Changshan was slightly stunned. He didn't wait for Shi Xuan's answer. Instead, he waited for a jade box pushed in front of him.
This jade box is very delicate, but it doesn't look like an antique, so the strange objects Shi Xuan mentioned must be the things in this jade box. So Changshan didn't think any more and opened the box, only to see two small gray-black balls neatly placed inside. When he opened the box, there was a refreshing aroma wafting out from the inside. lingering in the nose.
If you look closely, you will see that the surface of the two small balls is not only extremely smooth but also has a slight rotation of light, making it look even more mysterious.
"Commander, please forgive me for my blindness. This is the first time I have seen this thing. I don't know what it is."
Shi Xuan raised his brows slightly and said with a smile: "Sir, why are you so humble? Although this thing is mysterious and few people know about it, as a person in the field of miscellaneous studies, you must know it. And since I have brought it out, I must be right. It knows a thing or two, so sir, you can speak frankly."
Changshan was even more surprised when he heard Shi Xuan's words. He let out a sigh and asked curiously: "What does the military commander mean by this? This means that I am sure that I know this thing but deliberately keep it secret. Is this what I mean? But I I really don’t know anything about this thing, and this is indeed the first time I’ve seen it.”
Changshan carefully looked at the two small balls in the jade box again, and after a while he shook his head and asked curiously. He prides himself on being knowledgeable, but this time he has really never seen what is in front of him, and there is something in Shi Xuan's words that makes him unable to figure out why the other party said such things.
Shi Xuan also put down the tea cup in his hand in confusion and said: "This thing is called Bone Strengthening Pill. It is made by the mysterious method of the miscellaneous school. How could you not know this, sir?"
"Huh?! Commander, where did you hear this? When did this thing become a means of my miscellaneous studies?!" Changshan had a surprised expression on his face, leaned forward a little, and spoke urgently and unexpectedly. . Never would I have thought that this thing would be pinned on the head of the miscellaneous studies. And what is this thing used for?
"What about the Bagua array and the Kongming lantern? These two things are not the miscellaneous methods that sir knows?" Shi Xuan's mind was spinning rapidly, and his words were deliberately changed.
Shi Xuan originally thought that Changshan was here to find someone and wanted to raise an army to hold him accountable. After all, the lineage of miscellaneous studies has always been hidden, and knowledge is rarely disclosed to the public. It is even said that the rules are strict, and those who dare to spread the methods of miscellaneous studies indiscriminately will be punished by the teacher.
But now looking at Changshan's expression, listening to his tone, and Shi Xuan's understanding of Changshan, it seems that the other party really knows nothing about it, and he is not looking for someone to blame as he thought.
How come the confusion at the end of Changshan is related to the Bagua Array and the Kongming Lantern? But he also replied affirmatively: "What the military commander said is true. This thing, as well as the Bagua array and Kongming lantern that I asked about just now, are not miscellaneous learning methods that I know.
Today, the military commander always has something in his words, as if he is hiding something, which arouses people's curiosity. He also asked the military commander to admit frankly that I can't guess what he said. "
Shi Xuan laughed and said: "Sir, don't be surprised, I will also be wrong, otherwise, how can I tell the truth?" Then he went on to talk about the relationship between the four of them, the Bone Strengthening Pill, the Bagua Formation, the Kongming Lantern, and Zhang Yan. Some background events were briefly explained to Changshan. Most of them were introduced by Zhou Cang when he came before, and the rest were learned by Shi Xuan when he read the military newspaper on weekdays. This can be regarded as a clear explanation of the causes and consequences of Zhang Yan and those things.
"What?! This thing can stimulate the potential of warriors and increase the strength of muscles and bones according to the number?! And the person who refined this thing and the person who took out the Bagua array and made the Kongming Lantern are actually the same person?! It is said to be a method of the miscellaneous school lineage ?!”
After hearing this, Changshan was so shocked that he couldn't sit still. He wanted to stand up, but he felt rude after standing halfway, so he sat down again. The surprised expression on his face was not concealed at all.
Although it is not said that Changshan is the top of the miscellaneous studies, Shi Xuan is one of the "big names" among them. His understanding of the lineage of miscellaneous studies is definitely very deep.
It is said that the lineage of miscellaneous studies is obscure, but this is not the case in Changshan's eyes. It is just because miscellaneous studies are too complicated and require a lot of accumulation, which is very different from the current knowledge system, so it has to be passed down on a small scale. Firstly, it was a last resort, and secondly, it was to ensure the purity of the lineage of miscellaneous studies and not let traditional knowledge erode its edge.
It can be said that miscellaneous studies also have their own inheritance and accumulation.
But Changshan had never heard of the Kongming Lantern, nor did he know about the Bagua Formation, nor did he know that there were such strange things in the world as the so-called bone-strengthening pill in the jade box in front of him.
The Kong Ming Lantern and Bagua array were fine, but it did seem to Changshan that there were some shadows of miscellaneous knowledge, which was why he was so anxious to find someone to investigate. He had gathered together with several old friends from the Zaxue sect before and wondered whether a certain Zaxue sect living outside the country was deliberately trying to gain fame? That's why he came to the Eastern Army camp.
But this bone-strengthening pill... is too mysterious. Even if it comes from Shi Xuan's mouth, Changshan still remains skeptical about it.
"Mr. I happen to be here, let's try it and see if it's an exaggeration?"
"Very good! I am also curious whether that Zhang Yan is really so magical and can refine such a heaven-defying treasure." Although he was doubtful, Changshan did not bother with the other party's identity as a "miscellaneous scholar". Because he has never met anyone, there are too many paths in the miscellany lineage that he does not know all about, so he should leave some room to see before talking about it.
Shi Xuan didn't shy away from it either. Call a personal guard, explain the stakes and let the other party choose whether to test the medicine. As a result, the other party said "Thank you for the gift, sir", picked up a bone-strengthening pill and swallowed it. Zhou Cang's adjutant was not stupid before, and now Shi Xuan's bodyguard is not stupid either. How could there be any risk in this kind of thing? It's clearly a reward you can't ask for. Just grab it. How dare you hesitate?
Shi Xuan and Chang Shan didn't bother, they just wanted to see the bodyguard take the bone-strengthening pill and feel the effects of the medicine on the spot. Not long after waiting, there was an obvious reaction on the bodyguard.
"Is this?" Changshan was not a warrior, so he was curious whether the guard's reaction was normal.
Shi Xuan explained from the side: "This is the effect of the medicine taking effect. There is a similar effect when using Jingu Powder. It seems that this bone-strengthening pill is exaggerated, but it is definitely not useless."
After a while, the guard opened his eyes, and then told his experience in detail. It is basically similar to the medicine Shi Xuan knew before. Gaining 1.5% of the muscles and bones is just at least, and it will definitely have more effects in the future as the medicine continues to take effect.
Hearing the conclusion of the personal guard's medicine test, although it is not complete, it also shows that the effect of this bone-strengthening pill is not exaggerated at all, but a real treasure worthy of the name! Its significance to warriors far exceeds that of the Jingu San that is currently on the market.
"This..." Changshan's eyes flickered, not knowing what he was thinking.
Shi Xuan, on the other hand, picked up the remaining bone-strengthening pills on the table and smiled meaningfully.
