Immortals of the End Times

Chapter 8 008: The Golden Jade Elixir Formula, Langjiu Yang Qi
In the quiet room aboard the painted boat, Zhao Wuji gently twirled a golden needle in his hand.

Bu Ruozhi was astonished to find that the chronic cold ailment that had plagued her knees for years, like a carbuncle stuck to the bone, was actually slowly dissipating.

"Doctor Zhao, it seems that your method of using acupuncture to dispel cold also incorporates your internal energy?"

"Indeed! My family's 'Suspended Pot Golden Needle Skill' combined with our family's medical acupuncture techniques can maximize the power of the golden needles to dispel cold."

Zhao Wuji casually picked up a golden needle. When he mobilized his internal energy, the golden needle emitted needle-like rays that condensed and did not disperse.

Both Bu Ruozhi and Liu Jianzheng were deeply moved upon seeing this.

Bu Ruozhi stroked his beard approvingly, “Zhao Jinzhen’s reputation is truly well-deserved. Although I had heard of you before, I only knew that you often cured the concubines of menstrual cramps, but I never thought of asking you to perform acupuncture.”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Wuji couldn't help but chuckle.

It seems that his reputation may not be good among a small number of people, leading to misunderstandings and causing him to miss out on many potential patients.

This Bu Ruozhi is a very good customer. The cold energy in his knees is obviously a result of being injured by some kind of strange internal force, which has accumulated over time and become a chronic disease.

As usual, he used his internal energy as a disguise to ward off the cold, creating the illusion that the unusual internal energy he cultivated using his family's traditional techniques was the nemesis of cold poison, thus adding another layer of cover for the Yin Pearl.

"Lord Bu, your cold poison has penetrated quite deeply, and you will need two more courses of acupuncture treatment to be cured."

A moment later, Zhao Wuji stopped the absorption of the Yin Pearl and began to remove the needles.

In just a short while, the Yin Pearl had gained five more strands of Yin energy, reaching a total of 1171 strands, a considerable gain.

To conceal the Yin Pearl, he did not completely remove it in one go, and several more treatments would allow him to maintain a good relationship with the Minister of Justice.

"I never thought that my chronic illness of many years would be cured one day."

Bu Ruozhi patted his comfortable legs with a sigh of relief, looked at Zhao Wuji with admiration, and said, "Imperial Physician Zhao, your skill in using golden needles to dispel cold is truly remarkable. I happen to have another patient here suffering from cold, who needs your help to administer acupuncture. However, this person's identity is quite special. I wonder if you would be willing to agree?"

"Oh? How is it special?"

"This person is currently imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison; he is a protector of the Supreme Sect."

"The Supreme Dharma Protector?"

Zhao Wuji was startled, and immediately remembered the two people who had sought medical help that night.

"good."

Bu Ruozhi smiled and said, "This person has a special identity. Regardless of whether you, the imperial physician, are willing to perform acupuncture, I must thank you. I happen to have an ancient prescription here. Although it is incomplete, it still has some value. Imperial Physician Zhao, please accept it as a consultation fee."

After he finished speaking, he pulled out a roll of parchment from his sleeve, summoned a servant to the side, whispered a few words to him, and the servant turned and left the room.

Zhao Wuji took the ancient leather scroll and glanced at the words "silkworm head and swallow tail" before realizing it was Han Dynasty clerical script. He then sensed the restlessness of the Yang Pearl in his sea of ​​consciousness.

At the same time, Lord Mo, who had been selling wine earlier, walked in and bowed obsequiously to Bu Ruozhi.

"What are your orders, Lord Bu?"

Bu Ruozhi smiled faintly, "Imperial Physician Zhao just cured my chronic knee ailment. He is not concerned with money, so I have no way to repay him."

"I've heard that you possess fine Qinghualang aged wine, Lord Mo. I intend to buy some and present it to Physician Zhao as payment for his consultation. I wonder if you would be willing to sell the wine?"

Mo Quancai was taken aback upon hearing this. He glanced at Zhao Wuji and immediately smiled and bowed, "Imperial Physician Zhao is truly a divine physician; his needles cured the illness instantly."

He then congratulated Bu Ruozhi, saying, "Lord Bu, what business do you have with buying wine? It is already a great honor for me that you have taken a liking to my wine. I am willing to offer you wine to congratulate you."

The Minister of Justice summoned him to buy wine, but this was not about buying wine; it was clearly a way to give him a stepping stone to promotion. If he actually sold it, he would have wasted his official position.

Half an hour later, the Immortal Seeking Gathering came to an end.

The large pleasure boat slowly docked at the shore, and the dignitaries and nobles disembarked one after another, boarding the waiting carriages and sedan chairs to leave.

After bidding farewell to Bu Ruozhi and Liu Jianzheng, Zhao Wuji boarded his own carriage and headed back home.

He returned from this grand event with a wealth of achievements.

Not only did they gain a lot of Yin and Yang energy, they also obtained an ancient elixir formula.

Finally, Lord Mo even sent ten jars of Qinghualang aged liquor, which will be delivered to his official residence tomorrow.

Based on his understanding of precious spirits, this likely meant at least twenty more strands of yang energy had entered his account. However, having accepted the wine, he also agreed to the request for help from Minister Bu.

"The Supreme Sect Protector imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison must be the Transformation Realm hero we encountered that day. This man's lungs and internal organs have been invaded by the cold energy, and he will soon die. He needs to be treated to dispel the cold."

"It seems the court still wants to know something from him, or has other plans, and doesn't want him to die for the time being."

Zhao Wuji couldn't help but recall the message he received when he came into contact with the lean man's soul that day—'Sacred Artifact'.

He sat in the car with his eyes closed, listening to the sound of the wheels rolling outside, his mind racing with thoughts.

Thinking of the dragon aura of the imperial palace observed in my spiritual state, the starlight enveloping the Imperial Observatory, and the sacred artifacts of the Supreme Sect...
The world seemed shrouded in a fog in his eyes.

What the naked eye sees on ordinary days is an utterly ordinary world.

The world seen through the divine eye in a magical state seems to be the true reality.

Although sometimes, the more you know, the more troubled and dangerous you may become.

But if he is determined to embark on the path of immortality, it seems inevitable that he will have to explore, seek the truth, and know more.

"The truth is often only in the hands of a few people, and many valuable antiquities are not accessible to ordinary people."

Zhao Wuji took out the prescription recorded on the leather scroll in his bosom and examined it.

That unique Han Dynasty clerical script requires careful reading to understand.

He lifted the curtain of the car window and, by the moonlight, identified the location as if following a map.

"Golden Jade. Elixir Formula from Huainan"

"Could it be a prescription from the time of Liu An, the King of Huainan?"

As he learned to recognize more characters, the second set of tadpole-like characters in the Yang Pearl in his sea of ​​consciousness became brighter.

However, Zhao Wuji soon had to give up trying to figure it out.

He still doesn't quite recognize some of the Han Dynasty clerical script characters and has to go back and find relevant materials to understand them.

This elixir formula is very likely a formula from a Taoist alchemist during the Western Han Dynasty.

It might even be directly related to Liu An, the King of Huainan, who was fond of seeking immortality and Taoist arts at the time, which could be considered the biggest gain of this trip.

Zhao Wuji carefully put away the pill formula, feeling the increased Yin and Yang energies within the Nine Yin Nine Yang Pearl, and silently circulated his power to meditate and cultivate.

As the Yin and Yang energies increased, his internal strength and spiritual energy also grew at a slightly faster rate during cultivation.

By the time they returned to the official residence, their proficiency in the Ten Meridians Internal Force had increased by 1 point.

The following day, the ten jars of Qinghualang gifted by Lord Mo were all delivered to the official residence; they were all from the Jiazi year old cellar.

Zhao Wuji left one jar for personal use, and used the Yang Pearl to absorb the Yang energy from the wine in the remaining nine jars.

Yangzhu, like a gluttonous beast swallowing fire, drained the scorching heat from the nine jars of wine, which was as red as blood.

It quickly condensed into twenty-seven strands of golden yang energy, which entered the yang pearl in the sea of ​​consciousness, bringing the total yang energy to 373 strands.

"There are actually twenty-seven strands of yang energy!"

Zhao Wuji was somewhat surprised.

This time they made a fortune.

Over the past three years, he has only accumulated a little over 340 strands of yang energy, which shows how precious these wines are. Even if you offered a lot of money, you probably couldn't buy them.

Without the yang energy, the wine becomes ordinary; it no longer tastes like a blazing fire, and its aroma dissipates into the everyday atmosphere of the marketplace.

Not long after, a letter of request for medical assistance from the prison warden arrived at his residence, specifically inviting him to the prison to perform acupuncture on a serious criminal to cure his cold poison.

The matter that Minister Bu requested has arrived.
