CHAPTER 8: "Coincidental Scalpel"

A Scalpel?!

This knife from the blacksmith's shop had a blade resembling the leaves of a tree with 5 to 6 centimeters in length and width. It's size and the extent of the sharpness was very similar with the scalpel Yun Sheng had used in her previous life when she was at medical school.

Although Yun Sheng was born in a very traditional medical family in her past life, however her grandfather was a flexible person. He thought that eastern medicine and western medicine were both profound. This is why when Yun Sheng was young, she was instructed in the essence and system of eastern medicine. At the same time, she was encouraged to learn the standard system of western medicine.

Her few years of education in medical college in addition to the combination her Sheng Nong technique and acupuncture skills had allowed her to become a renowned student that was very skilled in surgery.

When she was still in her anatomy class, she had even set a record of removing the cancer and stitching up the rabbit's body within a minute.

Originally, Yun Sheng had thought that once she arrived to Wuji Continent, she wouldn't be able to see any sort of surgical knives. However, the knife in front of her had shocked her.

"That is the golden Xi Zhu's (rhinoceros pig?) long teeth made into knife blades. A few days ago in the village, a hunter had entered the mountains in hope of hunting down a Xi Zhu. It's a shame that the Xi Zhu had escaped. The hunter was only able to acquire half of the Xi Zhu's teeth. Half of a teeth isn't worth much. Thus, the hunter came to my shop to see if I could make any sort of weapon out of it. After I finished polishing it up, the tooth had turned into this small knife. It is very sharp. However, the size of it is too small.Therefore, many people didn't want it because they had no use for it. After looking at the small knife, Tie Gang sighed.

Wuji Continent is a special continent. The spiritual essence here was abundant. This continent had many magical beasts and many unexplained mysterious powers.

The continent not only have magicians but also martial warriors. Many of the spiritual beasts living here were all extremely ferocious. Just the size of the beasts were several times larger than the animals from modern times.

Aside from the small amount of trained spiritual birds, the spiritual beasts hidden deep in the mountains were extremely dangerous. According to the levels of powers, the beasts were divided into wild beasts, demonic beasts, and warrior beasts.

The golden Xi Zhu beast that Tie Gang mentioned was just a type of demonic beasts. It was a type of second or third leveled demonic beast. This beast resembled a pig with a pair of hook shaped fangs.

The golden Xi Zhu are ferocious. They were destructive and harmful to crops and other normal animals. Fortunately, this beasts lived most of its life hidden deep in the forests of the mountains. It didn't appear very often in the villages.

Its fangs were very durable and tough. They were comparable to the refined metals. To small villages that had deficient materials, the fangs of the golden Xi Zhu were just a pair of tools.

If it was a complete pair of fangs, the blacksmiths in the village would then be able to sell the knife for one silver coin.

The Wuji Continent's currency system is listed as accordingly: 10 copper coins equal to a silver coin and 10 silver coins equals to a golden coin. 10 of the golden coins could be exchanged to a single pure golden coin. One pure golden coin is enough to last a farmer's family for a whole month!

However, it was a shame that when the Xi Zhu's fangs were brought to the blacksmith, it was already broken in half. This made it become worthless.

"Uncle Tie, can you sell this small knife to me? However I only have two copper coins left" Yun Sheng had only earned a copper coin from selling 10 stems of sophora blossoms. She had wanted to save two copper coins to buy the blood pill. This meant she only have two copper coins left.
