The Tianwen tribe, in the Baiyue Mountains, has towering ancient trees and lush greenery. The dense branches and leaves block the blazing sunlight, leaving mottled light and shadow falling on the earth.
Qingmu carried a half-man tall medicine basket woven with vines and pushed aside the branches in front of him. Now he had already penetrated deep into the Baiyue Mountains, where miasma was everywhere, poisonous substances were everywhere, and there were countless ferocious beasts, making it extremely dangerous.
However, as a pharmacist, Aoki has already prepared enough antidote pills to deal with various emergencies, and with his cultivation at the eighth level of the physical body, he is able to run unimpeded in small mountains like the Baiyue Mountains.
The reason why Aoki entered the dangerous place deep in the Baiyue Mountains to find the elixir all started with what happened half a month ago.
Since Yao Lao handed over the "Pharmacopoeia" to Qingmu, Qingmu has been traveling around the territories of various tribes in the Yuan Realm. As usual, Qingmu is either practicing martial arts or treating illnesses and injuries for the villagers in Qingshan Village. In addition, he goes into the mountains to pick some elixirs to prepare and test them. Pharmacology to create new healing formulas.
As the saying goes, true knowledge comes from practice. In this process, Aoki's martial arts cultivation has not been mentioned, but his medical skills have continued to improve. For ordinary minor injuries and illnesses, Aoki can easily help patients heal, and he is no weaker than his master. Yao Lao.
Even in the face of some difficult and complicated diseases, Aoki can use his talent and the efficacy and uses of various elixirs recorded in the "Pharmacopoeia" to prepare corresponding prescriptions to cure them.
In this way, Qingmu's reputation grew and gradually spread to the surrounding areas. Not only did the villagers of Qingshan Village come to him for treatment when they had physical problems, but the Tianwen tribe members from surrounding villages and towns were also famous.
As their illnesses were cured, Qingmu's reputation also increased. Eventually, every village and town within a hundred miles knew that there was a miracle doctor in Qingshan Village who was skilled in medicine and could save lives and injuries.
Even Aoki's appearance, which is different from ordinary Sky Run clan members, with light green and red lines intertwined, is also said to be a symbol of the extraordinary miracle doctor Qing Mu. Countless girls from the Sky Run clan admire him within a hundred miles.
After declining requests from several martial arts sects and families in Baiyue Town to make him the chief pharmacist, Aoki still stayed with his mother in a Qingshan Village, helping other tribesmen to treat illnesses and injuries, and going into the mountains from time to time to search for elixirs and prepare various kinds of medicines. He was very satisfied with the day he envisioned for the prescription.
But God did not let Qingmu continue to live like this. Half a month ago, a terrifying plague came. Death and fear enveloped the area for dozens of miles around the Baiyue Mountains, including Baiyue Town and Qingshan Village. More than a dozen villages and towns.
For this kind of plague, even some low-level warriors with abundant vitality and blood cannot resist and will be infected with the plague. At most, the stronger the cultivation level, the stronger the resistance, and the less likely to be infected by the plague.
Once infected with the plague, the infected person will suffer endless pain and die ten days later. Countless Tianwen tribe members died from this plague in a short period of time.
Aoki is a well-known miracle doctor within a hundred miles. In the first few days of the plague outbreak, many infected people came to Qingshan Village under the leadership of their relatives and friends to seek help from Aoki.
But in the face of this sudden and terrifying plague, Aoki was equally helpless. His medical skills could at best help the infected people reduce their suffering, but he still could not cure them.
Seeing the first batch of infected people lying on the hospital bed, wailing in pain, and then dying, Aoki felt powerless in his heart. He finally felt that his medical skills were not omnipotent, and there were countless diseases in the world that he could not cure.
But he still did not give up on finding a cure for the plague. The plague was spreading, and more and more Tianwen people were infected with the plague. If a cure was not found, it was unknown how many more people would die.
Aoki continued to use various elixirs to prepare new prescriptions and make pills, but they had no effect at all.
"These elixirs are of too low a level and cannot cure the plague at all. There are higher-level elixirs deep in the Baiyue Mountains. If you use the elixirs there to make pills, you might be able to cure the plague!"
In this way, in order to cure the many Tianwen people in Baiyue Town, Qingshan Village and other villages and towns, Qingmu went all the way into the depths of the Baiyue Mountains, picked various high-grade elixirs, and found a way to cure the plague.
…
boom!
A palm slapped on the head of a ferocious beast. The powerful force shattered the hard bones and brain of the ferocious beast, and blood flowed out from the five orifices.
With calm eyes, Aoki put aside the corpse of the ferocious beast, bent down and picked several ice-blue eight-petal crystal flowers using a special technique.
Aoki looked at the elixir in his hand and murmured to himself: "In addition, these elixirs can be used to prepare the prescription I imagined before, but I don't know if its efficacy can cure the plague."
Thinking of this, Aoki perked up and looked at the corpse of the ferocious beast on the ground that exuded a strong smell of blood. He moved in one direction, looking for a safe place far away from here to refine the pills.
Half an hour later, Aoki found a hidden cave where a ferocious beast lived. After killing the ferocious beast and leaving no bloody smell to attract other ferocious beasts, Aoki took out several elixirs picked from the medicine basket one by one. .
Taking a deep breath, getting rid of the distracting thoughts in his mind, and returning his condition to its peak, Aoki narrowed his eyes slightly and prepared to prepare pills according to the envisioned prescription.
Unlike other pharmacists who mix different elixirs together in different proportions, grind them into powder in a mortar with a pestle, and then make pills through a series of methods, Aoki's method of making pills is unique.
Aoki took out a copper stove about the size of his head and placed it in front of him. He lit a few pieces of wood and put them into the bottom of the copper stove. The hot flames rose and the temperature of the copper stove gradually increased.
Feeling that the copper furnace had reached sufficient temperature, Aoki picked up a purple mist grass and threw it into the copper furnace. The hot flames instantly devoured it. The purple mist grass became smaller at a speed visible to the naked eye, but at the same time, it became smaller drop by drop. The medicinal liquid containing spiritual energy was extracted, and it shimmered with spiritual light.
Just when the liquid medicine was about to continue to shrink and evaporate in the flames, Aoki slapped the hot copper furnace with his palm. With just the right force, the medicine liquid transformed by the Purple Mist Grass was shaken out of the copper furnace and fell into the jade bottle that had been prepared. middle.
After that, Aoki followed the same method and refined the remaining elixirs including the eight-petal crystal flower one by one into liquid medicine and put it into the jade bottle.
Exhaling slowly, Aoki's eyes flashed with a hint of fatigue. It was obvious that he had consumed a lot of energy in the process of refining the medicinal solution in less than an hour.
Aoki said with emotion: "The method of refining medicinal pills that the teacher taught me is indeed not something that ordinary people can use. The refining process requires the pharmacist to have sensitive perception to sense when the medicinal liquid appears, and to have enough strength to convert the medicine into pills." Take out the liquid in time to prevent it from being evaporated by the flame."
Looking at the still burning copper furnace and the jade bottles collecting medicinal liquid around it, Aoki regained his energy and prepared to actually make the pills.
