Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 225 Nian Duan leaves
  Nianduan shook his head, showing a confused expression, and replied regretfully:
  "This medicinal plant was mentioned by Dr. Gu, and I have never heard of it."

"But according to what he said about the efficacy of this medicine, it is indeed the best medicine to treat Jiu Gongzi's illness."

Han Fei cast his doubtful eyes on Gu Xun, who promptly began to explain:
  "The Nine-Turn Resurrection Grass, which can also be called the Immortal Grass, grows in the most bitter and cold desperate situation in the desert. It takes thousands of years to take root, grow leaves and bloom. After the flowers bloom, they will wither immediately, and then turn into withered grass and fall into the dust. among.”

Han Fei gritted his teeth when he heard this, "Isn't it just a matter of luck? It has to happen to bloom?"

"No." Gu Xun shook his head, "I told you, it's called Immortal Grass, not a flower. It's the withered grass that has to wait for the flowers to fade. That's the Nine-turn Resurrection Grass."

"After the flowers fade, the dead grass drifts to the world with the wind. Every hundred years, it will regain its vitality, bloom again, and then continue to fade. This process will be repeated nine times."

"Oh, it's the withered grass that has withered for the ninth time, right?" Han Fei immediately guessed.

Unfortunately it was wrong again.

Gu Xun shook his head again and denied Han Fei's guess, "On the contrary, we can't wait until it withers nine times, otherwise it will really become withered grass."

"The immortal grass accumulates thousands of years of vitality into the grass blades at the moment when the flowers fade. Then it blooms again every hundred years, consuming part of the vitality. Until nine times later, it completely decays and turns into fly ash. Therefore, the flowers bloom and wither. The more times it is used, the weaker its effectiveness becomes, and the best thing is the blade of grass after it wilts for the first time.”

"The Immortal Grass is the plant with the most vitality during the thousand years it grows, and the plant with the strongest vitality for the thousand years after the flower fades. It lives for a thousand years, dies for a thousand years, and finally returns to nothingness. There is only this Only by growing medicinal materials can one have the ability to reverse a person's innate deficiencies."

Han Fei didn't feel embarrassed about being slapped in the face continuously. After all, it was a medicinal material that he didn't know at all. It was normal. He couldn't help but sigh and admired:
  "It's really a magical medicinal material, it can be called a spiritual thing!"

"But where can I get this?"

"Go and look for it in the desert." Gu Xun spread his hands and gave him the most direct...and stupidest way.

Han Fei wanted to complain, but he couldn't refute it. Since it was born in the desert, it was okay to go to the desert to find nature. However, the act of finding a needle in a haystack was very inconsistent with Han Fei's values. In the end, he could only say a little aggrievedly:

"... then Gu Xun, please tell us in detail the appearance characteristics of this Nine-turn Resurrection Grass."

"I have a drawing here, take a look." Gu Xun was also prepared, picked up the drawing paper on the table and handed it over.

Han Fei took a look and saw that the painting was very clear, large, and full of details, but...

"Brother Gu, are you trying to make me happy? This is obviously a bunch of weeds!" Han Fei asked feebly.

The painting Gu Xun gave him clearly looked like a few weeds bunched up into a ball.

But Gu Xun spread his hands and replied innocently:
  "I'm not kidding you, just this appearance, it looks just like a bunch of weeds."

Han Fei laughed at himself and said, "Oh, then my disease is probably hopeless. These things have the same appearance as weeds, and there are a lot of them in the desert. Unless there are people who know enough like you, Brother Gu, ordinary people can't do anything about it." Tell me, you can’t find someone to take back all the weeds in the desert, right?”

"Isn't there any alternative medicine?"

Nianduan replied, "Of course there are alternatives, but the effectiveness may not be comparable to this immortal grass, and the success rate and final effect will be much worse."

"I'm afraid the treatment plan developed by Dr. Gu and I can only be used once. Once it fails, you, Ninth Young Master, will have no chance again, so I think we should look for this thing as much as possible to ensure success."

Gu Xun then added:
  "Yes, you still have a few years, so you can look for it slowly. If you really can't find it, your time is almost up. It won't hurt to try a substitute."

Han Fei nodded helplessly. The two doctors were right. They were helping him maximize his profits. They were looking for weeds... Sigh...

"Brother Gu, is there any other way to identify this medicine? Otherwise, we really can't find it!"

"There is a way." Gu Xun finally gave Han Fei some good news, although... it wasn't much good. "The Immortal Grass will regain its vitality very briefly when it comes into contact with water, only for a short moment, but as long as there is nothing wrong with the eyes, it should be fine." You can see it.”

"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to help me find him later." Han Fei replied weakly.

It's stupid to test weeds one by one with water, but at least it's better than nothing. At this time, a forbidden soldier rushed into the hospital in a panic, shouting:

"Lord Sikou, Lord Sikou!"

Han Fei rolled up his sleeves, stood up and shouted:
  "What are you yelling about? This is a medical center!"

"Sorry, sorry, sir, I was just in a hurry..."

"Okay, tell me what's going on!"

"Yes...yes, Blood-clad Marquis Bai Yifei, Marquis Bai has been assassinated! Your Majesty is urgently recruiting you into the palace." The Imperial Guard breathlessly stated the reason why he was looking for Han Fei.

"What!?" Han Fei screamed, "The Bloody Marquis is dead?"

"No...no!" The Forbidden Army quickly explained. If word got out that he said that the Marquis was dead, he would be close to death. "The Marquis is not dead, he was just injured, and the assassin ran away."

"Okay, I understand, you go ahead." Han Fei suppressed his surprise and waved his hand tiredly, signaling the Imperial Army to leave.

A few days ago, he just said that he could hide away for a few days, and in the blink of an eye, something happened again, and it was not a trivial matter... As expected, he couldn't plant a flag.

Bai Yifei was assassinated... How could someone assassinate someone so early in the morning, shortly after dawn? Shouldn't they do it in the middle of the night?

Could it be that Ye Mu is the demon again?

A guess came to Han Fei's mind, but he felt it was unreliable. Bai Yifei rarely did such tricks... at least not on the surface. So, was it still caused by the trouble Bai Yifei got into as Brother Gu said before?
  But before Han Fei could say anything, Nianduan said goodbye first:

"You two should have something serious to discuss, so Nian Duan won't delay you two here."

"Ninth Young Master's illness has been solved. Although the medicinal materials may hinder it, there is always a solution. The next step will be left to Doctor Gu. I'm afraid I won't be able to witness Ninth Young Master's recovery with my own eyes."

"Master is leaving?" Han Fei first suppressed the doubts in his heart and asked what Nian Duan's words meant.

"I was just traveling to the clouds to heal, and it's time to leave now."

Han Fei naturally wanted to say something to save him. This was polite:

"Master, since you are practicing medicine, you only have a few days to heal the people of Xinzheng, so why bother to leave in a hurry?"

Nian Duan smiled calmly, "There are ancient doctors here, and the people have reliable doctors. Nian Duan does not need to stay for a long time. In contrast, there are still many places in the world that do not have doctors and need my treatment."

Since he said that, Han Fei couldn't continue to be polite, so he stood up and bowed respectfully:

"Master Nianduan cares about all living beings, and it is not easy to stay with him. However, it is difficult to repay Master's life-saving kindness. Please accept Fei's worship."

Nian Duan turned aside to avoid it and replied:
  "Ninth Young Master, you are too polite. It is the duty of a doctor to cure diseases, and it is not a matter of kindness."

Then he saluted Gu Xun and said:

"I have learned a lot from discussing medical skills with Dr. Gu these past few days. It is really a blessing. However, all the feasts in the world come to an end. It is time to say goodbye."

Gu Xun stood up and returned the favor, "You are here to practice medicine, so I won't let you talk nonsense."

"I have learned a lot in the past few days. If you encounter trouble in the future, you can send me a message and I will definitely help you."

"Thank you so much, Doctor Gu, then... we'll say goodbye." Nianduan bowed slightly again and said goodbye.
