Prime Minister Liang came to the courtyard of Divine Doctor Zhao and said to Divine Doctor Zhao Ming, his apprentice: "Master Zhao, has the Divine Doctor had his meal?"
"Your Excellency the Prime Minister, the master has already had his meal."
Prime Minister Liang nodded and said, "I have an urgent matter to find a miracle doctor. Please inform Master Zhao."
"Yes!" Zhao Ming walked to the doctor's room and knocked on the door: "Master, Prime Minister Liang has something urgent to discuss with you."
An old but still vigorous voice came from the room: "Please let him in."
Zhao Ming pushed open the door and said to Prime Minister Liang: "Prime Minister, Master wants to see you!"
When Prime Minister Liang walked in, Zhao Ming closed the door to prevent the cold wind from entering.
"Please take a seat, Prime Minister." Doctor Zhao put down the medical book in his hand and poured a cup of tea for Prime Minister Liang.
He made this tea himself, using many medicinal herbs as auxiliary ingredients. Drinking more of it can prolong one's life. Apart from giving one or two kilograms of it to the king of Zhao, he was reluctant to give any to anyone else.
Prime Minister Liang also knew the benefits of this tea. If it were normal, he would have already drunk it, but at this moment he had no mood to drink it. He couldn't wait to say, "Master Divine Doctor, I have the Heart Protecting Herb!"
Doctor Zhao was drinking tea. He spat out a mouthful of tea when he heard this. He quickly put down the tea bowl and said, "How is this possible?!"
The heart-protecting grass had long been extinct. Three generations of people from the Zhao State traveled to many countries but could not find a single one.
Prime Minister Liang said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince conquered your country's Jiangdu City and broke Qi Xiongshan's formation. I found it on Qi Xiongshan!"
Doctor Zhao was extremely surprised when he heard this: "Break Qi Xiongshan's formation? This is even more impossible!"
That is an ancient formation!
The ancient formation masters left behind, and people only know how to pass through Qixiong Mountain, but as for other places in Qixiong Mountain, countless famous formation masters from various countries have tried to break the formation over the past few hundred years, but none of them succeeded!
The Crown Prince of Chu was just a kid who hadn't even grown all his hair yet, how could he possibly break the formation
"There's nothing wrong with this. Someone from the border sent me a letter via carrier pigeon!"
Doctor Zhao was silent.
Qixiong Mountain has been protected by formations for hundreds or even thousands of years. It is very likely that there are heart-protecting grass, or even soul-soothing grass, flesh-growing grass, and jade-bone grass in it!
After all, the ancestor of the Zhao family also found these four magical herbs in the Qixiong Mountains and refined the four magical pills.
Thinking of this, he looked at Prime Minister Liang and said, "Prime Minister, if you can find the Heart-Protecting Grass and the Soul-Calming Grass, the young master can definitely be saved!"
Prime Minister Liang said, "I have figured out a way to get the Soul-Calming Grass and the Heart-Protecting Grass from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. These days I noticed that there are two groups of people who want to get the four magic pills in the hands of the Divine Doctor. I secretly checked and found that one of them is the people of the Crown Prince of Chu. If the Divine Doctor is willing to take out those magic pills in exchange, he will definitely be able to get the Soul-Calming Grass and the Heart-Protecting Grass back!"
Didn't Doctor Zhao say that the elixir had lost its efficacy? It was not a loss to exchange the elixir that was about to lose its efficacy and even moldy for the extinct magic herb.
As for the other force, it was from the side of the King of Jin. It was said that the King of Jin spared no expense to borrow those magic medicines and a firefly fruit to have a look, and the other party only borrowed them to let the princess have a look and then returned them.
He also heard that the King of Jin finally had a princess! She was a princess who had been stranded abroad many years ago, and the State of Jin was preparing to establish a queen.
I don't know who the princess is? But I can find her! This kind of thing is not uncommon in the royal family, but it is rare to find her.
However, Prime Minister Liang just listened to this matter and didn't care about it, so he didn't tell Doctor Zhao.
Upon hearing this, Doctor Zhao felt a little reluctant.
Because even with the Heart-Protecting Grass and the Soul-Calming Grass, he was not completely sure that he could refine the Heart-Nourishing Pill and the Soul-Calming Pill.
However, these magic pills really have no medicinal effect. Although they are preserved in the thousand-year-old black ice, they can only be preserved for a hundred years. After a hundred years, the medicinal effect will be lost a little every year. Now it has been nearly two hundred years, and the medicinal effect is almost gone!
He weighed the matter in his mind and decided to change it!
He was 50% sure that he could refine it successfully. If he could refine the Heart Protecting Pill and the Soul Restoring Pill, then his achievements in medical skills would be comparable to those of his great master!
"Let's exchange it over there! But tell the people over there that the Heart Protection Grass and Soul Soothing Grass can only be exchanged for the Heart Protection Pill and Soul Soothing Pill."
"Okay!" Prime Minister Liang responded and left immediately, arranging for the steward to negotiate with Chu Tiankuo's people.
He knew why Chu Tiankuo needed the Soul-Calming Pill, and he also heard that Chu Tiankuo had been unable to sleep without the Soul-Calming Grass for years.

Two days later, the steward replied, "Master, the people over there said they won't exchange it. If it's not for the Four Great Divine Pills, they won't exchange it! They even asked to borrow Doctor Zhao's Firefly Fruit to have a look. They said that the people over there found a few fruits, one of which they're not sure is the Firefly Fruit, so they want to see the Firefly Fruit in Doctor Zhao's hand! Moreover, from the tone of the people over there, they said that if they don't exchange it now, they may not need to exchange it soon. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince brought back several Soul-Returning Grasses this time, and he plans to ask the imperial physician to try to refine the Soul-Restoring Pill. He also said with a hint of pride that the Crown Prince found many rare medicinal materials in Qixiong Mountain this time! Who knows if he can find Muscle-Regenerating Grass and Bone-Nourishing Grass in Qixiong Mountain."
Prime Minister Liang frowned upon hearing this, and for a moment he didn't know how much truth there was in this statement.
However, he knew that Dr. Zhao really wanted to change, so Prime Minister Liang told Dr. Zhao these words.
Of course, he modified the wording, which made Doctor Zhao want to change even more.
Doctor Zhao was surprised after hearing this: "We found the four great divine fruits, and several soul-soothing herbs?"
The four magical herbs correspond to the four magical fruits.
Of the four magical fruits, only the Firefly Fruit has become extinct. It has been missing since more than fifty years ago. However, the divine doctor's family still preserved five of the Firefly Fruits. Of course, outsiders don't know about this and only know that one has been preserved.
The other three kinds of magical fruits are found in the Divine Doctor Valley, but they only bear fruit once every hundred years, so they are very rare.
Prime Minister Liang nodded and said, "From what he said, the eldest prince has arranged for people to search for various rare medicinal herbs in the Qixiong Mountains. He also said that good news is reported back every few days. Several plants of the Soul-Calming Grass have been found. They are very confident that they can find all four divine herbs and let the doctors of the Imperial Hospital try to refine the four divine pills!"
Doctor Zhao sneered upon hearing this: "Are the four great divine herbs so easy to find? Even if I find them, I cannot guarantee that I can refine them! Others don't even know the complete recipe, how can they refine them! They are just trying to cheat me out of the few divine pills and firefly fruits!"
Prime Minister Liang nodded: "I think so too. Do you still plan to change the doctor?"
Doctor Zhao thought about it. Although he knew that the other party was most likely deceiving him, he still weighed the pros and cons and said, "Exchange, but I want three Soul-Calming Grasses and two Heart-Protecting Grasses! If they find Muscle-Growing Grass and Bone-Nourishing Grass, they must give me one, and then I will give them a Firefly Fruit. I will only exchange if they agree!"
