Cultivating through increasing my stats in America Chapter 119 - 118: Enhanced Version of the Medicine

Qiu Ruyue suddenly stopped, and Li Ang didn’t ask; understanding a woman’s heart is like finding a needle in the ocean, guessing is purely a waste of ti.

At the sa ti, she discovered another issue, which was that the few flaws Li Ang had just shown matched the techniques she had modified due to Li Ang’s unique constitution.

Therefore, overall, Li Ang had almost replicated her thods one-to-one.

From this point of view, she had co to believe that Li Ang had learned all of her movents from these two massages.

Although it was hard to believe, she herself, being a genius in a certain field, actually believed in the existence of more geniuses.

In contrast, those of average talent, who have never experienced what it’s like to have talent, tend to deny things that are beyond their understanding due to various ntalities.

Thinking this, Qiu Ruyue had an epiphany; the more talented Li Ang was, the better it would be, as it ant she might have soone with whom she could share common topics and discuss related knowledge in the future.

So she not only wanted to teach him, but also wanted to teach him relentlessly, and ideally have him surpass her own level.

Soon, in less than five minutes, after Li Ang had mastered the few actions he had not yet grasped, a new skill appeared in his skill column.

[Qiushi-style Tuina] 63/100 (Beginner)

The reason Li Ang could master this skill so easily, rely by experiencing Qiu Ruyue’s massage techniques, was mainly due to his Master Level [Sports Massage].

This made him extrely sensitive to any massage techniques and enabled him to deduce the deeper effects of any given technique through the different thods applied to different parts.

At the sa ti, Li Ang’s strong [Spirit] was an indispensable aid; with his understanding and powerful mory, he was able to accurately rember every movent.

However, there were still many differences between [Sports Massage] and [Qiushi-style Tuina], so so actions that weren’t demonstrated were beyond the realm of Li Ang’s current abilities to deduce, and he had to wait for Qiu Ruyue to teach him.

"I have fully mastered it."

Hearing Li Ang say this, Qiu Ruyue surprisingly didn’t show the slightest doubt, but simply nodded and replied:

"Good that you’ve mastered it, I have sothing else to give you."

With that, she ran into an inner room, after which a sound of rummaging could be heard, followed by the sound of her cloth shoes moving quickly as she walked out.

"Here you go, for you."

Qiu Ruyue handed Li Ang an old notebook, about a dozen years old, with both hands.

"This notebook contains the original teachings of the tuina technique. My own skills are not yet perfect; you might get better results studying directly from this."

Li Ang took it seriously and joked:

"You’re putting too much trust in , what if I spread it around?"

Qiu Ruyue laughed off his concern, "If you spread it, my grandfather would probably comnd . These days, finding soone who earnestly wants to learn a craft isn’t easy."

Li Ang was of course just teasing her; nowadays, even if you paid soone to learn, it’s unlikely they would be interested.

Or, if you are a famous massage master, others might be willing to pay to beco your apprentice to learn a craft for a living.

If there’s no profit involved, even a dog would disdain it.

"But don’t lose it, I only have this one copy; it’s handwritten by my father. Rember to bring it back to next ti you co over."

Li Ang nodded and imdiately began reading the contents.

However, he flipped through the pages quite rapidly, rely glancing at them briefly, more like skimming the general content.

Qiu Ruyue continued,

"Then wait here for a while; I’m going to prepare a new prescription for you. With your constitution, my prescription can still be improved."

Five minutes later, Li Ang reappeared in front of the dicine cabinet.

At that mont, Qiu Ruyue was still standing on tiptoes, reaching for the topmost dicine.

"Alright, here you go. I’ve written it down."

Li Ang still didn’t plan to keep such a precious thing on him. In case he lost it accidentally, it would be difficult to explain to others.

The content, which seed abundant only because of the handwritten notes and so accompanying drawings, was actually just a few thousand characters. He had already completely morized it during this ti.

"Okay, then just leave it on the counter."

Without turning around, Qiu Ruyue replied softly.

It seed that after accepting that Li Ang was also a genius, she no longer questioned whatever odd things he did.

"Oh, do you have any deer antler?"

Having nothing else to do, Li Ang watched Qiu Ruyue prepare his prescription among the various dicinal ingredients.

"Deer antler strengthens primordial Yang Qi, replenishes qi and blood, benefits essence and marrow, and fortifies sinews and bones—it’s quite suitable for your current condition."

Turning around, Qiu Ruyue held a few slices of deer antler and introduced them to Li Ang:

"You see, the quality of these deer antler slices lies in their increasing density. The middle parts, full of bone, have calcified; these parts have the least dicinal effect. The closer you get to the base, the more wax rings it has, indicating better quality. The section closest to the head, which is completely waxy, is what I’ve selected for you."

Li Ang nodded slightly, thinking to himself that it indeed took an expert to recognize the value of such things; otherwise, the sa dicinal ingredients could produce vastly different results when decocted.

"What I just described to you are all genuine antlers, differing only in quality. For example, so of the antlers you see without fur or with very hard hair, or that have been trimd, are mostly fake and from different deer species, not the genuine sika deer. This is the kind that most people will encounter more. "

"Real deer antler has a layer of fur on the outside that is as soft and natural as human eyelashes..."

While Qiu Ruyue picked the dicines, Li Ang was also there, earnestly learning so of the knowledge contained within.

He suddenly understood why even the most mundane learning held such great appeal.

As Qiu Ruyue finished her explanation one by one, his dicine was also prepared.

"This ti, the dicine will be very potent, but I estimate that with your constitution, there shouldn’t be much of a problem. You’re now as strong as an ox—no, stronger than an ox."

Li Ang was about to express his thanks when Qiu Ruyue interrupted him, "No thanks needed. You aren’t getting this for free. Besides, this seven-day dosage is more expensive than the previous twenty-day dosage."

After paying over three thousand, Li Ang suddenly felt like his assets weren’t that abundant.

"By the way, could you do a favor next ti you co over?"

Qiu Ruyue sat in front of the counter, propping her cheek with one hand, her eyes filled with a hopeful expression.

"What is it?"

"I want to test the changes after your Primordial Yang Qi leaks out."

Li Ang: ?
