Chapter 286: Many treasures, great prestige [Subscription required]
In the afternoon, the atmosphere in the study was quiet.
Cao Cao tried to send out a ray of luck and merge it into the fruit of the sacred tree in front of him.
The fruit exuded a mysterious yellow light that was visible to the naked eye. There was a phantom of a little Qilin, bathing in the mysterious yellow, and it became clearer and clearer.
The spiritual light from the fruit blossoming even rushed out of the study.
The entire Cao Mansion was shrouded in a auspicious light.
The flowers and trees in the mansion are in full bloom, blooming especially beautifully.
This wisp of spiritual energy alone caused the whole yard to be filled with clusters of flowers and fragrance of plants.
Such a big commotion even surprised Cao Cao.
Lian Yin and Rui were also led over and leaned out of the window to look into the house.
On the corridor, Guo Jia walked in with Xi Zhicai, following Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing. His eyes were immediately attracted by the fruit of the sacred tree.
The tiny phantom of a Qilin was on the table in front of Cao Cao. It raised its four hooves and auspicious clouds gathered under its feet, creating an infinitely magical effect.
"Is this the fruit of the innate sacred tree that produced a fetal spirit?"
Zhang Zhongjing and Hua Tuo were quite connoisseurs and could tell the origin of the fruit of the sacred tree at a glance.
With their skills in cultivating their Qi, they couldn't help but widen their eyes.
"I have read a description in Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica that says there are spiritual roots in ancient times that can gather the spirituality of heaven and earth and are top-grade immortal objects."
Zhang Zhongjing: "However, after the founding of the dynasty and the unification of humanity, such miracles disappeared from the world. How can we see them now?"
He was a little bit unbelieving, and he and Hua Tuo moved forward to take a closer look.
Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai were even more stunned.
The Qilin ran on the table for a while, then suddenly stopped and spewed out a flame.
"How wonderful, using wood to create fire. The spirituality has reached its peak, and the spiritual fruit will fall naturally when it is ripe."
Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing both stretched out their hands and made gestures of request.
A scent of herbal medicine emanated from the hands of both of them.
The phantom of the Qilin was very smart. It ran to the hands of the two and sniffed them, and never came down again.
"King Wei, this thing falls off its mother tree. Its spirituality is at its best within forty-nine days, and can last until eighty-one days. After the great number of ninety-nine, it will disperse into heaven and earth. If King Wei wants to use it, it is best within this period," said Zhang Zhongjing.
“How to use it for the best effect?”
"With the help of a variety of good medicines, you can refine and transform the spirituality of this Qilin wood to obtain a great elixir with the best effect."
"How many can I get?"
"Two or three, three or four, four or five, all are possible."
Hua Tuo continued:
"It is possible that there are more. Refining such spiritual objects will see if the opportunity is right;
The second is to see how well the refiner controls the temperature, including his knowledge of pharmacology. Whether he can grasp the timing and add other auxiliary medicines at the right time. "
"Third, check whether the doctor who made the medicine has sufficient reserves of auxiliary medicines and whether the medicines are of high quality."
Cao Cao laughed and said, "So the two of you must be top-grade without a doubt."
Chinese medicine practitioners are familiar with the properties of medicines.
And the two in front of us are the best among them.
Zhang Zhongjing specialized in treating colds with internal regulation and was an expert at refining medicine.
Although Hua Tuo was good at external treatment, he was able to research and formulate anesthetics for surgical anesthesia in his time, which shows how thorough his understanding of pharmacology was.
Both of them are great founders of their own schools.
Hua Tuo assisted Zhang Zhongjing, which was a powerful combination.
"Since the creation of the world, there are records in the classics that Qi Bo, Huang Di, Bian Que, Shen Nong and three or five others have stood at the top of medicine. When it comes to refining medicine, Shen Nong is the best, tasting hundreds of herbs and grasping the power of heaven and earth.
He has rich experience in refining medicine, and there were many spiritual objects in the ancient times, which is incomparable now. The rest of me is mediocre. "
What Hua Tuo meant was that Shennong was unique in refining medicine.
Below we can count him and Zhang Zhongjing at the same level.
This medicine is just right for them to make.
“How long will it take to produce a good medicine?”
"It will take some preparation, about half a month, to put the medicine into the furnace, and it will be ready in a hundred days at most."
"What are the benefits of the medicine obtained?"
“Although it is called the elixir of longevity, no one has ever been able to achieve immortality. However, taking this medicine can easily extend one’s lifespan by more than ten years.
In addition, it can generate blood and flesh, cure hidden diseases, and make bones whiter.”
Hua Tuo pointed at Guo Jia next to him:
"For a deficiency like his, a large pill can cure it and strengthen the health of several people."
Guo Jia took a step back, letting Zhicai step forward without making a sound. He could not help but ask, "Then you are not weak anymore?"
"Still weak." Hua Tuo said.
Fuck... then this medicine is useless to me, Guo Jia rolled his eyes.
Hua Tuo said: "I am giving an example. This medicine is not mainly used to treat deficiency, but it is also very beneficial to you."
Guo Jia: "I want to ask you a favor. Next time when you give an example, can you use Zhicai instead of just staring at me?"
Xi Zhicai was struck by lightning and looked back at Guo Jia in disbelief.
"The biggest benefit of this medicine is that it replenishes qi and blood and prolongs life."
"This is what the emperors of ancient times dreamed of. If you get it, you will be as vigorous as a dragon and a tiger, your energy will never decline, and when you are sixty or seventy, you will still look like twenty or thirty, and you will be able to walk as fast as the wind, and your body will not suffer from aging. This is the effect of this kind of medicine."
It turns out that it can maintain beauty and protect against all diseases. An eighty-year-old man can still be a groom and never get tired of fighting.
Cao Cao nodded and said:
"Then practice. If you need anything, just let me know. I will fully support you."
"After refining, the sick ones can also borrow the light. And the tomb raiders who are injured while taking the medicine can also share the pills. They should be able to recover from the injuries."
Li Wufang was stunned.
Just now, Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing said that the resurrection of human flesh and bones could cure serious diseases caused by deficiency of Qi and blood, and he had an idea.
After he became disabled in his legs, his qi and blood circulation were poor and he had many problems.
This medicine is of great use to him.
But he is a working man and knows his position.
It was obvious that he had no chance of getting this kind of immortal item. He had never expected that the King of Wei would be willing to share such a precious spiritual item with the two of them.
Ling Jin and Li Wufang were both shocked and stood up to perform the ceremony.
"Zhicai, Fengxiao, you two met Zhongjing and Yuanhua, so it's a good opportunity to have a follow-up consultation."
"You have been receiving treatment for more than two years. Let's see how effective it is," said Cao Cao.
"Zhicai, you go first."
Guo Jialai regretted it, but seeing that he couldn't escape, he let Xi Zhicai go first.
"No, I am older than you, so I should give way to the younger and serve you first."
Both of them wanted the other to go first, and then they would observe.
"You two take one each, and then take turns." Dian Wei and Xu Chu were watching the fun at the door and offering suggestions.
Guo Jia suddenly took the lead and sat next to Zhang Zhongjing.
In comparison, he felt that Zhang Zhongjing was not as straightforward and sharp-tongued as Hua Tuo, and was more subtle.
Just seeing a doctor, all he did was to be cunning... Cao Cao laughed secretly.
Xi Zhicai had no choice but to sit in front of Hua Tuo.
Zhang Zhongjing and Hua Tuo both reached out their hands, took the patient's pulse, closed their eyes for a moment, and then opened their eyes again.
Hua Tuo said first: "Zhicai has recovered well. His symptoms and body are weak, and the treatment has been effective. He has obviously followed the doctor's advice. However, his body is weak and his headache is caused by years of excessive worry. It is a chronic disease and he needs to take medicine for a while before he can recover."
Xi Zhicai was overjoyed and his eyes lit up.
Guo Jia was stunned for a moment. Zhicai had hope of recovery. Now that he was well, what should I do?
He looked at Zhang Zhongjing.
Zhang Zhongjing asked, "Did you not take your medicine on time?"
It’s all over... Upon hearing the beginning, Guo Jia felt disappointed, thinking that nothing good would come out of it.
And he really didn't take his medicine on time, that's just his personality.
In the past two years, he has been going out to flirt with women for no reason, without stopping.
When he took medicine, he never left the medicine bottle, but when he felt it was working, he would slack off for a while and take the medicine again when he remembered.
"Have you followed the doctor's advice recently to go to bed early, not drink alcohol, and stay away from women?" Zhang Zhongjing asked.
Guo Jia said sternly, "I followed the doctor's advice, went to bed early, didn't drink, and didn't get close to women. I have been doing this for two years."
Zhang Zhongjing said, "King Wei, can you please ask the others to step aside for a moment? I have something to say."
Xi Zhicai asked with a smile: "What happened to him?"
Zhang Zhongjing: "Telling lies with open eyes."
Phew...Xi Zhicai laughed.
The others, considering Guo Jia's face, held back their laughter and left.
There were only Cao Cao, two doctors and two patients left in the room.
Zhang Zhongjing said slowly, "Fengxiao, if you continue like this, it will be terrible. You will become weaker and weaker. Premature aging is the least of your problems. You can only wait and see if you can have sex with a woman."
Guo Jia was furious:
"No way. I took my medicine on time. I feel much stronger and more energetic than before."
Zhang Zhongjing: "Look, you are still anxious. I haven't finished talking yet. It can be cured. I have come up with a new treatment that should be very effective for your symptoms."
Guo Jia immediately stopped being stubborn and said with hope on his face: "Please ask Zhongjing to save me quickly."
Cao Cao couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Okay, Fengxiao, if you still can't get treatment on time this time, I'll have someone watch you and help you quit masturbating and drinking."
He waved his hand and everyone retreated one by one.
What was left in front of Cao Cao were the elixir of immortality and the treasure left by Emperor Wu.
He planned to eat the elixir of immortality himself.
The newly refined medicine was distributed to his wives, concubines, and sickly ministers.
Cao Cao then changed his mind again and focused on the war on the grassland.
After many days, the war with the Eastern Xianbei ended.
The various units are withdrawing their troops.
There are as many as three rows of Jingguan built on the grassland.
Ten thousand heads in each row.
However, the Eastern Xianbei reacted very quickly. After learning that the troops heading south were defeated, the tribes on the northern grasslands immediately organized their troops to march south, gathering their best troops. The leader of the Eastern Xianbei alliance, Murong Tuoye, personally led the troops south to welcome the defeated troops back north.
The final result of the battle was that only Tuoboben led more than 7,000 remaining soldiers to escape back to the depths of the grassland.
In this battle, 50,000 elite Xianbei troops marched south, and their commander Tuo Boxiong was killed on the battlefield.
The rest of the troops were chased several times, and less than 10,000 people escaped, which resulted in a disastrous defeat and almost annihilation of the entire army.
The lesson this confrontation taught the Eastern Xianbei was unforgettable.
It is worth mentioning that the unlucky team trapped in the mountains was led by Murong Baizhi.
After being trapped in the mountains for a day and a night, he chose to charge.
Because there was no baggage support, if we waited any longer, we would lose the chance to charge.
The result was as expected: the entire army was wiped out.
Cao's army ambushed at the mountain pass, taking advantage of the high ground and relying on rolling stones and crossbows, they killed more than half of the Xianbei soldiers.
The other side was in a desperate situation and after being severely damaged, their morale fell to the bottom. There was no suspense at all.
However, Murong Baizhi disappeared without a trace.
Cao Cao analyzed that he might not have charged into the battle line himself, but was still hiding in the mountains and not coming out.
When the news of Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, Taishi Ci and others' great defeat of the Xianbei came back, everyone in Cao's camp was greatly encouraged. The news was spread to all directions, and the military's morale was greatly boosted.
When Cao Cao looked again through the night bird, he saw that Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun and others had returned to the camp and had reached the northern border.
He retracted his thoughts and looked back at the Emperor Wu's heirloom in front of him.
Pick up the bead that contains the heirloom, activate the Qi in the national seal, and send it into it.
The beads began to emit faint light, and spells appeared inside, twinkling like stars.
The things sealed inside appeared one by one.
Cao Cao extended his consciousness directly into it to explore the situation inside the bead.
