Chapter 37: Thousand-Year Elixir
In the previous life, Jishidiang had lost so many lives that even Rong Xianxian, a lower-class commoner who was fleeing in panic, had heard about it.
Although no news has been released yet, judging from the time, it is already very dangerous there.
Rong Xianxian is a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine. She learned some first aid and surgical debridement and suturing while working in the emergency room of the hospital. Her specialties are traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture and stone therapy.
Unfortunately, there are no wild herbs to be found in the city. Most of the herbs sold in ordinary Chinese medicine stores are artificially cultivated herbs with very limited medicinal properties. Having seen wild herbs that absorbed spiritual energy and evolved into elixirs in the previous life, Rong Xianxian has little interest in ordinary Chinese medicine stores.
Of course, Jishidiang is an exception.
As an old store with hundreds of years of history, Jishidiang has a wild medicinal material showroom.
When Rong Xianxian and her teacher went to visit, they saw the treasure of this century-old store in the wild medicinal materials showroom, an old mountain ginseng that was a thousand years old, with a tight stem, tight bark, and a smooth body with deep wrinkles. After the teacher went back, she talked about it for several days, saying that it was a really good thing and it was an honor to just take a look at it. She didn't know who would be lucky enough to get it.
Of course, Rong Xianxian had no intention of eating the old ginseng. She wanted to come to Jishidiang to find two detoxifying herbs.
Although those two herbs are not expensive, they are very rare and are definitely not available in ordinary herbal medicine stores.
Rong Xianxian came to Jishidiang alone. Before she got close, she smelled a faint, cool and refreshing medicinal fragrance.
Jishidiang unexpectedly discovered a miraculous medicine.
It stands to reason that processed medicinal materials cannot absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Could it be...
Rong Xianxian remembered that her teacher had said that the old ginseng was not only hard to find because of its medicinal age, but most importantly, it was very well preserved, with its roots intact and its vitality still intact. It must have been maintained using a special method.
Could it be that the old ginseng absorbed spiritual energy into its body and turned into a spiritual medicine at the beginning of the great changes in heaven and earth?
If that's the case... Rong Xianxian's heart was burning with excitement, this was a thousand-year-old magical medicine...
No wonder so many people died in Jishidiang in the previous life. Attracted by the thousand-year-old elixir, this place must have become a den of monsters.
Rong Xianxian was a little nervous.
Thinking about Jiang Jie's poison and the thousand-year-old elixir, Rong Xianxian secretly encouraged herself, trying her best and acting according to circumstances.
Under the tall plaque of Jishiditang, there were several corpses lying in a mess, all of them had a big hole in their chest and their hearts were missing.
Rong Xianxian did not dare to be careless, and activated the barrier beads to hide her figure.
She didn't dare go through the main door. She had been here before and knew there was a small door at the back. She carefully went around to the small door.
"Ga ga ga" a series of rough cries, a monster with black feathers, golden hooks and iron claws, looks like a falcon, has yellow eye whites but strange red pupils, stared closely in the direction of Rong Xianxian.
Oops, she actually met a monster that could see through her actions.
Rong Xianxian didn't have time to think about it. Relying on her cultivation level of Chongmai Realm, she used all her strength to kick the small door open.
She sped up and ran towards the door. The monster slapped her fiercely with its claws. Rong Xianxian took out a piece of Lu alloy plate from her sachet and blocked it backwards. "Whoosh" Rong Xianxian was knocked away by the force of the plate, flew straight through the door and smashed into the hall of the pharmacy.
Rong Xianxian patted her clothes and got up, preparing to find a place to hide, but suddenly she remembered that she was still invisible. The monster just now was really weird. It actually... Hey, the door was open, why didn't it chase in...
Rong Xianxian was a little confused, but she immediately put the question behind her. The nose was filled with the tempting aroma of medicine, which made her feel comfortable all over, and she couldn't help but want to take it for herself.
The spacious hall was filled with a disturbing silence, as if a mute button had been pressed and there was not a single sound.
Rong Xianxian looked in the direction where the strong medicinal fragrance came from, and saw a monster with two horns on its head, two wings on its ribs, a body like a snake, and scales like a fish. Its eyes were staring coldly at a lion-like monster with long sideburns opposite it.
Even if she was not being stared at by those cold eyes, Rong Xianxian still felt cold all over and dared not move. Is this what they call pressure?
The monster that looked like the dragon in the legend just glanced at where Rong Xianxian was. It was not known whether it found nothing unusual or just ignored her. In any case, it turned its head and stared coldly at the lion-like monster.
Behind the dragon monster was the thousand-year-old ginseng, but Rong Xianxian could no longer recognize its current appearance.
This ginseng is about three times larger than before, with regenerated branches and buds, green leaves and purple flowers, and its flexible roots stretching freely in the air, swaying gently and full of spirituality.
Rong Xianxian's eyes turned red and her heart was beating fast. She took another look at the dragon monster and turned her head away rationally.
She couldn't afford to offend that dragon monster. The monster opposite was no match for the dragon monster at all. It was holding on just because it coveted the precious medicine and was hoping for a lucky break.
So many lives were lost here in the previous life. Could it be that some humans discovered this thousand-year-old elixir and tried to steal it?
It has to be said that Rong Xianxian discovered the truth by accident.
The direction where the thousand-year-old ginseng was located was the precious medicinal materials display room, but the flesh-growing vine and the poison-eliminating herb that Rong Xianxian was looking for were in an ordinary medicine cabinet.
Since there is a big Buddha here, it looks like it doesn't care about other medicinal materials as long as the elixir is not snatched away. Rong Xianxian hurriedly ran to the ordinary medicine cabinet.
The names of medicinal herbs were labeled on the outside of the medicine cabinet. Rong Xianxian quickly found the two herbs she was looking for and picked up a few that could replenish qi and blood. What was surprising was that several relatively intact herbs in the boutique display cabinet were also affected by the spiritual energy and became somewhat spiritual.
Rong Xianxian packed her things contentedly, and after thinking for a while, she decided to go out through the small door.
Although there was a strange monster at the small door that could see through the barrier beads, the situation at the big door was even more strange. After all, they had fought before with the one at the small door, so Rong Xianxian was confident that she could get rid of it.
Sure enough, after the fight, it was found that the monster did not have any special abilities, except that it had sharp claws, was stronger, and had wings, making it more agile. The truly weird thing was its eyes, which could not only see through the barrier beads, but could also interfere with Rong Xianxian's mental attacks.
Rong Xianxian originally wanted to activate the Soul-Calming Bell to capture it, but it was ineffective. This place was strange, and Jiang Jie's condition was serious, so it was not advisable to stay there for long. Rong Xianxian made up her mind not to fight anymore, so she practiced her skills, performed the Light Body Technique, and quickly returned to the community.
As soon as I arrived at the door of the unit, Cui Lie was already waiting there. "I just saw you back upstairs, come up quickly! Jiang Jie is not in good condition." Cui Lie said with a heavy expression.
When Rong Xianxian went upstairs and saw Jiang Jie's appearance, she was shocked that the poison spread so quickly. Her trip was smooth and she did not waste any time on the road.
Fortunately, the golden needles were used to seal the acupoints and protect the heart meridian, otherwise Jiang Jie would probably have died by now.
