Doctor Wu and his wife were overjoyed by Wu Jie's return. They were so happy that they didn't know what to do.
Naturally, they will not object if their son goes out to seek immortality; they will naturally be happy if his son makes meritorious service to the country and becomes a general; they will naturally be happy if his son writes books and preaches virtues and is praised by the people. But compared with these, the son can return home. What makes them happiest!
The mother, who has been promoted to the imperial wife, happily wants to cook. The old marquis who is registered in the Chu Kingdom dug out the good wine he brewed when he was not prosperous and announced that he would get drunk tonight. .The faces of both of them were filled with the light of happiness, and even the wrinkles seemed to have spread a lot.
However, Wu Jie stopped them and took out the jade bottle containing the life-extending elixir from the World of Heavenly Books.
"Dad, Mom, we'll talk about those little things tomorrow. Please take this medicine first." He introduced, "This is a magic elixir given by the elders of the boy's master's sect. It can keep you fit and extend your life."
Doctor Wu and Mrs. Wu looked at each other for a moment, then unanimously asked their son to eat first.
"My child has become an immortal through cultivation and has transcended life and death. This elixir is ineffective for me." Wu Jie lied with his eyes open, not blushing at all. "And this elixir is specifically for the elderly, young people." It’s useless for a strong person to eat it.”
"How can this make sense..." Doctor Wu suddenly felt that his medical knowledge had been seriously challenged, and he muttered dissatisfiedly, "If I give it to your brother, at least he can strengthen his body."
At this time, Mrs. Wu reacted quickly, poured out a green elixir, and stuffed it directly into the old man's mouth.
"You're the only one who talks a lot! This is an elixir, not a pill you made out of honey!"
The elixir melted in his mouth, and his mouth was immediately filled with fragrance. Doctor Wu swallowed it subconsciously, and felt a warm and comfortable feeling spread out from his belly. It spread throughout his body between breaths. He suddenly felt refreshed and his waist straightened unconsciously. Now that I am straight, I can see things much more clearly. It is not as blurry as usual, as if it were covered by a layer of veil.
He looked at his wife in surprise, and saw that her white hair was gradually turning black, and her face was much rosier. She was obviously an old woman in her late fifties, but she looked like she had returned to her thirties, and she was vaguely the couple back then. How the two of them went through the difficult times hand in hand.
Recalling that time, the entire Soyang County was in a famine, and just trying to make ends meet had exhausted the couple's energy. For several years, the wife didn't even have a headscarf or a belt, let alone clothes. Don't even think about replacing it with new ones, jewelry or anything like that...
Fortunately, all the hard work has finally paid off, and now they have achieved both fame and fortune, with titles and titles conferred by the court, and an outstanding immortal son - at this point in their lives, it can be said that they have no regrets!
Wu Jie watched the two elders take the elixir, then told them to have a good rest tonight, and then led them to his house under the guidance of Qiaoen.
The actual name of Jishi Hall should be "Ji Shihou Mansion". He, the real Ji Shihou, naturally has his own room. But everyone knows that he went to seek immortality, so he did not decorate his room as magnificently as possible, just as much as possible. The simplicity of the place exudes elegance and sophistication. To paraphrase a pre-travel advertising slogan, this is called "simple but not simple."
He went back to his room and was about to go to bed when Du Ruo suddenly asked: "Fourth, what do you think of me going home now?"
Wu Jie was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and nodded. Then he became a little troubled - the master had only given two elixirs in total, and he had already given them to his parents. If Du Ruo didn't have the elixirs this time, would he have to go home empty-handed?
Not successful?
Thinking of this, he turned to look at Jasmine.
"Don't look at me! I'm not good at refining alchemy!" Jasmine immediately understood what he meant, "I know how to prepare several kinds of poisons that can kill tens of thousands of people. Some medicines that can give mortals fitness and longevity, I
Never thought about it at all!”
"Then think of one now. I believe in your ability!"
"People often say, 'Catch a duck to the shelf.' Master, you are driving a rabbit to make elixirs. What the hell is that?"
"He who can do it should work harder."
"People work hard - but I'm a rabbit!"
"You are not an ordinary rabbit, you are Jasmine!" Wu Jie raised his thumbs at her, "I believe you!"
Jasmine blinked and suddenly became energetic.
She first asked Wu Jie for the jade bottle containing the elixir and smelled it, then looked left and right, and finally walked to the sacred spring water soaked in light balls, reached out and took a handful of the milky white spring water, and tasted it.
Tasted it and nodded with satisfaction.
"Just use this as the main medicine, and add something to soften the properties of the medicine... Although it is a little less durable than that kind of panacea, it can at least cure diseases, strengthen the body, and prolong life..."
"That last word sounds a little fishy!"
"Don't worry, there will definitely be no harm done anyway." Jasmine said confidently, "This kind of power is beneficial and harmless to mortals, as long as you don't use it excessively."
"Then how come it's not too much?" Wu Jie asked.
Jasmine looked at Wu Jie and smiled.
"This will trouble you, master."
About a quarter of an hour later, Du Ruo quietly walked away with the bamboo bottle containing Jasmine's special elixir, while Wu Jie lay on the bed with a helpless smile.
"This guy Jasmine... uh... is definitely taking advantage of me!"
After drinking at least a dozen liters of sacred spring water in one breath, even he felt uncomfortable.
What's worse is that this stuff won't enter the body fluid circulation system at all. It can't be excreted after being eaten. Before it is digested, it can only stay bloated like this.
When it was almost dawn, Du Ruo came back with red eyes. Without talking to Wu Jie, he went into the boudoir of the Book of Heaven to rest.
Soon after, Uncle Du, who had been promoted to one of the garrison generals of Zhaoyang County and was in charge of preventing bandits and calming the people in Anfeng County, came to the door happily. When he saw Doctor Wu, he patted his shoulders and laughed, looking extremely happy.
"Old Wu, Aruo is really a blessing to your family this time!"
Doctor Wu looked confused and didn't know what he was talking about.
"Oh... you don't know, it's no wonder." Uncle Du was in high spirits, as if he was several years younger, "Our family, Arruo, fell into the evil plan of Sanshan, the Demon Dao, and was almost taken away by him.
In desperation, I can only die with this demon. A ray of soul has nowhere to rely on, hiding in your pharmacy. In the past few years, your family has been treating diseases and saving people, especially Ah Jie’s epidemic prevention method and germ theory, which have saved countless people.
, her merits are immeasurable. She has gained some strength, and has finally repaired the loss of her soul. She can reincarnate with peace of mind, and no longer has to be a lonely ghost!"
Doctor Wu stayed for a long time, and then asked his servant to call Wu Jie to ask what happened.
Wu Jie had already reviewed his lines with Du Ruo, so he was confident and acted quite naturally in the scene.
He looked surprised at first, then ran to the pharmacy curiously, looked at it carefully, nodded, and said, "Yes, the yin energy here has not dissipated, and there should be ghosts living there."
"Aruo is such a child! If you had told us earlier, we could also find ways to take care of her!" Doctor Wu frowned, shook his head and said, "It would be good to help her build a temple!"
"That's not possible. She is a ghost with an incomplete soul. Once she leaves the pharmacy, the evil wind will immediately lure her to the River Styx. But if the soul is incomplete, she can only be reincarnated as an animal, which would be miserable!"
Uncle Du said with a smile: "This girl is really brave. Last night, Ajie came back from seeking immortality and brought elixir to her parents. As soon as she thought about it, she sneaked into the underworld and stole the holy spring water for me. She said it was true.
You want to help me live longer."
As he said this, he took out a few ugly bamboo bottles and said with a smile: "This girl! Her craftsmanship is still so poor. The bottles are no different from those made by dogs!"
"You're the one who said that about your daughter!" Du Ruo was so angry that he stamped his feet and shouted in the world of heavenly books, "Who was so sad and crying last night? In the blink of an eye, you were alive and kicking. You changed your attitude too quickly!
"
There are three bamboo bottles in total, one is for Uncle Du and has been drunk by him, and the other two are for Uncle Lin and his wife.
However, Lin Xiucai has already been a Jinshi in high school and is now an official in the capital. The couple both live in Changning City. Only Lin Lushan is the only one in the family who can study peacefully in order to gain fame. These two bamboo vases still have to be sent to Changning City.
Just fine.
After everyone chatted for a while, Wu Jie went out to Wu's home.
His eldest brother Wu Cheng still lives in Wujiaji. In addition to running a pharmacy, he also opened a medical clinic to teach children some basic pharmacology.
Wu Jie definitely wants to be a god. The title of Marquis of Ji Shi can only be inherited by his adopted son from his elder brother. Wu Cheng has no interest in the title and has never thought of himself as a future marquis, but he is jealous of his younger brother's medical achievements.
With his achievements, he is determined to teach a large number of doctors and create the Xinglin Wu family in the future, so that he can brag to his younger brother when he gets old.
When Wu Jie came to visit, he happened to be checking the completion of homework by the students. When he saw his younger brother, he was overjoyed and gave the students a day off.
Seeing the group of children running out happily, Wu Jie couldn't help laughing and teasing: "Brother, it seems that you are a bit too dignified as a gentleman. They are all afraid of you."
"I must be strict. In our field of doctors, a little carelessness may cost a life. What if we are not strict?" Wu Cheng didn't take it seriously and said with a smile, "Brother, why are you back? And... I see
How come your face hasn’t grown up at all in the past few years? Is it possible that you have grown up so much? Are you going to become an old naughty boy?"
"I am cultivating immortality to live forever! How can I say that I will not grow up!" Wu Jie suddenly became anxious, "Also, how could a serious and dignified person like me turn into an old naughty boy?"
"You never grow up, what are you if you're not an old naughty boy? No matter how serious and solemn you are, no matter how you become an immortal, you can only be an old naughty boy and a god." Wu Cheng didn't put the gods in his eyes at all, and spoke mercilessly.
.
Wu Jie was speechless by what he said. The two brothers looked at each other cross-eyed, and finally burst into laughter.
"I feel relieved to see that you are so energetic! My parents are getting older, and I don't know how many years have passed in the Immortal Sect. I can only ask you to fulfill my share of filial piety!"
"Don't worry! It's you who should take care of yourself when you go out! Even if you become an immortal, don't immortals have all kinds of troubles and troubles? When you are unhappy, just come back and have a rest. Even if your parents are gone, brother, I
I can also drink and chat with you."
"Yeah. I'm leaving."
"So anxious? Why don't you leave without eating?"
"I plan to visit Mr. Du and Mr. Lin, and maybe have a meal at their place - well, it's not good for us immortals to stay in the human world for too long. We can easily cause trouble!"
"...It seems that this god is not as comfortable as a mortal!"
"Mortals are as good as mortals, and gods are as good as gods. Just like when people drink water, they know whether it is warm or cold."
Wu Jie went out with a smile, jumped up in response to his brother's words of "take care", and drove away with sword light. Wu Cheng was left standing at the door looking at the sky for a long time, and then sighed with a smile: "This guy A Jie,
Even if you become a god, you will still be like this... But this is fine, be a good god, and I will be proud of you, brother!"
