I Open Treasure Chests in the Apocalypse

When Earth becomes a battlefield and killing becomes the norm, everyone eagerly awaits their desired items from treasure chests dropped by monsters. But he, having opened so many treasure chests, h...

Chapter 145 Prevention is worse than cure

“Yes!” Jiang Yuan nodded, but didn’t say what exactly.

"No wonder he has symptoms of intermittent amnesia!" Tang Xuewen shook his head and sighed.

"Is Dr. Tang a doctor?"

"I suppose so!" Tang Xuewen said with a worried look on his face. "Take good care of the little girl these next few days, otherwise it could cause post-traumatic stress disorder, which would be quite troublesome!"

"You mean?" Jiang Yuan had heard of this disease; it was a mental illness even more terrifying than depression.

"Yes!" Tang Xuewen nodded. "Be more patient with her and slowly guide her out of the shadow of that unbearable memory!"

"Actually, I'm not familiar with her, so my guidance might not be effective!" Jiang Yuan didn't want to get involved with Leng Yue.

"It's not what you think! It's obvious that she has no reservations about you, and even in her manic state, she still trusts you unconditionally!" Tang Xuewen corrected Jiang Yuan.

Then she continued, "Human psychology is time-sensitive. When a special person or thing appears in a specific place at a specific time, it often brings about a different psychological response!"

"When I asked her if she remembered something bad, she instinctively moved closer to you. This means that in her subconscious, you are a very reliable person who makes her feel safe!"

"So I suggest you spend more time with her and guide her out of her shadow!"

Jiang Yuan looked conflicted.

“Your injuries are quite severe, let me treat them for you!” Tang Xuewen didn’t pressure Jiang Yuan, but instead talked about Jiang Yuan himself.

"Old Tang, can you heal my injuries?" Jiang Yuan asked in surprise.

He was well aware of his injuries; they were multiple. He was only suppressing them for the time being. If the injuries were to flare up, the worst-case scenario would be that he would die instantly without recovering.

"Difficult! But it can heal a little bit!" Tang Xuewen's expression was solemn, seemingly because of Jiang Yuan's injuries.

"Old Tang, if you can cure me, I'll reward you. How many Holy Spirit Stones do you want?" Jiang Yuan said immediately.

"Forget about the Holy Spirit Stone. In chaotic times, healing the sick is the heart of a doctor!" Tang Xuewen smiled. "If you really feel bad about it, then take good care of that little girl."

Jiang Yuan looked through the curtain at the cold moon resting quietly outside.

"Relax first, don't use brute force to press on the injury!" Tang Xuewen gently patted Jiang Yuan's forearm. He could easily tell Jiang Yuan's current condition from Jiang Yuan's actions.

"Release?" Jiang Yuan asked in surprise. "If I release him, it will be much harder to treat him, Elder Tang?"

"Don't worry, I, Tang Xuewen, have dedicated my life to medicine. I wouldn't risk my own reputation!" Tang Xuewen said with a kind smile.

"Okay!" Jiang Yuan was genuinely worried.

“It’s better to guide and channel than to suppress it! The longer you suppress this injury, the greater the rebound will be!” Tang Xuewen gently shook his head. He was patient with his patients. He then explained, “The key to your injury lies in your blood and flesh!”

At this point, Tang Xuewen took Jiang Yuan's pulse, closed his eyes and pondered for a while before asking in surprise, "Are you from an ancient martial arts family?"

"Old Tang, how did you figure that out?" Jiang Yuan frowned. The other person's identity seemed to be more than just a pharmacy owner.

"The flesh and blood of ancient martial artists are far stronger than those of ordinary people, and the fact that you are still alive despite such severe damage is enough to prove that you are a scion of a top ancient martial arts family!"

After Tang Xuewen finished speaking, he took out a packet of silver needles. "However, the nine-fold shackles are both a constraint and a protection. The shackles are closely related to the physical body, and too much of a good thing is bad!"

"Listen to me, stretch out your hand and relax your whole body. I will unblock your disordered blood and qi, and you will be able to move around for a short time!" Tang Xuewen had already begun to remove the silver needles.

Seeing that the old man did not hesitate, Jiang Yuan reached out his hand and began to release the pressure on his injuries.

"Ugh!"

Without the suppression of power, the injuries erupted completely, turning the already battered body into an arena for various energies.

But the pain only lasted for five seconds. Jiang Yuan, who had closed his eyes due to the pain, only felt a few stinging sensations on his body. After the stinging sensation passed through his body, his injuries were actually stabilized.

Jiang Yuan was about to open his eyes to see what had happened when Tang Xuewen's voice rang in his ears, "Relax and let your Qi and blood return to normal!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan did as instructed, because the effect was indeed good, and the Heavenly Eye also sensed the medical methods that Elder Tang used on him.

That is the Chinese medical art of acupuncture. The art of acupuncture is easy to learn but extremely difficult to master. Moreover, due to the emergence of various pseudo-masters, this magical medical art has gradually declined, and there are not many people who truly grasp the essence of acupuncture anymore.

"I never expected to meet an acupuncture master here!" Jiang Yuan thought to himself, having already glimpsed the medical skills from the speed and technique of inserting the needles just now.

There were a total of forty-nine silver needles in his body, and it only took Tang Xuewen ten seconds to insert these forty-nine silver needles. At the same time, he could sense the connection between these forty-nine silver needles. They seemed to be scattered, but in fact they were indeed affecting the whole body as a whole system.

“Meridian acupuncture can only initially activate your own repair ability. Rest here for a while and I’ll go get some medicinal herbs for you!” Tang Xuewen said before going into another room on the next floor.

This pharmacy has a very strange layout: the front hall sells Western medicine, the middle hall is the pharmacist's rest room, and the back hall is a hidden Chinese medicine shop.

"This feels so good!"

Jiang Yuan felt the sensation brought to him by the silver needles. Tang Xuewen not only used acupuncture alone, but also used the innate rejuvenating technique. The silver needles were slowly twisted under the effect of the rejuvenating technique, and the feeling was very wonderful.

"It seems I need to decide on my next talent!" Jiang Yuan thought to himself.

That's right, he's already decided that his next talent will be the healing talent.

Of course, it wasn't Tang Xuewen's talent. He wasn't that ruthless. He turned around and stabbed someone right after they treated him, and then took the mark of the dead to learn the talent.

Jiang Yuan couldn't possibly do something like that. As for his healing talent, he would definitely have used a hundred Dead Man's Marks to refine it, but he had no idea what kind of monster he could create.

"The medicinal herb Ganoderma lucidum required for the cultivation plan of the Divine Wood Canon has been detected. Please collect it, host!"

"The Vermilion Fruit, a medicinal herb required for the Divine Wood Canon cultivation plan, has been detected. Please collect it, host!"

...

A barrage of prompts gave Jiang Yuan a headache.

"What's going on?" Jiang Yuan's brain wasn't working well to begin with, and he hadn't even digested the Reincarnation Holy Scripture yet. Now, with a whole bunch of prompts, he was in a daze and couldn't even remember what these medicinal herbs were for.

Jiang Yuan didn't come to his senses until Tang Xuewen's footsteps sounded.

"Holy crap! The cultivation plan of the Divine Wood Canon!"

Jiang Yuan moved, almost causing the silver needles on his body to fall off. The best cultivation plan of the Divine Wood Canon was recorded by the Heavenly Eye, so it would give a reminder when encountering medicinal herbs. He didn't expect to encounter it in this small pharmacy.

Once the cultivation plan is complete, the Divine Wood Canon can activate the ancient martial arts characteristics, which means it can enhance the body's activity.

Limb regeneration and immunity to all poisons are not far off.
