For Old Man Wu, at first, when Ma Wu said that he had less than a week to live, he was still skeptical. After all, he felt his body most deeply, and Old Man Wu's body gradually hardened during this time, and he had a tendency to get out of bed directly.

However, a few days after Ma Wu left, Old Man Wu's body deteriorated sharply, his legs were swollen and painful every night, and his heart was like being eaten by ten thousand insects, and he was in pain.

At this time, Ma Wu arrived as promised, and Old Man Wu seemed to have been savior. He knew that if Ma Wu hadn't helped, he might have to go west in the next few days.

Ma Wu listened to Old Man Wu's desperate words, but surprisingly didn't comfort him, Ma Wu just smiled lightly, and said to Old Man Wu: "Old Man Wu, you don't have to worry, since you have collected all the medicinal materials, even if you have exhausted your longevity today, I can pull you back from the ghost gate." ”

Wu Ting lightly bumped Ma Wu and said angrily: "How do you speak." Also, don't call Old Man Wu all day long, my father's name is Wu Xin. ”

Ma Wu nodded and said with a smile: "Old man Wu Xin." ”

Wu Xin waved his hand and said, "It's okay." ”

Then he ordered his subordinates: "Hurry up, bring in the collected medicinal herbs!" ”

Soon, the people under the Wu family pushed several small carts to bring in the medicinal materials, and two of them had freezers on them, which were specially used to store special medicinal materials.

Along with the servants came a kind-looking young man, and an old man with a proud face.

As soon as the old man came in, Ma Wu felt his hostility towards him.

Ma Wuxin said: What is this person doing, he has nothing to do? But I didn't pay much attention to it. He opened several small cabinets containing medicinal herbs in front of him.

The medicinal herbs in the cabinet are very good-looking, and many of them even have crystal water droplets on them, exuding a faint aroma of medicinal herbs.

Ma Wu nodded to Wu Xin and said, "Old man Wu Xin, I have taken a general look at these medicinal materials, and they are better both in terms of year and preservation." I won't look at these excipients carefully, mainly look at the two main drugs, the main drugs are fine, and I can start to treat you. ”

After Ma Wu finished speaking, he walked to one of the freezers, opened the freezer and looked inside, and there was a light blue fruit inside, the size of a small kumquat, emitting a faint fluorescence.

As soon as Ma Wu opened the freezer, the whole room exuded a very strong sweet fragrance, Wu Ting took two sips with her nose fiercely, and said curiously: "Ma Wu, what is this?" ”

Ma Wu gently poked the pale blue fruit with a silver needle, and the fruit was slightly deformed and then bounced back, extremely elastic.

He nodded with satisfaction, turned his head to Wu Ting and said, "This is the Ice Cold Fruit, which has only been found in the northern tip of Russia. Very precious. I just looked at this ice cold fruit, the year is at least three years, and it is very well preserved, presumably the old man Wu Xin has put a lot of thought into transporting these over. ”

Wu Xin smiled, waved his hand casually, and said indifferently: "It's all a trivial matter, and the medicinal materials are fine." ”

Ma Wu nodded, "There is still a taste." ”

Ma Wu walked over to another freezer very far away from this freezer and opened it. And what is stored in this freezer is a dead branch. The dead branches are about the thickness of a thumb, more than ten centimeters long, and they look unremarkable, just like the dead branches you pick up on the road.

But as soon as the freezer was opened, there was a scorching smell in the room. The ice cubes in the freezer were plummeting with white smoke, and there was a tendency to melt.

Ma Wu looked at it like this for a few seconds, and the arrogant old man on the side suddenly sneered and said coldly: "Junior, don't destroy the medicinal materials." Exposing a golden twig to the air for a long time will make it lose its medicinal effect! ”

Ma Wu didn't look at him, still staring at the dead branch called the golden branch in the white smoke. According to the primary medical information he obtained from the system, the golden branch will not affect the effect of the medicine if it is exposed to the air for less than half a minute, and only after half a minute will the effect of the medicine pass.

The best way to tell if a golden branch is good or bad is to place a large pile of ice next to it, and judge it by the degree of melting of the ice cube and the thickness of the white smoke in the air.

Ma Wu obtained this knowledge for the first time, but he only knew the method, but he had not practiced it, and he could not be proficient, so he was very attentive at this time and could not be disturbed by others.

The arrogant old man saw that Ma Wu didn't answer him, and felt a little embarrassed, and shouted: "Junior, can't you hear the old man talking?" You're ruining the herbs! ”

A trace of anger flashed on Ma Wu's face, he looked at the old man, and shouted: "Old guy, don't rely on the old to sell the old, I am here to identify medicinal materials, what are you doing there?" ”

Wu Xin saw that the two were arguing, and hurriedly persuaded: "Two, two, are all to bring back my old life, it's not good to quarrel, don't hurt the harmony." ”

After speaking, Wu Xin gestured to the old man to Ma Wu and said, "I forgot to tell you, Brother Ma Wu, this is my previous attending physician, called Li Li." He is a very well-known physician in Province Y, and I hired him at great expense. ”

Ma Wu glanced at the old man, but he smiled and said, "Yes, it's really a big name." As a doctor, don't you know not to bother other other doctors when they are appraising? How did you get out of school? ”

Li Li's face was also stagnant, and after thinking for a while, he quibbled: "Hmph, didn't I think you were about to damage the medicinal herbs and think that you were not a real doctor, so I reminded you?" You are young enough to be cured of this strange disease? ”

"Ridiculous," Ma Wu snorted, "You have lived so long that your knowledge has lived to your face?" Still using age to determine the skills of others? ”

Then Li Li shouted: "Junior, you are bold!" The medicinal herb just now is a golden branch, which cannot be exposed to the air for a long time, and the white mist that passed before is its medicinal effect, you have wasted such a precious medicinal material, and you still want to quibble that you are a qualified doctor? ”

After Li Li said this, the Wu family next to him, who didn't know much about medicinal materials, all looked at Ma Wu with questioning eyes.

Li Li has been in the Wu family for so long, everyone has already subconsciously chosen to believe Li Li, not to mention that what Li Li just said seems to be quite reasonable.

And Wu Ting saw that everyone didn't believe Ma Wu very much, and she suddenly became a little anxious, she said to Li Li: "Doctor Li, this may be Ma Wu's different way of applying medicine?" You must know that many medicinal materials are used in different ways and have different effects. ”

Li Li glanced at Wu Ting, hid the disdain in his eyes very well, and said, "Other medicinal materials are really possible, but this golden branch, since ancient times, has not been used in this way. ”

Wu Ting's face was stunned, and she forcibly stopped what she was about to say. In terms of medicinal materials, she didn't know much about them, so she couldn't help Ma Wu at all.

Wu Ting walked to Ma Wu's side and told everyone with her body language: No matter what you think of Ma Wu, I support him unconditionally anyway.

Ma Wu waited for Li Li to say so much, and public opinion had already moved closer to Li Li, before he suddenly said: "Finished? Old guys? You can discern the golden bough, and at the same time know that the golden bough loses its medicinal effect in the air, and I have to admit that you are a doctor. ”

"But you're also an unqualified, half-finished doctor! The golden branch will lose its medicinal effect when exposed to the air, but it must have a certain amount of time, haven't you read the "Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon"? It is not clearly written on it, and only after the exposure time is more than half a minute, the golden branch will begin to lose its efficacy? ”

"And I, from the moment I opened the freezer, I strictly pinched the time, from the time I opened the freezer to the time I closed the freezer, the total time was only thirteen seconds, and you called here and there?"

Li Li obviously didn't expect Ma Wu to be able to refute himself like a cannon, and he also moved out of the Yellow Emperor's internal scriptures.

For this rare medicinal material like Jin Zhi, he only understands a little bit, where does he know what half a minute will lose the medicinal effect, at this time, Ma Wu took out the facts to refute, and was immediately speechless, squeaked for a long time before saying:

"Then why are you opening the freezer? I—Of course I know that it will take half a minute for the golden branch to lose its effect! But isn't it afraid of the unexpected? It's always nice not to open the freezer. Won't I remind you of this? ”
