Chapter 168 Healing Wang Tairan and refining the magic pill
In Room 801 of Mengyuan Hotel, Yuxin lay quietly on the bed.In the car accident last night, she caught a cold and got a bad cold.

Fortunately, the condition is not very serious, and it will be fine after a few days of rest.

While Yuxin was recuperating, Liu Xing was going to Wanxing Mountain.

Wanxing Mountain is only more than 100 kilometers away from Tianjing City, and it took only two hours to drive there.

Wanxing Mountain is one of the longest mountain ranges in northern China. The terrain is steep and extremely difficult to find.

Before coming, Liu Xing had checked the map. When Wang Tairan was leaving, he said that his old friend lived at the peak of Baicao Peak in Wanxing Mountain.

Baicao Peak is located in the middle of Wanxing Mountain, with an altitude of more than 1000 meters. It is said that hundreds of herbs grow in the mountain, so it is named Baicao Peak.

According to the marks on the map, Liu Xing quickly found Baicao Peak.

For the convenience of movement, he chose to go up the mountain at night.

Baihua Peak is located in the depths of the mountains, remote and inaccessible, the mountains are full of lush trees and flowers, there are few artificial traces, and there is no path to go up the mountain.

Liu Xing could only feel his way up the mountain.

After nearly 2 hours of rapid travel, a faint yellow light finally appeared in front of us, and it should have reached the peak.

Speeding up the pace, Liu Xing quickly approached the position of the light.

The light came from a thatched house, and in front of the thatched house was a small garden in which various herbs were planted.

As soon as he approached the thatched cottage, Liu Xing smelled a strong smell of medicine.

Faintly, conversations could be heard in the room.

"There are indeed people in the house!"

With a flash of his body, Liu Xing landed gently in a corner of the thatched cottage, and looked into the cottage through a small window made of tree branches.

There are only two old men in the thatched hut, one is lying on a wooden bamboo chair, it is Wang Tairan; in the opposite corner, another white-haired old man is standing by a purple refining furnace, looking towards Add firewood to the stove.

The refining furnace is an octagonal furnace, about two inches high, the whole body is purple in color, and the surface has a strange pattern like an astrolabe, named "Purple Star Furnace".

At this time, purple flames were burning at the bottom of the Zixing furnace, white mist came out from the furnace mouth, and a pungent medicinal smell permeated the room.

"Lao Hua, don't waste any more time, your medicine is useless to me." Wang Tairan, who was lying on the bamboo chair, said in a weak voice, his complexion was worse than before, and he was struggling to speak.

The old man who was refining the medicine was obviously not happy, and said: "Wang Tairan, you can insult me, but you can't insult my medicine! My 'Shenyang Pill' is made of Wuxincao, Green Orchid, Buyingye, Wulonggen It is refined from more than a dozen kinds of medicinal materials, and it must have curative effect."

Wang Tairan smiled lightly, and said: "Which one of the 'Shuxin Pill', 'Huoluo Pill', and 'Blood-nourishing Medicine' you refined before was not made from more than a dozen kinds of medicinal materials, and the result is still the same?"

"Refining medicine is like pursuing a woman. How can it be so easy to succeed without trying a few times?"

"It's as if you know how to chase women. You have lived to be 101 years old. Are you still single?"

"How much better are you than me? You're 98 years old, you're almost dead, and you're still a bachelor? By the way, don't you still have a crush on your well-known female writer?"

"What's wrong with your crush? It's better than having no crush!"

"Who said I have no love?"

"Huh? Which girl did you fall in love with? Let me hear it? It can't be the girl from Baihua Village, right?"

"Nonsense, Hua Niu married Chen Ergou of Nantian Village 75 years ago..."
……

The two old men talked to each other, tearing each other down and ridiculing each other. Like a pair of deadly rivals, they dug out many old things about each other.

After listening for a while, Liu Xing learned a lot of information.

It turned out that the old man who was refining medicine was named Hua Yu, and he was 101 years old this year.Huayu is one of the master figures who set up the genre, having inherited the northern book king Mengrui Shenyu.

It's just that Huayu's interest is not in novels, but in medicine.He applied the idea of ​​setting genres to pharmacy, trying to design a new drug.

Over the past 80 years, Hua Yu spent most of his time living in seclusion on Baicao Peak, devoting himself to studying the medicinal properties of various herbal medicines, trying to fuse various herbal medicines, and exploring the way of refining medicine.

Over the past few decades, Huayu has designed more than 200 new medicines, each of which is refined from several kinds of herbs, and these medicines are indeed unique.

Originally, Wang Tairan could only live for three months at most, but now more than two months have passed, and Wang Tairan is still in a good state of mind. This is largely because he has been taking these pills made by Hua Yu for the past two months. .

However, medicine is just medicine after all, not a panacea.

Wang Tairan's physical condition is still getting worse day by day.

Hua Yu did not give up, and was still trying to refine new medicines every day.

Hua Yu and Wang Tairan grew up together. Although they have stubborn personalities and always have some conflicts with each other, they both regard each other as lifelong best friends.

"Old Hua, after I die, you can bury me in Baicao Peak, at least you can have a companion."

"Stop talking nonsense, we haven't decided who is better, don't just leave like this..."

The two old men were chatting, at this moment, a black shadow flashed out, and there were two slaps, and the two old men immediately lost consciousness.

The thatched hut became quiet, only the flames of the Purple Star Stove made a soft crackling sound.

Liu Xing walked lightly to Wang Tairan's side, first felt his pulse, and then used his true energy to detect the reality in his body.

"Ugh!"

After a while, Liu Xing sighed helplessly, Wang Tairan's condition was worse than he imagined.

Wang Tairan did not suffer from any particular illness, it could even be said that he was not sick at all.It's just that his body's physiological functions have aged to the limit, which is the inevitable result of the laws of nature.

People will die of old age even if they are not sick.

In a situation like Wang Tairan, unless there are gods, no one can treat it.

It is almost impossible to cure Wang Tairan's disease, the only way is to slow down his aging speed, thereby prolonging his lifespan.

Liu Xing searched the memory of "Double Brain Doctor" in his mind, and found more than a dozen drugs that can delay the aging of the human body.These medicines are all refined from a variety of medicinal materials, and he is not sure whether Huaxia has these medicinal materials.

With a glance, Liu Xing found that there was a row of bookshelves in the thatched hut, and there were many medical books on the bookshelves, among which was a "Bai Cao Feng Medicinal Herb List".

Opening the "List of Baicaofeng Medicinal Herbs", Liu Xing flipped through it.

When it was halfway through, he felt a little joy in his heart. Among the hundreds of herbs in Baicao Mountain, it happened to be able to refine a pill called "Guixi Pill".

Guixi Dan is a kind of elixir from "Double Brain Doctor", which can slow down the aging speed of the human body by about 10 times.

It is estimated that Wang Tairan can only live for more than 2 months in his current physical condition. If he takes Guixi Pill, his aging speed will be slowed down by 10 times, which means that his life span can be extended by nearly 10 times, that is, 20 months.

In this way, Wang Tairan can still live for another year or so.

However, after taking Guixi Pill, Wang Tairan's body's metabolism will also be greatly weakened, his thinking and activity ability will be greatly reduced, and he will enter a semi-sleep state.

"At this point in the matter, this is the only option."

Thinking of this, Liu Xing immediately took a piece of paper, wrote down the refining method of Guixi Dan, the medicinal materials needed, and its curative effect, etc., and then put the note in a conspicuous place in the thatched cottage.

He was going to let Hua Yu refine Guixi Pill.

The refining process of Guixi Pill is relatively complicated, and ordinary people are simply unable to do it, but Hua Yu has decades of experience in refining medicine, so he has no problem at all.

Leaving a note, Liu Xing unlocked the acupuncture points of the two old men and left in a hurry.

As soon as he left, Wang Tairan and Hua Yu woke up.

Soon, Hua Yu saw the note left by Liu Xing, and carefully read the introduction about "Gui Xi Pill" in the note.

"Turtle breath pill?"

After reading the note, Huayu showed excitement on his face. The note introduced a method of refining medicine that he had never tried before. This method of refining medicine is based on Hu Qingniu's medical theory and was published in " The sublimated new way of refining medicine in "Double Brain Doctor".

"Old man Wang, you may be saved!"

After finishing speaking, Hua Yu hurried out of the thatched hut, ready to collect the medicinal materials needed for Guixi Pill.

……

Five days later, Hua Yu refined the first Turtle Breath Pill.

He first found a rabbit and conducted a clinical trial.After taking a small amount of Guixi Dan, the rabbit soon entered a semi-sleep state and slept for two days and two nights.

When the effect of the medicine was lifted, the rabbit woke up again on the third day and regained its vitality.

After several trials, Hua Yu was convinced of the curative effect of Guixi Pill, and prepared to let Wang Tairan take it.

"You said that after taking the Turtle Breath Pill, I will enter a semi-sleep state?" Wang Tairan was taken aback.

"That's right! At that time, your aging rate will almost stop." Hua Yu explained, "In this way, you can live for at least another year."

Wang Tairan was puzzled: "But, in a semi-sleep state, I am also unconscious. What is the difference between being alive and dead?"

"The difference is big." Hua Yu said, "The semi-sleep state can be released at any time. I can wake you up every other month. With the Guixi Pill, you can extend your life span by more than one year. In this year Here, I may be able to refine a better pill."

Wang Tairan was surprised: "This Guixi Pill can slow down the aging rate by 10 times. If a person eats Guixi Pill since childhood, his life span will be 10 times longer. Wouldn't it be possible to live to nearly 1000 years old?"

"To be precise, it's been sleeping for 1000 years." Hua Yu said, "Theoretically, as long as there are enough Guixi Pills, it is indeed possible for a person to survive for 1000 years. However, the refining of this Guixi Pill is extremely complicated, and it requires Herbal medicines are extremely limited. The herbal medicines in the entire Baicao Peak can only be refined with a maximum of 10 Guixi Pills."

Wang Tairan raised doubts: "The Turtle Breath Pill is so miraculous, it is simply a panacea, who left that note?"

"I don't know either, maybe it's some kind of expert! Maybe it's a peerless genius doctor who has lived for hundreds of years."
