"It's going pretty well. I've found five substitutes for the six medicinal herbs."
Upon hearing this, Dean Zhang and Professor Gu suddenly showed a hint of joy.
However, the next second, Su Ci changed the subject, "But the last medicine, the most precious medicine, was not found."
Dean Zhang and Professor Gu's smiles froze on their faces, and their faces fell in disappointment.
"What should I do?"
Dean Zhang's face was filled with anxiety.
I finally saw hope, but at this moment, wouldn’t all my previous efforts have been wasted?
Professor Gu was silent for a long time and asked in a low voice: "What kind of medicinal materials is it? Can you tell me? I know a few people who like to collect medicinal materials."
Su Ci pondered for a moment and then said the name of the medicinal material, "It's called Buddha Lotus Seed. This type of medicinal material requires a very demanding growth environment and is very fragile, so it is expensive."
"Fo Lian Zi..." Professor Gu murmured in a low voice, and then his eyes lit up, "Ci Ci, go somewhere with me."
Su Ci looked at him doubtfully, "Where?"
Professor Gu: “You’ll know once you go there.”
Su Ci pursed her lips and whispered: "Then I will inform my husband. He will probably come to pick me up later, so I asked him not to come over yet."
She took out her mobile phone, sent a message to Shen Zhiyan, and then left with Professor Gu.
Professor Gu chuckled: "It seems that you and the second master have a deep relationship."
"Of course." Su Ci raised a smile.
Professor Gu drove her to a courtyard alley in the imperial capital.
Su Ci quietly looked around. The environment here was very unique, and there was an indescribable sense of history. The houses here should be old.
Finally, Professor Gu took her to the entrance of a large courtyard house.
He knocked on the door, and soon the door was opened from the inside.
The person who opened the door was a woman about forty or fifty years old. When she saw Professor Gu, there was a hint of surprise in her eyes.
"Mom Rong, do you still remember me?"
"Remember, you are Xiao Gu, right? You haven't been here for several years." Rong's mother looked at Professor Gu with joy.
"Yes, I haven't been here for several years. It's rare that Rong Ma still remembers me. Is the old man at home?" Professor Gu smiled lightly and treated Rong Ma with great respect.
Su Ci was watching from the side, her eyes full of curiosity, but she didn't interrupt the conversation between the two of them.
Rong's mother noticed her, and a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes, "Who is this little girl?"
Professor Gu immediately introduced: "This is Su Ci. Do you remember Junior Brother Luo Wushuang? This is his favorite disciple."
Rong's mother looked at Su Ci with a surprised look on her face, her emotions suddenly became excited, "You said...that child Wushuang is still alive?"
Su Ci heard something was wrong and couldn't help but frowned, "Do you know my master?"
"It's more than just acquaintance..." The corners of Rong Ma's eyes were moist, and her eyes looking at Su Ci were a little more loving, "Stop talking at the door, you come in quickly. If the old man knows that you are coming, he will be very happy.
.”
Su Ci was even more confused now.
She followed Rong Ma and Professor Gu into the courtyard.
The courtyard is well maintained, and there is a small artificial lake in the courtyard. An old man is sitting by the lake fishing at the moment.
The posture is very lazy and casual.
Rong Ma walked over and said respectfully: "Old man, look who is coming?"
The old man slowly raised his eyes, and his eyes fell behind Rong's mother. When he saw Professor Gu, a trace of unknown meaning flashed in his eyes.
"Why are you here free?"
Professor Gu was respectful and said to the old man: "What are you talking about? You are my master, isn't it normal for me to come and see you?"
The old man snorted coldly, his expression still neither cold nor indifferent. His eyes suddenly fell on Su Ci, "Who is this? You have never brought anyone here before."
Professor Gu turned sideways and introduced to the old man: "Master, this is Su Ci, the apprentice of Junior Brother Luo Wushuang."
When he heard the name "Luo Wushuang", the old man's hand holding the fishing rod paused, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"What? Are you Luo Wushuang's apprentice?"
Su Ci nodded, "The master's name is indeed Luo Wushuang."
Before the old man could speak, Professor Gu scolded him coldly: "This is your ancestor and a leading figure in the domestic medical field, Wu Guosheng."
Su Ci's eyes widened in shock.
Wu Guosheng?
This name is very familiar to those who study medicine.
I heard that at that time, domestic medical level and technology could not compete with foreign countries, but he single-handedly won the country's first Nobel Prize in Medicine and saved tens of thousands of lives.
She didn't expect that Wu Guosheng was actually her master?
Why has the master never mentioned it?
Mr. Wu waved his hand, "Those are all false names, not worth mentioning. Little girl, you said you are Luo Wushuang's apprentice? So how have you been, your master, in these years?"
Su Ci was keenly aware that Mr. Wu's eyes were moist when he mentioned her master.
"Master... he seems reluctant to mention the past." Su Ci said in as tactful a tone as possible.
Mr. Wu was not surprised, and a hint of bitterness slowly appeared on his face, "I knew it, I knew he wouldn't forgive me. It's all my fault..."
"Master, don't mention the past things again. I brought Ci Ci here this time. Firstly, I want to tell you that Junior Brother Luo Wushuang is still alive. Secondly, I want to ask you if there is any medicinal material like Buddha Lotus Seed here."
Mr. Wu supported his knees with his hands and prepared to sit up from the stool.
Seeing this, Rong's mother quickly stepped forward to help her.
Mr. Wu waved his hand and then said to the two of them: "Come with me."
He took Professor Gu and Su Ci to a greenhouse.
Although on the surface it looks like a greenhouse for growing vegetables and fruits, there is actually something else going on inside.
The temperature and soil here have all been accurately tested.
As soon as you enter, you will feel a sense of coldness.
Although Buddha lotus seeds are called lotus seeds, they are not actually real lotus seeds, but a kind of medicinal herb that grows on the snow-capped mountains.
The environment it lives in is very harsh, and even the slightest deviation will cause it to wither.
However, it is extremely effective and is a good detoxification medicine.
Su Ci looked at the patches of Buddha lotus seeds inside and couldn't help but be stunned.
"Why are there so many Buddha lotus seeds here?" Professor Gu was equally shocked.
Mr. Wu glanced at Professor Gu, his eyes suddenly became a little misty, "I think back then, I climbed up the snow mountain several times in order to find a Buddha lotus seed. Later, I conducted a detailed study on its growth environment and conducted a simulation experiment here.
.”
Professor Gu lowered his eyes, a hint of darkness flashed under his eyes.
Su Ci said eagerly: "Mr. Wu, I know these medicinal materials are very precious. Are you willing to sell them to me? No matter how much you want."
Mr. Wu was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed heartily, "You, your temperament is so similar to that of your master... Forget it, if you want, I'll give you a few."
With a wave of his hand, the old man prepared to give away most of his life's hard work.
Just think of it as a meeting gift for your disciples.
However, Su Ci said quietly: "A few... I'm afraid it's not enough."
