Chapter 493: Bixin Pill
When refining the medicine, Bai Zhi simply let Doctor Shen and Duan Cheng do it themselves. She only opened her mouth and explained when its needed.
To learn something, it’s useless to just write it down. People have to reenact and practice it. In this way, what people have learned can be engraved in their hearts and it will become their own knowledge.
It was already night when the detoxification medicine was refined. The whole tent was full of the fragrance of the medicine. It was a refreshing scent. As if a person can fly like immortal after eating it. This was the biggest charm of alchemy.
In modern times, only a few people were willing to learn alchemy. Only a few people were willing to spend a lot of money to buy their medicine to cure their disease. People would rather buy western medicine with many side effects because western medicines are cheap and have a quick effect, so the alchemy was almost extinct.
Bai Zhi also met Master Wei by chance. She went to Master Wei’s Chinese medicine shop to buy medicine. Master Wei happened to be refining medicine that day. When she went inside, the furnace had just been opened. At that time, the scent of medicine smells the same just now. From that moment, she decided to learn alchemy. No matter how hard or tired she was, she persisted until she succeeded.
“What’s the name of this antidote?” Duan Cheng asked.
Bai Zhi pinched one in her hand and picked it with her fingernails, then said with a smile: “It looks perfect. This one is called Bixin Pill.”
Bai Zhi then broke the pill in half, revealing it’s blueish-green color: “Because it has bluish-green color, it was named Bixin Pill.”
There were a total of 10 pills in the furnace. Bai Zhi took 6 pieces and gave the rest to Doctor Shen: “I took more than one pill. Do you mind?”
Doctor Shen didn’t expect that Bai Zhi would leave him four copies. He was very happy, so he busily waved his hand: “I don’t mind, I don’t. You can take them all if you need them. I’ll make another batch some other time.”
Bai Zhi shook her head: “It won’t be that easy. Refining other medicines will be possible. Finding the white flower snake’s gallbladder is very hard. Today, we just encountered it by mistake.”
Speaking of white flower snake, Doctor Shen was hungry, so he asked: “At this hour, the people in kitchen camp probably sleeping. Do you still plan to make snake soup?” He once ate a snake soup in the restaurant in the capital. The snake was very fresh, so he couldn’t forget about its taste.
Bai Zhi nodded her head and said: “Of course, you wait here, I’ll do it now.”
Doctor Shen originally wanted to go with Bai Zhi, in fear that the snake soup will be snatched by the hungry ghosts as soon as it was cooked. But he hasn’t had a chance to open his mouth when another injured patient was sent. He couldn’t count on Duan Cheng, so has no choice but to stay.
Bai Zhi took the snake and the pills then went away. After making herself busy in the kitchen camp, the smell of snake soup rushed out. Hu Feng came out immediately when he smelled the scent. Aside from Bai Zhi, who else could make this scent in the military camp?
Bai Zhi quickly handed a large bowl of snake soup to Hu Feng: “Hurry up and eat, someone might come soon, you won’t be able to eat by then.”
She said then put two bixin pills in his hand: “These pills are for Fu Zheng. You look for an opportunity to hand it over to him. Let him take one pill for 2 days and rest for a while. His internal injury will heal by itself.”
Bai Zhi didn’t tell Doctor Shen that in fact, this medicinal pill not only had a detoxifying effect and can nourish the blood, but also can repair internal organs.
However, right now is not the right time to tell him this, she can tell him that later.
Hu Feng hid the pills in his sleeve and took a sip of the snake soup. It was delicious. Since he lived here in the military camp, he could only eat rice and cabbage. He hasn’t eaten meat for a long time now. So naturally, he found it more delicious.
