Volume 3 Chapter 52 The Three Jewels
Hearing what the master of the Pharmacopoeia Pavilion said, Zhan Xiu was stunned again.
Thinking back to his actions these days, there is nothing particularly surprising except for experimenting with those herbs, and the ghost of the day suddenly regained his nerves for some reason, so he boiled a pot of smorgasbord medicinal soup so indiscriminately, and just like that, he actually discovered the secret of the herbs in the Pharmacopoeia Pavilion? That's too!
Ignoring what Zhan Xiu was thinking, the Pharmacopoeia Pavilion Master continued to nod and said, "Yes, it's those herbs, don't look at me all the time, but in fact, I've been sending people to pay attention to you."
Zhan Xiu couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, secretly thinking that he hadn't noticed that he was doing things for so many days, and he didn't know that there were still people watching him.
The master of the Pharmacopoeia Pavilion smiled with a rare smile: "Don't think about it, in fact, I just arranged for someone to pay attention to whether the herbs in the medicine garden have been passive, and you will know it at a glance."
Zhan Xiu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then he was stunned to listen to the master of the Pharmacopoeia Pavilion elaborate on the secrets in the Pharmacopoeia Pavilion, which he had never known and could not imagine before.
The medicinal herbs in the medicine garden are a total of one thousand and twenty-four plants, and these medicinal herbs are not planted on the slopes and cliffs at random as seen by Zhanxiu, allowing them to grow in the wild, but are actually carefully selected from a large number of experiments and cultivation and planted here, and the cultivation combination of the pharmacopoeia is quite particular.
These seemingly inconspicuous but precious herbs, together with the stone tablets in the cave and the blue waves and cold pools that I have been to soak in many times, are known as the Three Treasures of Shennongtang among the disciples of Shennongtang.
In fact, among the disciples of Shennong Hall, this is not a particularly confidential matter, but it is a secret to outsiders and candidate disciples who have just entered Shennong Hall, and only after becoming a disciple of the inner hall will they come into contact with these materials. Among these three treasures, the two treasures of the stone tablet and the cold pool are of course precious, but for the pharmacopoeia pavilion, the herbs in the medicine garden are the real treasures and the foundation of the pavilion.
Zhan Xiu was surprised when he heard this secret, on the one hand, he was happy to have the opportunity to come into contact with these secrets, and finally he had come to the right place to join the Pharmacopoeia Pavilion this time, at least he wouldn't go back empty-handed in vain. On the other hand, he was also a little frightened and puzzled, not knowing what the purpose of the Pharmacopoeia Pavilion Master was to tell him this secret that ordinary outer disciples should not know, not to mention that even if he knew this secret, it was actually meaningless, except for blindly boiling a pot of soup, he didn't know what this herb was for.
However, the technique mentioned by the Pharmacopoeia Pavilion Master next just answered the doubts in Zhan Xiu's mind.
"Raw serving, steaming, external use, and animal feeding, these four methods are the most traditional and basic uses of this thousand and twenty-four kinds of medicinal herbs. When I accept disciples, I never pay attention to appearance or roots, but to an understanding. I will not teach the candidate disciples in advance when they enter the Pharmacopoeia Pavilion, but let them understand on their own, only after taking the initiative to discover these herb secrets, will they be allowed to come into contact with the core of the Pharmacopoeia Pavilion, otherwise even if they pass the three-level test, they will never want to learn the true essence of my Pharmacopoeia Pavilion", the Pharmacopoeia Pavilion master said this, and a few meaningful smiles appeared on his indifferent face.
"I see", Zhan Xiu nodded.
It's no wonder that since entering the Pharmacopoeia Pavilion, the master of the Pharmacopoeia Pavilion has disappeared without a human figure. After thinking about it, I felt a little strange, this Shennongtang Three Treasures didn't see how much attention everyone paid to it, for example, at least there should be a lot of people vying to use it or see something, but after coming here for so long, I haven't seen anyone else except for Tao Fang, who is also a candidate disciple in Hantan.
In this medicine garden, except for the fat man and himself, no one has ever come, is this still the Three Treasures? It doesn't feel like it at all.
Seeing Zhan Xiu's face, the master of the Pharmacopoeia Pavilion seemed to know what Zhan Xiu was thinking, and touched his chin and said lightly but with some pride: "Since it is the Three Treasures of Shennongtang, it is naturally not easy to use it for candidate disciples who are not even disciples of the outer hall, not to mention, this is not the real general altar of Shennongtang."
"Huh? Then where is this", Zhan Xiu was really surprised at this time, and couldn't help but ask.
"This is just a branch altar specially used to recruit disciples, but even if it is a branch altar, the eight major branch pavilions still send people to station. These herbs in the medicine garden are transplanted and cultivated from the main altar, and the Bibo Hantan is only from the positive Bibo Hantan to take out some cold stones at the bottom of the water and throw them in the mountain spring, as for the stone tablet in the back mountain, it is purely some imitations, so the herbs in the medicine garden are actually the most precious. ”
After saying these words, the master of the Pharmacopoeia Pavilion touched his chin, as if he was quite proud.
"No wonder!" , Zhan Xiu couldn't help but sigh.
Then the master of the Pharmacopoeia Pavilion said quite seriously: "It's just that what I didn't expect is that you are the first person in these years who has not passed the third level of testing and experience to break the secret of the medicine garden, although this may be due to the body essence and blood mentioned by the master of the Ten Thousand Beasts Pavilion, but after all, I have already understood it so early, I originally intended to make an exception to bring you to the main altar, and after becoming a disciple of the outer hall, you will be given the real secret book in the Pharmacopoeia Pavilion, but based on your true identity, I will first ask for your opinion."
"Huh?" , The master of the Pharmacopoeia Pavilion has long known his true identity. Zhan Xiu touched his head, he didn't know what to say, now that he knew, this thing was really a bit weird.
I didn't see any reaction from this pavilion master when I broke into the Ecstasy Array that day and almost sent him to death, no matter what, let myself wander in it like sending him to death, so we are also a royal second son! This approach seems to be very inconsistent with today's reality, and the longer he comes into contact with this world, the clearer Zhan Xiu becomes that the difference between slaves and nobles is really great.
Of course, Zhan Xiu said this in his heart, but he didn't say it.
At this time, the face of the master of the Pharmacopoeia Pavilion returned to his previous indifference, and he said slowly: "At the beginning of the establishment of my Shennongtang, the ancestor of Shennongtang set the purpose of the founding of Shennongtang, since it is his responsibility to save the suffering of the world, those who naturally enter my hall will be treated equally regardless of whether they are high or low, and they must first have the dedication to sacrifice themselves for others to achieve people's livelihood, so as to be able to stand forever and not fall."
Zhan Xiu was shocked, recalling some legends about Shennong's clan in his previous life, thinking that this was really the case, but he didn't expect that at this time thousands of years ago, he had this kind of rather advanced consciousness, that is, in the era in which he lived, he said so, but he didn't actually do it.
"If you are willing to become a disciple of Shennongtang, you can naturally go to the main altar after passing the three levels of testing, you can watch the real secret book stele, you can soak in the real blue waves and cold pools, and see more than these thousand and twenty-four kinds of more and more mysterious herbs and their uses, but your freedom will be limited to a certain extent."
"If you don't want to, after passing the three-level test, you will still have the opportunity to contact my Shennongtang Three Treasures, however, the opportunity is limited, you can get a Tongtian pill, a chance to soak in the blue wave cold pool, and a one-day opportunity to observe the stone tablet."
"If you can't pass the three levels of the test, you naturally won't have a chance to enjoy these!"
"So, can you tell me now if you are willing to become a disciple of Shennongtang?"
