Medical Master Chapter 926 - Expensive Medicinal Herbs!

Chapter 926 Expensive Medicinal Herbs!

After receiving Xu Miaolin’s text message, Fang Qiu then knew that what he referred to was a place that supplied medicinal herbs picked while people strictly followed the ancient prescriptions. It was located in a Flower and Bird Market.

Without hesitation, he immediately rushed to the capital.

Following the address given by Xu Miaolin, Fang Qiu arrived at a relatively old Flower and Bird Market in the suburbs of the capital.

Given that it was in the suburbs of the city, the Flower and Bird Market was not as lively as imagined. There were no noisy sounds of animals or the smell of pet feces in it.

As Fang Qiu entered the market, he found it extremely quiet and relaxing.

There were plenty of shops there. However, those were no pet stores like the popular ones nowadays. Instead, most of the stores sold flowers, plants, antiques, wood, and stones.

He walked all the way to the innermost part of the Flower and Bird Market.

Fang Qiu saw an antique building.

It was a courtyard.

There was a rockery with flowers, gra.s.s, and a clear pool in the yard.

A one-meter-high wall surrounded the courtyard. The main entrance was a round-arched gate. There was a path leading from the gate to the door of the ancient building in the yard.

“Ancient Workshop!” Walking on the path, Fang Qiu looked up and saw a plaque with gold lettering on a red background hanging on the door of the ancient building.

This was where Xu Miaolin asked him to come.

He walked into the hall of the ancient building.

Fang Qiu turned his head and swept around. He found that the furnis.h.i.+ngs in the hall of the ancient building were like regular Chinese Medicine pharmacies, but there was no strong smell of Chinese herbs. Instead, there was a faint fragrance.

As he looked towards the counter, a young man was sitting in front of the counter, reading a book intently at the moment.

Fang Qiu walked up to have a look.

The book the young man was reading was actually Chinese Medicine in Human Body.

“h.e.l.lo, what do you need?” Asked the young man as he raised his head and glanced at Fang Qiu who was wearing a mask.

“I want some herbs which only grow at specific times.” Without delay, Fang Qiu took out a piece of paper from his trouser pocket and handed it to the young man.

The young man stood up.

He pressed the book with a square paperweight on the counter, then took the paper handed over by Fang Qiu. After looking at it carefully, he suddenly raised his head and said with a smile to Fang Qiu, “Is this the Holy Flowers Formula? Are you going to give it to your girlfriend?”

Fang Qiu was stunned.

He didn’t expect this young man to know the formula.

It seemed that this small place was also full of unknown talents!

“Let me remind you. This formula sounds good, but it’s actually useless.”

The young man curled his lips and kindly reminded him.

As soon as he said that, Fang Qiu was stunned again.

It was obvious that this young man had tried this formula before.

However, it was normal that he thought this formula was useless because it wouldn’t work if made from ordinary medicinal herbs.

But the young man didn’t delay any longer. As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately went to get the herbs for Fang Qiu.

“All right,” After a while, the young man took all the herbs and said, “these herbs I got were strictly followed the Holy Flowers Formula. The weight is also based on the amount you wrote. Check if the weight is right.”

“How much is it?” Fang Qiu took a glance and asked the price after confirming the weight.

Before he came here, he had already made a plan.

Because the Tianshan Snow Lotus contained the Qi of Heaven and Earth, it was possible that he could achieve the effect that the Holy Flowers Formula described even without the herbs which only grew at specific times. Therefore, Fang Qiu planned to buy the amount that one set of the drug needed first, and then buy some herbs which didn’t need to grow at certain times. He would take them back and process them at the same time, see the efficacy of the medicine, and then make a decision.

“15,000,” said the young man.

Fang Qiu was shocked when he heard that.

This price was far higher than that of ordinary herbs.

“These are herbs which only grow at specific times. There is only a certain amount every year. And they are only sold at certain times every year. This price is not expensive. Besides, the amount you need is too much,” the young man said blandly.

It seemed that he was sure that Fang Qiu would take the herbs, so he didn’t intend to put them away. Instead, they sat down directly and continued reading.

“That’s right. The herbs that took so much effort to get are worth such a price!” Fang Qiu exclaimed, paid for it, and then left.

The young man also bowed to greet him leaving.

Fang Qiu walked out of the ancient building.

“It’s too expensive. If all the drugs are produced according to this quality, the cost will be too high. Moreover, the number of herbs that grow at certain times is limited. I can’t collect too much even if I want to.”

With this in mind, he walked out of the Flower and Bird Market and went to an ordinary medicinal herbs market. He bought all kinds of ordinary flowers there and all the herbs needed for the second formula before returning to Beijiang.

At the cultivation base in Beijiang, as soon as he came back, Fang Qiu immediately took some snow lotuses, walked into the pharmacy, and began to process the medicine.

The first thing was the Holy Flowers Formula!

Two sets of medicine were made at the same time. One set was made from ordinary medicinal herbs and Tianshan Snow Lotus. The other set was made according to the requirements of the ancient prescription with Tianshan Snow Lotus.

If it was a normal process of producing drugs, it would take at least a few days to complete it.

But Fang Qiu had internal Qi.

With the help of his internal Qi, he finished making the two sets of drugs in a very short time.

“I hope the efficacy will be the same.”

After Fang Qiu finished making the drugs, he took them with warm water.

At the same time, he immediately closed his eyes and used Insight to observe how the drug worked in his body, carefully feeling the efficacy of the drug.

The first one was the Holy Flowers Formula which he made by strictly following the ancient prescription.

After taking it, Fang Qiu found that the effect of this prescription was exceptional, which was like what was described in the ancient prescription.

After using his internal Qi to fully process the efficacy of the first drug, Fang Qiu took the second one with warm water, which was made from ordinary herbs.

It turned out that the efficacy of the two drugs was almost the same.

“It really is the same!” This outcome surprised Fang Qiu.

“It seems that the Tianshan Snow Lotus with Qi of Heaven and Earth is really effective!”

Undoubtedly, since the two sets of drugs had the same effect, Fang Qiu didn’t have to worry about the medicinal herbs that only grew at specific times. He could directly use ordinary medicinal herbs!

After confirming the first formula, Fang Qiu immediately began to make the second drug—Fine Jade Paste!

This time, because he only needed to make one set, Fang Qiu could completely focus on one thing. He quickly made the Fine Jade Paste and then took it to observe the efficacy.

As expected, the Tianshan Snow Lotus, which contained the Qi of Heaven and Earth, indeed provided a very good foundation for the Fine Jade Paste. It made the effect of the Fine Jade Paste much better than described in the ancient prescription.

“Done.” After testing all the drugs, Fang Qiu was greatly relieved.

Just as he was about to give the two drugs to He Xue, Fang Qiu suddenly thought of what she had said before.

“I also need a formula with Desert Cistanche as the main herb!” Fang Qiu was well aware that the reason why He Xue asked for this was that she wanted to enhance her bargaining chip.

Therefore, Fang Qiu had to carefully select this formula.

Fang Qiu stayed in the pharmacy and pondered for a long time before he ultimately found a suitable formula—All Nouris.h.i.+ng Essence Pill!

The formula was made from Schisandra, Cooked Rehmannia, Duzhong, Desert Cistanche, Chinese Yam, Achyranthes Bidentata, Alisma Plantago, Poria Coccus, Cornus, Polygala Tenuifolia, Halloysitum Rubrum, s.e.m.e.n Platycladi, and Gypsum Fibrosum.

It could nourish kidney essence, strengthen body resistance, and cultivate the spirit. It was suitable for people suffering from deficiency of blood essence, weak const.i.tution, and weak kidney to take it constantly. If people practicing Kung Fu took it for a long time, they could surely replenish their internal Qi, become energetic, and improve their kung fu.

The reason why Fang Qiu chose this formula was that he had carefully considered that this formula had no side effects at all. Moreover, if drugs were made according to this formula, the efficacy would definitely be better than that of the Life-prolonging Earth Pill and Trillium Root-Securing Pill.

There was another very important point.

It was because this pill seemed to be very suitable for Wulin people. He could take the opportunity to make some for He Gaoming and the others. Maybe it could help them enhance their strength.

He started to make it as soon as he decided.

Fang Qiu immediately found the medicinal herbs and began to process the drug.

Soon, he finished processing the drug.

As before, he took it directly to have a test. As a result, he found that the efficacy of this drug was truly good, and after taking it, there was indeed a trace of internal Qi added to his body.

“According to this efficacy, this kind of drug should be effective for the martial arts pract.i.tioners below the sixth cla.s.s. It’s just suitable for them.”

Fang Qiu nodded and made up his mind.

He got everything ready.

Fang Qiu took the finished products of the Holy Flowers Formula and the Fine Jade Paste and the formula of All Nouris.h.i.+ng Essence Pill back to the office and called He Xue.

“h.e.l.lo?” Soon, the call was got through.

“Everything you need is ready. I’ll wait for you in the office,” said Fang Qiu.

“Okay.” He Xue replied and then hung up.

Soon, He Xue came to the office.

“These are the two formulas we made ourselves. These are the finished products made according to the two formulas.” Without saying anything else, Fang Qiu handed the formulas directly to He Xue.

He Xue took it and had a look.

When she saw the introduction of the efficacy of the Holy Flowers Formula, she then couldn’t take her eyes off it.

“Is this efficacy real?” He Xue asked doubtfully.

“Yes.” Fang Qiu nodded with certainty.

“I have to give it a try then.” Picking up the finished product of Holy Flowers Formula, He Xue gulped down a spoonful of it and took it with a cup of warm water.

“How much should I take before it works?” He Xue asked after taking the drug.

“Three times a day. 10 grams each time. It will work in about a week,” said Fang Qiu.

He Xue cheered happily and said, “Okay. If there really such an effect like it’s written on the formula, I’m willing to come to work even if you don’t give me money.”

“Okay, then I won’t give you salary anymore,” Fang Qiu replied at once.

“Humph.” He Xue rolled her eyes at Fang Qiu speechlessly.

“This is the Desert Cistanche formula I prepared for you.”

Fang Qiu then handed over the formula of the All Nouris.h.i.+ng Essence Pill and said, “This formula is more effective than the medicine that Hua Yuan is selling now, but it only improves a little.”

“Not bad. It’s very suitable.” Nodding her head in satisfaction, He Xue commented, “Fang Qiu, I didn’t expect you to be so thorough.”

After saying that, she directly wrapped up all the drugs and formulas.

“I’ll take these things for the relevant tests, including pesticide residues, heavy metal content, and so on. These are indispensable. Besides, I still need time to run an efficacy test of the drugs.” He Xue said as she put things away.

“How long will it take?” Asked Fang Qiu.

“Three to seven days,” He Xue answered casually and turned to leave.

Watching He Xue’s receding figure, Fang Qiu breathed a sigh of relief.

Now that the matter of the snow lotus had been completed, he only needed to wait for the result of He Xue’s tests. As long as there was no problem with the test, Fang Qiu could leave everything to them and let the company start operating officially.
