If the medicinal materials for low-end elixirs can be purchased in drug stores, high-end medicinal materials are undoubtedly only available to certain large drug dealers or those who control territorial resources.
Zhang Xuezhou did not expect that the Nongzong monks would find another way and start large-scale planting.
Although these medicinal materials grown on a Nongzong scale do not grow well, they can undoubtedly be used as materials for mid-range elixirs.
Zhang Xuezhou did not expect that what he gained after being attacked by the tiger demon was not trophies, but that he got to know the monks of the Nong Sect.
He liked to associate with monks of this sect very much.
"Are you really a monk of the Yin Yang Family's Jiutian Sect?"
After a discussion until almost dawn, Zhang Xuezhou mentioned his identity when persuading Xu Yuan.
This made Xu Yuan a little surprised, and then there was a surprise.
In Zhang Xuezhou's understanding, he has a strong demand for many medicinal materials.
But in Xu Yuan's understanding, Nong Zong's medicinal materials must also find demanders.
The Nongzong school had a bad impression on the imperial court, and the imperial court did not cooperate with the Nongzong. The great princes and kings in various places controlled huge territories, and mostly collected medicinal materials from deep mountains and old forests.
If the Nongzong monks can collect any high-end goods, they can be exchanged through certain channels.
However, few people pay attention to the medicinal materials artificially cultivated by Nongzong monks.
In the past, among the hundreds of schools of thought, the Taoist sect, the Yin Yang sect, the medical school, the Yaowang sect, the Xuanhu sect, the Huanglao sect and other sects were good at alchemy. These sects also established a good relationship of mutual assistance and exchange with the Nong sect.
Although the Nongzong is unable to obtain top-notch high-end elixirs, there is no shortage of mid- to low-end elixirs in the Nongzong.
However, with the suppression after the unification of the Qin Emperor and continuing into the Han Dynasty, many connections between the Nongzong were intermittent.
The cooperative sects are not doing well, and the agricultural sects are inevitably doing even worse.
Part of Xu Yuan's resentment also came from this.
Without the help of the power of the court, princes and kings, and lack of unity and cooperation among sects, it would be really difficult for Nongzong monks to practice.
In recent years, the Yin Yang family has become quite popular.
However, the Yin Yang family can be said to be one of the worst schools among hundreds of schools, with only two headmasters recognized as orthodox and some disciples of side sects who have learned some of the abilities of the Yin Yang family.
As for the monks from the Jiutian Sect of the Yin Yang Family who are good at alchemy, they have not been seen for a long time except for Cu Bugui.
"Try the Bigu Powder I made!"
Zhang Xuezhou touched the pocket in his sleeve and took out a three-day Bigu Powder.
"I heard that those alchemy monks from Jiutian Sect are..."
"They are all dead, right? Those are all false rumors. How could I, Dongfang Shuo, die so easily? I am alive and well, and I am still looking for monks from the Nong Sect to cooperate in making elixirs!"
"Are you really good at making pills?"
"necessary!"
After tasting the three-day Bigu Powder, Xu Yuan didn't feel any special effects.
After all, this is not a medicine that can bring cultivation benefits, but only has the effect of resisting hunger. As long as Xu Yuan is not hungry, Bigu Powder will not be effective.
He chewed a few mouthfuls, found some water, mixed it and ate it.
Regardless of whether Bigu Powder was real or not, his breakfast was over anyway.
"Let's not talk about anything else. As long as we carry ten to eight portions of Bigu Powder with us, we can walk as far as we want and collect wild herbs as long as we want." Zhang Xuezhou boasted: "It's like when we are in the wild in the wind and rain." Yes, if we can't find anything to eat, this medicine can help us a lot at this critical moment!"
"That's not all." Xu Yuan said enthusiastically: "We have to run away during the vendetta, but when we run out of energy, we can't take a break to eat. Besides, this bigu powder can save a life!"
"You're right!"
Zhang Xuezhou thought for a moment.
He originally thought that it wouldn't take too long to hunt down a person, but as soon as he thought about Cheng Bushi chasing King Jinchan for several days, he felt that pills like Bigu San were indeed a treasure.
After all, he and Jin Wanliang were so hungry in the cave that they would eat mud. If they had a mouthful of Bigu Powder, they would not end up like that.
"No wonder Bigu Powder is sold at a high price," Zhang Xuezhou sighed.
"In the eyes of those in need, a portion of Bigu Powder can't be bought for ten or eight gold." Xu Yuan said happily: "Only you monks of the Yin Yang Jiutian Sect can eat Bigu Powder as a meal!"
Xu Yuan's words made Zhang Xuezhou smile awkwardly.
He did take Bigu Powder to eat.
A portion of Bigu Powder taken casually is a good medicine that some thoughtful people seek but cannot get.
But it was only these low-end elixirs that Zhang Xuezhou could barely afford to squander until now.
Thanks to Mr. Zhao's wealth, he collected many low-grade medicinal materials, and through continuous cooking at night, he had 180 copies of three-day Bigu Powder and six copies of Five-day Bigu Powder.
In the past year or two, Zhang Xuezhou will not be too short of bigu powder.
He even had a thank you gift from Zhang Shu.
Compared to continuing to refine Bigu Powder, Zhang Xuezhou felt that refining the Spiritual Strengthening Pill was the most important thing at the moment.
Although he is currently taking Spirit Forging Pills, he must study the medicinal properties of the many medicinal materials that make up the Spirit Forging Pills in order to recreate this elixir in reality.
If he had to follow Dong Zhongshu, Zhang Xuezhou almost wanted to run to Nong Zong's medicine garden and look around.
But Zhang Xuezhou does not give up on this current relationship.
He asked about Xu Yuan's itinerary, and revealed his idea of refining elixirs with the Nongzong monks to share.
"Then I will come to you after a while. If I don't come to you, you can also go to Chang'an City to find me." Zhang Xuezhou thought for a while and said: "In case you can't find me in Chang'an City, you can find someone named Dong Zhongshu. Doctoral officer, he is my distant relative and can definitely help you find me!"
"OK!"
Xu Yuan agreed excitedly.
After a night of chatting, he not only gained an 'intimate person', but he also gained a monk who cooperated with the school.
If it weren't for the different itineraries of both parties, Xu Yuan would have wanted to go all the way with Zhang Xuezhou and others.
The two high-fived and agreed to a two-year appointment, which made Xu Yuan's face look more rosy, completely disappearing from the previous depression.
He wandered among the pills such as Bigu Powder, Peiyuan Pill, and Spirit Forging Pill that Zhang Xuezhou guaranteed. The more he imagined, the brighter his future became.
What Zhang Xuezhou saw also contained an acknowledgment that the monks of the Nong Sect could change the world and make the common people in this vast territory well fed.
This is an extremely generous and great goal. Xu Yuan feels that he can strive for it for his whole life after he improves his ability.
Even if his power alone is insignificant, Zhang Xuezhou also mentioned that many people are also struggling for this, and eventually a single spark will start a prairie fire.
"Young is good!"
Looking at Xu Yuan who was so bewitched by these words that he had completely changed his mind, Zhang Xuezhou only lamented that young people are undecided and can easily change their minds.
His conversation with Xu Yuanyiye not only saved a patient who might suffer from mental illness in the future, but also brought him what he needs in the future.
The power of Xu Yuan is of course insignificant. If possible, Zhang Xuezhou hopes that Xu Yuan can introduce more Nongzong monks to him.
This allows him to build collaborative relationships.
He made elixirs, and the Nongzong monks provided the medicinal materials. This combination of eliminating the middleman couldn't be better.
