After finishing the last page, the ability also indicated that the book had been fully downloaded. Lu Qing immediately chose to learn it. In the next moment, a vast amount of knowledge about acupuncture points surged from deep within his mind. He tilted his head back, closed his eyes, and silently absorbed the information.

"These acupuncture points on the human body are truly marvelous."

"According to the 'Theory of Acupuncture Points', the major points of the human body govern various crucial areas and are closely linked to one's life state."

"A skilled healer, if they apply the right techniques, can treat illnesses with needles alone, without any medicinal herbs, bringing the dying back to life and rescuing people from dire situations."

At this moment, Lu Qing had completely memorized the entire "Theory of Acupuncture Points". However, memorizing it was one thing; it did not mean he now knew how to perform acupuncture. He had only theoretical knowledge without any practical experience. If he were to treat a patient now, he wasn't sure if he could cure them, but he was certain he could harm them.

To fully master this "Theory of Acupuncture Points", he still had much to learn. Nevertheless, just gaining an understanding made Lu Qing realize how extraordinary the field of medicine was. Whether it was pharmaceuticals or acupuncture, both were extensive and profound, with complex knowledge. Mastering either was incredibly challenging.

If it weren't for his special ability, he didn't know how long it would take him to understand the two medical books given by his master.

Gently flipping through the book, Lu Qing resumed his study. Although he had memorized the contents, he still preferred the feeling of reading a physical book.

In the golden light of dusk, Lu Qing kept reading until the sun set and the sky darkened before putting the book away.

That night, Xiao Yan once again did not see the black beast she had been eagerly waiting for. The little creature seemed to have some special ability, appearing only when Xiao Yan had fallen asleep.

Indeed, just as Lu Qing tucked the sleeping child in, he heard the familiar scratching at the door. He brought out the fresh fish he had prepared from the kitchen and opened the door.

He saw a black figure nimbly jump back, its front paws together as it elegantly sat down, quietly watching Lu Qing, waiting for him to put down the fish.

"You are getting more and more relaxed." Lu Qing shook his head, placing the fish down and stepping back a few paces.

The black beast immediately approached and started devouring the fish in the wooden basin. Lu Qing watched it eat in silence, not disturbing it.

Compared to ten days ago, the black beast had grown slightly larger. Its attitude had also changed from being suspicious and wary to now facing Lu Qing calmly. It no longer grabbed one fish and hid to eat before coming out for the next; now, it simply ate directly from the basin.

Though its attitude had become much calmer, Lu Qing still couldn't get close to it, let alone touch it. Not that he ever intended to. If the little creature got agitated and scratched him, his hand might be ruined.

He didn't believe his hands or feet could be as hard as steel or stone. Besides, even if they were, this little thing could tear through them.

So every time, after placing the fish, he would step back to avoid provoking this little master. The black beast, after eating the fish, would leave without a second glance. But this time, something was different.

After finishing the fish, the black beast turned and jumped out of the fenced yard. Just as Lu Qing was about to retrieve the wooden basin, he saw it reappear before him.

"What, didn't you get enough to eat?" Lu Qing couldn't help but ask.

That shouldn't be the case. Today he had added more fish than the day before. Even if the little creature had grown, its appetite shouldn't have increased that much all at once.

The black beast, hearing Lu Qing's words, revealed a faintly disdainful look in its eyes. If Lu Qing had noticed, he would have seen it as a look of contempt.

Unfortunately, Lu Qing didn't pay attention to that because his focus was on something else.

"What are you holding in your mouth?"

It turned out that the black beast had something in its mouth. It seemed to be grayish-white, but Lu Qing couldn't see clearly. The moonlight tonight was dim, with only a thin crescent moon hanging in the sky.

The black beast approached, placing the item on the ground, then retreated a few steps.

"Is this for me?" Lu Qing was surprised.

The black beast didn't move, just quietly watched Lu Qing. Lu Qing understood that the item was indeed a gift for him.

"Really for me?"

Lu Qing was genuinely astonished. After feeding the little creature for so long, this was the first time he received a gift in return.

"What is this?"

Lu Qing stepped forward and gently picked up the item. As soon as he held it, he could tell it was a plant root. It had leaves at the top and numerous roots below, still covered in some soil.

Under the faint moonlight, he began to examine the item in his hand. The more he looked, the wider his eyes opened.

Having memorized the "Compendium of Materia Medica" thoroughly, Lu Qing recognized the plant in his hand more and more.

"This can't be..."

Before the thought fully formed in his mind, his special ability provided the answer.

A faint glow of ability light appeared from the plant in his hand. Most importantly, this light wasn't just white; it had a faint hint of red.

Ginseng: A precious medicinal herb, edible and non-toxic.

This ginseng has grown for a long time, seemingly over a hundred years.

Legend has it that ginseng has various miraculous effects, and those that have grown long enough may develop spiritual intelligence.

A hundred-year-old ginseng!

Seeing the information provided by his ability, Lu Qing's eyes widened in shock.
