Chapter 137 The Happy Old Man

It can't be fake! Last time Bian Bian was poisoned, Sister Qian Er was poisoned, the leaves of Ling Xiao grass were able to control the poison.

Could it be that there is a low-end version of this Lingxiao grass? Forget it, I won’t guess anymore. I will just take him to see it. Although this old man has a complicated identity, he doesn’t look bad.

It is impossible to do everything by yourself. The bigger your business is, the more help you will need. Everyone has privacy and secrets. As long as you are loyal and don't betray others, that's enough.

"You come with me."

Shangguan Yue said to Zhuge Bucai. She didn't know much about medicine making, so she had to rely on someone who knew about medicine, mainly this old man who knew Lingxiao Fruit and knew how to make the best use of it.

"Sister, can we trust this old man?" Xiaobai's words came to my ears.

"Xiao Bai, trust people when you employ them, and don't employ people you don't trust. My sixth sense tells me that he is not an ordinary person, but he has no ill intentions."

When old man Zhuge heard Shangguan Yue tell him to catch up, he immediately hurried to catch up, his heart pounding with excitement as if it was about to jump out.

Shangguan Yue took Old Man Zhuge for two rounds in the garden. Near the courtyard wall, blocked by several rows of rose racks, there were three plots of land connected side by side.

The grass planted on the ground is green and tender. There are about thirty or forty plants. Each one is thick and less than one meter high. Because they have many branches, each plant occupies about half a meter in width.

Only one plant was in bloom, and the other two had produced fruit, one of which was light purple, and the other was dark purple. The ripe fruits had a unique fragrance, so fragrant that even insects were not able to get close.

It's so strange. It's not poison, so why do all the insects fly to the rose flowers but dare not stay on the Lingxiao flowers and Lingxiao fruits? Are they afraid of being poisoned or has the Lingxiao fruit become a spirit?

"This, this, is impossible! It can't be true! This has never been seen in Ziyan Country that looks this good."

Zhuge Bucai stroked the Lingxiao grass with his trembling hands. The Lingxiao grass was growing so well that it even had branches.

Legend has it that Lingxiao grass has only one main branch and will not grow branches. When it blooms and bears fruit, only one flower and one fruit will appear on the main branch.

This Lingxiao grass does indeed only have one flower and one fruit on the main branch, but the branches are thick and the flowers are large. The fruit is completely different from the small, malnourished Lingxiao fruit seen a hundred years ago.

Zhuge Bucai was really shocked. He tore off a leaf, smelled it, rubbed it a few times, then put it in his mouth to taste it, and his eyes immediately turned red.

He hugged Shangguan Yue who was beside him, and she laughed, shouted and jumped. She didn't look like an old man at all, but like a child who had received a reward.

"Hey! How can an old man like you hug a young lady? How disrespectful! Men and women should not be intimate with each other, even if you are an old man."

Bai Zhi pushed Zhuge Bucai away with all her strength, and looked the young lady up and down to see if she was frightened. She pointed at Zhuge Bucai and cursed at him.

Shangguan Yue smiled at Bai Zhi, who was like a housekeeper. She looked like an old lady at such a young age.

"Oh! Stop making so much noise! ​​Go away, I have something important to discuss with your eldest daughter."

Zhuge Bucai pushed away Bai Zhi who was chattering in front of him, and didn't understand why there were people who talked so much.

"Baizhi, please leave! Bring us some snacks. Chicken alone is too greasy."

Seeing Bai Zhi walking away, Zhuge Bucai's eyes immediately narrowed into slits with smile.

"From your expression, it means this is the real Lingxiao Grass. Then let's see how many detoxification pills can be made from this Lingxiao Fruit."

Shangguan Yue didn't beat around the bush and stated her problem directly.

“If it was the quality before, I could only make about two detoxification pills, but now this top-grade quality is enough to make ten detoxification pills, but… hehehe.”

"Just say whatever you want to say, don't smile in such a vulgar and servile way."

"Little girl, how can that be a lewd smile of mine? This is a flattering smile. I just, I just want you to give me two detoxification pills if I pay for the other hundred-year-old ginseng and ganoderma lucidum and other medicinal materials? Haha, haha."

"can."

"What? Really? You're really willing to give me two of them. Hahahaha, you really are God's chosen one. God is not wrong, and neither am I. With a broad mind like yours, you will definitely achieve great things in the future."

"I gave you two pills and you're so happy you're talking nonsense. You said there was this antidote pill before, so what's its name? And when will it be ready? Remember not to tell anyone about this."

"This detoxification pill is called Qianjieyou. It is said that each pill is worth a fortune. Who doesn't want to live a long life, be healthy and beautiful? I will go and make the medicine right away. It should be ready in about ten days. The Purple Flame Nation can finally be saved."

"Qian Jieyou? The name sounds impressive, but how can the Purple Flame Country be saved?"

"Little girl, it's too early to tell you this now. When the time comes, you will know it naturally. This is all I can say. I can't say more."

"That's it! Pick the fruit and bring it to me in ten days. It's best to make it into wax balls so it's easier to preserve."

"Okay, okay! Thank you, Miss. I'll pick it off now, baby! Baby, I'm going to pick you off!"

Zhuge Bucai was so happy! He took out a pair of small bamboo scissors from his medicine box, carefully cut the fruit, wrapped it with clean gauze, and put it in the medicine box.

After putting it away, I saw the lush Lingxiao grass and took out a small bamboo scissors to cut off a few leaves. These are all treasures! This girl really wasted such a good thing. This leaf can save a group of people.

Zhuge Bucai kept looking at Shangguan Yue while cutting, fearing that she would not allow him to do so. Seeing that Shangguan Yue did not say anything, he plucked up the courage to cut a few more pieces.

How could Shangguan Yue not know his thoughts and little actions? Anyway, there were so many leaves of Lingxiao grass, so it would be no problem for him to cut not only a few, but even hundreds of leaves.

Anyway, after Qian Jieyou was done, the poison to Bianbian and Sister Qian'er was completely cured, and she had no worries, so she just let the old man cut a few leaves. She couldn't be too stingy with her own people.

"Old man, you are allowed to cut ten more leaves from this leaf and see if you can make some pills out of it. If you dilute it and mix it with other herbs, you can make some beauty pills, etc."

"No way! It's a waste of such a rare and precious herb to use it to make beauty pills. Even if it is diluted a hundred times, the effect is still very good. Although it is not as good as Qianjieyou in detoxification and beauty, it can bring obvious changes after taking it for beauty purposes. It can be called a magic beauty pill."

"Okay! Then help me make a magic beauty pill. One leaf can be diluted to make 100 pills. Then cut 10 more leaves and make 1,000 pills for me. If the other herbs are not enough, you can directly use them from the pharmacy. If not, tell me and I will ask someone to buy them, or you can go and buy them yourself."

"No need for that. I can pick herbs in the mountains. I'm not short of money. I'm the only one who knows where to buy the best herbs. The ones sold in drugstores outside are not good enough."

"Old man, what's the use of this fruitless Lingxiao flower?"
