Long Jiu explained: "I prepared all the ingredients for elixir according to the secret recipe, and the elixir I made does have the effect of rejuvenating youth. It's obvious when you look at my appearance now, but when it comes to immortality, I'm afraid it's
It’s a bit exaggerated, I feel like something is missing.”
Wen Qingshan smiled and said: "I remember that Senior Old Ghost once said that immortality is a magic that goes against the heavens. So although Mr. Jiu has refined the elixir of immortality, if I want to be truly immortal, I should not only
It's just as simple as taking a few pills. I'm afraid there are other factors. As the saying goes, the right time, place, and people are indispensable."
"Haha, Brother Wen San is right! In fact, I don't care about immortality. After living at this age, I am tired of living and have long been indifferent to life and death."
"If that's the case, why do you still want to take the elixir of life?" I asked.
Long Jiu glanced at me and replied: "I won't hide it from you. The reason why I took this elixir of immortality was mainly out of curiosity. On the other hand, it was also to help the chief test the medicine."
"So, Mr. Jiu, you have decided to give this recipe to the chief?" Wen Qingshan asked in return.
"No! I thought about it for a long time, and the old ghost is right. This secret recipe is a secret recipe that defies heaven. If it spreads, it will bring disaster and fortune. So I did not give this secret recipe to the chief. It's just...
..." Long Jiuyu paused at this point.
Wen Qingshan hurriedly asked: "Just what?"
Long Jiu smiled: "Nothing!" He then changed the topic and said: "By the way, Brother Wen San asked me on the phone if I have those medicinal herbs. I also want to ask Brother Wen San, how many of these herbs do you want?
What’s the purpose of the medicinal materials?”
Wen Qingshan replied: "To be honest, it is a prescription that specifies these medicinal materials."
"What's the prescription?" Long Jiu asked.
Wen Qingshan pointed at me and said: "Shi Yu's uncle has cancer. He has advanced gastric cancer. An old Chinese medicine doctor prescribed a medicine. I don't know if it is effective. But now that the matter is over, we can only die."
Ma Dang is a live horse doctor, give it a try."
Long Jiu pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "Since this is an emergency, I will give these medicinal herbs to you two."
I didn't expect Long Jiu to agree so readily. I was surprised and happy, and quickly thanked him: "Then I will thank Master Jiu here for my uncle."
However, as soon as I finished speaking, Long Jiu waved his hand and said, "Don't thank me yet. I can give you the medicinal materials, but I still have a condition."
I couldn't help but be startled, and turned to look at Wen Qingshan. Wen Qingshan's face was calm, as if he had already expected that Long Jiu would put forward conditions. He smiled slightly and said: "Master Jiu is a businessman, so he will naturally not do business at a loss.
If you have any requirements, please let me know."
"Haha, the conditions are simple, as long as you two show me the prescription! I will give away those medicinal materials."
Because the secret recipe for alchemy is in my hands after all, Wen Qingshan couldn't agree. He turned to me and asked: "Shi Yu, what do you think?"
From the bottom of my heart, I don’t want to pass on the secret recipe. After all, it is a secret recipe passed down by the senior demon hunter. I was hesitating in my heart when Long Jiu said again: "In addition, I will give you the latest anti-resistance drug developed abroad.
Cancer drugs are currently unavailable on the market. Although they may not be able to completely cure Uncle Shi Yu’s cancer, they can at least stabilize his condition to a certain extent, delay his life, and buy him a little more time. You see
how?"
Long Jiu's words really spoke to my heart. What we are most worried about right now is that Uncle Zhai's condition is unstable. Once an attack occurs, even if we find all the medicinal materials and refine the resurrection pill, we may not be able to save the day. So.
, for now, controlling his condition is more important than anything else. So after hearing what Long Jiu said, I immediately agreed to his request: "Okay! That's it."
"Haha! It's so refreshing!" Long Jiu immediately turned to the fat man standing aside and said, "Ah Bao, go get the things."
The fat-headed man nodded, turned around and entered the back room. After a while, he walked out of the back room holding four flat wooden boxes of different sizes and dark red appearance.
The fat-headed man lined up the wooden boxes on the coffee table. Long Jiu spread his hands and said to Wen Qingshan and me with a smile: "Haha, in fact, I have already prepared the things for you two. You two have already prepared them."
Let’s inspect the goods.”
I couldn't wait to open the largest wooden box among them, and saw a ginseng placed inside. The main stem of this ginseng was about the thickness of two fingers, and it was densely covered with roots. At first glance, it looked like a human beard.
"Century-old wild ginseng!" I blurted out.
Long Jiu nodded and said: "This ginseng was collected from Changbai Mountain and is at least 150 years old."
I opened another wooden box and saw a lotus flower as warm as white jade inside.
"Is this the Tianshan Ice Lotus?" I raised my head and asked.
"Exactly! This Tianshan Ice Lotus is not easy to get. It can only be found in extremely cold places."
Long Jiu said, and helped me open the other two wooden boxes. They contained Poria cocos and Dendrobium officinalis respectively, and they were both of the highest quality without any damage.
I excitedly put away the wooden box and thanked him repeatedly, but Long Jiu smiled slightly and said, "Everything is here, but where is the prescription?"
"Haha, I'll write it to you now!" I said as I took out a pen and paper from my backpack. Just as I was about to start writing, Long Jiu stopped me and said, "Wait a minute! I want to see the prescription handwritten by the old Chinese doctor.
"
I couldn't find any handwritten prescriptions, so I had to say: "Master Jiu, you don't know something. The prescriptions were dictated by an old Chinese doctor and were not written down."
Long Jiu smiled slightly and said, "Then please take me to see the old Chinese medicine doctor."
I saw Long Jiu was digging into the details, and seemed determined to find out the true origin of this prescription. I felt that it was difficult to hide it from him any longer. After hesitating for a while, I had no choice but to tell him the truth: "Master Jiu, I will tell you the truth.
Come on, in fact, this prescription is the same as the elixir of immortality. They both come from the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang and are carved on the stone wall, so I just kept it in my heart and there is no handwritten prescription."
After hearing what I said, Long Jiu didn't show much surprise. On the contrary, his face was calm. A smile appeared on his lips and he said: "Actually, when Brother Wen San called me and asked about the four rare medicinal materials, I
I guessed that this is a recipe for alchemy, and I also guessed that this recipe most likely came from the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang."
Wen Qingshan smiled awkwardly and said, "I made Master Jiu laugh, but how did you know, Master Jiu?"
"Haha, because the fire cinnabar sand is obviously one of the materials for alchemy. Since you asked me about the fire cinnabar sand, I guessed that you wanted to make an elixir. Among the rare medicinal materials you asked me about, the century-old mountain
Participating in the Tianshan Ice Lotus is also a material needed to refine the elixir of immortality, so I was thinking that you might have discovered more than one secret recipe in the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang."
"Master Jiu is really thoughtful."
"Haha, then please ask Shi Yu to write down this secret recipe."
I nodded, picked up the pen and started writing. I had already memorized the secret recipe for refining the magic pill, and I finished writing it in a short time. I handed the written secret recipe to Long Jiu, who held it in his hands and read it.
After a while, he suddenly raised his head and asked: "Where are you two going to get this Dragon Song Sand?"
Wen Qingshan and I looked at each other, shook our heads and said, "Not to mention where we got it, we haven't even figured out what Longyin Sand is."
"Haha, then I will give you another piece of information for free. According to ancient book records, the so-called Dragon Yin Sand actually has nothing to do with dragons, but is the secretion of a prehistoric giant turtle."
"Prehistoric giant turtle!?" Wen Qingshan and I were both stunned.
Long Jiu nodded and said: "This prehistoric giant tortoise is actually the legendary basalt giant tortoise. It is very large. When it surfaces from the water, it looks like a small mountain from a distance."
After hearing what Long Jiu said, I immediately despaired and couldn't help but sigh: "This giant basalt turtle should have been extinct a long time ago. Where can I find Longyin Sand now!"
Unexpectedly, Long Jiu said: "That's not necessarily the case! Although this giant basalt turtle is very rare, there have been traces of it from ancient times to the present. However, the places where giant basalt turtles are found are often in the underworld deep underground.
Cold Lake.”
As soon as Long Jiu finished speaking, Wen Qingshan suddenly said: "Wait a minute, Master Jiu, did you say that this giant basalt turtle often haunts the cold underground lakes?"
Long Jiu nodded: "I think this is the reason why it is named Xuanwu."
Wen Qingshan frowned and pondered for a while, then turned around and said, "Shi Yu, maybe we have seen this giant basalt turtle before."
I couldn't help being surprised and asked quickly: "Boss Wen, when have we ever seen a giant turtle as big as a hill!?"
Wen Qingshan said: "Do you still remember that there is a secret passage leading deep underground in that evil stone tomb?"
I immediately nodded and said, "Of course I remember! There is a large underground lake down there, but I don't remember any giant turtles there, but there is an extremely huge monkey."
"Yes, there is an extremely huge mandrill in there! But do you still remember that the mandrill was scared away by something?"
Hearing what Wen Qingshan said, I immediately understood what he meant, and I couldn't help but exclaimed: "Boss Wen, do you mean that the giant basalt turtle is the one causing the huge waves in the water!?"
"I think this is very possible. If you think about it, there was a circular piece of water on the lake with a diameter of about seven or eight meters that suddenly trembled violently. I said at the time that it might be a crocodile, but the crocodile should be in the shape of a long strip, and
The body of the turtle is round. In addition, a giant footprint similar to that left by a crocodile was found on the shore. Both turtles and crocodiles are reptiles, and their footprints are very similar. Therefore, it is very likely that the footprint is actually a giant basalt
