Those alchemists and doctors who became immortals and attained enlightenment because of their belief in taking mineral medicine.
I don’t know how many people can wake up from heavy metal poisoning, and I would like to remind future generations not to be deceived.
Cheng Chubi patted the hodgepodge in front of him and looked at Dr. Wang who looked a little embarrassed in front of him, dumbfounded.
"Wang Yiling, do you really believe that these things can make you an immortal?"
After Wang Yiling hesitated for a long time while stroking his long beard, he finally spoke with uncertainty.
"This...I don't completely believe it. After all, I always feel a little, a little doubtful."
"But this is a record that was recorded in books during the Han Dynasty. It can't be without evidence..."
Cheng Chubi smacked his mouth, glanced at Wang Yiling, who was still speaking arrogantly, and picked up the "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" and leafed through it randomly.
Just as he happened to turn to the mercury page, Cheng Chubi's eyes stared like bells.
It is mainly used to treat scabies, fistulas, scabs, white baldness, killing skin lice, abortion, heat removal, and killing gold, silver, copper and tin poisons. Melting it will restore it into elixir, and after taking it for a long time, the immortal will not die...
The fact that Cheng Chubi knows is that in addition to causing mental and neurological abnormalities, it can also cause gingivitis, tremors and other symptoms.
If taken orally, it can also cause abdominal pain, diarrhea, bloody stools, etc., as well as acute renal failure and even life-threatening consequences.
However, in the "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" compiled in the Han Dynasty, this thing has been immortalized for a long time.
Cheng Chubi took a look at most of the mineral medicines and seemed to add the phrase "immortal immortality after long-term use." This can only mean that this is caused by a lack of chemical knowledge.
But yes, the Tang Dynasty is still here, and there is still more than a thousand years left before the establishment of modern medicine.
Cheng Chubi's eyes fell on Wang Yiling. "Wang Yiling, Zhang Yiling, how come you two are talking about this topic?"
Doctor Wang nodded towards Cheng Chubi with a sigh on his face.
"Cheng Taichang, I have an old friend who once worked with me in the Imperial Medical Office..."
When the Tang Dynasty was founded, his old friend was not willing to stay in the Imperial Medical Office and returned to his own medicine shop.
After that, the two kept in constant contact and discussed medical skills with each other. Until last year, they never saw their old friend visiting again.
"So I came to ask questions, and then I found out that my old friend had escaped into the Taoist sect. This shocked me, after all, he never believed in these things..."
"I went to the Taoist temple in person and met an old friend. He told me that he had an alchemist as his teacher and worked hard to refine the golden elixir in the hope of immortality."
"After all, it must be because I am getting older, but I am still greedy for the world of mortals, so I want to see if I can use the methods of Taoist alchemists to achieve immortality."
#####
After hearing what Wang Yiling said, Cheng Chubi had a dark expression on his face and was speechless. This was simply the most typical feudal superstition.
However, Cheng Chubi also knew that who could he convince on his own? He could only suppress the urge to complain crazily and looked at the two of them.
"Two medical orders, do you think the golden elixir and the like can make people live forever?"
Zhang Yiling shook his head decisively, with a determined look on his face.
"Xiaguan never believes in those things. If immortality is really possible, then why is there no trace of the immortal?"
"If what is stated in the "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" is correct, why is it possible to be poisoned and die after taking mercury?"
Wang Yiling glanced at Zhang Yiling, who had a different opinion with him, and slapped his mouth.
"Although I don't believe that much, the problem is, if it has no effect at all, then why is it recorded in the "Shen Nong's Materia Medica"."
Doctor Zhang opened his eyes unhappily and argued loudly.
"That only proves that the record in the Shennong's Materia Medica is wrong."
Seeing the two men starting to eyeball each other again, Cheng Chubi quickly raised his hand to stop the two gentlemen.
"You two don't need to argue. I think the best way is to try it yourself.
Take a look at the so-called top-grade mineral medicines in the "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" to see if their effects are as miraculous as what is recorded in the book."
"May I ask Cheng Taichang, how can we try this?" Wang Yiling was the first to ask.
Cheng Chubi glanced at the semi-feudal and semi-superstitious Wang Yiling and rolled his eyes.
"Of course, instead of using people, just like Cheng did the surgery, we can definitely use animals for testing."
"Just like what is written in this book, the method of the Dan family's furnace is to use mercury and lead as dragons and tigers to refine the elixir. If you take it for a long time, you can live forever, and if you take it for a long time, you can ascend and become immortal..."
"We can definitely ask Taoist experts to help us practice a few times.
Find some small animals to feed and see if you can feed them rabbit fairies, chicken fairies, etc., what do you two think?"
"..." The two doctors, Wang and Zhang, looked at Cheng Taichang who was serious and did not look like he was talking nonsense.
But why do I always feel so unreliable, such a magical rabbit fairy, chicken fairy...
Seeing the expressions of the two imperial doctors, Cheng Chubi raised his neck and asked with some displeasure.
"What expressions are you two looking at? Could it be that in this world, only humans can become immortals, but animals cannot?"
#####
Wang Yiling looked at the few beards that had grown out of fright at Cheng Taichang's words with distress, and it took him a long time to speak with difficulty.
"Cheng Taichang, in my whole life, I have only heard that animals can become fairies. I have never heard of animals that can become immortals. Oh, just fairy turtles and cranes."
Cheng Chubi smacked his mouth. It seemed that he wanted to eliminate the feudal superstition of the professional doctors of the Tang Dynasty towards these mineral medicines.
Poultry and livestock alone cannot satisfy them.
"Is the crane okay?" Cheng Chubi looked at Wang Yi Ling with interest.
"I also ask Dr. Wang to tell you frankly that Cheng really wants to give it a try. If there is really an animal that can become a sperm, cough...
If we really make animals become immortals, it will be a great achievement for us, right?
I can’t say that Your Majesty will be happy when the time comes. In the future, the welfare of the Imperial Medical Office will be two golden elixirs for each person at the end of the year.”
You can also take it together, have fun together, and reach the peak of life.
Doctor Zhang had a dark look on his face, and Doctor Wang was no better. He always felt that Cheng Taichang was being sarcastic, but there was no evidence.
"As far as I know, and what my old friend said, the master of Yongning Temple whom he studied under lived to be one hundred and eight years old.
He once described that when his master became an immortal, the turtles and cranes around him also disappeared with his master."
"Furthermore, since ancient times, immortals have always been surrounded by cranes and tortoises. I think these two animals should be the most spiritual and capable of becoming immortals."
Hearing Doctor Wang's gibbering, Cheng Chubi rolled his eyes helplessly and spoke directly.
"Mr. Wang, at least you have dealt with Taoist temples. Otherwise, see if you can find an opportunity.
Go through your friend and see if you can invite a powerful alchemist to refine a golden elixir for us?"
