Chapter 33: Elixir [Asking for Tickets and Collection]
"No, we have to find a bigger pharmacy, or simply go to the palace and find the Imperial Doctor's Office."
Su Cheng didn't have much time to wander around Chang'an City, he needed to be more efficient.
Although there were some medicinal herbs in the small pharmacy, there were almost nothing precious, and he turned around and left.
In fact, the place with the most medicinal materials should be those large pharmacies, they collect medicinal materials from the hands of the medicine pickers, and then sell them at a high price, and there must be a lot of good items in between.
Chang'an gathered a large number of princes, nobles and bureaucratic landlords, and also stationed a large number of troops, businessmen from all over the country and even foreign countries gathered here, and the medicinal materials on the medicinal materials market came from all over the world.
Su Cheng is located in the West Market of Chang'an at this time, and the largest pharmacy here is Song's Pharmacy, there is a cauldron in front of the door to decoct medicine day and night, which is given to the people of Chang'an for free, and ordinary medicine can also cure all diseases!
Under the scanning of his divine sense, the structure of the two small buildings was thoroughly understood.
It seems that the first floor is for ordinary customers, there are several doctors who are seeing a doctor, and the guys who take medicine are also busy and orderly. The second floor is divided into a few small rooms, where some distinguished guests who do not want to show up are receiving medical treatment, and some ledgers and books are piled up.
In the backyard of the small building, there are some freshly picked herbs, which are classified and will not be mistaken.
Ordinary medicinal materials were of no use to Su Cheng, all he had to do was to write down most of the herbs and poisonous herbs that were helpful to him, anyway, his memory would also increase a lot after Zhihai was strong.
Tumbling from the eaves to the second floor, he carefully pushed open the wooden window, climbed in lightly, and closed the window without making any sound.
There are different types of works on the bookshelves here, such as "Qianjinfang", "Huangdi Neijing", "Shennong's Materia Medica", "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases", and "Qianjin Yifang".
Su Cheng glanced at the "Bronze Man Acupoint Acupuncture Diagram Sutra", and then ignored it directly!
He is now a cat, and it is not helpful to remember the acupuncture points of the human body, when there is a reference to the acupuncture points of the cat and the meridian trend chart.
"Tang Materia Medica? This should be similar to the "Compendium of Materia Medica", right? ”
Su Cheng looked up at the books on the bookshelf, there were more than fifty volumes of books with the prefix of "Tang Materia Medica" alone, no wonder studying medicine made people bald, there were so many works alone.
He was not tall enough to make up for it, so he carefully took out all the books and put them on the ground with his divine sense, and then focused on reading them from the beginning.
It is very inconvenient to flip the book with the cat's claws, one is not flexible enough, and the other is that the claws are too sharp, usually he hides the claws in the flesh pads of the soles of his feet, and will pop them out when he encounters danger!
Anyway, you need to exercise the control and flexibility of your divine sense, and it is also excellent to use it to turn over books.
This set of books seems to have really worked hard, and thousands of medicinal materials all have graphics and detailed descriptions of the form and growth environment, as well as medicinal effects and aliases.
There were grasses, trees, birds, beasts, insects and fish, fruits, vegetables, rice grains, and even some medicinal materials from the Western Regions, which made Su Cheng open his eyes.
"Tsk, the name of the Nine Great Immortal Grasses of China is too immortal!"
I don't know how the compilation doctor thinks about it, but in the "Tang Materia Medica", Dendrobium officinalis, Tianshan Snow Lotus, Triple Ginseng, Centennial Polygonum multiflori, Poria cocos of the flower armor, Ganoderma lucidum in the deep mountains, pearls under the sea, Cordyceps sinensis, and Cistanche are listed as the nine great immortal grasses in China.
If he didn't read the works on this herb, Su Cheng wouldn't know what Dendrobium was at all, and he wouldn't know that Cistanche was actually beneficial to the human body.
He has already thought about the target of the next ransack, and he must go to the palace for a walk!
The big forces can gather more people to do things, even if the feudal towns are seriously divided now, but the emperor still has a certain amount of real power, and the treasury and the imperial medical department must be rich in stock.
It took Su Cheng almost two hours to finish this set of "Tang Materia Medica", and many things were imprinted in his mind, and he would sort them out when he needed or had free time.
Using his mind to put the book back on the shelf, he was about to leave when he heard footsteps and conversations in the hallway.
"Shopkeeper Song, I heard that you have newly collected a centuries-old wild Ganoderma lucidum, how much silver can you sell?"
"Steward Xie is really well-informed. The hundred-year-old wild bouldering Ganoderma lucidum was only two days after you got it, and it was a fine product in Taishan Ganoderma lucidum! ”
Su Cheng's eyes flickered, and he didn't leave, but hid behind the bookshelf, wanting to inquire about the information.
The shopkeeper of Song is neither humble nor arrogant when facing the housekeeper of the county king's mansion, Song's pharmacy is the property of Song Shangshu, and an idle king really can't afford to make waves.
When Steward Xie heard this, he asked curiously: "Isn't this the 60th birthday of Prime Minister Yuan is coming, my prince plans to give a big gift, can I take a look at this Ganoderma lucidum?" ”
"Come with me, the Lingzhi is locked in the secret room, and it is very well preserved." Shopkeeper Song took out a key from his arms, and after he pushed open the door of the inconspicuous small room on the second floor, he inserted the key into a dark hole in the wall, and then twisted it gently.
The brick wall was hollow, and there was a small secret room, which was full of precious herbs received over the years.
"It's breathtaking!"
Not only did Steward Xie sigh, but Su Cheng, who was secretly snooping with his divine sense, was also surprised.
He had stolen a lot of Lingzhi last night, but none of them could compare to the one in the secret room, and even only one-tenth the size!
Shopkeeper Song said proudly: "This Ganoderma lucidum is produced in the cliff of the stone dock behind Mount Tai, and it is the most valuable alpine variety of Ganoderma lucidum. The top of Mount Tai is cold and unpredictable all year round, and no one has ever collected such a large amount of Ganoderma lucidum. The most bizarre thing is here, you look behind it. ”
Steward Xie looked over when he heard this, and saw that the back of the root of the lingzhi was holding a hard black stone one foot long and three inches wide!
The stone is deeply embedded in the Ganoderma lucidum, and it is one with it, black and white.
"Lingzhi usually grows on decaying trees, and there is no one like this that grows on stones." Shopkeeper Song touched his chin and beard, "According to the medicine farmer, he almost died in Jiuquan in order to pick this Ganoderma lucidum. The first time I went down from the top of the mountain, because the Ganoderma lucidum grew into one with the stone, it was difficult to start, so I could only return in vain. The second time Cai Zhi alarmed the old eagle in the middle of the cliff because of the sound of opening the stone too much, and he was almost pecked blind. ”
The aroma of Ganoderma lucidum came out of the secret room, Su Cheng raised his head slightly and sniffed twice, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Aura!" This is the legendary elixir! ”
I have eaten so many ginseng, snow lotus, and yellow essence, but they are all ordinary medicinal materials, but the medicinal power is relatively stronger, but they are still ordinary mortal herbs, and there is no aura at all.
But the Taishan bouldering lingzhi in the secret room was different, and the aura that escaped was enough to make Su Cheng crazy!
Don't miss out on this opportunity!
