Chapter 11: Searching for a life-saving drug
"Okay, okay, we make sure he can spend the night safely!" The doctor hurriedly said, wanting to struggle, but found that Lin Xu's strength was too great, and he almost lifted his whole body.
After letting go of the doctor, Lin Xu walked out of the ward and said to Zong Rong, "Miss Zong, I want to ask you to do me a favor." ”
"Well, happy to help!"
"I want you to borrow your relationship and don't let the messy people approach my parents on this night. Is that possible? ”
"There's nothing wrong with that."
"Okay, thank you. That bothers you. Lin Xu said and bowed to them. Now it's true that I have to ask for others, and I can't play any character.
"Hey, you, where are you going?" Zong Rong saw Lin Xu leaving, and asked puzzled.
Lin Xu didn't look back and said, "Go get the medicine to save my dad." ”
He wanted to spend one night refining the elixir that would save his father's arm and life. Whether it succeeds or not, in addition to looking at the destiny of heaven, is also a huge test of his ability.
After Lin Xu left the hospital, he hurried back to the cave. In addition to the need to refine the pill there, he had to find information about refining the Continuation Bone Pill from the alchemy fragments.
Huang Tian paid off, he really found the information about the relevant pills in the fragments, but because the relevant remnants were very badly damaged, some of the words were even more blurred, which made Lin Xu fall into confusion again.
I am just a beginner, and I don't have a qualitative understanding of alchemy, and if I refine it according to the formula, I can still refine some low-level pills, but I want to think about refining the new pill by myself, but I don't have this consciousness at all.
But now the situation is urgent, if the elixir can't be refined at dawn, my father's hand will definitely not be saved. Not to mention that he is a designer, his hand is his life, even if he is just the most ordinary person, he has to keep his hand.
Thinking of this, the corners of Lin Xu's eyes were sour, and a tear flowed uncontrollably. Wiping his eyes, he bothered his spirits and continued to ponder the information on the broken page, and after many understandings and references, he could basically determine the basic medicinal materials for refining the required pills.
Without further ado, he immediately returned to the city and bought the herbs he needed at the herbaries. It's a pity that the heart is already in the night, many medicinal herb stores are closed, and I ran half of Xicheng District, but I still can't buy enough medicinal materials.
The two most important of the main medicinal materials, before even asking for a little information, all the old doctors said that the things he wanted were too scarce, and it was basically difficult to get them with money now.
Lin Xu sighed, this alchemy is really not so simple, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice. But he didn't give up and continued to run through the pharmacy that was still open.
When I arrived at Nanhuai Street, there was a smaller pharmacy in front of me with the lights on, but it was only a small storefront, and it seemed that it was crowded with other large pharmacies.
Lin Xu wanted to cross over directly, but after thinking about it, maybe the business of this small pharmacy was not very good, maybe there was something he needed, and he couldn't miss any opportunity.
Running into the drugstore, there was an old man with a goatee, his hair was gray, although he was a little thin, but the whole person looked radiant, and he couldn't see the slightest decline.
Seeing someone coming in, he just glanced at it lightly, and after he put the medicinal herbs on the small scale in his hand, he asked, "What do you want to buy?" ”
After Lin Xu reported the medicinal materials he needed, the little old man's eyes lit up, and his movements stopped, obviously shocked by Lin Xu's words.
"Doctor, is there anything I want?" Lin Xu hurriedly asked.
The old man looked at the large bags of medicinal herbs on Lin Xu's back, and couldn't help but quip: "Young man, do you want to eat so many medicinal herbs when you buy them?" That's not how medicine is taken. ”
In the face of the old man's ridicule, Lin Xu didn't have the heart to say anything to him, but just asked again if there were any medicinal materials he needed.
The little old man was unhurried, stroked his goatee, smiled faintly, and said: "Young man, if you want to get these medicinal materials, not to mention that it is difficult to buy, novice doctors in general do not know that there are other medicinal materials in the world with this name." Seeing that you are so young, you actually know the names of these medicinal herbs that are almost disappearing, are you born in a medical family? ”
Lin Xu rolled his eyes and scolded his mother in his heart. He didn't have time to chat with this lonely and lonely old man, if he had it, if he had it, if he didn't have it, where did he get so much nonsense, and he didn't know how to save people as if he was fighting a fire.
If his father's illness was delayed because of him, it would be possible to come directly to the door and cause a doctor-patient accident at that time.
Shaking the bag on his body, Lin Xu turned around and left.
As soon as he stepped out of the door with his front feet, the little old man behind him stopped him: "Hey, aren't you here to buy medicine?" ”
Lin Xu wanted to leave in stride, but when he said this, could it be that he had medicinal materials in his store? This had to make him turn his head and ask coldly, "You have it?" ”
"If you don't, I won't stop you." The little old man showed a sly smile, and the small eyes under the white eyebrows were shining.
"Okay, take out as many as you have, I'll take them all." Lin Xu said.
"Oh, young man, it's not a small tone. Do you know how precious the herbs you buy are? Although they are not as famous as Ganoderma lucidum ginseng, they are much more precious than them. It costs thousands of dollars to buy one gram. The little old man said.
Lin Xu knew that this thing might be expensive, but he didn't expect it to be so ridiculously expensive, this old thing wouldn't be taking the opportunity to open his mouth and slaughter himself.
This time the situation was urgent, and he, a person who didn't spend much money on weekdays, took out all the money he had saved during the New Year's holidays, and he also had 10,000 yuan or 20,000 yuan. His family background is ordinary, but his expenses are not small, and it is already commendable to be able to save so much.
The medicinal materials he bought this night were all expensive, and he knew that he was uncertain now, and he didn't know how many times he would fail when refining the pill, and he said that he had bought a lot of medicinal materials, and he had already spent nearly 10,000 yuan at this time.
Now I want to buy these Chinese herbs, I don't know what they look like, don't buy a fist-sized piece like cutting a cake, it will cost him a few thousand yuan.
"Less nonsense, thousands of yuan will be thousands of yuan, hurry up and get the medicine out." Lin Xu said angrily.
The little old man smiled, but he didn't get angry because of Lin Xu's unfriendly attitude, asked him to wait for a while, and then turned around and entered the house. Just when Lin Xu was about to get impatient with waiting, he came out with a cardboard box-like thing.
When Lin Xu saw it, his face was suddenly full of black lines, and he said that such a valuable thing was put in such a broken box? This box is used to put garbage, which affects the appearance of the city, okay?
When he opened the box, the little old man really took out a black-brown thing the size of half a fist from it, which looked a bit like a stone, even if the color was ugly, it looked ugly.
The little old man seemed to see the doubts in Lin Xu's heart, and took the thing to Lin Xu and asked him to ask, and asked, "Is this the smell?" I, Jiang Banxian, have practiced medicine for a lifetime, and I won't fool you. ”
Lin Xu snorted secretly in his heart, he actually dared to claim to be a half-immortal, if he really had that ability, he wouldn't be so crowded. Look at the ashes on his counter, they can be used as account books.
"All of them?"
"All of them!"
The little old man smiled, took the thing and weighed it on a large scale. Lin Xu was speechless, such a small piece of things, it didn't weigh so much in his hand, was it necessary to change such a big scale.
"Two catties weigh, everyone is destined, count you 120,000!"
Lin Xu was petrified in an instant, weighing two catties? 120,000? Nima didn't rob like this.
"Too expensive? Too heavy? Young man, this thing has been called a Tianxin Stone by modern people, understand? It's something that money can't buy. Of course, for many people, buying it doesn't do much. Tell me honestly what you're going to do with it. Maybe I can give you a cheaper price. ”
"Can it be as cheap as 10,000?" Although Lin Xu himself felt that this bargaining was a bit ruthless, the 120,000 things were instantly cut into 10,000. But that's all he has now.
When the old man heard this, he laughed loudly, played with the herb with his right hand, stroked his beard with his left hand, and said, "If you want to tell me what you use it for, I will give you 10,000 yuan." ”
Lin Xu's first reaction was that he had been tricked, how could there be such a good thing. But when I think about it, I worked hard to sell Dan before, didn't someone from the sect buy it, believe it or not, I have to try it after all.
"I'll use it for alchemy." Lin Xu said. At this time, he had forgotten the advice of the beautiful master, and he must not reveal his identity in front of outsiders. Although he didn't directly say that he was a disciple of the Danding Sect now, who still alchemy this thought, if he really knew about this sect, then he would naturally be suspicious of his identity.
And at this moment, the old man was really stunned, and asked for a long time: "Alchemy?" ”
Lin Xu nodded, noncommittal.
"Who are you?" The old man asked.
Lin Xu opened his mouth, and the words came to his mouth, but he suddenly remembered the explanation of the beautiful master, swallowed the words back, and changed his words: "I am me, but I have read too many martial arts novels, and I am just obsessed with alchemy." ”
The little old man's eyes rolled, obviously not believing his words. However, he didn't refute, but handed over the medicinal herbs, and then smiled, and said, "There are still crazy people like you in this world, and I also admire the old man." ”
Lin Xu didn't say much, and after putting the medicinal herbs in his backpack, he decisively paid 10,000 yuan to the old man. At this time, he only had a few hundred yuan on his body.
Carrying the bag, Lin Xu turned around and left. The little old man stopped him again, saying that there were only two medicinal herbs left that he wanted to buy, but he was afraid that it would be even more difficult to buy than this.
Lin Xu was stunned for a moment, it was indeed the case, for those two medicinal materials, many big doctors said that they had not heard of them. "What else do you have?"
"I don't have it here, but I can get it for you." The little old man said.
Lin Xu's heart was hot, and he secretly sighed that he had really met a nobleman, maybe it was his father's kindness that made him die. However, the naked reality made his passion instantly extinguished.
"But I don't have the money to buy it." He said with some gloom. Just about to propose an exchange condition, the old man took the initiative to speak: "I can get you two medicinal herbs, and I can even return your 10,000 yuan." But you must promise me one thing. ”
"What's the matter?"
"If you succeed in alchemy, give me one pill of your pill. If that fails, bring me the residues of your herbs. ”
Lin Xu was stunned for a moment, if he wanted the pill, he could still understand it, what did he want the residue to do?
"You don't have to pay attention to this, you just have to tell me if it's okay or not." The old man had put away his somewhat thief smile and had become very serious.
"Good!" Lin Xu replied decisively, there is such a good thing, why not do it. Before, he thought that this old thing would ask about his identity, but if that was the case, he would really be entangled.
