Chapter 46 My Disciple Has Exceptional Talent?
"How come, you want to sell this ginseng?" elder doctor asked.
"Not necessarily selling it, just want to know its value, to have an idea in mind," Lu Qing honestly replied.
The elder doctor pondered for a moment, then said, "Generally speaking, ginseng of this age is extremely sought after, practically priceless."
"Ginseng can enhance Qi-blood, strengthen the fundamental life force, and in critical moments, it can even be used to sustain life."
"Those nobles in the city, the Martial Artists, always crave such precious medicine."
"This old ginseng of yours, although its roots are slightly damaged, it's not serious and does not affect its medicinal effectiveness."
"Even, I just tried it, possibly due to its unique growing environment, the medicinal effect of this ginseng, is even stronger than that of ordinary Century-old Ginseng."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Hearing this, Lu Qing recalled the hint of Superpower Light on this ginseng.
What his master said was special, might be because of this.
"Ordinary Century-old Old Ginseng, placed in those big cities, each piece could sell for at least a thousand pieces of silver."
"Yours, I'm afraid, might be worth even more, but exactly how much silver it is worth, I can't say for certain."
A thousand pieces of silver! Ten times that of Red Moon Carp!
Hearing this number, despite being somewhat prepared, Lu Qing couldn't help but feel his heart pound fiercely.
"Are you tempted now?"
The elder doctor, seeing his disciple's shocked expression, smiled and said.
"A bit," Lu Qing nodded.
Who could hear a thousand pieces of silver and remain indifferent?
Especially for a country boy like him.
"However, even though this ginseng is valuable, I still suggest you not to exchange it for silver," elder doctor's tone suddenly shifted.
"Master, why is that?" Lu Qing startled, asked.
"Aren't you wanting to engage in Martial Arts Training? This ginseng is precisely one of the best supplementary medicinal herbs for Qi Blood Realm Martial Artists."
"I mentioned before, wanting to prepare for you a few doses of Qi Blood Nourishing Soup, but this Century-old Ginseng, if used properly, its effects are even better than those of the Qi Blood Nourishing Soup."
"With its aid, stepping into the Qi Blood Realm would be much easier for you."
"I will refine it into Qi and Blood Building Pill for you, after you have entered the basics of Nourishing Body Boxing, taking one pill each day, it won't be long before you can officially step into the Qi Blood Realm."
Could there really be such good fortune?
This truly was an unexpected delight.
Lu Qing was ecstatic.
He had been worried about how to quickly step into the Qi Blood Realm, and the solution came so swiftly.
"How about it, do you still want to sell this ginseng, or keep it and consume it yourself?" elder doctor asked.
Lu Qing did not hesitate: "Please help me refine it into an elixir, Master!"
"Oh, have you thought it through?" elder doctor looked at him and said.
"Yes, silver is good, but after all, it's external; my own skill is more important," Lu Qing said.
"You having this realization is very good," elder doctor stroked his beard and nodded, "In times like these, nothing is more important than your own capabilities, without skills, even if you possess much silver, it would be hard to keep it."
"Since you have made your decision, I happen to be free these few days, I shall refine this ginseng into Qi and Blood Building Pills for you."
"Thank you, Master!" Lu Qing said happily.
"Don't be too happy yet," elder doctor cautioned him, "Even after I have refined the pill, before you have mastered Nourishing Body Boxing, you can't take it."
"Otherwise, even if you consume the pill, it would just be a waste of its power."
Martial Arts basics?
Lu Qing's heart stirred, and he suddenly said, "Master, after I returned yesterday, I pondered alone on the boxing techniques you taught me, and I seemed to have grasped a trace of the knack. I'm not sure if I misunderstood, so please guide me."
"Oh, you've come to understand it so quickly?"
The elder doctor was intrigued but didn't take Lu Qing's words seriously.
He assumed that Lu Qing had just practiced the moves thoroughly and wanted to show off.
"Then demonstrate it once, and let me see what you've realized."
"Yes, Master."
Lu Qing immediately assumed the stance and began to demonstrate the Nourishing Body Boxing from the first to the ninth move.
When Lu Qing began the first move, the elder doctor watched with a smile.
But as he finished the first move and moved on to the second, the elder doctor's smile faded, revealing a surprised expression.
He found that Lu Qing's first move was not only executed with precise and fluid motions but also carried a unique rhythm.
As the creator of Nourishing Body Boxing, the elder doctor knew what this rhythm meant.
It indicated that Lu Qing had not only mastered this move proficiently but had also infused his understanding into it.
In other words, he had truly grasped the first move and had begun to embody the skills.
But, how was this possible?
It had only been one night since he taught Lu Qing the boxing techniques!
How could he have reached such a level with Nourishing Body Boxing?
The elder doctor was shocked.
However, what shocked him even more was yet to come.
Lu Qing continued to perform Nourishing Body Boxing, move after move fluently and adeptly.
After completing the ninth move, he started again from the first move, continuously practicing.
Time and again, Lu Qing practiced the moves from one to nine of the Nourishing Body Boxing, losing himself in the motions.
After practicing nine times, he finally slowed down, breathed out a breath of stagnant air, his complexion rosy and his eyes sparkling as he stood there.
As for the elder doctor, he was already standing there with a shocked face, staring agape.
"Master, how was it? Did I practice anything incorrectly?" Lu Qing asked energetically.
"Nine cycles returning to the origin, vital Qi-Blood, vibrant spirit, this is full mastery of Nourishing Body Boxing."
The elder doctor seemed not to hear Lu Qing's question, simply muttering to himself.
"Master, what's wrong?"
Seeing the elder doctor like this, Lu Qing couldn't help but ask.
At the same time, he was also a bit worried—had he inadvertently frightened his master with his display?
"Ah Qing, tell me honestly!" the elder doctor's face suddenly became very serious, startling Lu Qing, "What did you encounter when you practiced boxing yesterday?"
"What did I encounter?" Lu Qing thought for a moment and replied, "Yesterday, when I went back and practiced boxing in the courtyard, I suddenly felt many insights flooding my mind. Unintentionally, my body followed the key points the master taught and I practiced."
"After I came to my senses, I felt refreshed and spirited. The methods of the first to the ninth moves of Nourishing Body Boxing suddenly became clear to me, no longer obscure as before."
What Lu Qing described was actually the state after using his Superpower for cultivation, except he hid the existence of the Superpower.
However, these words, to the elder doctor's ears, were like a thunderbolt.
"Sudden Enlightenment... It's actually Sudden Enlightenment," the elder doctor murmured.
His gaze towards Lu Qing was like looking at an incredibly rare treasure.
"The disciple I impulsively decided to take, to think he could enter Sudden Enlightenment on his first martial arts training?"
