"According to your statement, Chengjia is using poisonous medicinal materials to make various elixirs and medicines, and Chengjia's elixirs and medicinal materials are also sold to various states. Has such an obvious thing not been discovered?" Zhang Tiewu
He asked with a frown.
"The poisonous medicinal materials of Chengjia have very special toxicity. They are definitely not comparable to any poison we have seen. Even if ordinary people use the elixirs of Chengjia, they will never discover the toxins hidden in the elixirs...
"A bitter smile appeared on Sun Jiagu's face.
"Did Chengjia add poisonous substances to the medicinal materials?"
"No, Chengjia did not add any extraneous things to the medicinal materials. All the elixirs made by Chengjia strictly follow the manufacturing process and manufacturing process, and no extraneous things will be added to them!"
Zhang Tie was a little confused, "Then where did Chengjia's poisonous medicinal materials come from?"
"It was grown by Cheng Jia himself!"
"Are you saying that the medicinal materials grown by Cheng Jia are poisonous right from the moment they are grown?" Zhang Tie asked in surprise. Although he was not an alchemist, Zhang Tie still felt that Sun Jiagu's words were a little strange based on Zhang Tie's understanding of the alchemist profession.
incredible.
"Yes!"
"When planting those medicinal materials, Chengjia did something wrong, such as adding poisonous substances to the fertilizers or pesticides of the medicinal materials!"
"Without any manipulation, the medicinal materials grown in the medicinal fields owned by the Chengjia are the same as those grown by other families, and there are many medicinal farmers under the Chengjia. If the Chengjia wants to fertilize and plant Middle Eastern medicine, they can't hide it at all.
!”
"Is it because the medicine is shoddy and inferior, or is it deliberately using the wrong formula, raw materials and portions, or is it manipulating the medicine in such a way that the properties of the medicine are incompatible with each other?"
"That's not the case. Among the various elixirs made by Chengjia, whatever raw materials are used are used. The weight and formula of the raw materials are all accurate. There is no tampering with this!"
Zhang Tie laughed and said, "I'm confused when you say that. There is no problem with the medicinal materials, there is no problem with the manufacturing process, and no poisonous substances are deliberately added. How can the medicinal materials used by the family become poisonous? Are they really good medicinal materials?
, one comes out as poison.”
"The medicinal materials used to form a family are poisonous when they come out!" Sun Jiagu said through gritted teeth.
"The family grew those medicinal herbs!"
"The medicinal materials grown by Chengjia include honeysuckle, honeysuckle, forsythia, isatis root, Houttuynia cordata, ginseng, heterophylla, jujube, wolfberry, walnut kernel, salvia, mung bean, astragalus, lily, artemisia annua, fleece-flower root, longan, and eucommia
, licorice, pinellia, platycodon, ginkgo, ephedra, saposhnikovia, reed root, root bark, bamboo leaves, chrysanthemum, patchouli, morinda, citrus aurantium, prunella vulgaris, etc. Chengjia is a big drug dealer in Jizhou. Chengjia
There are countless medicinal fields and mountains, and there are hundreds of kinds of medicinal materials grown. Most of the medicinal materials that can be cultivated artificially are grown by every family, and the scale is very large!"
"Are you saying that the medicinal materials grown by Cheng Jia are poisonous as soon as they are taken out of the ground?"
"At first I didn't believe that such a thing existed in the world, but after repeated experiments, I finally confirmed this fact!"
"How did you find out that the medicinal materials used to create a family are poisonous?"
"Since I entered the herbal medicine industry as an apprentice at the age of sixteen, I have had a habit of raising some white mice at home to test medicines. This habit was passed down to me by the master who first introduced me to the herbal medicine industry. Herbal medicine comes from the Chinese
Traditional Chinese medicine is the entry and foundation for alchemists. No matter how advanced the alchemist is, it is inseparable from this foundation. However, because there are many types of herbal medicines, some of them are toxic, especially after they are made into pharmaceutical pills. If the dosage is controlled,
If you don't make the right choice or choose the wrong variety, something will often happen, so herbal medicine apprentices will breed some small animals for testing medicine. I still retained this habit after I started a family. At first, I used white mice to test medicine.
I have kept mice as pets. It has become a habit..."
"After becoming a Xuanhu Dan pharmacist, the elixir I am best at making is a low-level Yangshen Yixue Pill. This is a very common low-level elixir for the general public, the elderly, pregnant women, and people with physical weakness.
It will be used to restore the body. The sales volume in Taixia is very large. In the established medicine shop, I am responsible for supervising and directing a pharmacy specializing in the production of Yangshen Yixue Pills. In the process of manufacturing Yangshen Yixue Pills, I
Found something wrong with Chengjia’s medicinal materials!”
After hearing what Sun Jiagu said, Zhang Tie no longer asked any questions, but listened quietly to Sun Jiagu's explanation of the cause and effect. The expression on Sun Jiagu's face became obviously complicated when he said this.
"Making Yangshen Yixue Pills requires the use of very common medicinal materials, namely walnut kernels and jujubes. There are many medicine shops selling these two items, and they are delivered every day. I am responsible for inspecting and collecting them because I have a few white mice at home.
, every day when I leave the pharmacy, I will habitually grab a handful of walnut kernels or jujubes from the warehouse of the pharmacy and feed them to the pets at home. After I worked in Chengjia Pharmacy for half a year, I kept them at home.
The first batch of six white mice died one after another..."
"I didn't pay much attention to this when it started, because the mice I kept were almost two years old. Under normal circumstances, even if there are no accidents, the life span of the mice is probably two or three years.
year, so when those white mice died, I didn’t think much about it. After those white mice died, because of habit, I bought some more white mice and raised them at home. Then, as before, I brought them from the pharmacy every day when I came home.
Bring back something the mice can eat and give it to the mice!"
"Just like that, the second batch of white mice I raised also died one by one six months after eating the things I brought from the pharmacy. After the second batch of white mice died, I still didn't think that they were from the pharmacy.
There was something wrong with the medicinal materials. I thought it might be due to other reasons, or it might be that I didn't take good care of them well or that these mice were already weak and sickly. Therefore, I raised a third batch..."
"As a result, all the mice in the third batch also died after half a year. At this time, I thought that there might be something wrong with the things I brought back, but this matter is of great importance. I am just a small pharmacy in Chengjia
Supervision, naturally I didn’t dare to speak nonsense, and I didn’t dare to tell others about the results. I just kept it in mind, and then bought the fourth batch of white mice again. When I bought the fourth batch of white mice, I didn’t want to take away the white mice.
It was divided into two parts. One part of the mice exclusively ate the walnuts and jujubes that I brought from Chengjia, which are both food and medicinal materials, while the other part of the mice only ate some grains and preserved fruits that I bought from other places.
Half a year later, the results shocked me again. The mice that exclusively ate the preserved fruits and grains I bought from other places grew very well, while the mice that exclusively ate the food I took out from Chengjia Pharmacy still grew without exception.
's death!"
"I was frightened. I didn't dare to say anything, but I repeated the same experiment twice. The results of the next two experiments were the same. This finally confirmed to me that the medicinal materials in Chengjia Pharmacy were poisonous.
Then I used work as a cover. I observed carefully and learned in detail about every link from the planting of Chengjia medicinal materials to the entry into the pharmacy. I found that there were no problems in these links. The biggest problem was in the seeds of Chengjia medicinal materials. These medicinal materials
, they are poisonous from the moment they are grown, but you cannot tell the toxicity because these medicinal materials are all normal in appearance. There is no difference at all from other medicinal materials. Even if the most experienced pharmacist tastes it, they cannot taste it.
If there is a gap, only through long-term consumption can we confirm the hidden toxicity contained in the medicinal herbs!"
"Later, I stayed in Chengjia for several more years, carefully verifying step by step, and finally found that all artificially grown medicinal materials in Chengjia are different from natural medicinal materials and medicinal materials grown by other families, and they all have very hidden toxicity. If used for a long time,
Over time, it will be extremely toxic to the human body. The most terrifying thing is that in addition to being used to make various medicines and elixirs, the poisonous seeds of those medicinal materials are also used by Chengjia's various commercial methods.
A large amount of it was exported to the states near Jizhou and became the source of seeds for many medicinal farmers in each state who made a living by planting medicines. Those sources continued to spread in Taixia. The spread sources turned into toxic medicinal materials and were made into various elixirs.
The medicine has become poisonous all over the world..."
"What's even more terrifying is that I discovered that the 'toxicity' in the poisonous medicinal materials grown by Chengjia can also spread. If the same two medicinal materials are planted together, one side is Chengjia's medicinal materials, and the other is good medicinal materials.
Medicinal materials can be spread through pollen, and the toxicity of medicinal materials can be passed on to good medicinal materials, so that the next generation of those good medicinal materials will also become poisonous!"
"I suspect that the genes of all the traditional Chinese medicines in Chengjia have been altered and manipulated. Those medicinal materials seem to be no different from ordinary medicinal materials, but the genes of those medicinal materials have been demonized, and as long as they are planted, they will bring
Genetic pollution, this is the method of the demons and the Three-Eyed Society!"
"I'm just a small Xuanhu Dan pharmacist, and I don't have any backers or strong connections. After discovering this, I was cautious and didn't dare to tell anyone, because Chengjia is very powerful in Jizhou, and not only in Jizhou, I heard that
Even in Xuanyuan Hill, Cheng Jia has a lot of hands and eyes. If I say it casually, I am afraid that not only will it not have any effect, but my own life will be in danger. I carefully hide this secret. Just half a year ago, I found a man who left Cheng Jia.
For the reason, I planned to go to Xuanyuan Hill to complain. For the sake of the people of the world, even if I risk my life, I have to expose the big poisonous insect Cheng Jia. What I didn’t expect in the end was that my trip to Xuanyuan Hill was exposed by Cheng Jia.
I found out that Chengjia sent a killer to chase me. Fortunately, I was on guard and had some contingency measures. Chengjia’s killer didn’t catch me, but it also forced me to hide around and survive..."
"Every word of what I said above is true. If there is even half a word of lies, you can chop off my head at any time!" After saying this in one breath, Sun Jiagu looked a little excited and looked at Zhang Tie with hopeful eyes.
Zhang Tie was silent for a while, then glanced at Sun Jiagu, "Do you want me to help you deal with Chengjia?"
"Having a family will bring disaster to the world. They are definitely the lackeys of the demon clan. Shouldn't they be eradicated?" Sun Jiagu said excitedly.
"You said you came to Baohu City in October and stayed in the inn the whole time?"
"Yes, I came to Baohu City in October. Because I was worried about the killers sent by Chengjia, I spent most of my time in the inn..." Sun Jiagu was stunned for a moment, a little surprised as to why Zhang Tie asked this.
"The Chengjia family in Jizhou no longer exists. After the Wangri Incident in Xuanyuan Hill, the bloody disaster broke out in Jizhou. The Chengjia secretly established the Blood Sea Divine Pond in the family's important place to cultivate bloodmen. The incident has already occurred, and the Chengjia family has also been confiscated by the Tingwei Mansion.
All the knights who have exterminated their clans and formed a family have fled and are now wanted by Taixia Tingwei Mansion." Zhang Tie told Sun Jiagu a piece of news.
The bloody disaster in Taixia is becoming more and more intense, and the involvement is getting bigger and bigger. The more families of Tongtian Sect and Blood Soul Temple are involved in the bloody disaster, many of the news are only official in Taixia.
The superiors are reporting some news. Among Taixia folk, these news are relatively lagging behind. Zhang Tie knows more details because he is the family elder of Huaiyuantang. Sun Jiagu hid after he came to Baohu City, and the source of the news is even more blocked.
There is no way to learn first-hand information and news about the bloody disasters in Taixia Tingwei Mansion and the various states, and they thought that Cheng Jia was still arrogant and domineering in Jizhou.
Upon hearing the news about Zhang Tie, Sun Jiagu stood stunned on the spot, with his mouth wide open. His whole body suddenly became dazed and he was speechless for a long time.
"If the killer Chengjia sent to chase you is still alive, he can't save himself now and will never come to you again. You don't have to hide in the future!" Looking at Sun Jiagu's lost look, Zhang Tie comforted him warmly.
With Sun Jiagu's fighting power, the killer sent by Chengjia to hunt him down would be considered highly of Sun Jiagu if he was a ninth-level warrior. At this time, when the Chengjia tree fell and the incident came to light, it would be meaningless for the killer to pursue Sun Jiagu anymore.
The little killer himself has been wanted by the Tingwei Mansion and is on the run or has been killed. His own survival is important, so how can he care about a small Xuanhu Dan pharmacist who has worked in Chengjia.
However, what Sun Jiagu said to Zhang Tie today is still very valuable, and although this Sun Jiagu is a small Xuanhu Dan pharmacist, he is very methodical in doing things. After discovering the problem of getting married, he actually dared to go to Xuanyuan Hill to file a complaint.
, this person naturally has some generosity and righteousness in his heart, especially the latter point, which Zhang Tie especially appreciates. He is a little person, but even in this little person, he also has very valuable qualities.
"I left 1,000 gold coins in the hotel and gave it to you. If you don't want to live here and are discouraged, you can take the remaining gold coins and open a small medical clinic and pharmacy in the city, which is enough for you.
If you still want to do something, you can go to Golden Crow City and report to the Golden Crow Merchant Group!" Zhang Tie said, and with a move of his hand, he took out a high-level recovery potion that shone with strange brilliance from the space and placed it there.
On the table, "This is an advanced recovery potion that can cure all injuries on your body!"
After saying these words, Zhang Tie did not stay here any longer, but directly put on his pocket again and walked out of the hotel's courtyard...
Sun Jiagu stared blankly at the bottle of advanced recovery potion left by Zhang Tie...
…
Coming outside the hotel, the air became cold again, and there was already a hint of twilight in the somewhat gloomy sky. The coldness in the air was naturally nothing to Zhang Tie, but the coldness that Zhang Tie felt in his heart
A hint of coldness made Zhang Tie pull his hood unconsciously.
Zhang Tie looked at the sky and walked directly towards Baohu Mountain without further delay... (To be continued.)
