3092 Ointments
“Wow, I made a fortune! Just where did all these crystals and other valuables come from?”
She walked over to take a closer look, and her smile broadened. She flicked her sleeve and put all of the treasures into her space. She searched the interior thoroughly before leaving to ensure that she hadn’t missed anything else that could be useful.
As she walked outside and gathered spirit herbs, she couldn’t help but hum a cheery tune to herself. She was thinking about bringing some of the herbs back to help heal the disciple’s broken arm.
Perhaps because the fifth-rank sacred beast Iron-Skin Red Dragon was no longer alive, some small beasts appeared. She caught two snakes, stuck them to tree branches, and carried them back so she could make snake soup.
Over there, Mu Ling and others were roasting game animals. As the sky darkens and Mu Jiu has not yet returned, Mu Ling started to worry. “Did he go far away? Could he possibly get lost?”
“I don’t believe so. Mu Jiu doesn’t look like someone who will get lost.” Lin Chengjin responded with a grin. While roasting the meat, he remarked, “He promised to return before dark. Perhaps he’s on his way back.”
As he spoke, Guo Ziqi laughed and said, “Look, he’s back!”
When the crowd looked over, everyone was stunned to see a branch on Feng Jiu’s shoulder with two snakes slithering behind it. “Has he gone to catch snakes?”
“What are you catching those snakes for, Mu Jiu?” Guo Ziqi asked him with a loud voice.
“I thought the forest would be colder at night, so I caught two snakes to make a pot of snake soup to warm everyone’s bodies.” While speaking, she had already approached the group and set the two snakes aside.
“Making soup? Alright, leave it to me!” Lin Chengjin stood up, grabbed the two snakes, and hung them from a tree, only to turn back when he was about to peel the skin. “Oh, no! We forgot to bring a pot.”
Feng Jiu smiled and said, “I’ve got one.” She took a pot out from her space.
Lin Chengjin, seeing this, looked at her intently. “I didn’t expect you to go out with a pot, Mu Jiu. You seem to travel a lot.”
“I dislike taking fasting pills. Because I enjoy grains and meat, I always carry everything with me when I go out.” She smiled. “It smells good,” she said as she took a big whiff of the barbecue.
“I’m glad you like it. I roasted it.” Lin Chengjin smiled, started to skin and process the snakes, and yelled, “Ziqi, build a small fire. Later we can use it to cook the soup.”
“Alright.” Guo Ziqi answered and started helping.
“I picked some spirit herbs to heal broken bones. After I grind and process it, I’ll help you put it on.” Feng Jiu said this to the disciple seated next to her who was holding his injured arm.
The disciple was taken aback and surprised. He looked at Feng Jiu and gratefully said, “Thank you.”
Feng Jiu smiled and went to one side to crush, mash, grind, and mix the herbs before boiling them into a paste to treat the wound.
After fixing his broken arm with a branch, Feng Jiu tied a piece of cloth around the disciple’s neck and broken arm so that he wouldn’t have to hold it. Then she said, “It’s done. You must change the medication once daily so that you’ll recover faster. Keep these ointments – those are highly effective to treat broken bones.” She placed the remaining ointments in a container and handed it to him.,
“Yes, I know. ” After taking the items, he looked at the others and asked hesitantly, “May I, may I go with you? I’m afraid I won’t get very far if I go alone.”
