Chapter 118: Identifying Herbs
Sitting in the study, Xuan Yan took out the painting of Li Shizhen, the god of medicine, which is the heirloom prescription.
Of the thirty-two herbs in the hand-me-down prescription, Xuan Yan had all traced them on paper. He searched through all the medical books in the study, and only found the names and characteristics of the fifteen herbs.
These fifteen herbs are relatively common, they are sold in any drugstore, and the price is not expensive, and Xuan Yan has already bought a lot of them.
In addition to the fifteen herbs that can be found in ordinary medical books, Xuan Yan also identified the seven herbs with the help of Huang Lao.
Although Huang Lao is only in the realm of ordinary doctors, he has seen a lot, and the seven flavors of Chinese medicine he identified are relatively rare, and ordinary doctors really don't know it.
Xuan Yan had already asked Huang Lao to help him collect these seven-flavor herbs, and he thought that he would soon have a harvest.
For the rest, there are still ten flavor herbs, Xuan Yan didn't find any relevant introduction about them, if it was an ordinary doctor, when he saw these ten flavor herbs, he would definitely scoff and tell Xuan Yan that this was not a herb at all.
But as a virtuous doctor, Xuan Yan knew that the God of Medicine would not play tricks on Xuanxuan, since he had drawn these ten flavors of herbs, then these ten flavors of herbs must exist.
And if you want to get the relevant clues of these ten flavor herbs, the most direct way is to ask for help from the Li family near the lake, the Li family is the descendant of the god of medicine, and their family has completely preserved the original manuscript of the "Compendium of Materia Medica", which will definitely have a detailed introduction to the ten flavor herbs.
But if they asked for help from the Li family near the lake, Xuan Yan could not guarantee that they would not guess the matter of the heirloom prescription, the Li family near the lake has always been domineering, if they learned that Xuan Yan had obtained one of the heirloom prescriptions left by the medicine god, they would definitely take advantage of it.
Although Xuanyan is the respect of the four cities of Gan Province, this kind of status in the mundane has no meaning in front of the transcendent Li family near the lake.
In addition to the Li family near the lake, Xuan Yan can also ask for help from some other Chinese medicine families, but first, he has no acquaintances among these families, and second, Xuan Yan is also afraid that they will notice something.
The heirloom prescription was too precious, and if it wasn't necessary, Xuan Yan didn't want anyone to know that he had a heirloom prescription, including the old man of his family. Because the old man is too high-profile and likes to show off too much, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not leak his mouth one day, and even if Xuan Yan tells the old man, it is useless, and the old man also knows nothing about the theory of Chinese medicine.
can't publicize it, and can't ask people for help, at this time, Master Zhu has become Xuanyan's only choice.
As a person from the Poison Sect, Master Zhu's understanding of herbs and pharmacology is probably more thorough than that of most Chinese medicine practitioners, and he may be able to recognize these ten herbs.
With this thought, Xuan Yan picked up the drawings of the ten medicinal herbs and came downstairs again.
Master Zhu had already eaten enough, and was leaning back on the chair in front of the dining table to close his eyes and recuperate, his mental state was still not particularly good, because of the Three Absolute Acupuncture Method.
Three unique needle methods, absolute essence and absolute spirit!
After winning the Three Absolute Acupuncture Method, even if Master Zhu eats enough and sleeps enough, he will still feel sluggish.
Moreover, this feeling will become stronger and stronger with the delay of time, which is why the person who has been hit by the Three Absolute Needles needs to be rescued by the needle practitioner once a month, because if there is no needle practitioner, one month is enough time for the person who has been hit by the Three Absolute Needles to fall into a complete coma.
Right now, twenty-seven days have passed since Master Zhu was planted by Xuan Yan with the Three Absolute Acupuncture Method, and he can still stay awake, which is already much stronger than ordinary people.
Xuan Yan didn't wake him up, but with a wave of her hand, she stabbed a silver needle into Master Zhu's chest.
Master Zhu's eyes widened suddenly, just for a moment, he felt that his strength and spirit were much better, he looked down at the position of Xuanyan's needle on his chest, and his eyes were thoughtful.
"Don't think about it, if the three absolute stitches are so easy to crack, it can't be regarded as a 'absolute' word. Xuan Yan said indifferently.
"I don't need to crack it, I just need to remember the position where you apply the needle every month?" Master Zhu's eyes flickered, and he stared at Xuan Yan's eyes and said.
Xuan Yan smiled faintly and responded, "You can try, maybe it's really feasible." ”
Just looking at the smile on Xuan Yan's face, Master Zhu knew that he was whimsical. The three needle method, each needle applicator will use the needle method will be different, although there are only three silver needles, but can give birth to infinite changes, not only each needle applicator is different, together with a caster, two times to perform the three needle method, the needle method will also be very different.
This is the most unique and difficult part of the three unique stitches!
"What are you holding?" Master Zhu was no longer entangled in this, he couldn't help but ask when he saw the paper in Xuan Yan's hand.
"Ten flavors of herbs, see how many flavors you know. Xuan Yan spread the paper in front of Master Zhu and said lightly.
"Han Qingye - Turtle Spirit Root - " Master Zhu easily recognized the first two, he did not continue to identify them, but turned his head to look at Xuan Yan with a puzzled expression, and said with a sneer: "You don't even know this? ”
"I am a descendant of the Yellow Emperor Mingtang faction. Xuan Yan said lightly.
"The Yellow Emperor Mingtang Sect is right, you are a disciple of the Huangfu family, but even if you are a disciple of the Huangfu family, there is no such a clear boundary now, right? Since the birth of the God of Medicine, all Chinese medicine families have long regarded pharmacology as the best. Master Zhu looked at Xuan Yan strangely and asked.
In modern society, traditional Chinese medicine has long been the best of all families and has become a single line, and it is indeed rare to see a pure descendant of the Yellow Emperor Mingtang sect like Xuanyan.
"Stop talking nonsense and continue to identify other herbs. Xuan Yan didn't explain to Master Zhu, but said indifferently.
"Hey, have you found the shortcomings of the Yellow Emperor Mingtang Sect, and want to learn more pharmacological knowledge?" Master Zhu said with a smile: "Han Qing Ye, the five elements belong to water, but the eyes are clear, the turtle spirit root, the earth attribute, the main solid foundation Peiyuan, what do you want them to do?"
Xuan Yan still didn't answer him, but directly flipped the paper to the third and fourth sheets.
"Blood Yuzhi—"
"Qianhong—"
Master Zhu identified them one by one, and quickly identified all the first nine herbs.
"The five elements are complete, the four seasons are bright, hey, this is a prescription, right? Master Zhu suddenly realized, he smiled, and said a little proudly.
Xuan Yan was shocked in his heart, but his face did not change in the slightest, and he did not make any response to Master Zhu's question.
"However, there is a problem with your prescription, the idea is good, but it is not practical, and several of the herbs are not compatible at all. Master Zhu shook his head again and said.
