In the imperial hospitals of the Wu Dynasty, there were medical officer positions such as envoys, judges, imperial doctors, officials, and medical doctors.
The envoy of Taiyuan Hospital, also known as the dean of Taiyuan Hospital, is the highest official position in charge of the entire Taiyuan Hospital and is of the fifth rank.
As for ordinary imperial doctors, they are usually of the eighth grade.
Zhao Huichun had been an eighth-grade imperial doctor before. Although he had excellent medical skills, he was not very popular in the imperial hospital because he was too upright and dull.
Even some of his colleagues in the hospital looked down upon him and ostracized him.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Huichun would reach the sky today, from a small eighth-grade imperial doctor to a full-fledged fifth-grade hospital envoy!
As for the previous envoy of Taiyuan Hospital, he was a member of the rear party. He was dragged out of bed and sent to prison last night.
But now Zhao Huichun has no time to think about this.
Following the emperor, he was equally anxious.
If others don't know, how can he still be unclear?
The emperor's so-called alchemy is basically making poison.
Dogs died after eating the elixir that I made before. If I try to make it again, it will probably have the same consequences. I don’t know where the recipe came from.
Although he is relatively introverted and doesn't have many friends, he has also heard some rumors that there are at least four groups of rebels with a total of one million people heading towards the capital, and they will arrive in the capital soon!
In this case, the emperor still needs to make elixirs... Isn't it appropriate?
Along the way from the Hall of Supreme Harmony to the Hall of Yangxin, Zhao Huichun opened his mouth several times to dissuade him, but looking at the emperor's excited look, he choked back all the words he said.
The emperor seems to have this little hobby, wouldn't it be a good idea to directly refute it himself?
Just as he was thinking about it, he arrived at the imperial study room of Yangxin Hall.
He saw that various alchemy furnaces and rare and powerful medicines had been set up here. The quality of these rare and powerful medicines was actually better than the ones he saw for the first time!
As a qualified imperial doctor, Zhao Huichun couldn't help but be stunned.
Many of the medicinal materials here are even five hundred or even thousand years old and have only been seen in legends!
Seeing Zhao Huichun's appearance, Li Yun was also in a good mood.
After confiscating Enhai's treasure house, the most precious thing you got from it was not the land deeds, banknotes, pearls, emeralds and other treasures, but these top-notch rare medicines!
These gadgets were probably copied from the secret treasury of the previous dynasty by Li Chenggang, the founder of the Wu Dynasty, and the previous dynasty copied the treasure troves of the previous dynasty, and they were passed down from generation to generation.
This shows how valuable it is.
Although it has not yet reached the level of refining the Immortal-cultivating Pill, it is enough to once again practice the martial arts pill that Li Yun refined for the first time!
Even further, the top medicinal materials among them can be refined into the Immortal Martial Medicine that allows Li Yun to achieve another breakthrough in martial arts!
After rubbing his hands, Li Yun took a deep breath, sat down on the Taishi chair beside him, and said to Zhao Huichun:
"Zhao Aiqing, let's get started."
Unexpectedly, Zhao Huichun stood still, as if there was a war between heaven and man in his heart. Then he gritted his teeth suddenly, knelt in front of Li Yun and begged:
"Your Majesty, I don't dare to disobey the Emperor's will. It's just that this elixir can no longer be refined. I don't know where the Emperor's prescription came from, but this prescription is absolutely true and poisonous. , if you eat just a tiny bit of the prepared elixir, you will definitely die!"
Before, under the surveillance of the eunuchs, he did not dare to speak clearly to the emperor, but now he has no such scruples and must make it clear to the emperor.
A good generation of wise kings, who had just wiped out the eunuchs and returned to power, suddenly made a pill and ate it, and died!
Who do you think you can talk to to reason with this?
He, Zhao Huichun, is the sinner in the world!
He saw the emperor in front of him looking at him with a smile and said:
"I just like Aiqing's loyalty and courage to remonstrate! Aiqing, don't worry, the elixir I refined is not for my own consumption."
Hearing this, Zhao Huichun couldn't help but feel awe-struck, and suddenly understood what the emperor was going to do.
It turns out that the emperor originally wanted to refine poison!
That kind of poisonous medicine that is unique in the world!
As for who it was for, that was naturally a secret of the royal family, and it was not something that he, a small official of the Fifth Grade Hospital, could pry into.
Instantly sweating profusely, he knelt down and kowtowed to Li Yun:
"The humble minister's arrogant remarks are worthy of death. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
At the same time, he cursed in his heart that he was really stupid. The emperor had endured for a long time and used all his wits to destroy the eunuchs and restore the great power. Does that look like a coward?
It's really stupid to speculate on your own ideas.
Li Yun waved his hand and said:
"Don't blame those who don't know, just raise the furnace quickly."
He looked like he was addicted to pills.
Zhao Huichun did not dare to say anything more and quickly ordered the eunuchs on the side to help light the fire.
With his previous experience of helping the emperor make elixirs, he could be said to be familiar with the task this time and his movements were much faster.
The emperor gave two elixir recipes this time. The first one was the same as when he made the elixir for the first time. It seemed to be to do some testing in advance, so that Zhao Huichun used the relatively weak medicines in this batch of medicines. of.
Even so, the mere smell of many rare and precious medicines would make those who helped carry the medicinal materials blush, and even have nosebleeds.
Along the way, a lot of lead and mercury were added to the elixir. The smell of the medicine immediately hit their nostrils in the royal study, making all the prisoners groggy and making them want to vomit.
Even Zhao Huichun found a piece of cloth, wetted it and put it over his mouth and nose before he could continue to refine the elixir.
The most important thing in this alchemy is the foundation of medicinal materials, and the other is the control of the heat.
Fortunately, Zhao Huichun became the envoy of the hospital at this time, and he was no longer under the mental pressure of being monitored by the eunuchs, so his condition was much better.
It only took a short while to slowly remove the fire from several alchemy furnaces. After the furnace bodies cooled down slightly, they opened the alchemy furnaces and found the same longan-sized elixir that was made from lead and mercury melting, shrinking and condensing. , appeared in front of me.
After his first experience, Zhao Huichun understood that this was definitely poison, so he carefully took out the elixirs, filled them on a jade plate, and brought them to the emperor.
This time, the amount of precious medicine was even greater than last time. There were seventeen pills in total, glowing with a strange purple light in the jade plate.
The emperor casually took the jade plate, looked at it carefully, reached out and touched the elixirs with a satisfied look, then put them aside and asked Zhao Huichun to continue to refine the second elixir recipe.
Seeing that the emperor did not swallow the pill directly, Zhao Huichun breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the pill furnace again to start refining the medicine.
At this time, he had determined that the emperor's alchemy was indeed not for himself, but for others.
But who is it for?
Is it for the big guys from the Eunuch Party or the Dongzhu Party?
Or... the Queen Mother?
Zhao Huichun shivered suddenly, and then shook his head vigorously to stop his random thoughts. He began to focus on the alchemy furnace and medicinal materials in front of him, and carefully started to refine the elixir according to the new elixir recipe given by the emperor.
It is said that this new recipe is even more amazing than the previous one.
Not only are the rare and precious medicines used in it more top-notch, there are quite a few of them at the five-hundred-year level, and things like jade, gold, and silver are even used as auxiliary materials for the elixirs.
If you eat these things, you will basically die.
But who is the emperor planning to poison to death?
Can't we just use ordinary poisons like Hedinghong arsenic?
It is really a waste to use this rare medicine to refine poison...
While thinking about it, Zhao Huichun diligently refined the elixir according to the recipe given by the emperor.
Li Yun was sitting behind him, and his spiritual consciousness was released, covering each of the alchemy furnaces. Feeling the elixirs that were gradually taking shape in these alchemy furnaces, he was also filled with emotions.
In the Haotian Cultivation Technique, in addition to the martial arts elixirs for practicing martial arts, there are also elixirs for cultivating immortality, including the Ningyan Dan, the Qi Replenishing Dan, the Blood Transformation Dan, the God Refining Dan, the Foundation Building Dan, etc.
What moved Li Yun the most was the Foundation Establishment Pill!
After he reached the ninth level of Qi training, if he wanted to go further, he would face the threshold of foundation building.
It stands to reason that this Haotian technique is the technique practiced by the Jade Emperor, and it should have been successfully completed and established. However, considering that the legendary Jade Emperor experienced 1,750 calamities, each calamity lasted 129,600 years. , Only then did he achieve the right result and attain the Dao, and it was not up to Li Yunfang.
However, according to the elixir prescription in the Haotian Cultivation Technique, to refine immortality elixirs such as the Foundation Establishment Pill, you must use spiritual grasses and spiritual plants. These ordinary rare and precious elixirs in the world have no effect.
Thinking of this, Li Yun couldn't help but immediately think of the so-called vacuum hometown of the White Lotus Sect and where the Blood Spirit Immortal Sect was located.
I can't say that I will go to the Vacuum Hometown and the Blood Spirit Immortal Sect to see if there are any spiritual plants that can be used to make medicine...
While thinking about it, Li Yun took the seventeen martial arts elixirs that he had just refined, activated the spiritual power in his body, arcs flashed in his palms, and began to purify these elixirs with the royal energy in his body.
In a short time, these martial arts medicines had been purified by him, and the erysipelas in them completely disappeared, turning into veritable medicines, and a strong medicinal fragrance emanated from them.
Although it still looks like a strange purple light, it is actually completely different.
Time flies, and soon it is almost evening. All the top medicinal materials confiscated from Enhai's secret warehouse have been consumed, and two furnaces of medicine have even been refined. There is a "buzz" sound, and the medicine in front of Zhao Huichun appears. The alchemy furnace finally buzzed.
Immediately afterwards, a puff of green smoke came out of the alchemy furnace, forming a small dragon shape in the void, and then slowly dissipated!
A strange aroma emerged from the alchemy furnace.
Zhao Huichun's eyes were red from the smoke, and he carefully turned off the fire. He waited until the furnace temperature dropped slightly before opening the furnace door.
In the center of the alchemy furnace, there was an elixir the size of a finger, like a gold cake, with naturally formed dragon patterns on it!
Zhao Huichun carefully took out the elixir with a white jade clip, placed it on the jade plate, presented it to Li Yun, and said:
"Your Majesty, fortunately, the elixir is ready."
At the same time, he denounced the emperor's prodigal behavior in his heart.
There are so many rare and great medicines, but this thing finally comes out. Isn’t this nonsense?
What a waste of natural resources!
No matter how full the treasury of the Wu Dynasty was, it was not such a waste!
But what made Zhao Huichun relieved was that the medicinal materials were used up anyway, and the emperor would no longer force him to refine medicine.
He is also free from the pangs of conscience.
Before the emperor could speak, he heard the eunuch's voice outside the door:
"Pei Zhong, the chief academician of the cabinet, and Yuan Chengtao, the minister of civil affairs, are here to meet us!"
