Chapter 3259 Mythology
"That's right, so each batch of pills is very valuable, and the efficacy is time-limited. It's best to use the pills as soon as they are refined," said Master Na Luoer. "I know that Your Majesty and Lord Zhou are skeptical of my pills, but please convey a message to Your Majesty. Your Majesty has experienced the efficacy of this medicine before. Pills are precious, so please don't waste them and use them as soon as possible."
Zhou Man nodded in amazement, "Master, don't worry, I will definitely tell His Majesty for you."
Zhou Man asked for the name of each herb. In the end, he didn't hear much about its properties, but he did hear a lot of stories. However, Zhou Man was not disappointed. Instead, he was very interested and asked Master Luo Er happily, "Master, may I see Pancha Qushui and Zui Lai Luo?"
Master Na Luoer agreed after a brief thought and got up to take her to see it.
Master Na Luoer took out a stone bottle and a box, looked at Zhou Man and then opened them.
Zhou Man immediately leaned over to take a look. He couldn't see anything from the water in the stone bottle, but he could see clearly at a glance that the leaves in the box had been dried. Zhou Man didn't touch it at first, but just leaned in to observe it carefully. He felt that it looked a bit like mulberry leaves, but it should not be mulberry leaves.
"Koko?"
"It's not mulberry leaves. I compared it with the database in the encyclopedia, and there's no information on this plant. It can be included, but it's not active."
Zhou Man turned his head and said, "Master, I want to try to plant this kind of tree. Could you please ask someone to send a branch over? It would be best if it is wrapped in soil and sent to keep it alive."
Master Na Luoer's eyes widened, and he said angrily, "This is a sacred tree. It can only be planted in sacred land! Lord Zhou, please do not think of destroying the sacred tree. You will be punished by heaven."
These were the harshest words Zhou Man had heard since he entered the house.
Zhou Man hurriedly explained, "Master, please don't misunderstand me. I don't have any other intentions. I just think this magical medicine is so miraculous. If it can be cultivated on a large scale, wouldn't it benefit the people?"
Master Luo Er was so angry that his eyebrows knitted together. He said seriously, "Master Zhou, the sacred tree cannot be offended. We are already offending the gods by taking leaves, and you actually want to break off branches!"
He was so angry that he threw his sleeves and said with a sullen face: "Master Zhou, please forgive me for not being able to receive you any longer. Please."
"Okay, okay, I'm sorry for offending you, Master. Please forgive me," Zhou Man immediately admitted his mistake. Master Luo Er choked, and Zhou Man immediately smiled and said, "It's my ignorance and lack of knowledge. Master, don't worry, since it would offend the gods, I will definitely not take it. And if you don't agree, I don't even know where the sacred tree grows."
Na Luo'er's expression softened a little, but his heart felt heavier. Zhou Man was too flexible.
Now that things have come to this, shouldn't she just walk away?
What about the arrogance of Jin officials?
Zhou Man's eyes had already landed on the stone bottle, and he rubbed his hands together, "Master, this stone bottle is too deep. I can't see what the water looks like. Could I pour some out to see?"
"No, this water needs special stone containers to hold it. Anything else will corrode it."
"Can porcelain be used as well?"
Master Naro paused and said, "I haven't tried it because I'm afraid of contaminating the holy water."
Zhou Man no longer objected to the holy water and elixir. He nodded, looking convinced. "What about the jade?"
"This jade is also a stone, a top-grade one at that. I don't think the jade cups and bowls will contaminate the holy water," Zhou Man said. "Master, I have jade cups and bowls at home. How about I have someone go get them and pour some out for me to see?"
"Don't worry, I won't pour too much, just a few drops, just enough for you to take a look, and then I'll pour it back."
Zhou Man kept pestering people, so Master Luo Er had no choice but to agree.
Zhou Man immediately asked Daji to go back and get the jade bowl and jade cup, and whispered, "Get them both, and then I'll choose a suitable one for the master."
Daji said he understood and drove home.
Of course the Zhou family doesn’t have this thing, but the Bai family does, but not much.
When Old Madam Liu heard that Zhou Man had an urgent need, she and Nanny Liu immediately opened the storeroom to search. After a while, they found two sets of jade cups and a set of jade bowls. "These jade bowls are rarely used, but the jade cups are occasionally used. I don't know if Ziqian can use them. You can take them to her to show her."
Daji agreed, packed his things and rushed to Changsheng Temple.
Zhou Man placed the jade cup and jade bowl in front of Master Naluo Er and asked him to choose. "Which one do you think is most suitable?"
Master Na Luoer was silent for a long time, then pointed to a pure white jade cup and said, "This one."
Let them see the magic of this water.
Zhou Man took it immediately and wiped it carefully with a handkerchief, fearing that Master Luo Er would dislike it and regret it.
Zhou Man really wanted to pour the holy water himself, but Master Luo Er didn't trust her hands, always feeling that her hands would shake and she would pour out too much, so he did it himself, pouring out two drops very carefully, and if he said two drops, it meant two drops.
Zhou Man took a closer look and exclaimed "Wow" again, exclaiming, "There are five colors in just two drops of water. Amazing!"
But Master Luo Er said proudly, "No, there are seven colors, but not enough was poured out, so the colors are not complete yet."
Zhou Man nodded, thoughtfully, "Do you have to maintain the color ratio every time you refine the elixir? Otherwise, different colors and different substances mean different ingredients in the seven elixirs, wouldn't that mean different ingredients as well? But water dissolves everything, how do you define that?"
Master Na Luo was silent for a moment and then said, "This is from our Indian Buddhist sect..."
"It's a secret, I know," Zhou Man said, wiping his lips. "Okay, I won't say anything more."
Zhou Man carefully picked up the cup and sniffed it, staring at the two drops of water inside. After a while, Na Luoer smiled and said, "Master, this water has been exposed to the air for too long. Do you think it has been contaminated? Otherwise, don't pour these two drops of holy water back into the bottle. It would be bad if they contaminated the other holy water."
Master Nara: "...Master Zhou's words make sense."
"Then leave these two drops of holy water to me?"
"Leave it to Lord Zhou to deal with." Na Luo Er was glad that he was the one who poured the holy water just now, otherwise...
Zhou Man looked at Master Luo Er's finger with regret. He had said too much and made too many demands today. It was really not appropriate to let him bleed again.
She could only say, "Master, since I'm here today, it means we have a deep connection. How about this, I take your pulse?"
If you can't take blood, taking the pulse will be helpful.
Master Luo Er refused directly, "I appreciate Mr. Zhou's kindness, but I am in good health."
"You can also take a pulse if you're in good health. Do you know what it's called in the palace?" Zhou Man said, "A safe pulse. It's about seeking peace when you're healthy and detecting illness early. It's all about safety."
Master Naro refused again and said with a smile, "I have lived for a very long time. I haven't been sick since I turned a hundred. It has been more than a hundred years now."
Well, then I can only go directly to Keke.
"Go ahead." Zhou Man heard a familiar rustling sound, but it was not so pleasant. This time it was the sound of bills being issued.
Koko: “Okay.”
Zhou Man took the jade cup and stood up to say goodbye.
