Lin Dan held a brush and slowly wrote down a few names of medicines. Her handwriting was very calm and sophisticated, but even calmer was her attitude. She pushed the wet paper raft in front of Mr. Nie Haicheng and said slowly, "Mr. Nie did not hear me wrong. I did say twenty years, but the prerequisite is that you have to find all these herbs."
Lin Dan really took good care of herself. Her face was as white as jade and her age was totally unpredictable. Nie Rong couldn't help but blush when she called him "young sir" in a senior manner. He calmed himself down, then looked at the paper raft and frowned deeply.
Nie Haicheng became a doctor after suffering from illness for a long time. He knew a little about the traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions for treating diabetes and kidney disease, but looking at the names of the medicines in front of him, he had no idea of Lin Dan's approach. He knew some of the medicines and took them regularly, but he had never even heard of some of the medicines.
Lin Dan's voice was very soft when she spoke, and her lips hardly opened or closed, so even if the cameraman was filming, some people with ulterior motives would not be able to analyze her words based on her lip shape. She took a sip of hot tea and explained, "The first medicine is placenta. Should you know this, old gentleman?"
Nie Haicheng nodded, but Nie Rong asked curiously, "What is placenta?" He had just returned from abroad and had no idea about these so-called "feudal dregs".
Lin Dan further explained: "Placenta is the human placenta, but the placenta I want is different from ordinary placenta. It must be sent with the umbilical cord. The fresher the better."
Nie Rong's face suddenly changed and he subconsciously covered his stomach for fear of vomiting. He gritted his teeth and said, "Using human placenta as medicine, isn't that equivalent to cannibalism?" He originally thought that acupuncture and cupping were already weird, but he didn't expect there would be something even weirder. If he had known that Chinese medicine was so strange, he would never have brought his grandfather on this trip.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Nie Haicheng, but Mr. Nie pressed his shoulder and signaled him to calm down.
"What is the difference between placenta and placenta with umbilical cord? I hope you can help me solve this puzzle." Mr. Nie asked sincerely. He eats more salt than his grandson eats rice, so he naturally won't be scared by a single medicine.
"Unborn babies naturally have a kind of Qi that can help their bodies develop and become intelligent. In Chinese medicine, we call this Qi the innate Qi. But after the baby is born, this innate Qi is polluted by the secular world and slowly dissipates. The ancient name of the umbilical cord where the placenta is attached is 'Kan Qi'. You should have guessed the reason, right, old man?"
Nie Haicheng suddenly realized and said, "This section of the umbilical cord still contains the last trace of innate energy, so it is called Kan Qi?"
"That's right. After this medicine is delivered, I have to use a special processing method to lock in this energy, so it has to be fresh, preferably just peeled off from the mother body."
"I understand." Nie Haicheng nodded carefully, and his fingertips couldn't help but point at the three words "Purple Placenta".
Nie Rong's Adam's apple moved up and down, as if he couldn't bear it, but he didn't dare to interrupt their conversation. He had already noticed that his grandfather's mentality had changed a little, and the attitude of "try everything possible" when he first arrived had been replaced by hope and trust. However, these drugs were so unreliable that he couldn't convince himself to take them.
"Does thousand-year-old amber have to be amber that is thousands of years old? Even one year less will not do?" Nie Haicheng continued to ask.
"Yes, the age must not be less than a thousand years." Lin Dan nodded.
"Did you miss a word or write it wrong for Lingzhi?"
"That's right, what I want is Lingzhi, not Wulingzhi, nor Lingzhi, but Lingzhi."
Nie Rong felt dizzy after hearing this and couldn't help asking, "I know Lingzhi, but what is Wulingzhi?"
Lin Dan chuckled and said, "Wulinzhi is the excrement of the cold bug."
Nie Haicheng added: "The winter bug is a flying squirrel."
Nie Rong covered his stomach which was constantly churning with acid and said in disbelief: "So this Wulingzhi is actually rat shit? Can shit be used as medicine?" The weirdness of Chinese medicine has completely exceeded his tolerance. He now regrets coming here.
Lin Dan said calmly, "You can drink cat poop coffee as a top-notch beverage, but why can't you accept rat poop as medicine? It's strange, are foreign things just more advanced than our own?"
Nie Rong was speechless, and Nie Haicheng waved his hands quickly: "Of course not. He has little experience and is easily alarmed. I hope you won't take it personally."
Lin Dan originally had no intention of arguing with Nie Rong, and continued, "There is a kind of insect in the Shenlongjia area called Lingyin insect, which looks like a cochineal insect and feeds on Chinese medicinal herbs such as ginseng, ganoderma lucidum, and nine-death resurrection grass. After eating, its stomach swells like a bean. Just touch its back gently with a grass stem, and it will spit out all the medicinal juice in its stomach. It is named Lingzhi because it looks like oil. Lingzhi is compatible with the medicinal properties of various precious medicinal materials, and the medicinal effect is stronger, but there are no toxic side effects. It can be called a life-saving miracle drug."
Nie Rong no longer knew what expression to use to face Lin Dan, and could only keep a numb face. He felt that this person was not talking about Chinese medicinal herbs, but telling mythological stories.
Nie Haicheng asked worriedly, "I've traveled a lot over the years, but I've never heard of the Lingyin worm. It should be hard to find, right? The doctor said I only have two months at most. If I can't find all the medicine within two months..."
Lin Dan waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, old sir. I have a way to keep you going for a while longer. I have a pill here called Butian Pills, which can strengthen your immune system and help you replenish your lost energy. Take three pills a day and I guarantee you'll be fine within half a year. But I have to tell you the truth, your body is completely broken, and replenishing it won't help. You have to rebuild it."
Lin Dan picked up the teacup and took a sip, then continued, "If there is a hole in the sky, it can be repaired with the five-colored divine stone. If the sky collapses, it needs a great god like Pangu to hold it up. The Bu Tian Pills will not be of much use to you. The medicine I'm prescribing for you is called Da Zao Pills. As the name suggests, it will use the power of medicine to help you reshape your body. I'm still saying twenty years is an understatement. As long as the medicinal materials are continuous, it won't be a problem for you to live to see five or even six generations living under the same roof."
Nie Rong stared at Lin Dan with dead eyes, obviously not believing a word she said. What kind of Dazao Pill is it? It should be called Huyou Pill!
However, Nie Haicheng was overwhelmed with emotion and could not calm down for a long time. If possible, who doesn’t want to live a long and healthy life? After being tortured by illness for so many years, he even dreamed of having a new body.
"Okay, okay," he said while coughing, "I'll send someone to find these medicines right away." He took out his cell phone and called several of his most trusted subordinates. His eyes, which had always been lifeless, now radiated a bright light, and his pale cheeks flushed red, as if he had been injected with chicken blood.
Fortunately, the cameraman was filming with his back to him and did not capture his excited expression.
Nie Rong didn't say a word, but just stared at Lin Dan. This is probably what the so-called charlatan is like, right? With just a few words, he fooled his wise and intelligent grandfather.
"Please wait a moment, I'll go get the Bu Tian Pills." Lin Dan got up and went to the pharmacy. He came back a few minutes later with a square wooden box in his hand.
"Take three pills a day. One pill when you wake up in the morning, one pill half an hour before lunch, and one pill half an hour before going to bed. If the main ingredient of Dazao Wan is not found after taking it, you can come to me for replenishment, but it can only be replenished for a maximum of six months. As I said before, it is no use just replenishing the old man's body, it needs to be built." Lin Dan explained carefully.
"Okay, thank you very much, my friend! I wonder how you will settle your medical expenses?" Nie Haicheng took the box carefully.
Lin Dan pondered for a while, then chuckled and said, "If the old gentleman has any resources, he might as well take care of my daughter. I'll waive the medical fees. No amount of money can buy the old gentleman's life, don't you think?"
Nie Haicheng immediately smiled and clapped his hands, saying, "My friend is really a wonderful person. Well, as long as my Nie family chaebol does not go bankrupt, our Nie family will spare no effort to support your daughter. This is what I, Nie Haicheng, said, and no one dares to change it. You can rest assured, my friend."
"Thank you very much, old sir." Lin Dan smiled and nodded.
Nie Haicheng blinked and said, "Since I can't die for the time being, I have a request. How about you accompany me to perform a play for the people outside?"
Lin Dan immediately understood the old man's intention. He suddenly came to visit me after living in seclusion for many years. Couldn't someone with a keen eye guess the hidden story behind this? No, they could definitely guess it, but they would never have thought that the old man could actually find a way to prolong his life from them. As the saying goes, it is better to move than to be still, and it is better to be in the dark than in the light. Now she has to accompany the old man and continue the trick to confuse his enemies.
Thinking of this, she showed a regretful expression and said clearly, "Old sir, I can't do anything. Please go back."
Nie Haicheng stood up tremblingly, his voice was a little louder than before, but his face was abnormally purple, and he looked like he was dying but trying hard to hide it: "I want to see your greenhouse, can I?"
"Of course." Lin Dan extended his hand to invite: "The flower room is in the back, please come in."
Nie Rong supported his grandfather as he walked forward, his expression very solemn. In fact, he didn't believe Lin Dan at all, so he didn't need to pretend to have a sad expression, it was obvious at a glance that it was real. Rather, the old man's forced spirit was quite intriguing. Even if the cameraman didn't follow him very closely, some people could see through the magnified lens that his gray face was full of death.
How can it be easy to save a person who has been sentenced to death by a doctor? That is a terminal illness. Even the best Western doctors can’t cure it. Can Chinese medicine cure it? Impossible! Thinking of this, the people hiding in the dark became more confident in their own judgment.
When Lin Dan brought the two guests into the greenhouse, the gardeners hired by Shen Cong also arrived in Xiaotian Village. They were driving a truck, so their speed naturally couldn't catch up with Shen Cong's off-road vehicle.
"These are the flowers. Move them slowly and carefully." Shen Cong reminded him tirelessly.
Lin Dan allowed the two guests to visit freely while he put on gloves and sprayed a special medicine on the crystal orchid to prevent it from being affected by the external humidity and temperature during transportation and causing it to rot. After spraying the medicine, she put the crystal orchid in a box made of tempered glass and handed it to the workers. The ghost orchid was also placed in a glass box to prevent it from being damaged.
Nie Haicheng followed her closely, his face full of amazement and satisfaction. He pointed at the last orchid and said, "What's the name of this orchid? Professor Wu said it's a degenerate species, but I don't think so. It should be a mutant, a fusion of the genes of the ghost orchid and the crystal orchid."
Lin Dan introduced: "It's called Snow Emperor." As for the specific variety, she chose to avoid answering.
"Snowflakes of snow?"
"That's right."
"What a good name! Its color is like ice crystals, and its fragrance is like cold snow. This orchid is definitely a holy product! My friend, can you sell it to me?"
"No, its characteristics are not stable enough. I have to divide it and then cultivate it." Lin Dan flatly refused.
"Can you sell these two pots to me?" Nie Haicheng said, pointing at the crystal orchid and ghost orchid.
"No, I still need them for research." Lin Dan continued to refuse.
The two chatted back and forth. Mr. Nie Haicheng was rejected five or six times, but he was not angry at all, which stunned the audience in the live broadcast room.
[I feel that they are equals and there is no difference in status at all. Even Mr. Lian An had to bow his head in front of Mr. Nie, but Bai Ma was not afraid at all. It is true that Bai Ma is not an ordinary person! 】Some people sighed like this.
