Encouraged by Lin SiYu, Shangguan QingXue pushed the door in.
At this time, Shangguan Qingxue asked, “An errand? What errand?”
Zhang Chu said, “To buy medicine.”
“Ah?”Shangguan Qingxue didn’t know that Zhang Chu wanted to refine pills, and she instantly looked odd, “You’re so young that you need to take pills?”
Zhang Chu, on the other hand, turned dark, “You should talk less to Lin SiYu in the future, what’s going on in your head day in and day out? I am trying to refine pills!”
“Alchemy?”Shangguan Qingxue was even more confused, “Isn’t that something that only ancient people play with? You can also refine pills?”
Zhang Chu then said, “That’s right, I’m going to use alchemy to save Lu Hongyu and Lu Yangming.”
Once Shangguan Qingxue heard this, she then understood what Zhang Chu wanted to do.
At this time, Shangguan Qingxue asked, “Then what do you need?”
“One Dan furnace and a number of medicinal herbs.”
“It’s easy to get the medicinal materials, there are a lot of Chinese medicine shops in Jinling City, just find a few. But the Dan furnace ……”
Zhang Chu thought about it, indeed, this thing, the Dan Furnace, is not very easy to find, nowadays, society, there is no Alchemist as a profession anymore, where to find a Dan Furnace?
But soon, Shangguan Qingxue’s eyes flashed, “We can go find Tang Duo.”
Zhang Chu’s heart immediately stirred, yes, Tang Duo had more resources!
Although it was unlikely that there would be a new Dan Furnace right now, some antique grade Dan Furnaces should still be able to be traded in.
At this time, Shangguan Qingxue said, “In that case, I’ll give Duo a call and ask her to inquire.”
“OK!”
Shangguan Qingxue did things thunderously and quickly communicated with Tang Duo.
At this time Shangguan Qingxue said, “Duo Duo’s side has already promised to help inquire, saying that she will give me news at the latest by night.”
“Yes.”It was fine to be a day or two late, anyway, Lv Hongyu and Lv Yangming had already adapted to eating grass.
Even, Zhang Chu felt that Lv Hongyu was quite cheerful after turning into a lamb, playing with Hot Pot Top Cow all day long, and was quite joyful.
As for Mu Yao, her body was just incredibly weak and she could not die for a while.
At this time, Shangguan Qingxue said, “Then you can write me a prescription first, I’ll have Lin SiYu go buy some herbs.”
Zhang Chu nodded, “Good.”
Then, Zhang Chu brought paper and a pen.
The Reduced Shape Pill that was refined for Lu Hongyu and Lu Yangming required quite simple medicinal herbs, all of which were common medicinal herbs, and this sort of thing was indeed left to Lin SiYu.
At this moment, Zhang Chu was sitting at a table, writing down the names of the herbs one by one already in dosage.
Behind Zhang Chu, the little sheep Lu Hongyu stretched her neck, watching Zhang Chu write.
“Honey-baked loquat leaves, half a catty.”
“Fishy Grass, half a catty.”
As Zhang Chu wrote, Lv Hongyu read, and was quite happy.
However, as she read, Lu Hongyu felt that something wasn’t quite right.
“Soil from the burnt corpse field, three catties. ……”
Lu Hongyu immediately raised an objection, “Bleh …… Zhang Chu, what the hell is this earth on the burnt corpse field?”
“A medicinal herb, don’t think too much.”Zhang Chu said.
“Burnt corpse earth is a medicinal herb???”Lv Hongyu shouted, “You’re fooling people, right?”
Zhang Chu, on the other hand, returned his hand and gave Lv Hongyu a blow to the head while lecturing, “Teaching you an uneducated, there are many types of medicinal herbs, and this Burnt Corpse Field Soil is a standard medicinal herb in the Ministry of Soil Medicinal Herbs.”
In the Compendium of Materia Medica, medicinal herbs were divided into many parts, among which there were the fire part, the water part, the earth part, and the grass part.
Most of the herbs used in normal times were taken from the Grass Part.
However, in reality, there were also many medicinal herbs within the earth section, and some of them even looked outrageous, but were essential for alchemy.
Of course, this was something that Zhang Chu had learnt after inheriting the memories of the first Dan Spirit.
At this moment, the big donkey that Lu Yangming had turned into said at once, “Mmm ah ah ah, Red Fish, Zhang Chu is right, those things are medicinal herbs.”
Zhang Chu wrote a few more herbs.
Soon, Lu Hongyu was unhappy again, “Wait, what the hell is this Dung Beetle Turning Pill again?”
Zhang Chu, on the other hand, said with a dark face, “Good boy, stay to the side, you’re a patient, patients shouldn’t look at the composition of the herbs, or else you won’t be able to eat it when it becomes a Dan in the future.”
“Bleh …… now I feel like I can’t eat it!”Lu Hongyu shouted.
Zhang Chu, on the other hand, let out a laugh, “I don’t know who ate the sheep dung ball in the first place.”
“Baa …… I’ll top you!”Lv Hongyu jumped up on his two front legs and thumped towards Zhang Chu’s back.
Thud!
The hot pot was instantly unhappy, “Woof woof woof, Lv Hongyu, if you top my grandpa again, I’ll bite you ah.”
“Come ah come ah!”Lv Hongyu put down her pout and began to play around with the hot pot.
Soon after, Zhang Chu then finished writing the prescription and handed it over to Lin SiYu.
Lin SiYu did things very neatly, and in less than two hours, Lin SiYu finished collecting the medicinal herbs that Zhang Chu needed.
At two o’clock in the afternoon, Lin SiYu got a large wooden box and opened it in front of Zhang Chu as if showing off.
“Look Zhang Chu, I even purposely asked the pharmacy owner for a medicine box, professional or not?”Lin SiYu asked.
However, once this medicine box was opened, Zhang Chu was speechless.
“Lin SiYu, are you kidding?”Zhang Chu blackened his face and looked at the box of medicinal herbs, very unhappy.
When Shangguan Qingxue saw that Zhang Chu’s expression was not right, she instantly tensed up, “Zhang Chu, what’s wrong?”
Lin SiYu was also a bit confused, “What kind of joke? I bought all the herbs here according to the prescription you gave me, if you wanted half a catty, I bought eight taels, if you wanted a catty, I bought a catty and a half, nothing more, nothing less!”
Zhang Chu swept a glance at the dozen or so herbs in the medicine box and directly kicked them over, “Rubbish! I asked you to buy herbs, not to buy a bunch of rubbish back.”
Seeing Zhang Chu kick over the medicine box, Lin SiYu was instantly scared and aggrieved, “Why? I’m buying herbs from the Snowflake Nine Halls, which is the most disciplined place in our Jinling City.”
Shangguan Qingxue also asked, “Zhang Chu, could it be that all these herbs have problems?”
Zhang Chu hummed, “These, all of them are not herbs at all, but rubbish!”
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Qingxue immediately made a face and asked Lin SiYue, “SiYue, tell me the truth, these herbs, did you buy them from the Snowflake Nine Halls or not?”
Shangguan Qingxue was afraid that something would go wrong, in fact, she explained clearly in the morning, letting Lin Siyu buy herbs, and make sure to go to the Snowflake Nine Halls.
The Snowflake Nine Hall, was the most famous and long-established pharmacy in Jinling, the owner of that shop was already over seventy years old, highly respected, and it was impossible to sell fake medicines.
Therefore, hearing Zhang Chu say that the herbs were not right, Shangguan Qingxue instantly thought that Lin SiYue might have taken the money and then run to a small pharmacy and got some random stuff to fool people.
As a result, Lin SiYu said anxiously, “Miss you believe me, these herbs, really are the herbs bought at the Snowflake Nine Halls, or the old shopkeeper personally grabbed them for me, don’t believe me let’s go and confront them.”
Shangguan Qingxue then looked towards Zhang Chu, “Zhang Chu, since you said that these herbs have problems, then let’s take a trip to the Snowflake Nine Halls?”
Zhang Chu was speechless, “What am I going to do? A seller of fake medicines, do I still need to personally go and smash his stall?”
However, Shangguan Qingxue said with a grave expression, “Zhang Chu, it’s not like that, the Snowflake Nine Hall is definitely not a place that sells fake medicines.”
“Moreover, the Snowflake Nine Halls and our Shangguan Family, also have quite a connection, the old shopkeeper of that pharmacy is surnamed Xue, he is a very prestigious old Chinese medicine practitioner, he has a very good relationship with our Shangguan Family, I don’t believe that he sells fake medicines.”
Zhang Chu saw that Shangguan Qingxue was quite concerned about this, so Zhang Chu said, “Alright then, I’ll go with you to see what’s going on.”
At this time, Lin SiYu hurriedly made her move and picked up some of the herbs that Zhang Chu had kicked over and put them back into the medicine chest.
Then, Shangguan Qingxue drove, carrying Zhang Chu and Lin SiYu, to an old medicine shop in the centre of Jinling City.
The shop was small, with the words “Snowflake Nine Halls” hanging on the lintel.
On the way here, Shangguan Qingxue also said that this Snowflake Nine Halls was quite famous in Jinling, and the old shopkeeper’s name was Xue Wannian, a very famous old Chinese doctor.
At this moment, Shangguan Qingxue carried the medicine box and pushed open the door.
In the counter, an old man was lying on the abacus, frowning and knocking on the abacus, counting.
