the heritage of the Divine Talisman Sect, and after discussion and research with her master.
One drop of Earth Vein Spirit Liquid, combined with an entire century-old ginseng and other rare medicinal materials, made just three jade bottles of medicine liquid.
Therefore, when Lu Qing said that the medicine was extremely precious, there was not a trace of falsehood in it.
Indeed, a single drop had the value of a thousand gold.
As for the effects, her master had also tested it.
While the medicine did not have the heaven-defying effects of directly ingesting Earth Vein Spirit Liquid—such as bringing back the dead, regenerating flesh from bones, and significantly enhancing talent—it also had the effects of strengthening the body and an extremely powerful healing effect.
For ordinary people, as long as they were not completely dead and retained a trace of breath, they could be kept alive and slowly recover with this medicine liquid.
The information obtained through Superpower's investigation also gave this medicine a high rating, reaching the Red Light Level.
Lu Qing had prepared three bottles of the medicine, keeping two with her master and carrying one with her for emergencies.
Such spiritual medicine was too precious and considered a real life-saving remedy, one that she was reluctant to use casually.
Previously, although Ma Gu's shoulder injury was serious, it did not endanger his life, so she had not considered using it.
If it were not for Mrs. Wei's situation being so dire, at the brink of life and death, she would not have taken out the medicine liquid.
Even now, she only planned to use two drops, leaving the rest for Mrs. Wei to recover on her own.
Hearing Lu Qing's explanation, Young Master Wei did not question further.
He understood the principle that "the frail cannot endure heavy treatments;" his mother's body was indeed weak and could not withstand strong medicine.
Once he understood this, Young Master Wei immediately said to Lu Qing, "I apologize, Doctor Lu Qing, I was too anxious."
"It's alright, Young Master is simply concerned about Mrs. Wei's health," Lu Qing said with a smile.
In fact, she was somewhat surprised.
In this encounter, Young Master Wei seemed to have changed a lot, his temper nowhere near as arrogant as before.
It seemed that after experiencing so much, he had also grown up, maturing quite a bit in mind.
"So, Doctor Lu Qing, is my mother okay now?"
