Chapter 1103 Three Lives, an Earth Treasure!

Under the old patriarch’s gaze, Fang Qiu processed these four herbs according to the method in his mind. There were many ways to process herbs, such as heating, stir-frying, calcining, and so on.

As a doctor of Chinese Medicine, Fang Qiu knew very well that each herb needed to be processed before it could be used as medicine, which was also one of the characteristics of Chinese Medicine.

Of course, the processing of traditional Chinese medicine was also based on theories of Chinese Medicine. It was a pharmaceutical skill based on the dialectical need for the medicine, the nature of the medicine, the blending, and different requirements of the preparation.

There were eight meanings behind the processing of traditional Chinese medicine.

First, the processing could reduce the toxicity or eliminate the side effects of the drugs.

Second, it could change or modulate the properties of the drugs.

Third, it could strengthen the connection of the drugs.

Fourth, it could change the position where the drugs took effect and strengthen the tendency of the effect of the drugs.

Fifth, it could help with blending and preparations.

Sixth, it was beneficial for storing and preserving the efficacy of the drugs.

Seventh, it could deodorize the drugs, helping patients take the drugs.

Eighth, it could improve the purity of the drugs and ensure the quality of the drugs.

As a member of a primitive tribe, although the old patriarch had left the tribe when he was young and traveled in cities, he just saw the appearance of the civilized world. He didn’t know the details of various industries.

For example, in terms of the processing of traditional Chinese medicine, he was completely confused. He could only stand aside and watch, not even daring to say a word.

Soon, when Fang Qiu was still processing herbs, suddenly, there came hurried footsteps.

A few primitive tribesmen appeared. They ran in from the outside extremely nervously. After shouting at the old patriarch, they immediately grabbed Fang Qiu and wanted to take him out.

“What’s wrong?” Fang Qiu asked.

The old patriarch immediately shouted at those people and asked them to let go of Fang Qiu.

Then, he said with an anxious look, “Three more tribesmen have fallen ill. They all have suffered from sudden malaria, which has spread in our tribe.”

“Three?” Fang Qiu raised his eyebrows. Then he said, “They should have been infected before and now begin to show symptoms. Nobody knows when they got infected.”

The old patriarch said eagerly, “Before you came, several members of our tribe have already died. Jesus, our tribe is doomed. Oh yes. Yes, you must be an emissary sent by the Heavenly God. I beg of you. Please save my tribesmen.”

At this moment, the old patriarch pinned all his hopes on Fang Qiu.

“I’m not an emissary of the Heavenly God.” Fang Qiu shook his head. Then he said, “Don’t worry. I will definitely save the patients, but I will use these herbs, not the previous method!”

Fang Qiu pointed to the herbs that were being processed.

Then he sped up the processing.

When the processing was over, he immediately turned to the old patriarch and said, “I need a container for decoction.”

Hearing this, the old patriarch immediately said something to those who were standing outside and waiting anxiously.

As soon as he finished speaking, those people immediately ran to fetch the tools and a container that were often used by the old patriarch for decoction.

Fang Qiu didn’t hesitate. After getting those things, he immediately put the processed herbs into the container and began to decoct the herbs.

Since the old patriarch was too anxious, Fang Qiu could only activate his internal Qi to help so that the fire was controlled perfectly.

Soon, the medicinal potion was ready.

Fang Qiu poured it into bowls and waited for it to be less hot.

Although he had never heard of these herbs before, Fang Qiu, who had learned “Canon of Poison” and “Canon of Medicine”, clearly knew that these herbs had no toxicity during the processing. Even if there were a few side effects, they would be completely removed during the processing, so there was no need to test the medicine at all.

The old patriarch also knew that Fang Qiu wanted to test the efficacy of the medicine with his tribesmen. Although he was a little worried, he couldn’t stop him or retort him.

In his opinion, Fang Qiu could use the previous method to cure all the patients who suddenly suffered from malaria.

Why did he insist on testing the efficacy of the medicine at this critical moment?

Of course, Fang Qiu also knew that the old patriarch must be disappointed in him.

However, there was nothing he could do about it.

The efficacy of the medicine needed to be tested by patients who showed symptoms. Anyway, since he was here, the patients would never be at risk, let alone lose their lives.

To reassure the old patriarch, Fang Qiu promised that he would definitely cure the three patients.

However, the old patriarch was still worried.

They waited for a while.

After the medicinal potion in the bowls was not hot, Fang Qiu and the old patriarch carried three bowls of medicinal potion to the three patients who suddenly suffered from malaria.

Under the care of other members of the tribe, the three patients quickly drank up the medicinal potion.

However, after drinking the potion, the three patients were still in great pain, and the symptoms were not alleviated. Instead, they all covered their stomachs with their hands and cried out in pain.

Seeing that, the old patriarch immediately became anxious. “What... what is going on? What’s wrong with them?”

The old patriarch stared at Fang Qiu and asked in a panic, “Are they all right?”

“They’re fine.” Fang Qiu shook his head. He comforted the old patriarch, saying, “The medicine is helping them by killing the viruses.”

When he was speaking, Fang Qiu also paid all his attention to the three patients and observed them, making sure that they were all right.

A few minutes later, the three patients who had been screaming with their hands covering their stomachs suddenly looked at each other and then ran out. They ran to the back of a big rock in the distance.

It could be seen from their expressions that they were having diarrhea.

Other people didn’t catch up with them. They were all waiting here.

After a short while, the three patients returned, no longer covering their stomachs. They stood straight, and they were not in pain anymore.

They returned to the tribe.

The old patriarch immediately went over to them and asked them questions.

After they talked a lot, the old patriarch looked at Fang Qiu and asked, “Can you examine them?”

“Sure.” Fang Qiu nodded immediately and felt their pulses at once.

By feeling their pulses, he found that the three patients were all cured!

“I knew it,” Fang Qiu said at once and sighed. Then he added, “Where there is a disease, there are herbs that can cure it. Without any herbs that carry the Qi of Heaven and Earth, the efficacy can be so good just with the appropriate processing.

“Unfortunately, they are just ordinary herbs. They don’t have the Qi of Heaven and Earth, and these herbs are only effective against malaria.”

Listening to Fang Qiu’s exclamation, everyone in the tribe was bewildered.

Although the old patriarch could understand English, he couldn’t understand the language of Huaxia.

“How are they?” The old patriarch immediately asked, after seeing that Fang Qiu finished his exclamation.

“They are cured.” Fang Qiu nodded with a smile. Then he said, “If you’re worried, you can observe them for another two days.”

“Are they really cured?” The old patriarch asked in surprise. Then, before Fang Qiu could respond, he immediately said, “That’s great. Malaria is really cured. That’s great.”

“Thank you. Thank you,” the old patriarch said to Fang Qiu.

Fang Qiu nodded and accepted it.

Later, in the following two days, Fang Qiu went deep into the grassland and looked around.

As he went deeper, he was shocked by how abundant the herbs in the grassland were.

The place that the old patriarch took him to was just the beginning. There were more herbs in the grassland.

“Treasures are really in uninhabited areas,” Fang Qiu exclaimed and let out a sigh of relief at the same time.

With so many herbs, he didn’t have to worry about the cost anymore.

“They should be enough,” Fang Qiu whispered in a low voice, looking at the dense herbs in front of him. Then he was ready to go back.

Now that the herbs were found, it was time to find a way to apply them to patients.

When he was murmuring to himself, Fang Qiu moved and turned to leave.

However, as soon as he moved, he suddenly stopped.

“Hmm?” Fang Qiu was confused. He turned to look at the depths of the grassland.

Just now, he could clearly feel that there were some unusual movements of the Qi of Heaven and Earth in that direction.

“Divine Consciousness.” Fang Qiu thought, and his Divine Consciousness spread out in an instant.

“I knew it.”

With the detection of his Divine Consciousness, Fang Qiu really felt that the Qi of Heaven and Earth was abnormal in a depth in that direction.

It seemed that there were Heaven and Earth Treasures.

Fang Qiu moved and immediately rushed out. He quickly ran to the place where the Qi of Heaven and Earth was abnormal.

After running for about a kilometer, Fang Qiu stopped and took a close look.

He saw a bunch of fruits on the flat grass at his feet. The fruits were earthy yellow and looked dreamy. These fruits all grew on a vine. Although they did not look as dense as grapes, they were not few.

“Three Lives.” When he saw these fruits and the vine on the ground, Fang Qiu’s eyes suddenly brightened!

He immediately recalled what was written in “Scroll of Heaven and Earth Treasures”.

The Three Lives was one of the Earth Treasures.

It ranked third on the list of Earth Treasures.

The name, Three Lives, was derived from the fact that “three”, in Taoism, could give birth to anything. As its name implied, the Three Lives was the most fertile kind among all the Earth Treasures. It was similar to the wild vine fruits in the mountains and was also like the grapes. As long as it absorbed enough Qi of Heaven and Earth, it could keep producing fruits.

“I didn’t expect to encounter such an Earth Treasure here,” Fang Qiu said in surprise. “It’s a pity that these fruits haven’t ripened yet.”

According to the record of “Scroll of Heaven and Earth Treasures”, after the fruits of the Three Lives ripened, they would be golden, as if they were fruits waiting for the autumn harvest, which were very attractive.

However, the fruits of the Three Lives in front of him were earthy yellow. There was still some time before they ripened.

“Although they are useless to me, these fruits can be given to He Gaoming and other people.” Fang Qiu nodded.

He didn’t know why he hadn’t met any Earth Treasure since he got his first Heaven Treasure. Now he finally met one, which ranked so high. He would never leave it here.

“How could an Earth Treasure grow here?” Fang Qiu murmured to himself. He turned his head and looked around curiously, observing the terrain there.

“Eh?” After observing for a while, Fang Qiu found that the terrain there was almost the same as that of the Desert Cistanche cultivation area in the Beijiang cultivation base.

“The terrain here is the same as that of the Desert Cistanche cultivation area. In addition, the Three Lives is fertile. Maybe this Three Lives can be transplanted, and it can keep producing fruits like grapes?” Thinking of this, Fang Qiu immediately took out his mobile phone and sent a video call to Zhao Shanlin.
