Yamafu Military Affairs

Chapter 415: Three-party consultation

"He has been wounded over ten times over the years, and four years ago he was almost killed by a knife. Although he has recovered temporarily after treatment, his organs and meridians have been mostly damaged, and his foundation has been shaken.
Now the old injury has recurred, probably because the residual evil of the initial injury has not been completely eliminated, which has damaged the spleen and kidney. The deficiency of kidney qi leads to the deficiency of essence and marrow, and the weakness of spleen qi leads to the lack of source of qi and blood. As a result, the essence and qi are depleted, and the organs are weakened.
All his internal organs have lost their nourishment, his qi and blood are weak, and he is unable to resist evil, so his life span is short. If you want to prolong your life and keep healthy, you must first replenish your essence and qi. However, if you want to change your fate, you must completely repair his body that is full of holes. "

[Ghost Hand Doctor] Sun Sheng picked his teeth with a small branch while chatting with Qin Huai, who had just returned from a long talk with Xiang Hongying all night.

"Little Yi Hai has no Yuan Qi in his body, so he can't fill the holes in his meridians and tendons by himself. Although my golden needles can help him temporarily plug the gaps, it is not a long-term solution after all. At most, it can buy him a few dozen days of breathing time. In this month or so, he needs to generate Yuan Qi in his body to protect himself. With all I have learned in my life, I can only think of one way."

"Is Elder Sun's method related to the [Twenty-Four Sections Valley]?"

Qin Huai glanced at the intricate numerology characters on the forest floor nearby, and handed a bowl of clear tea to Sun Sheng.

"That's right. Little Yi Hai is not a natural genius. His martial arts progress is still a long way from that of a grandmaster. If we want him to generate Yuan Qi in his body, we have to rely on the right time and place."

Seeing that Qin Huai was sensible and respectful to the elderly, Sun Sheng took the tea bowl with satisfaction and took two sips slowly.

"Then can the [Twenty-Four Sections Valley] also help ordinary people generate internal Qi?"

Qin Huai blinked, and a [glance] revealed all of Xiang Yihai's information.

Name: Xiang Yihai
Condition: shortened lifespan, loss of essence, blood depletion, and weakened qi.

Note: There are many hidden injuries, which are difficult to reverse. The energy in the body will gradually dissipate with age, and the life span is not long.

Beside the hastily built hammock, Xiang Hongying held a bowl of dark, bitter medicinal soup, and fed it little by little into her father's mouth with a small wooden-handled spoon in her right hand.

Li Bingwu put his fingers on Xiang Yihai's throat, and whenever he saw the medicine soup was about to overflow from his lips, he would gently stroke his neck muscles to help send the medicine soup into his stomach. Seeing how skilled they were, it seemed that this was not the first time they had worked together to feed Xiang Yihai medicine.

"Forget about humans, even monkeys can do it!"

Sun Sheng drank the dry tea, wiped his mouth comfortably, stood up and continued to deduce and calculate the location of the solar term according to the changes in the qi situation during this period.

"Mr. Sun, now that we have a cure for the root cause, let's look at the key points for treating the symptoms."

"It won't be that difficult to replenish his vital energy. Just find a few more great herbs for him to take, and I guarantee he'll get better immediately. However."

Sun Sheng looked at Qin Huai, who was rubbing his hands and eager to try, paused, and continued, "But now his spleen and stomach are weak, and he can't take the tonic, so it's difficult for him to absorb the powerful medicinal power of the Heaven and Earth Medicine. In order to reduce the speed of his vital energy loss, I gave him acupuncture. He has been sleeping soundly these days, in order to treat the root cause first and then the symptoms. Otherwise, no matter how much vital energy I replenish him now, it will all leak out in an instant, and countless efforts will go to waste, wasting the Heaven and Earth Medicine in vain."

"That's it"

Qin Huai folded his arms and supported his chin, looking at Ao Ling who was fiddling with bottles and jars according to the Tibetan medical manual, and walked over.

"Mrs. Ao, you heard what Elder Sun said just now. Do you have any thoughts?"

"Hey, Huailang, come and see, this recipe is a recipe for mortals to heal their bodies and prolong their lives."

Ao Ling, who had not slept all night, was still in high spirits. When he saw Qin Huai asking, he immediately handed over the ancient scroll in his hand.

[Recipe for Qianjin Shen Tang]: The delicacies and medicinal foods recorded in "Dragon Palace Essentials" have extremely high requirements for raw materials and manufacturers. The better the materials and the higher the specialization, the better the final quality of the product.

The rare quality Qianjin Shen Tang can eliminate plague, repair the soul and body, prolong life, and relieve disasters and detoxify.

Ingredients: You need any holy herb as the main ingredient, and you also need Qiansuijin, Qiujiao, Bainian Huojing, Luzhu, Morinda officinalis, Nanshui Pear, Magnolia flower seeds, and Psoralea corylifolia.
Specialization requirements: Traditional Chinese Medicine 75%, Cooking 75%
Note 1: Jun material is the main ingredient of the prescription, which determines the medicinal properties and efficacy of the prescription. Depending on the Jun material you put in, this medicinal diet will have different additional effects.

Qin Huai turned his head and looked around, and found that except for the most critical holy medicinal materials, Ao Ling had already taken out various materials from the [Jade Dragon Palace] that turned into a necklace in front of her neck according to the prescription, and arranged them on the big table in order. Among them, the Thousand Years Brocade was the most extraordinary, requiring ten kilograms of carp monster meat with a thousand years of Taoism (Nine Lights). If Ao Ling was not born in the East China Sea, born as a water god, and the [Jade Dragon Palace] had rich cellars, Qin Huai really didn't know where to catch a thousand-year-old carp monster for a while.

"Holy medicinal material. Will this work?"

Qin Huai searched his personal space and finally found two things, the [Shangqing Sanmao Taiyi Resurrection Talisman] and a small jade bottle containing two taels of [Manqiu Water].

[Manqiu Water]: It is a holy medicine that can heal all injuries, replenish life vitality, and enhance the strength of the soul.

Note 1: A little bit of [Manqiu Water] can be extracted through Canglan, which has a huge amount of Grain in Ear power.

Note 2: One serving of the rare quality [Thousand Gold Divine Soup] requires one ounce of [Manqiu Water] as a guide.

After Qin Huai received the Grain in Ear Enhancement on the 33rd day of the Bingshen year, he had accumulated about four taels of [Manqiu Water] over the past half year. Recently, due to consumption and giving away, he had lost half a tael. Now he has about three taels left, which is more than enough to be the main ingredient of this medicinal meal.

As for taking out the [Shangqing Sanmao Taiyi Resurrection Talisman], Qin Huai was thinking about whether he could solve the problem once and for all and cure Xiang Yihai just by using the Qingwei Medicine Talisman.

However, judging from Qin Huai's long experience in using the Qingwei Medicine Talisman, the [Shangqing Sanmao Taiyi Huisheng Lu], which is mainly used to quickly heal metal wounds and external injuries, is unlikely to be of much help to Xiang Yihai, who is seriously injured internally. In the end, he still has to rely on the miraculous effect of [Manqiu Shui].

"Hey, what are you doing? I've said before, those old bull nose talismans are useless! If you want to completely cure it, you have to see."

Before Sun Sheng finished his words, he saw a faint green light emanating from Qin Huai's hands, which penetrated through his clothes and seeped into Xiang Yihai's limbs and bones. After a while, Xiang Yihai's face became visibly rosy.

Qin Huai opened [A Glimpse] and looked at the unchanged status bar. He walked over to Sun Sheng, who was twirling his beard with a look of surprise on his face, and handed the ancient scroll to him.

"Mr. Sun, this is the family medical classics of Ao Xiaoniang. I would like to ask you to take a look at the prescription and help weigh the ingredients according to Xiang Bo's condition so that we can understand the specific proportions, prepare the medicinal food, and try to treat him."

"Nonsense! He's in such a state that he can't even drink soup, let alone medicinal food? Even if he really makes it, how can he eat it?"

Having said that, Sun Sheng still adhered to the principle of putting the patient first and took the ancient scroll from Qin Huai's hand. However, before he could take a closer look, his eyes were already firmly attracted by the magical materials and medicinal properties, and he kept calculating in his mind whether the pharmacology of this prescription was feasible.

After a while, Sun Sheng, who was known as the "Ghost Hand Doctor", came back to his senses and looked at Qin Huai who was standing quietly beside him with a frown.

"If the medicinal properties of these ingredients are exactly the same as those recorded above, this combination may really be able to cure Xiao Yihai. But what are these Thousand Years Brocade and Holy Medicinal Materials? I have been practicing medicine for a hundred years, but I have never heard of these two medicinal materials in the world."

"Ahem, Mr. Sun, you don't know, this [Thousand Years Brocade] is a ten-jin wild Yellow River carp, and this holy medicine is the essence of heaven and earth that I found in a cave in Southeast Asia. It is extremely masculine and strong, and can serve as the main ingredient and as the introduction." Qin Huai spoke without thinking, and explained clearly what was what in just a few sentences.

"Oh, so this Qian Sui Jin and Sheng Yao are code words for the Xinglin family."

Sun Sheng stroked his beard and looked at Xiang Yihai, whose complexion had obviously improved but was gradually turning from ruddy to pale. He nodded and said, "Okay, let's try it. However, it's hard to tell whether this prescription is real or not, so we have to test the medicine."

After saying that, Sun Sheng took out a pulse pillow from the medicine box at his feet and called out to Xiang Hongying, who had a somewhat tangled expression, "Little girl, help your father up. I'll take his pulse!"

Half a minute later, Sun Sheng, with a complicated expression, finished taking Qin Huai's pulse and stared at him without saying a word. Just when Qin Huai felt a little scared by being stared at, he suddenly asked a question.

"Qin boy, where did you get that talisman?"

"When I went to Southeast Asia, I met an old Taoist priest from the Qingwei Sect. It was a coincidence. It was a coincidence."

Seeing that Qin Huai was laughing and unwilling to go into details, Sun Sheng didn't care. He took the scale to the large table full of materials and slowly began to weigh the required materials.

He could see that no matter the slippery Qin Huai or the mysterious young lady from the Ao family, they were definitely people with extraordinary origins. Although it was not certain which Taoist or Buddhist sect or hidden family they came from, and whether they came to the world to support the Dragon Court or to slay the dragon, their conversation, knowledge and skills could not be faked.

crackle crackle~
The freshly picked up dead branches were burning brightly in the newly built stove. Ao Ling was wiping the kitchen knife with a knife towel. The pots and pans on the side were already filled with various prepared herbs.

She waved her hand to call for clean water to be placed in the big pot, waiting for it to boil. She used the knife in her hand to pick out all the fish bones in the [Thousand Years Brocade]. Her movements were clean and neat, and quite beautiful.

Qin Huai sat with Hongying, silently watching Ao Ling working in front of the stove.

"Qin Lang, the method you mentioned is to ask Sister Ao Ling to make a medicinal meal for father?"

Hongying's hands had been twisted together at some point, and her tone was a little inexplicable.

"Well, Miss Ao is an extraordinary cook. The tonic and medicinal food she produces has miraculous effects and will definitely cure Xiang Bo's old illness."

Qin Huai spoke to comfort him.

"Those drugs are expensive, aren't they? Why didn't you tell me this last night?"

"No matter how expensive it is, it can't be as much as Xiang Bo Wanyi. Besides, the efficacy of this medicinal food is unknown. I didn't tell you last night because I was afraid that you would be happy and sad, and your mood swings would hurt your body."

Qin Huai looked at Hongying with a complicated look in his eyes.

In fact, both he and Ao Ling knew in their hearts that Xiang Yihai was just a mortal of the casual level, so there was no need to go through so much trouble to cure him. It was not necessary to use many ingredients to make a [real taste] medicinal meal.

Apart from anything else, just the [Manqiu Water] in Qin Huai's hand is enough to help Xiang Yihai be reborn and return to his prime.

But everyone is selfish.

Considering that [Manqiu Water] is a yang-type holy medicine extracted from a huge amount of Grain in Ear Canglan, if it is given to Xiang Yihai without any other condiments, it is hard to guarantee that he will be too weak to be replenished and some other accidents will happen.

In addition, in order to ease the relationship between Hongying and Ao Ling and deepen the friendship between the two women, Qin Huai felt that Ao Ling should come forward and use the principle of monarch, minister, assistant and envoy in medicinal food to minimize the potential side effects of [Manqiu Shui].

After all, human life is at stake, so it’s never too careful.

Ao Ling was extremely intelligent, and as a member of Qin Huai's family, she naturally understood what was in his mind without any words being spoken. She used the medical classics in her family collection to find a recipe for a medicinal diet that could be used, and took the initiative to prepare all the necessary ingredients.

Wow~
The iron pot weighing more than ten pounds was turned upside down in Ao Ling's hand as if it were nothing.

The dark brown liquid medicine spilled into the air, as if being grasped by an invisible giant hand, gradually shrinking, condensing, and thickening from a ball the size of a washbasin.
A moment later, Ao Ling took the white porcelain spoon and the green jade bowl on the table, and passed his arm through a dark golden halo of the sun. He cracked open the brittle shell that had been solidified by the high temperature, and scooped out a spoonful of semi-fluid that was as brilliant as gold.

Although this [Thousand Gold Divine Soup] is called a soup, it is actually glue. It is the finest fish glue made from the thousand-year-old carp monster and Manqiu water.

“The art of cooking is like taking treasure from fire. If you take it too soon, it will be raw; if you take it too late, it will be stale. If you fight for it in a moment, you will lose it in a flash.”

Qin Huai looked at Ao Ling, who had moved so smoothly and controlled the heat just right, and knew that this pastry-making girl's attainments in cooking had probably improved a bit.

"Sister Hongying, would you like to try it?"

Ao Ling was holding a tray with six bowls on it, one large and five small, each containing varying amounts of the finest fish maw.

"Thank you for your hard work, Sister Ao Ling."

Hongying smiled, picked up a small bowl, sucked a thin layer of almost non-existent fish glue into her mouth, and savored its flavor and medicinal properties carefully.

"Not bad, not bad. The medicinal power is mild and the taste is rich. Just with this little bit, I can clearly feel that my internal organs are strengthened, my marrow and blood are generated naturally, and my tendons and veins are flexible."

Sun Sheng smacked his lips, as if he was still not satisfied, and gave Ao Ling a thumbs up: "Girl, your cooking skills are really good. It's worth letting the old man help you."

"Mr. Sun, since this soup is effective, what about us?"

Qin Huai opened [A Glimpse] and took a look at the freshly-made [Thousand Gold Divine Soup], then asked Sun Sheng.

"Come on, help little Yi Hai up, or you two can feed him."

Perhaps it was because Ao Ling deliberately condensed the soup into gel, Hongying and Li Bingwu did not spend much effort to feed this extremely smooth [Thousand Gold Divine Soup] into Xiang Yihai's stomach, waiting nervously for the medicinal effect to take effect.
