This is the 2nd volume in The Librarian and the Fox Princess series.
It is highly recommended that readers read the first volume, The Librarian and the Fox Princess: A Donghua Dijun and Bai Fengjiu Story, as there is a whole world built around thes...
The Snow Lion stopped outside once he used his magic to open the double doors to the room.
He swung his large head over to his former master and raised a furry white eyebrow nodded his heavy white head towards the room.
Donghua did not know why the beast had lead him here. It was his apothecary. It was where he would occasionally dry and process herbs, create herbal concoctions and other medicinal tonics. The God of Luminous Treasures and the King of Medicines were the only other Celestial gods in the Nine Heavens who knew of its existence. There have been instances where the almighty god was asked to examine and treat the rare and mystical creatures that lived at the God of Luminous Treasures' manor. He was devoted to caring for these prized beasts and when his physicians were challenged with a case, the God of Luminous Treasures discreetly sought the help from the former Heavenly Emperor.
There were times where to challenge himself and pass the time, Donghua would learn about various ailments from different realms and create medicines and herbal treatments for them. Once Zhong Lin saw the almighty god casually toss a bottle of medicine down the gaping hole of Zhu Xian Terrace.
When the Master Housekeeper of Tai Chen Palace saw this, he later curiously inquired about what he had seen.
Donghua simply said that he had heard that the Mortal Realm was struggling with certain epidemics and plagues.
"I made something to help with typhoid."
Zhong Lin nodded but his brow furrowed. "But ... Your Majesty, if I may ask, you threw this down to the Mortal Realm ... how will ... how will they find it?"
With a blank face, the almighty god replied, "I made the porcelain bottle it's in shatter-proof. It may fall and hit someone on the head or it may or it may land on the side of the road. Either way, my artistry in creating the bottle is impeccable and it is bound to be noticed."
Zhong Lin nodded. "But Dijun, what if it falls into the sea, or lands on the roof of a house, or gets buried in mud."
"You know that coincidences and chance are mortal-made concepts due to their own limited consciousness and understanding of how the universe works. I have made this to be found and so it shall be."
Zhong Lin bowed his head. "Yes Dijun, of course."
After witnessing the almighty god casually toss different remedies into different realms, Zhong Lin suggested that perhaps if he could trade some of them on the black market and in that way, those who are desperately seeking certain cures will have a chance at finding them.
"Fine," Donghua replied indifferently while he continued to gaze out while he sipped his tea sitting next to the koi pond.
The Snow Lion, seeing his former master lost in thought, decided to help bring the almighty god into the present moment.
