Chapter 201 The Way of Survival in Qizhen Pavilion
I chatted with Mr. Fan for half an afternoon.
Li Mu's heart felt a little heavy.
At this juncture, it is really inappropriate to come to see the old man.
According to Mr. Fan, his final date should actually be 96 years old.
But now thirty years have passed, and although Mr. Fan cannot be said to be in full swing, he is still living a satisfactory life, with no illness or disaster.
During this period, Fan Zeng introduced this feeling to Li Mu in detail, and made it clear that after changing his destiny against nature, there would be a hurdle every three years.
If this hurdle is overcome, then there will be no accidents and you will be able to live for another three years.
This is why Mr. Fan is so sure that Immortal Drunkenness is the key to prolonging life.
However, this time seems different from the past.
From the old man's tone, it seems that when the immortal is drunk to a certain level, the effectiveness will gradually disappear.
After all, there is no magic medicine in the world that can make people live forever.
This is simply impossible.
"Old man, please tell me if there is anything I can help you with."
Li Mu asked solemnly.
Fan Zeng waved his hand and said rather nonchalantly:
"You can't help me."
"Boy Li, I know your abilities and your capabilities, but I can't force this matter."
"Don't underestimate me, old man. My energy is no less than yours. After all, while I am alive, many people will not die. This is the unique ability of doctors. With a status like mine, although I am just an ordinary old man with no power,
It’s easy to ask for something.”
What he said is true.
Li Mu also knew that Mr. Fan did have such energy.
However, Li Mu still said:
"Then what about the 108 Tiangang Disha needles of Medicine King Sun Simiao?"
Hearing Li Mu's question, Fan Zeng suddenly fell silent. He had indeed searched for powerful gold and silver needles because of the acupuncture skills of Shenfeng Eighteen Needles.
The force used is not small, and many powerful forces have helped.
There were indeed a lot of treasured needles found. There were nearly a hundred sets collected by Fan Zeng alone. There was a story behind each set. Even the people who used these needles were famous miracle doctors at that time.
However, when it comes to acupuncture treatments, there are mixed results.
Some of the needles are famous needles from ancient times, but they are not well maintained. After years of polishing, they are no longer usable.
In some cases, the number of samples is too few, or some are missing.
Like the set brought by Li Mu, it is not only well-preserved, but also has a complete range of types. This is the first time Fan Zeng has received it.
"I am indeed missing some medicine now, but it is not irreplaceable."
"I have used several other drugs with similar efficacy. Although the efficacy has been compromised, the problem should not be major."
Li Mu heard this and asked directly:
"What kind of drug is it?"
Fan Zeng said bluntly:
"Golden Stork."
The two chatted for a while, and Li Mu took the acupuncture classics given by Mr. Fan and returned to his room.
Lying on the clean and tidy big bed, Li Mu thought for a moment and dialed the number of Shopkeeper Su of Qizhen Pavilion.
The phone was quickly connected, and Su Daji's charming voice came again:
"Oops, I called again so soon."
"What? Do you miss me? Enemies."
Li Mu has always had trouble with the shopkeeper of the Qizhen Pavilion. Although she doesn't look serious, she always likes to tease Li Mu. However, if we talk about the masters of poison in China, there must be a ranking.
Then Shopkeeper Su of Qizhen Pavilion will definitely be ranked among the top three.
Li Mu would not dare to provoke this kind of evil star often, but this time he had something serious to do, so he solemnly said:
"Sister Su, I want to ask you about a medicine called golden stork. Do you have it somewhere?"
"It's really strange to say that for a medicine that has been extinct for thousands of years, people have been asking about it frequently recently."
Li Mu was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that someone actually inquired about Mr. Fan, and that he could actually find an extremely shady organization like Qizhen Pavilion.
If we say that Li Mu's Dragon Territory mainly operates overseas, most of the jobs it takes are mercenaries, occupying unclaimed lands, helping some temporary organizations stabilize their status, etc.
Then the business of Qizhen Pavilion is much darker.
Selling rare treasures is only one aspect. The things involved include ancient poisons, things with various effects, and even people.
As long as the price is reasonable, you can buy anything in Qizhen Pavilion.
Even if it's Li Mu's head, as long as Qizhen Pavilion is given a satisfactory price, they will take action without hesitation.
However, that is a sky-high price.
Unimaginably high price.
This kind of organization has a history that has been passed down for thousands of years. It is hidden in the darkness and is as unpredictable as the black night sky.
Hearing Shopkeeper Su's answer, Li Mu frowned and said:
"No?"
"Of course, the last one should have been sold in the Ming Dynasty. This medicine is of great use and is used in many lost elixirs. It is a very good precious medicinal herb."
Shopkeeper Su's words made Li Mu feel a little discouraged.
Seeing that Li Mu was silent, Shopkeeper Su spoke again:
"There's no golden stork."
"However, our Qizhen Pavilion has kept a lot of the seeds of this herb."
"In fact, our Qizhen Pavilion likes to do this kind of thing. Whenever a valuable herbal medicine is about to become extinct, the Pavilion will consciously collect it in large quantities."
"This is the way to survive in our Qizhen Pavilion. You should know it."
Li Mu heard this and said a little surprised:
"Then why don't you cultivate it?"
Shopkeeper Su on the other end of the phone shrugged. She was lazily leaning on a Ming Dynasty imperial concubine's couch today, holding a pipe pot in her hand. She took a puff while looking at the huge screen not far away boredly.
Modern dramas aired on the Internet are boring to pass the time.
Upon hearing Li Mu's question, Shopkeeper Su said casually:
"If wild herbs are well cultivated, how can they be so easily extinct?"
"Furthermore, things are rare and valuable. We at Qizhen Pavilion hope that only our family can find all the precious items in the world. That is the most profitable."
"The same goes for the golden stork seed. We don't care at all whether it can be cultivated or not. People who come to ask about the price even say directly that there is no such thing. Only people like you have a deep enough relationship with each other and can help us.
The guy at Qizhen Pavilion who has done a lot of things will tell you this."
Li Mu was not a fool. When the other party talked to this extent, he understood that this thing could never be bought with money.
So, Li Mu asked casually, seemingly unintentionally:
"Tell me, what do you need me to do to get this thing?"
"It's easy to chat with smart people. Your Dragon Territory has the strength and resources. We will definitely be very happy doing this business."
