Among the specialties of the Great Zhou world, elixirs are considered to be quite excellent.
Most importantly, this thing is not subject to the rules of reincarnation in the heavens.
The Tower World contains various healing potions and healing robots.
However, if Yang Cheng were to bring it out in the Great Zhou World, it would disrupt the balance.
On the contrary, pills made from various natural materials and alchemical techniques have no restrictions and are available in almost every world.
Therefore, Yang Cheng came to the Great Zhou World this time hoping that Zhang Jinglin could refine another batch of high-quality pills so that he could take them with him when he left.
Hearing Yang Cheng's request, Zhang Jinglin smiled wryly and said, "Grand Commander, you're putting people in a difficult position."
"Elixirs are something that only skilled craftsmen occasionally produce. Although I have studied them for a long time, time and materials are limited. It's not something you can just concoct whenever you want."
Yang Cheng said, "Don't worry, Physician Zhang. I have already informed all the Zhenwu Hall subordinate branches of the Great Zhou to collect all kinds of rare medicinal herbs and materials for you."
Even if you, Physician Zhang, refine one batch and throw it away, it's enough for you to squander.
As for time, I'm sure Dr. Zhang, time is the last thing you're lacking right now.
You probably won't be able to hold onto your position as head of the Imperial Medical Academy for much longer, will you?
Zhang Jinglin was quite familiar with Yang Cheng, and upon hearing this, he couldn't help but roll his eyes and sigh helplessly, "Grand Commander, are you here specifically to ridicule me?"
A new emperor brings a new court, and the same applies to Zhang Jinglin, the imperial physician.
He tried to treat Zhou Heng, but Zhou Heng wouldn't listen to his advice and was already terminally ill, so Zhang Jinglin couldn't do anything about it.
Even with his full efforts, he could only extend Zhou Heng's life by a few months.
But in the eyes of others, Zhang Jinglin's medical skills were inadequate; he failed to cure the emperor and was lucky not to be sent to his grave. He should forget about being given important responsibilities again.
Therefore, recently, members of the royal family have almost stopped seeking medical treatment from Zhang Jinglin, and he won't be able to hold onto his position as the head of the Imperial Medical Academy for much longer.
Yang Cheng fiddled with his teacup and suddenly laughed, "Doctor Zhang, why don't you come to my Zhenwu Hall?"
Being a royal physician is no easy task; one wrong move and you could lose your head.
You're not that attached to official positions, so why suffer in this post?
Zhang Jinglin didn't say anything because he was genuinely tempted.
At his age, he's no longer thinking about official positions.
Moreover, reaching the position of Director of the Imperial Medical Academy is considered the pinnacle for a doctor.
On the contrary, he is now more interested in various elixirs, and Yang Cheng will definitely give him strong support in this regard after he joins the Zhenwu Hall.
Most importantly, it allows one to stay away from all the nonsense and filth within the palace.
Before Zhang Jinglin could even agree, a young eunuch rushed in and said, "Grand Commander, there's urgent military news! His Majesty urgently summons you!"
Yang Cheng frowned slightly.
Another accident has happened so quickly?
He just wiped out the White Lotus Sect. Logically speaking, with such power, those forces shouldn't dare to act recklessly.
Yang Cheng got up and followed the eunuch to the palace. By this time, most of the high-ranking officials had already arrived, including Grand Tutor Cai, Zhou Deyuan, and the emperor's father-in-law Zhang Xuansu.
Upon seeing Yang Cheng arrive, Emperor Zhou Yuan hurriedly said, "The Thirty-Six Great Bandits are attacking the capital! Everyone, quickly think of what to do!"
Zhou Yuan was truly panicked.
Previously, the White Lotus Rebellion had occurred, but at that time the capital was still far away, and he did not feel any pressure at all.
However, this time the rebellion of the thirty-six bandits went straight to the capital through Huaibei County, a distance of less than two hundred li in a straight line. The army could reach it in a few days, and the terrain was flat with no natural defenses.
Zhou Yuan hadn't even enjoyed being emperor for a few days yet, and he certainly didn't want to become a ruler of a fallen kingdom.
Yang Cheng frowned and said, "Your Majesty, please don't panic. Someone, please tell us why the Thirty-Six Great Bandits suddenly attacked the capital. What is Dugu Cheng of the Wuwei Army doing?"
Grand Tutor Cai sighed, "The Thirty-Six Great Bandits have been inactive for almost three years now."
This time, the thirty-six bandits attacked the capital in batches. Among them, "Heavenly King" Zuo Yuan led the elite of the thirty-six bandits to attack Huainan County and confront the Wuwei Army.
Xuanyuan, the second-ranked of the Thirty-Six Great Bandits, led half of his forces to attack Huaibei County, defeated General Li Daogan of the Wuwei Army, and then turned to attack the capital.
The defenses of the major cities and prefectures along the way were lax, to the point that there was practically no decent defensive force. This allowed the Mad Dragon Xuanyuan to advance over a hundred miles in a single day, capturing four cities in succession, and now threatening the capital.
