Long Live the Empress

Turtle shell, placenta...

these are……

He Bai looked at Yan Liyuan fiercely, "This is the woman's recipe for making placenta!"

"Placenta? Isn't that a folk remedy for women to maintain their youth?" Wang Yi looked at He Bai in confusion.

He Bai nodded, "That's right, take a fresh placenta, remove the amniotic membrane and umbilical cord, rinse repeatedly until all the blood is removed, steam or boil in boiling water, and dry. For women with blood deficiency, add angelica, dendrobium, purple quartz, cypress seeds, deer antlers, turtle shell, Selaginella leaves, Sichuan cypress, and tortoise shell to make pills. Taking it every day will have the effect of keeping your face young! And ancient medical books say... the placenta of a seventh-month pregnancy is the best..."

"That is to say, someone needs to take placenta pills every day to stay young, and in order to achieve the best effect, he kidnapped these women who were seven months pregnant..." Wang Yi looked at Xiao'e's body and whispered his guess.

"Yes, based on my inspection, there is no doubt about this!" He Bai felt a little proud, but when he saw everyone's angry faces, he tactfully shut his mouth.

"How long can that plate of placenta last?" Yan Liyuan asked as he walked out.

He Bai didn't know who Yan Liyuan was asking about, so he looked around and found Wang Yi staring at him, so he quickly said, "If the user wants to maintain the anti-aging effect, he needs to replace the placenta every ten days!"

Ten days? Xiao'e was killed the day before yesterday. Excluding the day of preparing the medicine, the next pregnant woman would be killed in seven days at most.

Yan Liyuan looked into the distance, thinking about the test results. "Which doctor is best at making placenta?"

He Bai thought for a moment, "When it comes to medical skills, of course the best one is Li Tai! I heard that Li Tai passed on everything he learned in this life to his apprentice, but that apprentice had evil intentions and was expelled from the sect by Li Tai. Since then, he has never left the sect again. Now there are only those few left who are showing off their medical skills... Besides, making this purple river placenta is not a secret technique, so they are all possible!"

Being able to abduct a pregnant woman silently amidst the heavy surveillance in the capital is not something that an ordinary martial artist can do, and the person who can make someone spend so much effort to make the purple river placenta is definitely not an ordinary person.

Yan Liyuan sat down at the desk and carefully read the case handed over by the Dali Temple. "Someone come!"

A man in black descended from the sky and knelt on one knee, "I'm here!"

Yan Liyuan put a few notes on the table and said, "Go and find out the news about these people."

The man in black respectfully took the note and left.

In the evening, the man in black brought back the news.

Yan Liyuan flipped through it and selected a sheet of secret reports that was filled with information.

Li Sheng, the apprentice of the medical immortal Li Tai, was an orphan who was raised by Li Tai since childhood. Li Tai loved him very much and treated him like his own son. About ten years ago, Li Sheng used Li Tai's name to make a pill for a person to prolong life. As a result, the person died suddenly after taking the pill. The family was heartbroken and wanted to carry the body of the person to Li Tai to seek revenge. Li Tai was furious when he found out and expelled Li Sheng from his sect. He never treated patients again.

Li Sheng relied on the fact that he was the disciple of the Medical God and specialized in treating people. Over time, he became successful. He also bought a mountain and named it Medical God Valley, which was used to grow medicine and make elixirs. Many patients came to see him because of his reputation, but Li Sheng charged a very high fee and refused to pay without money. Therefore, the poor could not get treatment and died directly in the Medical God Valley. From then on, only the rich would go to Li Sheng for treatment.

Looking at the secret letter, Yan Liyuan felt that Li Sheng was the most likely candidate, "Closely monitor the Medical Saint Valley!"

The secret guard lowered his head in shame, "I am incompetent! There is poisonous miasma in the Medical Saint Valley. I tried several times but failed..."

It turned out that Li Sheng knew he had many enemies, so he poisoned the valley, and no one was allowed to enter the valley without his antidote.

The secret guard also tried to get closer, but as soon as he got close, he felt dizzy and couldn't breathe, so he had to give up.

Yan Liyuan looked out the window at the darkness in the distance.

The next day, Yan Liyuan personally led people to the Medical Saint Valley. Of course, Wang Yi was still holding the noisy He Bai in his hand.

"I won't go... I don't want to go and die! Yan Liyuan, let me go!"

Yan Liyuan turned a deaf ear to him and closed his eyes to rest in the carriage.

In the evening, Yan Liyuan arrived at the Medical Saint Valley. The Medical Saint Valley was not very high, but the terrain was steep and surrounded by dense forests, which were filled with black poisonous miasma. If anyone wanted to go to the Medical Saint Valley, they had to pass through this poisonous miasma.

"I can only go this far and can't go any closer. Another secret guard also tried it, but he immediately felt dizzy and couldn't control it when he got close to the poisonous miasma. So my understanding of the Medical Saint Valley is just superficial." The secret guard reported.

Yan Liyuan was looking at the environment around the Medical Saint Valley. He Bai stood beside him and said, "The surroundings of the Medical Saint Valley are all the same. There are no loopholes at all. Let's not go there to die!"
